1373. Give it to as many officials as you can occupy.
Yang Fan did not have the ability to manage the entire island. After all, the situation in Luzon was very complicated and the area was large. In later generations, there were more than 160 languages spoken in the Philippines and I don’t know how many ethnic groups there were.
As a rule, imperial power does not go to the countryside.
Yang Fan can only support the big clans in the local area to maintain the place.
If the native leaders are willing to cooperate, they can also be granted official status. If they are unwilling to cooperate, they can coexist peacefully as long as they do not cause trouble. As long as they do not interfere with the development of copper mines.
In order to occupy this area, Yang Fan planned to select talents from the Han people and add them to the local administrative agencies. He would divide counties in Luzon Island and create a rough regional management.
Various local forces will be slowly digested in the future.
In addition, Yang Fan plans to recruit another regiment of army soldiers from Han people. In this way, Manila City will have a regiment of pirates and a regiment of local Han people, plus a small fleet. As the military force of the Ming Dynasty Governor-General of Luzon, use
To intimidate the natives.
Of course, it also prevents other Western colonists from coming back to make plans.
Yang Fan plans to station an administrative team of about fifty people here in addition to two regiments stationed in Manila City to effectively manage Luzon Island.
From now on, Manila, as the city of Luzon Prefecture, will be mainly responsible for organizing local natives and Han people to develop copper mines and build a large copper smelting factory here. In the future, this place will be a copper city.
The second order issued by Yang Fan was to establish a temporary court of Luzon Prefecture. All Han people who have been illegally harmed in the past thirty years can file complaints to the Luzon Governor's Mansion. The court will send troops to arrest and summon the defendants.
Court, attend the court hearing.
The court will make a judgment in accordance with the law in accordance with the "Da Ming Law". In addition to criminal penalties, there are also civil liabilities such as compensation.
In order to occupy this area, Yang Fan planned to select talents from the Han people and add them to the local administrative agencies. First, he would set up the framework of the county government. Then, he would set up towns and townships below the county level to allow them to govern themselves. Towns and townships
The township adopts the method of direct election by the people, and the election is held once a year.
The biggest advantage of autonomy is that their conflicts need to be resolved by themselves, and the government can act as a mediator and does not interfere with their local affairs except collecting taxes.
Yang Fan is not worried. These places are controlled by big families and large tribes of natives. If their rule is too dark, the people will vote with their feet. After all, Manila will be governed very well. They will go to Manila to seek life.
Yang Fan has always believed that giving people the power to choose is more important than giving them anything.
Yang Fan's third decree is that a school will be opened in Manila and every county to learn Chinese. Chinese will become the only official language in Luzon. After all, more than 160 languages are not enough. There must be a unified language and
Only words will do.
In later generations, the Philippines relied on English as its official language. Their English was much better than that of Indians. Therefore, a large number of customer service calls in the West were outsourced to them.
The school is also preparing to promote Confucianism to the natives. In the future, every place Yang Fan conquers will be prepared to promote Confucianism. Such good things must naturally be shared with the world, especially Europeans. They always create some paradise for children and adults.
How can we become a human battlefield and a grave for the elderly?
Isn't this the same as the Huns' erroneous idea of valuing the young and the strong and despising the old and the weak?
The caterpillars of the Ming Dynasty will have a good place to go in the future, that is, to teach and educate people all over the world. Teach these barbarians what they are, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust. Let them know etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame. Their justice must also be in line with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Implement the following
Filial piety governs the world.
In the future world, except for the Han people who no longer need to study Confucianism, all other ethnic groups need to study Confucianism and use Confucian scholars as officials.
Yang Fan does not need scholars from the Ming Dynasty. He only needs graduates from new-style schools.
I am afraid that all Confucian scholars will be unemployed in the future. After all, the imperial examination is connected to the officialdom. Yang Fan is kind-hearted and cannot watch them lose their careers.
