Chapter 1674 Take Over Gradually
For the military, the attack on Manila is no different from an attractive big cake. From the Ministry of National Defense to the grassroots troops, all the personnel and groups involved in this operation can more or less recover after the war is over. Get some really affordable benefits.What the Ministry of National Defense wants is for the executive committee to give the military more resources and military spending, as well as policy preference; what the generals want is to expand the number of troops under their command, improve the level of equipment and combat effectiveness; grassroots officers will get the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune , Ordinary soldiers will also receive generous combat subsidies for the final victory of this operation.
Not only that, the various units that provided assistance to the military during this war, such as the Ministry of Security, Ministry of Shipping, medical and health, civil affairs departments, etc., will also receive corresponding rewards after the war.The recent acquisition of an established colony like Manila means that there are many vacancies in official positions and positions. This is a rare opportunity for promotion in many people's careers.
The Spaniards' operations here are relatively extensive, and the Governor's Palace is in charge of the overall situation, but the specific management work below is not as detailed as the division of labor in Haihan Society. Many things are all gathered in the Governor's Palace and Aragones decides with one word. .To some extent, he, the governor of the Philippines, can be regarded as a local emperor. The ruling power is completely in his own hands, and his life may be more comfortable than some high-ranking officials in the country.
However, the disadvantages of this way of ruling are also obvious. The work arrangements in various fields are naturally chaotic and extremely inefficient, so that Spain has ruled here for more than half a century, and it has only developed a range of hundreds of miles around Manila. No second city was built in the area around Manila Bay, only some towns with a population of one thousand.Even Cavite Port, a trading port area where foreign businessmen and immigrants gather, has a resident population of only 4000 to [-], which is far inferior to Haihan's progress and achievements in urban construction.
In Haihan’s view, the Spaniard’s use of Manila Bay and its surrounding areas was nothing short of reckless. The plain north of the Pasig River was a famous grain-producing area in later generations, and the Spaniards lacked long-term plans for the development of these areas. Let the immigrants operate on their own, and there are very few operating models similar to Haihan plantations or collective farms.If the Ministry of Agriculture formulates a development plan in Haihan's model, then several decades will be enough to reclaim hundreds of square kilometers of farmland locally.
According to Haihan's vision, the Manila area can completely follow the example of Sanya, Kaohsiung, Shipu and other places, and build a bay trade area here relying on natural harbors.As long as the agricultural development in the nearby area can keep up with the speed of urban development and supply enough agricultural products to feed the urban population, Manila Bay will become a large colonial area inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people after a period of time.
If Manila Bay is the center, Haihan's maritime influence can not only cover the entire Philippine Islands, but also connect the Dinghai Port in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, the Kaohsiung Port in Taiwan, and the Manila Port in Luzon, a sea route that runs through the north and south. In the next step, Han will expand its maritime territory to Kalimantan Island in the south, Banda Sea, Timor Sea, Solomon Sea and other sea areas in preparation.
Such a long-term plan is difficult for even a maritime power like Spain to emulate, because it must be based on mastering accurate charts, and for navigators of this era, there are too many things to do in the boundless sea. It often takes years or even generations to explore a sea area.But for Haihan navigators, mastering the sea chart is equivalent to taking a big advantage in playing chess, and the time it takes to explore unfamiliar sea areas is much shorter than that of their counterparts in this era.
Of course, the plan on paper needs to be implemented, and the work that needs to be done is still extremely complicated. It is necessary to carry out a Haihan-style transformation of the development process of Manila Bay, and the management personnel to be invested here involve many fields. At least hundreds of people were transferred from Hainan Island and other ruled areas.And this mobilization work may not be much easier than the large-scale mobilization when the military prepared for this operation.
Until the executive committee formally appoints a new chief executive, the military will take over the management of the area.For this reason, the combat command also changed its shape on the fifth day after the war and became the "Manila Area Temporary Management Committee".
