The first thousand one hundred and sixty-four chapters let them know what the emperor's grace is
Under this kind of big policy, the officials of the empire in overseas areas are more inclined to seize a piece of land, drive away the indigenous people, and then distribute it to the immigrants from the country for cultivation!
Luzon, Bandan and Gehe Prefecture all do this, and the most successful one is Bandan Prefecture.
The report sent back to the mainland by Zhu Jiaxiang, the governor of Bandan Prefecture, at the end of last year said this: "Everyone under the rule of Bandan is a subject of the empire!"
The implication is that there is not a single indigenous person in the actual control area of Wanten Prefecture!
When Zhu Jiaxiang was appointed as the governor of Wandan Prefecture, he implemented a policy that as long as the land was not occupied by people and occupied a place, the indigenous people of that place would be expelled!
This has been done in the past, and in the foreseeable future, the Banten authorities will continue to do this. When the Bandan Mansion of the Tang Empire actually controls the entire Sudan Island, it means that there is no longer any authority on Sudan Island.
A native!
This kind of policy is not called colonization, but the expansion of territory!
Therefore, Luzon Prefecture and Banten Prefecture are not overseas colonies of the empire, but overseas territories directly under the empire!
It is true that the practice of occupying one place and immigrating to another place implemented by overseas territories such as Banten has meant that their actual control area has not been large in the past few years. The actual control area of Banten is only the two sides of the Sunda Strait.
As well as Bali, the actual control area of Luzon Province is only the Manila Bay area and a small colony on Mindao Island.
Other places are actually still under the control of local indigenous people!
However, this does not mean that the empire has no control over those areas that are still under indigenous rule. On Banten Island, the Banten authorities have actually annihilated several surrounding indigenous lords and supported new indigenous lords.
, and then supported them in starting a war with other lords, turning the entire Banten Island upside down.
In recent years, the various lords of the Bazhang Kingdom on Banten Island have been fighting. Although the Bazhang royal family is weak and unable to control the overall situation, it is also closely related to the intervention of the Banten government authorities.
Whether it is in Fusang, Banten Island, or Luzon, the local Tang officials always like to provoke wars among the local indigenous people and watch them kill each other!
Under this background, it is not surprising that the indigenous lords who participated in the attack on Wandan City were anxious to return to their respective territories, because they knew with their toes that the Wandan authorities of the Tang Dynasty would definitely
To take revenge, this revenge may be that they personally go into battle, or it may be that they support the previous lords who took refuge in the Tang Dynasty to launch an attack.
In short, a new round of large-scale melee in Banten Island is inevitable, and they need to prepare as soon as possible!
The pirates ran away, the indigenous army also retreated, and the city of Wandan, which was facing a crisis of destruction and death a day ago, also ushered in peace!
Colonel Yang Hong did not choose to take advantage of the situation and pursue the enemy when they retreated!
There are not many troops in Wandan City. If they go out of the city to pursue, if someone comes to attack Wandan City again, then it will be really over. Moreover, it is not so easy to pursue. Those pirates are one by one.
They are all very cunning. They will run away as soon as they see the situation is not right, and they will still break into pieces, so there is no way to pursue them.
As for the indigenous people, they are the local snakes and know best about the road traffic on Banten Island. However, the Tang people are still a group of outsiders after all. They are unfamiliar with the people and the place and carry out large-scale pursuits. They can easily fall into the sewers.
Capsize!
Therefore, after the pirates and natives retreated, Yang Hong did not choose to pursue them. Apart from sending a small number of manpower to clean up the battlefield outside the city and repair the dock facilities in the port, there was no large-scale action.
In this case, the efforts of Xia Zhiquan and others who were rushing back all the way were in vain. When Xia Zhiquan finally returned to Wandan City with his fleet seven days later, he heard that the pirates
The pirates and the natives had already run away. After careful questioning, they found out that it was the pirates and the natives who had an internal conflict.
But even if Wandan City is safe and sound, Xia Zhiquan is still extremely angry. These pirates and natives are really bold!
Those pirates come and go without a trace. The encirclement and suppression will not be possible for a while, but those indigenous people are on Banten Island. If no retaliatory measures are taken, these indigenous people may still think that they are big.
Tang people can be bullied at will.
So on the second day after returning to Bandan City, Xia Zhiquan was asking for a battle, requesting a new round of military strikes against the hostile indigenous lords on Bandan Island. This time, if several lords were not destroyed, Xia Zhiquan would be in trouble.
Let go of the hatred in your heart!
Zhu Jiaxiang, who was lying on the hospital bed with only two or three hours awake all day and night, was completely unable to handle government affairs. He had already sent a letter to the empire, saying that he did not have much time left, and begging His Majesty to grant him permission.
