Chapter 542: June 6
The whole of Manila was celebrating, but Yi Zhizhi wrote an excerpt of victory in the clean MalacaΓ±an Palace, and there was no shortage of nobles and nobles in the fleet, so it was not a good thing for people to take the lead, and after carefully reporting the battle of Manila and the negotiation and signing with the Spanish governor Joans, think about it, he took another excerpt.

The war in Luzon is now a foregone conclusion, but it is uncertain whether Spain will easily give up Luzon and whether it will raise troops to fight for Luzon.
At the same time, the provisional Governor's Office of Luzon will be established, and proclamations will be issued to reassure the people such as ethnic equality and respect for national customs, and the move of winning the hearts of the people of Luzon will be reported truthfully, and by the way, a plan will be put forward to launch land reform in Luzon, eliminate the Luzon aristocratic elite, and consolidate the rule in Luzon.
Finally, he implored Daoguang to issue an edict to actively encourage immigration to Luzon in order to enrich and develop Luzon, and after completely occupying and consolidating Nanyang, establish a province in Nanyang and set up prefectures and counties, so as to formally incorporate the Nanyang Islands into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
After writing in one breath, he was reviewing whether there were any omissions and whether there were any things that needed to be modified, and Lin Meilian came in to report: "Master Hou, Huang Dianyuan is outside asking to see." β
"Let him in." Yi Zhizu commanded casually, and as he spoke, he struck a match and lit a cigarette.
Slowly coming in, Huang Dianyuan arched his hand and said, "The big shopkeeper, the equality of nationalities, will it discourage the enthusiasm of the Nanyang Chinese?" β
Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, and only then said with a smile after stretching out his hand to give up his seat: "Brother Yourong should not have encouraged me to slaughter all the natives of Nanyang." β
"Can't continue the Spanish way?"
"I can't." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The independence of Spain's overseas colonies is enough to show that that model does not work, I have long said that it is either slaughter or kindness, there is no other way." β
Huang Dianyuan said tentatively: "The big shopkeeper shouldn't be planning to adopt the southwest toast system in Nanyang, right?" β
"Before I set out for Nanyang, I had suggested that the imperial court should carry out border reforms, reform the southwest and northwest frontiers, and replace the practice of establishing and dominating the border areas with generals, capital government offices, Tusi, and ministers stationed in Tibet. Nanyang must be a province and a county. β
Speaking of this, Yi Zhifu reacted and said with a smile: "Brother Yourong is trying to install people in the Provisional Governor's Mansion for the South China Society?" β
"The Great Shopkeeper Mingjian." Huang Dianyuan said solemnly: "There is no shortage of talents in the South China Association, and Luzon is not only the establishment of the Provisional Governor's Palace, but also wants to recommend a few talents. β
After a slight groan, Yi Zhixin slowly shook his head and said: "This thing is not easy to do, the imperial court has set up a government and a county in the Nanyang Society, and officially appointed civil and military officials at all levels, and the members of the Nanhua Association have neither merit nor false titles, how can you let me be promoted?" β
He also glanced at him and said, "Is it possible that the chief treasurer doesn't plan to appoint some Luzon natives as officials?" β
Yi Zhishu nodded slightly and said, "I really don't have this plan!" β
Huang Dianyuan hesitated and said, "Then how can you win people's hearts?" Stabilize Luzon? β
"You'll find out later." Yi Zhixiang didn't want to reveal the plans of the agrarian revolution, so after a pause, he continued: "Nanyang, you don't have to worry, Benhou has never liked to make wedding dresses for others, the Nanhua Society is a gang, there is no need to have entanglements with the imperial court, as for the interests of the Nanhua Society, I will consider it, you don't need to worry." β
Huang Dianyuan actually wanted to use the Provisional Governor's Mansion to expand the influence of the South China Society and seek benefits for the South China Society, listening to Yi Zhi's contented words, there was a knocking meaning, and it was not good to say anything, after all, the South China Society and Yuan Qi were only cooperative and used in the relationship, and immediately he changed his head, "When is the big treasurer going to carry out large-scale immigration?" β
"Immigration is not a trivial matter, and there is no urgency." Yi Zhisuff flicked the cigarette ash and said: "Nanyang has a suitable climate, fertile land, and several provinces, at least millions of immigrants are needed, and such a large-scale immigration needs to cooperate with the imperial court to formulate a detailed immigration plan." β
Sending Huang Dianyuan away, Yi Zhishu is still thinking about immigration, Nanyang immigration is not a trivial matter, and the large-scale immigration of millions of people is not a trivial matter, and the money spent is not a small amount, the immigration fee, even if the imperial court is willing to pay, it is just to say that the big head will eventually fall on Yuan Qi's head, just thinking about it makes him have a headache.
