Chapter 92: Nanyang Storm Part 7: Ha Xian Town (Part 2)

 This time Qitad brought a new Iron Armor Fleet, a Guard Brigade, and twenty Tenges.

Asalai and Ahai also came here, and the Minister of Works Suleiman was also here.

Although he has been to Xinjiang, China, this year, for the first time he is so close to China's hinterland, so he is naturally a little excited.

On this day, he summoned everyone in the newly completed Governor's Mansion.

"Everyone, I have sent an invitation to the kings of Siam, Cambodia, Guangnan and North Vietnam to arrive here within a month. Those who can arrive here on time are our allies, and those who cannot be regarded as enemies, and I will destroy them."

Originally, everyone thought that the emperor would continue to take the initiative to be gentle, but they didn't expect that Qitade was even more ruthless.

"I know what you are thinking"

Qitad glanced at them.

"The assassination of Timur is not that simple. I agree with Zhuang Jiyun's judgment. It must have been done by the Qing Dynasty. According to various information from the Intelligence Bureau, it can be basically concluded that they set up a secret base in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and this base is in the southernmost Yazhou"

Yazhou, Sanya in later generations.

"For Spain and the Netherlands, we naturally have to take revenge, but the first thing we have to do is to avenge Timur's revenge!"

"I order"

"Zhuang Jiyun immediately led the Iron Armored Fleet and a wooden squadron in the north and south islands of Shanghai to wipe out all the Manchu Qing navy, and then blocked them with two wooden squadrons"

"You have also seen it. I brought Suleiman, the Minister of Works. From now on, he will be the chief executive of the Governor-General of the Hexian Kingdom, in order to build the coal-steel composite of the Hexian Kingdom."

"Although we can transport iron ore from Goa, it's still a bit far away. There are high-quality iron ore near Yazhou in the south of Hainan Island and not far from the estuary."

"The reason why I ordered the blockade of Hainan Island was, on the one hand, it was naturally to seek revenge from the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, it was to the iron ore there"

"By the way, I have decided to change Can Tho City to Timur City, and the coal-steel composite will be placed here in the future"

"In addition, horse raising is suitable for horse raising near Jiading City, where can a state-owned ranch for raising horse wari horses"

"As for the Philippines, I don't want to let them go, Zhuang Jiyun..."

"There is a good minister"

"Tell me, why can't I take Manila?"

"Your Majesty, Manila City is tall and sturdy, with various cannons on the top of the city. Our artillery is not superior. If we pass through the Pashi River, we will face the attack of dense cannons at the top of the Santiago Fort"

"If you pass through the tidal flat on the southwest side of Fort San Diego, where there are swamps, it will be difficult to transport heavy artillery"

"If we land from other places, it will be difficult to transport heavy artillery to the city of Manila. In this case, the war will definitely last for a long time, so we must build a rear base there"

"I originally hoped to achieve this after taking over Krabi, but I didn't expect it to fail"

"Is there any more?"

"Your Majesty, although the Chinese farmers in Manila are distributed near Manila Bay, they are still tens of thousands of square kilometers. Their lives here are obviously better than those in the Qing Dynasty. They will not agree to follow us soon. Taking Manila may be easier than moving these farmers"

"Then there is nothing we can do?"

"That's not. If we have a base in Krabi, we can repair the road from Krabi to Manila so that it can carry the crushing of heavy artillery, or repair the mudflats west of Fort Santiago, and then slowly launch the attack with our extra range."

"Okay, I'll ask you, what is our goal to capture Manila?"

"Your Majesty, of course, will avenge a single arrow"

"Wrong! Don't be so obsessed with hatred. For us, everything should be based on national interests. What is the newest gravity for us in Manila? It is not the farmers there, nor the silver ingots of treasure ships, but the cinnamon frost!"

"This is a tree that can treat malaria. In this world, only the Spanish have owned it. This tree is only produced in South America. But since the Spanish also have colonies in the Far East, and the climate and geography of the Philippines are close to the equator in South America, they have obviously transplanted here in large quantities."

"They obviously will not plant such things in the wilderness of the Philippines, but only in Manila City. Therefore, only by taking down Manila City can you obtain this thing"

"As for immigration, silver ingots are just a way to do it. If you take this city, silver ingots will naturally belong to me, and immigrate..."

He looked at Zhou Jixun. Seeing his sure appearance, Zhou Jixun was also a little confused at first. Qitad scolded: "You are still the intelligence manager of the Far East. According to your statement, all the thirty Marines in our country were buried in the Krabi Military Fort."

"But there are still thirty Chinese merchants in Krabi who follow them up the mountain..."

Zhou Jixun suddenly realized when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice understands that for the Spaniards, they killed thirty Chinese soldiers at once, but also killed thirty Chinese merchants at the same time. For them, they will definitely not exaggerate them. They will only say that Chinese merchants collude with our country and intend to be inappropriate to Krabi"

"This will inevitably cause trouble for the Chinese in the Eighth Company of Manila. Although it has been a while since the last massacre, the memories that have finally been hidden have obviously rekindled. The Chinese in the Eighth Company of Krabi will definitely take action!"

"Because for them, it is understandable that one or two Chinese businessmen 'colluded' our country to plot against the Philippines, but there is a problem with thirty Chinese businessmen who have been carefully selected by the Spanish. This is completely in line with the usual Spanish style!"

Qitad nodded, "I heard that in the action, you have two plans in addition to A and B in Krabi, and two plans in Manila?"

"Yes," Zhou Jixun looked around, and Qitade cursed again: "Is there any enemy's detailed work here?"