After retiring from old age and returning to his hometown, he wanted to die at home rather than in the wild lands overseas... At the same time, he wanted the empire to send the new governor of Wandan Prefecture to replace him.
However, even if there is a communication speedboat, it will take a lot of time to come and go. It is not known whether Zhu Jiaxiang can survive until the reply from the country, let alone take a sea ship to return to the country. With such a long bumpy sea, he cannot
It's very possible that it can hold up.
Looking at Zhu Jiaxiang's sick appearance, Xia Zhiquan also sighed. He couldn't bear to disturb him, but the military did not have the power to order troops to attack the surrounding indigenous people. In the entire Wandan Mansion, there were
Only Zhu Jiaxiang has this power.
Although Zhu Jiaxiang is seriously ill and sleeps most of the day, although he is not in good spirits when he is awake, his sanity is still there!
After listening to the reports of Xia Zhiquan, Yang Hong, Cheng Zhizhai and others, he did not make any long speech, but simply said: "In this case, then kill several lords appropriately and let them know
What does the emperor’s grace mean?”
He approved the military plan. He called Cheng Zhizhai again, and then said: "I am afraid that I will not be able to support the arrival of people from the country. From today on, I will officially authorize you to act as the governor of Wandan Prefecture with all the powers."
!”
After saying that, he did not look at Cheng Zhizhai and others again, but closed his eyes!
He did not fall into a coma, but recalled his experience in governing the Bandan Mansion in the past two years. Although the Bandan Mansion was a remote overseas country, he was still sent to this ghost place, but what had to be said was that he
When he took office in Wandan Mansion, he was truly in charge of the government. He held military and political power and was the actual ruler of the entire Wandan Mansion.
One word can determine the life or death of those indigenous princes and lords!
This kind of power is something that even the prefects of the top prefectures in the country cannot possess!
It is a pity that no matter how prestigious you are overseas, it is still not as good as at home!
As he thought about it, his thoughts gradually drifted along the long river of time. He remembered how high-spirited he was when he was born in a poor family in his early years and passed the Qianming Juren Examination at the age of only seventeen.
When he got married, he was favored by many gentry families. During that period, an endless stream of matchmakers almost broke the door of his family. Finally, he married the legitimate daughter of the local gentry family.
But he failed in the next three subjects in a row. He didn't take the exam for the fourth subject because of Ding You. When he took the exam for the fifth time, he was already nearly forty years old, and he still failed in the exam!
From a seventeen-year-old talented rookie in the examination hall to a down-and-out scholar in his forties, this was the first half of his life!
After taking part in the examination for the fifth time, he still failed. When the Tang Dynasty swept across the southern provinces, like many failed scholars, he felt unwilling to accept it, and also because of his desire to serve as an official and for glory and wealth. Zhu Jiaxiang
Without the slightest hesitation, he surrendered to the thieves...
After joining the Tang Dynasty, his official career went smoothly, not to mention how smooth it was in the first few years. However, God was destined not to want him to go smoothly in this life, so in the eighth year of Xuanping, he suffered a setback in the officialdom struggle.
After failing, he was mentioned to Bandan by his competitors and became the first prefect of Bandan Prefecture.
Nearly fifty years of ups and downs in life have allowed Zhu Jiaxiang to see through many things!
He knows that it is unlikely that he will return to China alive. Now his only hope is that the bones can be transported back to China for burial after death!
Fallen leaves return to their roots!
Secondly, he does not want his posthumous name to be tarnished in any way!
When 20,000 enemies besieged the city before, Zhu Jiaxiang said that Wandan City must be defended, because he Zhu Jiaxiang could not afford to lose face, and the empire could not afford to lose face!
Therefore, before he chose to authorize Cheng Zhizhai to act as the prefect, he first decided to launch a retaliation against the surrounding indigenous people. He did not allow any stain on the last day of his official career.
Zhu Jiaxiang gradually fell asleep. Cheng Zhizhai, Xia Zhiquan and Yang Hong looked at Zhu Jiaxiang on the bed. These three people sighed in unison. Zhu Jiaxiang has been so prestigious in Wandan in the past two years. You're welcome.
It is said that in the past two years, Zhu Jiaxiang was the king in Bandan, holding military and political power.
This kind of power is not possessed by any feudal minister in the country!
Only a few prefects and prefects in overseas directly-governed territories can possess many powers such as military, political, and diplomatic powers at the same time.
But such a person, who in the past two years has made many natives frightened when they heard his name, is now pale, and his whole body is exuding a strong aura of death.
Seeing Zhu Jiaxiang like this, Cheng Zhizhai thought to himself:
There is no guarantee that Zhu Jiaxiang today will not be him tomorrow!
If you stay in a miserable place like Banten for a long time, you will die sooner or later, either from various inexplicable diseases or even at the hands of natives or pirates.
We can't stay in this place any longer and we must return to our country as soon as possible!
