In fact, the degree of civilization of the indigenous people of Luzon Island is not bad, not to mention that compared with those indigenous people in Taiwan who still live in primitive society, it is not bad compared with the ethnic minorities under the jurisdiction of some Tusi under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info their current social form has both some feudal flavor and a large remnant of slavery. Even because of some Spanish influences, there are still a lot of capitalist shadows.

And with such a set of things, the oppression of the lower levels can naturally be imagined. Especially after the arrival of the Spaniards, the situation is even more serious. To be honest, Spain's rule over Luzon was much milder than their rule over the natives of South America. This is mainly because Luzon is too far away for the Spaniards, and it is much closer to South America from Spain than from Spain to Luzon. As a result, the number of Spaniards who were able to reach Luzon was much smaller. Naturally, it is difficult to enforce the stricter decrees that are as draconian as they were in the Americas. Secondly, in the minds of the Spaniards, Luzon and South America are not the same use. The Spaniards occupied Luzon in order to gain some of their possessions, but more importantly to use it as a hub for trade with the whole of the East.

The prosperity of trade naturally brought with it all kinds of luxuries. The lack of manpower also made it difficult for the Spaniards to work with the local indigenous upper echelons. In this way, these indigenous upper-class people also have the opportunity to know how rich people live a good life, this is just like Grandma Liu before entering the Grand View Garden, the days of the rich people who can be imagined are just that they can eat roast chicken every meal, and only when they enter the Grand View Garden do they know that they also eat eggplant, but people's eggplant has to go through seven or eight processes, as an ingredient, and more than ten old hens will be used.

In short, it was the upper echelons of the indigenous people who saw from the Spaniards what kind of luxurious and obscene life the rich people lived. Then they naturally have the idea that "the big husband should be like this", and then they will find that they are really short of money. Then, the knocking at the bottom will naturally be heavier. Therefore, there is a contradiction between the upper and lower levels of the indigenous people. It's just that this contradiction was previously used by the people. Tribe. Spear. The shield is just a cover-up.

In addition to this contradiction, there is also an obvious problem with the natives, that is, even the upper echelons of the aborigines are not monolithic. The Spaniards did not dare to let them do the same. So the indigenous people are also divided into factions. Basically, some of the Catholic natives near Manila were the ones who took advantage of the Spanish when they took control of Luzon, while others who stayed away from Manila were the more bullied. Moreover, in the past, the conflicts between the Chinese and the indigenous were mainly between the Chinese and the pro-Spanish indigenous people. This is not because at that time, those Chinese on Luzon Island were already far-sighted enough to be ready to pull one faction and fight another, but because those pro-Spanish natives were close to Manila and at the same time to the Chinese. This state of affairs naturally leaves room for subsequent differentiation work.

"Brother Bangui, that's the general situation." In the small living room of Zheng Sen's Zheng family in Anping, Zheng Sen was playing with an old-looking but well-preserved Japanese folding fan, and at the same time talked to Kong Zhang about the current situation on Luzon Island and his general assumptions, and said: "Now I plan to take two measures. The first is the means of stirring up internal contradictions among the indigenous people, which I mentioned with you earlier. But that's just a trick-trick. To be honest, a small means like this can't be committed by working for Brother Bangui, and the younger brother is looking for Brother Bangui to come back, and there are more important things entrusted to Brother Bangui. Brother Bangui, you also know that since ancient times, although these small tricks have been effective, they cannot solve the problem fundamentally. To solve the problem fundamentally, either we will kill them all, or we will learn from the three generations, and we must rely on education to turn them into summer. This is the solution to the root cause. The former method is too laborious and time-consuming, and too violent to be taught by saints. So the only way is to carry out indoctrination and turn razing into summer. ”

Kong Zhang nodded, the teaching of three generations, turning raze into summer and something like that, Zheng Sen, Gu Jiang and others had seriously discussed it before. The results of their discussion were also carefully studied by Kong Zhang. So he naturally knew what Zheng Sen said about the rule of three generations and the transformation of razing into Xia.

"Turning razor into summer is a good thing, but it is also a fundamental solution to the problem." Kong Zhang nodded and said, "It's just that how to turn razing into summer is not easy." For example, those natives in my southwest, such as the two families of Lu'an, have been influenced by China for thousands of years, and they are still barbarians. Moreover, since ancient times, although it has been the right way to do the king's way, it is not easy to do it. I don't know if Damu can teach me. ”

"Brother Bangui remembers that someone asked Mozi how to increase the number of benevolent and righteous sages in the country. How did Mozi answer? Zheng Sen asked with a smile.

Although Kong Zhang was a Confucian scholar, Mozi had also read it, and after listening to this question, he replied after a little thought: "'It is the ancient sage king's government, and he said: "Unrighteousness is not rich, injustice is not expensive, injustice is not close, and injustice is not close." "'Ohki, that's what you're talking about?'"

