"What's going on?" Ning Wu was puzzled, he had already put on an offensive posture just now, and the formation was also set, and he suddenly turned to escape.

"General, look, our fleet to the east!" The latest observation information came from the mast bucket at this moment, and in the east direction, a naval fleet sailed out of Manila Bay, which was the fourth squadron left behind in Manila Bay.

Geng Jingzhong also heard Shangdou's report, and his heart was clear. The Dutch were afraid, the warships on their side, both in number and size, were not inferior to the Dutch warships, in fact, they exceeded a lot, after all, the largest of the Dutch warships was a battleship with a displacement of about 1,300 tons, while the Mawei third-class battleships were 400 tons higher than them, and they were slightly larger in size. "Order not to pursue, let them go!" At this time, although he really wanted to keep all the Dutch fleet, but with his two detachments and the wounded British participating warships, even if he could completely annihilate the Dutch, he would definitely suffer great losses.

The Dutchman retreated in the face of difficulties, but he was also self-aware. Ning Wu's face was full of unhappiness, and the adjutant beside him could see it, but when Ning Wu heard Geng Jingzhong's order, he also understood Geng Jingzhong's intentions. It's okay not to fight for the time being, if you want to fight, you have to wait until all your own warships are gathered, and then beat them with absolute firepower. "Lord Wang" Ning Wu stepped down from the front deck and asked Geng Jingzhong.

"No need to chase! The Dutch are not weak, although we are sure to win them. But we don't have the absolute upper hand after all. Insist on going to war. It can only kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, such a deal can't be done, our Mawei Army has never returned empty-handed! Geng Jingzhong said with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Besides, we are so far away from them, and the east wind is still hanging today, which just helps them escape, but it is not conducive to our pursuit! In addition, we should still have some people staying in Batavia to preside over the purchase and transportation of horses. We didn't go to war, and even if the Dutch were angry, it wouldn't be too difficult for our people. ”

"That's right! Our ship hasn't passed yet, so it's going to be slower than theirs. Lord Wang, you are right, this is fine, it is indeed a little early for the conflict to start. You didn't chimed in.

"The British are over there, you send someone over and inform them, and let them enter the port of Manila with them to rest. Hmph, it seems that they have suffered enough this time, and now they know our importance! Geng Jingzhong pointed to the British warship and Ning Wu not far away.

Xu Yingyuan led dozens of warships left behind in Manila to the open sea. As soon as they emerged, the Dutch were scared away. The naval fleet in Manila received a signal from a patrol ship early in the morning. Although it was afternoon, the sun was still dazzling, but the thick black smoke could transmit the message more than ten kilometers away, and after two transmissions, the naval soldiers in Manila Port also received it. Xu Yingyuan received a report from his subordinates, and immediately led the team to set off, but he wanted to see where the enemy came from, and now he dared to invade their territory.

Xu Yingyuan also thought that it was a Spaniard at first, but after thinking about it, even if the Spaniards were able to dispatch effectively, from receiving the news that the Philippines was occupied, and then sending troops across the ocean to Asia, it would take at least ten months or more, which was only more than five months since they took Luzon, and it is estimated that at this time, the Spanish king should have heard the news of Luzon's change of ownership. According to the prince's estimate, even if some Western merchants returned to China last year and publicized the news that Luzon Island was occupied by the Mawei Army, the Spanish royal family would have to send someone to find out the accuracy of the news before deciding whether to send troops to take Luzon back. It took more than half a year to go back and forth, so the suspicious enemy that appeared on the sea now was certainly not the Spaniards.

The position of the Dutch fleet is in the southwest direction of Manila Bay, and the direction of Manila Bay is also facing southwest, out of Manila Bay, Xu Yingyuan also immediately discovered the Dutch fleet opposite. It's a pity that when Xu Yingyuan discovered the Dutch fleet, the Dutch also discovered them, so they immediately turned to escape. As the Dutch ran away, Xu Yingyuan also discovered Geng Jingzhong's fleet, so he kept approaching and waving flags to welcome Geng Jingzhong's arrival.

In fact, the news that Geng Jingzhong was going to come to Luzon Island to inspect had already sent someone to inform Luzon Island a few years ago, and Xu Yingyuan saw dozens of horsetail warships, how could he not know who was coming! At the same time that he ordered to approach to meet him, he also ordered the small warship at the rear to rush back to Manila Harbor to report and report to the Governor's Palace in Manila

"Subordinates, wait for the prince!" In the former Spanish Governor's Palace, now the Luzon Governor's Palace, a group of new and old ministers will be lined up on both sides to salute Geng Jingzhong. It has been two days since Geng Jingzhong arrived here, and this was the first meeting to gather the officials of Luzon. The old people of the Mawei group who can appear here have basically seen Geng Jingzhong more than once, but those newly appointed officials of Luzon Island have really seen the legendary His Royal Highness King Jingnan for the first time. One by one, they couldn't help but feel a little excited in their hearts, standing there and couldn't control their heartbeat, their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Well, sit down!" The Mawei group has made progress in this regard, and there are multiple rows of chairs in each meeting hall, and everyone who participates in the deliberations has a seat, unlike before, where subordinates can only stand. In the past few months, the officials on Luzon have also become accustomed to the style of the Mawei clique, and when they heard Geng Jingzhong's speech, they sat down one by one.

