    Governor Ragamadia was caught in an extremely humiliating way, and Ralpha, who betrayed him, also received the reward he deserved, ten pounds of gold and freedom!

    However, after Wang Hua captured Governor Ragamadia, he did not deal with him. Instead, he imprisoned the governor, while Wang Hua himself went to deal with the cleaning work of Manila City!

    It is no longer possible to ignore this matter. At least 20,000 people died in Manila overnight. Coupled with the hot weather in Southeast Asia, if these corpses are not processed, they will soon rot and eventually become a terrible plague!

    But of course Wang Hua would not use the Marines for these things. He just asked the Imperial Army to capture more than a thousand local natives and pull carts along the burned streets to pick up corpses from the ruins!

    At the same time, Wang Hua had someone dig a huge pit outside Manila, and all the corpses were thrown into the pit and burned!

    The fire in the deep pit has not been extinguished since it was ignited. The billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky. Countless corpses were thrown in to serve as fuel. In the end, the natives who were carrying the corpses were also hacked to death by the Imperial Alliance Army and then thrown into the fire.  heap!

    It¡¯s just that because there were too many corpses piled up, even if there was no fresh fuel put into it, the fire still burned for five days and five nights. When the fire finally went out, the original deep pit formed a huge mountain of ashes!

    In order to prevent the ashes from scattering around, the Imperial Association Army buried the mountain of ashes with soil, but whether intentionally or not, the Imperial Association Army built the mountain of ashes into a square shape, just like a Beijing temple!

    Wang Hua¡¯s nose almost turned crooked because of this, because building the Jingguan Temple was the first thing Cao Ling did. If he did it again, it would be like a dog¡¯s tail, and he would definitely be laughed at by that guy when he saw Cao Ling in the future!

    But Wang Hua didn¡¯t let the Imperial Association Army demolish the square gray mountain out of boredom. Instead, he sent the Imperial Association Army out to wipe out the natives!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????? For those Imperial Alliance Army members, this seemingly thankless job is definitely a good job. Not only can they do whatever they want, but they can also get a lot of benefits!

    But the real benefit of Manila is not the lazy and poor natives, but the European merchant ships coming and going!

    The route from Europe to America and then to Manila and finally to Ming Dynasty contains countless wealth, and Manila is one of the key nodes on this route. Passing merchant ships have to be repaired in Manila after a long voyage.

    After the repairs are completed, these merchant ships will choose to continue sailing to the Ming Dynasty, or directly unload and load goods in Manila, and then return to the Americas and Europe. This shows the importance of Manila!

    The news that Manila was captured by the Ming army did not spread, so after Christmas, there were still many European merchant ships entering the Manila port. However, the crew members of these merchant ships saw from a distance that the flagpole of Manila no longer had Spain on it.  The national flag is the "Ming" flag of the Ming Dynasty!

    But after crossing the vast Pacific, no matter how doubtful and uneasy the crew members of those European merchant ships were, they could only bite the bullet and enter the Port of Manila!

    Fortunately, although Wang Hua was ruthless, he also knew that Zhu Youxiao wanted to occupy Manila not just for territory, but to make money, so he directly asked Li Dan to come forward to negotiate with the captains of those European merchant ships about incoming supplies and taxes.  matter!

    An old maritime businessman like Li Dan naturally knows the market, so the talks with those captains went smoothly. Soon the Port of Manila formulated a new charging standard, and Li Dan also negotiated with those captains about navigation protection fees!

    Wang Hua had no involvement in this at all. Every day he either led the Imperial Army to wipe out the natives, or cruised around with his own fleet. Even when Li Dan invited him to attend the banquets of Chinese leaders in Manila several times, he did not hesitate.  Rejection!

    The reason why Wang Hua is like this is not that he is arrogant, but that he is very clear about his status and responsibilities. As the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Fleet of the Guards, it is definitely not a wise thing to be too deeply involved in Manila's affairs!

    Beijing!

    The city has been covered with white snow, but in the thermal pavilion of Qianqing Palace, it is a lively scene!

    Zhu Youxiao took the memorial jointly signed by Wang Hua, Li Dan, and Yan Siqi, and said with a smile: "Now that we have occupied Manila, we have inserted a knife in Nanyang. The next step is to send a capable governor over to fight for  Control the entire Nanyang within five years, and then we will develop towards the Americas!"

    Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Sun Chengzong were sitting on brocade stools drinking tea, with unconcealable smiles on their faces. Although literati value peace, they are still happy to see the results if they can expand their territory!

    ?????????????????????????????Zhe put down his tea cup and asked, "I wonder if your Majesty has a favorite candidate for the Governor of Manila?"

    Zhu Youxiao said without hesitation: "I have three candidates. One is Lu Xiangsheng, the other is Sun Chuanting, and the third is Hong Chengchou. I wonder what the three old ladies think?"

    When Sun Chengzong saw Zhu Youxiao proposed three people, two of them were from the military aircraft department, his faces naturally smiled like flowers. On the contrary, Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui's faces were a little ugly!

    The emperor still doesn¡¯t trust civil servants!

    Although he thought so in his heart, Fang Congzhe still said: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the duties of the governor-general are?"

    By asking this, Lao Fang actually reminds Zhu Youxiao that the Ming Dynasty has now separated civil and military affairs. The position of governor is either a civilian official or a military general. In any case, he can only take care of one thing. In short, civilian officials are indispensable when opening up overseas!

    Zhu Youxiao, of course, knew the little Jiujiu in Fang Congzhe's heart, and said with a smile: "As the highest official assigned by the imperial court to overseas colonies, the governor has to manage both government affairs and military affairs!"

    Liu Yishui frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this move seems inappropriate. Overseas countries are far away from the mainland, and it is difficult for officials and people to control them. If the power of the governor is too great, I am afraid it will cause trouble!"

    Sun Chengzong saw that both Fang and Liu had expressed their opinions, so he could only follow: "Your Majesty, I also think what the two elders said is reasonable. The position of governor is really not suitable for having too much power!"

    Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at the world map behind him, pondered for a moment and said: "Do you know why among those countries in Europe, the big ones are no bigger than one province of Ming Dynasty, and the small ones are only as big as one prefecture and one county of Ming Dynasty.  But why do they dare to hand over a colony larger than their own country to the governor?"

    Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Sun Chuanting were puzzled by this question. Under the influence of Zhu Youxiao, they also began to study European books and history, but they could not understand why the European kings gave so much strength to colonial governors.  !

    In fact, we don¡¯t blame them for this. After all, the history of China is an encyclopedia of rebellion. From the rebellion of the nobles before the Qin Dynasty, to the Qin Dynasty when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Princes, generals, and prime ministers would rather be kind!"

    From the clan chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty to the yellow robe of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, to the rebellion legend of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Lao Zhu of the Ming Dynasty, who was born as a beggar and finally rose to the top of Dabao!

    It can be said that the Chinese nation has spent thousands of years and countless lives elaborating on the true law that rebellion is justified!

    Therefore, Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and even Sun Chengzong found it difficult to understand that the overseas governors in Europe did not rebel. Therefore, out of cultural instinct, they still believed that it was not a good thing for overseas governors to have too much power!

    Zhu Youxiao also knew that they couldn't answer this question, so he smiled and said: "The three beloved ladies can't answer it, but I know why!"

    Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Sun Chengzong had no choice but to bow and salute: "Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

    Zhu Youxiao stretched out a finger and said: "There is only one reason, and that is no matter how powerful the governors of the colonies are, as long as their mother country is strong enough, they can only obey!" (Remember the website address: www.  hlnovel.com
