Hersipania (corrected in previous chapter) did not rule long in Luzon.
Before they arrived, most places in Nanyang, including Luzon, were invaded.
There are only overseas immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam, and some local indigenous people.
Although the two major forces occasionally conflict, most of the time they are mutually beneficial and coexist in a friendly manner.
This is due to the concept that the people of the Central Plains are hardworking and simple, and that harmony can bring wealth.
These immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam brought advanced technology and spread the fire of civilization.
However, due to their own morals and the intimidation of the court, they may look down upon overseas enclaves.
In short, for various reasons.
Although there are many people, few of them are kings.
On the contrary, the indigenous people established political power one after another.
And paid tribute to the Wei Dynasty.
After the Hercybanians arrived, they had fierce conflicts with the local indigenous people.
The Maniela Kingdom in Luzon was quite powerful at the time.
Including Badayan and other places in the south, most of Luzon is under its jurisdiction.
Under the command of its lord, the country of Manila fought bravely against these Hercybanians.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened in the end.
As a result, the king was unfortunately killed in a naval battle.
Afterwards, Mannira was conquered by Hercypania.
These Hercybanians not only established the Governor's Palace in the city of Manila, but also took over the rule of the Kingdom of Manila.
It also established a stronghold in Cebu, radiating to the Southeast Asian islands.
At this point, Luzon was basically reduced to a Hercybanian colony.
Why almost?
Because there are still very powerful forces in the local area that are not under their rule.
These Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants only watched on the sidelines when the war between Hercynian and Manila was fought.
Because to them, it doesn't matter who rules.
As long as it doesn't touch their interests, it has nothing to do with them.
They relied on the powerful Central Plains Dynasty, and they were quite proud of the Celestial Kingdom.
Thinking that these Xifan did not dare to touch them lightly.
In addition, compared to the wild and untamable natives in a semi-primitive state, the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants are much more industrious and simple.
Hercybania also needs a large number of laborers and maintains good business relationships with merchants in the Wei Dynasty.
So the two sides reached a new balance.
This relationship lasted until the later period of Emperor Tiantai.
As far as the Hercybanians in Luzon, and the Hercynian Franciscans in Manchuria.
Disagreements arose over the ownership of the Moluccas.
The spices that are abundant in the Molucca Islands are so profitable that after being shipped back to Haixi, people will be jealous.
Several minor conflicts broke out between the two parties, which eventually turned into a fierce battle.
It was at this time that the then governor of Luzon set his sights on Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants.
They must be recruited to start a war with Mancijia.
His abacus took off, but the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants were not stupid either.
The Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants have always been neutral overseas and will naturally not participate in such a war.
Hercypania's military strength in Southeast Asia was slightly weaker than that of Mancicca, so the governor of Luzon at the time had no choice.
However, he forced local Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants to join the war, which aroused their resistance.
During the march, someone organized a counterattack.
All the Hersibanians, including the governor, were wiped out.

After this conflict, the Hercybanians in Manila began to unite with the indigenous people of Luzon to squeeze out these Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants.
There are more and more voices pushing the Fujian and Yue immigrants back to the Wei Dynasty.
For a time, Luzon was in turmoil.
The two major forces are facing each other tit for tat, and neither one is willing to give in.
Under such a situation, someone reported this to the Wei court.
The Wei Dynasty immediately sent the Quanzhou Navy to Manila to bring back three thousand Wei people.
But most of the people who went back this time were prominent local figures.
There are still tens of thousands of ordinary immigrants stranded in Luzon.
Without their leader, these people quickly fell behind.
The Hercybanians united with the local indigenous people and carried out a bloody massacre of these people.
The immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam were almost completely cleared out.
At this point, Luzon became the territory of the Hercybanians.
But these Hersibanians soon discovered.
Without these Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants, the city of Manila was paralyzed.
The main force in local cultivation of crops and business operations has always been Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants.
Take reclamation as an example, the efficiency of indigenous people is extremely low.
Not half as hard-working as the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants.
Not to mention the local commercial transactions, without these Wei people, they all came to a standstill.
These people wanted to get drunk, but no one knew how to make wine.
As a result, in the following few years, countless immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam continued to flow in.
Once again, it filled the shortage of local labor force and the gap in commerce and trade.
Originally, the matter ended here, but soon there were rumors that "there is a gold mine in Luzon".
As the news spread to the Wei Dynasty, the imperial court also sent people to investigate on the spot.
But such a prospecting move touched the sensitive balance of the Governor of Luzon.
These Hersibanians believed that the Wei Dynasty wanted to occupy Luzon by force.
