Chapter 868: Luzon (Finale)
"Let the people of the Ming Dynasty who live here come out to recognize people. △ Top novels, as long as there is an act of oppressing the people of the Ming Dynasty on weekdays. Whether it was the local students or the Spaniards, they were all grabbed and sent out of the city, and they were hung up with wooden poles! And also! Gao Yang took a heavy breath, and continued in a cold voice, "Arrest all the high-level people together." Whether it was a chief or not, as long as it was a head or above, all of them were hung on wooden poles. Let everyone here take a good look at what will happen if they dare to go against Da Ming! ”
"The last general commands!" Huang Degong responded excitedly.
Gao Yang turned his gaze to Chen Yizhu, who was speechless on the side, and said indifferently, "Governor Chen." ”
"The lower official is here!" Chen Yizhu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly responded.
"These students are a group of ignorant barbarians, and they are not worthy of being the people of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, all the students will be branded, and they will be official slaves in the future. Cultivating the fields, building bridges and paving roads, let them do everything. Those who dare to resist, those who are unwilling to do it, or those who can't do it are all hung on wooden poles. Do you understand? ”
"The lower official understands, the lower official understands." Chen Yizhu was frightened and hurriedly responded. He lifted the wide cuffs and wiped his sweaty forehead. I don't dare to think cranky anymore.
"Alright, let's all go out and do things." Gao Yang waved his hand and asked Huang Degong and the others to leave.
Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. Turn around and come to the dazzling, magnificent treasure. Reach out and pick up a handful of gemstones. Feeling the meaning of roundness and cleanliness, my heart is clear.
"With the demand for interests, there will be the motivation to move forward. I have opened a door for you to truly enter the world through this door! ”
......
In the month that followed, the indigenous people who had lived in the land for many years, as well as the Spaniards who had come here to colonize and venture out in vain to make a fortune by exploiting others, all suffered unprecedented devastation.
In the past, when they bullied the local Chinese to their heart's content. when they take away the wealth they have worked so hard to accumulate. These beneficiaries of the law of the jungle would never have imagined that they would be brutally retaliated against one day!
In order to be able to firmly grasp this rich land in the hands of the Han people as much as possible, the number of those alien races naturally had to be reduced as much as possible. It's better to have none at all!
Of course, it's important to pay attention to face. The Chinese people will not be as ostentatious as the Darwinian Europas. The excuse Gao Yang used was to avenge the Chinese who had been bullied and slaughtered in this land over the years! No one can refute this reason.
The waist bags were filled with gold and silver coins that were ringing "bang-la-la", morale was high, and the Ming soldiers with excited faces flocked to the entire Luzon island in all directions. One by one, they even ran out of good results that they hadn't seen in training!
In every castle and every village in this land, the figures of the Ming soldiers were excited.
The roar of muskets, the explosion of grenades, the desperate howls of the natives and Spaniards, and the triumphant laughter of the Ming soldiers when they got something good again all came together, disturbing the entire blue and quiet sky!
Before the departure of the army. Gao Yang has made it clear that the sergeants who go out are allowed to receive 'reasonable remuneration' from the enemy ** people to compensate for their hard work in battle. In other words, you're the one who grabs something!
This can be regarded as a complete mobilization of the enthusiasm of the Ming army. In this era, what you say about patriotism and loyalty to the monarch, defending the family and defending the country has no effect. The power of slogans is very weak in this era. The common people don't care who the emperor is, they will only pursue themselves to live a good life!
I want the most of the sergeants who are from simple peasants to be completely loyal to this expanding and overfed army, and even if they retire and return to their hometowns in the future, they will try their best to send their children into the army. The only way to do that is to show them the tangible benefits!
Gao Yang, give them dividends now.
Chen Yizhu, who had a red glow in his eyes, looked at the Ming soldiers who returned to Manila City after looting from all over the place with hot eyes. Watching their large bags and small bags with the benefits they had snatched, their waists were full of bosoms. The carriage behind him, the ox cart, and the cart were loaded with all kinds of messy things!
The prefect's eyes are on fire!
Thousands of miles of officials are only for money.
In this era when there are Yan Ruyu and the Golden House in this book. Lord Chen naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie from this rare feast.
It's just that in the face of a strong army that eats everything it can see, it swallows the belly of Hesai. Lord Chen can only cry out in vain. He didn't dare to grab the benefits with the army, and he didn't have the manpower under his hands that could be used!
