When Sa Zhenbing and Zhu Yuan were waiting for the arrival of the domestic troops in Manila, several Chinese people immediately rushed here, hoping to meet the supreme leader of the Chinese army. And for the sake of being Chinese, Sa Zhenbing and Zhu Yuan also met with him.

"General, my lord, we Zamboanga Chinese have been looking forward to Wang Shi for a long time! We Zamboanga Chinese, but we have been bullied by those local natives, we have to pay heavy taxes, and we Chinese have a hard time! So, please let the general call the shots for us! The Chinese man knelt down and said.

"Who are you, you speak slowly!" Sa Zhenbing said.

The man introduced himself and said, "I am a member of the Zamboanga Chinese family, and Zamboanga currently has tens of thousands of Chinese and is a gathering place for Chinese. After hundreds of years of development, we now have tens of thousands. And my name is Lin Yuan, and I am a member of the Lin family of Zamboanga Chinese. And we Zamboanga Chinese have always been bullied by those natives, and we were forced to pay heavy taxes to those natives, and then we had a hard time living as a people. We now have tens of thousands of Chinese hoping that the general will lead troops to liberate us, and then let us bathe in the blessings of the Taiwanese king. ”

And Sa Zhenbing listened to the words of this Chinese, and immediately complained in his heart: "You can't tell lies, at most half of your words are true, and nothing else is very credible!" ”

The Sa Zhen Ice Pit must be all old fritters, so naturally they won't all believe the words of this Chinese. However, seeing that everyone is overseas, and they can barely be regarded as old acquaintances in a foreign country, Sa Zhenbing is very dignified and does not stop him from speaking, so that they can finish speaking.

"General, we Zamboanga are currently a city in the Maguindanao Sultanate, but this city is already the world of our Chinese. However, we are threatened by some natives at any time, so we hope that the king will come and rescue us quickly. We have been looking forward to Wang Shi in Zamboanga for a long time, after the Taiwanese army went to occupy the island of Kalimantan in the South Seas, and we have been hoping that the Taiwanese army will come to help us. But we have not been able to wait for the king to come, and now we have finally waited for the king, but not long ago the king dared to go in the direction of Manila. And we immediately sailed over, but it did not occur to you, General, that your fleet was much faster than our wooden ships, and that we could not catch up. Hurrying and hurrying, it was only a few days after the general arrived in Manila. And we are looking forward to the general's reinforcements, hoping that the general will send reinforcements as soon as possible, and then let the Chinese people in Zamboanga be liberated. Lin Yuan said.

Only then did Sa Zhenbing know that there were also Chinese in the Philippines, and that there were actually Chinese living in this Philippine Zamboanga generation, which was something that Taiwan did not expect before. In the past, Taiwan was eyeing Manila, but now it did not expect that there were Chinese in this south. And according to the situation, there are actually independent countries in the south, which makes Sa Zhenbing very surprised. Doesn't the South, an independent country, belong to the Philippines? If it doesn't belong to the Philippines and is an independent country, then the next thing is trouble. Taiwan is only going to war with Spain, not against these independent countries, and if this happens, Taiwan may not be able to eat the whole of the Philippines.

"Are there any independent countries in the South?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

That Lin Yuan immediately explained, and Sa Zhenbing only then knew what was going on. In the southern part of the Philippines, it is actually a place beyond the jurisdiction of Spain. Many years earlier, the Spaniards had landed in Manila and gradually occupied much of the Philippines, but they had not been able to reach the south. Because there are two "big states" in the south, one is called the Sultanate of Sulu and the other is called the Sultanate of Maguindanao, and these two sultanates are once two large countries in this South Sea, with a population of millions.

Although the Spanish colonizers were powerful, they were not able to conquer these two sultanates. However, neither of the two sultanates was able to defeat the Spanish colonists, so they reached a compromise agreement that the Spaniards would be the rulers of the entire Philippines, which would include the two sultanates. In fact, however, the two Philippine sultanates had a high degree of autonomy and had their own armies, all but diplomatic power, which was denied by the Spaniards. However, because they were deprived of diplomatic rights and their strength was weak, no country in the world recognized these two sultanates. In fact, they all belong to the Philippines in name, which can be regarded as a compromise between the two sides.

"Since they nominally belong to the Philippines, it's much easier." Sa Zhenbing said.