Geng Jingzhong looked around and saw that everyone below was full of energy, and said with satisfaction: "You guys are in good spirits, seeing you like this, I can also roughly know how things are handled here." This is the king's first time in this overseas territory. Now the king is here. This will always belong to the king. Hehe. At the same time, this also belongs to you big guys, and this is the place where you can show your strength in the future. ”

"Although the city of Manila is not a majestic city, it has been run by the Spaniards for nearly a hundred years. I've been a spectacular journey. In the future, we will vigorously build this place and build Manila City into a bridgehead for our overseas expansion. In the near future, not only this Luzon. These islands in Southeast Asia will be our territory. This is the first time Geng Jingzhong has revealed his ambition in front of everyone, and before, only Li Guangdi and a few other core people knew. Like Xu Shan, who has always been in charge of Luzon, he thought that Geng Jingzhong took Luzon Island to find a way out for himself, and he just used Luzon Island to strengthen himself. He hadn't thought that Geng Jingzhong's appetite was so great that he wanted to swallow the entire Southeast Asian archipelago.

What these people don't know is that Geng Jingzhong's ambition is not only that, but Geng Jingzhong will not explain to them in detail, and the news is shocking enough. As soon as Geng Jingzhong finished speaking, there was a buzz below. Geng Jingzhong, who was sitting at the top, did not speak. Let the people below say it. After a long while, Geng Jingzhong coughed twice. And the crowd fell silent.

"The subordinates are willing to follow the prince, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and they will not give up!" Haijing Hai Dashao immediately stood up and said, his reaction was the fastest, and he was also very excited when he heard Geng Jingzhong's bold words. He knows much more about the situation at sea than others, after all, his Hai family was originally a sailor. He is now extremely confident in the strength of the Mawei Navy, such a powerful navy, such a huge fleet, just like that, are still developing. Even now, it can be said that there is no navy in the whole of Asia that can match the Mawei Navy.

If it weren't for the fact that its own strength was not enough in the past few years, and the timing was not right, and it could not have provoked too many enemies at the same time, otherwise, it would have begun to dominate the East Asian seas a long time ago. Now Europe is about to start to mess up again, and the strength of the Mawei Navy is enough, and it is their luck that the Dutch fled back before, otherwise, it is not impossible to destroy these two Dutch formations.

"The subordinates are willing to follow the prince, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and they will not give up!" Other officials, big and small, also stood up and said in unison.

"Well, with that, I'm relieved. As long as we work together, this Southeast Asia is our world. I think you also know a little bit about what kind of person this king is. In short, whoever follows this king, this king will never treat him badly, but whoever chooses to be the enemy of this king, this king will never be soft! Geng Jingzhong said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and at the same time waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down. Brother Li, announce the appointment! ”

After more than four months of observation and evaluation since the early appointment of these New Luzon officials, Li Guangdi has also sorted out a list of lists. A few years ago, Li Guangdi sent a copy to Geng Jingzhong along with the merchant ship, and yesterday the two discussed it for another afternoon before finalizing the current list. The management system on the Luzon side is different from that on the mainland. Although Fujian is Geng Jingzhong's territory and his old nest, it cannot change the structure of the government at will. But here in Luzon, he can do whatever he wants.

The Mawei Army is no longer the old system, so the administrative system on the Luzon side should also change. As for the administrative system, Geng Jingzhong certainly knows the whole set of systems of the later New China. However, the system of the new China is not all applicable to the current era and the situation in Luzon at this moment, just as Mao said in the early 20th century, everything must be in line with China's national conditions. What is now on Geng Jingzhong's side is to echo the situation of this era, so the new administrative system on Luzon's side has also been changed at this moment.

With such a large area of Luzon Island, it is almost equivalent to the entire Fujian Province, so a Luzon governor was set up here to oversee the affairs of the whole Luzon, which is different from the current governor on the mainland, and has less power, which is equivalent to the secretary of the provincial party committee in later generations. Under the Governor of Luzon, there were also lieutenant governors, governors, and deputy governors, plus a commander of the naval fleet stationed in Manila Bay, Luzon, to form a five-member Standing Committee. It is also the province that is equivalent to the Hereafter. Often. Committee, but there are only five members.

In general, the army of Luzon does not interfere in administrative matters, only encountering heavy incidents. For example, the suppression of rebellious natives and other rebellions will lead to the dispatch of troops. Other times. The presence of this fleet commander on the Standing Committee as an observer is just an observer. Local security management, there are special police. The Inspectorate to manage. The above five members of the Standing Committee are the highest, and each has its own responsibilities.

