Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"I don't agree. Madrid has simply lost its head. How can it sell the only stronghold of the kingdom in the East to the Chinese? No matter how high the price is, this is treason, no, it is treason." In Manila Castle, the Governor of the Philippines, Count Selassie Sepulas Don Pleigh, yelled at Viscount Nievan Isan Ron Don Gamalo, the Minister of the Kingdom of Spain to China, who came to deliver the decree road. "I will never say yes."

"Count, please be sober, I am not here today to ask for your consent, but to inform you of this matter by the order of His Majesty the King and the State Council, whether you agree or not, the treaty has been signed, and everything has been legally changed " Viscount Gamaluo said coldly. "Moreover, if you insist on refusing to carry out Madrid's order, Earl, you will be deprived of all honors and titles by the Supreme Court of the Kingdom as a traitor."

Earl Pleasant was so angry that he had nothing to say, but at this time someone stood by his side: "I also oppose the Kingdom's decision to sell the Ecclesiastical Province of Manila. blasphemy, I call upon Rome to impose a ban on anyone who advocates selling the Philippines."

"Your Excellency the Archbishop," Viscount Gamaluo smiled at someone who spoke righteously. "The Pope's envoys are on the Chinese ship. If you think it is necessary to check His Majesty's oracle for yourself, I can ask the Chinese to send them to Manila." The smile of Viscount Gamalo looked like Full of ferocity of the devil. "Of course, you can also refuse to carry out the Pope's order, but you will be the archbishop who will be relapsed and go out."

It makes sense that Viscount Gamalo is full of confidence. In Europe at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the power of the pope had shrunk greatly, and had even become the plaything of the French king and the emperor (in Holy Rome in Germany). Therefore, in Louis XIV Under the pressure of Philip and King Philip, it is impossible for Rome to do things that are not conducive to France and Spain.

The archbishop was also scared back, but the representatives of the squires still insisted: "Here is the property that we have accumulated through a lifetime of hard work. The Kingdom's "government" cannot, cannot force us to give up the family property."

"No one forced you to give up your family business." Viscount Gamaluo responded flatly to the representative of the squire. "The "government" of the Kingdom just sold the sovereignty of the Philippines. As for your personal property, the Chinese Empire has already guaranteed it in the treaty."

Some of the gentry fell silent after getting the promise of property preservation, but others still shouted hysterically: "Are we going to live under the rule of the Chinese? No, they will definitely pay for our crimes of massacring the Chinese back then. "

"Then you sell the manor to the local Chinese, and then evacuate from the Philippines with the ships of the kingdom's "government"." For these country bumpkins with insatiable desires, His Excellency the Viscount, who is a nobleman, doesn't bother to care about their life and death. "At that time, you can go back to the mainland or go to New Spain. I guarantee that the Chinese will not stop you."[

Several squires looked at each other and said, "Damn it, if you sell the land to the Chinese, they will definitely lower the price."

"Enough." Viscount Gamaluo couldn't listen anymore. "You greedy bastards, when you think about your own wallets, have you ever considered the embarrassment of the kingdom's "government"?" Viscount Gamaluo pointed to the south. "Those Dutch merchants have already lost the entire East Indies. Do you think that the Chinese Empire would not dare to use force to attack the Philippines? Once the Chinese really use force to solve the problem, not only will the kingdom's "government" not get a single silver coin, I'm afraid All your belongings will also be wiped out." The viscount glanced at the people who were shocked by his words, and the hypocritical smile that was common in the court reappeared on his face. "So, the kingdom's sale of the Philippines is not to abandon you, but to save you. If you know how to be grateful, don't try to prevent this from happening. Gentlemen, I will represent the kingdom's "government" in a few days to receive the payment from the Chinese Empire. In a few months, you have enough time to deal with property issues, now, please act."

Under the coercion and lure of the Viscount, the helpless squires had no choice but to retire in spirits. When only the Governor and the Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Manila were left on the scene, Viscount Gamalo said to the Archbishop: "Your Excellency, according to the Kingdom" Government” and the agreement reached between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Chinese Empire, within the Chinese ruled area, the Ecclesiastical Province of Manila and the Diocese of Macau will be preserved, as long as they do not violate the laws and decrees of China, and do not go deep into areas where the Chinese Empire prohibits preaching, everything at present It will be unaffected, which should be a good thing for you and Rome."

"Perhaps," the archbishop responded bitterly. "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Viscount, I think I should pray for the fate of the Spaniards in the Philippines. Excuse me, I have to leave first."

"Please go ahead." Watching the archbishop disappear, Viscount Gamalo said to the frustrated Earl Ply. "Dear Cersei, you idiot, the orders of the "government" of the kingdom cannot be disobeyed, but this does not mean that you can no longer cause trouble for the Chinese." Bright. "What we can't get, we must not let the Chinese get it easily, I think you will understand how to do it"

Just as the viscount Gamaluo, who had a ulterior motive, instigated Governor Plai to stumbling China, Lu Weijun was also admonishing a group of people in the Chinese National Messenger Yamen in Manila: "The purchase of Luzon by the imperial court has become a settlement. In order to avoid The local Xiyi are dissatisfied with the "rebellion", Mr. Kou, you must be prepared to deal with it."