Again, there is another point to be afraid of, will such a large-scale migration affect the uprising of the God Worship Society? It is best to start immigrating from the north first, and when he thought of this, his heart lit up, and he turned back to his room and wrote an excerpt - on immigration and river control.
The red flag of the Luzon victory was directly delivered to Shanghai by flying clippers, and then sent to Beijing in an expedited manner of 800 miles, but it was delivered to the Old Summer Palace in Beijing within ten days.
The Old Summer Palace, the palace of the pro-government, the Fangbi Cong.
Although it is the height of summer, Fangbi Cong is cool and pleasant, the front courtyard is lined with strange stones, green bamboos are blowing, quiet and elegant, in the room, after reading the red flag sent by Yi Zhizu from Luzon Manila, Daoguang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, it was easy to defeat the Spanish army and capture the Spanish governor alive in a battle, it seems that it will not take much time to occupy Nanyang.
After reading the secret fold of Yi Zhi's contentment, his face showed a bit of solemnity, ethnic equality? Respect for the customs of all ethnic groups? That is to say, in Nanyang, do not respect the Manchus, do not shave your hair and are easy to wear! As for the later land reform in Luzon, he hastily read it, and then put down the folds and went to look for other people's folds.
Yizeng, Changbao and other clan nobles and children all have excerpts, and they also report in detail on the Anmin notices of the Provisional Governor's Palace, and after reading them one by one, Daoguang's face was a little ugly, and he groaned for a while, and then picked up the excerpts on immigration and river governance that were easy to be content.
In this excerpt, Yi Zhisuff said that the root cause of the Yellow River lies in the control of desertification, and proposed to relocate the people in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, especially the Loess Plateau, to the South Seas, to return farmland to forests on the Loess Plateau, and to plant forests and turf to protect the soil and water from erosion.
Daoguang took a closer look, Mu Zhang'a, who was kneeling below, was guilty, only kneeling stiffly, and saw that Daoguang's expression was wrong, he naturally knew that the problem was in the security notice of the Provisional Governor's Palace.
"You can take a look at all these excerpts." Daoguang said in a muffled voice, realizing that he had been kneeling for too long, and added, "Flat, sit." β
Xie En got up and sat down, Mu Zhang'a quickly read several folds, groaned slightly, and said: "The slave earnestly prays that the emperor will recall Yi Zhicontent." β
"Changing generals?" Daoguang glanced at him.
"If Spain is defeated, the Netherlands will not be afraid, and Yizeng and Changbao are enough to take command of the expedition." Mu Zhang'a said in a deep voice: "Let Yi Zhizhi toss so much in Nanyang, even if it annexes Nanyang, it will not benefit the imperial court." β
Daoguang didn't say anything, Yi Zhizhi has a very high prestige in the navy, how can it be compared to Yizeng and Chang Bao? Recall is easy to be content, and Yizeng Changbao can control the navy? Furthermore, will Yi Zhi's contentment be obeyed? Will he, who has always been bold and reckless, come out and be unaffected by the king's life abroad?
If the situation in the South Seas changes, if Spain sends a fleet to recover Luzon, if England intervenes, it will not be able to destroy the good situation in the South Seas, right?
However, it is indeed worrying that Yi Zhixin is so tossed in Nanyang, the ethnic equality is equal, where are the Manchus? If you don't shave your hair and are easy to wear, is that the people of the Qing Dynasty? God knows if he will make a more outrageous fuss in the future?
Seeing that Daoguang was silent, Mu Zhang'a got up and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to be content and unpredictable, and if you have a heart of disobedience, the emperor can no longer condone and tolerate it." β
Hearing this, Daoguang's face was gloomy and almost dripping water, Yi Zhixin was promoted again and again, from a merchant to today's first-class master, a third-class marquis, Mu Zhang'a actually said in front of him that Yi Zhixin has a heart of disobedience, which is undoubtedly an accusation that he does not know people!
Mu Zhang'a also knew that this was a taboo, so he immediately kowtowed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Yi Zhizu has a heavy army in his hands, and he is bold and reckless, he has sent troops to Annam without authorization, and now he has led the fleet to the south without asking for an order, forcing the emperor to order a southward expedition, and after capturing Manila, he signed a treaty with Spain without authorization.
