Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 752 The Wind Rises

Of course it has to be heaven.

Otherwise, there would be no way to trick people, and the prices for some of the small official posts currently on sale in Nanjing would not be that high.

Selling one's official position to get a title is intolerable to an emperor.

But if it is an overseas official in Luzon, Emperor Longwu found that after looking at the local cultural groups and the overall situation, he had to sell it like this!
If you can deceive people, you can still make a fortune.

They and the people and forces behind them have to work hard in Luzon to recover costs. Without these idiots, it would be difficult for Ming Dynasty to control Luzon.

Of course, the little prince Zhu Linyuan is different. He can always maintain his high enthusiasm for Luzon and no one will expose this beautiful lie.

"It would be best for our army to capture Luzon. The newspaper said that the land in Luzon is rich. Even if the local residents are not good at farming, they can get a good harvest just by scattering the seeds casually during the farming season. If the Ming Dynasty captures Luzon, there will be no famine in the Ming Dynasty." worry."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Longwu was naturally overjoyed.

For a seven-year-old child to be able to say something like this, it is certainly remarkable.

He also wholeheartedly sympathized with the people of Ming Dynasty.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, would you please allow me to go to Luzon and see it?"

Emperor Longwu naturally agreed.

In short, agree first and don't spoil the child's interest.

The child also said that Luzon could save the Ming Dynasty from the worry of famine. Emperor Longwu also smiled and planned to serve snacks. He directly spread out the map and took the child to discuss how Luzon should be divided into states and counties.

"The Iloks are the maids you saw before. How about they be classified as a state?"

"Manila, there is a picture of a city here, does it look good? It is very well managed, with many fields and factories. It is now the headquarters of our army. The memorial said that there are 20 rebels to help the king's army."

"The Bicolano people all rebelled against the Western barbarians. Seeing that the Western barbarians were about to fall, they defected and joined General Chenggong's army. They are not good people like the Sibuyan people here. The Negritos are ! This is interesting, because you have seen those short black people who were actors before, and they have lived here for a long time."

"There is a country here, called Maguindanao. The newspapers of the small country will never mention it. It is quite respectful around Luzon, but it is said that it colluded with the British and the Dutch."

"The Sulu princes mentioned earlier are on their way to Nanjing. My son is curious and will summon them when the time comes, but remember not to lose etiquette."

The children are full of curiosity, but also full of confusion.

Emperor Longwu was finally a little anxious.

The Ming Dynasty's colonization of Luzon was also very rapid.

The main reason is that the pictures on the newspaper are so good.

Not only the prince Zhu Linyuan was frightened, but countless people in the entire Ming Dynasty were frightened.

If there were still people waiting and watching when Spain held Manila, but the news that the army had completely captured Luzon with the support of the indigenous people in the north and south of Luzon was published, then there was no need to hesitate.

The business of Ming Nanyang Company is even more prosperous.

Whether it is buying an official position, moving directly, or accepting employment from a company, Fuzhou's ports have experienced varying degrees of congestion. During the exchange of people and goods, the buzz of people is full of discussions about the unknown land.

Also flourishing and flourishing was the flourishing growth of colonialism, which made these Ming people who went to sea covet not only Luzon but also other lands.

The newspaper published nautical charts obtained from the city of Manila.

Land finally appeared above that had not been within Daming's field of vision before.

There are many islands in the south of Luzon and Brunei, some of which are similar and some of which are completely unfamiliar.

Further south of the archipelago, there is a continent that is still unknown to the Spanish. The Spanish, Dutch and other countries call it 'New Netherlands' or 'New South Wales'.

They believe that continent leads directly to the extremely cold Antarctica.So it is also called 'Australia', which means the southern continent.

It's okay.

Mainly in the description of the Spaniards, they roamed across the entire South China Sea and the islands of the southern continent, and they could not meet any decent opponents at all. They were all savages who did not know how to be civilized.

Some of them could still afford swords, fire and blunderbuss, and they had some equipment from trading with Western merchant ships, so they could still barely see.

Some can only use stone weapons.

Incredibly weak.

But they have something that Ming Dynasty is in short supply now.

land.

Land annexation was an almost unsolvable problem for the feudal dynasties of the Central Plains.

Having lost large tracts of land, they can only become tenant farmers, farm laborers, or even refugees. The slightest mistake among the people is a wake-up call for the feudal dynasty.

And when the conflict with the land was serious, the dynasty also entered its final stage. The late dynasty basically did not have the ability to launch wars to open up land to resettle these populations.

The imperial court's control over local areas will also decline sharply.

At present, it seems that there is a good medicine to alleviate the pain and delay death for Daming's unsolvable disease.

Swing your sword at the weak.

"If you work with the company, you will directly get good land, and the company will help you, but the land is not yours after all. The land you occupy with the government is yours, but the government may not be able to protect you and your land. Here You can take care of the business yourself."

"In that case, we brothers will get along well with each other along the way. Let's pick the land together and help as much as possible. After all, this land must be ours to feel at ease! Isn't that why we came out here!"

"The slaves sold by the Nanyang Company are cheaper in Luzon. Let me tell you, none of our brothers have a woman around them. So far, I think I might as well find a way to raise money to buy one."

"Tch! What a fool! Just go and grab it! How can a mere native go against the grandfathers!?"

Boat after boat of people of all kinds came rushing to Luzon.

Due to the Chinese people's hometown complex, those who were able to leave the Ming Dynasty for Luzon without any distractions were mostly those who were alone or had no property at all.

There are also many people with families in tow.

In addition, some were forcibly sent to Luzon to perform labor force.

And those who are rich and powerful can’t wait to engage in land annexation in Luzon.

After all, Luzon today is a newly established province of the Ming Dynasty. The official appointed by the imperial court is already on the way. The army has just won and has begun to recruit and expand the army in Luzon.

The governor of Luzon was temporarily taken over by Zheng Chenggong. The young man who had previously held the title of governor of Luzon was transferred to the position of deputy commander-in-chief by Longwu on the grounds of his youth, which was considered to be his contribution to allowing Ming Dynasty to send troops in a legitimate manner.

In addition, Wang Chengen also gained the position of governor of Luzon.

As a governor, he patrols quite far.

In the current Santiago Castle in Manila City, there is a map on the big meeting table, a very accurate map.

Wang Chengen gradually 'refined' the world map that Zhu Youjian gave him step by step, and now it was placed in front of Zheng Chenggong, which also shocked him.

"What does the northern part of the Southern Continent look like? I've also looked at the Spanish and Dutch maps, and they're not nearly as detailed as this map."

"We have searched for nautical charts from many foreign barbarians, and the drawings compiled by all parties need to be tested whether they are accurate. However, for this trip south to appease the foreign barbarians, it is more appropriate to use the Spanish nautical charts."