China's envoy to Manila, Kou Chao, and the others were all excited. After all, China's acquisition of a new territory is a great thing for the country, and for them themselves, once they open a new Protectorate, it is the so-called near-water tower first, not sure. Promotion, but getting a good seat is much better than being an envoy in front of the barbarians.

"Please don't worry, my lord. I will send someone to contact the local Chinese gentry later and tell them the news." Kou Chao's idea is to hurry up and spread the news first, and stabilize the Chinese immigrants before solving the local aborigines. and the problems of the Spanish colonists. "I think these overseas wanderers will be happy to join."

"Don't forget the lessons of Yanyun Sixteen States and Liaodong Han people." Lu Weijun reminded. "They have been ruled by Xiyi for many years, and the system of this dynasty hinders them, so they may not sincerely submit to the imperial court, so they should not rely too much on it." This is one point. "In addition, the imperial court will dispatch the Shence Army as soon as possible, and food and fodder will naturally become the key. You have to prepare early."

Xie Guozhen, the Deputy Envoy of the Frontier Kingdom, inquired: "Master Lu, in order to prevent the local Xiyi from taking actions that will not accept the order of the king abroad, do we need to prepare our weapons?"

"It makes sense, I'll write a letter right away, you send someone to pick up a batch of ordnance from Mr. Wen, the sailor." Lu Weijun swept all the people present. "If possible, find a way to recruit a guard team. It doesn't need to be too many soldiers. Just give Xiyi a warning and let them know that the court has iron fists besides Huairou."

Kou Chao thought for a while: "My lord, do you want to ask the water transfer division to send a ship to deter Manila harbor?"

Lu Weijun pondered for a while: "Transfer troops? Forget it, I will send a letter in the name of the Imperial Envoy Plenipotentiary to request the Zhennan Navy Division to dispatch troops. When you pick up the ordnance later, let Mr. Wen send the letter as soon as possible." send out."

"My lord deputy," said a military attache sent by the Staff Division of the Privy Council to the embassy in Manila. "The lower officials thought it was necessary to prevent Xiyi from distributing the unacceptable ordnance to the local natives before the evacuation and handover."

The minds of people who are not of our race must be different, so the possibility proposed by the military officer is not non-existent, so Lu Weijun immediately instructed: "I will clearly restrain them when paying the first installment of Xiyi, but consider When it comes to it, it will inevitably be taken off, so the embassy must give a reminder when discussing with the local gentry leaders, in case of accidents.”[

Seeing that Lu Weijun accepted his opinion, the military officer was very excited, so there was a report: "My lord, apart from using the natives of the islands, the Xiyi may negotiate peace with the southern Sulu country. If they cede all of Mindanao and the Visayas Sulu, the court will inevitably have conflicts with the country in the future."

Speaking of the Sulu Kingdom, although the country paid tribute many times in the former Ming Dynasty, and some kings even died in China, as time passed, the relationship between the country and China has long been alienated. There was a conflict with China, so its country is not friendly to China.Of course, Huaxia is afraid of such a small country, but once the war is fired, money will flow like water, which is also a troublesome thing.And even if the Spaniards don't hook up with them and don't intentionally bury the disaster, Sulu, a small country with arrogance and arrogance, may not take the initiative to provoke trouble, so it is indeed necessary to solve this problem in advance.

Lu Weijun was a civil servant who didn't know anything about military matters, so he didn't know what to do, so he asked, "What's your surname?"

Seeing that the superior attaches great importance to it, the junior military officer responded in a hurry: "Don't dare, the subordinate's surname is Deng Mingfang."

"Master Deng," Lu Weijun nodded to the flattering opponent. "You think it's better to deal with the Sulu Kingdom."

"Are you asking me, my lord? I'm just a second-class deputy lieutenant." Deng Fang was still modest, but Lu Weijun's face turned serious, and he had no choice but to express his thoughts in a bamboo tube. . "My lord, don't you want to invite navy ships to Manila to frighten Xiyi? It's better to invite the Zhennan navy to come out in full force, and perform a martial arts show in Sulu Sea and Morro Bay first, which may be able to calm down the country, and then send people to fight with them." Negotiations to clarify the national boundaries, may be able to maintain peace for more than ten years."

Lu Weijun sharply asked: "Ten years of peace, why not ten thousand years of peace?"

"If you want peace for ten thousand years, you can only cut it down to frighten the natives in the south. However, Mindanao has a complex terrain and many jungles. It is really not a good place to use troops, so we can only sit back and watch it grow. Once Peter grows, I'm afraid You have to be ambitious again, that's why the lower officials said that it will be peaceful for more than ten years." Deng Fang said. "Of course, in fact, there is no need to be afraid. The natives are afraid of power but not virtuous. As long as they are regularly rectified, they will not cause serious trouble to the court."
