Chapter 467: Occupation of Luzon (10)

At this time, the city of Balian was already boiling.

After a night of artillery fire and shouts of killing, if it weren't for Huang Yang, Zhang He and others with more than 700 people desperately trying to maintain order, I am afraid that the city of Balian would have been in chaos long ago.

As the sky brightened, more and more Han Chinese stepped out of their houses and into the streets, strolling toward the smoking city of Manila and the harbor.

Many people even directly pulled Huang Yang and others to ask questions.

They were all villagers, and Huang Yang, Zhang He and others could only repeat the news they knew to everyone, and gradually spread it to ten, ten, ten, hundred, and tens of thousands of people in the city all knew a big news.

An army from the Ming Dynasty reached Manila, and there were tens of thousands of people.

Fubo Division left two Qu soldiers in Balian City to assist Huang Yang and others in maintaining order, and the people in Balian City did not dare to come forward to talk, so they all stood far away to watch the freshness.

"Second brother is here!"

A shout came, and Huang Yang and the others, who were staying in the east of the city, hurriedly followed the soldiers of the Fubo Division to meet them.

Surrounded by five hundred guards, Liu Ximing strode from the port and stepped into the area of Balian City, only to see a dense crowd of human heads in front of him.

"Guard battalion, maintain order", Li Biao shouted, and the guards who were ready to go took neat steps to divide the crowd into two sides and make a way out.

Liu Ximing saw Huang Yang and the others at a glance, he laughed and beckoned to them, signaling them to come to his side.

"Huang Yang, these are the Zhang He and the others you talked about before, right?"

Huang Yang was a spirit when he saw Liu Ximing dressed up, and when he heard Liu Ximing's question, he immediately replied loudly with excitement on his face: "Second brother, that's right, it's just a few of them." โ€

"Okay", Liu Ximing looked at Zhang He and the others with approving eyes, "I said before that anyone who helped our army would be rewarded for their merits after the war." โ€

"Huang Yang, is there an open place in the city, let's go there, call the whole city over, I want to talk to my father, the old folks."

"Holo"

The crowd in Balian City surged again, all moving towards the square in the center of the city.

The Spaniards built a small square here in their own style, which was convenient for them to release news and so on, but it was convenient for Liu Ximing at this time.

In the central square, the guard battalion quickly borrowed a few tables from the surrounding people's homes and built a high platform.

Liu Ximing walked up, stood on the high platform and looked down, the dense building was crowded with people everywhere, men, women and children all looked at him expectantly.

"Fathers and fellow villagers of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, I will tell you a good news, the Franji people who have oppressed you for decades have all been annihilated and captured by our Liu family's army, and from now on, Manila will be ruled by our Han people."

There was a whisper in the crowd, but it was not as cheering as Liu Ximing imagined.

Liu Ximing thought deeply for two seconds, and immediately understood the worries of the people in Balian City.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, my name is Liu Yu, I am the leader of the Liu family's army, everyone guessed right, we are also from Daming, but I can tell you that we are different from those dog officials in Daming, we are going to Manila to let you live a good life."

"I now announce the establishment of the Luzon General's Palace, with me as the general of Luzon, from now on, all kinds of harsh taxes imposed on everyone by the Franz people will be abolished, and in this Manila city, we Han people are first-class people, and all the ghosts and natives have to listen to us."

"Roar"

"Long live General Liu"

Suddenly there was a burst of shouts from the crowd, and the tens of thousands of people gathered around the square were all boiling.

Liu Ximing laughed, these people in Balian City were really worried about the Ming officials.

For the sake of insurance, he didn't dare to use his real name, but instead used his name before the crossing, so that even if the news was transmitted back to Daming in the future, no one would be able to find out his heels.

Liu Ximing looked at Li Biao and motioned for him to maintain order, and several guards immediately knocked the gong in their hands.

The cheering crowd fell silent again.

"Now let me say two points first, one is to reward meritorious personnel, Huang Yang, Lin Gen, Zhang He, Li Fu, you all come up."