Without a request, he arbitrarily established the Governor's Office of Luzon, appointed a provisional governor, openly declared the equality of all races, encouraged the desire not to shave his hair and be easy to obey, and supported the army and self-respect, which was clearly revealed! β
Speaking of this, his tone softened, "Yuan Qicai is powerful, controls the manufacturing and procurement channels of sophisticated firearms and ammunition, the Nanyang Navy has recruited troops year after year, it has become a scale, and the military power is prosperous, far from the Eight Banners Green Battalion can be the enemy, and now, it occupies Nanyang, which is not controlled by the imperial court, the emperor is in power, and he can still control it, and the new monarch will become a disaster when he ascends the throne!" The minions implore that they be recalled for questioning! β
It's a bit arbitrary! Daoguang sighed secretly, and the last sentence was to the point, he was in power and could be intimidated, the new monarch ascended the throne, how to control Yi Zhishu and Yuan Qi? Although Luzon Java is large, it is far away from the mainland, needs navigation, and needs to borrow the navy, and Yi Zhixin is strong enough, but he can no longer control the South Seas.
Recall it to ask for sin? I'm afraid it's not good, I really want to be content with Yi Zhi, I'm afraid that the navy and Yuanqi will be chaotic, now Yuanqi can't be chaotic, thinking of this, Daoguang was silent for a while, Yuanqi is now not just a money bank ticket number as simple, it can't be pulled, it affects the whole body, Yuanqi is chaotic, and the entire Qing Dynasty is afraid that it will follow the chaos.
This matter can't come clearly, and it can't be recalled by order, so you have to think of another idea, and after a long silence, Daoguang spoke: "Yi Zhishu is loyal and loyal, and his military achievements are impressive, how can he have a heart of disobedience?" Luzon's move was just to win the hearts of the people, in order to consolidate Luzon as soon as possible. β
Walking out of the pro-government hall, Mu Zhang'a felt relaxed for a while, although Daoguang reprimanded him in the end, but he knew the light temperament and heard it from Daoguang's tone, this time he finally succeeded in burying the thorn, however, this matter has to be struck while the iron is hot, if Yi Zhizhi no longer makes mistakes in Nanyang and returns with a big victory, this thorn will be buried in vain!
Luzon, Manila, MaracaΓ±an Palace.
Yi Zhizhi looked at some documents and archives found from the governor's palace and church in the royal city in the study with nothing to do, he didn't know Spanish, these things were translated by translators with hard work, and the main reason for checking these things was to have a detailed understanding of Luzon, Spain ruled Luzon for nearly three hundred years and left a lot of data.
However, in terms of mineral resources that he wanted to know the most, the Spaniards did not leave any behind, and they did not know if Spain had not carried out mineral exploration in Luzon at all in the past two or three hundred years.
He was looking drowsy, and Lin Meilian came in to report: "Master Hou, Yan Yangtian is here." β
"Let him in." Yi Zhishu said and stood up and stretched, then lit a cigarette, Yan Yangtian walked in calmly, saluted and said: "Junmen, the land reform has been gradually rolled out, and the attitude of those poor peasants has now changed greatly, and they have begun to actively participate in the land reform and the whistleblowing and criticism meeting. β
"What else can be done? Kill! Yi Zhizhi said disapprerovingly: "Those people are the elite of Luzon, and they have killed a hundred, so that they will hate the court in the future, and they will be cut down and eradicated!" β
Killed? Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? Yan Yangtian was stunned, and hurriedly said: "These wealthy families in Luzon have lasted for hundreds of years, and they have a large population, if they are all killed, I am afraid it will cause panic." β
"Declare to the outside world that only the local tyrants and gentry who colluded with Spain to oppress, enslave and mutilate the common people will be killed." Yi Zhizhi said: "Kill cleanly, distribute the land to the poor peasants as soon as possible, don't be afraid, you can't mess up!" β
Before the words fell, Lin Meilian hurriedly walked in and said, "Master Hou......" β
Seeing that her face was pale, Yi Zhishu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Master Hou-." A middle-aged man came in and knelt down and cried, recognizing that it was Guan Haitao, the second housekeeper who followed Yi Yunchang and his wife, Yi Zhi's heart couldn't help sinking, and he hurriedly said, "What happened?" β
"The old lady and the old lady are gone!" Guan Haitao said and cried again.
Yi Yunchang and his wife died? Yi Zhizhi was stunned, Guan Haitao intermittently told the situation again, Jingshi Zhenhai Hou Mansion suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, the fire was fierce, there was no time to rescue, the fire burned down most of the Hou Mansion, Yi Yunchang and his wife died in the fire, and also burned six maids and servants, fortunately, Zaitong and the two of them happened to go back to Baylor Mansion and were not in the mansion.
After staying for a while, Yi Zhishu faintly felt that this thing was strange, the old couple had a maid waiting for them, Jingshi has always attached great importance to fire prevention, how could there be a fire in the middle of the night? And there is no chance to save people, so many people are burned?
Yan Yangtian also noticed something strange while listening, and hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" β
"June six."
On June 6, please aunt, customs and habits, on this day will pick up the married girl, should be a revenge and grievances, avoid disasters and difficulties, but on this day, the Hou Mansion fire, it is too coincidental.
