Chapter 309: Bandits in Southeast Asia

The Intramuros of Manila, which was renovated to become the new residence of the Chinese emperor in Luzon, marked the beginning of Chinese rule.

However, the state of Luzon, which had been established for a few months, did not want to be as peaceful as it appeared to be, and the colonial army and the Filipino servant army, which originally belonged to Spain, as well as the revolutionary army in various parts of the Philippines, now seem to have united with the Spanish army and are ready to fight together against the Chinese Shence army.

This result has long been expected by Li Weiguo, and he has been mentally prepared for this since he planned to annex the Philippines.

This time, he came to Manila to inspect in person, in addition to preparing to build Luzon into China's orchard and rubber production base, and then to control and pacify the overseas Chinese class in Nanyang.

Of course, in Li Weiguo's heart, there is another ulterior secret, that is, revenge on the natives of Nanyang.

In his previous life, Li Weiguo did not have this ability, and he could only complain when he watched overseas Chinese being slaughtered and bullied, and in the era of human rights civilization, it was impossible for the government to send troops to intimidate, at most diplomatic protests.

But now it is different, first, Li Weiguo has a powerful ******** machine in his hands, and second, it is now the seventies of the nineteenth century, and the so-called human rights and civilization are just violence and trampling on the law of the jungle, and justice is just a fig leaf under the cannon.

Therefore, in this era, Li Weiguo can do whatever he wants, as long as he has the force to shut up the whole world, then no one cares what he has done, just like the Americans slaughtered the Indians, no one will accuse the Americans of being wrong, not even mentioning it.

With this premise, Li Weiguo is naturally about to fulfill his heart's wish.

The natives of Southeast Asia are all mobs and bandits, and he Li Weiguo came to "suppress bandits" this time.

They were accompanied by the Chinese Navy's Southern Ocean Fleet and Qizhou Ocean Fleet, as well as the Third and Fourth Towns of the Marine Corps. There are also the 48th, 51st, 52nd, 53rd, and 54th towns of the overseas theater of the Chinese Shence Army, with a total strength of more than 87,000 people.

Among them, the 48th town should be legally stationed in Siam (Thailand), but Siam has not given up the right to diplomacy and military war until now, so the Chinese army is not allowed to be stationed. The fifty-first town was legally supposed to be stationed in the three kingdoms of Gurkha, Je Mengxiong, and Bhutan in South Asia, but these three countries were actually controlled by the British and Indian armies, and could not be passed for the time being. The fifty-second, fifty-third, and fifty-fourth towns were legally supposed to be stationed in the Western Regions of Kokand, Kazakh, Burut, Bukhar, Shanke, Aiwuhan, and other Western Regions, but they were also secretly controlled by the British and Tsarist Russian troops.

The army of these five towns has always been under the jurisdiction of the overseas theater of operations, but the overseas theater is stationed in Alaska, which is a bitter cold place. Generally, there is no national reason to invade there, so the possibility of war breaking out is extremely low, and these five towns are stationed in the country in peacetime, and the military departments of the major theaters are not very willing, so this time Li Weiguo directly brought them to Nanyang, let them see the blood, clean up the natives of Nanyang, and truly become the elite soldiers in the Chinese Shence Army.

If we include the 50th Army Town, which had previously gone south to protect overseas Chinese, the total strength of the Chinese army in Southeast Asia has exceeded 100,000. However, at this time, the fiftieth town had been moved to Pontianak in Lan Fang Prefecture. It was the legal garrison of the Fifty Townships, so it was not in Luzon.

Li Weiguo's name was Southern Tour, but he mobilized a large army into Luzon, which immediately made the countries of the world smell the gunpowder of war. However, the international community basically believes that the Chinese Shence Army is here to suppress the remaining Spanish troops and the local Philippine Revolutionary Army in the Philippines. But he would never have guessed that Li Weiguo was still here to "suppress bandits".

However, the 500,000 overseas Chinese in Luzon were happy, and more than 87,000 Chinese troops were added to the navy. Approaching 100,000 troops, this is very reassuring.

