Under this grand policy, the officials of the empire in overseas areas were more inclined to seize a piece of land, drive the natives away, and then distribute it to immigrants from the country to cultivate!

Luzon and the three states of Banten and Gohe have all done this, and the most successful is Banten.

The report sent back to the mainland by Zhu Jiaxiang, the governor of Banten Prefecture at the end of last year, said: "Under the rule of Banten, all are the subjects of the empire!" ”

The implication is that there is not a single indigenous person in the actual control area of Banten Province!

When Zhu Jiaxiang was the governor of Banten Province, the policy implemented was to expel the indigenous people of a place as long as the land was occupied and a place was occupied!

This has been done before, and in the foreseeable future, the Banten authorities will continue to do so, and when the Tang Empire's Banten Mansion actually controls the entire Sultan Island, it means that there is no longer a single indigenous person on the Sultan Island!

This kind of policy is not called colonization, but the expansion of territory!

Therefore, Luzon and Banten are not overseas colonies of the Empire, but overseas direct territories of the Empire!

It is true that the practice of occupying one place and immigrating to one place practiced by overseas territories such as Banten Province has not allowed them to have a large area of actual control in the past few years, and the actual control area of Banten Province is only the two sides of the Sunda Strait and Bali, while the actual control area of Luzon Province is only the area around Manila Bay and a small colony of Minlau Island.

Elsewhere, in fact, it is still under the control of the local natives!

However, this is not to say that the empire does not have control over the areas that are still under native rule, and in Banten Island, the authorities in Banten Province have effectively exterminated several surrounding native lords and supported new native lords, and then supported them in their wars with other lords, turning the entire island of Banten upside down.

In recent years, the melee between the lords of the Bajang Kingdom on Banten Island is related to the weakness of the Bajang royal family and its inability to control the overall situation, but it is also very related to the intervention of the Banten authorities.

Whether it is in Fuso, Banten Island, or Luzon, the local Tang officials always like to provoke wars against the local natives and watch them kill each other!

Under this kind of big back, it is not surprising that those indigenous lords who participated in the attack on Wandan City before are in a hurry to return to their respective territories, because they know with their toes that the next Datang Wandan authorities will definitely retaliate, and this retaliation may be that they personally went into battle, or it may support the previous lords who took refuge in Datang to attack.

In short, a new round of large-scale scuffle in Banten Island is inevitable, and they need to prepare as soon as possible!

The pirates have fled, the indigenous army has also retreated, and the city of Banten, which was in danger of being destroyed a day ago, has also ushered in peace!

Colonel Yang Hong did not choose to be greedy and rash and pursued when the enemy retreated!

The strength of Banten City is not much, if they go out of the city to pursue, in case someone comes to attack Banten City again, then it will really be over, and if you pursue, it is not so easy to pursue, those pirates are all very cunning, and they will run away immediately as soon as they see that the situation is not right, and they will still be broken into zero, and there is no pursuit at all.

As for those natives, they are the head snakes of the land, and they know the road traffic on Banten Island best, and the Tang people, in the final analysis, are still a group of outsiders, and they are not familiar with large-scale pursuits, and it is easy to capsize in the gutter!

Therefore, after the pirates and natives retreated, Yang Hong did not choose to pursue, except for sending a small number of men to clean up the battlefield outside the city and repair the dock facilities in the port, there was no large-scale action.

In this case, it was also the efforts of Xia Zhiquan and others who hurried back all the way to the point of uselessness, and when Xia Zhiquan finally rushed back to Banten City with the fleet seven days later, he heard that the pirates and natives had already run away, and after careful questioning, he found out that it was these pirates and the natives themselves who had internal strife.

But even if Banten City is safe and sound, Xia Zhiquan is still extremely angry, these pirates and natives are really bold!

Those pirates have come and gone without a trace, and this encirclement and suppression will not be able to be encircled for a while, but those natives are on Banten Island, and if they don't take retaliatory measures, these natives will probably think that they can be bullied casually.

So on the second day after returning to Banten City, Xia Zhiquan is asking for a new round of military strikes against the hostile indigenous lords on Banten Island, this time if he does not destroy several lords, he Xia Zhiquan is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

Zhu Jiaxiang, who was lying on the hospital bed and only had two or three hours of awake time a day and night, was completely unable to handle government affairs at this time, and he had already asked people to send a letter to the empire, saying that his time was running out, and asking His Majesty to allow him to return to his hometown, and he wanted to die at home, not in a wild place overseas...... At the same time, it is also for the empire to send a new prefect of Banten Province to replace him.

