Chapter 929 The Next Target
"Woo woo woo..."
The crying in the crowd was like mosquitoes at first, and gradually became like the sound of a waterfall. Read М
Since leaving Dasong, they have been wanderers, like rootless duckweed.
Even if they are bullied outside, they can only swallow their anger.
Now, they have found the feeling of home.
These tears are warm, and their hearts are warm too.
"Who is the King of Yan? Did he really eliminate the powerful and wealthy families?"
Seeing that the Dasong army not only did not make things difficult for them, but was very kind to them, someone asked boldly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan is the ninth son of the Emperor of Dasong. The Emperor has issued an edict to appoint him as the Crown Prince. In the future, he will be the Emperor of Dasong and your Emperor."
"I swear on the honor of the army that he did eliminate the powerful and wealthy families. Now, everyone in Dasong is free. They can go to school, be officials, do business, and work hard to get six acres of good land." Zhou Yi replied.
The overseas Song people were all stunned when they heard this.
The scene Zhou Yi described to them only existed in dreams.
However, Zhou Yi was so sure, why should he deceive these lowly people.
"I want to go back."
"Please send us home."
"..."
Some Song people suddenly burst into tears.
These Song people were all born in Dasong in recent years, and they still have strong feelings for Dasong.
However, these Song people only account for a small part, and more overseas Song people are excited but confused.
Because their ancestors lived here a long time ago.
Although they knew that their ancestors came from Dasong, they were used to the life here.
There were no relatives in Dasong, and there was no strong desire to go back.
Zhou Yi keenly captured this point.
He said: "If you want to go back to Dasong, we will send you back, but you have other choices, stay here and serve the interests of Dasong."
After a pause, he said: "Think about it, you can do business freely in Luzon in the future, you can also run plantations, or serve as officials in the Kingdom of Luzon..."
Before he finished speaking, a young man suddenly rushed out, raised his hands high, "I am willing, I am willing to serve the interests of Dasong."
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at the thin young man who rushed out, and smiled, "It's a smart boy, okay, I'll leave a place for you."
"And me." After the thin young man, the sturdy young man also ran out, "We are good friends, we share happiness and difficulties."
Someone stepped forward, and the remaining Waihaisong people naturally became bolder.
After the young man, one after another stood up.
Zhou Yi ordered Pan Chang to register and write down the names of these people, while calling the two young men who stood up first to one side.
"What are your names?" Zhou Yi asked the two.
"My name is Miao An."
"My name is Niu Qiang."
The thin young man and the sturdy young man replied.
Zhou Yi nodded, "From now on, Bambu will be managed by you two temporarily, but let me be frank. If you don't do a good job, you have to change people."
Miao An and Niu Qiang were stunned. What does it mean to hand over Bambu to them?
This sentence made them unable to react at all for a while.
Gradually understanding this sentence, the two looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.
Before, Bambu was governed by the Portuguese.
Now that the Dasong army has driven away the Portuguese, this place naturally belongs to Dasong.
And they are the people in charge of managing this place in Dasong.
From now on, the Song people in Bambu will really turn over.
Zhou Yi smiled and looked at the two excited people, and continued, "No matter how happy you are when you go back, I need you to lead other Song people to immediately accept the assets of the Portuguese in Bambu, including houses, shops, merchant ships, plantations, etc."
"Yes, General, leave it to us, we know everything about the Portuguese." Miao An said loudly.
Zhou Yi nodded, "Also find a guide for me who can speak both the Song language and the native language, and it is best to be familiar with the entire Luzon."
"General, what a coincidence, Niu Qiang is the person you are looking for." Miao An pointed to Niu Qiang, "His family came here from his grandfather's generation. Before coming to the port, he followed the Portuguese horse team to transport goods and traveled all over Luzon."
Niu Qiang smiled and did not deny it.
"That's great. Next, I will lead the troops to Manila and leave two thousand people here. You will lead the way and take over the small and medium-sized cities north of Manila." Zhou Yi said.
"General, don't worry, just leave it to me. I won't let them get lost." Niu Qiang patted his chest.
Zhou Yi was relieved, despite the intelligence provided by the four academies.
But they still lacked understanding of the entire island of Luzon.
A good guide was very important to them.
After discussing this matter, Zhou Yi instructed Miao An again.
Let him store coal, food and other things in the warehouse at the port.
Turn this place into a temporary supply point.
The next day, he led the fleet to continue southward.
This time, his troops were directed to the core of the Portuguese in Luzon, Manila City.
However, he did not intend to take Manila directly, but to adopt a siege strategy.
Because Manila was occupied, the Western Turkish coalition might abandon Luzon.
But if they were half dead, they would come to rescue.
And if they did not come, the Portuguese would certainly be unhappy.
In this way, there would be cracks within them.
