Chapter 898: It is the greatest honor to be a Ming dog
The "Andalu incident" can be said to have been planned by someone Zhu.
These foreign devils have done so many immoral things, and it is also a scourge to keep them.
In Luzon, there is no shortage of labor in the Ming Dynasty, so they have no choice but to die!
Those "Chengguan Army", some time ago, helped Daming arrest and interrogate people, and their reputation has long been rotten, not only the Chinese hate, but also the natives.
Daming killed them, except for the Netherlands, Britain and Portugal, who protested, everyone else didn't know how happy they were!
The mass execution of 5,000 people, coupled with the killing of thousands of captives in one fell swoop, the horror of the Ming Emperor was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the entire indigenous people of Luzon were shocked and frightened.
The purpose of this operation is to avenge the Chinese, and Zhu Cihong's main purpose is to deter the natives and make them take the initiative to include them in the Ming Dynasty.
According to the practice of the Han dynasty, after sending troops to quell the rebellion, they would generally help the aborigines of the vassal state to establish a state and re-establish the suzerain-vassal relationship.
However, the Ming Dynasty never mentioned the establishment of the indigenous state, which made many indigenous leaders quite anxious, and secretly contacted the Netherlands, Britain, Portugal and other countries many times to ask them to mediate.
After this "big criminal case" and the "AndalΓΊ incident", the dreams of the natives who were still waiting on the sidelines, or hoping that the Spanish godfathers would fight back, finally broke down.
(For religious reasons, the indigenous people of Luzon are more inclined to Spain, and the influence of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines has continued into the 21st century, and 83% of the population of the Philippines is now Catholic.) οΌ
Sure enough, after the killing, many surviving indigenous leaders organized a group to meet Zhu Cihong and strongly demanded that Luzon be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty!
"We don't build the country anymore, and the resources belong to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Great Emperor, if you don't agree, we won't leave today!"
In the palace of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Cihong looked at the few indigenous leaders in front of him with a headache.
He patiently comforted: "Luzon has been a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and as a suzerain, I have the obligation to help you ......."
A touching-looking indigenous leader, Aji, said weakly: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, it is the greatest honor for us to be the dogs of the Ming Dynasty, unlike some wild dogs that run around without owners and are bullied!" β
Aji's weak words were unanimously approved by the other indigenous leaders, and some leaders with a tough attitude risked being presumptuous in front of the emperor and said solemnly: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you must agree, this matter is not negotiable!" β
The leader's words were so firm that people didn't know how to persuade them.
Zhu Cihong sighed and said, "Hey, why are you trying to force me? β
At this time, Zhu Cihong looked like an old emperor who was forced to abdicate, his expression was very helpless, and it was poignant to look at.
Dingwang Zhu Cijiong comforted him: "Your Majesty, looking at the hearts of the leaders of the fists of Akagi, you will agree." β
Zhu Cihong shook his head.
The leader, Aji, suddenly knelt down, and wept bitterly with a rich expression: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you are the sun shining on the heavens and the earth, but you can't watch the people of Luzon continue to live in darkness!" β
The other leaders also knelt down with a bang and shouted: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, your merits are immeasurable, just include Luzon in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, we are willing to be your most loyal servants!" β
Zhu Cihong sighed again, and said reluctantly: "Well, for the sake of the people of Luzon, I have no choice but to make an exception to include Luzon in the Ming Dynasty." β
His really embarrassing expression made King Ding and King Tang on the side almost laugh, but the facial expressions of the two were well controlled, and they also looked embarrassed.
Outside the palace of the Son of Heaven, several Luzon leaders walked side by side, chatting as they walked, all showing the excitement of winning the lottery.
Only Aji was worried, and he sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor is benevolent and righteous, for the sake of all the people in the world, he actually broke the Emperor Ming ancestral system, which is really admirable for his courage!" β
The other leader put away his smile and nodded, "I really don't know how much pressure His Majesty the Great Emperor will face when he goes back." β
"I can't care about this, we earned it anyway!"
"Yes, yes, we earned it!"
β.......β
From being a dog to being your own person, can you not make money?
......
The Philippine archipelago has more than 7,000 islands, but only 20 or 30 islands are inhabited by living people, and there are 13 major large islands, with Luzon being the largest.
Luzon Island is located in the northern part of the Philippine archipelago, with a coastline of more than 5,000 kilometers and many excellent bays, with a total area similar to that of Jiangsu Province, about 100,000 square kilometers, accounting for one-third of the total area of the Philippine archipelago.
After receiving the entire Philippine Islands, Zhu Cihong really lost, so much so that the land area of Daming increased by 300,000 square kilometers, which was really miserable!
The Philippines was named by the Spaniards, and the Chinese used to call Luzon Little Luzon and the Philippine Islands Greater Luzon.
Zhu Cihong, the "Emperor of Great Losses", first announced that the name of the Philippines, a rich Spanish colony, would be abolished, and Luzon would still be used as the place name of this region.
The Philippine archipelago was officially changed to Luzon, and Luzon is still Luzon, and the remaining thousands of islands, large and small, are all named according to ancient place names or re-named separately.
As for the city of Manila, Zhu Cihong changed it to Luzon City, as the capital of the Ming Luzon Province.
Fort Santiago, changed to the southern city, is the administrative seat of the southern capital.
This series of name changes marked the official change of sovereignty over the Luzon Islands.
It is not difficult to overthrow the Spanish colonial army, but the aftermath is complicated and very complicated, which is also an important reason why Zhu Cihong resolutely drove the Nanyang expedition.
If according to the urine sex before the Ming Dynasty, King Ding and King Tang are obviously more tender in terms of land receiving.
Even if they drove out the Spaniards, they would not be able to maximize the interests of the Ming in Nanyang.
Luzon is only half a month away from the Ming Dynasty, and its biggest role is to serve as a trade transit point for Europe and the Americas to the Ming Dynasty, and in the words of later generations, it is a logistics distribution center.
Zhu Cihong used all means to take Luzon with an iron heart, not only because of the geographical advantages here, but also because of the natural resources of the Luzon region.
Luzon is rich in mineral resources, not only has considerable reserves of iron ore and gold, but also has the most abundant copper resources.
In the past, the camp where the southern army was stationed was a large copper mining area in northern Luzon, and Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, also took a stake in the Royal Group, which operated several mining companies.
Daming copper resources are scarce, and all these years have been supported by copper mines in Luzon.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will build a railway, build this and that, and need more resources to supply, and taking Luzon is also a national strategy that the Ming Dynasty must carry out, and whoever opposes it is a fool.
The times have changed, and people's concepts have gradually changed, and the Ming officials, who were not pedantic in the first place, were more able to follow Zhu Cihong's strategy and conform to the tide of the world.
