Watching Coquela board the sailboat and set off to return to China in embarrassment, Huang Wu instructed Yang Xiang and said: "You go to Timor-Leste and tell Mr. Zheng that now we have taken Manila, please come here as soon as possible!" ’

Yang Xiang bowed his hand and drank: "Yes, the last general will go!" ”

Sending Yang Xiang away, Huang Wu took his subordinates to answer the Governor's Mansion and began to deal with government affairs.

Lin Zhaojun, who went back together, said with a little dissatisfaction: "My lord, why do you want to let him go!" ”

Huang Wu heard a low voice: "Who said I would let him go!" ”

Lin Zhaojun said with some doubts: "Then why let him leave the port safely?" ”

Huang Wu heard it and said with a smile: "There are too many ghosts in Manila, if you don't let him go, I'm afraid that these ghosts will worry about their own safety, and I'm afraid that we will kill them quickly because of the events of the year." At that time, even if we win against those who are desperately resisting, we will suffer heavy losses. It's better to let those ghosts watch the biggest culprit leave safely, let them relax their vigilance, and slowly settle accounts with them after the autumn. ”

"But, that's too cheap, that old fellow of Coquilla!"

Huang Wu laughed when he heard it, "That's not necessarily, the sea is always full of crises, who doesn't know that day, Coqueira's ship will encounter a storm or pirates will have an accident!" ”

Lin Zhaojun heard his eyes glow and said, "My lord, what do you mean?" ”

Huang Wu shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything!" ”

……

Zheng Tai heard the news from Huang Wu's faction, loaded the luggage that had been prepared on the ship, and Qichen went to Manila.

There are also a lot of official histories with him, Manila is not known how many times larger than East Timor, and the Chinese where have gone through several disasters, and the number of people is pitiful. It takes a large number of managers to organize a complete and effective government agency.

After more than ten days of drifting, Zheng Tai and others finally arrived in Manila.

Walking all the way, looking at the sparse Chinese, Zheng Tai felt that if he wanted to build Manila, he had a long way to go.

After handing over government affairs with Huang Wu, Zheng Tai began to implement control over Manila.

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

In order to fully control Manila, the number of Chinese must be in the majority.

As soon as he took office, Zheng Tai customized a new policy for a few days overnight in order to increase the number of Chinese in Luzon and encourage childbearing.

The new policy stipulates: 1. If a girl does not marry at the age of 17, her parents will be guilty, and if a man does not marry at the age of 20, his parents will be sentenced.

2. Those who get married within these two years will be rewarded.

3. When a pregnant woman is in labor, she should report to the government in time, and the government will send the midwife to take care of the delivery.

4. Whoever gives birth to a boy shall be rewarded with thirty pounds of beef, ten pounds of wine, five hens, and three taels of silver; give birth to a girl, reward 30 catties of pork, 10 catties of wine, 5 hens, and 3 taels of silver; If a child gives birth to three children, the government provides cows, and if a child gives birth to two children, the reward is doubled.

5. Orphans, widows, sick people, and poor and helpless families, their children are adopted and educated by the government. For the nobles, the government provided clean housing, fine clothes and abundant food, and encouraged them to serve the country.

And so on!

As soon as the new policy was announced, single Chinese in Manila began to take action.

More than 30 couples got married in just one month, and there were many good news that month.

Seeing that the new policy has a good start, Zheng Tai is much more relieved.

It's just that now Manila is vast and sparsely populated, and it is impossible for the number of Chinese to skyrocket in a short period of time.

The refugees brought in from Shandong are a drop in the bucket, and they are far from meeting the needs of land reclamation and construction here.

Standing at the highest point of the Governor's Palace, looking at the endless forest outside the castle, Zheng Tai's face was full of worry.

The land here is fertile, and if you pinch it, you can drip oil.

But it is a pity that the natives here are too lazy and have unforgivable sins.

Zheng Tai looked at the great land in front of him, but no one had opened up the wasteland, and he felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Just as Zheng Tai was worrying about where to find someone to cultivate, his subordinates ran over and shouted: "Lord Governor, the general has a messenger here!" ”

Zheng Tai heard the busy reply: "Hurry up, please!" ”

After a while, a burly man walked in.

Zheng Taiyi looked at the person, and his brows straightened.

What Zheng Tai never expected was that the messenger sent by Zheng Chenggong turned out to be Shi Lang!

Since Shi Lang spoke wildly, he was suppressed by Zheng Chenggong and sent to recruit and train a new soldier.

Zheng Tai basically never met Shi Lang, and he hadn't heard of him for a long time.

I didn't expect to see him in that faraway part of Manila today.

Was he really sent by the Great General?

Zheng Tai couldn't help but be suspicious.

Shi Lang walked in, and when he saw Zheng Tai, he still arched his hand arrogantly and casually: "Meet the Governor!" ”

Seeing Shi Lang's appearance, Zheng Tai couldn't help but shake his head. I can't imagine that after so long, I still haven't smoothed this guy's water chestnut.

Zheng Tai said lightly: "You said that you were sent by the general, do you have any documents?" ”

Shi Lang took out a bamboo tube covered with a vermilion seal from his arms and handed it to Zheng Tai with one hand.

Zheng Tai took it and carefully inspected the Zhu seal, which was the general's general seal.

Knocking on the seal, Zheng Tai took out the book from the bamboo tube, opened it and looked at it.

The gist of the letter is: If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Fujian is mountainous and is preparing to carry out large-scale construction in order to develop Fujian as soon as possible.

But these projects require a lot of labor to open mountains and stones, build bridges and pave roads.

If the people are sent to do the conscription, it will increase the burden on the people, and at the same time, it is easy to arouse the resentment of the people. This is what Zheng Chenggong does not want to see.

But if you want to engage in construction, these labors are indispensable.

After thinking about it, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to decide to capture alien slaves to do this.

Just catching slaves has a reputation for violating one's own righteousness.

Now is the critical moment to compete with the Manchus for the world. For the sake of the big plan, Zheng Chenggong must be careful to maintain his reputation.

In order to hide people's eyes, Zheng Chenggong dispatched more than 1,000 soldiers, imitated the Ming Dynasty factory guard, set up Jinyi Wei, the office is in a remote corner outside Fuzhou, and the external propaganda is the Fuwei Dart Bureau.

The organization was established, but the selection of the commander made Zheng Chenggong a little difficult.

This kind of thing that violates the principles of heaven is not something that everyone can do, at least only ruthless people can do it.

Huanguan his civil and military subordinates, or he was busy training and preparing for war. Otherwise, a group of literati full of benevolence and morality really can't do this kind of thing.

Holding the roster and looking for candidates over and over again, it was not until he turned to the last page and saw the names of the people he had not seen for a long time that Zheng Chenggong remembered that he still had a suitable candidate under his command - Shi Lang.

Shi Lang is ruthless, in order to escape for his life, he even dared to send his own subordinates into the fire pit, he is a person who does not compromise the means for the sake of the end!

This kind of person is best suited to do this kind of dirty work! (To be continued.) )