Although most of the local civil and military officials headed by Aragones have been arrested, Haihan can't guarantee that the local people's sentiments will not be repeated again. After all, the Spaniards have ruled here for decades. For the local people The Haihan army is the undoubted aggressor, and there may be some people who have the intention of resisting by force.Therefore, although the Temporary Management Committee has publicly announced that the war has come to an end, it still enforces a strict curfew in Manila to prevent people from secretly colluding to cause trouble.
In addition to maintaining local law and order, the Temporary Management Committee also has an extremely important task to deal with local residents in different categories.The people living in Manila and its surrounding areas are mainly divided into three categories, one is Spanish immigrants who came here from Europe and their descendants, the other is local aborigines and immigrants who naturalized and accepted Spanish rule, and the third is foreign businessmen and their families entourage.
From the perspective of Haihan’s maintenance of rule, the proportion of the third type of people is not large, and the degree of danger is relatively small. After identifying their identities and confirming that their positions are inclined to the new ruler, or at least remain neutral, their freedom can be restored , It is not a problem to choose whether to stay or stay.
The second type of people is relatively complicated, but as long as they are willing to stay and naturalize the new ruler, Haihan can accept them all.As for those who want to leave, according to Haihan's usual handling method, they will naturally have to pay a fee to regain their freedom, which is the so-called "travel money".
In the first category, almost all of them were detained, regardless of whether they had used force to resist Haihan or not.In Haihan's view, these Spanish immigrants have the highest willingness to resist, and they must be controlled until all these people are expelled from the country.Moreover, those prominent, powerful local officials, wealthy businessmen and other big figures need to pay a valuable ransom fee in order to regain their freedom.For example, the ransom fee chosen by Governor Aragones is to cooperate with the Haihan Army and reveal all the Spanish rule measures and public sentiment data he knows. This price is not small.
No matter which category they belong to, there are still quite a few people who voluntarily stay in Manila for various reasons, and even some genuine Spanish immigrants do not want to leave because of this war because they have been living here, and would rather give up their own. Spanish nationality also remains.Of course, for these Spaniards who were born and raised here, the "motherland" on the other side of the earth really does not have any sense of belonging at all, but it is just an identity with limited development.In their view, changing nationality is not a big treasonous move, not to mention that the new ruler seems to be much stronger than the Spanish colonial government. Perhaps holding on to this thigh is the beginning of a better life in the future.
But in Haihan's view, there is still a kind of scruple that "people who are not of our race will have different hearts", and they are not so relieved about these Westerners. It is just how to settle these people and how to determine their social status in the future. These are all problems that need to be solved slowly by the civil affairs department.
It is undoubtedly a very arduous task to conduct statistics and surveys on the tens of thousands of permanent residents in the entire Manila area. We can only perform corresponding operations on the immigrants who have been classified and confirmed their processing methods while counting.However, due to the serious shortage of manpower involved in the preliminary investigation and statistics work, the registration information is often not detailed, so the military's operations on these immigrants appear to be simple and rough, and there are many problems during the period.
But the Haihan Executive Committee is not turning a blind eye to the problems faced by the Manila area. Of course, Tao Donglai and others know that entrusting the local area to the military can only be an emergency, not a long-term solution. Experienced officials must be hired as soon as possible. Go to the place and take over the local civil affairs.What's more, most of the troops going out to the local area are the trump cards of the Haihan army. After the war is over, they need to return to their respective stations as soon as possible. Civil and military officials are appointed in the new territory here.
To manage a newly occupied area like Manila, officials must have certain experience in local governance, and must be familiar with the geography and culture of the South China Sea, and be able to quickly adapt to the local environment.After some internal screening, the executive committee selected the chief executive for Manila was Qiu Yuan, the former head of the Haikou area.His performance in Haikou is obvious to all. After the executive committee communicated with him, Qiu Yuan also hoped to have a bigger development platform to display his political ambitions, so he basically finalized the matter.
