At this time, Zhu Hongyu was wearing golden armor, a scarlet cloak behind him, and a long sword on his waist. He was walking like a dragon and a tiger, looking very majestic and imposing.
The sunlight outside the tent shines on the golden armor, which reflects dazzling light.
Li Weida and others looked from inside the tent to Zhu Hongyu at the entrance of the tent, which was equivalent to looking from darkness to light.
My vision was backlit for such a brief moment!
At this moment, they seemed to see a halo of light glowing on Zhu Hongyu's body.
It's like a fairy descending to earth!
Zhu Hongyu glanced around the tent, strode to the front seat, sat down, and then spoke.
"The King of the Ming Dynasty conquered his subordinates, expanded his territory and opened up new territories, and fought in the barbarous lands of Southeast Asia. It is really my great fortune to have the help of all the sages and sages in the Ming Dynasty!"
The Ming Dynasty has no roots in Batavia, especially under the current situation where the number of officials is seriously insufficient.
If Zhu Hongyu wants to quickly establish a ruling order in Batavia, he cannot do without the help of these local powerful factions.
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu has a very good attitude towards these people!
Liu Chuan and others stood up one after another and spoke respectfully.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, we have received the favor of our country, and this is exactly what we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, should do!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Dutch have oppressed us and the Han people. We, the Han people, have been waiting for Master Wang for a long time in this land of Southeast Asia!"
"When Master Wang arrives, we will see the blue sky for the Han people. We no longer have to be bullied by the Dutch!"
"..."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king!"
"In the past, my Ming Dynasty did not have the energy to take care of Nanyang, so the people of our Ming Dynasty were bullied by foreign barbarians in Nanyang!"
"But starting today, never again!"
"Nanyang will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the millions of Han people in Nanyang will also return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Hongyu glanced around and then spoke.
"I wonder if all of you sages are willing to contribute as much as you can to the Ming Dynasty in establishing its rule in Batavia?"
The leaders of these rebel armies spoke one after another.
"Your Highness, the Supervisor of the Kingdom, we are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty and serve the imperial court as hard as we can!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has entered Batavia for the first time, many departments and positions in the imperial court are in urgent need of corresponding officials. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend to Gu?"
Zhu Hongyu's intention was very clear. He wanted to drag the families behind these people into the Ming Dynasty's ruling order.
Let their children become officials and tie them to the Ming Dynasty's chariot!
After hearing this, everyone started recommending their own disciples.
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.
"Very good, Ming Dynasty will remember your contribution!"
Of course, the disciples recommended by these people cannot be directly appointed as officials.
Before taking up the post, officials need to undergo pre-appointment training and assessment.
After completing the assessment, in accordance with the principle of serving as an official in a different place, he will be transferred to another place to serve as an official!
Then, Zhu Hongyu divided Batavia into several administrative districts and implemented the state capital system as he had promised before.
Appoint the leader of the rebel army as the local governor!
Of course, in order to limit the power of local officials and prevent these people from becoming big.
Zhu Hongyu will definitely take precautions!
For example, after the battle in Batavia is over, they will order the disbandment of the rebel forces on hand.
The imperial court came forward to reward the rebel soldiers according to their merits, and then dispersed the rebel soldiers.
When appointing officials under his jurisdiction, Zhu Hongyu will strictly follow the principle of avoiding fellow villagers.
Officials are deployed from Luzon, Qiongzhou and other places to serve as officials in Batavia!
Disciples recommended by powerful local factions in Batavia will be transferred to other places to serve as officials.
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
He will definitely do what Zhu Hongyu promised. After all, Jun Wuxi said, but Zhu Hongyu will never sit back and watch the place grow bigger.
…
The leaders of these rebels got the results they wanted, and they all left Zhu Hongyu's tent with unconcealable joy on their faces.
Zhu Hongyu's personal guards brought him breakfast, a bowl of pimple soup and a plate of meat buns.
It’s the same food as the generals in the army!
Zhu Hongyu was eating breakfast while thinking about the Ming Dynasty's governance of Batavia.
The Dutch development of Batavia was actually very good!
Especially near the city of Batavia, large areas of fertile land and plantations for growing cash crops have been reclaimed.
Mining, logging and other industries have also reached a certain scale!
More importantly, Batavia is actually a commercial city. The businessmen from the East and the West who come and go every year are the lifeblood of this city.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Hongyu just smiled and decided that Batavia's development strategy should be implemented as usual.
Encourage agriculture, animal husbandry, and vigorously promote industry and commerce...
Zhu Hongyu had finished his breakfast and was going to inspect the military camp again to see how the preparations for the army's attack on the city were going.
Under the protection of the troops, Zhu Hongyu watched the large-caliber siege mortars being transported from the transport ship.
At this moment, a Ming army soldier trotted up to Zhu Hongyu and opened his mouth to report.
"Report to His Royal Highness the Supervisor!"
"Batavia sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty!"
"The envoy is now outside the camp asking for an audience!"
Zhu Hongyu raised his eyebrows and then said.
"Bring people here!"
Not long after, Raymond was brought to Zhu Hongyu.
Zhu Hongyu asked casually as he watched the Ming army unload artillery, gunpowder, and shells from the transport ship.
"I never thought we would meet again!"
A forced smile appeared on Raymond's face and he spoke.
"Dear Prince, I am here on behalf of Batavia to discuss surrender with Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.
"What, Governor Luo Bei has figured it out? Are you willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"
Raymond said.
"Governor Luo Bei has realized that the overall situation is irreversible and is ready to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
"But Ming Dynasty must agree to certain conditions before Governor Luo Bei will order the surrender."
Zhu Hongyu put his hands behind his back, gently touched his wrists with his fingers, and asked without changing his tone.
"Now, are you qualified to negotiate terms with Daming?"
Raymond's face looked ugly, but he still spoke.
"We, the Dutch East India Company, the fortress of Batavia, and thousands of brave and fearless soldiers."
"If we persist to the end, I believe that Ming Dynasty will not want to see such a scene."
If the Dutch East India Company chose to resist to the end and the Ming Dynasty wanted to capture the city of Batavia, the casualties it would have to pay would definitely be huge.
This is why Luo Bei dared to raise conditions with Da Ming!
Zheng Chenggong said from the side.
"Oh, it's not like my Ming Dynasty has never attacked fortified cities!"
"Manila City, Jelanja City, or the Portuguese fort in Macao, which one is not easy to defend but difficult to attack?"
"But has anyone blocked my Ming Dynasty's offensive?"
"What, Batavia City wants to give it a try?"
Zhu Hongyu stood up and acted as a good humanity.
"Haha, my Ming Dynasty has always valued peace!"
"The lives of soldiers are the most precious. If you can defeat others without fighting, that is the best!"
"Commander Raymond, you can tell Governor Luo Bei's conditions. If they are not excessive, I can make the decision and agree to it!"
