Manila was already a trading city, and the Spaniards used it as a center to reap a lot of benefits from East Asia. After 100 years of management by the Spaniards, Manila has already formed a complete set of governing mechanisms. The rule of the Chinese is an extremely important part of this. The Spaniards did not directly rule everyone, but divided into regions and chose the Chinese close to them to manage on their behalf, which gave birth to a group of minions who helped the Spaniards to kill their Chinese compatriots.

Although the Ma family in Manila City has been replaced by the Hai family in recent years, its strength is still very strong. In Luzon, it may be slightly inferior in money to the Hai family, who carry large sums of money, but it is greatly surpassed in land, and the Hai family, after several generations of development, closely followed in the footsteps of the Spaniards and annexed many other Chinese families. Especially in the two massacres of the Chinese by the Spaniards, the Ma family acted as minions.

On July 1, when the sound of artillery rang out in the city of Manila, the officials and people in Manila did not know why, and when they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, they realized that there was turmoil in the city. Moreover, the source of the turmoil is still Chinese, after all, the bursts of shouting and killing are all in Chinese, and this voice is most familiar to the Chinese. But except for a few families who knew the inside story, the first reaction of other people when they heard this voice was panic and fear, and it was not the first time that the Chinese rioted and resisted. A hundred years ago, Lin Feng, a private armed leader active in Fujian, almost captured Manila but ultimately failed, as did the Chinese riots seventy years ago. It has also been brutally suppressed. The end result is corpses all over the field. Rivers of blood.

After the Chinese businessmen and people staying in the city reacted, they quickly packed their bags, wanting to help the old and the young and escape from the city, and the farther they escaped, the better, but because they knew that this was the time of the battle, they did not dare to run to the street immediately, so they wanted to wait until the shouting stopped. Act now. But just as they were about to set off and rush into the street, the shouts of killing were gone, the gunfire and artillery had stopped, and the guards at several street entrances were not Spanish soldiers, but Chinese soldiers in crisp uniforms.

Everyone almost couldn't believe their eyes, this was a Han soldier, a Qing countryman, who could be recognized by the braids they dragged behind them. Immediately the people cheered loudly. They have been exploited by the Spaniards for a long time, and they have to act according to the faces of the Spaniards everywhere. Now seeing that the groups of Spaniards are all under the escort of the Qing soldiers, they all feel that the big stone that has been pressing on them for a long time in their hearts has fallen to the ground.

This situation is not good news for the Ma family and other pro-Spanish families, and their first reaction is to know that these people are Fujian's Mawei Navy. These people have been responsible for managing the Chinese for a long time, and they can be said to know the Chinese forces well, and it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese forces in Luzon to create such an elite army that is more powerful than the Spaniards under their noses. Thinking of what he had done, he was in a panic and restless.

The Marines took the city of Manila, but due to the limited number of troops, most of the streets were cordoned off by the guards of the Hai family and other partner families. The people were persuaded to go home, close their doors and windows, and wait for the ban to be lifted. The Ma family and other people from the family also wanted to send people out to contact each other or inquire about the news, but they were forcibly persuaded by the soldiers of the Marine Army to retreat from the family guards. At this time, they actually still have a glimmer of hope, after all, there are more than 3,000 Spanish navies outside the city, and if more than 3,000 Spanish navies can come in again, then they can continue their glory and wealth.

"Master, what should we do, the gate of the house is guarded, and we are not allowed to enter or leave at all, not only our family, but the whole city is blocked. Now the streets are full of soldiers, and anyone they find suspicious, they don't care who you are, they will be killed directly! "One of the housekeepers of the Ma family wandered around the street for a while, but was eventually driven back, and when he returned, even the entrance of his house began to be guarded by soldiers.

The head of the Ma family had a gloomy face, and two exquisite walnuts were spinning around in his hand, constantly wandering around in the center of the hall.

"Dad, why don't we take advantage of the chaos and go out of the city. There are thousands of Spanish navies outside the city, and if we get there, the Spaniards will protect us. Those people outside can't beat the Spaniards. "The eldest prince of the Ma family exited the building yì road. The current head of the Ma family has a total of three sons, the eldest son is staying in the mansion today, the second son is in the shop in the east of the city, and the third son is in the manor outside the city. It was also their bad luck, if they had known that this was the case, they would not have entered the city two days ago.

"Kill it, say it lightly! How many people do you have in your hands now? Can it compare to the heavily armed armies out there? The head of the Ma family yelled angrily. He was telling the truth, the Ma family, like the Hai family and other families, also had their own guards, and there were more than 200 people, most of whom were in manors outside the city. But now in the house, plus the female dependents, there are only about 30 handmaidens in total, and there are only 10 guards. The reason why the Spaniards were able to tolerate them keeping their escorts was also because they knew that the combat strength of these escorts was not good, and all of them were armed with cold weapons, and all of them were outside the city, so they were no threat to them, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.

