Chapter 263: What qualifications do you have to talk to me?
Everyone was a little dizzy when they heard Li Ming's words, they didn't expect the Philippines to be so rich in resources, it was really a good land. $
Li Ming saw that everyone was in good shape, so he continued: "Since we have caught the Dutch ship, then we have a conversation with the Dutch East India Company. These boats have been detained, the materials have been confiscated, if you want the boats to ask for people, then take the money to ransom them, we will slowly talk to them. As for the ships of other countries, they will be confiscated directly, and they will not be talked about without talking, who will let you run to Manila to join in the fun. ”
Song Tao laughed and said: "The Dutch ship has not been confiscated, and if it is paralyzed, I don't believe that they dare to show their teeth." ”
Liu Baoguo also echoed: "That's it, don't be polite to those white skins, they are just a group of robbers, what kind of reason do you talk to them." ”
Ding Weiguo of the Air Force Department also joined in the fun: "Our air force has long been ready to bomb Batavia at any time, provide air support for the troops, and burn those foreign devils." ”
Li Ming shook his head and said, "Robbers also have rules for bandits, and there is no direct conflict of interest between us and the Netherlands. Their fundamental interests are in the Spice Islands, and that's their bottom line. And we don't have the time or energy to go further south now, and Luzon is our bottom line. As long as the two sides do not touch each other's fundamental interests, then there will be talks between us and the Netherlands.
Controlling Luzon is our main task in the near future, and fighting with the Netherlands for some is not worth the loss. I'm sure the Dutch East India Company would have thought the same. Of course, he can't get used to the problem, and if he dares to show his teeth, he will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth. In the future, the game behind the scenes between us and the Dutch East India Company will be the theme. There are not many opportunities for a head-on confrontation.
Our current ability is good to be able to digest and absorb Luzon in a few years. To put it bluntly, you can wear as big pants as you have with your buttocks, and no matter how elastic the T-shaped pants are, there is a limit. ”
Listening to Li Ming's words, everyone laughed. Song Tao said with a smile: "By the way, hurry up and mobilize the Chinese in the city and clean up Manila well, the people of the Ethnic Affairs Committee are all nesting on the No. 1 landing ship." Now the battle is over. Let them take care of all the things in the city.
By the way, you can let the people of the Democracy Committee and the Dutch talk nonsense, they must be better at than us old and coarse. There is also her sister with long legs, who is definitely a strongman in negotiations. ”
Li Ming was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Song Tao. Puzzled: "Which long legs are you talking about?" How I don't know. ”
Song Tao said with a smile: "It's the pair of sister flowers we picked up from Yokohama." Ha ha...... The employees of the company now call their sisters Long Legs. Xiaojie didn't know which evil he had fallen into, so he fell in love with that long leg, and he surrounded others every day. Along the way, the two sisters were asked to clean up. ”
Li Ming listened to Song Tao's words. smiled and said: "I don't care about the private affairs of employees, as long as they don't go out of line." By the way, that sister Liang Yujie is engaged in international trade, and she came here to make the best use of her resources. Our goal is to make Manila the largest commodity hub in Asia.
I thought that the company would send Hu Wei over, but the northward expansion plan is the most important work of the company at present, and Hu Wei can't leave. Therefore, the company sent Xiao Hanguang, deputy director of the general office, who was also in the system and was said to be very capable.
After the Nationalities Committee lands, we must quickly hand over the work in the city to the comrades of the Nationalities Committee. Manila was chaotic in the early days, and we also had to do a good job in the safety and security of Manila, and treat it very well in extraordinary times, as long as we found the act of taking advantage of the fire to rob, regardless of the severity of the circumstances. ”
After nearly two days of busyness, Manila has returned to normal order, and the city has been cleaned up. Dozens of members of the Nationalities Affairs Committee were also allowed to step off the No. 1 landing ship, and a group of members of the Military Affairs Committee also handed over their work to them.
Manila established the Luzon Island Management Committee, with Li Ming as the director and Zhou Cheng, Song Tao, Xiao Hanguang and Liang Yujie as the deputy directors. Siew served as mayor of Manila and formed the city government.
After Xiao Hanguang and others took over Manila, they immediately threw themselves into intense work. They first met with a group of Chinese businessmen and reorganized the Manila branch, with Liang Yujie as the general manager of the Manila branch.
As the fleets organized by the Dutch East India Company were intercepted by the Far East Company, the pressure on the Dutch merchant house also increased, and Marco had no choice but to come to see Li Ming.
This matter is indeed the fault of the Dutch East India Company, but so many ships and materials were captured by Li Ming, how can they not sit idly by. Although Li Ming met with Marko, he didn't give him a good face. Marco also knew that this black cauldron had to be carried by him, so he had been very passive when communicating with Li Ming.
