Chapter 509: All kinds of situations after occupation

The battle at Yuegang was over long ago. The leaders were either killed in battle or directly at the port, and most of the remaining people were captured. After being detained in Yuegang for three days, they were sent here after receiving the news that Zhangzhou City was taken down.

In Zhangzhou City, the military discipline of the "Spanish Occupy Army" is strict and truly sat in the so-called "nothing" situation. However, for maritime merchants and people with maritime merchants backgrounds, they will not be ruthless. In fact, strictly speaking, almost everyone in this city relies on maritime merchants to make a living. The vitality of Zhangzhou City lies in the fact that it relies on Yuegang, the richest and most prosperous port in South China. Maritime merchants are domineering in the city and undermining the power of the government.

Those subordinates and gangs who bully men and women and dominate women and cause trouble for the countryside are really doing a lot. The honest people hate them to the core, but when the maritime merchants are powerful, they just hate them in their hearts. According to common sense, these miracle ghosts invade the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and those who lead them must also be people at sea. Maybe it is the conspiracy of the maritime merchants in Yuegang.

To seduce foreign tribes to occupy the territory, wouldn’t they be even more arrogant in Zhangzhou City? What good life do the people have? I didn’t expect that things were not what they thought. Everyone in the city had subordinate relationships with the maritime merchants. Most of these people were rascals or good pirates and bandits, and they were arrested. I really don’t know how to know so detailed in advance.

Of course, this is not difficult for the "Spanish Occupy Army". After the idle leaders were arrested, they were tortured and asked them to see the heads hanging on the bamboo pole. Everyone was honest and obedient, and explained everything they knew. Then they would arrest people according to the list.

Although it is inevitable that there are mistakes to arrest them, after those who committed evil on the market were wiped out, the Zhangzhou City seemed much more peaceful. Many people now can't understand it. Although no one saw the Mongol rule in Zhangzhou with his own eyes, there were many records. The Tartars made the female family members in Zhangzhou City dare not even go out on the streets, and the shops were often robbed for no reason. Why doesn't this look like a human, but a demon-like Western ghost and it has a bit of a "teacher of benevolence and righteousness"?

Yuegang and the surrounding ports were swept away under the storm of the Yizhou regiment under Yang Shitou and the offensive of the Yizhou fleet on the water. Captives of various identities captured nearly 6,000 people. Six days after occupying Zhangzhou City, the Ming army that came to attack was defeated and sent to Zhangzhou City.

This caused a sensation. Although the people who had suffered these people were happy, they were still a little scared. They thought to themselves that they would start a massacre and put the heads of these people on bamboo poles. There were no so many bamboo poles in the city.

However, seeing these people escorting the captives, the upper and lower parts of Zhangzhou City thought they understood who colluded with foreign ghosts to invade. The Han warriors Ding Zhuang who entered the city were all dressed up by those Guangdong men. It was indeed the bad consequences caused by the battle between Fujian and Guangdong.

The disposal of prisoners was very different from what the people in Zhangzhou City expected. There were nearly 8,000 prisoners outside the city. Among these people, the leaders of these people were all cut off their heads. The remaining people, those Guanggu, said clearly when they shouted, as long as they completed certain civil engineering projects in accordance with the requirements of the "foreign master", they could spare their lives and return them to their hometowns.

Looking at the bamboo poles with human heads raised in the city, the prisoners thought they must be beheaded. Who would have thought that there would be such a broad way and immediately agreed.

However, the prisoners and even the people in Zhangzhou City secretly despised the words of this "foreign master" and thought that my dignified Ming Shangguo had actually servile to such barbarians, which really lost all the face of his ancestors.

The prisoners who promised to work and atone for their sins regretted the next day. This civil engineering project is not ordinary, including building small fortresses outside the city, digging deep trenches, and forts built on the original city walls, and simple exterior walls outside. This is an extremely hard work. Moreover, Zhangzhou is already very hot now. Doing such hard work outdoors in broad daylight will cause you to peel off even if you don’t die. Moreover, these prisoners are playing knives and guns or carrying ships in the port. Life is comfortable and you can’t bear such hardships at all. However, there is no regret. The swords and muskets in the other party’s hands are not vegetarians.

