Chapter 3063

The total number of Spanish prisoners captured after this naval battle, plus the immigrants who had originally settled in San Diego Bay, was about three thousand. If Haihan wanted to completely control the bay in the future, it would be impossible for these Spaniards to stay.

In order to ensure that a stable social structure dominated by Han people can be maintained in the future, it is necessary to relocate the local Spaniards, move most of them away from the area, and then move in with Han immigrants to adjust the population ratio.

"In order to ensure the stability here, we will move most of the local people to other places to settle down, probably near Jinshan Bay in the north. As for the prisoners of war, they need to undergo several years of labor reform first.

Only then can we regain our freedom.”

Morgan frankly explained the next arrangements to Aragones and asked him to do some appeasement work: "There may be some local people who find it difficult to accept this. I hope you can explain the stakes to them.

Cooperate with our relocation arrangements.”

Aragones said: "Before my family took over here, there were many immigrant families who had lived here for two or three generations. They pioneered here and built their own homes with their own hands. Now they are asked to give up all this and move to

How can we expect them to cooperate in a completely unfamiliar new environment?"

Aragones didn't care about the fate of the people in the fleet, but the local people were his family's assets. If Haihan wanted to split them up and move them away, it would be equivalent to demolishing his home. Of course he refused.

Agree with this approach.

Morgan smiled and then said: "You and your family also have to move away from here. In view of your cooperation, we will arrange a good place for you."

Aragones's expression became a little tense now: "According to the agreement we agreed on before, your country must ensure the personal and property safety of my family!"

Morgan nodded and said: "Don't worry, of course we will fulfill the agreement, but only if you cooperate. We will transport all your family's property that can be packed away for free. In addition, we will also provide you with a large piece of land locally.

, as your new farm. Within three years, the farm income does not need to pay taxes to the government."

There is plenty of land in the central valley plain east of Jinshan Bay, and it is not difficult to allocate a piece of land to the Argones family. On one side there is land that needs to be developed, and on the other side there are Hispanic immigrants who need to be resettled, so they can be used together.

But if Aragones wants to keep the Spanish people in San Diego Bay attached to his family, it will never be approved by Haihan. One of the purposes of dispersing these Hispanic people away from this place is to break them up and prevent them from clumping together.

How could it be conducive to future governance and give Aragones the opportunity to regain control of them.

Morgan continued: "I want you to tell the local Hispanic people that their new home will have better living conditions, and those who perform well can quickly obtain our nationality. And you will also set an example and accept our arrangements.

Move to a new place of settlement. If anyone is unwilling to cooperate, then we cannot guarantee that we can still enjoy normal treatment after moving!"

Aragones didn't want to agree, but there was no choice in the current situation. Morgan had already spoken for this reason. If he didn't cooperate, I'm afraid the conditions mentioned earlier would be gone.

But even with Aragones personally coming forward, it is not easy to appease the emotions of the local people. As he said before, many people have lived here for a long time and have long regarded San Diego Bay as their home. Even if Haihan gave

Even with some preferential conditions, many people are still unwilling to move.

However, someone will naturally come forward to deal with these troubles. Morgan will not have a headache over this kind of thing. He now has to seize the time to interrogate the just-captured fleet commander DeSantis to confirm the status of Spain's military deployment.

Although the possibility was unlikely, Morgan still had to be on guard against the Spaniards' other unforeseen moves in addition to the armed fleet they sent.

DeSantis sat dejectedly until Morgan walked into the tent, then he suddenly raised his head and stared at Morgan.

He had seen Morgan and Aragones appear together before, and he knew that Aragones had probably defected to the Haihan people, but he was still a little curious as to why there was such an old white general in the Haihan army.

"You don't look like a Haihan, are you a Slavic, or a Germanic?" DeSantis asked proactively.

After listening to the translation, Morgan laughed and said: "Your guess is wrong. I am a Celt, but I am also an indigenous person here. At the same time, I am also an authentic Haihan person."

DeSantis was confused. Morgan's appearance was in line with the racial characteristics of the Celts, but it was obviously not similar to the local aborigines, let alone the typical East Asian race of the Haihan people. So how could he simultaneously

Have these three identities.

Morgan didn't want to waste his words explaining his legendary experience to him, so he got straight to the point: "I can give you a chance to live. In exchange, I hope you can explain to me Spain's military deployment in the south, as well as your

Command the ins and outs of this operation."

DeSantis shook his head and said: "I am a Spanish soldier. Even though I was defeated, I still want to be loyal to my kingdom. If it hadn't been for the mutiny of my men, I would have died on the battlefield at this time. That would be my role as a soldier."

The destination it deserves.”

Morgan said: "You will lose because you chose the wrong opponent. If you can survive the battle, it means you don't deserve to die. If you cooperate with me, you will still have a chance to see your family alive."

"Like Aragones? He is a traitor and a disgrace to Spain!" DeSantis suddenly became excited.

Morgan said: "Aragones just wants to protect the local Spaniards, but you don't seem to care about their life and death, so he can only choose another path. You don't think that your failure on the battlefield

Is it because he betrayed you? Then you are too naive. The Spanish army has had many experiences against the Haihan Army in the past thirty years, but has never won a victory. Do you think you can change this situation?

?”

The corner of DeSantis' mouth twitched, but he remained silent. He had indeed thought so, thinking that he had a chance to become the first Spanish general in history to defeat the Haihan Army, but the cruel facts shattered the illusion. Only those who are truly on the battlefield can

Only after facing off against the Haihan Army in Shanghai did we realize that this was simply an extravagant hope.

There is no difference between him and the other Spanish generals who fought against Haihan in the past thirty years. They all ended in complete defeat. It’s just that he should be considered one of the luckier ones. After experiencing such a tragic battle, at least

I was lucky enough to survive.
