Chapter 717 Disposal of Prisoners
"Sign this treaty, and you will not be executed."

It was the captain of the Atlante who accepted the unconditional surrender of the Spanish colonial soldiers led by Acuña to the Kyushu Army. Acuña could only hold back his tears under the supervision of the man who kicked him into the sea. Download the Kyushu Army Sign the provided treaty.

This treaty recognized that the Spanish Empire would give up all rights in the Spice Islands and recognized the rule of the Kyushu Army here.Although Acuña knew that this treaty was meaningless without the emperor's consent, the Kyushu Army could do a lot of things in accordance with this treaty in the future.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you want to serve the Kyushu Army?" Acuña still looked unwillingly at this "Spanish" who was completely on the side of the Kyushu Army.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, general, you have to remember that you are now a prisoner, and prisoners don't have the right to ask questions." The captain of the Atlante asked his men to accept the cession signed by Acuña Colonial treaty, very satisfied.

"Can you let us go back to Europe? Although we lost the battle, the empire should forgive our failure, not because we are not strong enough, but..." Acuña said.

"Return to Europe? When did I say you can return to Europe?" the captain of the Atlante said in surprise.

Acuña was stunned: "You said that as long as we surrender, we will be released to return to Europe."

The captain of the Atlanta patted his head: "Yes, I did say it. It's just that I said it two months ago. If you were willing to surrender at that time, of course I would let you go back to Europe. It's a pity that it's too late Yes, you have delayed the war to the third month. Do you know what this means? Every month the war is delayed means the consumption of tens of thousands of shi of food. You have to pay the price for your actions. How can it be so easy? Send you back to Europe? Then your fate will be judged by our great military lord."

"You cheating! Orientals are all savage liars!" Acuña shouted angrily after hearing this.

"Do you say I am an Easterner or a Westerner?" asked the captain of the Atlante.

"..."

There are more than 2000 Western captives captured in Batavia, Manila, and Malacca. These are colonial soldiers or sailors who fought. As for the foreigners and foreign businessmen living on the Spice Islands, the Kyushu Army did not take them included in the ranks of arrest.Basically, after these vital forces were arrested and imprisoned, the influence of Westerners in Nanyang was completely disintegrated, and some overseas Chinese and foreign businessmen were left in a state of panic all day long. Most of them left the Spice Islands after the war and returned to Europe to seek refuge and observe the situation afterwards. .There are still a small number of bold people who continue to stay in the Nanyang trade. Anyway, the Kyushu Army did not restrict trade with their Chinese merchants after the war.It will take some time for the Kyushu Army to re-establish the trade system in the Spice Islands.

In fact, there are still many, many things waiting to be dealt with by the Kyushu Army in the Nanyang area, which is waiting to be rebuilt.For this reason, Chu Yun, Xiong Wencan and a group of officials considered the issue of rebuilding the Nanyang trade system after the war in the Chief Secretary of Cochin.

In the past two months or so, Chu Yun was basically commanding the battle from the Chief Secretary of Cochin.It wasn't that Chu Yun didn't want to board a battleship and go to sea to fight in person, but that Nelson didn't allow him to take risks.Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi and a group of high-ranking officials brought by Chu Yun also called grandpa to cry and grandma hugged Chu Yun's thigh, begging Chu Yun not to do this, even Ella from the intelligence department stopped Chu Yun in private, saying yes As long as Chu Yun doesn't take risks, he can do whatever he wants at night...

"More than 2000 captives are two thousand mouths waiting to be fed. Just detaining them will waste a lot of food." The officials in charge of statistics from the Military Intelligence Department took the captives reported from various places and threw this problem to Chu Yun and the others.

"Master, there is no benefit for us to detain more than 2000 people. Should we release them? Give them some food and let them float back to Europe. We will not guarantee whether they will live or die on the way." Xiong Wenchan suggested .

"How can the captured captives be released so easily?" Chu Yun didn't want to let these captives go, at least he had to squeeze them to let them go. "The three important strongholds in Nanyang have been destroyed to varying degrees. Let them repair the city and build houses. There are still many indigenous kingdoms on the Spice Islands that have not been wiped out. At that time, they can be sent out as servants. Their fighting awareness should be stronger than the Malays and Javanese recruited temporarily. In addition, after the indigenous kingdom is settled, they can be assigned to plantations as gardeners. We need to open many banana or sugar gardens here. In order to prevent them from revolting in despair, the service period is set to ten years. After ten years and set them free."

When Xiong Wencan and other officials heard Chu Yun's detailed plan, they couldn't help but sweat for these Western captives. This is really making the best use of everything.

"Our territory is too big, to an unbelievable extent. The Chief Secretary of Cochin can no longer manage such a large place, so I decided to set up the Chief Secretary of Nanyang to govern the Spice Islands. What do you think?" Chu Yun looked around at the crowd.

"Reconsideration by subordinates." Xiong Wencan and others agreed.

Nanyang is very big, and the Chief Secretary of Cochin has to govern such a large territory. Not to mention how busy they are with government affairs, the capital is probably not happy to see the Chief Secretary of Cochin have such a large territory.Therefore, there is a need for checks and balances.

"In addition to the establishment of the Nanyang Chief Secretary, the Cochin Chief Secretary should be divided into the East Cochin Chief Secretary and the West Cochin Chief Secretary. The East Cochin Chief Secretary managed the territory of the original Annan Kingdom, Champa Kingdom, and Chenla Kingdom, while the West Cochin Chief Secretary Manage the territories of Toungoo, Siam, and Canglan that are about to be conquered," Chu Yun said.

"Is the Chief Secretary of Cochin going to be split?" The officials of the Chief Secretary of Cochin are in mixed feelings. The split of the Chief Secretary of Cochin is another step Chu Yun took because he was worried that the territory of the Chief Secretary of Cochin is still too large, but this split means a lot to them. Upgrading.Wouldn't it be great if there was only one position in the past, but now there is another position suddenly added.

Chu Yun was thinking about whether to set up another Oceania chief secretary.The Kyushu Army has now captured Southeast Asia. If you send a fleet to continue southward to the South Pacific, you will find Oceania... At this time, Oceania is still indigenous, but there are no colonies. It is equivalent to a blank space. You only need to send a fleet The fleet can easily claim possession of the vast land there.
