Negotiations solved the problem, but the Spaniards forgot the timing.

Now that the Ming army has an absolute advantage, and the city of Manila is conquered, it is only a matter of time, or a very short time, who will negotiate with you?

Soon, the missionary Fernando who had been sent out returned. The Ming army did have a condition, that is, to ask the Spaniards to surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, the city will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be left.

At the same time, the rocket forces fired a round of rockets into the city as a deterrent.

Dozens of rockets exploded one after another in the city, causing great panic among the Spaniards in the city. Although the casualties were not large, the psychological deterrence was not small.

Is this still the gentle and elegant Celestial Empire? How can it be more brutal and murderous than we are?

Dasmarrina remembers well that the Ming government worked with the Spaniards to eliminate the pirate Lin Feng, who had invaded Luzon and occupied a piece of land.

Dasmarriner also clearly remembers that the Ming government only sent a boastful letter about the massacre of the Chinese in Luzon, which may have been a little intimidating.

But Dasmarrina forgot that the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Youxiao, not Wanli. It is a time-traveler with the memories and thoughts of later generations, not a feudal emperor who regards his overseas subjects as traitors.

When the Ming army attacked again with a round of intensive rocket attacks, the city of Manila fell into great chaos, and Dasmarrina, who was surrounded by a group of Spaniards, finally gave the order to surrender.

But he, and the Spaniards who were desperate for their lives, would not have thought that their lives were doomed, but slightly delayed.

When he can't surrender, Xiyi will pay attention to etiquette, what ransom to exchange for prisoners; When they have the upper hand, they ignore the cries of the weak, and the old, weak, women and children do not let go.

Surrender is surrender, and the Ming army did not promise anything; The beheading that followed was a judgment for the crimes committed by the Spaniards, and had nothing to do with the slaughter of prisoners or treachery.

The Spaniards drove out of the city in disarray, surrendered all their weapons, and were immediately taken into custody.

Even when men, women, and children went into battle together, the Spaniards did not have as many soldiers as the Ming army. No matter how stubbornly you resist, under the crushing of absolute strength, there will be no change.

The crusade against Luzon took several years of preparation, but it ended in one day. Surprising at the same time, but not at all surprising.

Of course, all the preparation is not wasted, and in training and cruising, the navy's seafaring experience and strength have grown rapidly.

In fact, according to the strength of the Ming army, as long as the army is sent ashore, it will already be victorious. This is a judgment that the emperor has had before, and it is not an exaggeration.

But to completely defeat or exterminate the Spaniards, and to expel them from Asia completely, it is necessary to take into account the protracted occupation and the possible retaliation of the Spaniards.

The emperor fought steadily, preferring to be a few years late than to move troops easily, so as to cause repetition.

After the conquest of Luzon, the navy and its marines were finally able to become another iron fist of the Ming Empire, which would crisscross Asia and expand its territory.

When Li Dan led a group of people into Manila City, he was still a little incredulous. Time is too fast, he was going to sit in the Doge's Palace tomorrow!

Of course, for today, Li Dan has also prepared a lot. A lot of talents were recruited, and some officials graduated from the government academy with the emperor's approval.

Li Dan is also wise, regardless of whether these officials are the eyes and ears of the emperor or not, it is best to accept them calmly. Not only was the emperor relieved, but he was not prepared to do anything rebellious.

"Xiyi is Xiyi, this governor's palace has been repaired ......" Yan Siqi accompanied and witnessed, how Luzon is stable, operated and governed, it is not his business, but the sour water has come up again.

Li Dan just glanced up, then lowered his head to look at the documents presented by the officials, and said: "The statistics of gold and silver treasures should be meticulous, and the court, the army, and the bonds should each have one, even if we keep less, we can't let others find fault." ”

According to the agreement with the emperor, the spoils of war would be divided into four parts, one each for the royal family, the bonds, the army, and Li Dan. In this way, the imperial court does not have to pay money, even if it gives Li Dan the first year's governance expenses.

Of course, the annual tax paid in the future is fixed, which is equivalent to Li Dan contracting Luzon.

In fact, Li Dan is not short of money, even if he doesn't give it to him, this exclusive contracting right will be grabbed.

Seeing that Li Dan ignored him, Yan Siqi shrugged his shoulders and continued to wander around the governor's mansion with his hands behind his back.

Hmph, when Lao Tzu becomes the governor, he will build a governor's palace that is a hundred times more magnificent than this. Yan Siqi kicked the wall and scoffed at the stone building.

"Hurry up and clean up, this is dirty and messy, it looks like a governor's palace. In these two days, the Chinese and the chieftains will be summoned to make them feel majestic and awe-inspiring. ”

"Immediately send someone to inform the Chinese in Luzon, especially Chen Sizhong, that they should come to the Governor's Mansion to accept the appointment of the new Governor. With this guts, don't you know that the Ming army has won a complete victory? ”

Li Guozhu's voice came, and the tone of command was very vigorous.

Yan Siqi walked over with his hands behind his back, Li Guozhu sent a few of his subordinates away, turned his head to see him, hurriedly accompanied him with a smile, and said, "Uncle Yan, how many people are the little nephew looking for to accompany you?" ”

"No, you're busy." Yan Siqi sighed in his heart, people are trembling, and the princes of one side are talking differently.

Li Guozhu still left a subordinate, followed Yan Siqi to listen to the instructions, and he hurried away.

Busy is busy, the night is already late, but Li Guozhu is so excited that he has no sleep. Although the governor of Luzon was not hereditary, the emperor hated this hereditary line the most. But the islands around Luzon are not difficult to manage.

And Luzon is the foundation of the development of the foundation, here is well run, the people are prosperous, the military is strong, and it is relatively easy to compete for a governor from the imperial court.

Overseas territories, one side of the princes, can be understood almost in this way. Li Guozhu is helping his father-in-law, and he is also helping himself, and he still knows this clearly.

After the four arrangements were completed, Li Guozhu came to his father-in-law's office. But seeing that the lights were bright, Li Dan was still flipping through various documents.

"Father, rest early!" Li Guozhu took the tea brought by his subordinates, walked to Li Dan's side, and gently persuaded: "Everything is complicated, don't be in a hurry." ”

After reading the document, Li Dan raised his head, took the tea offered by his son, and said with a smile: "When the Maritime Merchants Association was first established, my father was also busy like this. Well, I don't feel tired yet. ”

"Yes, my father is in good health and more energetic than before." Li Guozhu accompanied the smiling face, and sat down at the signal of his father-in-law.

Li Dan sipped the tea lightly and said slowly: "Those Spaniards, when the Chinese overseas Chinese leaders and the local chieftains are almost here, they will start to ask for beheading. ”

Li Guozhu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Isn't it handled by the army?" ”

Li Dan shook his head, looked at Yizi with deep meaning, and said, "Long live once asked me, dare to kill people and establish power?" ”

Li Guozhu straightened his posture, knowing that this was his father-in-law's words and deeds, and listened carefully.

Li Dan smiled and said: "It took two days for me to start playing to Banzai, and since Banzai appointed me as the governor of Luzon, it is natural to uphold justice for the Chinese in Luzon and severely punish the Spaniards who committed crimes in Luzon." ”
