On the fourth day of the 11th month of the 17th year of Wucheng, Lu Weijun, the governor of the Yamen Office of the affairs of the foreign countries, Lin Zhida, the protector of Luzon, Ma Ying, the privy councillor of the Privy Council, and other Chinese officials returned to Manila together with the Spanish minister Viscount Gamalot. At this time, Manila Bay was already full of warships of the Xia Army's naval divisions, and the Longxiang Army, the Shence Army, and the troops of the Long Island and Beibo Ni Domains transferred from Dongning and Dongboni and other places also forcibly landed on Mindoro Island, Panai Island, and Negros Island uninvited, trapping the overwhelmed Spaniards in the main colonies. Although the Spanish colonial government in Manila was indignant about this, under the deterrence of the Xia army's artillery, not only did it not dare to counterattack, but even did not dare to carry out the original plan to provoke the natives to make trouble.

While the colonists in Manila were panicking, the arrival of Viscount Gamalo reassured them. Although they were still indignant, now that Huaxia had paid the current price, the tormented upper echelons of the colonial government finally decided to leave. In this way, on the ninth day of November in the seventeenth year of Wucheng, the Spaniards officially handed over the whole of Luzon to Huaxia.

The transfer takes time, and the evacuation of overseas Chinese also takes time, and the Spaniards still lack enough ships and sailors, not to mention that some native Spaniards are unwilling to give up their plantations and mines in the Philippines and return to their hometown in Ibilisi to live a hard life, hoping to stay in Luzon, and some are neither willing to return to Spain nor the Philippines, which has become a Chinese territory, and just want to take the galleon next year to go to Xinda 6 to buy a new home, so the handover affairs are particularly chaotic for a while. The natives who learned that the Chinese Empire had replaced the Spanish lord as the local master were also at a loss, and there were riots and riots in many areas, which the Xia army unceremoniously suppressed, and at the same time deterred the Spanish colonial army, it also officially announced the change of local sovereignty.

By the beginning of December of that year, the Spaniards finally assembled a small fleet of fifteen large and small ships and ransomed a part of the prisoners of war of the Dutch East India Company from the Xia army out of their own pockets. In this way, under the leadership of the former Philippine Governor-General, Count Selassie Cepulas Don Plet, about 600 families of Spanish colonists left the Eastern colonies that had ruled for nearly 150 years with reluctance, unwillingness, frustration, chagrin, and resentment.

However, the matter was not completely over at this point, and there were still at least 4,000 Spanish families in the entire Philippine colony who continued to live or wait for the arrival of the next wave of migrant ships, so Viscount Gamalo requested that the Spanish legation be temporarily located in Manila in order to protect these Spaniards from harm.

In this regard, the receiving trio, who were busy setting up prefectures and counties and inspection departments so that the Chinese court could strengthen its rule over the Luzon Protectorate, did not want the Spanish minister to sit on the sidelines, so they tried to refuse Viscount Gammalo's request on the grounds that the Spanish legation had already ruled in Suncheon, but Viscount Gamalo then retreated and asked for the establishment of a Manila consulate to protect the expatriate. Considering Zheng Kezang's importance to the galleon trade, Lu Weijun had no choice but to ask the imperial court for a decree, and promised to temporarily leave Viscount Gamalo in Manila to observe affairs in the city of Manila until the imperial decree was issued.

Although Lu Weijun had sent someone to negotiate with Sulu in advance on the matter of demarcating the border between the two countries, and asked the Zhennan Navy Division to deter it by force, the Sulu people wishfully thought that Huaxia did not have the courage to fight against it, and they thought that they had won the Spaniards, not only did they not satisfy themselves with obtaining the entire Mindanao Island, but also took advantage of the chaos of the handover of Xia Xi to seize Camiguin Island, Siqui Hor Island, Dinagat, Siao and other southern islands of the Visayas, and tried to create a Great Sulu State in collusion with the natives of Bohol and Leyte.

"Didn't the Sulu people worship the Ming Dynasty back then? Why are you so arrogant now? Lin Zhida, who heard the news, said with some surprise. What's more, this dynasty first chased Hongyi and forced Spain to sell Lu Sou, this kind of prestige should be heard of by other countries, how can it be so reckless, this doesn't make sense, could it be that Spain Yi made a promise to it? ”

"It doesn't matter whether the Spanish Yi has colluded with him, the key is that the official has asked the Zhennan Navy Division to deter him before, how can he still take risks?" Lu Weijun was also a little puzzled. "Could it be that Sulu really wants to meet with my court?"

"It's not that I want to, but that I've done it." Ma Ying said coldly. "These small countries are all ordinary scoundrels, and they all want to take the opportunity to get a vote, if we don't care, we will be complacent, if I really send troops to fight, they will lose their worthless tattered family and flee into the mountains and forests, which is also a headache."

"This is true, fine porcelain and broken tiles collide, winning or losing is our loss." Lin Zhida nodded. "But forget it, I'm afraid that it will also damage the prestige of the country, even if it has to wait for an inch." Speaking of which, Lin Zhida didn't want to fight, after all, Luzon had just been handed over, and things were complicated, and he couldn't make a move in a short time, but he couldn't do it again, he lost Zheng Kezang's face, and when the time came, the Son of Heaven was angry, and he didn't do well. "Why don't you ask for a decree."