As soon as he heard his father say this, the eldest son of the Ma family immediately wilted. Yes, I don't have anyone in my hand, and I don't have any weapons, how can I rush out? "That, that, Dad, we can't sit still!" The eldest prince of the Ma family said urgently.

"What's the hurry! I don't think things got to that point. There is no doubt that the soldiers outside are the kings of Fujian Geng, and only Geng Wangye's Mawei navy can have the ability to take Manila City. Ah, this raid on Manila City must have been planned by them for a long time, but we didn't find any trouble. Didn't we also provide a large amount of food last year to help Geng Wang Ye relieve the disaster? In the whole Luzon Island, it can be said that our family produces the most rice, presumably Geng Wang Ye should be thinking of this love and will not do anything to us. It's a big deal, let's break some money and buy the safety of our Ma family! ”

"Yes, yes, yes. That's it. We've done Fujian a great favor. It's a big deal, we don't want the merchant ships we agreed upon, if it doesn't work, we will give more money, we will definitely be fine! The eldest son of the Ma family nodded busily and said, his father reacted quickly, and immediately thought of the key.

"Look at your bear-like appearance, how many times have I taught you, to make Tarzan collapse in front of you without changing your face. Before the matter was finalized, they took the city of Manila. The thousands of Spanish navies outside the city would never rest on their laurels. We haven't heard the cannon fire in the bay until now, which means that the Mawei Navy and the Spanish Navy have not yet started a war, and if the Spanish Navy wins, these people in the city will not be able to jump for long. Wait! "The head of the Ma family is worthy of being the head of the family, and he quickly took all aspects of the matter into consideration. Since he is trapped here at the moment, he can only wait and see what happens.

There were no longer a few people like the Ma family master, but they waited until the afternoon, and only heard a few rounds of artillery in the middle, and then there was nothing. This also made the hearts of the Ma family master and others sink little by little, and it is impossible to continue to rely on the Spaniards. The forces in the city will be reshuffled. If they want to continue to maintain their status, they are afraid that it will be difficult, and even whether they can hold on to their lives is a question.

More than 30,000 men of the Mawei Navy occupied Luzon strongly. All the Spaniards were kept in custody. As Lee Kwang-di entered the city of Manila, the first order he gave was to arrest all the Spanish Chinese minions who had been fighting for the tiger. The head of the Ma family and others were dragged out of the mansion and sent outside the city in fear, and they were already found out by the intelligence officers of the Ministry of Intelligence, and they were all recorded in the case one by one.

The blockade of Manila had been due to a lack of Marines, but with the disembarkation of tens of thousands of navies and thousands of Marines, sufficient forces were immediately dispatched to clear the Spaniards and their minions from all over Luzon. Originally, they thought that Geng Jingzhong would remember that they had helped in disaster relief and would let them go, but they didn't want to think about how many Chinese they had done, how much wealth they had plundered for the Spaniards, and it would not be an exaggeration to shoot them dozens of times.

The Spaniards have been operating here for a hundred years, and they have indeed left a lot of wealth, although most of them are transported back to Spain every year, but the part that remains here also makes the Mawei Army eat a lot of money again. In addition to the part of the Spaniards, there is also a lot of wealth copied from the homes of those Chinese scum. These scum have been looting for decades, and they have also accumulated a lot of wealth, and now they are all cheap. Just roughly cleaned up the gold and silver found from the homes of these scum, and the total amount exceeded 20 million silver dollars.

"Report! Report to the Chief of Staff, the prince has an order! Let us prepare to receive the first wave of immigrants, and by the time the last general departs, the first wave of 20,000 people has already boarded the ship! ”

"So fast! Okay, got it. You've worked hard, go down and rest. "Lee Guang-di has been dealing with a lot of trivial matters here in Manila these days, which has given him a headache. Fortunately, there are also assistants such as Xu Shan who are very familiar with this place to help, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to deal with the unfamiliar place.

"Manager Xu, you are responsible for cleaning out the manors of the Ma family and other families, how did these immigrants first arrive, and there are not so many houses for them to live in, the manor of these scum families is a good place to go!" Li Guangdi turned around and said to Xu Shan, who was still dealing with government affairs not far away.

"Oh, great idea. The estates of these scum are indeed large enough and numerous, and now there are a large number of vacant houses, accommodating 20,000 people, which is barely enough! Xu Shan nodded and replied.

"20,000 people are just the first wave, and there will be about 300,000 people who will migrate here in the future. In this way, Manila's side is completely stable anyway, and it's all under our control. Then quickly follow the original plan, a few plots of land have been divided, and let the people who come build their own houses, but still live in those manors for the time being. I think that by the time the second group of people brought it, the first group of people should have almost built their own houses! Li Guangdi stroked his mustache and said.

"My lord, so many immigrants have come, and the food they need is also a large amount, and now all the food is under the care of Lord Wang, do you give an order to hurry up and transport a batch of food for emergency?"

