After thinking for a night, Zhao Hao held a senior staff meeting in the tent of the General Command the next day. In addition to senior staff of the coast guard such as Jin Ke and senior staff of the General Staff Office, there were also Tang Paul and the reviewers of the Governor's Office.

Everyone discussed the content of the "Sander Report" and how to deal with the counterattack in Spain, and most importantly, how to build Luzon in the next step, and finally decided on a package of plans.

Zhao Hao named it "Yongxia Plan".

Yongxia was 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, and it also has the meaning of "Yongxia is the land of China"!

The new Yongxia City will become the garrison of the Coast Guard General Headquarters, the Governor's Office of Luzon and the People's Armed Forces Department of Luzon.

The People's Armed Forces Department is similar to the Zhechong Prefecture during the Tang Dynasty. Under the guidance of the Coast Guard General Command, it is responsible for the regular training, assembly, and equipment storage of Luzon soldiers. During the war, officers sent by the Coast Guard General Command sent officers to command the battle uniformly.

Because the old Spanish royal city was originally too small and it took months of disinfection to meet the conditions for entry. 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 garrison of the three major institutions in the future and the central city of Luzon.

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 military and civilians that after our analysis, the Spaniards, who were used to being arrogant, would definitely not give up after suffering this great loss.

This was a blow to the Luzon military and civilians who were still immersed in the joy of victory. The smiles on many people's faces were frozen...

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

"But the Spanish fleet still doesn't know that the Year of the Monkey and Horses are coming. I think it will be difficult for at least two years! So we cannot delay the construction of Luzon just because we are worried about the revenge of the Spanish. Otherwise, if they don't come for ten years, we can do nothing and wait for ten years in vain? Then you are happy, the group will not go bankrupt..."

Mr. Zhao's relaxed attitude greatly boosted the confidence of the military 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 "focusing on me and focusing on construction". As for this war, as long as we need to fight, we do not set a deadline. Let Rausz's deputy king of Spain, or Philip II, make the decision. We will fight when we come, and we will carry out construction without coming, and we can even fight while we are building!"

The tide of applause interrupted Zhao Hao's speech several times. This fearless spirit of learning from the old man, "let the rain blow and the wind blow, and I walk in the garden" is the most infectious, united and changed 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 hand passionately and said, "We not only want to drive them away. Sooner or later, we will also fight to America and turn the Pacific Ocean into the inland sea of ​​our China!"

The effect of this speech was excellent. The Luzon military and civilians were infused with infinite strength and were completely prepared to build Luzon for a long time and defend their homes.

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

The theater is different from the security zone. It is a wartime system under the unified leadership of the theater command. The Governor's Office and the People's Armed Forces Department must unconditionally execute all the commands of the headquarters until the war with the Spanish is completely victorious.

After the meeting, Zhao Hao asked someone to bring the captured Bishop of the Catholic Philippine Diocese, Franco, to himself.

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

Priest Franco was in good spirits, but the original color of the priest robe on his body was no longer visible, and it still had a strong smell of urine.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly praised himself for being too prescient.

The priest bowed to him, and Zhao Hao nodded slightly as a return, then asked him to sit down, and even asked someone to pour him a glass of Sherry wine.

Father Franco seemed to be a different life. He thought that after becoming a prisoner of the devil, he would never be able to drink the wine from his hometown again.

But the son of the devil was obviously a noble man. This made Franco feel a little calm, and he quickly took the opportunity to defend himself: "We are the Lord's servants and not warriors. To spread the Lord's gospel, our purpose is to do good and not evil..."

Zhao Hao sneered in his heart, "Didn't you barbecue enthusiasts force people to convert to the letters everywhere in America, and so many Indians will die?"

But he is already a mature politician, and he can hide it even if he hates it. He held a high-legged glass, gently shook the scarlet wine in the glass, and said gracefully:

"I believe what you said."

"Uh..." Franco was stunned. He saw what the other party did, and naturally he was a cruel and decisive person. He didn't expect that he believed his own nonsense so easily.

"Thank you." What else could the priest say?