"Your Excellency, our Dutch East India Company and the Spaniards are only a simple commercial dealing, and I have not fulfilled my duty of supervision by the fact that individual merchant ships have been bewitched by the Spaniards, and I hereby extend my most sincere apologies to you and the Far East Company. Please also ask the general to release the cargo ships of our company, and of course, our company will give your company some necessary compensation. ”
Li Ming listened to Marko's words, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"What is your status, and what qualifications do you have to talk to me, so that your governor of Batavia can send someone to talk. As for those ships. You say it's a normal business, but is it also a normal business to transport war horses and ammunition for Spain? You sent someone back to Batavia to sue your governor, the Far Eastern Company was very angry, and the consequences were severe. ”
After he finished speaking, he waved at the warrior next to him, and asked Marco to be coaxed out. Song Tao sneered: "What the hell, their Dutch East India Company is a fart." ”
Ding Weiguo stood up all of a sudden, and scolded: "I agree with Song Tao's opinion, you can't be polite to Baipi, the plane bombing, the artillery bombardment, and the armored car are on the wheel, but it is really impossible to drive the 10,000-ton freighter out and cross the Strait of Malacca, and no one will pass through here." ”
Liu Baoguo also said hatefully: "I hate these foreign devils the most, looking at the well-dressed like that, they are actually a group of scum." Wait for us to free up our hands and drive those foreign devils out of East Asia and completely control the Spice Islands. ”
Li Ming looked at their faces full of resentment and ignored them. These three guys are militants, they are not afraid of big things, according to their will, it is better to take Batavia.
Song Tao scolded for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Ming, "Dude, when are we going to clean up those natives." These monkeys must not be let go, they have harmed so many Chinese, is that all. Even if it is a traitor, we must kill it. ”
Li Ming sneered and said, "Come on, these natives don't see that we have made any moves, and they have already returned." These natives are used to being faulted by the local Chinese in Manila, and they think that we will reason with them like the Chinese in the past. Hehe...... I've already asked Zhang Siyuan to talk to the leaders of the natives, and I'll clean them up when they all come back.
These days, the troops are ready to go out at any time, and the two overseas brigades, the daredevil's wing, and the pirates under He Wu have all made me nervous. Organize the Chinese who were good in the defense of the royal city. At that time, the special combat team, two companies of the Far Eastern Division, and one company of the War Department must all be dispatched, and not a single native will be let go. I want to build a Beijing Temple next to the Chinese cemetery outside the city with indigenous heads, so as to comfort those Chinese compatriots who have died. ”
The natives around Manila, after the Far Eastern Army arrived, all fled from Manila City and hid in the mountains and forests of eastern Manila, they were all worried, afraid that the Far Eastern Army would seek revenge on them, but they waited in the mountains for a few days, and some of the bold people secretly ran back, and found that the Far Eastern Army had not left the city at all, and the natives also came down from the mountains one after another.
It wasn't until Zhang Siyuan and several Chinese businessmen found the leaders of the natives to negotiate that these natives could be regarded as having their hearts in their stomachs. Zhang Siyuan gave the natives an ultimatum, once again asking them to leave the lands or face the consequences.
As soon as the indigenous leaders heard this, they began to play scoundrels again, anyway, the Chinese are like that, maybe they will rely on the land to get their hands on it. And Zhang Siyuan went a few times in a row, and his tone became more and more severe each time, but the more this happened, the more relieved the natives became.
In the early hours of the morning, there was a sudden rush of whistles in the barracks of the troops in Manila. All the cadres and fighters quickly got up from their beds, put on their equipment, rushed out of the barracks and began to line up nervously. They went to bed early last night, and the task was given to launch an attack on the natives in the early hours of this morning.
Li Ming had been stationed at the headquarters early in the morning and had made arrangements for this combat mission with the commanders of various units. These days, Song Tao has led a special combat team to fully reconnoiter the various routes where the natives fled to the mountains east of Manila.
Song Tao had already led the special combat team, a company of the War Department, and a car detachment to the designated area at midnight to deploy defenses, basically strangling the various paths of the natives fleeing to the mountains.
After the troops were assembled, Li Ming took a group of staff officers from the team directly under the headquarters to the place where the troops were assembled. The commanders of the detachments reported to him one after another. Li Ming looked at his watch, and then said loudly: "All troops rushed to the designated place according to the plan, and launched an attack at 4 o'clock in the morning. Again, don't let go of a native, let these beasts who hurt our fellow citizens get the punishment they deserve. Departure ......"
The Far Eastern Army, with companies as units, desperately penetrated into the various indigenous settlements around Manila, and all the fighters were fully armed, and under the leadership of local Chinese guides in Manila, they rushed to the starting points of the attacks one by one.
Li Ming was standing next to the radio station, and the communications staff officers around him kept reporting to him the numbers of each detachment and the shouts that had arrived at the designated place, and he kept looking at his watch, staring into the distance with a gloomy face.
Finally, the hands of his watch pointed to four o'clock in the morning. Li Ming turned around and smiled at the people around him, "It's started...... (To be continued......)
