At 11 a.m. on 7 June, the merchant ship on which King Long Yufei and Queen Luo Yuhua of the Xinhua Kingdom were traveling arrived at the port of Manila, accompanied by more than 20 merchant ships, loaded with more than 6,000 officers and men of the Second Brigade of the Xinhua Army and all their equipment.
When Long Yufei and Luo Yuhua walked down the gangway, Niu Meng, commander of the First Brigade of the Xinhua Army, and Wei Yong, commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, hurriedly greeted them. Behind them were the heads of those big Chinese families.
"See Your Majesty, the Queen!" Niu Meng and Wei Yong led everyone to salute Long Yufei and Luo Yuhua. Everyone just bows, and they don't have to kneel down like that to their braids.
"Everyone's exempt! General Niu, General Wei, thank you for your hard work! Long Yufei said. This time, the Xinhua Army was able to win at a small cost, and the two of them can be said to have contributed a lot. In particular, letting the Spaniards and the natives merge with each other has effectively weakened the strength of the two sides, thus allowing the Xinhua Army to pick up a big advantage and kill two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty, this is what we should do!" Niu Meng and Wei Yong both hurriedly said.
Long Yufei nodded, Niu Meng and Wei Yong's exploits, there will naturally be rewards next. Long Yufei looked at the people who were following behind Niu Meng and Wei Yong. You don't need to guess Long Yufei to know the way. These people should be the principals of the big Chinese family. From the cautious smiles on their faces, Long Yufei knew that they were all a little apprehensive at the moment. It is estimated that these guys didn't expect the Xinhua Congress to develop so quickly!
"Your Majesty. These are the heads of several large Chinese families in Luzon! This is Zheng Qingyun, the head of the Zheng family! Wei Yong introduced Long Yufei!
"Grass man Zheng Qingyun greets His Majesty!" Zheng Qingyun fell to his knees all of a sudden and made a big salute to Long Yu. Although, Long Yufei is about the same age as his youngest son. However, Long Yufei is the lord of a country after all!
"Hurry up, please! Mr. Zheng, Xinhuaguo is not interested in this set! Long Yufei hurriedly said. Watching an old man kneel down to himself, Long Yufei always felt very tired in his heart, he was not one of those guys with a pig's tail behind his head.
Next, Wei Yong introduced several other family heads to Long Yufei, and they all saluted Long Yufei one by one. Merely. This time none of them knelt. After all, Long Yufei didn't like this, so naturally there was no need for them to be taboo!
"Everyone, from now on, you are the people of my new country! From now on, there will be no need for anyone to bully you. Your personal and property safety will be protected! However, all taxes that should be paid must be paid in accordance with the regulations. Anyone who wants to evade taxes will be severely punished! Long Yufei said to everyone seriously. These big Chinese families almost all play some clever tricks. When dealing with the Spaniards, Long Yufei can ignore it. But. If that's how they were going to deal with him, they wouldn't do it!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we promise to pay taxes according to the regulations!" Zheng Qingyun and the others patted their chests and reassured.
"Your Majesty. This is a small gift specially given by our Zheng family to celebrate the victory of His Majesty and the brave army. Please accept it under Your Majesty! Zheng Qingyun took out a gift slip from his arms.
Long Yufei took it and was dumbfounded. Boy. These big Chinese families are really rich and flowing! On the gift list, the names of the gifts presented by the Zheng family are listed, including various gemstones, pearl agate, etc., and the last one is even more satisfying to Long Yufei, a full five tons of gold! That's more than 200 Chinese dollars! If you include jewelry, the total value is at least between 2.5 million and 3 million Chinese dollars.
"Mr. Zheng, this gift is too valuable!" Long Yufei frowned.
"Your Majesty, this is a little bit of our Zheng family's heart, and please accept it. The Xinhua Army is fighting for the interests of all Chinese, and we have nothing else but to support the Xinhua Army in this regard! Zheng Qingyun hurriedly said.
Long Yufei hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I will take all the soldiers of the Xinhua Army to thank Mr. Zheng!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is a terrible old age!" Zheng Qingyun hurriedly excused himself, and his old face smiled as if it were a flower. He could see that Long Yufei's expression did not look like a fake, which also showed that the Zheng family had obtained Long Yufei's understanding. Although he paid so much wealth, it made him very painful, but it couldn't hurt the vitality of the Zheng family. As long as Long Yufei can get the support, the glory of the Zheng family is just around the corner!
