The bloodbath that occurred on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, although it brought some gloom to the New Year. But for many Chinese living in Nanyang, they feel that they see hope. There are really people who dare to use such iron-blooded means against these natives.

When the news reached Manila, there were also protests from indigenous officials against the consuls. It wasn't long before the testimony of several rebel leaders and witnesses escorted from Davao left the indigenous officials silent.

On the contrary, seeing that Zhao Tiehu was working so hard to fight the rebels, Governor Joseph also said with certainty: "Regarding what happened in Davao, I don't think there is any problem with what the town guard Chen did.

Our Government must resolutely crack down on those who engage in acts of destruction. Only in this way can we prosper and develop the economy of Mindanao. In this matter, Chen, as a town watchman, just did what he was supposed to do. ”

Even Joseph also felt that Zhao Tiehu's murderous intent was so heavy after learning the news. But he knew very well that compared with the indigenous people, these colonists, like Zhao Tiehu, belonged to the outsiders of the Philippines.

At present, Zhao Tiehu will act as the clean-up, and the colonized people will act as the rulers, which can also alleviate the opposition of the indigenous people to the colonial government, and also help them expand their control over the various areas in the Philippines.

Most importantly, this incident will also be an effective deterrent to armed rebels who are trying to rebel against the colonial government. With so many benefits, how could Joseph punish Zhao Tiehu?

After all, what Zhao Tiehu did was not indiscriminately killing innocents. On the contrary, all these things that Zhao Tiehu did have a basis. As a town guard, suppressing the rebel forces in the territory is one of his responsibilities in itself!

Manila did not criticize, but fully affirmed Zhao Tiehu's achievements in Davao. The spread of this news undoubtedly made many Chinese families in Nanyang also begin to be interested in Zhao Tiehu.

The Chinese factory owners, who had been watching from the sidelines earlier, also began to send people to contact DaWo to discuss many matters such as opening factories. Some business owners even come to Davao in person to see what this new Nanyang Chinese town looks like.

Compared with these well-known Chinese business leaders, most of them wait and see before acting. Zhao Tiehu, however, took the wolf-nosed intelligence officer as the backbone and began to recruit a large number of Chinese workers in various places where Chinese gathered in Nanyang.

As long as the Chinese who are willing to go to Davao to work, and the families of workers with certain skills, if they move to Davao, they can also get some land. Davao has also promised that the reclaimed wasteland will be exempt from tax to a certain extent.

This is undoubtedly very attractive to many Chinese immigrants. In addition, some Chinese who went to Davao to work earlier successively brought their families living in other places to Davao after the Chinese New Year, and many Chinese people who were watching followed one after another.

Looking at the Chinese who continued to pour into Davao Town after the New Year, many of them dragged their families with their families, Zhao Tiehu naturally felt very happy. Began to open up one after another migrant villages in the mountains to accept the Chinese people who continued to pour into the town.

The influx of a large number of Chinese has undoubtedly further accelerated the construction of the town. Whether it is the infrastructure construction of the town or the planned construction of the industrial zone, many people in the town feel what it means to change every day.

Earlier, some Chinese business leaders who were not very optimistic about the development of Davao Town naturally did not look at it when they saw the town so rapidly and violently. With the investment of these Chinese business leaders, the gold content of the town is also increasing.

It's just that Zhao Tiehu didn't care too much about all this. He knew very well that as long as the Chinese in Nanyang knew that there was such a place, they would not have to worry about the bullying of the aborigines or other foreigners, and those Chinese would migrate over.

Even though Mindanao looks barren at present, for many Chinese who came to Nanyang in the early years, the place where they worked in the early years was even more desolate than the current Mindanao. But in the end, aren't they all developing rapidly?

The affairs of the town were arranged to be responsible for the town planning office that was formed, and the focus of Zhao Tiehu's work was on the formation of the mountain base camp. After all, this is the core of the real future Chinese security.

Looking at the location of the indigenous tribes cleared by the wolf warrior team, Zhao Tiehu looked at the mountain in the distance and said: "Big head, this is not far from here, our base camp still has to go inside, and the foot army will be at least three to five days away from the town."

Also, consider that there is a waterway to get there. As for this indigenous tribe, it could be used as a future settlement, but it is not suitable for our base camp. If there is a waterway, it will also be easier for us to transport supplies and move.

If the distance is too close, once the little devils attack Davao in the future, they will inevitably launch a large army to encircle and clear the place where we are. If we get too close to the town, we will have a hard time defending it.

On the contrary, if we have enough reserved positions, we can ensure that even if the little devils capture the town in the future, they will not be able to easily catch us hidden in the mountains. Once in the mountains, it is not them who have the advantage, but us. ”

In Zhao Tiehu's view, the area where the indigenous tribes are currently active is actually not too deep into the island jungle. In the future, he wants to shelter more Chinese who have migrated here, which means that he hopes to provide more shelter for Chinese people in the mountains.

