Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

When Pablo heard the two unfamiliar words "Heaven and Earth Army" and "Heaven and Earth Federation", his mind started to work rapidly.

He racked his brains, trying to recall whether there was such a country or organization in the world, but he came to nothing.

However, due to face issues, he was too embarrassed to ask the other party directly, for fear that he would be ridiculed as ignorant.

Just then, Pablo heard a request for details about the Spanish garrison.

So he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then answered: "Now almost all the troops stationed in the Philippines are concentrated in the city of Manila. Except for the more than 300 guards around the governor, all the rest of the troops have been gathered here."

"Where is your governor now?" Zuo Zhitang interrupted.

"Governor Wales was here to watch the battle, but now he's back at the Governor's Mansion."

Pablo then continued, "General, the places and islands outside of Manila are all entrusted to the Japanese to organize local indigenous people to form puppet armies, and they are responsible for local security and grain collection and taxation. The total number of these puppet armies is about 10,000."

Zuo Zhitang pondered for a moment, then turned around and gave instructions to the staff officer beside him: "Immediately order the troops to strengthen the security of the port and wait for the landing of the large force. At the same time, immediately send a telegram to report the specific situation here to Commander Mao without missing a word."

"Yes!"

The staff officer nodded without hesitation after receiving the order, then quickly turned around to arrange relevant matters and convey orders.

At the same time, in the command room of Ship 101, Mao Shiba was standing in front of the huge porthole, staring at the rough sea. He saw some survivors of the Spanish Navy still struggling to survive.

He picked up the microphone at hand with an expressionless face and ordered in a cold tone: "Pass my order down, have the marines of each ship take the landing craft and quickly go to the sea to capture these prisoners. Remember, if you find someone with missing limbs or too serious injuries to be treated, don't waste the effort to pull him out, so as not to waste resources and money."

"Report, the Marine Brigade sent an urgent telegram!"

At this time, an adjutant walked quickly into the command room, holding tightly in his hand a telegram that had just been received, and reported nervously.

"Read!"

Mao Shiba didn't even turn his head and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The adjutant responded quickly, then carefully opened the telegram, cleared his throat and began to read aloud:

"Report to the commander. Our Marine Brigade has successfully landed according to the planned schedule. The enemy commander, Colonel Pablo, and his 2,000-plus men surrendered voluntarily. The landing operation was carried out without encountering any resistance. Request that our large force land safely.

In addition, after our reconnaissance, we found that the enemy governor led 300 guards to escape back to the governor's palace in the city.

In addition, in most other areas of Luzon Island, there are Spanish puppet troops formed by Japanese and indigenous people, numbering about 10,000 people. "

Wei Xiaobao stood to one side with a meaningful smile on his face. He turned to look at Ling Zhao beside him and spoke slowly:

"Ling Zhao, look at your overseas subjects. None of them are obedient at all!"

Ling Zhao frowned slightly when she heard this, then smiled and responded:

"Brother Xiaobao, to be honest, my father once mentioned that those Japanese wanderers who were deeply poisoned by Bushido did not think about working all day long, but were keen on burning, killing and looting everywhere. They were just a group of robbers and bandits. They had long since betrayed the teachings and grace of Amaterasu and were not real citizens. So, Brother Xiaobao, you can act according to your own ideas without having to consider my face."

At this time, Su Quan, who had been standing quietly at the side, smiled and interrupted: "Eighth sister is really becoming more sensible and reasonable."

Wei Xiaobao nodded in agreement, and then his face straightened as he said loudly: "If that's the case, then we can't let these tumors continue to grow and spread. We must root them out as soon as possible, and we have to root them out thoroughly and completely!"

After saying this, he turned to Mao Shiba and the commander of the 1st Army Division, Xiao You, and gave an order with a firm and serious look:

"Mao Shiba, Xiao You, listen to my orders! Lead all the soldiers of the First Division to land on Luzon Island immediately and make sure to arrest all the foreigners and local indigenous people on the island who have owed blood debts to our Chinese compatriots.

Let these criminals work for China, mine minerals, and grow crops such as rice and sugarcane to atone for the sins they have committed.

As for the navy, they will go to other areas of the Philippine Islands to perform the same mission without any mistakes!"

After Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into a brief period of contemplation.

After a while, he spoke again: "We can consider letting the local Chinese people form an autonomous army on their own, and on this basis establish an organization called the 'Chinese Luzon Military Government'.

The newly established regime will be directly under the Federal Ministry of State Affairs for unified leadership and management.

At the same time, we need to select a person of high moral character and prestige from among the many overseas Chinese to serve as the governor. This way, we can better rally the people and stabilize the situation.”

Then, Wei Xiaobao continued to elaborate on his idea: "In addition, send a telegram to Commander Yang to send a city defense regiment from the garrison division to garrison Manila;

A battalion of troops was drawn from Zuo Zhitang's Marine Brigade to temporarily take charge of Luzon's coastal defense. After the navy expanded its warships, a naval fleet would be arranged to be stationed in Luzon.

At the same time, the head of the city defense regiment was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Luzon Autonomous Army, and the battalion commander of the Marine Corps was appointed as the chief of staff of the Autonomous Army. This will not only enhance the local military strength, but also achieve coordinated operations and effective cooperation between the two armies. "

At this point, Wei Xiaobao paused, then raised his voice and emphasized: "There is another crucial point, that is, all the Spanish arquebuses seized in this battle should be distributed to the autonomous army! After the army is equipped with the Type 56 family weapons, the existing Mauser rifles will be gradually equipped to the overseas autonomous army."

Finally, Wei Xiaobao thought of the problem of personnel replenishment. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If the Chinese population in Luzon is insufficient to meet the needs of forming an autonomous army and subsequent development, then we might as well go to Fujian and other places to recruit.

For those who are willing to settle in Luzon and participate in the construction, we will give generous rewards, such as free houses and land. I believe that through these measures, we will be able to attract a large number of people with lofty ideals to devote themselves to this land of Southeast Asia full of opportunities and challenges. "