Geng Jingzhong was ready to rely on civil servants in his previous life, but the civil service exam was too difficult, and the interview level would brush off all the unrelated interviewers, but Geng Jingzhong still studied the entire Chinese control system. In fact, I don't specialize in research, but I can get an idea just by watching the news every day.

The national civil servant level in our country is divided into 15 levels, and the corresponding relationship between the position and the level is as follows: (1) State. Business. General Hospital. Science: Level 1; (2) State Affairs. Vice-President. Total. Reason. State. Members: 2nd to 3rd Grade; (3) Ministry. Provincial-level positions: three to four levels; (4) Ministry. Provincial-level deputy, provincial-level deputy: level 4 to 5; (5) Division. Grade-level full-time, department-level full-headed, inspector: level 5 to 7; (6) Division. Rank of deputy, hall. Deputy position, assistant patrol. Inspectors: Grades 6 to 8; (7) Division. Grade-level full-time, county-level full-time, researcher: level 7 to 10; (8) Division-level deputies and county-level deputies. Assistant Investigator: Grades 8 to 11; (9) Section-level and township-level positions. Principal Clerk: Grade 9 to 12; (10) Section-level deputies, township-level deputies, deputy chief clerks: 9-13 levels; (11) Section members: grades 9 to 14; (12) Clerks: grades 10 to 15.

According to the rank, there is really no big difference from the current official position system, and it is relatively simple to change it. Correct. Provincial. The cadres are roughly equivalent to the current governors and political envoys, and they are from the second grade; Vice-Provincial. The level of cadres is roughly equivalent to the current inspection envoy, which is the third grade; The department-level cadres are roughly equivalent to the current prefect, which is from the fourth grade; The deputy department-level cadres are roughly equivalent to the current Tongzhi, which is the fifth grade; The department-level cadres are roughly equivalent to the current Zhixian County, which is the seventh grade; The deputy department-level cadres are roughly equivalent to the current county officials, and they are the eighth grade.

However, in the former Ming Dynasty and the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, a local county magistrate or prefect held absolute rights, and the following functions were not called officials but officials, and now in the new system on Luzon Island, there are more department-level units and bureau-level units. Under the Governor's Palace, the Department of Education, the Police, and the Governor's Office were set up directly under the Governor's Palace The Procuratorate, the Taxation Department, the Inspection Department, the Agriculture Department, and the new General Administration of Customs, because the number of immigrants is not very large, all the immigrants are concentrated in the north of the land with an area of only 200 square kilometers, which is just an ordinary county in the later New China, so it is relatively easy to manage.

In fact, with the exception of the newly established General Administration of Customs, the other departments have been established a few months ago, but they have not yet established a formal name. The Department of Agriculture specially arranges the grain planting of immigrants, the Department of Education is responsible for organizing the children to read and read, the Inspection Department is the group of people under the command of Li Jing, and the most idle is the Tax Department.

Although the number of institutions at all levels is a little smaller, administrative organs have been set up at the county, town, village, and group levels, and they have gradually begun to change. For example, the police. The Inspectorate was transformed from a 1,000-man army and came under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office. The number of 1,000 people manages more than 300,000 immigrants, although the number is a little less, but it is enough to supplement the original family guard force into it, and disperse it to form county police. The procuratorate and the town's police station maintain the stability of hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

"Xu Shan!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Appoint you as the governor of Luzon to oversee the affairs of all Luzon!"

"Command!"

"Sea view!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Appoint you as the governor of Luzon and preside over the affairs of Luzon!"

"Li Jing!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Appoint you as the head of the inspection department, inspect the yamen at all levels, and you can directly report to the palace in writing!"

This appointment lasted for half an hour in total, and more than 100 officials, large and small, were appointed, the youngest being the mayors of various towns. Whoever was named was overjoyed, and their faces flushed, this time it was not a temporary position, but a real appointment. Even if some of them are demoted to a little position, they are happy in their hearts, after all, they were not officials before, but now they have really become officials! Although the current division of duties and powers is very detailed, it will take some time for them to be able to take on it immediately. But as long as the division of authority is clear and the division of responsibilities is clear, it will not take too long for the people below to become familiar with it.

"Well, in the last few months, quite a few institutions have already been up and running, and now they are just a little bit changed from the original. Hehe, careful people have found out that some of these people have been promoted, but there are also many people who have been demoted. I have a record of the results of the assessment, and you know it yourself. The prince has already given orders, and those who are capable are those who are mediocre. What the prince wants is a cadre who can really do things, not Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper. With the current assessment mechanism, as long as you have the ability, you will be the governor of a province in a few years, if you don't have the ability, then you can only ask to leave! Li Guangdi finished reading the long list in his hand, and then said sternly. (To be continued......)
