Chapter 581: Half of the meeting
"Li Guozhu, a grass citizen, together with the Chinese representatives of Manila, congratulated Wang Shaobao on conquering Manila and raising the prestige of the Ming Dynasty outside the territory."
After witnessing the surrender ceremony of the Spaniards, the Chinese in the square crackled and lit firecrackers to celebrate, adding to the joy. Li Guozhu led the Chinese representatives in Manila to congratulate Wang Yue.
"You're Li Guozhu?" Wang Yue looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked. Of course, he knew that Li Guozhu, the son of Li Dan, the sea lord of the year, but this Li Guozhu was exiled to Nanyang after losing the struggle with Zheng Zhilong, and there is no record in history, and he originally settled in Manila.
Li Guozhu suddenly knelt down and said: "Xiaomin is guilty, he once helped the Dutch to become enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Wang Shaobao will forgive me." ”
After the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch, two hostile forces, turned from confrontation to cooperation, and carried out stable maritime trade. However, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu were still designated as pirate forces by Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian official Fujian coastal defense guerrilla general, and became the target of attack.
"Mr. Li, please take it, the grievances between you and Zheng Zhilong, this official will not comment." Wang Yue said with a smile: "In the future, Manila and the entire Luzon will become my Ming overseas territory, and this official still has a lot to rely on you overseas Chinese." ”
Wang Yue didn't care about the characterization given to Li Guozhu by the Ming official, and Li Guozhu was overjoyed and said: "Thank you Lord Shaobao, Guozhu is grateful." ”
In the Battle of Manila, 2,822 Spanish regulars were killed, 1,500 and 3 prisoners, 124 Polish cavalrymen, 1,300 Spanish militiamen, and 1,752 prisoners. The natives suffered the greatest casualties, killing more than 23,500 and taking 11,465 prisoners.
The war was temporarily over, but the investigation of the Spaniards was carried out for seven days, with the full assistance of Li Guozhu and other Chinese living in Manila.
Wang Yue took the investigation results sent by Li Chuanxin, frowned and said, "How come there are only 552 Spanish war criminals stained with Chinese blood?" ”
Li Chuanxin said: "Commander, thirty-five years have passed since the massacre of China during the Wanli period, most of the Spanish soldiers have been retired or transferred back to Europe, and only a very small number of them are still in Manila after retirement, and most of these more than 500 people have killed Chinese for various reasons in the past few decades. ”
If the Tiance Army does not conquer Manila, according to the second Manila massacre in history, it will be staged next year, in fact, the entire Manila Spaniards will be slaughtered, and there will definitely be no unjust souls.
"Forget it, let's take them under the knife." Wang Yue patted the information in his hand and said, "Let Takuya Kimura and Ichiro Matsuura come to see me." ”
The slaughter of all the Spaniards in Manila is not in line with the balance of the future trade between the starting point city and Europe, the trade between China and Europe should be diversified, the production capacity of the starting point city is gradually accelerating, and Europe is a good dumping ground for products.
Takuya Kimura and Ichiro Matsuura soon arrived: "What is the reason why Lord Shaobao asked me to come here?" ”
Wang Yue looked at them meaningfully and said, "I heard that the two of you have recently made a fortune, congratulations." ”
The two of them looked unnatural, and hurriedly said: "We are also entrusted with the blessing of Lord Shaobao, and we are happy together." ”
"Oh, since it's Tongxi, then give me half of the property you get, you should have no opinion, right?" Wang Yue said slowly.
Well, the two of them were stunned for a moment, completely unaware that Lord Wang Shaobao, who was so rich as a country, would take a fancy to their tattered goods.
After the capture of the royal city of Manila, the Japanese mercenaries were ordered to sweep the surrounding indigenous villages, aiming to completely exterminate the remaining 15,000 indigenous servants, in the process more than 60 indigenous villages were destroyed, and the indigenous people and the servant army captured more than 20,000 people.
There is no gold around Manila, but the Japanese mercenaries are too thin-eyed, and it may be that Japan is indeed too poor now, so the poor clanging natives are dug up by them, and the bottles and cans are all looted by them.
"What? Didn't Manila come down from Lord Ben? Wang Yue glared at Takuya Kimura as he said and said, "King Rong, the account of your rebels killing the Chinese by mistake, this official has not yet calculated it with you." ”
"No need to count, no need to count, half of the wealth we get should go to Lord Wang." Takuya Kimura said.
Matsuura Ichiro also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, half of it should belong to Lord Wang." ”
Wang Yue didn't really like the tatters, he just didn't want them to eat too fat.
"Have you finished purging the Native Servant Army?" Wang Yue asked.
Takuya Kimura said with some embarrassment: "Lord Shaobao, although the combat effectiveness of these indigenous soldiers is not very good, but they are quite flexible in climbing mountains and mountains, drilling forests and climbing trees, and there are many rainforests around Manila, so three or four thousand people have escaped." ”
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Let them run well, they will run there, you will chase there, the indigenous villages along the way are suspected of hiding these guys, isn't it your chance to make a fortune?" ”
Takuya Kimura and Ichiro Matsuura's eyes lit up, and they were overjoyed: "What Lord Shaobao said is reasonable, hahaha, hahaha!" ”
The two of them were having a good time talking, and robbery was their favorite pastime, especially if their opponents were very scumbag.
The natives were plagued by devils, and Wang Yue also liked to see it, which was the main reason why they were invited to Nanyang as thugs.
"Now that there are more than 34,000 indigenous captives, that's more than 30,000 mouths, so you can't let them be idle every day to consume food, right? What do you think about what to do with these captives? Wang Yue asked.
Matsuura Ichiro said: "I suggest that it is better to make them all slaves, let them cultivate the land, let them feed themselves, and increase the grain harvest." ”
Takuya Kimura said: "These natives are as stupid as pigs, they are lazy to eat, I'm afraid they are not good laborers, and we have to disperse our troops to guard them, the gains outweigh the losses!" As............! ”
Saying that, he made a head-killing gesture with his hands, and the slaughter of prisoners by the rebels was a common thing to do in the local war, so he had no psychological pressure.
Matsuura Ichiro frowned and said, "Kimura-kun, are you rebels so murderous?" That's more than 30,000 lives! ”
If you want to kill a prisoner, Matsuura Ichiro won't take it too seriously, but to slaughter more than 30,000 people, he is still a little difficult to accept as a young man.
Takuya Kimura said with a cold look in his eyes: "Hmph, according to this king's understanding, almost all of these natives believe in the pagans of the Green Sect, of course everyone should be killed." ”
