[I have something to do today, I'm busy, I'll update a chapter first, and I'll make up for it tomorrow.] 】

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Ming army occupied Manila and quickly blocked the news of Manila, allowing them to enter but not to leave.

The Spanish army, which was thousands of miles away, did not get any news about it, and kept desperately fighting the Dutch, unaware that the lair had been destroyed.

The war in Batavia entered its most brutal stage, and several coalition forces fought for the huge wealth in Batavia, so they all tried their best to attack the city.

There are a lot of casualties every day, especially among civilians, but both sides are unaware that this is a trap, regardless of the cost.

From beginning to end, the chaos in Southeast Asia was planned by Deng Haonan. Now, Daming has begun to make moves against the Philippines, while Southeast Asian countries are still fighting each other.

Regardless of whether they fight to the death, the new governor of Luzon, Zhao Chuanfeng, has forced Fernando to agree to a smooth handover of the entire Philippines to the Ming Dynasty. In exchange, Governor Fernando's family and all Spanish prisoners were released.

The Philippines pays 12 million Spanish dollars a year, not including the share that is apportioned to the Filipino tribal leaders. Fernando looted a lot of people's fat and ointment, and the plundering of the Spanish colonists was insane. In the basement of the Governor's Palace, gold, silver, and rare treasures are piled up, dazzling to see.

In addition to a large number of invaluable treasures, the real money and silver are as high as 100 million silver dollars, and Fernando's own small treasury alone is worth 30 million silver dollars.

"These are all plundered by the Spaniards in Luzon over the years, and looking at these things, you can know how greedy they are"

Zhao Chuanfeng accompanied Huang Dahai, who came from Taiwan Mansion, to visit the vault of the Governor's Palace.

"All the treasure is filled with blood"

Huang Dahai came to Manila to help Zhao Chuanfeng take over Luzon, and at the same time brought the Taiwan government's policy program and reform measures over the past few years to Luzon for implementation.

Because Luzon is a colony, unlike the Ming Dynasty, Deng Haonan doesn't care about any resistance, and can rest assured that he can boldly implement the New Deal reform. Any resistance in the face of the New Deal will be ruthlessly destroyed.

Looking at these scavenged people's fat and ointment, Huang Dahai shook his head helplessly and said: "Although the Luzon Tu people are not my race, but with so many treasures, I don't know how many people's blood and sweat have been paid."

Huang Dahai said in disguise that the Spaniards were cruel, but in Zhao Chuanfeng's eyes, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Spaniards. Since ancient times, China has said that the people are prosperous and the people are suffering, and this is for the country. It would be a different matter if the rise of the state was based on the suffering of the common people of foreign countries.

The colonial plunder of the Spanish Empire was not wrong in Zhao Chuanfeng's view, and there was nothing wrong with either you or I lived between different races.

"When the Spaniards slaughtered the Han people in Manila, the Turks in Luzon were also accomplices, and the old man remembered this account."

Huang Dahai was speechless for a moment, and he was equally indignant when he thought of those things.

"Now that you're the Governor, what are you going to do?"

"Those who resist the colonial rule of the Celestial Empire must die"

Zhao Chuanfeng said fiercely, looking at his expression, he was obviously very excited.

"The prince has explained that Luzon will maintain the existing policy of the Spaniards, and at the same time require that all official languages be replaced by Chinese. For the Tu tribes in Luzon, the prince has already issued an order to the garrison that he will make every effort to wipe out the local Tu tribes in Luzon, and will not allow Luzon to have a local Tu regime"

The Spanish conquest of Luzon did not rely solely on force, as the Spanish army was not large enough to control the hundreds of thousands of islands in Luzon and the tens of millions of Luzon natives. Therefore, the Spanish government adopted a policy of directly controlling the main towns of Luzon and jointly controlling the small and medium-sized towns with the local Tu tribal leaders, and exercising nominal rule over the core areas of the Tu tribes.

It was because of this policy that the Spaniards quickly took control of all of Luzon without encountering massive resistance.

This policy lasted for half a century, and the Spaniards waited until the population of the Philippines reached 500,000 before they fully suppressed the Filipino indigenous people and finally eliminated all resistance in the Philippines by force.

