Hearing this, Mullah Jiriqi's whole body trembled, Lin Fei saw Mullah's panic, and thought that using this means to intimidate should make him succumb, so Lin Fei directly pressed the blade on his shoulder, and smiled at his subordinates: "You may not be able to cut people, I'll give you a sample first." ”

Mullah Jiriqi trembled all over when he heard this, Lin Fei laughed fiercely, and as soon as he used his hand, the blade cut through his clothes, cut the skin, and blood flowed out along the blade, so frightened that Mullah Jiriqi hurriedly screamed: "Don't torture me, I said, I will say anything......"

Lin Fei sneered and put away his knife, pointed at the Sultan of Yagurur with his chin, and said, "Tell him everything you did!" ”

Mullah Jiriqi nodded again and again, and told the Sultan of Yagurur what was going on, and the Sultan of Yagurur was speechless in surprise after hearing these words, and Lin Fei said to the Sultan of Yagurul: "Now you can tell me where my head is, right?" ”

Sultan Yagurul sighed and said, "The head is in that tent with a golden curtain, in a wooden box. ”

Lin Fei immediately told his subordinates to go and look for it, and when it didn't matter, his subordinates found the box and sent it to Lin Fei, Lin Fei looked at the three heads in the box, and said sadly: "Send the heads back, find the best craftsman, and sew them together with the corpse." ”

The subordinates left with the box in their hands, Lin Fei waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Take the mullah Jiriqi down first, and tomorrow we will open the heart and pay tribute to the three dead brothers." ”

At this time, the Sultan of Yagurul was still tied with his hands behind his back and knelt in front of Lin Fei, Lin Fei didn't say to let him get up, and said coldly: "You killed our three brothers and cut off their heads, say, how do you want to apologize to me?" ”

Sultan Yagurul was ashamed and said, "We are willing to give each of us five hundred taels of silver as compensation." ”

Lin Fei shook his head with a sneer and said, "This price is too low!" ”

Then the Sultan of Agurul said, "Then I will give you a thousand taels of silver?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head again and said, "It's not about money. ”

Sultan Yagurul wondered, "It's not about money? How do we have to compensate? ”

Lin Fei said: "I want your Sulu Sultanate to obey the orders of the Huaxia Empire from now on, can you agree?" ”

There was a burst of anger in Sultan Yagurul's eyes, and Lin Fei said: "Our Huaxia Empire will not interfere with your faith, and you can continue to believe in Islam, but your economy should be integrated with the Huaxia Empire, and the Huaxia currency issued by the Huaxia Empire will be used as the only currency, can you agree?" ”

Sultan Yagurul was reluctant to agree, but after thinking about it, his subordinates were all scattered by the Chinese Empire, what capital did he have to rebel against the Chinese Empire? And the Huaxia Empire is too powerful, looking at their weapons, even if they give themselves fifty years, I am afraid they will not be able to catch up with the Huaxia Empire.

There was a fierce confrontation in the mind of the Sultan of Yagurul, Lin Fei saw the Sultan's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Your current elite is basically dead, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled, even if I let you go back, the Spaniards will not spare you, and your country will not be able to be saved at that time." ”

"The Spaniards are not as merciful as me, they will force you to convert to Catholicism, demolish your mosques, and denounce Allah as an 'evil god' and a 'demon', and I will respect your religious beliefs, so your only way out is to belong to my Chinese Empire, and our Chinese Empire will be your protector."

Sultan Yagurur thought gloomily, what Lin Fei said was very right, the Spaniards would not think that the Chinese would be so merciful, he was a little moved, and said: "There are still Spaniards stationed on Hele Island, and the sultan they support, can the Chinese Empire defeat them?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I can tell you responsibly, the Spaniards on Hele Island don't need me to fight, they will run away by themselves." ”

Sultan Yagurul was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lin Fei laughed loudly: "The Spaniards of the Sulu Sultanate relied on Zamboanga to provide them with weapons, equipment and ammunition, and now that Zamboanga is lost, do they dare to stay in the Sulu Sultanate?" ”

Sultan Yagurur nodded lightly and said, "Okay then, I promise to submit to the Huaxia Empire." ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Very good, I will send a force to follow you and return to China with you, this force can protect you." ”

The Sultan of Yagurul knew very well in his heart that the protection that Lin Fei said was only one of the tasks of this army, and the more important task of this army was to monitor themselves and not let themselves have the slightest disloyalty to the Chinese Empire.

Although Sultan Yagurul thought of this, he didn't say anything, after all, he was already a complete weak person at this time, a weak person who needed the protection of the Huaxia Empire.