So the Hercybanians of Manila reunited with the local indigenous people.
All these later Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants were slaughtered.
This time the news came back to Wei Dynasty, it was already the period of Emperor Jingshun.
At that time, Emperor Jingshun and his cabinet received the news and issued the following instructions:
"Immigrating overseas, abandoning home and traveling to the sea, is looked down upon by father, brother, and relatives."
"There is a fight overseas, and the culprit is unknown. How can we start a military revolution like this?"
What you are saying is that overseas immigrants should abandon the Wei Dynasty first, and the Wei Dynasty will not send troops for you.
In fact, this is also a helpless move.
Because Emperor Jingshun at that time had just ascended to power.
The throne is not yet stable.
The military power is all in Jiuxun's hands, how can he dare to use weapons rashly?
What if it is fake news, defrauding the order to mobilize troops, and then attacking back?
Zhang Songyue, the chief assistant of the cabinet, entered the cabinet to assist him as a newly minted imperial master.
Even the emperor is not safe, let alone his imperial master.
If he ordered troops to be sent out, he would be easily criticized.
Put on the label of "unstable".
As the saying goes, "You must be cautious when you are old and seek for a country."
As the chief assistant, if you can't be "steady", then it's basically time to go home and retire.
How could he get a reputation for being provocative because of things that happened thousands of miles away?
Therefore, the master and apprentice rejected the request to send troops in a tacit understanding.
Such news spread back to Fujian and Vietnam, making all overseas immigrants feel cold.
The Hercybanians on the other side were worried that Wei would retaliate, so they stepped up their army preparations for war.

[Red Mansion: Take Xue Baochai home at the beginning] []
However, due to lack of troops and food, morale was very low.
Facing a behemoth like Wei, there was almost no possibility of winning.
In such a desperate situation, the Hersibanians can only wait pessimistically.
The entire city of Manila is enveloped in an atmosphere of despair.
Governor Manila was also a little scared.
While he sent people to inquire about Wei's movements, he also started to do superficial work.
It also promised to return the property of overseas immigrants.
When they learned about Wei's attitude, these Hersibanians were shocked.
They were all prepared for failure, but nothing came of it.
Such a result made the Hercybanians no longer have any scruples about the overseas immigrants from the Wei Dynasty.
There is nothing more to say about the property that was originally promised to be returned.
The methods of ruling the immigrants of the Wei Dynasty also became more and more cruel.
Even if Feng Yibo doesn't send troops this time, it probably won't take long.
The Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants here have become unbearable and are ready to resist again.
It was against this background that Mengzi led his troops to Manila.
Governor Manila has received the news in advance and has made some preparations for the battle.
There is no way, the fleet is so large that it cannot cover its tracks at sea.
Trying to pretend to be an ordinary businessman is no longer possible.
But before that, Mengzi had already sent people as the vanguard to sneak into the city.
When preparing for the arrival of the army, the inside should be coordinated and the outside should be coordinated.
Governor Mannila received the news and thought it was the navy of Wei Dynasty.
They were so frightened that they closed the water stronghold and reduced their troops in the city.
And began to urgently recruit indigenous people and keep an eye on Fujian and Vietnamese immigrants.
Little did they know that many Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants in the city had also received the news.
At this time, several highly respected people have been recommended and quickly connected.
Before the Hercybanians came over, they had already discovered the Liuqiu vanguard that had sneaked into the city.
And helped cover up the past.
The Hersibanians could hardly distinguish the people sent by Liuqiu.
But these Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants revealed their identities almost instantly.
Without him, immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam are almost all fellow villagers.
Many are from one township.
And these vanguard troops of Liuqiu are all strangers.
There are also many people whose accents are from the Jiangnan area.
If there were dozens of people, it would be inconspicuous.
But seven or eight groups of people appeared at the same time, all with unfamiliar faces.
It is again in this sensitive period when soldiers are pressing down on the country.
In the eyes of the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants, this is almost like a guiding light.
It’s really too obvious at first glance.
When these immigrants expressed their willingness to help and fight against the Hersibanians together.
Liuqiu, the leading officer here, accepted it happily.
Although the accents of Minyue and Jiangnan are different, they are definitely like one family overseas.
Especially when facing Xifan.
The advance troops in Liuqiu chose to believe these fellow Wei people.
Later, the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants learned that they were actually the people of the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea.
I was immediately overjoyed.
Dawei had almost abandoned them. They wanted to avoid being bullied and needed a backer.
Once the name of the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea comes up, he is definitely the best choice.