Liu Ximing pointed to Huang Yang and the others who climbed the high platform and smiled at the crowd: "These people understand the righteousness and assist our army in attacking Manila City, and it is with their help that our army can ensure the safety of all the villagers and elders when they successfully conquer Manila City." โ€

"I announce that I will appoint them as the head of my Liu Jiajun, and each of them will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, this official is equivalent to the general of our Ming Dynasty, and the seven hundred heroes who followed them will all be rewarded, and we will talk about the merits when we settle down in the city."

"Wow"

"Then when you see Ah Yang, don't they have to be called master?"

"yes, it's the right person."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The Han people all looked at Huang Yang and the others with envy, and what Liu Ximing said was easy to understand, and everyone had a reference at once.

Huang Yang, Lin Gen and others held their heads high at this moment, and the joy on their faces was overflowing, and the more than 700 people who followed them in the incident also cheered with their hearts.

In this way, Baliancheng can at least be stabilized, and Liu Ximing is secretly happy in his heart.

He waved to signal everyone to be quiet, and after such a while, the people of Balian City unconsciously accepted his leadership, and the voices in the crowd gradually became quieter.

"The second thing I want to say is about the Franco, where are the soldiers of the Fubo Division, and bring the leader of the Francophone."

Unarmed Cocuella and Juan Cรกvez were in ambush

The Boshi soldiers walked into the square with their eyes on them.

The Han people who were watching around looked at Cocuella and the others with eyes full of anger, but the Spaniards had accumulated a lot of power, and everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Archbishop Melcho of Manila was also prominently listed, but when his eyes swept over the familiar believers, the gang was completely indifferent.

The sangles were all hypocrites, and Meljo was filled with grief and indignation.

Liu Ximing pointed at Kokuela and the others with his hand, looked at many people and said:

"General Ben knows that everyone is bullied by the Franji people, and he must want to kill them and ...... them as soon as possible."

Cocuella heard Melcho's translation in his ear and immediately wanted to rush to the vicinity of the high platform, but when he was stopped by the Fubo division soldiers, he shouted directly:

"No, God above, you have given us your promise!"

Meljo and the others followed loudly to plead against Liu Ximing.

"Quiet", Liu Ximing's indifferent eyes swept over these people.

When Cocuella and the others looked at him angrily, he said indifferently:

"What I promise is that I will let you receive a fair trial, not let you go, you know the harm you have caused to my Han people for so many years."

"But you can also rest assured that we Han people are civilized people, everything will be judged according to our laws, and those who have not killed or harmed our people will be safe."

Li Biao pushed Cocuella back and said viciously: "If you dare to talk more, be careful that I will block your mouth." โ€

Liu Ximing didn't care about Kokuela and the others anymore, and continued to look at the people of Balian City and said:

"As I said just now, these Francois will be judged, and when the time comes, everyone who has been wronged can avenge their grievances, and those who have revenge can take revenge."

"Lord Qingtian"

There was another crying cheer from the crowd.

"However, at the moment, we have only captured Manila, and there are still many strongholds of the Francisians in the entire Luzon Island and its nearby islands, and in the next period of time, the General's Office will continue to send troops to exterminate these places, so the trial will be postponed, please understand and cooperate."

"In addition, the General's Mansion has just been established, and there will be many vacancies, so talented people are welcome to apply for jobs in the General's Mansion, and the families who are hired will be given priority to move to Manila City."

"Hahaha, we can go to the city."

"Yellow steward", Liu Ximing saw a group of merchants and sailors being taken to the square, and the first one in front was the steward of the firm who had traded cotton cloth with the Liu family before.

Including Steward Huang, hundreds of merchant sailors all looked at Liu Ximing with apprehensive eyes.

Hearing that Liu Ximing wanted to say hello to himself, Steward Huang's frightened face immediately formed a smirk, "Liu, General Liu, you can just attack Manila City, it has nothing to do with us." โ€
