'Wan Sheng! ——’

'Wan Sheng! ——’

The cheers of the soldiers echoed on the walls of the royal city of Manila, the streets were filled with welcome banners and the people who poured into the city early in the morning to pay their respects to the new owners of the city, and even the ruins of the Manila Cathedral after a little clean-up were specially placed with incense tables, the coat of arms on the door of St. Lucia was removed by craftsmen the day before yesterday and re-engraved with the North Star, which symbolizes the Senate, and the soldiers marched in line against the rising sun in the "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" In the majestic military music, he walked into this once 'eternally loyal and noble city'. The entrance to the city was serious and enthusiastic, Zhu Dazhao rode on a horse and looked at the crowd of people who welcomed him, whether it was the slogans that erupted from time to time or the small flags waving in their hands, they all did enough to 'eat the pot pulp to welcome the king', I have to say that Huang Jiang's brain is really enough for this kind of thing, and even the old woman holding the egg and the child holding the kettle have been arranged.

Cui Shirley kept changing positions to try to record this historic scene from more angles, and there was no doubt that it would be another front-page headline in Xinhua Daily, and the only thing she needed to be careful about was not to put Chief Avalos and his companions hanging from the flagpole at the head of the city into the frame of the camera, after all, it was not good to see dead people in such images.

The Solicitation Division deliberately chose yesterday – August 24, 1619 – to hold a public trial of war criminals, because this date has a more important meaning in Chinese tradition, and it is of great significance on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar to show the snow to the civilians who were slaughtered sixteen years ago.

On that day, it rained lightly again in the sky, and under the arrangement of Huang Jiang and others, thousands of people gathered early on the wharf in the stream. Regardless of whether the massacre was experienced sixteen years ago or not, after listening to the vivid descriptions of the survivors, the Chinese living here all became the same enemy, and it was not until that moment that they understood from the words of the head of the Song Dynasty that only with a people's army can they have everything of the people, and a good life cannot be given.

But before the defense begins, the perpetrator needs to be liquidated, like a ritual, the victim's straightforward narrative, the perpetrator's confession, and the propaganda and agitation of the presiding officer are intertwined, and people's emotions instantly become high, so that the people of Avalus have to be sent to the gallows in advance to avoid the result of no corpse.

On the night of the Midyear Festival, many residents in the stream burned paper money, and the faint weeping of some people could still be heard from a long distance, and the Bashi River was full of river lanterns dedicated to the souls of the dead, which looked like the Milky Way from a distance.

After a month of strategy, Manila finally changed to a new name - Minli - the capital of the Great Song Haidong Road, and the majestic entrance ceremony also announced that the conquest of the Senate this year has come to an end, and the next days will be the time to digest the results.

The 4th Battalion of the Beiwei Army, which had arrived from Borneo to reinforce it, took over the defense of the newly conquered city of Minli, while the 3rd Battalion, which had been freed up, had already begun its march against the entire 'Laguna Province' in three directions.

It was an area twenty miles southeast of Minli, where the land was fertile and the people were numerous, and according to Alcaraz, the population of the towns and estates was already close to 80,000. It was not the Spanish who made this happen, but the Laguna de Bay, a huge lake that surrounds the middle of the land.

With an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, it is the largest freshwater lake in the Philippine archipelago, even in the whole of East Asia, and the communication through the Bashi River makes the existence of Luzon's largest lake even more special for this place, it is the foundation of this fertile land, and it also indicates that most of the time, the patrol boats of the Fubo Army in Manila Bay can also enter the inner lake at any time and dock at any town and port on the lakeside.

The first to join the Counsellors, Tanay, Angono, and the southern part of Binão, all on the northern shore of the Inner Lake, surrounded the populous island of Talim, a land untouched by the Spaniards, almost in the center of the inner lake, which depicted the lake as a winding crescent. The island, on the other hand, is full of well-cultivated land, where fishermen, farmers and craftsmen who harvest bamboo and wood to make furniture and utensils live and work in Telim. The people of Telim are clearly living a decent life, and they have thrived leisurely for a long time, with only the 'Maiden's Milk' in the middle of Long Island (the indigenous language, the name of the highest peak on Telim Island, Bundok ng Susong Dalaga) bear witness to everything.