However, even if there is a communication clipper, it takes a lot of time to come and go, and I don't know if Zhu Jiaxiang can hold up to the reply in China, let alone take a sea ship back to China, and it is unlikely that he can hold up such a long sea bump.

Looking at Zhu Jiaxiang's sick appearance, Xia Zhiquan also sighed, he couldn't bear to disturb him, but ordering the troops to attack the surrounding natives, the military did not have this power, and in the entire Wanten Mansion, only Zhu Jiaxiang had this power.

Although Zhu Jiaxiang is seriously ill and sleeps most of the day, although his spirit is not good when he is awake, his sanity is still there!

After listening to the reports of Xia Zhiquan, Yang Hong, Cheng Zhiqi and others, he did not make any long speeches, but simply said: "Since this is the case, then it is appropriate to destroy a few lords and let them know what is called the emperor's grace!" ”

He approved the military plan, he called Cheng Zhiqi again, and then said: "I'm afraid that this official will not be able to support people from the country, starting from today, this official officially authorizes you to act as the prefect of Banten Province with all the powers!" ”

After saying that, he didn't go to see Cheng Zhiqi and the others again, but closed his eyes!

He did not fall into a stupor, but recalled his experience in the past two years in Banten Province, although Banten Province is remote overseas, he was still sent to this ghost place, but I have to say that he is the real ruling party when he is in Banten Province, and he is the actual ruler of the entire Banten Province.

One word can decide the life and death of those indigenous princes and lords!

This kind of power is not even possessed by the prefects of the high-ranking prefectures in the country!

It's a pity that even if it is majestic overseas, it is still better at home!

Thinking about it, his thoughts gradually drifted along the long river of time, he remembered his early years, he was born in a poor family, when he was only seventeen years old when he was admitted to the former Ming Juren, how high-spirited he was, at that time he was not married, he was favored by many gentry families, during that period of time, the endless stream of matchmakers almost stepped on the threshold of his family, and finally he married the daughter of the local gentry family.

But he was named Sun Shan in three consecutive subjects, and he didn't take the test in the fourth subject because of Ding Wei, and when he went to take the test for the fifth time, he was nearly forty years old, and he was still named Sun Shan!

From a seventeen-year-old genius rookie in the field to a down-and-out scholar who is nearly forty years old, this is the first half of his life!

After participating in the examination for the fifth time, he was still named Sun Shan, when the Tang Dynasty swept the southern provinces, like many fallen scholars, because of the unwillingness in his heart, but also because of the desire for glory and wealth in his heart, Zhu Jiaxiang did not hesitate at all, he was a thief......

After joining the Tang Dynasty, his career was not said to be smooth, but it was smooth sailing in the past few years, but God was destined not to want him to go smoothly in this life, so when Xuanping was eight years old, he was defeated in the officialdom struggle, and was mentioned to Wandan by a competitor, becoming the first prefect of Bandan Mansion.

The ups and downs of nearly 50 years of life have made Zhu Jiaxiang see through a lot of things!

He knew that it was unlikely that he would return to China alive, and now his only hope was that the bones would be transported back to China for burial after death!

Revert to one 's origin!

Secondly, he didn't want his name to be tarnished in any way!

When 20,000 enemies besieged the city before, Zhu Jiaxiang said that Banten City must be defended, because he Zhu Jiaxiang can't afford to lose this face, and the empire can't afford to lose this face!

Therefore, before he chose to authorize Cheng Zhiqi to act as the prefect, he decided to launch a retaliatory counterattack against the surrounding natives, and he did not allow any stain on the last day of his career.

Zhu Jiaxiang gradually fell asleep, Cheng Zhiqi and Xia Zhiquan and Yang Hong on the side looked at Zhu Jiaxiang on the bed, these three people sighed in unison, Zhu Jiaxiang in the past two years, what a majestic man he was in Wandan, to put it mildly, in the past two years, Zhu Jiaxiang was in Wandan, that is the king, holding military and political power.

This kind of power is not available in any feudal minister in the country!

The only ones who can have many powers at the same time, such as military, political, and diplomatic affairs, are only a few prefects and prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of overseas countries.

But such a man, who had frightened many natives at the sound of his name in the past two years, was now pale and exuding a strong sense of death.

Looking at Zhu Jiaxiang like this, Cheng Zhiqi secretly said in his heart:

Today's Zhu Jiaxiang is hard to guarantee that it is not his tomorrow!

If you stay in this ruined place of Banten for a long time, sooner or later you will die of war, not from all kinds of inexplicable diseases, even at the hands of natives or pirates.

This place can't stay any longer, and we must return home as soon as possible!

Because, he doesn't want to die!