Such a fortress defense not only blocked the Ming army's way invasion, but also blocked the people in the city's way out of the city. The farmland around Zhangzhou City could barely be self-sufficient. If such a blockade was not used, it would be too long for the city to be out of food and chaos.

Fortunately, the distance from Zhangzhou City to Haicheng County is completely controlled by the "Spanish Occupied Forces". After all, the Ming army did not have such powerful gunboats. Within the range of sea and naval guns, it can be said that they were firmly controlled by the Spanish Occupied Forces.

Since you have controlled the sea route, the next thing is easy. Don’t forget that because the coastal industry and commerce are booming, many fields are not cultivated, and everyone eats Nanyang grain. As long as the sea route is still in your hands, the cheap Nanyang grain and rice will be continuously transported in.

Of course, this food will not be given to the people in the city for free. The occupying army also has various projects and jobs in the city. If everyone wants to eat, they come to work and make money. It turned out that there was a problem of language barriers. Now, after those Guanggu entered the city, things have become much simpler.

The strong laborers in the city go to work on the construction site to make money, and the elderly, weak, women and children are responsible for logistics, cleaning and cooking, or repairing and repairing in temporary weapons workshops. These tasks are calculated according to the market price, and they are even slightly higher. No one complains. Moreover, the work done by the people for the occupation forces is much better than those outside the city. After all, one side is a slave, the other side is a free people. Compared with the two sides, their respective enthusiasm is much higher.

No one did evil, and every family had a source of living that could be relied on. The market quickly calmed down. The shops that were doing business in the city found that their business had no impact. They said that they had a relationship with the maritime merchants, but the main ones who stayed were purely business. The reason for these people was that Yuegang and Zhangzhou City were occupied by people, so there was no business.

Some bosses even had their friends on vacation, saying that if you want to support yourself, you should give Fangui and Guanglao a job and feed food. My business here can't be maintained, and I'm afraid there is no wage to pay. Who would have thought that after defeating the thousands of soldiers in the garrison, merchants from all over the city came in to discuss turnover and sale matters with shops in the city. It turned out that Yuegang had resumed the operation of the Shanggang after the fourth day of occupation, but the personnel who came to operate were different. The location was good and it was one of the transit stations for merchants north of Zhejiang to trade in Nanyang. These people had a very close relationship with Huazhou.

After capturing Yuegang, they will naturally give them a convenience. Of course, on the surface, they are all said that China and Spain have an agreement that no matter what, the harbor must be opened to the merchant ships under the protection of China. Many merchants do not know why the Spanish are so easy to talk to.

Some smart people also guessed it, but they were also smart and didn't say anything. Since there were merchants and business in Yuegang, the business in Zhangzhou City would naturally not be very bad. After obtaining the permission to occupy the army, they could also go to other places in Fujian to purchase goods and return to the city to sell.

Merchants have no motherland. Just as in another parallel history, the Jin merchants in the late Ming Dynasty did not realize the difference between the Han and Tartars for the various materials of the Qing Dynasty. As long as they earned money, everything would be fine. The same was true for merchants in Fujian. As long as the shops in Zhangzhou took out the money, there would be nothing they could not buy. Moreover, many people also know that many ships coming from the north docked in Yizhou and came directly to Yuegang, which means that the current transaction might be better.

They all took the initiative to find ways to trade. Some people went into the sea in Xiaogang near Quanzhou and then came to Yuegang to buy and sell trade.

The people with some character in Zhangzhou City are mainly scholars. After the prefect and officials at all levels were driven outside the city, even if they were a group of people who spoke effectively in the city, the respect for scholars in the world has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years. These scholars are determined not to bow to the occupying army, but they are also confused and discovered that after the occupation of Zhangzhou City, the market was prosperous, the public security was good, and everyone had a living and had food to eat. It was a peaceful and prosperous scene, which was really incredible.

The original Zhangzhou Prefecture Office and the surrounding high-ranking houses have been transformed into something different. The walls outside are being formed. Here are a fortress in the city. The area around the prefecture office has been turned into a fortress. Except for the soldiers of the occupying army, the people are not allowed to enter.

"Master, Master!"

A soldier who looked like a Guanglao ran in all the way, and all the Han people working around him cursed the "traitor" in their hearts.

In the original prefect's office, the leader of the Spanish occupation army took off his helmet covered his head and shouted at the subordinate who shouted "Mr. Yang" in anger:
Chapter completed!