"There's no rush to this. General Wang understood the priorities of the matter. At that time, many things will still need the help of the soldiers. That's right. Isn't there more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the city now, so why don't you ask them to help build a house first? Hehe, do it like this, the prince has long said that the military and civilians are in good shape, and helping immigrants build houses is also an important hand in bringing the relationship between the military and the people closer! Li Guangdi didn't wait for Xu Shan to refute, so he made a decision. Laugh out loud at the same time.

Wang Zhenbang led the army to take the Spanish fleet, and then stayed in Manila City with Li Guangdi, there were very few Spanish defenders in other places, and the detachments of the fleets could be easily dealt with by setting off separately, and there was no need for him to make a move. Now, under an order from Lee Kwang-di, the leisurely Mawei Navy has 3,000 marines to do. The chiefs led their subordinates into the forest to cut down trees and began to build houses.

But. Wang Zhenbang changed Li Guangdi's order, and it was not only the soldiers who were doing it, but nearly 20,000 Spanish prisoners, both men and women, were all escorted to the wilderness to help build houses together. In Geng Jingzhong's words, it is to let them use their residual heat, and anyway, they will eventually return them to Spain. Of course, when the time comes, you will have to knock Spain hard. In addition to these captives, Wang Zhenbang also built a large number of locals to gather together, so that the speed of building houses was greatly accelerated. Eventually, more than 60,000 people worked together, and by the time the first wave arrived, 8,000 houses had been scattered across fertile fields outside Manila, forming villages one after another. As for the natives who were originally here, they were forcibly relocated to farther places

Fujian Fuzhou Prefecture, Langqi Island. The first wave of 20,000 victims arrived in Fuzhou with the offshore formation, but Geng Jingzhong did not let them enter the inland at all, and the offshore formation made a short anchorage on Langqi Island. In the early stage, ships had been prepared at the port of Houyu, and as soon as the victims arrived, the Kunpeng fleet and dozens of hired sea ships would send all the people to Luzon Island from here.

In the early preparations, a large amount of food had already been delivered, and the reason for this was to prepare for the sudden influx of the victims. After nearly 10 days of resting on the ship, the victims were immediately asked by the Mawei soldiers to re-register, take their families as units, and then board the sea ship and go to Luzon.

However, during the ten days of coastal sailing, many problems also occurred, and many people fell ill, making them even weaker, and more than a dozen people died during the guide. When Geng Jingzhong received this report, he immediately ordered that all the victims of the disaster must be bathed and changed in their houses on the island before they could be arranged to board the ship, and those who were sick should stay and recuperate, and then board the ship after they were cured. These large sea ships are much better than the small boats of the inshore fleet, not only are they not crowded, but there is plenty of food, and the first voyage to Luzon is half a month, which is enough for them to slowly recover.

The Heizi family of five was the lucky one in the first batch, and the family of four followed the ships of the offshore formation to Fujian very smoothly. When they arrived at Langqi Island, they were told that they would rest for two days before they would take a big boat and go to the overseas island. After the family was assigned a temporary house, they were taken to the bath by the horsetail warriors. All the women bathed in the house, while the men were driven to the shallow waters of the sea to wash. It's July, and it's very hot, so it's nice to bathe in the shallow waters.

At that moment, Kuroko and Kuroko's father led their younger brother to the seaside to the north of the island, and they were all talking in front of them, and the wind and waves were very small, and when they arrived here, several guards immediately asked them to take off their clothes and throw them into the fire that had already been lit. As soon as Kuroko threw their clothes in, there was a crackling sound, and those who were experienced would know that it was the sound of lice being burned by fire, so you can see how many lice there were, and they all sounded very disgusting, not to mention the stench they emitted.

"Wash all of my body for me, and I can go back after our inspection!" A fierce-looking officer yelled at the sunspots, and they were all trembling, and then they all continued to squat in the sea honestly. As soon as Kuroko entered the seawater, he slipped and fell, and he didn't let his mouth into some seawater, and he immediately felt a salty taste. The soldiers on the shore kept pointing at them and scolding them, telling them to untie their hair and wash it well, especially the lice on their heads must be cleaned up, otherwise it is likely to cause plague when they get on the boat. That's how many people died on board, and so many people got sick.

For those military masters' orders, they didn't dare not listen to them, and they felt that it was very reasonable, so they all honestly washed themselves up and down in the sea water several times, fortunately this is the seaside, and the waves gently washed away the dirt, otherwise this would have become black water a long time ago.

After the inspection, they all received a new set of clothes, which made the victims almost unable to believe their eyes. When the government has been so good, although these soldiers in front of them are completely different from the previous officers and soldiers, but it is surprising enough. These clothes were all made by Geng Jingzhong at the request of the textile factory, where a large amount of cotton cloth was hoarded, and many workers worked together, and tens of thousands of pieces of various clothes were sewn in a few days. This is also Geng Jingzhong's own money, anyway, it is not much, it is only 300,000 people, that is, 300,000 sets, and the silver used is only 70,000 or 80,000 fast silver dollars, he still spent this money, after all, he just made a big fortune.
