As the saying goes, there are people who do the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money.

The Spaniards are not stupid, their homeland is thousands of miles away from Luzon, much farther than the Ming Dynasty, why would these people go thousands of miles to Luzon to cast a city, and stay for decades, do they have nothing to do?

As soon as I thought of this, everyone here pondered.

To tell the truth, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen or Han Yi who were present can all be said to be outstanding people of the moment, whether it is knowledge, experience or the ability to govern the country in today's Ming Dynasty, they are very good in today's Ming Dynasty, but they are limited by the limitations of the times, and they are not aware of some things, but once they are woken up, they will wake up immediately.

After a while, Han Yi said tentatively: "Unless those Spaniards can get high enough benefits in Luzon, otherwise they will definitely not be attached to it for decades." ”

"Lord Han is right!"

Yang Feng glanced at Han Yi with appreciation, and for the first time felt that this old troll was actually not stupid.

"The people of the world say that the expedition of the army is useless except for the labor and labor of the people, but they do not know that there is no useless land in this world, only useless people."

Speaking of this, Yang Feng's voice raised a few points: "Let's take Luzon as an example." ”

When it comes to Luzon, most people say that there is nothing of value except for sea fish, bananas and some fruits, but this is a big mistake. In addition to the abundance of fish and fruits, the Luzon people also produced rice.

Due to the hot climate in Luzon, their rice can even reach two or even three crops a year, if my Ming occupies Luzon, it can greatly alleviate the dilemma of food shortage in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Luzon is also rich in copper ore and gold mines, and if Luzon is included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty, Luzon's copper mines and gold can pour into Daming in large quantities, so that the shortage of gold and silver in Daming can be alleviated.

And one last point, why are there frequent outbreaks in Shaanxi and Shanxi?

It is because of the serious land annexation in the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of land has fallen into the hands of the landlords and gentry, so that hundreds of people have no land to grow and no food to eat. In view of this, we can move a large number of people from the Ming Dynasty to Luzon to relieve the pressure, not to mention that Luzon alone can accommodate hundreds or even tens of millions of people. ”

After Yang Feng's words were finished, there was silence in the entire imperial study, only the sound of rapid breathing.

After a while, Sun Chengzong's slightly trembling voice sounded.

"Jiang Ninghou, what you said is true?"

"Of course, what Ben Hou said is true, if Sun Ge doesn't believe it, just send someone to investigate." Yang Feng smiled, "Not to mention anything else, Fujian alone, more than 500,000 people have migrated to Taiwan in the past year, and I estimate that when the number of my Ming people in Taiwan reaches two million, no one will be able to snatch him away in the future."

The same is true in Luzon, when the number of Ming people in Luzon reaches more than five million, it will be difficult for Luzon not to become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. But having said that, it will take generations of perseverance. ”

After a while, Zhu Guozhen suddenly said faintly: "Marquis Jiangning, don't forget that Luzon is a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, and my Yongle Emperor also received Luzon envoys in the past. ”

"So what?" Yang Feng showed a sneering look on his face: "At this time and that time, didn't Zhu Ge Lao forget the evil things that the Luzon State did to the people of our dynasty in the past, hundreds of thousands of Ming people in Luzon were slaughtered by the Luzon people, why didn't the king of Luzon think that they were the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty at that time?" ”

Zhu Guozhen was silent, they were all people who had read poetry and books, and they were naturally clear about the things of the past.

Speaking of Luzon's massacre of the Chinese, it is divided into several times, except for the massacre in the Jiajing period, there are several more recent ones.

In 1603 (the 31st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), more than 23,000 Chinese people in Luzon were slaughtered, and only 300 Chinese merchants were spared.

Later, in 1609, more than 20,000 Chinese were murdered because Chinese merchants protested against excessive taxes, and only six years after the last massacre, 50,000 Chinese merchants were massacred by the Spaniards in Luzon in the Philippines.

What Zhu Guozhen didn't know was that in another time and space, in 1639 (the twelfth year of Ming Chongzhen), the Spaniards once again raised their butcher's knives against the Chinese, killing hundreds of thousands of Chinese this time, and the last massacre was in April 1662 (the sixteenth year of Yongli).

Counting the number of Chinese who died at the hands of the Spanish colonizers and Luzon was at least 6.7 million, it can be said that it is difficult to mention.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Feng arched his hand to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the so-called heavenly endowment is not taken, but it is to blame." Now the more than 20,000 troops of our Jiangning Army have annihilated all those Spaniards, and Cebu Island is still in the hands of our Jiangning Army.

We can rely on Cebu Island, Laoag, Apari and so on