"The priest may not know yet," Zhao Hao explained with a smile: "When I was conquering Japan, I met several priests. Although the Portuguese were cunning and despicable, I was deeply impressed by the noble character of the priests, such as Father Torres and Father Louis. I also readily agreed to their request to become the protector of the Chetstan religion in the Far East."

"That's it." Father Franco showed surprise. However, those Italians did not have the power to decide to protect the church. They should have invited this person to become the protectors of the Jesuit mission in the East.

Although there are many protectors, it still makes Father Franco feel particularly absurd. This person is clearly the son of Satan and the dragon clan, but he becomes the protector of the Lord's servant.

But his life is important at this moment, and he dared not make any trouble, saying that we are Daoming Temple... Oh no, the Daoming and the unconventional miscellaneous practitioners of the Jesus are not the same thing.

He expressed his gratitude in ambiguously and asked Zhao Hao if he was willing and to give all the priests freedom?

"Of course." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, "In any country, it is not a glorious thing to imprison some people with noble character."

As he said that, Franco raised his glass and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, the priest can take them away."

"That's so thankful to you." Father Franco was ecstatic. God blessed, it was really a line of hell and heaven!

He quickly bowed and raised his glass, trying to clink with Zhao Hao.

But he saw that the other party's movement suddenly stopped.

Zhao Hao's hand holding the wine glass was hanging there, and added lightly: "And I will release the 100,000 indigenous believers together. Is this a competent protector?"

"Ah?" Father Franco was dizzy, his hands trembled, and the wine spilled on the beach. "There are a total of 100,000 people!"

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and said with admiration: "At that time, I heard that there were still 100,000 natives in your camp, and I wondered what you are doing? After interrogation, I realized that it was because you were worried that once you left, those Igoro people would take revenge on the Lord's believers, so that they would bring all the indigenous believers together."

"In our country, this is called 'benevolence and righteousness'. It is because I know your merciful actions that I will decide to release you all." Then Zhao Hao emphasized in a more emphasis.

Franco could naturally hear that Zhao Hao regarded these 100,000 natives as the premise for releasing them, the priests.

"This is this..." He wanted to refuse. But he couldn't say this at this time!

Because Zhao Hao thought that their priests were merciful, he took the initiative to release them. If he said that we would not take the monkey away, it would not mean denying our mercy? So the premise for the other party to release them no longer exists...

"Damn!" Father Franco smiled reluctantly as if he had eaten a hundred thousand flies, "Of course we cannot give up the Lord's flock, but we really don't have the ability to bring so many believers back to Cebu!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange the fleet." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The north wind is about to blew, and it's a good time to send them to Cebu."

"But, Cebu is too small to accommodate so many people..." Father Franco said again.

"This is the responsibility of the Spaniards. Aren't they strong national strength and claiming to be an empire that the sun never sets? Over the years, they have made a fortune by trading in large sailboats and support a mere 100,000 believers, without any effort?!" Mr. Zhao showed an obvious impatient expression and said:

"Prince, there is an old saying in China that is 'Stop when you can't let me down'. Please don't let me down."

"I understand, I will take them with me." Father Franco swallowed his saliva and had to carry this heavy burden. He then asked, "Can Colonel Saldo and other Spanish officers and soldiers be released together?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Hao refused sternly. He told Franco that the two countries were at war. Before the Spaniards realized their heinous crimes and promised that they would never invade Luzon, they did not consider releasing prisoners of war.

After saying that, he glanced at the poor Father Franco and sighed helplessly: "Well, in order to make the Spaniards accept the indigenous believers, you can tell the officials in Cebu that before they settled these believers, I can stop attacking Cebu for the time being, so as not to have a great famine."

"Your Excellency is so kind." Father Franco said slightly, "I will try my best to mediate to see if the two countries can stop the army."

As he said that, he sighed and said, "Actually, I don't agree with the war between Spain and your country. If peace can be restored, it would be great."

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

"First, apologize for the atrocities of the massacre of our compatriots and compensate the victims. Second, we guarantee that all the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty will never be violated, and that the Ming Dynasty's sovereignty over all vassal states will be recognized. Third, increase the trade volume of large sailboats, and then the annual trade volume will be negotiated 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!"