Although the newly established Luzon Mansion has been officially opened. But he, the prefect, couldn't mobilize anyone except for the family Ding Xixi he brought over!
None of the headhunters birded him, and no one listened to any of his orders. The prefect has become a rubber stamp entirely. This made Lord Chen feel left out, but there was nothing he could do.
Or do. Or don't do it.
What will happen if you don't do it? It's a big deal! When I was on the boat, I encountered wind and waves, capsized, the weather was very hot, I fell ill and died, etc. These words were not what Master Chen thought of himself, but the officials who came out of the new-style academy under his command told him coldly!
What else can I do at this time? Stay honest.
Hordes of Ming sergeants pounced into one village after another under the leadership of the local enthusiastic Chinese. Take all the heads. Loot the wealth of an entire village and set fire to a large number of houses. The rest were all registered and became second-class citizens of this Luzon island.
Saying that he is a second-class citizen is actually just a nice name. In fact, these people have been reduced to cheap slavery on the island of Luzon. All the hard work here, including going to the mine to open a mine, will all be handed over to these lazy students. No one cares if they live or die.
This is the law of the jungle of red fruits, the winner is king!
The Spaniards were able to enslave these natives for hundreds of years, making them as docile as obedient kittens. There is no reason why the Ming Dynasty, which is stronger in force and more sophisticated in means, can't do it! But all those who resisted were sent to the west by the bayonets and lead bullets of the Ming army.
Gao Yang has never believed that the Huairou policy can really work, because there are too many white-eyed wolves in this world. In his eyes, great force prevails over everything!
Roads around Manila City are lined with freshly cut wooden piles. The strings on it were filled with local squabbles and Spaniards who continued to resist. If it weren't for the hot weather, worried that a large-scale infectious disease would occur, Gao Yang estimated that he would have let these wooden stakes hang all the time.
That's deterrence!
In this world of the jungle, nations with weak fists will be reduced to food for others.
Gao Yang went south to attack Luzon Island, in addition to human, historical, cultural, geographical and other reasons. Another important reason is that Luzon is a huge natural treasure!
According to the statistics of modern time and space, Luzon has a large number of metal and non-metal mines. Many of them are extremely rare and important ores.
Among the metal ores, such as gold, chromium, nickel, copper, etc., the reserves can be ranked among the top in the world. Gold mines have at least more than 1,000 tonnes of reserves, and copper ore, which is extremely important in this era, is close to 5 billion tonnes! As for other important metals, there are also large reserves.
Among non-metallic minerals, such as phosphate ore, sea bird droppings, clay, dolomite, limestone, marble, silica and so on. There are more than 50 billion tons of mineral reserves of all kinds! And that's not counting oil!
Such a huge treasure trove is even more than Australia, which is known as the country on the minecart in terms of unit area!
Once the Industrial Revolution officially begins, these things are the lifeblood of industry!
These treasures are left to those lazy and ugly aborigines. In addition, there is a large amount of fertile land suitable for growing crops. The seizure of Luzon became a matter of course.
In order to consolidate the Ming Dynasty's dominance on Luzon, in addition to sending a large number of immigrants to fill the land. After the Spanish were cleared, the most important task was to deal with the natives.
First of all, the leaders of the natives are eliminated, and then the last use value of these natives is squeezed by heavy labor. In the end, all the useless natives who have not died are sent to a nearby island to fend for themselves.
When the natives have been cleaned up, and only the Ming people are left on this island, future generations can proudly claim that Luzon Island is an inseparable part of our Chinese nation since ancient times!
Unless there is a world war that is enough to lose the fortunes of the country in the future. Otherwise, this place will forever become the land of the Chinese nation!
The Ming Empire was a country with very strong self-esteem. The Son of Heaven guarding the country and the king dying is not something to be said casually. Not a single emperor dared to cede an inch of land! This is completely different from those colonists who 'would rather be outsiders than domestic slaves'.
Since this Luzon Island has been officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is rich in products and has many fertile fields. The Ming Emperor will never give up. Even if it's overseas.
In the same way, a huge new territory was for those officials of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is an old-fashioned official from the imperial examination or an official from a new-style school, it is the same. Means a lot of location!
What could be more appealing to these officials than their location? In order to keep a position that is more important than life, the officials of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably do their best to defend this land.
Everyone except those rotten knows that profit is above all else. (To be continued.) )
