Dividing the fields

Yinzhen did not dock in Guangzhou, but led the fleet straight to Manila. According to the plan, Yinzhen planned to stay in Guangzhou for a few days, not only for Luzon's sale, but mainly wanted to investigate. With the occupation of the South Ocean and the development of Australia, Guangzhou's status is becoming increasingly prominent. It is urgent for the Navy to establish a base in Guangzhou. In addition, Yinzhen also planned to build a naval academy in Guangzhou to recruit a large number of students. In the next few years, the Navy will inevitably usher in a great development. If there is not enough troops, it can only sigh. [The latest updates are all in search.]

This time he went to Nanyang, Yinzhen not only led the Beiyang fleet, but also two fleets of the Fujian Navy, and two large supply fleets. In order to avoid the storm period in the South China Sea, he received Liu Zhisheng's Garoba news in Xiamen. He did not dare to delay time in Guangzhou and led the fleet to travel day and night.

As this super-large fleet moved south and as the news of the victory of conquering Garoba spread, the Qing dynasty and the people once again turned their attention to the Nanyang.

The huge fleet arrived at the Bay of Manila and immediately caused a sensation in Manila City. It was heard that Yinzhen arrived in person. Zheng Qingyuan, who was stationed in Manila, immediately organized local Han people to arrive at the dock to hold a grand welcoming ceremony.

As soon as the "Nanhai No. 1" landed at the Manila South Pier, the Han people who were waiting to welcome burst into loud cheers. Yinzhen and Yinxiang stood on the deck together, and they were all very excited to see such a warm scene.

"The fourteenth brother's move to conquer Manila is very popular." Yinxiang sighed.

"Spain has carried out several large-scale massacres of local Han people." Yinzhen smiled and said, "The Han people are bullied in the local area. We are naturally deeply favored by our conquering Manila."

Looking at the cheering crowd, Yinxiang said in surprise: "Why are these people all of the same color short hair? Hanfu?"

"Short hair is a means for the Spanish to rule and control the Han people." Yinzhen said lightly: "Hanfu is passed down from the previous Ming Dynasty."

"Don't your 14th brother plan to promote hair shaving and change clothes?" Yinxiang asked strangely.

"They are so supportive, why do you need to shave your hair and change your clothes?" Yinzhen glanced at him and said, "Shaving your hair and change your clothes is just to facilitate the rule of the court. If you want long-term stability in overseas places, you must win the hearts of the people."

"Slave Zheng Qingyuan greets the master and the Thirteenth Master." Zheng Qingyuan had already run to the deck and greeted the two of them quickly.

Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said, "The local Han people are the basis for ruling Luzon. You have comforted you well, but what benefits did you give them?"

Zheng Qingyuan did not expect that as soon as he met, Yinzhen asked this question, and felt a little frightened. He replied cautiously: "By the master, the king's army will regain Manila. They will no longer have to be exploited by the Spanish. They are already grateful, and the slaves have not given them any benefits.

"It's too hot overseas and people are not adaptable. The Han people are the hard-core crops of the imperial court." Yinzhen smiled and said, "It is said that all Han people in Luzon, regardless of their size, are rewarded by the head of the capital of Manila. All the private property of the Han people is protected by the imperial court."

Yinxiang was stunned when he heard this. Where is the hardcore farmer of the Han people?

"Ah?" Zheng Qingyuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately hesitated: "Master, there are more than 50,000 Han people in Manila."

"Why, I'm afraid there is not enough land near Manila?" Yinzhen asked with a smile.

"Don't the master want to sell the land?" Zheng Qingyuan said nodded: "This is millions of silver."

"The 50,000 Han people who can buy for one million silver wholeheartedly support the imperial court's rule in Luzon and protect the safety of Manila City. Why, do you think it's not worth it?" Yinzhen chuckled.

"It's so good!" Zheng Qingyuan immediately reacted and bowed, "I'll spread the news immediately."

Yinxiang was also very impressed when he heard this. The Han people who had 50,000 yuan of land surrounded by thousands of elite soldiers around Manila City. How could they worry about the rebellion of the local natives?

Yinzhen and his party landed on the shore, and the entire pier was filled with cheers. Tens of thousands of people kowtowed to Yinzhen and his party. Under the hush of a crowd, Yinzhen entered Manila City.

The Manila royal city was built completely in the European style. Not to mention Yinxiang, even Yinzhen was very novel and watched it all the way into the former Spanish Governor's Mansion.

After a little washing up, Yinzhen summoned Zheng Qingyuan and Qian Buduo. After the two of them met, he spoke, "The last time the Manila Massacre killed many people. All members you develop must be compensated heavily. Promoting officials will give priority to their relatives. In addition, each person will compensate 100 acres of land.

The current focus of the imperial court is not on Nanyang, and it is impossible to send more troops to station in Nanyang. We must vigorously exert the enthusiasm of the local Han people and draw young and strong people from it to form a group training and train to assist the local garrison."

