Luzon has been formally incorporated into the territory of Chen Ming, and it is now the province of Luzon in China.

It's like Borneo not far from it.

It's all natural and natural.

Today, the total population of Luzon (including Mindanao) is as high as 4 million, and the Chinese make up a large proportion of it, and if you count the mestizos of Chinese ancestry, this number has reached 35% of the total population of Luzon.

At least half of the millions of Chinese and mixed-race children with Chinese blood in their blood lived in the former Greater Manila region, which is now Hanzhou.

The time when the Chinese were active in Nanyang can be traced back to the Tang and Song dynasties, which has a history of thousands of years, and reached a peak in the early Ming Dynasty, but the Chinese declined in Nanyang in the middle and late Zhu Ming Dynasty. This decline has been in decline until now, and it has been in decline for two or three hundred years.

Chen Han's capture of Luzon was of indescribable significance to the survival and development of the Chinese in Nanyang, so Chen Ming finally named Manila after changing the name of Manila twice.

At present, the situation of the Chinese in Luzon is like the situation of the whole South Seas [minus the East Indies], and the specific subtleties are still not in the grasp, but the presence of the Chinese, the grouping and centralized settlement of the Chinese, crushing the demographic advantage of the local natives in the region, and cooperating with the strong deterrent Wehrmacht and garrison forces have indeed made the establishment of the rule of the Wehrmacht much easier.

The Chinese gathering places, the cities that have risen from the ground, they form a big net, they themselves are the nodes of that big net, and then they cover the whole Luzon.

The Wehrmacht expelled the local whites, and large tracts of plantations and land were transferred to the hands of Chinese businessmen at an absolutely low price, and Chen Han used this transaction to obtain a large amount of money to subsidize military and government expenditures, and also obtained more support from the local Chinese, and introduced some of the local funds from Lingnan to Nanyang.

However, the indigenous people, who occupy the absolute numerical advantage of the population, are still a big trouble for Chen Han.

The 'sinicization' of Nanyang not only involves race, but also faith.

Moreover, after two or three hundred years of evolution of Westerners dominating the 'world', the natives of Luzon and the natives of the entire Nanyang can kneel and lick the white pig's skin without shame, but they have always held a kind of hostility and resistance to the Chinese and China.

Thinking about the anti-Chinese expulsion set off by the natives of Southeast Asian countries in later generations, if it were not really difficult to exterminate all the natives, it would be time-consuming and the consequences would be very serious, Chen Ming had the heart to order the security team and the standing team to kill all the Nanyang monkeys.

The war in North America was still raging, Chen Ming did not receive new information, this month was the period of interruption of communication between the East and the West, and then Chen Ming was required to come to this conclusion, he only needed to see the progress of the war in India.

The British mobilized their Indians to march to the front in droves, and then Lieutenant General Al Cooley, with the strong support of Governor Warren Hastings, led his army to resist the offensive of Haider Ali in northwestern Bengal; On the other side, the same Viceroy of British India, Warren Hastings, broke through the entangled obstruction of his colleagues and took the strongest measures to restore the reputation of the East India Company - he sent a powerful army from Bengal across the whole of Central India, and successively captured Ahmedabad and Bassein of the Marathas, but the British army was defeated when attacking Pune, the political center of the Maratha Kingdom, and was forced to retreat. But the British, who fought on multiple fronts, restored the trust of their supporters in the Kingdom of Great Britain with their toughness. In order to maintain the huge military spending, Warren Hastings used heavy-handed tactics to increase the tax revenue in Bengal, drain the blood and sweat of the people, and shamelessly told his colleagues: "Although there are starvation deaths, tax revenues still increase." He even plundered the Indian princes who were attached to the British East India Company.

But at this time in Nanyang, a large wave of Chinese immigrants was still migrating. The population rate of migration from Fujian and Guangxi has not slowed down, and there is no way, and the local governments are pressuring it.

Now the imperial court pays attention to a 'per capita', per capita grain production, and per capita gross income, so the magistrates have no mercy on those poor ghosts below the average line.

Among them, the number of Cantonese people is slowly surpassed by Fujian and Guangxi, no way, although Guangxi is also poor, but the land is sparsely populated, unlike Fujian, there is no land for farming.

Moreover, the people of Fujian already have many relatives in Nanyang, so they have psychological comfort, poverty and the attraction of land, which makes them belong to a group with strong initiative to migrate. The Chinese have no resistance to land, especially the poor. A large number of people below the 'level line' chose to leave their hometowns for a few acres of land and drifted away to the South Seas.