The way out that Master Yang gave is to work as education officials in various colonies, so that these barbarians can also enjoy the excellent civilization achievements of China for thousands of years. Lords, ministers, fathers, sons, sons, the glory of the Four Books and Five Classics will shine on the earth.
From now on, if the conquered barbarians want to be naturalized, become local civil servants, or obtain Ming Dynasty household registration, they must pass the imperial examination. This will be their only way out.
On the third day, more than a hundred Han clan leaders, family heads, chamber of commerce general managers, etc. came to Yang Fan.
"The land of Luzon will belong to the Ming Dynasty from now on. You local sages must take action. Race to occupy the wasteland and occupy as much as you can. I will sell you cement and muskets. Even tiger squatting cannons, Buddha
A machine gun will do, too." Yang Fan made a confident speech.
"Uncle, then we have become the local bullies." An old patriarch in his seventies asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I am going to make you a local bully. You build a castle in the local area, occupy the land, and develop the manor. I will give you rubber tree saplings in the future, and you can also develop rubber plantations, and I will buy your rubber."
"Uncle, if I build my own army, will the court punish me?" asked another head of the family.
"I represent the imperial court. You can do whatever you want. I will guide you. I will give you as many officials as you can occupy and control as much land as you can. I have a full supply of muskets, artillery, and war horses.
I can sell them all to you."
A family head asked: "What if the natives attack us? Some large tribes of natives here can even muster one or two thousand soldiers."
Yang Fan said: "The garrison in Manila will support you. The natives are doing their own thing and are in disarray. You build the castle, buy the muskets and artillery, and take care of the servants of your own manor. If there are many of them, and they come to attack you, you will
Hold on to the castle and then encroach on their territory bit by bit."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Fan looked at these, and the heads of the family who had been excited by himself could not hold back, and continued: "If you really can't beat it, just attack the garrison in Manila."
Ask for help. Once the garrison arrives, it will naturally defeat these rabble."
There was a murmur of discussion below. They all felt that this matter was completely feasible.
Although these families are a major force of the Han people in the local area, they have always been oppressed. The main reason is that they are not allowed to be armed.
Now that this place belongs to the Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that the government will not extend beyond the county seat. Locally, this is to allow the big families to govern themselves. This is a good opportunity. Who doesn't want to carve out a large territory for their descendants.
Moreover, many of these people are from Fujian and Guangdong. The local mountainous areas are also full of earthen buildings and forts. The local area is maintained by wealthy families. They are quite familiar with this.
"Let's do it. My uncle has already talked about it for this reason. If we don't do it, are we still considered men?"
"I'll gather all the family members right now, buy weapons from my uncle, and organize a militia when I get back."
Yang Fan watched with satisfaction as these people geared up, and the old men with thick necks and blushing excitedly were all excited. They waited until their discussions subsided.
Yang Fan said: "There is one more thing, I hope you will join me. I am planning to open an academy in Manila to cultivate some local talents. The outstanding children of each clan can be sent to school. I will invite the great scholars of the Ming Dynasty to teach them carefully.
.You have been away from the Ming Dynasty for too long, and you also need to learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty."
These old men are all human beings, and Yang Fan wants their eldest son and grandson to come to Manila to study. There is no need to explain many things clearly. They are foxes that have been around for thousands of years, and everyone understands.
Mr. Yang delegates power to them in this way and supports their development in this way. They must also be sensible. By sending the best children in their family, the eldest son and grandson, to attend school in Manila, they can be regarded as showing their loyalty to Mr. Yang.
Although it is clear that the purpose of this matter is to take hostages. But, thinking about it on the other hand, this is not a good thing. From now on, these children are on Master Yang's car. Their future prospects are unlimited.
If they hadn't heard that Mr. Yang's wife was a general, a famous second-generation ancestor in the capital, or a stall owner in Dongchang, it made them shudder. They all wanted to give their daughter away, and their granddaughter came to take care of her.
"I, I will send my eldest grandson to you when you get back."
"My three grandsons are the best. I sent them all."
…
Yang Fan saw these old men on the road and smiled with satisfaction.