Zhou Jixun quickly said: "Your Majesty, a hundred years ago, there was a large number of Chinese pirates, led by Lin Feng. They invaded Manila and destroyed the unsolid Fort Santiago at that time. Later, they lost to the enemy. The descendants of Lin Feng and others were afraid of the Spanish's clearance and ran to the nearby mountains."

"In the end, gathered in a valley called Biyao to the east of Lingayan Bay. After decades, the Spaniards obviously forgot about them, or they had long been integrated with the local natives, and the dress of the wearer was no different from that of the locals."

"The place happens to produce gold and silver mines, which is a great thing for the Spaniards, because the reason why they regard the Peruvian Governor's jurisdiction in South America as a top priority is that there are extremely large silver mines there, which leads to treasure fleets and various ocean-going trades."

"The treasure fleet also accounts for more than half of the fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Spain. Although the Philippines has always been known as the governor's jurisdiction, it is not actually. It is just a governor's jurisdiction under the jurisdiction of the governor's jurisdiction of Peru"

"But if there is a Bayao silver mine, they can be as independent as the governor of Peru. However, the Chinese are not as easy to manage as the natives in South America. At this time, Lin Feng's descendants had thousands of households in the Biyao area, hundreds of thousands of young and strong, and were surrounded by mountains, which was not an easy place to conquer."

"So the Spaniards negotiated with them and finally reached an agreement, that is, the Spaniards acknowledged their existence in the Baguio area, and the gold and silver mines were still allowed to be mined, but they had to transport 30% of the gold and silver ingots to Manila every year as taxes"

"For the safety of the tribe, they agreed"

"The Ministry of Justice has inquired about it. The mining there is very primitive. The annual production is only one-tenth of that in Peru. The silver ingots sent to Manila are only about 10,000 taels of it. The current Spanish Governor did not take it seriously. It is said that their prospectors came to a conclusion after inspection, saying that the mine veins there are deeper and difficult to mine, which is far less than Peru."

"So, they did not report this matter to the king, and they still existed in the name of the Governor's Office. All the 10,000 taels of silver ingots sent from the Biyao area entered the pockets of the Governor and other major personnel"

"For the Chinese in Biyao, although they use 10,000 taels of silver ingots every year to ensure safety, they are still nervous. It would be fine if there were no silver mines. Now the news of Biyao having silver mines spread throughout the Philippines. It is impossible to be nervous if you have a huge treasure and lack defense."

"In addition to the several massacres of the Spanish, their nervousness has been tense, and only one Mars is missing. After we contacted them, they agreed without hesitation. Obviously, their remaining silver ingots were used in foreign trade, and they must know our existence."

"The Spaniards stipulate that before July 15, each year, they must transport silver ingots to Manila. Ten thousand taels are also one thousand kilograms, and at least two big trucks are needed, so we..."

Qitad waved his hand and let him stop.

"We got the news earlier than you, and it was reported by Chinese businessmen who had just returned to the Malay Peninsula from Manila"

"Because of the tragic deaths of Chinese merchants such as Li Hucheng, the Chinese around Manila Bay no longer believe the Spaniards. In order to suppress them, the Spaniards expanded the number of Japanese samurai and local soldiers and spread them in the outer city of the Eighth Company"

"Just one Mars is just enough to ignite it"

"In the vast countryside, white farmers have also stepped up their supervision of Chinese farmers. Under heavy pressure, a farmer accidentally killed the farmer. The last time it was out of control, it was about to spread to Manila"

Zhuang Jiyun was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, I understand"

....

Within a month, the kings of all countries arrived as agreed by Qitad, especially the Lord Ruan from Guangnan Kingdom arrived ten days in advance.

At this moment, the king of Guangnan Kingdom, Ruan Phoeyang, took the initiative to leave the Qing Dynasty and swore to accept the enthronement of the Truqin Empire from then on. Several other people quickly followed suit and expressed their willingness to accept the enthronement of the Truqin Empire.

At this time, the Lizhu of the Northern Dynasties had already taken all Guangping Province, the northernmost part of Guangnan. Originally, the two countries were bounded by the Jiang Zhengjiang in Guangping Province. Once the battle was lost, the capital of Guangnan, Hue, was completely exposed to the Northern Dynasties.

If there were only the Northern Dynasties army, perhaps Guangnan could hold on for a while, but now the Xishan Uprising Army is getting bigger and bigger and have already reached the city of Hue.

If Truqin was not available, Guangnan Kingdom would be destroyed!

Finally, under the mediation of Qitade, the two countries reached the following agreement:

Guangnan Kingdom moved the capital to Guiren Prefecture. The military and civilians of Shunhua City, and their property arrived at Guiren Prefecture under the escort of Truqin Fleet. Shunhua Prefecture and its royal city belonged to the Northern Dynasties.

The entire Guangping Province, Hue Province, including Hejing Province, which originally belonged to the Northern Dynasties, was assigned to the Wu clan. The Wu clan expressed its permanent neutrality, which would separate the Northern Dynasties and the Southern Dynasties. The Lizhu of the Northern Dynasties could also exclude the Wu clan, the military nobleman who posed the greatest threat to him, and completely control the political situation of the Northern Dynasties.

And the Southern Dynasty Lord Ruan could also be at peace in Guiren Mansion.

As for the siege of the rebels, the new owner Wu and Ruan Master were dealt with together. Since the rebels had colluded with Ruan Youju in Jiading area and posed a threat to Truqin, Truqin would also use naval guns to strike them according to the situation.
