Chapter 471: Occupation of Luzon (14)

The soldiers of the Fubo Division have a proud face, and these benefits have long been implemented in the Liu family, which is why the centripetal force of the Liu family is so great.

Liu Ximing also has his plans to do this, according to the experience of later generations, the pure state-run system naturally has many problems, but it is also necessary to look at things realistically.

At present, China's biggest problem is feudalism and bureaucracy, and if the Liu family does not implement a comprehensive state-owned system, Liu Ximing can guarantee that within a few years, the people of the world will once again become the playthings of the bureaucratic class and the landlord class.

Even if Liu Ximing has the ability to build capitalism, capital has never been kind, and if you don't see the white bones under the British enclosure movement and the industrial revolution, I am afraid that the Han people will be even more alive than dead.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Ximing feels that it is better to implement the state-owned system first and then appropriately liberalize it later, after all, he also clearly knows that only a market-oriented economy can give full play to the vitality of a country.

Moreover, Liu Ximing also considered a problem, it is now the middle of the Age of Discovery, and if China wants to develop, it will inevitably need to colonize everywhere.

And what is most important in the process of colonization, of course, is human resources.

However, because of the small-scale peasant mentality and distrust of the government, the Chinese people will inevitably resist this kind of immigration.

It would be different if all the people could be included in the system, so please refer to the various construction corps of the future generations.

Liu Ximing personally believes that the difference between one is organized migration and the other is unorganized migration.

Just like these Han people in Manila now, if they didn't live in their hometown, they wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to a strange place to beg for a living, and the risk is too great.

But with the organization is different, the existence of the organization perfectly solves the people's worries, as long as the Han people can realize that no matter where they go, there will be a government to consider and arrange for them, then Liu Ximing believes that the resistance to immigration will be much smaller.

On the evening of 18 March, this feudal superstitious activity was very successful.

Liu Ximing was originally worried that the Han people in Manila might resist the Liu family's system, but under the cover of miracles and Liu Ximing's various promises, people's worries were successfully dispelled, and the work of the Luzon General's Mansion was smoothly advanced.

By March 20, all the Han people in Manila had completed the division of labor, and Liu Ximing's various plans for Manila City had also been formulated, and they were waiting for the construction to begin.

But there is one more thing to do before this, after four days of hasty sorting, the evidence of all kinds of evil deeds of the Spaniards has been almost collected, just in front of the ** courtyard opposite the church in Manila, the original city owner is about to accept a righteous trial.

On March 21, the front of the Manila ** hospital was cleared

A large open space is laid out in an open-air courtroom in the form of a modern courthouse.

In addition to some of the people in Balian City, hundreds of merchants from various countries who had been under house arrest by Fubo Division were also invited to attend the court.

After all, in addition to appeasing the grievances of the Han people, Liu Ximing's trial was more important to establish his own civilized image in Nanyang.

Cocuella, Melcho and the others waited in horror for four or five days, only to find that the soldiers of the Fubo Division were surprisingly civilized.

Not only were the women of the Spaniards not insulted, but there were also people who went to the captives to count their belongings, and gradually the remaining 2,000 or so people slowly relaxed.

Therefore, when the court session began, Fanlinberg and other onlookers found that the faces of Cocuella and others still looked a little ruddy.

Marko, a Dutchman dressed in a brown jacket, tilted his head to Van Linberg on the side, and asked in a low voice:

"Am I dazzled, why do I think Cocuella and they seem to be doing well?"

At this time, Van Linberg had already changed into a Chinese-style long shirt, looking like a showman.

He glanced at his companion with some dissatisfaction, "Gao De, how many times have I told you, General Liu is a civilized person, and so are he and his troops. I have been treated very well during my incarceration, and I am sure His Excellency the Governor should have been. ”

Marco gasped and drew a cross on his chest, "Blessed Goard, it would be great if that was the case, it seems that I can still make it back to Batavia alive." ”

Vanlinberg shrugged, "I have no doubts. ”

"Silence"

A startling voice came from the front of the courtroom, and Liu Ximing, dressed in a red python robe of the Ming Dynasty, sat behind the makeshift trial table, and he was the judge in this trial.

"With the defendants Cocuella, Melcho...... Go to court. ”

Li Fu and 12 others, dressed in Liu family police uniforms, escorted Cocuella and other six major Manila leaders to the defendant's dock and sat down.

"Why are their clothes different from those soldiers?"

Marco glanced at Li Fu and the others with some confusion, although the style of the black straight-collared clothes was the same as that of Fuboshi, there was still a clear difference.

Unlike Marco, Van Linenberg was still free to move around in Manila, and he triumphantly looked at the Portuguese Blanco and others around him, who also wanted to inquire about the news, and introduced with a look of ostentation:

"This is the newly established police force of the Luzon General's Mansion, and they belong to the police department in the government council under the General's Mansion, and they will be responsible for the security and anti-theft work in Manila City in the future, so of course the clothing is different."

"Sounds interesting," the few white people around in the room exclaimed.

At this time, more than 20 Han people who were victims also came to the plaintiff's bench in the trial court.

Liu Ximing knocked on the startled wood and looked at Cocuella and the others again.

"How do you defend yourself against instructing Franco's soldiers to illegally execute their relatives in the eighth and ninth years of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1635 and 1636?"

Cocuella didn't expect the first one to be an accusation against himself, and he pointed to his nose with a look of surprise: "Me? Sorry, Your Excellency, I have no impression of them. ”

The Han people in the dock were furious all of a sudden.

"The one who killed a thousand knives was the one you ordered to slaughter, how dare you say that you don't know?"

Cocuella ignored the voices in the plaintiff's dock and shrugged his shoulders at Mr. Liu.

"Your Excellency, you should understand that I am only defending my country's interests in the Philippines, these people want to resist, so I ordered them to be executed, this has nothing to do with personal grudges, if I am convicted on this basis, then it will only damage Your Excellency's justice."

He turned his head to look at Van Limbau and the others who were in attendance, "I think everyone here should be able to agree with my defense, right?" ”

Van Linenburg, Marco and the others kept nodding their heads, and Van Linenburg even stood up and pleaded to Liu Ximing: "Dear general, we think that what Governor Cocuela said is reasonable, you can't convict an official for defending the interests of his country. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, may I ask you the law of which country you intend to judge them?" Marco stood up and took off his hat and saluted.

Liu Ximing showed a sneer on his face, he waved his hand to signal Van Linberg and the others to sit down, and stood up with a serious face and looked at the thousands of people present.

"Gentlemen, these two Dutch people just now asked me what law I plan to use to try Cocuella and others, and I think they are right, I cannot use the laws of the Ming Dynasty or the Luzon General's Office to try the crimes of Franco's rule."

"Long live, Gao De, Your Excellency, General, you are a truly civilized person."

Van Limbaugh and Marco and others cheered.

"Don't get excited, I'm not done yet."

The sneer on Liu Ximing's face was even worse, "Gentlemen, what you just said about the fact that the Governor of Cocuela ordered the killing in order to protect the interests of his country is not guilty, and I agree with this, but this does not mean that the killing of Han people is innocent. ”

"During Mr. Cocuella's tenure as governor, a total of 571 Han Chinese were brutally killed, and there is no such thing as the Han people who he said wanted to rebel, but the real situation is that these Francis, they were killed for the sake of killing, including their relatives."

Liu Ximing slapped the shocked wood in his hand heavily, "Now, I am not trying you for violating the laws of any country, but for the crime of being against humanity and humanity, and I declare you guilty." ”