No way, the Chinese living in Nanyang. Life is cheaper than a dog, no wonder they have this thought.

Along the way, the army opened the way, and the idle people retreated, and Li Weiguo arrived at the Royal Palace of Manila in a warm welcome atmosphere, and received a pilgrimage and audience from the overseas Chinese delegation from Luzon.

"There are 70 Chinese surnames in Luzon, the largest of which is Chen, who is originally from Fujian Province and has deep roots in Manila and has a big say. The most noble surname is Gong, which is a descendant of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid the pursuit of lackeys such as the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui, and was forced to change its name to the Gong family, until the recent fall of the Manchu Dynasty, the Gong family did not restore the surname Zhu, but the people here are used to it for hundreds of years, and they are also called Gong. As for other surnames, they are more ordinary. ”

Cheng Kun, director of the China S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, came to Manila with Li Weiguo, and through the Manila intelligence station, he mastered the detailed information and reported and explained to Li Weiguo one by one.

"Your Majesty, have you made a decision about the Governor of Luzon and the Commander of the National Guard?"

"What do you mean?" Li Weiguo asked rhetorically.

"The minister never dares, please don't joke with the minister, the minister's neck is cool and cool!" Cheng Kun suddenly knelt on one knee in fear, since Li Weiguo ascended the throne as emperor, he gradually abolished the etiquette of kneeling on both knees, but in order to retain the royal prestige, the etiquette of kneeling on one knee was adopted, which is similar to the popular knight etiquette of kneeling on one knee in Europe, and is not criticized.

Today's Li Weiguo has enough imperial majesty and imperial skills, the way of controlling the ministers is becoming more and more mature, and the words are becoming more and more cunning.

"I don't have a minister of civil and military affairs here, you are the biggest official, I forgive you for your innocence, and you can speak freely. You have investigated the eighteen generations of Chinese in Nanyang, and you have some experience, but it doesn't hurt, maybe you can help me make a correct decision. ”

Seeing Li Weiguo's insistence, Cheng Kun had no choice but to talk about his own opinion.

"The minister is frightened, the minister dares to say, judging from the information that the minister currently has, because of the poor living environment of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, these people who can survive in the form of a family are very capable, and the Chen family has the strongest power, and the wealth is rival the country, of course, this country refers to the previous Philippines. The Gong family has the widest connections and the strongest appeal, and many families are still following the Gong family, trying in vain to restore the Ming dynasty. Only other Chinese people are more or less attached to these two surnames. ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "Being able to maintain the prosperity of the family in a harsh environment. There must be something outstanding. However, the sense of family here is too strong, and I am worried that once they are given great power, it will easily breed corruption. ”

Cheng Kun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming, naturally you will not allow corruption to breed, it is better to transfer a top leader from the country to take charge, and select a deputy from the Chen family and the Gong family to help you, I think you can stabilize Luzon." ”

Li Weiguo shook his head, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "Just use the local overseas Chinese, I will give them enough rights." I want to see what this Luzon can become? ”

Cheng Kun was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Li Weiguo made such a decision, this is not scientific.

He suddenly remembered that Li Weiguo was not just here to inspect and escape the cold vacation this time, but he was carrying an army of 100,000 sea and land behind him!

Could it be......

Cheng Kun was shocked, and secretly glanced at Li Weiguo, as if he had guessed Li Weiguo's true purpose, and secretly criticized this emperor for being really eloquent, and the emperors of the ages were not able to beat it together!

Thinking of this, Cheng Kun suddenly smiled evilly: "Since Your Majesty has decided." So how about taking a look at the beauties that the overseas Chinese in Luzon have dedicated to Your Majesty? They are all beautiful women in a million, and the ministers have investigated the details in detail, and Your Majesty can enjoy them with confidence. ”

Li Weiguo was immediately overjoyed and gave Cheng Kun a look that all men understand.

The overseas Chinese family in Luzon originally elected a total of two beauties. They are from the Chen family and the Gong family, but when they heard that the emperor didn't bring the harem concubines over, they immediately became active and added three more beauties.

