Chapter eight hundred and thirty sixth official residence
After taking Manila, Wang Dong took the Governor's Office as his temporary official residence, and the prosecution court became the garrison of the coalition command.
As for the Spanish officials at all levels in Manila, they were arrested as prisoners of war and imprisoned separately in places where they should go. The houses of these officials were naturally occupied by the Ming army. In addition to splitting several buildings for Portugal and British people, some were allowed to live in the Ming army, and some were temporarily empty for later use.
Because of George Churchill's identity, the officer asked the carriage to go to the residence of General Charlie, the commander of the British East India Company. After George Churchill thanked him, the carriage continued to move forward and soon arrived at the former Governor's Mansion, which is now Wang Dong's official residence.
When Wang Dong, who learned that William Adams came, was already waiting for him at the official residence. When he saw William Adams walk into the house, Wang Dong stood up with a smile and greeted him.
"Ship Wang has expanded the territory for our Ming Dynasty this time and promoted our great power to the future. The emperor admired him very much." Seeing Wang Dong, William Adams hurried forward and saluted.
"Hahaha, we don't have to do this kind of vain anymore. I said, you guy was not like this before. He has become more and more like a Ming Dynasty person over the years." Wang Dong and William Adams had dealt with each other before, and they were more familiar with each other. Besides, Wang Dong is a general and not a civil servant, so he doesn't have that much etiquette in his actions. He greeted him with a smile.
"Which Wang said this, the lower official is a native of the Ming Dynasty." William Adams sat down and smiled.
As soon as this said, Wang Dong was stunned at first, then nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, what I said just now is wrong. You are a native of the Ming Dynasty, an absolute Ming Dynasty."
After saying that, Wang Dong personally poured a cup of tea for William Adams to apologize. William Adams smiled and nodded to take it, and then the two started chatting.
Wang Dong first asked about William Adams's situation along the way. William Adams told him that the journey was very smooth, and then the two exchanged views on the situation of the Joint Court. Zhu Yicheng and the Military Affairs Office have already decided on the establishment of the Joint Court, and Wang Dong has been preparing for the preliminary work. Next, the Joint Court will be set up in the main building of the former Spanish Tribunal. He has asked someone to clean up the other side. The previous institutions as the command center have moved to the deputy building.
As for the candidates for judges in the United Court, in addition to the members of the three judicial departments, William Adams is mainly the judge directly, and the United Kingdom and Portugal will officially propose candidates in the next few days. As for candidates from other countries, Wang Dong told William Adams that he now has candidates from France, the Netherlands and Italy, and there are candidates from other countries that are still being decided.
William Adams is not an outsider, so Wang Dong naturally would not hide it from him. In fact, the French candidate is Russell. As a member of the General Affairs Office, Russell made many contributions in this Battle of Manila. It was precisely because of his intelligence and leadership that the Chinese in Manila escaped the disaster of being completely massacred.
Although Russell was a Ming person, his apparent identity was French. In addition, Russell was a little famous among merchants in the Far East, and his character was recognized by many people, so it was very appropriate for him to directly join the United Court as a Frenchman.
As for Italy, Wang Dong Jingtong Office recommended a missionary, who was upright and a good candidate. However, Wang Dong chose it. On the contrary, the Dutch people jumped out by themselves. After the Ming Dynasty took Manila, the Dutch people in the Far East immediately received the news and soon sent people to contact him.
Maybe I was worried that the Ming Dynasty would attack the Netherlands next, or other concerns, but the Netherlands was in a panic at this time. The Dutch East India Company has not done anything good in the Far East in recent years. Although it has not massacred like the brainless Spaniards, there are many small actions in private.
Now, in a furious Ming Dynasty, in conjunction with the Portuguese and the British fleet, directly attacking Luzon, and completely defeated the Spaniards in the Far East in such a short time. How could the Dutch, who was right beside him, not be frightened?
In this way, the Dutch came to touch the situation, and at the same time to please the Ming Dynasty. So when he found out that the Ming Dynasty intended to establish a joint court in Manila to trial the Spaniards, the Dutch immediately found that there was a good opportunity to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately proposed that the Netherlands would send judges to the joint court, and at the same time privately expressed to Wang Dong that the Spanish would inevitably be severely punished for such crazy behavior.
The pillow came just after falling asleep. Of course, Wang Dong would not refuse the Dutch who came to him, so he agreed with the flow.
"Wang Shuai, when he entered the city just now, the captain who took over the post said that I had just fought in the Ming Dynasty a few days ago. What's going on? Could it be that the Spaniards still have the power to fight in Luzon, or the natives were unwilling to fight back?"
After talking about the United Court, William Adams finally asked about it on his own initiative.
Wang Dong suddenly smiled and shook his head, "The main forces of the Spanish in Luzon are in Manila. Once Manila surrendered, there were only more than 100 troops stationed in other places. These people were not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, after taking Manila, all of these garrisons surrendered one by one."
"As for those natives, they were even more vulnerable. When they attacked Manila, the natives had already discovered that something was wrong and tried to escape back to the forest. I ordered my subordinates to encircle and suppress the natives. In these days, about 50,000 natives have been wiped out. Other natives have long been scared and fled far away. Humph! If there was no other thing in front of me, according to my temper, I would have to kill all these black monkeys!"
Although Wang Dong said that it was annihilation, it could be said that it was a complete elimination. After entering the city, the tragic situation in the city made the Ming army unite against the enemy, and even Wang Dong was very angry on the spot. In this way, Wang Dong issued an order for indiscriminate genocide to the natives. It is precisely because of this that there is no native in Manila now. All natives, men, women, and young who could be found and discovered by the Ming army, were killed by all the natives, and even caught groups of natives, were too lazy to use swords and guns, and directly dealt with all these people by pit killing.
"As for the battle you are asking about, it was actually not a land battle, but a naval battle." Wang Dong finally revealed his mystery.
"naval battle?"
"That's right!" Wang Dongdao: "Short after taking Manila, Spain came from the New World fleet. After learning the information, I sent someone to block the news of Manila's change of ownership. These Spanish people didn't know that the sky here had changed a long time ago, so they came in. Then you also knew it. After a little effort, they cleaned up all of these guys."
