The indigenous people near Manila are not only the Kakun tribe. But without exception, these tribes have deep entanglements with the Han people.
There are both close ties and blood feuds.
Therefore, when Chen Jiujiu led the Luzon Han people to sweep into the town, these natives suffered.
Gu Erzhong saw this, but did not comment, apparently acquiescing.
"Next, the military will sweep across the entire Luzon. You will send guides to lead the army. Remember, when you leave the vicinity of Manila, you are not allowed to kill the natives again."
Gu Erzhong set the tone for the next action.
As long as they are not natives of Luzon near Manila, Xia Jun will treat them differently.
"Haha, the general doesn't know something. Even the nearby natives have quite a lot of contacts with us Han people and are friendly to us. The common people have drawn up a list for the general's reference."
Guo Laoguan was eager to try and move forward.
Gu Erzhong looked across at him, making him tremble with fear, not understanding what went wrong.
"The government and the military have their own rules on how to deal with the indigenous people near Manila. Just follow their orders."
Chen Jiujiu, Zhang Chunfu, Guo Laoguan and others all felt numb, feeling that these new rulers were not easy to serve.
How did they know that Xia Guo had made a very complete plan for the situation in Luzon.
How could Xia Guo not know the complicated relationship between the indigenous people and the Han people near Manila?
Although many of the tribes are still very friendly to the Han people, they cannot escape the Xia Kingdom's targeting this time.
There is only one reason.
That is to weaken the influence of the local Han people to prevent the world from hanging upside down and being top-heavy.
If the Xia Kingdom wants to rule here in the future, it will definitely be inseparable from the help of the Han people and indigenous people in Luzon.
Especially the Han people in Luzon were the foundation of Xia's rule.
Because of this, we need to use these Han people, but we cannot let them become big in vain, but rather override the government.
By dealing with the indigenous people close to the Han people near Manila, the connection between the two sides can be severed.
From then on, both the Han people and the local indigenous people could only obey the orders of the government. Don't even think about colluding together and doing anything wrong.
Such profound tactics are obviously not something that the Han people in Luzon can figure out.
They could only watch as the Xia army raided all the indigenous tribes near Manila and arrested all the leaders and senior officials of these tribes.
On the contrary, the civilians and ordinary people of these tribes were not disturbed in any way.
Half a month later, just outside the Intramuros of Manila, Huang Zongyan held a trial on behalf of the government.
The indigenous people from all over Luzon Island were summoned to witness this far-reaching judgment in person.
The first were those high-ranking Spanish military officers and nobles.
Without exception, their only end was death.
These people must pay the price for their aggression and massacre.
When they saw that all the Spaniards who had dominated the country before were hanged one by one, both the Han Chinese and the indigenous people in Luzon were shocked and at the same time ecstatic.
They had long hated the Spaniards, but there was nothing they could do.
Now someone made the decision for them and avenged them, and they immediately gained the support of the vast majority of people.
Huang Zongyan did not let go of the remaining Spaniards easily.
"If anyone among you has been insulted by these Spaniards, you can stand up and testify now, and I will make the decision for you."
These words were extraordinary and immediately caused an unprecedented sensation among the onlookers.
Immediately, a Han man jumped out, pointed at a Spanish soldier, and complained angrily.
"Mr. Qingtian, this is the man. Three years ago, he broke into my shop. Not only did he not give me money, he also took away all the cloth. My father even broke his ribs when he tried to stop him. A few days ago, he broke into my shop. He later died from his injuries. Please make the decision to avenge my father."
His accusation was confirmed by many witnesses.
Huang Zongyan did not waste any time. He pointed at the Spaniard and asked the soldiers to drag him out and hang him on the spot.
Seeing him making decisions for the people so straightforwardly, the grievances of the common people finally had a way to explode.
Huang Zongyan's expression remained unchanged as he listened to and collected evidence one by one. As long as it is confirmed, it will be executed immediately.
Some natives also jumped out in the hope that he would do justice, and he treated them equally.
Seeing their enemies being executed on the spot, the mentality of the natives also changed.
They knew deeply that the new rulers were completely different and would treat them as human beings.
This change was exactly what Xia Guo wanted.
Huang Zongyan knows that people’s hearts can be used.
After dealing with the most evil people among the Spaniards, they also pulled out the indigenous leaders for a new round of trials.
These indigenous leaders are also not clean, and the blood debts they have committed are also countless.
The oppressed indigenous people have been aroused into anger. They don't think too much at this time and just want to take revenge.
When they saw the leaders who treated themselves like cattle and horses, driven and harmed at will, being hanged, many natives burst into tears on the spot, and at the same time, they thanked Huang Zongyan profusely and prostrated themselves.
Obviously, from now on they will become the most loyal supporters, even more pious and loyal than the Han people in Luzon.
Huang Zongyan looked calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
When Zuo Mengeng asked him to come to Luzon to implement this strategy, he was still doubtful.
I feel that the indigenous people here are ignorant, have language barriers, and have different customs. The best way is to communicate and communicate with the upper-class people among the indigenous people, which is conducive to governance.
How can we wipe out the slightly civilized and enlightened upper class and expect the people at the bottom to wholeheartedly support it?
But now it seems that Zuo Menggeng is truly wise and wise, and he has seen through the essence.
As an outsider, Xia Kingdom would obviously not be welcomed by local vested interests.
If these vested interests are not completely eliminated, they will inevitably cause trouble behind the scenes in the future, increase the cost of rule, deceive people, fight against Xia State, and then take advantage of the opportunity to make profits.
On the contrary, after eliminating these vested interests and distributing benefits to ordinary people, you can calm the people's hearts and gain more support.
The methods here in Manila are a little more intense, but other than that, Xia Guo's actions in other places are relatively peaceful.
Because the Han people have never set foot in those places, there is no conflict of interest between the local indigenous people and the Han people.
Except for those natives who were extremely vicious, warlike and murderous, the Xia Kingdom adopted a gentle policy.
Luzon, which was once chaotic, quickly calmed down and turned out to be even more peaceful and stable than during Spain's tough repression.
Faced with this situation, Huang Zongyan and others were amazed and at the same time learned a lot.
