Chapter 138: Here comes the old reckoning

Chapter 138: The Settler Comes (Page 1/1)

Dai Chunfeng said: "It is precisely because of this that His Majesty the Emperor asked us to crusade against the Francophiles, and emphasized that the Ming Dynasty did not abandon the people, all the Chinese are naturally the Ming people, no matter where the Ming people are, they cannot be bullied, if they are bullied, the Ming army will seek justice for you." ”

The Ming man cried, "Why didn't you come earlier, my brother and nephew wouldn't have died if you came earlier." ”

Dai Chunfeng said: "His Majesty the Emperor said, I'm sorry for the people who are floating outside, we are indeed late. However, there are priorities, Jiannu is close to you, that is a problem for the henchmen, you should understand that if we don't defeat Jiannu, it is impossible for us to send troops overseas. We want to unite the Luzon and drive all the Spaniards out of Luzon. ”

The Ming people were amazed and said, "Unite the Luzonians, now they are bullying us Han Chinese with the Spaniards, how can you unite them?" ”

Before the Royal Navy came to Luzon, Zhu Youxiao specifically asked to unite with the locals to deal with the Spaniards. So Dai Chunfeng was even more surprised when he heard this: "The locals dare to bully you? ”

This is what Zhu Youxiao and Dai Chunfeng took for granted. During the Wanli Dynasty, the ministers believed that those who went overseas to seek a living voluntarily abandoned the land of their ancestors, and regarded them as abandoned people, and did not care about their life or death. After the Spaniards came to Luzon, in order to appease the locals, they pointed the finger at the Chinese, deliberately creating contradictions between the two, so that the locals and the Chinese formed an antagonism.

The Chinese are known for their industriousness, and the Chinese who come to Luzon are generally more flexible. And Luzon is a place with good natural conditions, and you can have a good harvest if you sow anything in the ground, so the locals are relatively lazy, and at the instigation of the Spaniards, some locals have set their sights on the Chinese, so the Chinese have to be oppressed by both the Spaniards and the locals.

After Dai Chunfeng learned about this situation, he thought for a while and said: "This can be assured, now that we are here, we will drive the Francophone away first, the locals should be easy to deal with, and then the Chinese will be the high-ranking people in this land." ”

Na Mingdao: "We have a school opened by the Chinese here, and we have formed a Chinese mutual aid society, and the locals don't dare to go too far, but the Francois often obstructs and limits the number of students in our school, but we have no choice." ”

Dai Chunfeng asked, "What's the name of the eldest brother?" Have you ever read a book? ”

Na Mingdao: "Master Jun, the little one is called Li Dagui." I once studied in a private school for three years. ”

Dai Chunfeng said: "Li Dagui, I am Dai Chunfeng of the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, and now I officially recruit you as an investigator of the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, and you are responsible for contacting the local Chinese and cooperating with the actions of my Ming Royal Navy." ”

Li Dagui asked with a confused face: "Master Jun, what is this military and what bureau is for?" ”

Dai Chunfeng said with a smile: "It's the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, it's a special department, specializing in doing things that the army won't do directly, and the investigator is a basic position, you can rest assured, we won't let you be a soldier, and our investigators are paid." ”

Li Dagui was a little entangled in his heart, Chinese obviously like to be officials, he just felt that this investigator did not seem to be a serious official, but he gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to join." ”

Dai Chunfeng smiled: "You won't regret today's decision in the future." Contact the local Chinese, especially some influential Chinese, ask them for advice on how to govern Luzon, collect their opinions and suggestions, and then summarize them and hand them over to me. Zhang Chengli, you are responsible for assisting Investigator Lee. ”

Zhang Chengli came out of the queue and saluted Li Dagui and said, "Please ask Investigator Li to order." ”

Dai Chunfeng smiled: "You two go, I still have to see the governor surrender." ”

The Spanish Governor's Palace in Luzon, Philip is signing the instrument of surrender in front of Gui Shuzhen. After writing it, he said to Gui Shuzhen: "Please allow me to redeem myself with my own money." ”

Gui Shuzhen smiled and said: "You have failed, and now all your money is owned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so this request of yours is useless." But you can write to you and ask you to redeem you with money from Spain, or with silver from the Americas. ”

Philip was surprised and asked, "You know the Americas?" ”

Gui Shuzhen sneered: "You barbarians know it, why don't we know?" It's funny. ”

Philip thought that since there were Portuguese in the Ming army, it would be easy for the Ming army to understand the Americas. Since the Ming army did not let him use the money in Manila to redeem himself, he could only go to the country to ask people to redeem him.

Gui said frankly: "All Spaniards can only stay in the Manila barracks, all weapons must be surrendered, if there is any hidden weapons or any provocation to the Ming Royal Navy, the Ming Royal Navy has the right to kill on the spot." Mr. Governor can send a ship back to get the money, and of course, you can also call in the Spanish army if you want more Spaniards to die. ”

The Marines quickly took over the defense of the Doge's Palace and barracks, and collected all the Spaniards' weapons. Then all the Spaniards were herded into the barracks and put in their guard. And the Governor's Palace changed the sign, which said the Temporary Office of the Ming Dynasty Luzon.

The temporary office of Luzon was in charge of Yang Jingchen, who was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and a former scholar of the Zhan Shifu and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and could be regarded as Zhu Youxiao's confidant. He brought with him thirty volunteers from the Clerk's School and the Normal School, and with the assistance of the Royal Navy and the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, and was ambitious to expand his territory in Luzon.

Li Dagui took Zhang Chengli to the only Chinese school in Manila, and the Chinese Mutual Aid Society was also in this school. Li Dagui asked Zhang Chengli to wait outside, walked lightly to the outside of the mountain chief's room, and knocked on the door.

A gentle voice came from inside: "Come in." Li Dagui gently pushed the door in, and said first: "Hello Mr. Yang." ”

Mr. Yang is about 40 years old, and his expression is serious but does not make people feel rejected. He smiled and said, "It turned out to be a big noble, today is not the day of the party, why did you come to me." ”

Li Dagui said: "Mr. Yang, there was an artillery battle on the sea outside just now, don't you know at all?" ”

Mr. Yang sighed and said, "Is it that the Franc machine man is doing some kind of drill again?" We are in Luzon, we are the swords of man, and I am the flesh of fish. What's the point of just watching the excitement? ”

Li Dagui said: "Mr. Yang, it's not a drill, it's the Ming army that came to Luzon, saying that it is to find a Francophone to calculate the old accounts of the 31st year of Wanli and the 37th year of Wanli." ”
