Chapter 2947
For the Bangui Camp, since the magistrate of the Spanish colonial authorities had been captured, the rest of the matter was much easier to deal with.
In order to save the lives of his family, Vargas signed the surrender document overnight, announcing on behalf of the Spanish colonial authorities that Masbate Island will be taken over by the Haihan Army from now on. The people on the island should give up all resistance and accept and cooperate with the Haihan Army. Arrangements can preserve life and property.
After Vargas signed and stamped the document, the document was immediately sent to various nearby temporary settlements where the people on the island were collected, and read by a Spanish translator to dispel the illusions that some people still had in their minds.
Of course, the document signed by Vargas is only a unilateral expression of Haihan's wishes, and it is unlikely to be recognized by Spain afterwards.However, such details do not hinder the overall situation, because Haihan's goal is far more than that, and Masbate Island is just a springboard in the Luzon Region's southern expedition plan.
Even if Haihan and Spain are to negotiate an armistice in the future, the demarcation line between the two parties' spheres of influence will never be located near Masbate Island.
The team led by Zheng Agui captured the Spanish magistrate from the hidden cellar, which is naturally a great achievement.The battalion commander's appreciation was not limited to words, he even arranged for them to suspend the search mission and return to the station early to rest.They will all be temporarily on leave until Camp Bangui receives a new assignment.
Of course, this holiday should not be too long.According to the pre-war deployment, the Bangui Battalion's operation time limit on Masbate Island is only 48 hours, and perhaps one day later, it will receive an order from the headquarters to rush to the next operation location.
Zheng Agui and the others started fighting from noon until midnight, and took a short rest during dinner. They were indeed physically and mentally exhausted, and it was time to lie down and rest.
The Bangui camp has been almost in a state of combat since it landed, and of course there is no manpower to build the camp, so at present, only a number of houses in the town have been requisitioned as temporary residences for the various companies.
The company where Zheng Agui and others are located is the church in the town, which is also one of the few decent-looking buildings in the local area. The steeple and glass windows outside the church are very typical Spanish style, which is very similar to the dilapidated and simple houses next to it. In comparison, it looks even more gorgeous.
However, perhaps limited by the local economic level, more than half of the church's construction cost was spent on the decoration of the facade, and the interior inevitably looked a bit sloppy.
There are no beautiful painted murals and complicated chandeliers in the church. There are seven or eight rows of benches on the floor, which are put together two by two and used as simple camp beds.There is a small altar at the innermost end of the church, and a wooden cross about one person's height hangs on the wall behind the altar, which is almost all the furnishings.
Zheng Agui and others put down their belongings, did not lie down to rest immediately, and turned back out of the church.What attracts them is not the fresh air outside, but the broth that is simmering on the marching stove set up at the door of the church.
At present, the situation in Masbate Town has basically calmed down, and the logistics department has also arranged for people to cook hot food in various temporary camps, so that the soldiers who have been rotated can fill their stomachs before resting.
"Spicy broth!" Zheng Agui stirred the large spoon in the pot a few times, and praised: "So much meat is put in! I said, Lao Li, I don't see so much dry meat in stewed meat soup. You cook Ban has spent a lot of money today!"
The cook, Old Li, replied nonchalantly: "The ingredients are all requisitioned locally, anyway, they are free, so they are not in vain! Two whole pork legs were chopped into this pot of broth, which is enough for you guys to eat for a while." Stop it!"
Zheng Agui said: "It seems that your cooking team is not idle! We arrest people, you catch pigs! By the way, you requisition the ingredients on the spot, will the superiors not care about this?"
Lao Li took the big spoon from Zheng Agui, knocked on the pot and said, "Don't worry, why don't you! But this is an order from the battalion, let the cooking team use local materials, and make hot food supply troops as soon as possible, we obey orders That's all. Boys, don't be dazed, take the bowl yourself!"
Lao Li is an old man in the army, so no one questioned what he said, everyone hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks from the side, and lined up to get the food.
According to the military regulations of the Haihan Army, corresponding procedures must be followed to requisition private property from the local area during wartime, so as to prevent someone from plundering privately under the pretext of requisitioning.
However, this Masbate town has nothing to do with wealth and wealth. The livestock and poultry raised by the local residents are naturally not considered valuable property in the eyes of the Haihan army.
As for whether the subject will report this kind of incident to the government after the local government is formally included in Haihan's rule, this is not something that Bangui Camp needs to worry about. Naturally, there will be a government office like the Hispanic Administration to deal with it.
After drinking a large bowl of hot broth, everyone filled their stomachs and went to the church to sleep as soon as possible.
Since the departure from Manila, they have been floating in the sea for the first few nights. It is indeed difficult for an army unit like Bangui Battalion who seldom goes to sea to sleep soundly.Although the pews in the church were hard and cold, they couldn't stop the drowsiness that swept over him, and he started snoring after a while.
Everyone slept until noon the next day, but there was still no one in the church.Zheng Agui went to ask Lao Li, who had been napping all night, and found out that they had rotated several groups of people to rest here during their sleep. After dawn, they went to the nearby assembly point to gather local residents in batches to assist in the registration of personnel information.And because their class was granted a holiday by the battalion commander, they were allowed to sleep until they were full.
When everyone was having lunch, they saw that local residents had been released one after another, and the registration process should have been smooth.
How to implement rule after occupying a place, the Haihan Army already has considerable operational experience in similar matters.First of all, it is necessary to register and compile information such as local residents and land to ensure that the official grasps the basic situation of the local area.
Haihan will compile a new household registration for the residents of Masbate Town, and restrict their behavior in accordance with the "Regulations on the Administration of Naturalized Citizens", allowing them to gradually adapt to Haihan's social system.
People who are willing to cooperate with these measures can generally slowly integrate into the new environment after a few years. Many Hispanic naturalized people in Luzon Island have even learned Chinese and Chinese characters, and the education received by their next generation tends to be more similar to overseas Chinese. Sinicization.
For example, among the troops on this expedition, there are also young Hispanic soldiers. The object of their allegiance is no longer the distant and unfamiliar Kingdom of Spain, but the extremely wise Haihan Executive Committee.
Of course, not all Spanish immigrants can adapt to the new ruler, and even rebel in the process, but the ending is often not very good.In the past ten years, thousands of people who cannot adapt to environmental changes have been sent to mines, quarries and logging camps all over Luzon Island, where they spent the rest of their lives in endless hard physical labor. .