On the twentieth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chengtian, it rained heavily.

The migrant ship has been gone for several days. Thousands of new Fujian immigrants are already busy. The place, which was named Ba Island, has an original name with a native sound, called Palawan. It is not small in size, but very few people live on this island. In the 21st century, when science and technology were developed, this island was also known as the "Modern Garden of Eden", "the last pure land of the Philippines", "undeveloped virgin land", and "paradise for wild animals and plants". You can imagine how barren this place is in this era.

There are many small islands around Koh Ba, and the Chinese immigrants who landed here are mainly based on the plains along the southeast coast, and the tens of thousands of Bata, Palawan and Tabanuas who originally lived on them have all been swept away, leaving only a few remnants to hide in the complex mountain rainforests of Palawan.

Located between the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea, the island is elongated and narrow, diagonally from northeast to southwest. The area is one-third of a bay the size, but the widest point is only 80 li, and the main mountain range is 900 li long. Chen Ming didn't know that this long and narrow island was originally a land bridge connecting Borneo during the Pleistocene (1.6 million ~ 10,000 years ago), and then the sea rose and annihilated many places, leaving behind the islands of Ba Island, which are now dotted with islands. The flora and fauna on it are closer to Borneo than the other islands of the Philippines. Palawan's long, irregular coastline is also home to coral reefs and an untold number of small offshore islands.

The arrival of the Chinese crushed the natives here, and the natives and Spaniards themselves built several small towns along the coast, but now there are no more whites and indigenous monkeys here, unless they are labor prisoners.

Chinese immigrants poured in. Puerto Princesa in the east-central part of the island, once a place of exile by the Spaniards, has become the capital of Bazhou established by China. Due to natural geographical factors, the port of Singu, which was renamed from Puerto Princesa, has an excellent geographical location, and there are quite a few ships coming and going.

Migrant ships come here every now and then, bringing batches of immigrants to Ba Island.

Chen Ding's ship back to Nanjing docked at an unnamed port not far from the port of NWBA, a port that had just been restored, and the humble town on the shore was being rebuilt.

Now the port town, now renamed Bucktown, is home to thousands of immigrants from Fujian, and the small dockyard and repair shop abandoned by the Spanish expulsion have reopened and are expanding. The 'façade' of the port has been greatly changed, and the Chinese immigrants who are not accustomed to European architecture and style are actively exerting their craftsmanship and imagination to correct the appearance of the oriental direction they are accustomed to without destroying the overall solidity of the house.

And it's the dry season in Luzon, which is the most important time for migrants to work after they land.

Every day, there are hard-working figures who are cultivating the land, repairing houses, and fishing and catching shrimp. Every one of them is busy, even women and children, who are contributing to their new lives.

In addition to the expansion of the port and the construction of the lighthouse, the lumber mill and the brick kiln factory outside the town have also been erected. There was no shortage of limestone here, but the method of making the clay cement was still kept secret, and the latter could not set up a factory in a town with only a thousand people, which had to be brought in from outside, so the expansion of the dock warehouse could not be stopped.

It's the dry season, but who knows when a heavy rain will come again.

After cultivating for a short time, these immigrants from Fujian have now begun to be organized to do some work within their means. They work on construction sites during the day, and at night they are taught some Chinese pronunciation, and in all immigration areas, the Chinese language will be based on the Chinese pronunciation as the standard Chen Han version of Mandarin. Nanjing's official dialect is broken!

And what Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese or something, you can wash and rest. The content is mainly about hygiene, precautions for tropical life, and government regulations.

Such a group study life may accompany them for a maximum of several months or even a year, until the settlement is completely able to meet the requirements of the government and can operate on its own. This small town, which is only a town on a political level, can put an end to such a life. And the teachers who are responsible for teaching and mentoring them are the government personnel of the town government and the port gate, as well as the teachers of the future town school.

Nanyang immigration is not only a great migration and expansion of the Chinese people, but also a great standardization and rectification.

The implementation of the official dialect and the promotion of the correct pronunciation of the Chinese language is a very important premise.

Chen Ding's treasure ship docked at the dock, not because of a lack of food and water, but because it was raining and there was a strong wind.

Chen Ding, surrounded by guards, walked unhurriedly in a brick factory. It was almost noon, but it had been raining for a day and a night, and there was no sign of stopping, so there was no doubt that another storm would break off at sea.