Lin Zhida is only the protector of the capital and not the protector of the capital, so the mobilization of troops and horses does require a request, but Ma Ying looked at Lu Weijun: "Lord Lu, Lord Lin, I am afraid that it will take more than three months to come and go, plus the transfer of troops, I must give the Sulu people more than half a year, once the Sulu people have stabilized their rule everywhere, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recapture it." ”

Lu Weijun involuntarily narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does Master Ma mean?" ”

"This official is ordered to temporarily lead the Privy Council of the South China Sea, and he can mobilize the Zhennan Navy Division and the surrounding Longxiang Army and Shence Army." The Zhennan Water Division, which was used to deter the Spaniards, had already returned to defense, but the Longxiang Army and Shence Army transferred to the Luzon Islands were still there, and Ma Ying could order them to fight south. "But the official doesn't want to mobilize them." Ma Ying's words confused Lu and Lin, so Ma Ying explained. "Luzon has just been handed over, and the Turks and Spain are unstable, so I don't know if there will be any more twists and turns." This is a good statement, after all, there have been cases of local unrest before. "So the Long Xiang Army and the Shence Army still have to calm down."

Judging from what Ma Ying originally wanted to express, he advocated a decisive battle, but he was not ready to call on the Longxiang army and the Shence army in Luzon, so how should this battle be fought and who should fight it, but Lin Zhida was completely confused: "Master Ma, forgive the official for being stupid, you better just say what to do." ”

"I think the sailors can assist in transportation and warfare at sea." Ma Ying looked at Lu Weijun thoughtfully. "As for the 6 battles for each island, aren't there still the three feudal domains of Long Island and the Northern Boni Domain?"

"Mobilize the forces of the vassal state?" Lin Zhida bared his teeth, and then turned his head to look at Lu Weijun. "Lord Lu, is it possible?"

Lu Weijun smiled bitterly at Ma Ying: "Master Ma, Brother Jiuying, you are putting me on the fire, there is no purpose to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the vassal country, but it is almost like rebellion, brother, I still need this head." ”

"Who said that adults do things without purpose?" Ma Ying asked rhetorically. "How did the soldiers and horses on Panay Island and Mindoro Island come here?"

"It was transferred by order of the Privy Council to receive Luzon." Lu Weijun's voice suddenly broke off when he said this, and then suddenly responded. "Master Ma, it turns out that you are waiting for me here."

Lin Zhida also understood that Ma Ying meant to arrange the soldiers and horses of the Changdao and Beibo Ni domains to go to the islands invaded by the Sulu people in the name of receiving, so naturally it could not be regarded as a disobedient transfer of troops, but the smart man was not Ma Ying alone, how could these feudal states be willing to transfer their troops and horses to fight when they knew that there were police.

"It's easy." Listening to Lin Zhida's question, Ma Ying replied calmly. "Lord Lu, has the imperial court already decided to hand over the south of the Baohe Sea to the Sulu people." Affirmed by Lu Weijun, Ma Ying smiled. "That's it, it's better to hand it over to the arrogant Sulu people, it's better to hand it over to a few internal domains, thinking about it, the inner domains dare not use their lives."

"Who's going to knock it down?" Lu Weijun said with some uncertainty. "The idea is good, but the imperial court has clear regulations on the territory of the inner domain, but I am afraid that it will not be able to expand arbitrarily, and the matter of sealing should not be decided by you and me, it must be attributed to the order, and the operation is also a matter of the Ministry of Rites, otherwise it is trespassing."

"Lord Lu, this official naturally knows that this is an arrogance, and the official of Gong Tiangong's past experience naturally can't help but wake up." Ma Ying replied seriously. "But if the internal feudal clan has merit, we can't hide it and not report it, as for how the imperial court will reward it in the future, how can the internal feudal clan blame you and me."

Lu Weijun and Lin Zhida are both experienced in the sea, although Ma Ying's plan is not clever, but it is not without merit, and the main thing is that this can barely be regarded as a conspiracy, as for the internal domains may be damaged by this, the three feudal domains of Long Island and the Northern Bo Ni Domains are all early feudal generals, and they are insignificant in the territory of Huaxia politics, but they can be tried.

"Use power urgently, so let's do it, I think the court is also fair in rewards and punishments." Lu Weijun finally made a decision. "But wait a minute, on the official's recital, the two adults must endorse it."

Lin Zhida and Ma Ying glanced at each other, and responded with a rather unlucky feeling: "That's natural ??????"

On December 18, the 17th year of Wucheng, the Xia Army's naval division began to be ordered to carry out artillery bombardment on Basilan Island, Helak Island, Cayenga Sulu Island, and some coastal towns on Mindanao; On the same day, Lu Weijun and Ma Ying jointly mobilized 800 soldiers from the three feudatories of Long Island and 6 Bohol Island; The next day, Lu and Ma mobilized 700 soldiers and horses of the Northern Bo Ni Domains into Sikihor Island; On January 17, the 18th year of Wucheng, Brunei, which was coerced by the Chinese side, also sent 1,500 soldiers and horses into the island of Dinagat to fight; And the kingdom of Deladi, which had just been entrusted to Dutch colonial rule, was also grateful to send 800 troops and horses into Si'ao to fight the Sulus; The First Sulu War broke out??????