If there is not enough to use as a guerrilla field, how can they fight the Japanese army around this island? After all, after the little devils occupy the Philippe at that time, they will need to deal with the little devils for at least a long time.

Even according to Zhao Tiehu's plan, the materials he stored in the mountains needed to support the Chinese in the mountains for at least half a year to a year. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the Chinese anti-war forces who retreated into the mountains.

And Zhao Tiehu also believes that as long as the little devils feel that the investment in Mindanao is not proportional to the benefits, I believe that the little devils will not be too entangled in eliminating the guerrilla forces that have retreated into the mountains.

After all, if the little devils occupy the Philippine Philippines, the most important place should be the relatively well-developed Manila area. If it was to clear out the rebels hiding on the island, but they suffered heavy losses, the little devil would also choose to give up.

In addition, in the future, the little devil will need to be responsible for the battle on multiple fronts, and it is impossible to invest too many troops for an island that does not have much economic value. The most important thing is that the Americans, who believe that they have declared war with the little devils, will not let the little devils go easily.

If the Chinese anti-Japanese forces led by Zhao Tiehu can successfully stay in Mindanao, I believe that the Americans will also be very willing to provide help to his anti-Japanese forces within their capabilities. When the time comes, it will also be easier to get support from the US military.

In short, as Zhao Tiehu chose the place where the base camp would eventually be established, a group of specially selected workers and the people began to carry supplies into the mountains. Of course, the external excuse is that these people go to the mountains to mine gold.

Around the town of Davao, Zhao Tiehu also began to choose some suitable places to build shelters to establish safety points. The arrival of a large number of Chinese immigrants has also continued to occupy the living areas of some indigenous tribes in Mindanao.

Fortunately, although the number of indigenous people in Mindanao is quite large, if it is divided into a large island of Mindanao, it seems to be very scattered. As long as it does not endanger the safety of the migrant village, Zhao Tiehu, an indigenous tribe that is too far away, will not be cleared up too much.

In fact, with Zhao Tiehu's Chinese New Year's Eve clean-up operation, those indigenous tribes living near Davao, for fear of Zhao Tiehu's reprisals, eventually chose to relocate farther away from Davao.

And a large number of immigrants moved into the mountains, so that some colonial officials who came to inspect the town also felt that although the town was very developed, it did not exceed their psychological tolerance. On the contrary, these colonial officials felt very good.

Even if the tax exemption policy given to the town will make them lose some profits. But Joseph and others all know that after the factories and population here increase, the follow-up tax is what they value.

Even the colonial government officials who thought that Governor Joseph was too indulgent to Zhao Tiehu knew that Joseph was doing the right thing. In a few years, this town will also become another important source of tax revenue for the US military in the Philippines.

Even as Mindanao continues to develop, the corresponding benefits will be even more. As for the concern of some officials that the increasing number of Chinese gathered here will pose a threat, many officials feel that it is unlikely.

Taking advantage of these opportunities, Zhao Tiehu also began to establish some military restricted areas near the town of Davao that were forbidden to ordinary people. In addition, some machinery purchased from the United States was also shipped to a secret factory in the mountains.

Some recruited miners also began to mine ore in Mindanao. As the second largest island in the Philippines, although it may seem unexplored, the island has a lot of mineral deposits.

According to feedback from prospectors, there are also gold mines in Mindanao. Gold mining has also become a major source of income for Zhao Tiehu to accumulate funds. The mining of iron ore and coal can also reduce deforestation to a certain extent.

Seeing that Davao's work was on the right track, Zhao Tiehu also felt that he should go out for a walk. He is not a person who is good at management, so most of the things about management planning are left to Chinese people with relevant talents.

And Zhao Tiehu's definition of himself is the head of the armed forces. The number of recruits currently being trained in Davao is also increasing. The number of town guards and village guards is also increasing.

But I really want to ensure that the war breaks out in the future, so that the Chinese in Nanyang can be saved from the scourge of war as much as possible. Zhao Tiehu also needs to establish corresponding Chinese shelters in other parts of Nanyang. After all, there is no room for too many Chinese in one Mindanao.

Zhao Tiehu, who had this idea, took a group of guards and handed over the affairs of the town to Li Hao to take charge of. He also took Chen Wan and began to set off to other places in Nanyang to contact Chinese families and establish intelligence and combat readiness bases.

For this tour, it was also the beginning of Zhao Tiehu's establishment of his influence in Nanyang. After the outbreak of the war, Zhao Tiehu believed that his influence in Nanyang would really be maximized, and it would be easier for him to implement his plans in the future!
