Fast forward to two months after the Navy occupied Manila.

These two months have been a sea change for Manila and for Luzon as a whole.

The local natives were greedy for the five taels of silver, as well as cloth, porcelain and other things; In addition, if you don't obey orders, you will be surrounded and suppressed, and you will have to be a slave.

Heaven on one side and hell on the other.

This policy prompted a large number of native Luzon natives to move to Manila. In just two months, together with the more than 100,000 people who already lived near Manila, more than 370,000 indigenous people gathered around Manila.

Many of them didn't need to be driven away at all, but simply because they couldn't see the rewards such as five taels of silver and cloth and porcelain, they automatically left their original group and moved to Manila with their families.

Don't blame them, five taels of silver plus a piece of cotton cloth, as well as porcelain tea, this is a lot of wealth in the eyes of ordinary people in Daqin, many families of three may not have a single income of five taels of silver.

Such a fortune is even more of a windfall for the turtles of Luzon.

As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. It's no surprise that local natives have moved to Manila spurred on by such great wealth.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. This trick was used, and the effect was beyond the expectations of Zheng Sihai and others.

Nanjing also sent a holy decree to officially rename the city of Manila: Fusu City.

Of course, there is more to the decree than just changing the name of the city.

In the Admiral's Mansion of the South China Sea Fleet, Zheng Sihai, Zhao Han, Shi Lang, Wang Guichen, Tong Haifeng and others gathered. ”

After everyone came around, Zheng Sihai drew a large circle on the map with his fingers, enclosing the Indochina Peninsula and the entire South Seas.

"These places will be the territory of my Great Qin in the future, Fusu City is just the beginning, and there will be Mengtian City, Baiqi City, Wang Ben City, Wang Jian City, and Shangjun City in the future. Even the name of the city has been chosen. I'm sure everyone has guessed the meaning of this. If you want to become Bai Qi and Wang Jian in this world, please work hard. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Look at it again, the area of Dongwu, Cochin, and Siam is called the Indochina Peninsula, and the Indochina Peninsula has a wide inland and dense mountains, so it is difficult for our Royal Navy to fully control the inland.

on this. Majesty has already been deployed, Majesty Xià wants to build an asphalt road from here, Changsha, don't ask me, I don't know what an asphalt road is, and treat it as a straight road.

In short, His Majesty Xià is to fully open up the straight road from Changsha to Kunming, so as to promote the comprehensive transformation of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces and integrate them into the governance of the imperial court. In the future, this straight road will be extended from Kunming to the south into the Indochina Peninsula. It is linked to the coastline on both sides. This would give Great Qin the ability to exercise effective rule over these regions;

It would be very expensive to build this straight road that runs through the central and southern half of the road. Those civil officials in the DPRK and China will definitely not agree to use the treasury tax money to build it, even if the civil officials agree. The common people could not afford such a huge consumption.

Therefore, His Majesty pinned his hopes on the Royal Navy, and whether or not he could accomplish this great cause that was no less than the First Emperor's sweep of Liuhe would depend on our Royal Navy. The Royal Navy will be responsible for raising all the resources and manpower for the construction of the straightway. This is a great honor and a great responsibility for us. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live. Hooray! ”

After hearing this, the admirals present all showed excited expressions. The Great Qin Royal Navy is like a newborn calf, full of desire to make meritorious contributions, seeing that in the war of domestic unification, the generals of the army are a feudal prince, but there is almost nothing to do with the navy, they have long been unhappy in their hearts.

This time, with a wave of his hand, His Majesty encircled the entire South Seas as a hunting ground for the navy, so that the navy could hunt for fame, how could it not be exciting?

Not to mention the successful precedent of Luzon, in their opinion, such fame can be said to be within reach, as soon as the battleship drives over, the artillery bombards indiscriminately.

Wang Guichen couldn't help but ask: "Lord Admiral, Your Majesty said, let us fight who first, or let us choose by ourselves?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Zheng Sihai said, "Now the Ministry of Industry has sent people to Changsha to survey the route of the straight road, and the starting funds have also been implemented, and what is urgently needed now is labor." ”

Shi Lang frowned and said, "Lord Admiral, it's not too early to do it now?" ”

According to the original plan, it was to wait for the aborigines of Luzon Island to be encircled near the city of Fusu and solved it once and for all.

There are 780,000 natives on Luzon Island, and only 370,000 have been encircled now, and even if half of the aborigines are scattered throughout Luzon, once they do it, they will inevitably startle the snakes, and they will no longer be able to lure the remaining half of the natives over.

Zhao Han said: "Even if His Majesty has no will, we won't be able to delay it for long, and there will be no more property to distribute." Besides, the natives in a large area around Fusu City have been lured over, and the rest are scattered in remote areas, and if you want them to move over for a while, you can't do it. ”

Wang Guichen said: "In this case, let's do it, the rest of those scattered in remote areas will be hunted slowly in the future, by the way, Lord Admiral, even Aquino and these people will be taken?" ”

Zheng Sihai thought for a while and said: "Let's take a look at the situation first, if we do it, Arono and them will have two hearts, and then it will not be too late to take it together, if they are still willing to be obedient, just keep them as hunting dogs, and use them to hunt the remaining natives in the future, otherwise it will always be a trouble for us to hunt monkeys by ourselves in the future." ”

Wang Guichen nodded and said: "I also think that we should keep Aquino's thousands of people for the time being, it's better to do this, when we start, we should send Arrono and them out first, so as not to let them see the flaws." ”

Zhao Han shook his head and said, "Send Aquino and them out first, it's not necessary." With such a big operation, even if they are sent out, they will definitely have doubts in their hearts when they come back, and when they are silent, we don't know if they have hostility in their hearts, but they will be in trouble. ”

Tong Haifeng asked, "What should you do?" ”

Zhao Han said confidently: "I mean, not only should Aquino and them be left behind, but also let them be pawns, and when there is chaos, send them to suppress them first, so that they will become the most hated people of all Luzon natives." Afterwards, even if they guessed something, they could only continue to cling to us. ”

Wang Guichen said with a smile: "It's all about my lord, it's okay to let them be pawns, in fact, they have a lot of blood on their hands." ”

This is the case, these people are Aquino and these people go to the deep mountains and old forests to "chase monkeys", for each bounty of five dollars of silver, Aquino and they work very hard, killing natives are not old and young, the prestige of "General Zhengyi" is enough to stop children crying at night among the indigenous people of Luzon today.

Zhao Han said: "Then let them have more blood on their hands." ”

Zhao Han's "chaos" in their mouths is actually a very simple matter, a large number of natives moved to the vicinity of Fusu City, highly concentrated, these natives come from different tribes, and after they moved, they were not dispersed.

At the beginning of the resettlement of these natives, Zhao Han and the others made arrangements, intentionally or unintentionally creating divisions and contradictions between the natives, and the natives from different tribes were already full of contradictions;

In the past two months, the fighting between the various tribes has already happened repeatedly, after killing people, in order to exacerbate the contradictions between the natives, the Qin army often does not act, and even intentionally or unintentionally makes some partiality, and the tribes who have suffered losses are naturally very dissatisfied;

Once and again, the hatred between the various indigenous tribes grows deeper and deeper, and at this time, just a little spark can cause a riot.

If some Qin soldiers "died" during the riot, then the riot could be characterized as a rebellion against the Great Qin Imperial Navy.

"Do you have any questions?" Zheng Sihai finally asked.

"Admiral, no."

"Then let's go ahead with the plan."

"Whoa!"