"Not bad." Zheng Sen unfolded the folding fan in his hand at once, and said with a smile, "Brother Bangui, do you understand what you mean?" Kong Zhang's eyes were sharp, but he saw a poem written on the folding fan at a glance, and faintly only saw the last sentence clearly, saying: "Foolish people are called original people." ”

"I understand what you mean, but you want to use benefits to buy them, as long as you are willing to be a Chinese person, you will give them benefits?" Kong Zhang replied.

Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "Brother Bangui is still wrong. First, it's not about buying, it's about guiding. Second, not to give them benefits, but to give them fish. Brother Bangui, do you think, if we give them benefits, how much benefit can we give them? 'The small favor is not lost, and the people are obedient', and the benefits may last, if not, they will be resentful in the future. And the treacherous people are afraid that they will act like they are willing to learn, and on the other hand, they will always leave a line and refuse to really belong, so as to constantly cheat the benefits. Brother Bangui, you also know that the barbarian people of Luzon have a difficult life, far more than the Chinese. For example, we stipulate that 'the Chinese cannot be slaves', 'the Chinese can obtain land from the government', 'the Chinese do not pay taxes', and 'the Chinese have the protection of the government'. In our case, we can turn it into 'if you don't enter China, you won't be rich, and if you don't enter China, you're not expensive.'" And then we give them another way to become Chinese, and then we have to worry that they don't want to be indoctrinated? ”

In fact, Zheng Sen's idea is not out of his mind, but is based on various historical experiences. For example, the great Queen Isabella I of Spain used such discriminatory means to wash back the faith that had been washed by the Arabs. And now they are jumping around the building, they also rely on discrimination against others outside the Eight Banners, so as to create a new nation. Even Hitler made an "honorary Aryan".

"So what do they have to do to be Chinese?" Kong Zhang asked again.

"Of course it can't be too easy, otherwise, they won't cherish it." Zheng Sen replied, "For example, we can allow them to join the Chinese through such ways: scientific research, military service, marriage. We set up a Chinese qualification examination, divided into several levels, the first level is called the primary preparatory Chinese, the second level is called the intermediate preparatory Chinese, and then the senior preparatory Chinese, given the same Chinese background, given the Chinese background. In addition, if you pass the primary examination, you are eligible to join the Chinese militia and serve in the army, and when you are in the army, all the treatment in the barracks is the same as that of the Chinese, and at the end of the service, even if you take one more level. If there is a major meritorious service, you can directly obtain the status of giving the same Chinese origin or even giving the Chinese background. As for marriage, if a Chinese marries a native girl, the native girl is regarded as giving a Chinese background, and if she can pass the examination, she is regarded as giving a Chinese background. I am very depressed in China, even if there is no inducement from us, it can attract people to learn. For example, if you look at the Japanese fan in my hand, there are not many Han people who can do the calligraphy and poetry on it. This shows the attraction of Chinese Wende education itself, coupled with our means, it is naturally more and more attractive. In short, we want everyone to envy the Chinese and be proud to be Chinese, or even prepare for Chinese. As for the specific measures, we will discuss them together when we arrive in Luzon. ”

"Well," Kong Zhang nodded, and said, "Da Mu, you just got married, but you are going to go overseas, but you don't stay at home for a few more days?" ”

Zheng Sen smiled and said, "It's a big deal." ”

He patted the fan on the palm of his hand again and said, "The most important thing to do this time is to make a model in Luzon." It can also be rolled out elsewhere in the future. ”

"It's just that those natives really don't look like Chinese." Kong Zhang shook his head again and said, "All of them are short and dark, and they look stupid at first glance." If you really become Chinese...... It's ......."

Zheng Sen heard this, but laughed and said: "If you want to say ugly, there are no ugly monsters among the Han people?" Isn't there anything short and dark? As for being stupid, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people were also considered barbarians. You look at the fable of the hundred schools of thought, and the people who do stupid things in it are either from Chu or Song. At that time, when the people of Huaxia talked about the people of Chu, most of them thought they were stupid. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, it is estimated that this is more and more so. But in the Warring States Period, the Chu people had three Lu doctors, Wencai. Essence, who else can say that the Chu people are not Huaxia? And even if the natives of Luzon are all congenitally stupid, those who can pass our assessment are definitely not stupid, what are you worried about? And the smart ones among these people are constantly being pumped into us, and the rest of them are easy to deal with, aren't they? Well, Brother Bangui, do you still have any doubts? ”

"Not yet." Kong Zhang shook his head, and suddenly said, "Also, show me your fan!" ”

Zheng Sen smiled and handed over the fan, Kong Zhang opened it and looked at it carefully, and said, "Poetry and calligraphy are indeed extraordinary. This was written by the Japanese? ”

Zheng Sen nodded and smiled: "But it was written two hundred years ago by a prince who became a monk in Japan. It's been 200 years, and it's not easy to preserve it like this. Speaking of which, this master is still a flower monk who does not abide by the rules. ”
