Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a night of thinking, Zhao Hao held a senior staff meeting in the tent of the headquarters the next day.  In addition to Jin Ke and other high-level officials of the Coast Guard and senior staff officers from the General Staff Office, the meeting was also attended by Tang Baolu and the review committee members of the Governor's Office.

    Everyone held a three-day discussion on the content of the "Sander Report" and how to deal with Spain's counterattack, and most importantly, how to build Luzon next, and finally decided on a package plan.

    Zhao Hao named it the ¡®Yongxia Project¡¯.

    Yongxia is also the new name given to Manila after everyone discussed it.

    This place is as hot as summer all year round, so it is called Yongxia, which also means "forever the land of China"!

    The new Yongxia City will be the headquarters of the Coast Guard Headquarters, the Luzon Governor¡¯s Palace and the Luzon People¡¯s Armed Forces Department.

    The Ministry of People¡¯s Armed Forces is similar to Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.  Under the guidance of the Coast Guard Headquarters, he is responsible for the regular training, assembly, and equipment storage of the Luzon soldiers.  During wartime, the Coast Guard Headquarters sends officers to provide unified command of operations.

    Because the original structure of Spain¡¯s old royal city was too small, and it took several months of elimination before it could meet the conditions for settlement.  Therefore, Zhao Hao decided to build a new Yongxia City on the other side of the Royal City, on the northeast side of the stream, as the future residence of the three major agencies and the central city of Luzon Island.

    At the ¡®Yongxia City Naming and New City Construction Groundbreaking Ceremony¡¯ held the next day, Zhao Hao delivered an important speech on unified understanding to 30,000 soldiers and civilians.

    He told all the soldiers and civilians that after our research and judgment, the Spaniards, who are accustomed to being arrogant and arrogant, will definitely not give up after suffering this big loss.

    This is nothing less than a blow to the head of the Luzon soldiers and civilians who are still immersed in the joy of victory.  The smiles on many people's faces froze

    "They will definitely take revenge, and the scale will definitely be beyond imagination!" Mr. Zhao's firm voice resounded through the venue through the loudspeaker:

    "But the Spanish fleet doesn't know that the year of the monkey is coming. I think at least two years will be enough! So we can't delay the construction of Luzon just because we are worried about the Spanish's revenge. Otherwise, if they don't come in ten years,  Can we do nothing and wait ten years in vain? Then you will be happy, the group must go bankrupt"

    Mr. Zhao¡¯s relaxed attitude greatly boosted the confidence of the soldiers and civilians.  They burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere disappeared immediately.

    "This kind of war may last for a long time, so we must adhere to the general policy of 'putting ourselves first and construction as the center' unswervingly. As for this war, we will fight it for as long as it takes. We don't predict  Set a time limit. Let the Vice-King of New Spain or Philip II make the decision. We will fight when they come, and we will build when they don¡¯t come. We can even build while fighting!"

    The wave of applause interrupted Zhao Hao¡¯s speech several times.  This kind of fearless spirit learned from the old man who said, "Let the rain and wind blow, and I will stroll in the garden" is the most infective, uniting, and changing people.

    "The reason is very simple. The better we build Luzon, the stronger our combat effectiveness will be, and the closer we will be to completely defeating the Spaniards!" Zhao Hao finally waved his hands passionately and said: "We not only want to drive away  They. And sooner or later, we will also attack the Americas and turn the Pacific Ocean into China's inland sea!"

    The effect of this speech was excellent. The soldiers and civilians of Luzon were infused with endless strength and were fully psychologically prepared to build Luzon and defend their homeland for a long time.

    At the meeting, Zhao Hao also announced his decision to establish the Luzon War Zone from now on and personally serve as the commander of the war zone.

    The war zone is different from the garrison zone. It is a wartime system under the unified leadership of the theater command. The Governor-General and the Ministry of Human Resources must unconditionally execute all orders from the command until the war with the Spanish is completely victorious.

    After the meeting, Zhao Hao had the captive Bishop Franco of the Catholic Diocese of the Philippines brought to him.

    In view of the red-haired ghost's strong body odor, Zhao Hao still met him on the beach and lit incense.

    Father Franco is in good mental condition, but the original color of the priest's robe can no longer be seen, and there is still a strong smell of urine.

    Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly praise himself for being so foresight.

    The priest bowed to him and saluted. Zhao Hao nodded slightly in return, then invited him to sit down and asked someone to pour him a glass of sherry.

    Father Franco felt like he was in another world. He thought that after becoming a prisoner of the devil, he would never drink the wine of his hometown again.

    But this son of the devil is obviously a noble man.  This made Franco feel a little calmer, and he quickly took the opportunity to defend himself: "We are servants of the Lord, not soldiers. We came to Luzon to spread the gospel of the Lord. Our purpose is to only do good and not do evil"

    &The pitiful Father Franco sighed helplessly: "Well, in order to make the Spaniards accept those indigenous believers, you can tell the officials in Cebu that before they settle these believers, I can temporarily  Do not attack Cebu to avoid a great famine.¡±

    "Your Excellency is so kind." Father Franco said with some relief: "I will try my best to mediate and see if the two countries can stop fighting."

    As he spoke, he also sighed and said: "Actually, I don't agree with Spain going to war with your country. It would be great if peace could be restored."

    "Peace is not impossible, but it must meet our three conditions." Zhao Hao raised three fingers and said:

    "First, apologize for the atrocities that massacred my compatriots and compensate the victims. Second, promise to never invade Luzon and other Ming vassal states again, and recognize Ming Dynasty's sovereignty over all vassal states. Third, increase the trade of galleons.  The amount, and the annual trade quota after that, must be determined through consultation with us. If these three points are achieved, I can consider letting them continue to stay in Cebu. Otherwise, I will drive them out of Asia forever!"
