For Zhu Youxiao's proposal, the Dutch were excited, the Dutch and the Spaniards have been fighting for decades, the Dutch gradually occupy the advantage of the sea, but on land, the Dutch are still at a disadvantage, if there are tens of thousands of troops in the Ming Dynasty, this is a rare opportunity for the Dutch to turn the tables.

"Your Majesty, I will immediately send someone to Spain to consult with His Majesty Philip IV." Long Huamin said anxiously. There was a conflict between the Catholic Church represented by Long Huamin in the Empire, while the Dutch were Protestant.

"I'll wait for your news." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Long Huamin bowed down and said.

……

Regarding how to deal with the Philippines, Zhu Youxiao summoned Zhu Youzhen again before discussing with the cabinet.

"Brother Emperor, Luzon is about to be annexed to the Imperial territory, and I am currently short of a Governor of Luzon, I wonder if you are interested in becoming the Governor of Luzon? Rest assured, I will definitely consider your wishes, and if you don't, I will never have a grudge. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Brother Huang, the minister's wedding is imminent, and the minister is allowed to think about one or two." Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and replied.

"It's okay, you think about it first, and give me an answer after you get married." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

"No." Zhu Youzhen nodded.

"Your wedding is coming, and there are still many things to do, so you should retire first." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The minister retired."

After watching Zhu Youzhen leave, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What has King Xin been busy with lately?" ”

"I believe that the prince stays in the palace every day without leaving the house." Wang Liqian replied lightly.

"King Shin has already been wrong once, and I really don't want him to be wrong a second time." Zhu Youxiao said softly. The original Zhu Youxiao still has deep feelings for Zhu Youzhen, which makes the current Zhu Youzhen also have deep feelings for Zhu Youzhen.

"The minister will keep an eye on it." Wang Liqian said.

……

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao went directly to Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the girls' school has been almost prepared, and it will definitely be able to open before September 1." Zhang Yan said.

"Have you found all the teachers?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"When I found it, I have also found teachers for piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, and etiquette." Zhang Yan said.

"It seems like too much to learn." As soon as Zhu Youxiao heard that the girls' school was going to teach so many things, he became dizzy.

"Only in this way will the ministers of the imperial court be willing to send the women of their families to study." Zhang Yan said.

"I think that the primary education of the girls' school is mainly to learn Chinese studies and mathematics, and there are two classes for each course every five days, and two days off after five days." Zhu Youxiao decided to follow the model of Xinxiang School.

"Hmm." Zhang Yan nodded.

"Where's Zhang Yan?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Take a walk in the palace garden." Zhang Yan said.

"Although walking while pregnant is good for childbirth, you can't get too tired." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The concubine will be staring." Zhang Yan nodded.

……

At the end of May, Zhu Youxiao finally waited for the news of Manila's victory.

As soon as he received the news, Zhu Youxiao immediately issued an order: "Except for the Spaniards who were escorted to Beijing, all the remaining Spanish men who stayed in Manila were beheaded to commemorate the souls of Manila in the 31st year of Wanli, and the remaining Spanish women were disposed of by Wang Mengxiong himself." Many of the inhabitants of Manila had been accomplices and could not be spared, so I decided to build a road through the whole of Luzon as a way for them to forgive their sins. ”

"No."

Then Zhu Youxiao found Feng Menglong and asked him to hype up Luzon in the "Ming Imperial Daily" and encourage the people to emigrate to Luzon. Zhu Youxiao hoped that in the next 10 to 15 years, the Han Chinese in Luzon would have an absolute population advantage.

After meeting Feng Menglong, it was time to discuss with the cabinet how to deal with the Philippines.

"I have decided to set up a Luzon Envoy in Luzon, and the city of Manila will be renamed Luzon City, and the scope of the Luzon Domain will include Luzon and Mindanao and the surrounding islands." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, who is better to hold the post of governor of the Luzon domain?" Han Yi asked. Now the cabinet is accustomed to Zhu Youxiao's expansion of territory, and he doesn't like to dispute with Zhu Youxiao on this matter, not to mention that the Luzon incident has already happened, and there is no point in fighting again.

"The appointment and dismissal of officials is the responsibility of the cabinet, and I am only responsible for the selection of governors of Luzon and the army." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No, the ministry will draw up a list as soon as possible." Han Yi said.

"Luzon's location is extremely important, it is related to the plan to colonize Leng Zhou, and the selection of candidates is very important, and we must not be blind." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Ministers understand."

"Your Majesty, who is the Governor of Luzon now?" Li Qiyuan asked.

"It's undecided yet, but I'm considering the right candidate. I will select a man from the royal family to serve as governor. Who did the Metropolitan Governor's Office think was more suitable to serve as the Admiral of the Second Army of the Luzon Expedition? Zhu Youxiao said.

"The situation in Luzon is different from the original vassals of the empire, Luzon is a newly established land, has not been kingized, the people's hearts are unstable, and it is more difficult to govern than other vassals, and it is also different from the Burmese and Laotian domains, which are close to the empire, and if there is something going on in Burma and Laos, the army of the Yunnan domain can reach it in a few days, while Luzon is far away, and the middle is across the sea from China, and it is even different from Leng Zhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, and needs only people." British Minister Zhang Weixian said.

"What do you mean......" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The minister thinks that it is most appropriate to send a man who can be civil and martial as a commander." Zhang Weixian suggested.

"Is there a suitable candidate?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The minister thinks that Yang He, the right attendant of the military department, is the most suitable." Xiong Tingbi thought for a while and said.

"According to the requirements of the British public, Yang He will definitely not be able to, Hong Chengchou can do it." Zhang Weixian mentioned Yang He, and Zhu Youxiao thought of Hong Chengchou, although Hong Chengchou was a traitor in history, his talent still cannot be erased.

"Shaanxi Governor Senator Hong Chengchou?" Han Yi asked.

"Yes, this is the person, immediately send an order to let Hong Chengchou take over the 10,000 expeditionary force in Li Zicheng's hands, and then enter Beijing, and Li Zicheng will recruit 10,000 new troops in Shaanxi again." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, the new fish scale atlas has been produced, and this year's summer grain can be taxed according to the new atlas." Guo Yunhou said.

"The production of the Fish Scale Atlas is very important, have you ever reviewed it?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The production time of the new fish scale atlas is limited, and it is too late to review it for the time being." Guo Yunhou replied.

"The decree is to order the Inspectorate to review the fish scale atlas, and all provinces must conduct spot checks, and if there is any falsehood, personnel can be organized to strictly investigate." Zhu Youxiao made an order.
