I'm really not the carpenter emperor

A chief executive pulled out his saber, kicked over a Dutch businessman standing in front of him begging for mercy, turned around and shouted:
"The general has an order to kill all the Dutch and avenge the victims!"
After yelling, Mr. Qian's face turned ruthless, he stepped on the Dutch businessman with one foot, then bent down, and stabbed the steel knife into his chest.
"Take their heads and go back to the country to build a Beijing temple!"
Behind Mr. Qian, the Ming army rushed into the city of Manila shouting to kill. Whenever they encountered Dutchmen who blocked them, regardless of their status, regardless of their gender, they would kill them with a knife.
The order was clear, not vague at all, to kill every Dutchman in sight in Manila.
This time, these foreign colonists must be remembered long!
Hearing the gunfire outside and the shouts of killing everywhere, Max in the Office of the Governor of the Harbor frowned and said displeasedly:
"what happened?"
With a bang, a Dutch navy soldier with his face covered in blood rushed in and fell to the ground in a miserable state.
"Your Excellency, the Ming Fleet has entered the city!"
"They refuse to accept our surrender, they want to kill us all!"
Chapter 698 Reconstruction, Three Announcements and Six Consolations
No one thought that the Dutch's oppression of these Chinese in their colony could actually attract the local fleet of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away!
There are quite a few people here, a whole Laizhou battalion!
Nearly a hundred warships, thousands of sailors, and everything are announced by Zhu Youxiao to these colonists who intend to invade the Far East.
The current Apocalypse Dynasty can withstand such an expedition!
Before and after the Manila incident, it was just a warning. We dare to fight back when the Dutch do this. The British and French will do the same!
"boom!"
Holding a bloody butcher's knife, Zhang Pan kicked open the door of the Harbor Governor's Office, and saw Manila Governor Max curled up under the table.
"Get him for me!"
Without further ado, two Ming soldiers stepped forward immediately, one left and one right, and held up the Dutch governor who was not so powerful not long ago.
"You are Max?" Zhang Pan said, and said blankly to the captured Dutch navy soldiers beside him:
"Tell him."
The Dutch navy soldier was extremely frightened, and in order to save his life, he translated the words exactly.
After Max heard this, hesitation appeared on his face, and then he nodded.
Hearing this, Zhang Pan waved his hand, stepped forward, picked up Max like a chicken, and then stabbed him in.
The flesh on his face was trembling, and the words he spit out made Max even more terrified in the pain.
"Hongyi dog, go to hell!"
As a general who has been in command of the navy in the Shandong Peninsula all year round, Zhang Pan naturally knows that the Western saying of the underworld is hell.
This is how I speak in order to make the interpreter understand better.
"Why didn't the general ask more, this is a big fish, maybe some useful information can be obtained from interrogation."
Aside, Qianzong Liu Xingzuo asked.
Zhang Pan held Max, who had already swallowed his breath, still under his feet, spat hard, and said viciously: "What do you have to say to this Hongyi dog?"
"Leaving him alive for a moment, I feel sick!"
Zhang Pan was from Liaodong, and his parents were killed by Jiannu since he was a child. When he was a general under Yuan Keli's tent in Shandong, he also saw Hongyi people bullying the people.
So, he doesn't like either of them.
Zhang Pan glanced around at the European-style minimalist Office of the Harbor Governor, without much curiosity or nostalgia, turned around and said:
"Keep all the documents well, and bring them back to the capital for His Majesty to review. Take all the objects that you understand and don't understand, and let the people in the Armament Department look at them."
"Maybe they can figure out something useful."
"Yes!" Liu Xingzuo wiped the dry blood on his face, and suddenly asked, "What about this Hongyi man?"
"Didn't we tell him that the translator can avoid death?"
Zhang Pan, who had just walked two steps, paused when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said neatly, "Give him a good time."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
The Dutchman naturally understood Chinese, and when he heard the words, his expression of hope turned into despair in an instant, and he shouted loudly:
"You don't believe what you say, you don't mean what you say!"