Subsequently, the other heads of the family also presented their own gift lists. Coincidentally, at the end of the list, there are five tons of gold. These heads of several families have discussed, if it is really as Niu Meng said, preparing a hundred tons of gold, it is enough for several families to go bankrupt. So, everyone added five tons of gold to the end of the list. Now it seems that Long Yufei is very satisfied with the gifts they have prepared, which also makes them completely relieved.
At this time, if Long Yufei didn't understand what was going on, then he would really be a fool. He looked at Niu Meng and Wei Yong, and sure enough, he found a smile on their faces that couldn't be hidden. Zhilu said that all this was done by them. However, he was not prepared to say anything, which was very beneficial to him and Xinhuaguo. The total value of the gifts given by these large Chinese families is as high as more than 10 million Chinese dollars. For the current Xinhuaguo, it is undoubtedly a huge wealth. With this money, Xinhua can build more warships, guns, and arm more troops, so as to go further!
As for the rudeness of these family heads to Xinhua at the beginning, if Long Yufei continued to pursue it, it would be a bit petty. As long as they do not harm the interests of Xinhua in the future, Long Yufei does not mind continuing to support their development and growth. After all, the greater the power of the Chinese, the stronger the Xinhua Kingdom. As long as the military power is in the hands of Long Yufei, he is not afraid that these family masters will turn over the sky!
After that, Long Yufei and Luo Yuhua, accompanied by Niu Meng and Wei Yong, went to the Luzon Governor's Palace. From now on, this governor's palace will become Long Yufei's temporary palace. Although for such an emerging power as Xinhua, such a royal palace still seems a little simple. But Long Yufei didn't care, the strength of a country does not lie in how magnificent or extravagant the king's palace is, but in how strong the country's industrial strength is, and whether the country's army can win on the battlefield.
Soon, the carriage came to the outside of the Governor's Palace, and Long Yufei was quite satisfied with this small castle-like Governor's Palace, which was at least much better than the humble palace in Xinhua City. In addition, living in the castle ensures safety. The soldiers of the Guards can make the most tight defense according to the castle.
When I arrived at the Governor's Palace, it was almost noon. Niu Meng asked Long Yufei for instructions on whether to entertain the heads of these big Chinese families. After all, they had been bleeding profusely just now.
Long Yufei nodded, he didn't care about these vain, if he could win the real support of these big families through a meal, it would undoubtedly be the best. Sure enough, Long Yufei set up a banquet to entertain the heads of these big families, making them overjoyed. The Chinese are full of yearning and fear for power in their bones. Long Yufei, as the king of Xinhua, the most powerful person in this country, actually held a banquet to entertain them, which is simply a matter of glory for these family masters! One by one, their faces were flushed with excitement, and they patted their chests and swore to Long Yufei that in the future, they would definitely support the rule of Xinhua Kingdom, ask for money, and ask people to give people!
For their loyalty, Long Yufei is very satisfied. Xinhua had just wrested Luzon from the Spaniards, and there was still a lot of work to be done. With the help of these local snakes, all work will undoubtedly be carried out better.
After lunch, the heads of the house left the Governor's Palace. Long Yufei knew that the rule of the Xinhua Kingdom in Luzon could be regarded as stable. As long as the next Spanish revenge is defeated, then the position of Xinhua in Luzon and even the entire South Seas will be completely established!
"What about the Governor of Luzon? Where are you locked up? Long Yufei asked.
"Your Majesty, Governor of Luzon, Anthony. Pedro, and the Spaniards, are all in the barracks outside the city! Niu Meng said.
"Get him, I want to see him!" Long Yufei said.
"It's good, Your Majesty!" Niu Meng nodded.
Half an hour later, Long Yufei was in the office on the second floor of the Governor's Palace, and met the original owner here, Luzon Governor Anthony. Pedro. It's just that this was originally his office, and now it has become Long Yufei's study.
"Your Majesty the Governor, please be seated!" Long Yufei had a humble smile on his face, not at all proud and complacent.
But that's in Anthony. In the eyes of Governor Pedro, Long Yufei was completely pretending.
"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, wait! Luzon is only temporarily taken away by you! When the kingdom's army arrives, they will kill you all! We Spaniards are the rulers of this land, and we will come back! "Anthony. Governor Pedro roared inwardly. It's just that there is no expression on his face.
"I don't know if His Majesty the King of Ludao came to me, what's the matter?" Anthony. After Governor Pedro sat down, he asked directly. Although he was shocked by Long Yufei's youth, he was sure that Long Yufei would not kill him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been invited.
"Your Excellency the Governor, please come, the main thing is that I have some ideas and want to talk to you!" Long Yufei said with a smile. (To be continued......)