The Spaniards came from afar, and because the Spaniards are of the white race, and the yellow race of the Philippines belong to two different races, so the gap is too strong, and the small number of people is the reason why this kind of soft policy is adopted.

However, Da Ming is different. There is no difference in skin color, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty on Luzon has been very great since ancient times, and the prestige accumulated over hundreds of years is much stronger than that of the Spaniards. At the same time, it is also the most important. The Ming territory was close at hand, and the Ming army was stronger in number and combat effectiveness than the Spaniards, so it became possible to conquer the Philippines by force. And there was no need for the Spaniards' policy of softness.

Of course, the most important thing is. Deng Haonan did not plan to expand the land so much, and in the era of inconvenient transportation, it was cumbersome to have too much land. Deng Haonan only wants to regard the Philippines as a colony, and after a few hundred years, even if the Philippines becomes independent, he will always be a servant of the Ming Dynasty.

Another advantage of making Luzon a colony is that it can be colonized and plundered, and the wealth of Luzon can be transported back to the Ming Dynasty and accumulated into the Ming Dynasty's own national strength.

Because, at this time, the West was in the ascendant stage of capitalism. The overall industrial capacity of the Ming Dynasty was too poor, and although the total amount of capitalist primitive accumulation was much higher than that of any Western country, the territory was too vast and the population was too large, and the average capitalist primitive accumulation was too low.

Whether a country is really strong or not depends not on the total amount, but on the per capita accumulation. For this reason, Deng Haonan did not want the densely populated Luzon to become a burden to the Ming Dynasty, so he could only make Luzon a subsidiary colony of the Ming Dynasty.

While the colonization plundered Luzon's wealth, Luzon's population of more than 10 million was a huge consumer market. If Deng Haonan wants to strengthen the country, he must go through capitalist industry, so the products of the Ming Dynasty will be sold to the outside world, and Luzon is the best product sales market. The Luzon people will never be able to produce industrial products by themselves, and can only rely on imports from the Ming Dynasty, becoming the dumping ground for industrial products in the future of the Ming Dynasty, and forever becoming the economic vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

After news of Manila's change of ownership was blocked for a week, the Ming army finally began a full-scale military operation. Following Huang Dahai from Taiwan, 100,000 armed police officers arrived in Manila, most of them from Taiwan, Guangdong, and Fujian. Their task was to follow behind the Ming army's combat troops, and whenever the army captured a town, they then took over the security of the town and protected the officials who took office in the town.

There were many Turkish forces in Luzon, and there were no less than dozens of them, large and small. The largest of these are the three forces. They are the remnants of the Lesser Luzon state in Luzon, the Awa Tu in the Apo Mountains in Mindanao, and the Sama Tu on Sama Island with the largest power.

The indigenous forces of Luzon had about 750,000 militias of various armies, but none of them had any firearms, only cold weapons such as broadswords and spears. The Turks only relied on their geographical advantages to fight against the Spaniards, and did not have much combat effectiveness, but because the number of Spanish immigrants was too small, they did not take military action.

Each of the three largest forces has an army of tens of thousands of men. Of course, their army cannot be called an army strictly speaking, but can only be called a local security regiment, which is vulnerable in regular combat.

And, of course, there's the Kokod Group, the largest pirate gang in the Philippines, which is also one of the Pacific Fleet's problems of the century.

The Ming army was ordered to eliminate a single reliant, or a threatening force, to ensure the absolute rule of the Ming over Luzon. Therefore, when the Ming army was defeated in Luzon, when passing through San Diego, it was deceived and ambushed by the local Turks, resulting in the death of Major Chen Jie, chief of staff of the third division and third regiment of the Ming army's lancers, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed......

This was the highest-ranking officer to have died since the Ming army was dispatched, and it immediately touched the headquarters of the Luzon Dispatch Army. After Xie Kun, the commander of the third regiment, learned of the situation, he quickly turned around and turned back to Santiago. After learning that the chief of staff was killed by the locals, Xie Kun, who was carried away by anger, immediately ordered the three regiments to launch a military retaliation.