This name is so resounding that even Xifan, let alone them, knows it.
In the past few years, anyone who lives at sea knows about the Black Dragon King.

[Red Mansion: Take Xue Baochai home at the beginning] []
Especially not long ago, the Black Dragon King did something.
All overseas immigrants in Nanyang and the maritime merchants of the Great Wei Dynasty were deeply inspired.
That is, nearly a hundred heads of Hercynian France people were brought back to Mancajia.
At the same time, there was an oral message from the Black Dragon King: warning them not to smuggle.
Although it was just a warning, this was the first time that the Wei people were tough at sea.
As for Mancijia, there has been no response so far.
Because they had already inquired about the strength of the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea through some businessmen.
In the descriptions of these businessmen who have been to Liuqiu, four words are mentioned repeatedly:
Unfathomable!
Not to mention anything else, since the rise of the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea.
Almost all the Japanese pirates who had been harassing the coast of the Wei Dynasty for many years were wiped out.
On the surface, it is the credit of Ningbo Wei and Quanzhou Wei.
But many people know the inside story.
Countless islands occupied by Japanese pirates were burned to the ground overnight.
There are also many rumors that maritime merchants who colluded with Japanese pirates have disappeared.
They were all fed to fish by the Black Dragon King.
However, there is no evidence for this matter, so it is only spread among overseas businessmen.
But it doesn’t matter whether this is true or not.
Many maritime merchants originally had relations with the Japanese pirates and even had some relations with the Japanese country.
In the past few years, I have been terrified.
Be in constant panic all day long.
For fear of being misunderstood by the Black Dragon King's people and being targeted overseas, he would sink into the sea to feed the fishes.
Of course, these are just rumors.
When the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants in Luzon heard about the Black Dragon King, the first thing they thought of was:
Since the Black Dragon King had beaten and warned Haixi Francis Ya.
And Hercybania, whose strength is comparable to Hercynian Fransiya, is certainly no problem!
If the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea occupies this place, then they are also immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam who were born in the Wei Dynasty.
Aren’t they just first-class citizens of Luzon and even Nanyang?
Don't talk about being bullied by then. If you don't bully others, it will count as a kind-hearted person!
It was precisely with these thoughts in mind that the temporary leaders elected by the Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants were excited.
They all said they wanted people and things.
Naturally, Liuqiu's vanguard would not refuse, and both sides immediately made a plan together.
As soon as Mengzi's army arrived, the vanguard troops who had already sneaked into the water village immediately made achievements.
Manila's water village was captured directly from the inside, and it was opened wide to welcome the Liuqiu fleet.
Mengzi's army successfully entered the harbor without any effort.
A dozen Western-style warships that could accommodate 300 people were also captured without damage.
By the time Governor Mannila reacted, Mengzi was already approaching the city.
Although Manila Castle has thick walls, it is extremely well defended.
But looking at the brightly armored soldiers outside the city, the Governor of Luzon was almost desperate.
At the same time, Fujian-Vietnamese immigrants moved again in the city.
The gunpowder Mengzi prepared was not used, and the city gate was already opened from the inside.
Except for the loss of the vanguard.
When they captured the water stronghold and opened the city gate, more than ten people died.
The Mengzi army took Manila with almost no use of weapons.
At the same time, it has also started here in Cebu.
Here the Liuqiu army encountered fierce resistance from the Hercybanians.
There was no strong city to defend in Cebu. As Liuqiu's military formation compressed, the Hercybanians were slowly surrounded in several small castles.

Rice Ball Exploration
As the "bang" of gunpowder sounded, what greeted these Hersibanians was only the collapse of their houses.
The battle ended quickly, with more damage than Luzon.
Together, both sides lost nearly a hundred soldiers.
This was the largest loss since the founding of the New Army.
Originally, according to the plan, the Hersibanians would be sent to Liuqiu as prisoners.
Or logging, or mining.
However, Mengzi was aroused by this unprecedented battle damage and directly ordered that no prisoners be taken.
So far, the Hercybanians of Luzon and Cebu.
All were annihilated!
Governor Mancijia got the news and was ready for battle.
Even be prepared to be wiped out as well.
However, I waited and waited, but there was no news.
Only when he sent envoys over to negotiate did he find out that the garrison was left there and the rest had been withdrawn.
This made the people from Hexi France both happy and puzzled.
It can only be attributed to the fact that this Black Dragon King came to avenge the immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam!
At this point, the status of Wei's overseas immigrants in Nanyang was suddenly elevated to the highest level.
No one dares to mess with me anymore!