But this did not solve the problem of this factory with bricks, which was a large warehouse before, and the warehouse built by the Spaniards stored a certain amount of grain and materials, which was originally built on higher ground, and the surrounding drainage facilities were also readily available, so there was no need to worry about the factory being soaked and collapsed by rainwater, and there was no need to worry about the bricks inside being soaked in water.

The factory is a masonry structure, with some load-bearing walls or pillars made of large stones, and the roof is covered with tarpaulin and thatch. There are also many small windows on the surrounding walls for ventilation. The heavy rain outside did not hinder the work of the brick kiln.

The bean-sized raindrops crackled against the glass window, and the sound was so loud that it felt like it was about to break the glass. Lime is sprinkled in many parts of the factory to absorb moisture from the air. The rainy season is so nasty, the air is extremely humid, and it is not good for the ironwood structure of the power conveyor.

The whole kiln factory did not occupy many immigrants, and there were about 50 people at full capacity, and this was connected to the convoy of bricks. The bricks that can be produced are supplied to the whole town.

This is a must for every settlement, and unlike the original wooden houses and stilt buildings, large-scale Chinese immigrants prefer brick houses, even if they are mud houses that have not been burned by fire.

Chen Ding couldn't see whether the construction of this settlement was reasonable, he only observed the expressions of the people here. The emotions revealed by the appearance of immigrants are the truest expression of their current life and expectations.

This immigration site has just entered operation, and the mood of the immigrants is not bad.

At least the atmosphere in this factory is not frozen and gloomy, and the inconvenience caused by heavy rain and wind certainly distresses many immigrants, but it is clear that they are still full of confidence in the future.

A lot of quicklime sprinkled in various corners is reacted by moisture. The air was so humid that even the walls inside the factory were so wet that they were misty. But the dark clouds in the sky still have no intention of dissipating.

Chen Ding never felt that he was a timid person, and when he didn't dare to set sail in this weather, in case he was unlucky enough to encounter a storm and the treasure ship sank, he wouldn't die.

In this era, the possibility of an accident on a ship and ocean is much higher than the possibility of an accident in a horse-drawn carriage, and it is too dangerous.

Chen Ding still remembers the worry on his mother's face when he was about to leave Nanjing.

Seven or eight miles away from this kiln, near the coconut grove, a small village of thirty households and one or two hundred people appeared there from nothing in the past few days. The brick kilns had not yet been built, and the houses where the migrants lived were simple straw huts, but now there were several large tents connected together, supported by heavy rain and wind.

All the people are crammed under these tents, even if the tents are large, the taste of one or two hundred people piled together is unforgettable for the immigrants, even when they came to Ba Island by boat, they did not suffer so much.

The small village here is one of the five agricultural villages in Buck Town, in addition to taking care of the coconut groves, picking coconut kernels, and cultivating is another important task for them, each family is allocated land, in terms of four to six people per capita, that is, there are 20 to 30 acres of land, the whole village has thousands of acres of land, plus each person rents an additional 10 acres of land, as long as the cultivation is done properly, if the harvest is abundant, the grain production of only one village here is enough for the whole town residents to eat all year round.

The common people are the most practical, they may not understand the great defense of Huayi, do not understand the loyalty and patriotism, but absolutely understand the consequences of not being able to eat. Know who feeds you, wears warm clothes, has a house to live in, has a field to cultivate, and who gives yourself hope.

The authority and rule of the government is very strong and deep among the immigrants. These immigrants to Nanyang are in a completely unfamiliar place, and the only person they can rely on and trust is the imperial court. Engaging in immigration has made the common people more dependent on the government and trusting the imperial court, which can be said to be an additional benefit made by Chen Han in immigration, which is an unexpected joy.

The wind and rain stopped, and the sun regained the sky. Chen Ding left this inconspicuous town, and the big ship docked on the dock disappeared into the blue sea in the early morning, facing the sun that had just appeared.

He came softly and walked gently. It didn't make the slightest change to Bucktown, and he watched like a calm bystander how the immigrants were struggling through the storm. He did not leave behind food and wine, nor did he let the immigrants who had been tortured by the wind and rain board the treasure ship he was on.

Chen Ding's appearance is like a cloud, which cannot bring any difference to Buck Town. Everything in the future needs to be done by the immigrants of Bucktown to start a new life in the future!
