Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 732 Hasn't changed

Some of the natives stood in line with the Ming Dynasty, some were waiting and watching, and some were following the Spaniards.

It's just that Spain's capital in Luzon, Manila, is besieged, and there are very few people who are determined to follow Spain.

Most of them are willing to help the king's division, and they want to ask for something on the condition of sending troops to assist.

This routine has been played by many tribes before.

Zheng Jun also really needs a large number of troops to fill the vacancies in the siege, to make soy sauce and so on.

But this time the tribe is very greedy.

Nanyang Company is also very skilled in dealing with this.

There is no need to report it to Wang Chengen. If you issue a reward in Santa Ana Port, people will naturally gather around you.

There are many ways for Nanyang Company to recruit workers from Daming, and they are quite complicated.

How complicated is it?

Prisoners in prisons, bandits in mountains and rivers, green-skinned hooligans wandering the streets.

No matter who he is, he seems to have some strength. If he can get it by force, he will be put on the boat directly. If he can't get it, he will find a way to deceive him.

Of course, these people with bad backgrounds cannot become regular employees of the company.

Nanyang Company is a serious business group, and it is fundamental that its employees have a clean background.

It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Chenggong's army did not accept them even if they were short of men.

These villains can only become temporary workers in the security company affiliated to the company. They are not even qualified to be the company's official bodyguards. Our official bodyguards are either retired heroes from the military, or contracted by martial arts agencies with a good reputation in the local bodyguards. The last thing is... Carefully selected strong men.

"Come to work."

"Black, it's a killing job! I don't know how much I'll pay you this time!"

The port city of Santa Ana has changed tremendously compared to before.

A large number of Han people came across the sea, and it was the rear area where Zheng Chenggong was stationed, and it was also the rear area where the Ming Dynasty was currently colonizing Luzon. The Nanyang Company also operated it as a dumping ground for the Ming Dynasty's goods export to Luzon.

A large market was spread out, and all kinds of goods shipped from the Ming Dynasty were sold here.

And every time a notice is posted on the public notice board outside the security store, a large number of people will come to watch.

A reward was posted, and the Tagalog people in the Ding'alan area did not respect the king. They once launched an army to invade the property of the Nanyang Company of the Ming Dynasty, and disobeyed the Luzon Governor's Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

Many of the people gathered around were illiterate. Some were telling the story, but were interrupted.

"You tell me directly how to do it, how much money you can get, and whether the boss will issue weapons if you receive the mission."

The people surrounding the innermost circle are mostly a group of people with evil deeds and evil appearances.

All of them were wearing short clothes, breastplates, knives, axes, hammers, ropes and chains, but the most conspicuous thing was the short blunderbuss slung around their waists. Some of the richer ones were equipped with two.

There are many names for them in the large, chaotic Santa Ana City Market.

Slave traders, executioners, horse thieves, bright dogs, company dogs, bounty hunters, etc.
A lot of notoriety.

Most of them call themselves rangers and forest heroes.

"A dead person will pay 15 taels of silver for his head, a living person will pay 20 taels of silver, and the seriously injured and disabled will pay the dead person's price. Those who sign up can go to the company's arsenal and receive a knife, a can of gunpowder, and a rope by pressing their fingerprints."

"In addition, there is another one here, so let's talk about it together. The farm steward of Pinili's company wants to hire five people to help look after the slaves. At the same time, he also offers a reward of 30 taels to hire people to track down the two escaped slaves, whether they live or die. But it’s best to take the human skins of these two people back with you so that you can warn the slaves below that there are portraits here.”

The profession of bounty hunter is not new to Luzon locals.

The Spaniards also hired people to do these jobs.

However, Daming Nanyang Company has put together a fairly complete set of rules and regulations, and will also provide training for them.Tribes that don't surrender will call in the army.

Tribes that surrender but are disobedient will attract these rangers.

Soon the contents of these notices will spread, and many rangers in the city will soon be active.

Naturally, the Luzon natives among the onlookers could also see it.

"what did you say?"

They either asked Han people they were familiar with, or people in their families who knew some Chinese characters, and quickly got the answer.

"Sulantan, their clan is in the south. I sent a message to them to treat Mingren well, but unexpectedly they still provoked me."

An old indigenous man wearing a colorful robe and carrying a backpack suddenly lamented.

The young man nearby scanned the market and gritted his teeth secretly: "There are more of us Tagalog people in the south. Surantan is also a famous hero. There are so many of them! Even the Spaniards are afraid of him! Ming people may not be the same."

The old man shook his head sadly: "But the Ming Dynasty is stronger than Spain. The Spaniards' [-] soldiers crushed many countries and tribes. Only the Sultan of Sulu made the Spaniards helpless. Now the Ming Dynasty has more than [-] soldiers."

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Unfortunately, some gaps cannot be bridged by human will.

"A jar of gunpowder, grandma's. By the way, I forgot to ask, how many points will I get if I finish this matter?"

Since these games were brought to Luzon without any organization, and they also knew that the company would not simply let them go back, it was better for them to be in Luzon with their status. When they arrived in Ming Dynasty, the company had [-] ways to deal with them.

"One hundred, once you succeed, you can get noticed by the company. It's a big job."

"Oh, then I can buy a Shunwu gun with another hundred people!"

The rangers are forming a group. They are few in number and cannot join forces with the local natives to carry them out. Therefore, when trouble occurs, they usually form a group and pick up isolated people from the indigenous tribes.

As for whether their presence will cause the locals to rebel?
It's better to say that it's good to rebel.

If the space is not freed up, how can the Nanyang Company sell officials and land in the Ming Dynasty?
As for what to do if the rebellion is not handled well?
It's okay, our Ming Dynasty has reinforcements.

The Spanish did not control the entire Philippines at this time, but only controlled the large northern island and part of the archipelago. In the southern part, they only built some castles and colonized some local indigenous people.

In the southern Philippines, many tribes and a sultanate named Sulu have been fighting with the Spaniards.

Nanyang Company had contact with this small country.

The attitude of the other party was quite good. Although the language barrier was not clear, the king's son sent by the opposite party knelt down directly in front of the Nanyang Company and kowtowed to Ming Nanjing.

Later, when I met Wang Chengen, he kowtowed quite honestly.

After learning that the Nanyang Company intended to support them in their fight against the Spaniards, the northern part was assigned to the Governor-General of the Ming Dynasty and the southern part was assigned to the Sulu Sultanate.

The prince burst into tears of gratitude and shouted the words he had just learned: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live your Majesty, a thousand live my father-in-law" and wanted to kiss Wang Chengen's shoes.

He also brought a gold seal.

The text on the seal is clearly the "Seal of the Eastern King of Sulu Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty".

"The Sulu Kingdom is far away overseas. It was persecuted by the Spaniards, so it is not allowed to be close to the Celestial Empire. But to this day, our country is still proud of itself as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty! Today I can see the true face of the Celestial Empire! I want to return to the Celestial Empire and ask for a title! "

When the words of the translator reached his ears, Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction.

"In addition, King Xi and King Dong, who were conferred by the Ming Dynasty, also sent envoys. They are both their eldest sons. They are just waiting for your summons."

On the Pingyuan, the Ming Dynasty regained some of its past glory.