The soldiers of the First Capital were entering the area with the Tagalog tribal army as the lead, and a small town would be established at the southernmost tip of Telim Island, which would have a supporting harbor and steam-powered river gunboats would arrive from Manila Bay through the Bashi River channel, making it the core of the regime's rule over the inner lake.

The second and third capitals target the small town of Santa Cruz on the southeastern shore of the inner lake, which has been an important trading node near Manila since its founding seventeen years ago and a gateway for the church on its way to the affluent Bicol Peninsula. The navigable St. Cruz River made the region economically fortunate, and the fertile land along the inner lake was the most abundant, especially in the area for fishing and agriculture, and the spoils of war were nationalized along the post roads from Manila.

The vast agricultural area of the Lake District, which radiates from the small town of St. Cruz, will be the territory of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the state-owned plantations ......of rice, corn, sugarcane, rubber, tobacco, and may exceed 15,000 acres are beckoning to Yuan Rui, who is already gearing up.

At the foot of the southernmost volcano of the inner lake, Los Baños even has a new spa hospital built by the church, which has become a good choice for future senators because of its convenient transportation and beautiful scenery, and of course Bishop Miguel's recommendation is also one of the reasons.

The Division's entire plan was to advance the land border to Legazpi (a colonial settlement in the southwestern corner of the Bicol Peninsula, in the Gulf of Albay, near the San Bernardino Strait) by the end of the year, to take the Bigazpi Peninsula into the hands of the granary created by the volcanic complex, and to secure the capture of Cebu by sea and to settle the last formed Spanish fleet in the Philippine Islands, which included at least one large Galen warship of more than 1,700 tons.

In the north, Jacos and Quark will assist another smaller detachment of the Fubo Army, which has a population of less than 200 people (note: 185 registered taxpayers in 1619), but is strategically located to take on more links with Taiwan and the mainland, and only to connect it to Minli by land will be a matter of at least next year.

It is precisely because Hunan has the heaviest strategic task that the military strength placed in this direction at the beginning is twice that of Hubei, and it is the newly commissioned Mengting Lupa Department and the nearly 1,000-strong Chezhidan 'militia' that opened the way for them. After the rapid surrender of the original owners of Manila, the Japanese soon made the most radical change, so much so that the Senate began to seriously consider whether to temporarily hand over some of the towns it had initially taken over to some trusted 'Japanese allies' until the naturalized cadres could fully assume the management of those places.

Based on factual investigation and analysis, Xie Ming found that the Certhitan group and the Spaniards were not without contradictions, and that the Catholics from Japan should be called religious refugees in a sense. Except for a small number of skilled workers, most of the poor, including the lower class samurai, had neither land nor much money to spare, so it became a good job as a mercenary for the Spaniards, but it was difficult for these people to gain the approval of the Spanish nobility and army except for the church and the town hall, and in a sense of brutality could actually be counted as their psychological need to seek the approval of the ethnic group, and the understanding and use of psychological needs in this era may not be able to surpass the Senate.

When we look at the problem with a purpose, we will find that the facts have not deviated from the usual logic, and the contradictions between the Spaniards and the Japanese believers have not been without their eruptions, and it was not only the Chinese sailors who rebelled in the Spanish expeditions because of the bad life on the ships, but also the Chechitan, the indigenous and Mexican soldiers, and some of the archives of past trials in Manila provided by Alcaraz directly confirm the prevalence of this phenomenon.

Therefore, Xie Ming deliberately had a deep conversation with Hikogoro - the leader of Chezhitan escaped the post-war trial because he only fulfilled his duties as a mercenary and because he did not succeed in fighting the Senate, and at the same time, the Recruiting Division searched the body of Takayama from the ruins of the Manila Cathedral and reburied it with a high standard, so it can be said that all the postures should be there.

It was precisely this attitude that changed the attitude of the Japanese religious diaspora led by Hikogoro, and it was precisely with overseas Chinese leaders like Hikogoro that the Hunan development plan led by Kichitan could be implemented so smoothly, which also benefited from the Senate's commitment to return to Japan.

And the premise of all this is that the reconciliation of the two major ethnic groups in Japan and China was reached on the premise of punishing the murderer of the year, and more than 50 religious ronins who were identified as participating in the massacre of China were duly punished.

Everything is moving in the direction of expectation......

Although Borneo also has the benefits of commerce and trade, it is extremely scarce in its own resources, and even after entering the modern world, the development of Borneo there is far less than that of other parts of the South Seas. Now that there is a post-Luzon Senate, the strategic layout has begun to tilt in an all-round way, and even the support for Guangzhou and Sanya can be felt that it has slowed down a lot.