Among them, two are Chen. Named Chen Hao and Chen Fala respectively (hey, his hands are shaking), Li Weiguo chose the former with a little surprise.

Two of the Gong family. They were Zhu Yin and Zhu Xiaotian (hey, his hands were shaking again), and Li Weiguo crossed out the latter without looking at it.

The fifth surname is Lin, and the boudoir is like a boudoir (this time his hands are really trembling), okay, Li Weiguo plans to make an exception, this time he accepted three into the harem, and he expected that he would not be lonely on vacation in Luzon.

Three days later, Li Weiguo was in a very happy mood, appointed Chen Zhen, the head of the Chen family, as the first governor of Luzon Prefecture, appointed Zhu Nan, the head of the Gong family, as the commander of the Luzon National Guard, conferred the rank of brigadier general of the Chinese Shence Army, and appointed him as the deputy commander of the Luzon Prefecture Military Region of the Overseas Theater of the Chinese Shence Army, in charge of logistics work.

As soon as this appointment was announced, the entire overseas Chinese community in Luzon was suddenly boiling, and they congratulated the Chen family, the palace family, and the Lin family one after another.

Li Weiguo smiled mysteriously, Cheng Kun smiled helplessly, the former was calculating, and the latter could only pray that one day, His Majesty the emperor in front of him would not use this trick against him.

Soon, under the banner of avenging the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, Li Weiguo left 7,000 men to guard Manila, and the remaining 80,000 troops marched to various parts of the Luzon Islands under the cover of the navy's giant ships and cannons, and carried out bloody suppression of the local Spanish remnants and the Philippine Revolutionary Army, leaving no prisoners for the first time.

The war quickly broke out throughout the Luzon Islands, and the remnants of Spain and the Philippine Revolutionary Army were naturally no match for the Chinese Shence Army, which was armed to the teeth, and was soon defeated with numerous casualties, and was forced to retreat into the deep mountains and forests to wage guerrilla warfare.

Unable to defeat the guerrillas, the Chinese Shence Army adopted the three-light policy and massacred the indigenous Filipinos.

The Chinese diaspora in Luzon did not have a good impression of the Spaniards and the indigenous Filipinos, and they cheered for the Chinese Shence Army, and if foreigners remembered to criticize it, they immediately stood up and refuted it.

"When the Spaniards and the indigenous Filipinos slaughtered the Chinese, why didn't you stand up and refute it?"

This sentence suddenly left the foreigner speechless.

Well, as long as the Chinese Shence Army does not kill foreigners, then foreigners will no longer be nosy.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Li Weiguo specially set up a family banquet to entertain the Chen family, the head of the Gong family and the head of the Lin family, and cried to them about poverty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the empire is newly built, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and foreign enemies are looking around, it is not easy for me!"

"Your Majesty, the Chen family is willing to donate two million yuan to fund the great cause of the Imperial Divine Strategy Army to suppress bandits!"

"Your Majesty, our palace family is also willing to donate 300,000 yuan! And call on the Chinese in Luzon to donate together! ”

"Your Majesty, our Lin family is not rich and noble, but we are also willing to do our part, we donate 50,000 yuan, and call on overseas Chinese children to join the army enthusiastically, serve the court, and serve Your Majesty!"

"Okay, well, I have three families to help. Luzon pacification is just around the corner! ”

Li Weiguo was immediately overjoyed, and secretly criticized these three old fathers-in-law for being quite good.

Three months later, the fighting throughout Luzon had died down, and the war was over, with more than 10,000 Spanish remnants and more than 20,000 Filipino servants. The Philippine Revolutionary Army in various places suffered heavy losses, with more than 100,000 casualties, and the rural revolutionary base areas on which they relied for their survival were swept away, and often entire villages and towns were completely wiped off the map, and countless casualties were inflicted. Because this crackdown lasted for half a century, all the documents have been re-edited, and there is only one thing that can prove that the indigenous Filipinos have suffered bloody revenge, that is, 50 years ago, the Chinese population in the Philippines accounted for only 1% of the total population, and 50 years later, the Chinese accounted for 99% of the total population.

