"No, this is completely unacceptable." Simon was very angry.
"This is not negotiation, this is blackmail."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "The alliance under the city has nothing to talk about at all."
Yang Fan raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said: "My people will take you ashore. From the moment you walk into the church, we start timing. If we don't receive a satisfactory answer within an hour, you don't need to wait.
Contact us. We will destroy the church and everything inside."
"Lin Yuan, send Major Simon back."
Simon opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, Lin Yuan had already made a gesture asking him to leave. Simon had no choice but to bow politely and leave. Because this was not something he could decide.
The governor was silent for a long time after listening to Simon's report.
Although he had never met the count of the Ming Dynasty, intuitively, he believed that what this man said would be fulfilled. This hour was his last time to think about it.
He was pacing back and forth, feeling restless. He knew clearly that Spain was an isolated existence in southeastern Asia, and they did not have any reinforcements.
Other European forces may be more likely to see the joke.
Portugal has become independent from Spain. Moreover, they are the only European power that has legally obtained the right of residence. They are not worried about Macau, their place of residence, being taken back.
As long as they are willing to pay bribes, they can live there forever. They will only look at these idiots in Spain as a joke. They will not lose their minds and come to the aid of the Spaniards. This might anger Ming Dynasty and cause Macau to also
was taken back.
As for the Dutch, not to mention, last year they tried to sneak attack Malacca City. The geographical location there is better than that of Manila. Now the two sides have turned against each other.
He only came here three years ago and had just recovered the money to run the governor. Now he has lost this territory directly. The king will have to throw him into prison when he returns. However, there is no hope of resistance.
"Sir, there are still ten minutes left."
Time passed quickly, Simon finally couldn't help but remind him.
They are just officers. If they surrender, they will definitely be able to save their lives. As for whether they will go to court-martial after returning home, they don't care. Let's focus on the immediate future.
The Governor sighed, he still did not have the courage to die for his country.
"Hand out the white flag, let's surrender. I hope the count can give us respect and security."
In the last five minutes, the Spaniards finally walked out of the church with a white flag, handed their weapons to the pirates, and surrendered unconditionally.
Manila has a ready-made prison to imprison natives and Han Chinese who tried to resist Spanish rule. Now, Donkey Dan imprisoned them. Let them experience their treatment of prisoners.
Following this, the pirate group entered the city of Manila under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
There was a sensation throughout Luzon Island. Han people rushed to tell each other, Master Wang is here! Master Wang is here!
They have been bullied miserably in the past hundred years, both by Spaniards and natives.
This time I heard that Master Wang would not leave once he came, and would be stationed here all year round. This place would become an overseas capital of the Ming Dynasty, with Manila City as the capital.
From now on, they will have to register their household registration and they will become official citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
The Han people in Manila who were the first to get the news cried with joy. They used to be third-class people. After the Spaniards and natives, they were Han people. Now this place has become the land of the Ming Dynasty. They are the first-class people.
The news that Luzon had become the territory of the Ming Dynasty spread from Manila to every corner of Luzon Island as if it had wings. When countless Han people heard the news, they came to Manila to see Master Wang excitedly.
Many of them have been here for several generations, and were born and raised here. The memories of their hometown have long been blurred, and they have all heard stories told to them by their fathers and ancestors since they were young.
Now when they heard that the king's master from his homeland was coming, they all came to see him.
Good news came one after another. I heard that the uncle who brought the army defeated the Spaniards and imprisoned them all. From now on, the Han people will be the first race here. Moreover, there is no need to pay taxes. All Han people are tax-free.
The natives remained unchanged and continued to pay normal taxes according to Spanish rules. Their status remained unchanged, with no preferential treatment or increased burdens.
Yang Fan did this not to cause too much turmoil and to facilitate a smooth transition.
The scope of the Philippine country we see today was formed due to independence from colonialism. It was not naturally established due to ethnic, national, and geographical factors.
There are many such countries, including Africa, America, India and other former colonial countries. When these countries became independent, they did not consider ethnic, religious and other factors. When they became independent, they received a large amount of territory that did not belong to their main ethnic group.
This has also caused many wars in third world countries today.
Today's Philippines is actually composed of three regions. Luzon Island in the north is one. The economy here is developed and there are a large number of Han people who have fully developed the agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce here. The natives can also cultivate agriculture.
The central archipelago is full of fishing people. The southern island of Mindanao is full of green believers.
These three places were first forced together by Spain and then by the United States to form the Philippine country. The nationalities, races, religions, and economies of these three places are completely different.
Now the Spaniards actually control this part of Luzon Island, which has the largest number of Han people.
Yang Fan came to the Governor's Mansion with his entourage. Along the way, he was warmly welcomed by the Han people who poured into the city after hearing the news. They finally had a protector. From then on, they were no longer an object of bullying or plunder.
The law that will be implemented here from now on is the "Da Ming Law". All other laws have been abolished.
Yang Fan then began to issue orders to cancel all Spanish decrees and decrees from that day on and replace them with newly issued decrees from the newly established Ming Dynasty Governor-General of Luzon.
The first order issued by the new government was to summon all the big Chinese family heads, clan heads, businessmen, and landowners from all over the island to the Governor's Mansion for a meeting. Yang Fan needed to learn about the local situation from them and discuss with them how to manage this big island.
.
On the map, Yang Fan planned to divide Luzon Island into 24 counties according to different races and ethnic groups. These counties needed local Han people to serve as officials and these large ethnic groups to organize rural soldiers.
The Han people were massacred because they were unarmed and did not form a local force.
Yang Fan decided to implement a large estate system here. It was similar to the Wubao system of local powerful people in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Fan would support them in building castles and developing large estates. They would be responsible for maintaining local security and forming private armed forces.
After all, the world is too big to be managed. If every place has a county system, the management costs will make Yang Fan bankrupt. Therefore, he only seizes central cities and strategic nodes. In other places, he will release local powerful people.
Flood beast.
Just like the feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty. As long as you are Han Chinese and as long as you have the ability, Yang Fan will support you. You are encouraged to expand territory for your family, build your own castles and manors, and build your own armed forces. As long as you surrender to Yang Fan