These two sultanates are actually similar to Taiwan and the mainland, nominally belonging to the same place, but they have a very high degree of autonomy, so they seem to be an independent kingdom. And this reassures Taiwan, because they are not an independent country, but just the chieftain of the indigenous people of two colonies. And since they nominally belong to the Philippines, and the Philippines also belongs to the Spanish colonies, then Taiwan is at war with the Spaniards, and it is reasonable and legal to occupy this Philippines. And since they belong to the colonies of the Philippines, and they have not been recognized by the international community as these two sultanates, even if Taiwan destroys them, it will be natural and reasonable. At most, it is to destroy two indigenous chiefs in the international arena, which is not a big deal, after all, they are not a legitimate country!

"What do you want to do here?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

"We hope that you can clean up those natives, and then vent your anger for us Chinese!" Lin Yuan said.

"What do you really want to gain?" Zhu Yuan immediately scolded angrily.

After Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately licked his face and smiled: "Our little caution can't hide it from the two adults. We hope that the adults will help us defeat the Maguindanao Sultanate and the Sulu Sultanate, and then we Zamboanga We, as the leaders of the Zamboanga Chinese, the Lin family hope to become the king of the southern Philippines. We will be loyal to the king for generations to come, defend the south of the Philippines for the king, and ask for the king's canonization. I think Lord Wang will definitely be willing, because we Chinese are of the same culture and race, better than those natives, aren't we? ”

"Hmph, that's enough, needless to say. We can tell you accurately, we will never allow a second independent kingdom in Nanyang, and all the territories of Nanyang will be under the direct control of our Chinese government, and will not be canonized as in the past, so don't think about this idea. Zhu Yuan said.

"This ......" Lin Yuan was a little surprised.

Lin Yuan didn't expect that Wang Guorui would directly control Nanyang and would not allow any independent kingdom to survive. And Lin Yuan also speculated that Wang Guorui would tolerate the Lin family of Zamboanga, an independent kingdom? You must know that the Lin family is the leader of the Zamboanga Chinese and has always ruled the Chinese. And this time they hope to use Wang Guorui's army to go further, so that they can become the king of the southern Philippines. But now Wang Guorui does not allow this kind of independent kingdom to exist in Zài, and wants to directly control Zhanì Nanyang, which makes them speechless. If this continues, then I am afraid that an independent kingdom like the Lin family will disappear completely, because Wang Guorui will not allow this Lin family to continue to rule this place for generations. The current Taiwan, and even the future China, can only have one country, one government, and one leader. Well, although Lao Jiang's words are used to fool people, this is also necessary, especially in China. There are no two heavens and no two people, this is also a tradition in China since Qin Shi Huang, and it will never allow a country within a country, and all dynasties have aimed at the unification of national power. As for those countries that want to be in a corner of the country, they will all fail in the end. Therefore, Wang Guorui will not allow this, and Wang Guorui will not allow people like the Lin family to rule a place all year round. Perhaps Wang Guorui could allow the Lin family to join as officials, but he did not allow the Lin family to continue to rule this Zamboanga and become a country within a state.

"My lord, you still have to ask Lord Wang, our Lin family can ......" Lin Yuan still wanted to work hard, because they still didn't want to give up the right to rule this Zamboanga.

This is also the so-called principle that would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, Lin Yuan naturally didn't want his Zamboanga to be taken away, so he naturally wanted Sa Zhenbing to think about it more, after all, their Lin family finally gained the right to rule, and they couldn't lose it in their own generation, otherwise it would be a loss of the ancestral inheritance, and it would be a great disobedience to the ancestors.

"I don't need to ask, I don't dare to say anything else, but I can be sure that Lord Wang will not allow this. He can't allow our country to divide more than anyone else, you see? In order not to split, he can even hold on to the idea of becoming an emperor, but it is conceivable that he will never tolerate this, even if he himself will not be this sinner for the ages. So, which onion are you and want to split the country? Zhu Yuan sneered.

"Prepare immediately, let's go to war against the Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultanate of Maguindanao, since they are independent kingdoms, then let's take the southern part of the Philippines first!" Sa Zhenbing said.

Soon, the destroyer detachment of the navy immediately began to move, and then prepared to rush to the Sulu Sultanate and the Maguindanao Sultanate in the south with the troops of the East Borneo Military Region. (To be continued.) )