Lin Fei smiled and said to the warriors beside the Sultan of Yagurul, "Untie him and take him back to rest." ”

The two warriors untied the rope of the Sultan of Yagurul and took away the Sultan of Yagurul, Lin Fei looked at the back of the departure of the Sultan of Yaguru and thought, this time the Sultanate of Sulu was also solved, the Sultanate of Sulu had traded with the Qing State for a long time in history, and accumulated a lot of silver, and now that the Sultanate of Sulu has been surrendered, I will get all the silver of the Sultanate of Sulu.

These silver are very good for me, the Qing country has a lot of resources and minerals, now my strength is not enough to overthrow the Manchu magnates, liberate the Chinese compatriots, want the resources and minerals of the Qing country can only be purchased through guò, in this era, and the Qing country trade needs to use silver, if I have a large amount of silver, I can directly trade with the Qing country, without having to convert the gold in my hand into silver.

Swapping gold for silver may seem like a small step, but it can have a huge impact on the Chinese Empire, because the price of gold to silver fluctuates, and these fluctuations can bring unpredictable losses to the empire.

Lin Fei looked at the soldiers around him while thinking, and saw that the anger on their faces had dissipated a lot, and after the fierce battle just now, everyone let out a bad breath.

In the next day, Lin Fei sent the first company out to follow the Sultan of Yagurul back to the Sultanate of Sulu, and establish the government institutions of the Chinese Empire on Hele Island, preparing for the follow-up officials to go to the island, and Yu Zhe also followed, he wanted to find his subordinates.

Lin Fei also punished Mullah Jiliqi who spread rumors, if it weren't for Mullah Jiliqi's desire to be distracted and open his mouth, the three sniper team fighters would not have died, so Lin Fei gathered everyone together and held a memorial service for the three dead sniper team soldiers, and at the memorial service, Jiliqi Mullah was disemboweled and dug out of his heart to pay tribute to the deceased.

After the affairs of the Sulu Sultanate were dealt with, Lin Fei immediately set about strengthening his control over Mindanao, and he first gathered the people from the Zamboanga Telephone Office and asked them to start restoring the communication lines from Zamboanga to Butuancheng and Kotabato.

In order to control several major cities, the Spaniards set up telephone lines and telegraph lines between cities, and some lines were damaged by the war, and now these lines must be repaired, and a line connecting to Yanhuang City on Samar Island will be built, communication is the key to maintaining national rule, and Lin Fei cannot ignore it.

In addition to communications, there must be transportation lines between various cities and villages, Lin Fei wanted to build a railway, but Lin Fei learned from the mouth of Chinese businessmen that the factories with railway equipment manufacturing capacity were all in Manila, and now the steel mills of the Chinese Empire were manufacturing armaments at full capacity, and there was no spare capacity to build rails.

If you can't build a railway, you can only build a road, compared to the railway, the construction of the road is much simpler, the Chinese craftsmen of this era have a set of methods and skills for road construction, plus the cement materials given to them by Lin Fei, the road built is stronger.

There is no need to worry about the manpower to build the road, because Lin Fei carried out land reform throughout Mindanao, and the reform took all the land of the Spaniards and then distributed it to the local farmers, who were grateful to the Chinese Empire and were willing to serve the Chinese Empire and His Majesty.

Lin Fei also promulgated the "Land Law of the Chinese Empire", which was the first written law of the Chinese Empire, and the promulgation of the written code marked the Chinese Empire as a member of the "civil law system", and it was clearly stipulated in the "Land Law of the Chinese Empire" that all land in the Chinese Empire belonged to the state, and no one was allowed to occupy, buy or sell or otherwise illegally transfer the land.

Lin Fei's land ownership system is very advanced in the world, because many countries practiced private ownership of land at this time.

The Land Law also stipulates that every citizen of the Chinese Empire can obtain the right to use a certain square meter of land, and the specific amount of land with the right to use is determined by the per capita cultivated area of the local village, and the term of the right to use the right is 30 years. Here, Lin Fei did not use the land unit of "mu", but used "square meter".

In order to encourage the people to reclaim the wasteland, Lin Fei issued an order stipulating that the right to use all the land obtained from reclamation belongs to the reclaimer, and the tax rate is half of the original land, this decree has given great benefits to the hard-working Chinese immigrants, at this time more than 10,000 Chinese immigrants have entered Mindanao, and more Chinese immigrants are still pouring into the island.

Mindanao is 471 kilometers long from north to south, 521 kilometers wide from east to west, covers an area of 95,000 square kilometers, and is surrounded by the sea on all sides.

Lin Fei formed garrison troops in three provinces on the basis of the three city city guards, each garrison force was about 5,000 people, these troops were not standing armies, but militia, regular training, and peacetime production, in order to reduce the expenses of the Chinese Empire.
