In the castle palace, the soldiers of the Ming army were extremely busy. Boxes after boxes of gold, silver, gems, jade, etc. were carried out. Each large box was very heavy.
At the same time, the gold plates, ivory, coral, gems, jade, etc. used for decoration were all dismantled and packed in boxes. These things were all to be transported to the capital and presented to Emperor Hongzhi.
Everyone could see clearly, and no one dared to move. Of course, according to the rules, Emperor Hongzhi took about 60% of the wealth, and the remaining 40% was divided among the officials above.
Almost two achievements belong to low-level soldiers like them.
This rule was originally set by Liu Jin, and now it has become a tacit rule for treasure hunting at sea. Without rules, there is no rule. We cannot lose our eyes in the face of wealth, and end up scheming against each other, but we get nothing.
arrive.
Set rules so that everyone can gain benefits and benefits from them, so that sustainable development can continue.
The fleet that returned from Golden Continent last year brought back wealth worth thirty million taels of silver, which was distributed according to a certain rule. Every crew member on the ship received several thousand taels of silver.
Everyone has turned around and is now a rich man, and everyone has returned to the Ming Dynasty from the Golden Continent thousands of miles away. Not only have they made money, but they can also live to enjoy this wealth.
Take what you deserve.
Even the soldiers outside the palace who are constantly searching and plundering are the same. Although each one has a big bag or a small bag, they still have to be gathered together in the end and distributed according to this rule.
If anyone is interested in this matter, no matter who it is, he will die, because the person who holds the most power is Emperor Hongzhi, who is the current Crown Prince and the dignitaries of the dynasty.
They can eat the biggest cake even though they are thousands of miles away, so naturally they have to try their best to maintain this rule.
Of course they eat meat, and the brothers below also eat bones and drink soup. Everyone has a share, and everyone makes a lot of money. That's all.
All the valuable things in the palace were packed into boxes, and everyone was even waving hoes around. The floor was covered with silver bricks. This could not be ignored.
And they dig deep into the ground to see if there are any treasures buried underground. In short, they want to loot this place completely.
In the Manila Bay area, no one got off most of the ships, and even many ships were still anchored on the sea, because everyone had seen the turmoil in Manila and was afraid that it would affect them.
It is safer to stay on the ship. If something happens, everyone can escape immediately. For most people in the business, they are taking a big risk by going out to sea this time, so they are more cautious in doing things.
However, the battle did not last long. Under a wave of intensive shelling, the indigenous people in the entire Manila Bay area were scared to death, scurrying around like headless flies.
Soon, as the Ming army landed, everything in Manila began to be controlled by the Ming army, and everyone felt more at ease.
On the 'Hui Commercial House', Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang looked at Manila in front of them and discussed with each other.
"The killing is so heavy that the river is starting to turn red~"
Zhu Benduan looked at the ruins of the Manila Bay area, then looked at the water of the Pasig River that had begun to turn red, and couldn't help but say.
"I guess I saw these natives killing my Ming people. Although the killing was heavy, this is a barbarian land. These natives do not understand benevolence, righteousness and morality. It is useless to reason with them. Only by killing their heads will they do it.
Afraid of us, we dare not treat my Ming people like this again."
Feng Xiang thought for a while and said.
"I'm afraid it's more than that. I guess they want to occupy this place and build a place similar to Ryukyu Castle here."
Zhu Benduan nodded, thought for a while and then said: "The geographical location here is very important. Luzon is very close to Ryukyu Island. To the south, you can go to Australia, and to the west, you can go to Siam, Annan, Brunei, and Suzhou.
Lu, Malacca, after passing Malacca, you can also go to Tianzhu, the Arabian region."
"Occupying this place is equivalent to having a foothold in the Nanyang region. It will be very convenient to travel between Nanyang and the Ming Dynasty in the future. You can also rely on this place to radiate the entire Nanyang region. Then there will be a steady stream of wealth.
Gather here."
Zhu Benduan pulled out a world map, pointed to the location of Manila, and analyzed it in detail.
"From what you said, I'm afraid they really have such a plan."
"Manila is a natural high-quality harbor. The terrain here is very flat and open, and the land is extremely fertile. In addition, there is a certain foundation, so it is a very ideal place."