After a day and a night of slaughtering the city, more than 20,000 people in Santiago were slaughtered, and finally Xie Kun ordered Santiago to be burned to cover up the traces of the massacre.

The news reached the Luzon Dispatch Army Command, and the Inspectorate recalled Xie Kun to investigate the San Diego incident. Because the officers and men of the Third Regiment were tight-lipped, the Inspectorate failed to grasp the evidence for the prosecution of Lieutenant Colonel Chen Kun. Because during the war, he fought in the colonies, and some officers of the final dispatch command believed that the military regulations and laws during the civil war were not suitable for the Luzon region, and demanded that Chen Kun be acquitted.

The Dispatch Command court had no evidence to prosecute Chen Kun, so he was detained for two hours and released.

Huang Dahai consulted with Zhao Chuanfeng about this matter, and Zhao Chuanfeng insisted that Chen Kun had done the right thing, and immediately convened a meeting of the Governor's Palace, promulgating a provision that allowed the army to destroy the enemy with potential threats, which actually allowed the army to shoot the Turkish people, making it legal for the army to shoot the Tu people in Luzon.

On 30 November, the Luzon Dispatch Army Command issued a new Luzon operational doctrine in accordance with the requirements of the new Luzon regulations, and no longer regarded the Luzon Tu people as a group of people equal to the Han Chinese. In this way, with the strong support of Zhao Chuanfeng, he acquiesced in the massacre of the Ming army.

The promulgation of the new regulations led to a large-scale reduction in casualties and non-combat attrition during the Ming army's operations. However, if the Ming army considered a threat, they could kill them, so that the Turkish rebels could no longer stay among the common people, and there was nowhere to hide. The bloody conquest caused heavy casualties to the Turkish rebels, and the white terror made civilians dare not help the Turkish rebels anymore.

In December of the first year of Tongzhi, the Ming army and navy jointly dispatched to eliminate the army led by Kakota, the son of Suleiman, the largest Turkish force in Luzon, near Monte, and annihilated more than 40,000 enemies, and staged the Monte Massacre again, with 80,000 civilians being bloodbathed. The entire territory of Luzon was occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

The news was reported to the Luzon Dispatch Army Headquarters at every moment and then sent back to Beijing.

Deng Haonan frowned at this kind of thing at first, but soon acquiesced. Because he knew that the rapid revival of the dynasty and catching up with the Western powers could only take this bloody road of foreign expansion.

In the first month of the second year of Tongzhi, the Ming army advanced all the way to the south, and successively captured the main towns of Kalamba, Tacloban, Bakolod, and Xuanwu. The battle in these major towns was largely free, as the Spaniards were unable to defend them, and most of them surrendered outright, so the Ming army's combat time was spent on the march.

The battle in Luzon was, of course, time-consuming, full of islands, and the Ming army disembarked from the battleships to fight, and then boarded the ships and marched to the next island to fight.

There are countless islands in Luzon, and the Ming army can only pick the islands where the big towns are located, as well as the islands where some large Turkish forces are located, and the smaller secondary islands will be handed over to the local armed police in the future.

On 5 February, the Ming army set foot on Mindanao. The largest indigenous forces in Mindanao are in the mountains, hiding in the Apo Mountains.

The Ming army spent a lot of effort to finally buy off some local pro-Chinese tribal leaders, and with their cooperation, Li Yingwai defeated the Awatu tribe in one fell swoop.

Of course, a mass massacre and looting was inevitable. The difference is that this time it was no longer the Ming army looting alone, but some pro-Chinese Turkish tribes joined in the looting and massacre. The contradictions between them, the local Turks, are very great, even greater than the contradictions between the Ming and Luzon Turks who invaded and were invaded.

Seeing the cruel methods of these local Turks slaughtering other Turks, the Ming soldiers felt ashamed and frightened.

Since then, the Luzon Dispatch Command has changed its tactics. Coerced and lured the leaders of the Turkish tribes in various parts of Luzon to form an army with the Ming army as the main force and the pro-Chinese Tu people as the servant army. The servant army served as cannon fodder in front, and the Ming army followed behind to clean up the mess. Of course, the dividends have to be the Ming army.