As China's national power grew stronger, a well-known foreign scholar even directly accused his country of falsifying the historical records of the Philippines, which frightened the government to hurriedly revise the historical documents according to the famous scholar's wishes. The last record of the indigenous Filipinos has also been erased, and a hundred years later, no one knows that there was once such an indigenous person named the Philippines.

That's all for later, and Li Weiguo has received a lot of reports at this moment. The Chen family, the Gong family, and the Lin family were too hateful, and their power and industry in various places were often attacked by the natives in the nearby mountains and forests, which made the power of the three families in Luzon very hard, while the other small Chinese families did not lose much. On the contrary, under the "support" policy of the imperial government, it gradually developed and grew, reaching the point where it could contain the three major families.

Li Weiguo saw that his imperial mind had succeeded, and he immediately stopped worrying about the affairs of Luzon. Then depart for Lan Fang Zhou.

After three months, the officers and soldiers of the 50th town stationed in Lanfang Prefecture have already begun to clear the natives in the local primeval forest, but these natives are very ferocious, although they use primitive bows and arrows and spears, but because of the battle in the primeval forest, the firepower advantage of the Chinese Shence Army can not be brought into play, but is often poisoned by the natives to cause many casualties.

After Li Weiguo arrived at the Pontianak Palace in Lanfang Prefecture, he was immediately furious, and he was most disgusted with the natives of the Dutch East Indies, because the anti-Chinese riots in other parts of Southeast Asia were more or less restrained after the civilized era, and the casualties or the loss of some money were basically over, but this Dutch East Indies was still creating large-scale anti-Chinese riots in the nineties of the twentieth century, causing thousands of Chinese to die tragically, which frightened Li Weiguo's young heart when he was a child, and vowed to let them pay for their blood debts when they grew up.

Therefore, after Li Weiguo arrived in Pontianak, he immediately ordered the army of the 51st, 52nd, and 53rd towns that came with him to join the battle and began to suppress the natives of the Dutch East Indies on all sides.

Lanfang Prefecture is vast and full of mountains and primeval forests, which makes it very difficult for the soldiers of the Chinese Shence Army to "suppress bandits".

But with Li Weiguo here, of course he has a way to deal with these savages.

The Chinese Army has long been equipped with flamethrowers, and this time suddenly came in handy.

Under Li Weiguo's careful deployment, the entire Borneo Island was divided into a piece of area, and the mountains were set on fire near each square, but in order to preserve the primeval forest (for the sake of the descendants of future Chinese immigrants), Li Weiguo "invented" the isolation zone tactic, which came from the inspiration of forest fire fighting in later generations, so as to cut off the possibility of the natives in each area to support each other, and then tens of thousands of troops began to enter the mountains and forests side by side to sweep, so that the natives had no way to escape.

A month later, this tactic had achieved remarkable results, and seeing that it was spring, Li Weiguo was ready to return to Beijing from his vacation.

However, before leaving, he still arranged candidates for the governor of Lanfang Prefecture and the commander of the local National Guard.

This time, Li Weiguo did not fancy the selected beauties, because Li Weiguo has a high vision, and at the same time, he pays great attention to health and health, and it is enough to hunt three high-quality peerless beauties every year, and this year's goal has obviously been completed in Luzon at one time, so he did not accept any more concubines.

This once made the overseas Chinese in Lanfang Prefecture a little emotional, but soon Li Weiguo's words turned their anger into joy.

"You don't have to worry, have more children, if you can cultivate a beautiful woman like Xi Shi Diao Chan, I will definitely keep my promise and come to take her as a concubine in person."

Well, Li Weiguo's unintentional words made the overseas Chinese in Lanfang Prefecture full of fighting spirit, and after that, every household closed their doors early to sleep and make people, striving to give birth to peerless beauties who can meet Li Weiguo's aesthetic standards as soon as possible.

As a result, half a century later, the population of Lanfang Prefecture has exploded and it is famous for its abundance of beautiful women. (To be continued.) )