"Slaves honored the order." Zheng Qingyuan bowed and replied, lifted up and said, "Master, how should we deal with the Han people who depended on the Spanish, that is, those who are called Kabidan? Is their property also protected?"

Luzon is not as scruples as the mainland, and there are not so many scruples. Besides, those who are not popular with the people, and they ponder for a moment, Yinzhen said: "A careful investigation and identification, those who colluded with the Spanish to harm the Han people will be killed and exposed to the public."

"Slaves' orders." Zheng Qingyuan bowed.

Yinzhen nodded, then glanced at the money without much, and said, "This naval reward, the victory of Nanyang is not among the rewards. After the full capture of Nanyang, I will ask for credit for you and others. Since I have been transferred to the navy, I will not treat you badly and will treat you as a person. Don't divide each other privately. Your 6,000 green camp will be temporarily organized into the Marine Corps, strengthen training, and obey the mobilization."

When he heard that he had not much money, he was happy. After changing his life, he became the direct descendant of the Fourteenth Master. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The Lord of the Low Position."

"All the fields on Luzon Island, the number of wastelands and other information on the local indigenous peoples should be sorted out." Yinzhen pondered: "In addition, the garrison should strengthen training. After Luzon sells it, it will form a 'slave hunting team' to capture slaves and establish a slave farm."

Zheng Qingyuan was most familiar with the situation in Luzon. He knew that in several massacres of the Han people, the indigenous people acted as pioneers. He heard that they wanted to build a slave farm, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, slaves will be prepared immediately."

He didn't have much money, but he was even more excited when he heard it. He captured slaves and slave farms, which was a good opportunity to make a fortune. He also replied immediately: "The low-ranking order."

"What's the situation with Spanish prisoners?" Yinzhen continued.

"By the master, the Spanish captured more than 5,000 soldiers, 3,000 soldiers, and more than 2,000 other missionaries, merchants, manor owners, and civilians. They were all scattered in prison camps outside the city." After Zheng Qingyuan said this, he whispered: "The other 3,000 indigenous soldiers have been beaten to death by the angry Han people."

Yinzhen nodded. It was easier to make things easier. The Han people and the natives formed a mortal enemy. Only by completely turning to the Qing Dynasty and pondering for a moment, he said: "Tomorrow morning, I will bring the Governor Mairoting and Lieutenant Colonel Monterey to see me."

After the Qing Navy captured Manila, it greatly appeased the local Han people. When the 14th Prince, Prince Xun, had no choice but to distribute ten acres of land to each person. It added generous compensation to the members of the Han Association who had been massacred before, promoted officials among the Han people, and also carefully examined and identified the Han people's Jiabidan, and promised not to shave their heads and change their clothes.

After this series of policy announcements, the Han people in Manila were in full swing, and most of the poor and poor Han people were even more ecstatic. Luzon must be the world of Han people at this point.

The next morning, Yinzhen summoned the Spanish Governor Mairoting and Navy Lieutenant Colonel Monterey. After learning that the young man in front of him was the 14th prince of the Qing Empire and Prince Yinzhen, Mairoting and Monterey quickly visited the ceremony. They practiced this etiquette for a while last night, and at this time, they were just a perfect match when they started to perform their rituals.

Yinzhen glanced at the two of them before looking at the translator Zhang Tiansheng standing beside him, and said, "I know that Manila is a trade transfer station between the Qing Dynasty and the New World. I want to directly open trade with the New World and let them talk about the situation in the New World."

When Monterey heard Zhang Tiansheng's translation, he did not respond much, but Governor Mairoting was very alert. Does the 14th prince of the Qing Dynasty want to open up American trade or attack New Spain in the Americas? With the fierceness and courage of the Qing soldiers and artillery, New Spain is also vulnerable. Could he be targeting the silver mine in New Spain?

After thinking for a moment, Mairotin said: "I only know that it is trading with the Port of Acapulco. The specific situation of New Spain is not clear because it is far away."

Not sure? Can I be the governor of Luzon, and can I understand the situation in New Spain? Yinzhen smiled and said, "Whether it is Manila or the Far East Fleet, you can find sailors who run the route from Acapulco Port to Manila. If you want to fight New Spain, why do you need to pay more attention? Ask him, do you want to break the trade between America and the Qing Dynasty, or go to war directly with the Qing Dynasty?"

After listening to the translation, Mairoting couldn't help but look at Yinzhen in surprise. What does this 14th prince mean? Isn't it considered a war between the Qing Dynasty and Spain now? He asked back: "Has the Spanish Far East Fleet surrendered?"

"Yeah, all surrendered, and more than 9,000 people were all captured." Yinzhen said indifferently.

Hearing Yinzhen's personal confirmation, Mairoting felt a chill in his heart. Spain was completely finished in the Far East. He asked with some frustration: "How are they now?"

Yinzhen said briefly: "I'm still alive."

Mairoting's heart was shocked. What does this 14th prince mean? Could it be that he would not make peace with Spain?