Liu Xingzuo waited for Zhang Pan to walk away, came forward with a smile, and said:
"When you killed the people of Ming Dynasty, did you give them a way to survive?"
"It's good enough to give you a good time, obediently stick out your neck and let grandpa cut it off, let's get over this quickly!"
Manila Palace.
Liu Xingzuo had already chased after him, while Zhang Pan led his men to walk quickly to the innermost palace. Along the way, the two of them took a closer look at the palace.
However, now they are full of disappointment.
The palace in Manila is indeed not bad. It is built on a high mountain, and you can see the whole city and the Java Sea in the distance at a glance.
But other than that, there is a petty air inside and out.
This kind of palace is not even comparable to the regulations of ordinary county palaces, let alone the Forbidden City of Ming Dynasty rebuilt by Tianqi three years ago.
"You are finally here. This king has been looking forward to the Daming Navy for a long time!" Su Lu and Wang Hao rushed out to welcome them, with joy on their faces.
Zhang Pan glanced at the other party. After all, he was a king, so he had to have at least some respect.
He let go of his disdain for the so-called king who can't even manage his own country well, cupped his fists in a slightly respectful manner, and said:
"At home, Zhang Pan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shandong Ming Dynasty, has met the two Highnesses."
"No need to be formal, no need to be formal!"
Su Lu was actually a little nervous just now. After all, this time it was all thanks to Daming, the capital of the old port king, Manila, which was freed from the serial control of Western colonists for hundreds of years.
Even he, the king, was a little hypocritical in front of Zhang Pan, let alone Zhu Youxiao, I'm afraid Su Lu didn't even have the confidence to mention the latter.
After all, as the rulers of the same country, the two are simply very different.
In fact, Zhang Pan was just being a little polite, and didn't intend to play tricks on the puppet king.
He accepted the gesture in response, and then said in an almost equal tone:
"This time, I will come here by order. One is to avenge the tens of thousands of people who died, and the other is to rebuild the Yongle dynasty."
Hearing this, Su Lu's face really looked unattractive.
He and the princess looked at each other with a puzzled look on their faces: "General Zhang... Well, the Old Port Kingdom was controlled by the Spanish 100 years ago."
"Now it is controlled by the Dutch, even with the help of the Daming Navy, it is not easy to restore the country..."
Zhang Pan understood what he meant. Su Lu was saying that the Old Port Kingdom was almost dead in name only, and there was only one Manila city.
Even this royal city was just regained with the help of Daming.
At its peak, the Old Port Kingdom occupied the entire Indonesian islands, and it was considered a relatively prosperous country in the Far East.
But after that, after several generations of mediocre kings, the territory was gradually occupied by the Spaniards.
In the [-]th century, Dutch coachmen rose in Europe, and the Spanish Empire gradually declined. Manila Island, known as the Spice Islands in Europe, also became the focus of contention between the two sides.
Until about three years after the apocalypse, the Armada was defeated by the Queen's fleet in the Indonesian islands and lost control of Java Island.
But no one expected that a power in the Far East, called the Ming Empire by the Europeans, would re-emerge and forcefully fall into the hands of the Dutch, snatching Manila again.
Taking down Manila this time, Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't intend to just hand it over to the Old Port Kingdom.
Since the King of Jiugang can't manage his own country well, it's very simple. I, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, will help you manage it.
In fact, as early as the Yongle Dynasty, the system of three propaganda and six comforts had been used to form a small system in the Far East.
The Xuanwei Division of the Old Port was the administrative establishment of the Yongle Dynasty in Manila City, and it was also the southernmost point of the Ming Dynasty's territory at that time.
During the Yongle Dynasty, Xuanfu envoys and Xuanwei envoys were set up in Jiugang to help the king of Jiugang control the military and political power respectively.
The pretext for the two to stay in the Old Port Kingdom is to help them pay tribute to Daming on a regular basis and pay fixed taxes every year, which is called sending.
