"very good!"

When Zhu Youjian asked about the trip to Luzon, Xie Xuelong unconsciously smiled.

"Are you talking about the cultural landscape or the First Fleet?"

"Although the scenery has a special flavor, I didn't bother to look at it. I just think that the people there are dark and thin, and they don't look very smart."

"Xie Qing can't say that. In the future, they will also be my citizens of Daming!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"I made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty please punish me."

"It's okay. Let's talk about the First Fleet. Although I have seen warships, I have never felt their power."

"These warships have brought me great surprises. Although there were actual combat drills before, it was only when I was on the battlefield that I realized the extraordinary nature of these steel warships. Whether it is the strength of the hull or the power of the firearms on board, it is amazing. The officials and others were eye-opening, and also made the enemy frightened. Somehow, the red-haired ghost changed a governor during the war, a guy named Cerezo. Manila was attacked by Zheng Zhilong's general soldiers within a few days of taking office. He tried to escape with 28 warships, but was blocked by the First Fleet, and they surrendered before firing a single shot."

"What else?" Zhu Youjian was a little surprised.

In Shen Lian's report, it was only said that Xie Xuelong had captured the governor of Lu Song and handed it over to Zheng Zhibao, but he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.

"You didn't catch Olaza? Then where did Olaza go?"

"I heard from one of their men named Franco that as soon as Cerezo arrived in Manila, Olaza immediately gave up the Governor's Mansion and left Manila with his people. He should have returned to Mexico."

"It ran very fast, if it wasn't for another income." Zhu Youjian said with some regret.

"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with these red-haired ghosts?" Xie Xuelong was also curious.

"I have already given Zheng Zhilong an order to send someone to Spain to deliver the news. If he wants these red-haired ghosts to live, he will redeem them with money."

"Will they care about the life and death of those soldiers?"

"They don't care about the life and death of soldiers, but they don't necessarily care about officers. Because their nobles have to serve in the military, places like Luzon are their first choice. Anyway, they will be raised for a while, and they will be released if they are given money. Give them money and let them be slaves in Luzon, and let them die."

"In this case, will it be against the red-haired barbarians?"

"Qing Xie, you are in charge of the First Fleet, are you afraid of making enemies with these red-haired ghosts? From now on, only other countries will be afraid of Da Ming and live on the breath of Da Ming! If you don't have this bit of confidence, my First Fleet will really die. Staggered people!"

"My minister is guilty!"

"Go back and rest up for a while, there will be more opportunities for the First Fleet to play in the future."

"Yes, I retire!"

Xie Xuelong bowed and retreated.After thinking about it, Zhu Youjian gave an order to Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Luzon, to sow the seeds as soon as possible. The new season's grain seeds are estimated to be delivered within two days, and the last season's harvest should not be delayed because of the war. .

Zheng Zhilong is really busy these two days, because tomorrow is the big day for Kang Li to ascend to the top.

Inside the Governor's Mansion, Conley was beaming at the gorgeous costumes on his body.

Zheng Zhilong sat quietly and looked at Kangli who felt awkward no matter how he looked.

To be honest, Conley gave him the feeling that a coolie carrying bags on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal suddenly became the governor of a province. Not only did he not reach that level in temperament, but he didn't even look like a nobleman.

How do you say that?

Wearing a dragon robe is not like a prince.

"Zheng Bing, what do you think of my clothes?"

"Anyway, it's just going through the motions and telling the people everywhere that you, the King of Luzon, are about to ascend the throne, that's all." Zheng Zhilong replied calmly.

"okay."

Conley doesn't care about temperament, he only knows that good clothes are comfortable to wear.

"By the way, Zheng Zongbing, the sowing of the new season's rice has been delayed for more than ten days. If you don't plant it quickly, the harvest may be affected. You said before that the imperial court will send the seeds. When will it arrive?"

"Soon." He didn't know the exact time.

"But no matter what, wait until the seeds sent by the imperial court arrive before ordering sowing. Even if the yield is reduced due to delay, the yield will be higher than that of your seeds."

"That is!"

Conley nodded in agreement. "I planted the high yield that Olaza bought back then. One mu of land equaled three mu. It is indeed a product of Daming, and the yield is high."

The two chatted for a while about the details of tomorrow's enthronement, and Zheng Zhilong left the Governor's Mansion.

On the second day, there were lights and festoons everywhere in Manila, under the strong publicity of these days.

Kang Li seemed to be a glorious figure who endured humiliation, kept a low profile, and finally won the support of Daming, drove away the red-haired ghosts, regained the control of Luzon, and saved the natives from the fire and water.

There is no objection to Conley being king.

Because in most people's perception, Conley is still an aborigine on the island, and no matter how he rules them, he is better than the red-haired ghost, right?As for whether he has the blood of the former Luzon royal family flowing in his body, no one cares anymore.

Even if someone cares, who dares to question it under the steel knives and muskets of soldiers inside and outside the city?

The enthronement ceremony was held very smoothly, except for being more lively, it was far from grand.

But in this way, Conley's vanity was also greatly satisfied.

Good guy, the little patriarch of a village has suddenly become the king of Luzon.I dare not even dream about it.

"Your Majesty, I received news yesterday that the seeds sent by the imperial court will arrive in two days!"

"Zheng Zongbing don't cancel me."

"You have to get used to it, even if you don't do anything. You, Conley, are also the king of Luzon canonized by His Majesty, and you don't have to whisper to anyone in the future. And, you have to call yourself the king, understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, I... this king understands."

The imperial court did not keep Zheng Zhilong waiting too long, and the fleet transporting grain seeds arrived in Manila in the evening of that day.

Then Conley promulgated his first will since he took the throne.

Send people to send seeds to various places, and actively make up for the fields that have not been sown due to war or poverty.

Due to the previous sharp reduction in production, the common people no longer believed in the seeds sent by Daming. However, under the repeated assurances of Kang Li’s people and the strong suppression of the army, the sowing of the new season was gradually spread from around Manila. .

On the other side, in the distant capital.

Fan Jingwen found Zhu Youjian with a few pages of lists.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet has already discussed the list of officials sent to Luzon. Please take a look at it and make a decision."

Zhu Youjian nodded, ordered Wang Chengen to take the list from Fan Jingwen's hand, read it from beginning to end, and frowned slightly.

Fan Jingwen had been quietly observing Zhu Youjian's movements, seeing him frown, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Fan Qing, this list, isn't it?"
