In this world, there were always some people who were very lucky. They were prisoners of war waiting to die, but now they didn't have to die. They were prisoners of war who didn't know how dangerous the future would be, but now they became the king of a country.
The Spaniard who was chosen by Xiao Ruxun stared at Xiao Ruxun with his mouth agape. After listening to the Cleric Walker's translation, the Spaniard was even more shocked.
"Tell him, don't be afraid, I won't kill him. I want him to be the king, and let his brothers become high-ranking officials, generals, and rule the country together. They can all enjoy endless glory, splendor, splendor, and wealth! Money, food, wine! Beauties! "
Xiao Ruxun laughed as he explained to the Cleric. The Cleric had a hard time understanding Xiao Ruxun's meaning. He passed it on to the lucky Spaniard. The Spaniard showed a smile that was uglier than a crying face. He mumbled something incomprehensible.
"He said he's a new recruit. He doesn't have much prestige. I'm afraid he can't bear this kind of responsibility."
The Cleric passed on the message.
Xiao Ruxun laughed and said, "It's fine. Tell him that I will leave some soldiers for him. Those soldiers will protect his safety. Whoever dares to disobey his orders, the soldiers will help him take care of those bastards and kill them all! By the way, what's his name? "
Xiao Ruxun asked for the soldier's name.
"His name is Hendry."
"Hendry. Okay, I got it. Hendry, don't be afraid. You can be the king of Luzon. From now on, if anyone dares to disobey you, I'll kill them!
Including the people behind you and all the natives on this island. They will become your most loyal subjects. I'll help you take care of them. You just need to be the king. Translate for him. "
Xiao Ruxun looked at Hendry with a smile.
The Cleric looked troubled as he translated Xiao Ruxun's words to Hendry. The bitter smile on Hendry's face became more obvious.
"You, translate for everyone. He's the king of Luzon! He's the king of this land! Who dares to disobey him? Kill him immediately! "
Xiao Ruxun glared at the Spaniards and the missionaries with a fierce look on his face. After listening to the translation, these people had different expressions. Some were sympathetic, some were envious, some were jealous, some were deep in thought, some were afraid, and some were even yearning.
All the expressions of the human world were here.
No one wanted to risk their own lives, especially the hundreds of corpses and residual blood just now. All of this told them that if they did not obey the orders of the Chinese Marquis in front of them, they would die very miserably. Their lives were completely in his hands, and they had no way out.
A wise man submits to circumstances. This was a very good proposition. At the very least, after eradicating their path of retreat, these people could only work for Xiao Ruxun more loyally than their own people.
Chen Longzheng wrote Hendry's name on the surrender form and stamped it with the seal of Marquis Zhennan. This meant that the surrender form had legal force and was specially presented to the Ming court. On the surface, it was an agreement between the two countries.
After that, there was a private agreement between Marquis Zhennan and the new Luzon government, including 80% of the spice trade and tax revenue, as well as the mining development within the entire territory of Luzon. All domestic and foreign affairs were arranged by the "Minister of Luzon" appointed by Marquis Zhennan.
As long as the king of Luzon enjoyed his wealth, the rest of the Spaniards only needed to follow the arrangements of the Ming court and do what they had to do. As for the arrangement of the Catholic Church, Xiao Ruxun had also done it in detail.
First, they had to send a missionary who could speak Chinese to teach King Hendry of Luzon. Then, under the protection and arrangement of the Ming army, they would continue to infiltrate the tribes and spread their religion to the tribesmen, letting them experience the glory of God.
Since the Roman emperor could use these people to control people's minds, Xiao Ruxun could also use these people to harm the indigenous people of the Philippines.
Those indigenous people were cunning and greedy. They were definitely not easy to deal with. Xiao Ruxun did not have enough troops and preparation to conquer them in one battle. At most, he could hurt them and return to the previous pattern of the Spaniards.
Without enough troops and civil officials, Xiao Ruxun still needed the existence of the Catholic Church. He could use them to divide and disintegrate the power of the tribes, and even let them kill each other. His main focus was still on Myanmar, which was his base camp.
Although Bishop Alexander was not worried that Xiao Ruxun would kill him, the impression he had of Xiao Ruxun was completely different from the impression he had of Xiao Ruxun when he first met Xiao Ruxun.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, and temperamental. One second, he was still talking and laughing, and in the blink of an eye, he could order his subordinates to kill with a wave of his hand. This person was really terrifying.
It seemed that just by talking and laughing, he could decide the fate of a country and make so many arrangements. He played the Spaniards like playthings in the palm of his hand. Now, he wanted to play with his church like a plaything …
He suddenly had a feeling that many, many years ago, when the Roman emperor had just supported the church as the state religion, the top echelons of the church at that time.
At that time, the church bowed to the emperor, enlightened the people, and bound their minds. Even after the division of Rome and the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Vatican still submitted to the Eastern Roman Empire.
As for the rise of the church, that was later. The current situation seemed to be the same as when the Catholic Church first rose, becoming a tool of the ruler.
Bishop Alexander did not dare to mention to Xiao Ruxun about going to China to preach, but he did not expect that Xiao Ruxun would take the initiative to ask him to send dozens of people to Myanmar to preach.
He almost couldn't believe his ears as he looked at Xiao Ruxun with a look of ecstasy.
To be honest, he did not care about the Spaniards, and he did not care who the Philippines belonged to. As long as his life was saved, and the lives of the missionaries were saved, it did not matter. But the mission in China that he thought was completely hopeless was actually going to start?
"I still need your help in this matter and the stability of the Philippines in the future. In the process, I also saw your ability, so I have a little more trust in you. Now I need your help. You can give me dozens of capable missionaries. I need them to go back to Myanmar to help me preach."
Xiao Ruxun's statement made Bishop Alexander so excited that he almost fainted. He did not expect that under such a situation, the church would not only stop the losses, but also make a profit!
The God that no one knew existed at all! Did you hear that? Although I don't know if this matter has anything to do with you, and I don't believe you at all, I still have to say this!
