Chapter 469: Occupation of Luzon (12)

Liu Ximing already has a preliminary draft on the question of how to govern Luzon, but in fact, there is Liujiacun's governance experience in the past, and it only needs to be expanded.

He looked at the people in the room and explained his plan in detail:

"The Luzon General's Mansion is divided into five major plates, one is the army, which is directly led by me, and during my absence in Luzon, the establishment of the Governor's Office of the three armed forces is under unified command, and the three armed forces, the army, navy, and air force are also."

"Degao served as the Governor of the Navy, and Jing Yong, Dehui and other members of the Iron-blooded Datong Society formed the Navy Military Committee to collectively lead the Navy to carry out various tasks."

You Degao and others looked at each other, everyone in the army and navy knew it, but what the hell was this air force.

Liu Ximing did not explain in detail, and said to himself:

"The second is to set up the Government Affairs Yuan, which is set up under the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Construction, and other 11 departments.

The term prime minister has been used in China since ancient times, for example, there are now five provincial prime ministers in the Central Plains, who are responsible for the post of exterminating the Liukou.

"The third is to change the Ministry of Governance to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with a general imperial history, and a number of imperial envoys such as the left imperial history, the right imperial history, the left deputy imperial history, and the right deputy imperial envoy, and the prime minister Luzon officials to supervise and impeach."

"Fourth, the court will be changed to Dali Temple, with a Dali Temple secretary and a number of young secretaries, and the Prime Minister will hear all civil cases in Luzon, and the Criminal Department will be responsible for managing prisons and judicial education."

"Fifth, the establishment of the Assembly House, with a large and a number of middle and small opinions, and these positions are held by people with prestige and ability in the people, who are responsible for legislating, making suggestions and suggestions, and supervising the administration of the Government Council."

Nayan is an official name in ancient China, but it has been used by the Japanese since then, and Liu Ximing can't think of any good names for a while, so he can only borrow this first.

According to his ideas, these systems will continue to be perfected in the future, and may even form a structure like the three-province six-ministry system again.

However, this is already incredible, after listening to Liu Ximing's narration, even if Gu Peng, You Degao and others are used to the life of Liujia Village, they are still a little dumbfounded.

"The second young master seems to have a plan for a long time, but thanks to my father, he still thinks about you every day." , Gu Peng said a sentence with a little joking, which made everyone laugh again.

Liu Ximing Zhengse said to everyone: "It's already March, and I don't have much time in Luzon, so I will stay in Manila in the next two months to build a government structure, and the Franji people in Luzon will be handed over to Fubo Shi to clear them." ”

"Understood", You Degao and others snapped upright.

"Okay, then I will directly announce the order, Degao led four battleships and twelve cruisers and frigates to sweep along Manila Bay, including Cavite and Corregidor Island, which must all be uprooted."

"Jing Yong led a battalion of 2,000 men to the east, rescued the Han Chinese people in Calaba as soon as possible, and destroyed four villages along the coast of the Franji people."

"Dehui will lead another battalion to the north, be sure to sweep away the Franz people in Malolos, Cagayan and other places, and at the same time you also have a mission, try to subdue the native tribes along the road, and inform the establishment of the Han Luzon General's Mansion on the whole island."

"What if the natives are not convinced?" , Zhao Jingyong touched his cheek and asked.

Liu Ximing sneered, "If the distant people are not convinced, then the artillery will come, each of your troops is equipped with a three-inch cannon, and whoever is not convinced will be beaten." ”

You Degao looked at Liu Ximing with some incomprehension, "Second brother, since you are so ruthless to the natives, then why should we be polite to the Franco, these people all have enmity with the Han people, can't they just shoot directly?" It can also win a wave of people's hearts. ”

Liu Ximing stood up with his hands in his hands and said: "Think about it, what kind of strength can Luzon rely on to gain a foothold in this dangerous South Seas. ”

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, he was the first to give the answer.

"It is industry and commerce, and only by developing industry can Luzon have sufficient goods, and only by guaranteeing commerce can these goods be circulated, on the one hand, to introduce gold and silver to Luzon, and on the other hand, to improve the living standards of the Han people on the island."

"Only in this way will the Han people on Luzon be convinced of us, and our rule will be secure."

"I won't say much about industry, our Liu family has been doing it, and this time we have to let go of our hands and feet. Business is different, its foundation is credit, and only when others think you are trustworthy will they be willing to do business with you. ”

"That's why I insist on a trial of the Francis, some of these people will definitely be killed, but through the trial, the Dutch and the little Franji will realize that we are civilized, and they will come again next time."