With the addition of the Turks, the progress of the Ming army to the south to occupy the entire territory of the Philippines was greatly advanced.

In May of the second year of Tongzhi, the Ming navy and army forced the last resistance of the enemy, the combined forces of the Sama and Abo people, about 70,000 Turkish resistance troops, to the sea south of Santos.

The leader of Apo refused to surrender, and the commander of the Ming army ordered a general attack on 7 May after three unsuccessful attempts to persuade him to surrender. Under the fierce bombardment of the artillery of the Ming army and the naval artillery of the navy, the Tu people suddenly collapsed, and then the Ming cavalry and the Tu servant army rushed to kill and completely annihilated this enemy army.

On May 8 of the second year of Tongzhi, the Ming army occupied the southernmost point of the Philippine Islands, and the entire territory of Luzon became a colony of the Ming Empire.

The next day, the headquarters of the Luzon Dispatch Army officially reported to the Central Committee, and the Luzon War ended.

Of course, the Pacific Fleet, in order to prepare for war against the Dutch fleet, postponed its plan to eliminate the Kokod pirate gang.

Following the end of the Luzon War, the new policies of the Governor's Office of Luzon began to be decentralized to the whole of Luzon. Due to the many denominations of Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and Catholicism, the native Luzon people could not unite at all. With the defeat of all the Turkish resistances, Luzon chose to submit under the oppressive rule of the Ming army and the Turkish servant army. In this way, the decrees of the Governor's Office of Luzon were able to flow freely throughout the country.

Regarding Zhao Chuanfeng's appointment as the governor of Luzon, Deng Haonan was still a little hesitant before, because this would make people think that he was nepotism. But now it seems that Zhao Chuanfeng still has a hand in Luzon.

Brutal news on the battlefields of Luzon was blocked, just as Westerners refused to admit to their own people how bloody they were outside. Fortunately, Deng Haonan did not regard Luzon as a land, but a colony, so Deng Haonan's own guilt was not strong.

Zhao Chuanfeng has a geographical advantage in Luzon, Deng Haonan is relieved to use him for this, but he has to continue to give him advice, and Luzon has to be managed in accordance with Deng Haonan's will in the general direction.

Administratively, two-thirds of the Luzon Chinese led by Zhao Chuanfeng were served, and the rest were served by officials dispatched by the central government of the Ming Dynasty. Completely squeeze out the local Turks in Luzon and prevent them from becoming government officials.

Of course, this restriction is only temporary.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the Han people cannot rely entirely on the Han people to rule the Luzon natives, and while deterring by force, they must also leave some living space for the other party.

Endless war is not what Deng Haonan wants to see, so the tactics of sticks in the left hand and candy in the right hand are still the mainstream.

The Luzon natives did not know Chinese and could not be government civil servants, which forced the local natives who wanted to befriend the Han people to learn Chinese. And when they become civil servants, they are basically slaves and scratching teeth of Han people.

Of course, the colonial rule of Luzon by the Ming Dynasty still needs to be peaceful.

During the more than 20 years of Spanish occupation of Luzon, the common people in the territory were in full swing. After Zhao Chuanfeng became the governor of Luzon, in accordance with Deng Haonan's instruction of "the key to governing the country, do not first calm the people", the mistreatment of the Tu people in Luzon by the Spaniards was the source of the trouble, so it was stipulated that all Tu officials and Tu people in Luzon, even if they had dealings with the Turkish rebels in the past, were in the past and would not be investigated. In this way, many potential enemies disappear.

Zhao Chuanfeng strictly followed Deng Haonan's orders, but he was also a follower of the supremacy of the Great Khan. After all, he is a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and he has a very strong idea of the first-class ethnic group of the Han people.

For this reason, Zhao Chuanfeng was very strict in dividing the ethnic hierarchy. The Han people were the first class, followed by the people of non-Ming colonial countries, and the third class and later were the Luzon people. However, in terms of trial and service, the Luzon people are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the pro-Chinese rank is higher than that of the anti-Chinese.