After Feng Xiang heard this, he thought about it and nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Otherwise, why do you think they would bring the Ming army here? They have cannons and muskets, and they are all armed to the teeth."
"Let's see, this castle will be captured soon."
"We are going to kill a lot of people here and give these indigenous people a color so that they will not dare to resist in the future. Whether it is a plantation or a mine, these indigenous people are the best labor force."
Zhu Benduan smiled and said.
"Let's go to the shore. Let's go and look around. We can invest here in the future. If we invest and have a base in Nanyang, we can have a fixed course and ship traffic in the future, and we won't have to worry about running out of money in the future.
."
After speaking, Prime Minister Feng also gave the order. Soon, Hui merchants began to dock.
Not only the Hui merchants, but also the ships of other trading houses saw that Manila Bay had stabilized, and the Ming army easily controlled everything. Everyone also began to disembark one after another, preparing to take a closer look in Manila.
Soon, large ships crowded the small docks and ports in the Manila Bay area. Many ships were unable to berth in, so they had no choice but to use small boats to transfer.
Everyone slowly gathered in the open space in the Akito neighborhood. It was definitely much more comfortable on land than on a boat, especially for those who get seasick. They have long been eager to land.
Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang were walking around the neighborhood and saw that every household was crying, and they saw the Ming people feebly cleaning up their messy homes.
"My son~"
There was an old mother who had lost her son and kept wailing while holding her son's body.
"My child~my child~"
There is a mother who has lost her child, holding the body of her child, and her eyes have lost all color.
"Daughter~"
Some young women were humiliated and committed suicide in shame, leaving their gray-haired parents in agony.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhu Benduan fell silent.
"They deserve to be killed, these natives deserve to be killed~"
"He deserves to be killed, he deserves to be killed, but he did this to me, a Ming Dynasty citizen."
Feng Xiang also nodded and said, only by witnessing the tragic situation here can one understand that these natives deserve to die and understand why Du Mingen started the killing spree.
Soon, the two of them walked and came to the open space where they planned to burn Old Chen to death. The wooden stakes that bound Old Chen's family were still there, as were the firewood.
"You can't kill someone without a nod, but you want to burn a whole family alive, including the children. If you catch those people, you should let them taste what it's like to be burned alive."
Zhu Benduan looked at the wooden piles and firewood in front of him and said harshly, "At this time, there is no mercy at all, because the enemy's cruelty has made them lose their mercy."
"Caught, caught~"
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, and groups of Ming troops were seen walking towards here, suppressing the natives one by one. One of them was obviously Lapu who wanted to burn Old Man Chen's family to death.
At this time, Lapp was like a bereaved dog, with his head lowered and his whole body tied up. Two strong Ming soldiers around him clamped tightly on him and forced him to walk this way.
"Haha, you have today too~"
The old man Chen on the side laughed happily. He was the one who just led a group of Ming troops to arrest this Lapu. It was he who killed his daughter, and it was also this Lapu who wanted to burn his whole family to death.
He didn't even have time to clean up his home just now, so he wanted to find this Lapu and avenge his daughter.
Not only Old Man Chen and Lapu, but also groups of Ming troops came here pressing down many natives. At the same time, a large number of natives were driven out from all corners by the Ming troops.
Some natives did not participate in the looting of Mingren's neighborhood. When the killing reached a certain level, Du Mingen also asked people to stop. Of course, the more important thing was to keep these people alive and help build a stronghold.
Similarly, Du Mingen wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. The king of Luzon was captured, and a large number of the princes and ministers of Luzon were also arrested. Most of the culprits like Lapu who looted the Mingren neighborhood were killed.
, there are still some fish that slipped through the net, and now they are caught.
Du Mingen wanted to use the heads of these people to pay homage to the dead Ming people. He also wanted to kill chickens and scare monkeys to let the remaining natives understand that the Ming people were not easy to mess with.
We are more easy-going and peaceful, we are modest and polite, but this does not mean that we are easy to offend. If you make us angry, we will be more cruel and fierce than you.
Groups of Ming troops escorted many natives here. At the same time, King Lagan of Luzon and many princes and ministers were also escorted from the castle.
At this moment, all the valuable things on Lagan's body had been removed, and his face was ashen. He didn't know how Mingren would treat him. He had already revealed all his wealth, and only asked Du Mingen to be able to