The countries in the areas covered by the three declarations and six comforts are required to listen to the court's conscripts during the war as a rule. Politically, they are not as good as the status of the vassal state that Zhu Youxiao just signed.
Zhu Di set up chieftain systems such as Xuanwei envoys and Xuanfusi. Using chieftains to govern the army and the people is an effective means to control remote minority countries and regions with the help of traditional ruling power.
To put it bluntly, Daming was asked to help the local country govern, so an imperial government office was established to facilitate communication.
To put it bluntly, this is the earliest colonization.
Therefore, I don't know how much stronger Zhu Di was than the so-called holy ancestor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
Chapter 699 A Good Brother
"You don't need to worry about this, His Majesty has already thought out everything for you when you come here." Zhang Pan walked to a corner of the palace, looked at the scenery of the Java Sea, marveled in his heart, and turned his back and said:
"According to Daming and the Hongyi people, oh, yes, you call them the Netherlands, right? It's almost the same anyway. The Hongyi people give up their possession of Manila, but this place must become a free city."
"I don't know exactly what it means. Your Highness just needs to remember that this place will no longer be the capital of your Old Port Kingdom from now on."
Hearing that there was no reply for a while, Zhang Pan turned around and asked:
"What, is there a problem?"
"Actually, you don't have to be too sad. Without the Daming Navy, even this Manila is still in the hands of the Hongyi people." Zhang Pan sat down and said:
"Your Majesty allows you to choose another place to set up your capital. The office of the Xuanwei Division in the Old Port is located in Manila, and the Daming Navy will be stationed here all year round."
"To ensure the safety of you people, is this okay? After all, without us, what if the Hongyi people come back?"
Zhang Pan's words are somewhat unscrupulous, but this is precisely the truth.
Facts are often unpleasant, but frustrating.
That's what Su Lu thinks now. He and Wang Hao looked at each other, and they both saw a deep sense of powerlessness in each other's eyes.
There's no way, it's the only way!
Compared with the Spaniards and Dutchmen in front of them, Daming's kindness to them is simply a god.
The Old Port Kingdom has long existed in name only, and now, with the help of Daming, the kingdom has been restored in name, and it can choose another place to build another capital. What kind of bicycle do you want?
Seeing that the king and the princess had nothing to say, Zhang Pan smiled, got up and said, "In that case, I will not bother your highnesses."
"Mr. Liu Qian, write these words on the notice in various languages and announce it to the people in Manila."
"Tell them that Daming only targets Hongyi people and Dongying people, and handing over those local people who participated in the persecution of Ming people can be counted as meritorious service."
It is easy to conquer a place, but it is difficult to achieve long-term stability.
After a bloody attack, people from all over the world in Manila and the local Indonesian aborigines must have been terrified.
At this time, a notice is needed to declare peace.
Liu Xingzuo also understood in his heart that instead of returning the territory to these weak indigenous countries, it would be better to be held in the hands of Daming.
The city of Manila is surrounded by mountains and controlled by the sea. It has been the place of the Four Wars since ancient times, which is why Zhu Di set up a propaganda department here.
And Java Island, where it is located, also has extremely rich spice resources. As long as it is in the hands of Daming, the spice trade of European countries will be somewhat restrained.
At that time, if you set up a card here again, the tariff you will get every year must be astronomical!
European countries were shocked when they heard the news of Manila.
Manila's geographical location is extremely special. Although it is currently a free city in name, it has been chosen as the seat of government by the newly established Old Port Propaganda Department of Ming Dynasty.
If the spice trade in the East Indies wanted to be shipped to the west, it had to pass through the Port of Manila. After the occupation of Manila, the Ming Navy stayed here to repair the port and build a fort.
This so-called Free City has already become the southernmost military port of Ming Dynasty.
In fact, it is no different from being controlled by Daming.
In this year, whoever has the most firepower will act rationally. Da Ming just won the Dutch Far East Fleet, so he naturally has the right to monopolize Manila.