In order to rule the territory in a comprehensive manner, it became urgent to build roads as a measure to increase the control of the territory. In this matter, Huang Jiang finally changed his timid image, and mobilized all the villagers in the stream, and even the tribesmen who recruited men to their hometown in Fujian had already taken a boat on the road, and as soon as the rainy season was over, they would harden and consolidate the roadbed that had already been outlined under the guidance of the patriarch, and the large amount of wages that needed to be prepared for this came from the generous Spaniards.

The new mint was built on the site of the old Manila Cathedral, and it took less than five days to clear the ruins to erect the temporary building, and the equipment was transported by warship. A single machine can punch out 90 silver coins per minute, and even counting the number of times it is minted and recycled, a month's preparation is enough to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. This machine and the external steam engine only occupy an area of four or five square meters, and the factory composed of two machines does not consume much, and it looks quite inconspicuous, but the guards are much stricter than the temporary line of the recruitment department, and there are as many as five entry and exit searches, and the last packing box is all completed by the planning cadres from Brunei.

The Saint Nicolás and Saint Espíritu, captured at the beginning of August, were not as oily as the two Spanish galleons that preceded them, but they also had 1 million silver pesos, most of which were now transported here because of the fall of Minli. With the arrival of a large amount of silver, the soldiers in charge of the guards were even more nervous, but fortunately they knew that the silver coin was to pay the craftsmen, and even more so because some of it would be used as their own military pay.

This side of the car is finally over, but Xie Ming doesn't think that he has done his best. There is still a long way to go, and it is not very reassuring that there is not one or two hundred thousand Han people settled down on Luzon Island.

But after all, the overall situation has been decided, and it is rare to take a walk on the beach with the girl you like, so you should say something happy.

Leaving the guard behind him an arrow away, he glanced at Cui Xueli beside him and smiled lightly, "Let's say, Reporter Cui didn't ask me out just for a beach stroll, right?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, just ask for some news."

"I see, just to get some news, I thought Sister Cui had a crush on Xie." There was no one around, Xie Ming also made a fuss when he spoke, there were many young among the elders, and there were even more single men.

Cui Xueli's face was red, but she still asked: "I heard that the Hong Kong Reporter did not come back after resupplying in Coconut City two days ago, and the Zen Machine warship and a hybrid transport ship that disappeared together were newly tested in the near sea, and even our people from Xinhua Daily didn't know the exact news, so I can only come to ask you if I think about it, there won't be any secret operations, right?" ”

"So that's what happened, but there's nothing I can't say." Cui Xueli was overjoyed when she heard this, and took out a pen and paper, "It's a southbound detachment with some professional veterans who are ready to run around Australia to find all the mines." ”

"Prospecting?"

"Yes, after all, Australia has a lot of iron and a lot of coal, and Borneo's resources are a bit pediatric in comparison."

"How many people do you have to mine, isn't it early?"

"Wu Lao and a few of his students couldn't sit still for a long time, speaking of which this person is naturally more and better, since he has now taken Luzon and Fujian, it is much closer to him, and the population of the bulk will always fall in Daming." He thought for a moment, and then said, "If the Japanese side can negotiate, it can be counted." ”

Hearing Xie Ming mention Japan, Cui Xueli suddenly became interested, "Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to Elder Ping over there." ”

After visiting Sanya, he returned to Japan with him, not only for information and trade, but also for the Catholics expelled from Japan, and he should have arrived in Nagasaki at this time.

"Don't worry, the radio has sent back the news early, Lao Ping has been spending all his time in Hirado during this time, and his life is very free." Thinking of this, Xie Ming smiled bitterly again, "I was a little surprised by this person in Zhicang, I thought he would stay in Sanya for a few more days, but I didn't expect that the concentration was not bad." ”

"And how is the plan to bring in people from Japan going?"

"I don't know about this, Lao Ping won't use the radio to report to the headquarters in every detail, but I heard that the woman in Hirado took the initiative, and if he can kidnap a few back, it will be considered a population."

Cui Xueli was a little angry when she heard this: "Isn't the Nanyang woman also taking the initiative, why didn't she see you marry back?" ”

Xie Ming was choked for a while, but he still didn't show weakness, "That's different." ”

"What's the difference?"

"Appearance......
