Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 928

[Chapter 928]

“Your Highness is wise. For example, in Luzon, the Francines have been creating conflicts between the natives and the overseas Chinese. If these natives are left alone, there is no guarantee that they will not continue to oppress the overseas Chinese. They must be guarded by troops. “Zhou Yi nodded frequently after hearing Zhao Xu’s explanation.

After a pause, he continued, “And the establishment of the Protectorate will also prevent the forces from the Western Regions from infiltrating the Southern Territory.”

Zhao Xu showed praise in his eyes. After his criticism, Chang Wei and Zhou Yi now have a much broader vision than before. .

I can see deeper problems.

As he said, another role of the Protectorate is to protect the southern region and resist foreign forces.

The Western Lands have been colonizing the Southern Region for so long, and they must have cultivated a group of pro-Western Land forces.

He wouldn’t allow these people to continue flirting with the natives.

“That’s right, then from now on, let’s prepare for the Southern Territory Protector’s Mansion. You Marines will be in charge for the time being, and first bring Luzon under the supervision of the Protectorate’s Mansion,” Zhao Xu said.

Like Zhou Yi, he was actually not very reassured about the natives of Luzon.

Luzon in this era is basically close to the original tribal state.

There is no civilization at all, not even Cochin and Pyuman.

It is precisely because of this that the Central Plains Dynasty regarded itself as a kingdom of heaven and believed that its surroundings were nothing but barbarians.

Therefore, if we don’t install a Protectorate on their heads, we are afraid that these aborigines will be massacred by overseas residents every minute.

In contemporary times, such a tragedy has happened in the country south of Luzon, that is, the Jakarta area controlled by the Stedan people.

And this is when human civilization entered the twentieth century.

It was these blood debts in history that made him think that he and Da Song under his rule did not need to be polite and behave like a humble gentleman.

He introduced the Protectorate Mansion, one is to control the southern region in essence, and the other is to revive the legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

According to the records of the Han Dynasty: Nanyue killed our Han envoy, and slaughtered nine counties.

King Wan killed our Han envoy and hung his head on Beique.

North Korea kills our Han envoys, and they will be punished immediately.” Those who offend

our strong Han will be punished even if they are far away!

These records, in a few words, demonstrate the supreme prestige of

the great Han. During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, even Tang envoys were robbed, It’s a grand thing for one person to slaughter a country with soldiers.

Now that the Great Song is soaring, how could he let people look down on him and bully him.

“Yes, Your Highness. “Zhou Yi was excited when he heard the words.

Yan Wang handed over the Southern Region Protectorate to the Navy, which is his trust.

After talking about this, Zhao Xu ordered Zhou Yi to send the Marine Corps to take down other cities in Luzon, including the southern ones. Cebu and Cotton Island, thus controlling the entire Luzon.

The main force of Frangji and the indigenous army were wiped out in this battle. These places can be said to be empty of troops, and it does not take much time.

“There is one more important thing, you dispatch immediately A group of soldiers took over the rubber plantation in Manila, then sent a steamship to Lincheng, and sent a telegram back to Yancheng, asking the Department of Commerce to send a merchant ship to Luzon to transport rubber. “Zhao Xu said, with some excitement in his words.

After entering the era of the electric power industry, rubber can be said to be a bottleneck resource for industrial development.

Now that Luzon is taken, Dasong’s rubber problem can finally be alleviated.

If Jaga and Marais are taken again The rubber plantations in Dasong will be abundant and even rich.

When he was in Yizhou, King Yan ordered the seeds of the captured rubber trees to be planted.

Now, these seeds have germinated and grown into seedlings.

Since that incident He knew the importance of rubber to Da Song.

In the future, some parts of their warships may also use this thing.

So he said, “Your Highness, please rest assured, I will watch this matter personally in the end.” As the

two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Not long after, Pan Chang arrived at the Governor’s Mansion, followed by a group of soldiers.

A dark-looking middle-aged man wearing a feather cap was being escorted by two soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi came down from the third floor.

“Your Highness, this is Batuge, King of Manila,” Pan Chang said.

“Saglei…” Seeing Zhao Xu, Ba Duge was terrified and couldn’t stop saying something.

Zhou Yi frowned, looked at a speaker next to Batuge, and asked, “What did he say?”

This speaker was the one who translated for Ferrero.

He hurriedly said respectfully, “He said please forgive him, Your Highness. He will definitely serve Da Song just like he served Frangji.”

“Hmph, he is worthy too?” Pan Chang sneered, “Your Highness, the last general will check It is clear that the King of Manila was supported by Frangji, and his position is not right. His lineage was originally a general under the command of the Manila royal family, and it is only today that he colluded with Frangji to usurp the throne.”

After a pause, he continued He said, “And when he was king, he cooperated with Frangji and did a lot of bad things.”

“I see, then this matter is easy. Does Luzon still have the royal blood?” Zhao Xu asked.

“Yes, he is.” Pan Chang suddenly pointed to the interpreter beside him.

Both Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi were surprised.

“What’s going on here?” Zhou Yi was puzzled.

Pan Changdao: “Falangji was also worried about the king he supported, so he left a royal bloodline as a check and balance. In order to prevent this royal bloodline from being killed, he stayed in the governor’s mansion as a servant.

” Human?” Zhao Xu asked.

At first sight, this person looks similar to Song Ren, so he thought it was Song Ren.

“He is not a legitimate son of the royal family, but a concubine, and his mother is a Song. Because of this, he can understand not only the French language, but also the Luzon and Da Song languages. It is also for this reason that when Ferrero needs an interpreter, he calls Go to him.” Pan Chang said.

Zhao Xu nodded slowly, looked at the translator who kept his head down, and said with a smile, “What’s your name?”

“Battelle.” The young man said cautiously.

“From today onwards, you are the king of Manila, and your royal status has been restored.” Zhao Xu said seriously.

Battelle was completely dumbfounded, and could hardly believe his ears.

If it was someone else, he would naturally think it was nonsense.

But this is King Yan of Dasong, and the fate of Lu Song is only in his palm.

“But, my father is still there, and the three older brothers are the legitimate sons…” Battelle hesitated.

“This king said, you are now the king of Manila. How to deal with your father and your brother is your business from now on. Of course, if you don’t have confidence, I will consider them again.” Zhao Xu said lightly.

“I’m confident, it’s just why Your Highness chose me.” Barter said hastily.

Because his mother is from Songren, he and his mother’s life at home is not satisfactory, and he is often beaten and scolded by his father.

They just treated mother and child as slaves.

“Don’t think about it too much. This king doesn’t know you, nor your ability. It’s just because of the great blood on your body. As for whether you are competent, it depends on your performance.” Zhao Xu said: “Now, let us first Let’s talk about what you should do under Dasong’s Dongtu system after you become king.”