The seat vacated by Qiu Yuan was taken over by Maliko, who was originally in charge of political and commercial affairs in Guangdong.Mariko was the first batch of officials from Haihan to be dispatched to the Daming ruled area. He was transferred from the Cliff Office to the Guangzhou Office, and his work performance in the past few years was also excellent.However, it is precisely because of this that he has been in charge of dealing with the local government in the Guangdong area, and has not really obtained a position as a local official to allow him to demonstrate his governance ability.At the same time, Qiu Yuan, who was transferred to the Cliff Office at the same time, has already taken over the new ruling area with more room for development.
The military attache sent to partner with Qiu Yuan was also transferred back from Guangdong. He was originally in charge of security in the Guangzhou Office, but now he is Xiao Liang, the representative of Haihan's military attache in Guangzhou.The reason why he was chosen as Qiu Yuan's partner was mainly because Xiao Liang presided over the personnel selection and training of the Golden Shield Escort during his stay in Guangdong, and some special tasks assigned by the executive committee to the Golden Shield Escort were also carried out by Xiao Liang. Arrangements were made, and during the period, they did a lot of work to suppress bandits in Daming territory.These work experiences have given Xiao Liang a wealth of practical experience in the field of security warfare, which is just right for dealing with the current security situation in Manila.
This pair of partners actually returned to Sanya to rendezvous before the departure of the Haihan Expeditionary Force, but because there were many matters that required their control to be prepared and sorted out before the battle, the two did not accompany the expeditionary fleet. Instead, he stayed in Sanya to study the information at hand and formulate future governance plans.It wasn't until the Haihan army broke through the city of Manila that the front-line headquarters confirmed that there would be no major relapses in the battle situation, and Sanya sent a ship to send them and more than 40 officials and professionals transferred from various departments to Manila.
It was already a week after the end of the war that Qiu Yuan, Xiao Liang and his party arrived at Manila Port. Their arrival was undoubtedly a great boon for the generals who were still stationed here.Handling all kinds of local civil affairs these days has already exhausted the military generals, and now they only need to hand over the work to the new team, and they can slap their ass and leave.
The South China Sea Special Operations Brigade will return directly to the Xingdao station and continue to guard the control of the Malacca Strait waterway for the Haihan Kingdom.Roger couldn't stay any longer, and he wished he could leave the camp immediately and return to his own territory.
The cavalry battalion led by Harukon is going back to the north. Only on the wide plains can the cavalry have a real use. Moreover, Harukon believes that the best way to train the cavalry is to fight another cavalry.At present, the only opponent who can meet his needs is Houjin who is far away in Liaodong.
Wang Tom's naval fleet will be divided into several groups, and each will return to its original station.As for the marines, Wang Tom still planned to let them go back north with the cavalry battalion, and then go to the front line to receive some actual combat training.
The special warfare battalion, the trump card of the Haihan Army, is probably a bit more special. They will return to Sanya and enjoy a short vacation.During the period, the executive committee may conduct a private review of this elite team that has made great achievements repeatedly, and then rewards for meritorious deeds. A large number of officers, including Gao Qiaonan, will receive corresponding rewards.The promotion of the special warfare battalion to an independent regiment was announced around this time.
As for the future, the Ministry of National Defense has not yet made a definite statement, but if it is according to Qian Tiandun's wishes, he does not want the special warfare battalion to continue to return to the northern front to fight against Houjin.This is because most of the soldiers of the special warfare battalion come from the south, and fighting in the Liaodong Peninsula will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, and the local environment is indeed such that the tropical zone tactics that the special warfare battalion has worked so hard to practice cannot be deployed at all. In order to use it, he can only rely on his tactical literacy and weapon advantages to stand up to it. This is not a scene that Qian Tiandun is happy to see.
He has reported this matter to the Ministry of National Defense and the Executive Committee many times, and this time when he returned to the South China Sea to fight, the combat effectiveness and mental outlook shown by the Special Warfare Battalion fully proved his opinion. The use arrangement should also take this factor into consideration.
