The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Zhu Heyi did not expect that he just released a promotional video, and its influence was so great that Xu Jingming came to see him early the next morning and said:

“Your Majesty, the Navy Office, Army Office, and Armed Police Force Office are all crowded with people who came to sign up to join the army!

There are just too many people!The office staff can no longer handle it. There are currently serious traffic jams in these areas. It is roughly estimated that the number of people signing up to join the army this time will be tens of thousands! "

"In addition, many foreigners have visited the Foreign Legion office. They are all asking whether joining the Foreign Legion can obtain Ming Dynasty nationality."

"Weichen also received notes from multiple sub-district offices this morning. They said that there are currently many people petitioning for the restoration of the Ming army uniforms from the earlier period."

Listening to the bunch of questions asked by Xu Jingming, Zhu Heyi frowned.

"Xu Aiqing, regarding the recruitment issue, I will arrange for the military department to send more manpower to set up recruitment points in various places in the city. You should pay attention to arranging manpower to assist in the flow of personnel. As for the issue of naturalization and military uniforms, I will consider it myself."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After sending Xu Jingming away, Zhu Heyi fell into deep thought.

Tens of thousands of people signed up to join the army!

The people's enthusiasm to join the army shows that everyone's recognition of the Ming Dynasty is constantly strengthening, which is a good thing.

However, there are only more than 5 Han people in the entire city of Manila.

It is not feasible to recruit a quarter or a fifth of the people to serve as soldiers. Such a high ratio of soldiers to civilians is not feasible.

Moreover, all the strong laborers have gone to serve as soldiers, so what will happen to the factory?

Use those native pigs?

What else can those guys with simple minds and underdeveloped limbs do besides doing some physical work?

If the natives were allowed to do fine work, Zhu Heyi was worried that these people would destroy his factory!

As a result, this recruitment must control the number, or increase the assessment requirements, or simply recruit only navy sailors.

In fact, the key to this problem lies in the insufficient number of Han people in Luzon Island.

It seems that we must find a way to immigrate from the country immediately!

As for the issue of foreigners wanting to join the Ming Dynasty as a nationality, they need to think about this carefully.

Although the concept of naturalization existed before, no clear indicators for naturalization were given, and no foreigner has obtained Ming nationality so far.

Or let them serve in the Foreign Legion for three years without pay?

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi's eyes lit up.

Right, that is it!

If you want to join the Ming Dynasty, you must serve three years without pay to prove your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty! (Can be changed, you decide)

Of course, this no salary cannot mean no salary at all. In order to prevent these people from starving to death during their vacation, it is better to give them two cents of silver every month as a living allowance.

In addition, if there is a significant contribution, this can also be included in the assessment criteria.

The last point about the Ming army's uniforms was something Zhu Heyi didn't expect.

It is absolutely impossible to change the military uniform back. It has just been changed not long ago. If the military uniform is changed back just because of some petitions from the people, then where will the face of the old Zhu family be put?

However, it can be used as another set of attire for the Ming army and can be used in some sacrificial ceremonies.

……

In the port of Manila, a shabby small sailing ship slowly docked.

A group of strangely dressed people helped a depressed middle-aged man off the boat.

"Your Majesty the King! We have arrived in Manila, you must hold on! His Majesty the Emperor of China will definitely make the decision for us."

A young man accompanying him looked at the poor condition of the middle-aged man and said worriedly.

"Are we already here? Quick, take me to see His Majesty the Emperor of China!"

The middle-aged man who was originally sluggish, upon hearing the young man's words, his expression became much more energetic, as if he had come back to his senses.

"Your Majesty the King, we'd better go to the city and find a place to treat your injuries first. If this continues, your body may not be able to bear it!"

Among the people accompanying him, some people were worried.

"No, we must go and see His Majesty the Emperor of China immediately! Otherwise, I will never rest in peace even if I die!" The middle-aged man who was called the king said firmly.

"Hey, we obey the king's orders!"

……

"Your Majesty, there is a group of people outside the palace claiming to be envoys from Sulu. They want to ask to see Your Majesty."

The old eunuch Wang Chen knocked on the door and walked into the office to report to Zhu Hehui.

"Sulu Country? Why do they come to see me? Don't come here to pay tribute. I won't give them double gifts in return." Zhu Heyi said curiously.

Naturally, he knew about Sulu. It was an archipelago country extending from Mindanao and Zamboanga Peninsula to the east coast of Kalimantan. It was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps because the country is small and weak, this country has a very special affection for the central dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, he was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Even during the Yongle period, the king of Sulu State took his family and more than 300 people to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Then he used the gifts given by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to eat, drink and have fun everywhere in Ming Dynasty, and then... he died of illness in Shandong.

When the Qing Dynasty arrived, the Sulu Kingdom even submitted a letter requesting to be incorporated into the Qing Kingdom...

How could the Qing court, which was indifferent even to its own citizens, care about you, a small country in the middle of nowhere?

So not surprisingly, Sulu was rejected.

And now, why did Sulu come to see him?

Are you anxious to hug someone else's lap, or are you saying that the pot cannot be opened in China?Waiting for the generous Ming Emperor to pay him double tribute and go back to cook the rice?

"Your Majesty, after all, this is our vassal state in name, why don't we meet!" Wang Chen whispered.

"Then let's meet and you can make arrangements."

Zhu Heyi nodded.In any case, this is also the first envoy from a vassal state to come to see him, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is for the sake of face, he still has to see him.

Naturally, the envoys from the vassal countries cannot be received in the office anymore. After all, it would undermine the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

So the "Jinluan Hall" (the lobby of the Governor's Mansion), which was only used once, finally ushered in its second spring.

In the main hall, His Majesty Emperor Yun tomorrow, wearing a brand-new dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair with dignity.

Wang Chen glanced at His Majesty Emperor Zhu Da, and then shouted loudly with that strange voice he hadn't seen for a long time.

"The envoy from Xuan Sulu Kingdom is here to see you!"

The next moment, the "hall door" opened, and a thin, black, middle-aged man wearing a python robe walked into the hall with his head lowered, knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted:

"Foreign minister, King Jilanggeba of Sulu State, pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor!" (?)

……

The results are dismal, please give me some reward from your bosses.
