On November 15, 1781, a group of officials from the Ming Dynasty's domestic cabinet arrived at Chengtian Prefecture after finishing the Fengtian Prefecture. From now on, the ruling center of the Ming Dynasty has truly moved to the Luzon Islands. At present, the most important industrial bases of the Ming Dynasty are all concentrated near Fengtian Prefecture. Before Chengtian Prefecture was truly built, the status of Fengtian Prefecture could not be replaced.

In the conference room of the new palace, Zhu Haitao once again summoned a group of officials in the cabinet and held a meeting of the imperial front. The focus of this meeting was to study how the Ming Dynasty would develop next. After defeating the Spaniards, the Ming Dynasty had completely gained the rule of Luzon. Now, including the First Division, the Second Division, the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division, the Sixth Division and the Royal Guard Division, all began to operate on other islands in the Luzon Islands, arresting the natives or fleeing Spaniards there, turning them into free labor force of the Ming Dynasty, opening roads, docks and mines, and contributing to the industrial strength of the Ming Dynasty.

"Everyone! This operation has achieved complete success! This is achieved through the coordination and efforts of everyone here and the heroic battle of the Royal Army and Navy! Now we are no longer a small character that everyone looks down upon! We now have the opportunity to win the dominance of the entire Nanyang!" Zhu Haitao said excitedly. After capturing the Luzon Islands, the strength of the Ming Dynasty increased, and it has the strength to win the entire Nanyang.

The faces of the senior military and political officials who attended the meeting were full of excitement. In just over a year, Daming was able to reach this point, which surprised them very much. Especially those who came from the Taohuayuan Company who had been a pirate for life, this is even more so. In their eyes, Zhu Haitao had created a miracle on earth! They had never believed in Zhu Haitao's promise to them, but the facts proved that Zhu Haitao had exceeded the goal he had said!

"Our Ming Dynasty has risen! This means that the entire Nanyang Chinese will be out of the sea of ​​suffering! Now, in addition to the Luzon Islands, there are at least 2.5 million Chinese. These Chinese, except for those who have established independent countries, live in dire straits! We have the obligation to unite all the Chinese in the Nanyang region by our side! Only in this way can we turn the entire Nanyang into a paradise for Chinese people!" Zhu Haitao said excitedly. The Ming Kingdom, when it comes back this time, will surely become the leader of Chinese people all over the world, and the rise of the Chinese nation is no longer hindered!

It is unquestionable that the Ming Dynasty has become the leader of Chinese in the Nanyang region. In terms of population alone, the Ming Dynasty has reached nearly 400,000 people, although it is still less than the 700,000 people in Lanfang Kingdom, but in terms of land area and military strength, the Ming Dynasty is many times stronger than the Lanfang Kingdom.

"Although we have defeated the Spaniards now, we cannot be proud and complacent! After all, Spain is still one of the best empires in the world, and they will definitely not give up! According to intelligence analysis, the Mexican reinforcements requested by Conde will arrive in August or September next year! At that time, we will face the full revenge of the Spaniards, and at the same time, their reinforcements will likely come from the local area! At that time, we may encounter the attack from the Spaniards on both sides! Only by completely defeating the Spanish counterattack can we completely win and our rule be more stable!" Zhu Haitao said excitedly.

Only by defeating the Spanish counterattack can the Ming Dynasty completely get rid of danger and also make the European powers face up to the strength of the Ming Dynasty. However, if defeated, everything about the Ming Dynasty will be meaningless.

"Your Majesty, these Spaniards are vulnerable at all! No matter how many times he comes, we just need to go all the way. We will definitely beat them up again!" Chief of the General Staff Li Jifa said indifferently. In this battle to conquer Manila, he understood the combat effectiveness of the Spaniards. The Spanish, who imagined to be vicious, was so vulnerable. Therefore, the Ming army from him went down even more disregarded the Spanish.

"The army now has nine divisions in total, three shore defense heavy artillery brigades, with a total force of about 78,000. Next, the army needs to deploy two shore defense heavy artillery brigades in Chengtian Prefecture to protect the safety of Chengtian Prefecture. The army will also expand to ten divisions, so I think it's enough." Zhu Haitao said.

According to his arrangement, the total strength of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty would exceed 89,000. It should be enough to defend his current territory. In addition, these troops would further attack other areas of the South China Sea. No matter the Sultanate, the Dutch, or even the countries on the Indochina Peninsula, they could not compete with such powerful military power. In addition, the Ming Dynasty's weapon performance advantages beyond the times, sweeping across the entire South China Sea is no longer a problem. It is just that if the steps are too big, it will cause the unstable Ming Dynasty to fall apart in an instant. Judging from the country's foundation and comprehensive national strength, the Ming Kingdom cannot compare with the Western powers.

"Your Majesty, we have recruited nine divisions on Borneo and Mindanao. Are you a little too few of these expanded? The Chinese on Luzon alone have exceeded 250,000, and they are not considered Chinese on other islands." Li Jifa suggested at this time. In his opinion, the number of troops is of course the better.

"These troops are enough! Although our number has expanded greatly again, don't forget that the indigenous people on Luzon alone have at least three million! If we want to enslave these indigenous people, we must maintain enough male tyranny to become successful! Otherwise, if these indigenous people riot, we will be attacked from both sides!" Zhu Haitao said. These slaves have been enslaved by inhumane people and must have a deep hatred for the Chinese. If they are given power, they will be done.

Li Jifa nodded and stopped talking.

"The Navy now has the first and second fleets, which are used to guard the left and right sides of the Luzon Islands! In addition, I think we should still establish the third fleet to serve as a reserve, and also explore the south. Before the Spanish counterattack, our three fleets will be formed! At that time, we will be able to compete with these huge Spanish fleets at sea!" Zhu Haitao said.

According to the personnel interrogating the Governor's Office, Zhu Haitao learned that Spain's navy was very strong at this time. The total number of first-class warships deployed in Manila was about fifty-five in the country, and there were eighty second-class warships. Faced with such a powerful enemy, Zhu Haitao must be prepared for military purposes.