"I see", Zhao Jingyong stood with his hands around his arms with a serious and thoughtful expression, "I really live to learn all the time." ”

Liu Ximing smiled lightly, he thought about more than that.

In fact, Manila has a very important position in modern Chinese history, and it is precisely because of the galleon trade between Manila and South America that the Ming Dynasty was able to obtain a huge amount of silver, which gave rise to a series of subsequent problems.

Now that the Liu family has captured Manila, it is equivalent to cutting off the trade routes between the two places, and if there is no annual import of millions of taels of silver, Liu Ximing does not know whether the Ming Dynasty will further exacerbate various social problems.

In addition, the future development of Manila also needs to involve many forces, so he wants to do his best to save this trade route.

Truth be told, the odds aren't too high.

Because Spain is basically the most powerful country in the Age of Discovery.

In other countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France, everyone thinks that they can just do business and make a lot of money, but Spain is not, he still has life ideals.

Every time they colonized a place, the Spaniards desperately preached and promoted their Human Guide 2.0 Catholicism, even if it provoked greater contradictions, so the virtues of the Spanish royal family Liu Ximing could also think of with his ass.

But he was still willing to give it a try, because Comrade Lao Ma said that when there is 100 percent profit, the capitalist dares to trample on all human laws.

The Spanish crown could endure the pain of cutting off trade, but the Spaniards could not bear it.

Of course, all this must be possible in the case of subduing the Spaniards, as the so-called barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue, and the ancients do not deceive me.

The negotiations at the General's Mansion continued until late at night, and early the next morning, according to Liu Ximing's orders, the Fubo Division divided into three armies and attacked in all directions.

The first to be wiped out was in Cavite, a port of about 30 miles from Manila, where only a few dozen Spaniards were stationed, and it was quickly wiped out.

After that, You Degao followed the line of Manila Bay, and successively took key positions such as Corregido Island one by one, and guarded these places, and the news of Luzon would have to spread for a long time.

A battalion led by Zhao Jingyong, led by Chen Hai and others, followed the path carved out by the Spaniards all the way south to Calabar, 130 miles away.

At this time, Kalaba is no longer a wilderness swamp three years ago, after the hard work of 6,000 Han people and more than 3,000 natives, nearly 150,000 acres of land have been reclaimed here, showing a thriving scene.

It's just that this prosperity has nothing to do with the 6,000 Han Chinese, who not only have to work under the supervision of the Spaniards, but also have to endure malaria and other diseases, and the spirit of the entire Han Chinese community is on the verge of collapse.

Zhao Jingyong, who was ordered to come to deal with these compatriots, could not know that just a year later, in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Han people in Calaba finally could not bear the endless oppression of the Spaniards and rose up.

The rebels killed all the Spanish officials, sentinels and priests, settled their families in the mountains and forests, and gathered an army of 3,000 men and marched towards Manila.

The fires of the uprising spread throughout Luzon, and tens of thousands of Han Chinese rose up to resist the Spaniards throughout Luzon.

However, due to the difference in equipment and combat ability, the rebel army in Luzon was suppressed by the Spaniards one after another, and by the end of the uprising, more than 20,000 Han Chinese were slaughtered on the island.

This was the third massacre of the Filipino Han by the Spaniards.

But even if he didn't know about this impending tragedy, Zhao Jingyong was still angry in his heart.

In Luzon, the Han people turned out to be the fourth class of people, which reminded Zhao Jingyong of the Yuan Dynasty that Liu Ximing had said in his history class.

It is no longer the time when any Tatar with a knife can kill hundreds of Han people, Zhao Jingyong has a silver tooth, and observes the situation in front of him.

After three days of marching, a battalion of Fubo Division soldiers had lurked in the jungle near Calabar, and in front of them were plantations full of pepper, sugar cane and other crops.

To the north of Calabar is the inner lake of Luzon, a wide lake with a clear sky, reflecting a peerless beauty.

The Spaniards built a small wooden fort here, surrounded by a number of guard towers, which were used to supervise the Han Chinese people.

A large area of thatched houses was built around the fort, and from time to time Han women carried dustpans, pots, and other things to the fields to deliver food.

In order to avoid hurting the Han people, Zhao Jingyong and others could only retreat and find a place to wait quietly for the night.