The war ended, and all parts of Luzon returned to normal. Therefore, Zhao Chuanfeng only issued an order at this time that the army and police should not disturb the people. It is forbidden to arbitrarily take the property of the Turkish people and the cattle, sheep, chickens, and pigs they raise.

Economically, Zhao Chuanfeng sent all the prisoners of war captured by the army to work in gold mines in the northern suburbs of Manila.

The Manila gold mining plant was an important source of money for the Spaniards in the Philippines. Luzon is rich in gold, especially near Manila, where there are hundreds of large and small gold mines, all of which are controlled by the Spaniards.

The largest of these mines is in the Dara Mountains, 400 miles north of Manila, where there are natural gold deposits and a considerable amount of dog's head gold.

In this era, although the technology for refining gold has become more mature, miners are still more inclined to mine natural gold. Because there are too many kinds of slag in other gold mines, refining is more time-consuming and laborious, and most gold miners disdain.

Among the natural gold, sand gold is too complicated, and gold panning also consumes manpower and material resources. Therefore, among the natural gold, the dog's head metal is the best choice.

Doghead gold is a naturally produced, impure in texture, large in grain and irregular in shape. It is usually composed of natural gold, quartz, and other mineral aggregates. Some people call it dog head gold because of its resemblance to a dog's head. Some people call it horseshoe gold because of its resemblance to a horse's hoof; However, most of them commonly refer to this natural nugget as dog's head gold.

Doghead gold is scarcely distributed in the world and is not easy to obtain, but because of its high value, it is regarded as a treasure among treasures. Finding the dog's head gold often has a certain degree of chance, and once the dog's head gold is found, it often causes a social sensation. In the middle of the 19th century, a carpenter picked up a piece of dog's head gold weighing 32kg on the side of the road on the West Coast of the United States, and the news spread, and people flocked here to dig for gold, forming a gold search craze. After 50 years of gold rushing, a new San Francisco city emerged. An Australian caravan was overturned by rocks while passing through a gold mining area, and when it got out of the car, it turned out to be a huge dog's head gold, weighing 77.6kg. Finding the dog's head gold can obtain a considerable amount of wealth, so it has also become a symbol of human blessing.

Of course, there are only three pieces of doghead gold in Manila, which are not large, about a dozen kilograms. However, it was precisely because of the appearance of dog's head gold that the people of Manila began a gold rush, which led to the discovery of a large number of natural gold mines around Manila, thus creating the development of Manila City.

Zhao Chuanfeng confiscated all the gold mines, which was a gift as a victor, so the Spaniards were helpless.

These gold mines can extract about 100,000 taels of gold every year, and Zhao Chuanfeng deliberately used these gold as a gift to Deng Haonan every year to win some status for his daughter in the Liao Palace.

After the war, Zhao Chuanfeng began the census. As a result, the population of Luzon had dropped to about 7 million by the census. However, there are less than 300,000 Chinese in Luzon, which is not enough to control the Luzon people. For this reason, Zhao Chuanfeng made a twist and asked Deng Haonan to approve the immigration of 700,000 Chinese to Luzon.

Huang Dahai stayed in Luzon for more than half a year, helping Zhao Chuanfeng handle the military and political affairs of Luzon. As Zhao Chuanfeng can complete the daily affairs of Luzon independently, Huang Dahai will also leave for Beijing to report to Deng Haonan in person.

However, Zhao Chuanfeng also wanted to go to Beijing, in addition to the fact that he needed to go to Beijing to report on his work as the first governor of Luzon, he also wanted to see how his daughter's life was in the Liao Palace. Of course, what is more important for Zhao Chuanfeng is that he wants to personally escort the treasure into Beijing and show his face in front of the hundred officials of the Celestial Empire.

Since Luzon was a colony, the task of the governor of Luzon was to plunder the treasures of the Ming government. After Zhao Chuanfeng took over Luzon, from the Doge's Palace, Fernando's small treasury, the gold mines of the Spanish merchants, and the gold and silver treasures plundered by the Ming army throughout Luzon, in addition to the necessary dividends and rewards, there were still gold and silver worth 230 million silver dollars, as well as invaluable treasures, which were loaded into twelve large ships and sent to Beijing.
