Chapter 59 Unification of Mindanao
Maimati had died on the battlefield a few days ago. When the news reached Kotabato City, people suddenly became panic.
Sultan Aimer sat on his chair, looking empty at the front. There were only a few guards in the hall still insisting, and all the ministers and princes and nobles disappeared without a trace in the court where they usually discuss matters.
These people usually shouted and fought and killed in the court, and kept boasting about how powerful the Baqiao Sultanate was, just like they were really a magical power to protect their bodies. They could use their mouth guns to disintegrate the offensive of Taohuayuan Company.
But now these people seem to have evaporated from the world, disappearing into the air, leaving only Sultan Aimer, sitting here waiting for an unknown fate.
The Chinese army outside had surrounded the city of Cotabato and broke through the urgently reinforced wall within an hour, and then rushed into the city.
The city of Cotabato was a disrepaired city wall. After a big hole was blown up by powerful mortars, the army of four divisions rushed in like a tide. In addition to the palace city, Tieniu ordered the lifting of military discipline for five days and the sword could be sealed after five days.
The Taohuayuan army has a strong military discipline. Now that the military discipline is lifted, it is equivalent to lifting the wolf dog chain. These people in the city are all flesh and bones in the eyes of the wolf dog.
Sure enough, the whole city quickly became a hell on earth. Because of Zhu Haitao's vigorous propaganda and the hatred accumulated in the battle, the entire city of Cotabato became the target of Chinese soldiers' desire relief. There are all kinds of bad things, but in the eyes of Tie Niu and others, this is the best reward for the soldiers under his command.
After the five-day sword seal order was issued, various events in the city gradually became rare, and the entire palace city was surrounded and it was incomplete.
Tienniu asked a captured minister to send a letter to Emer in the palace, saying that as long as he hand over the treasures in the treasury and announced his surrender on behalf of the Sultanate of Baggio, he would spare his life and his family.
Hearing the minister's voice in tears, Emer sighed and said, "It seems that I am really the main thing to perish!"
After saying that, he took out the poison he had prepared long ago, opened the lid, and took it for himself.
On that day, Sultan Aimer of the Sultanate of Bacho committed suicide by taking poison. Then Tieniu ordered everyone in the palace to be arrested as slaves, and the more beautiful palace maids were used as wives and concubines of the soldiers.
The Sultanate of Baggio, which had been established for hundreds of years, perished.
However, the work of finding the treasury of the Bacho Sultanate continued for several days. It was not until Tien Niu and others became impatient and began to torture those who knew the clues. Then they used both soft and hard work, and finally found the treasure that the Bacho Sultanate had treasured for hundreds of years.
These treasures are roughly calculated to include fourteen tons of gold, twenty-one tons of silver, and of course countless jade, coral, agate, etc.
A few days ago, Li Jifa sent a report saying that a total of four tons of gold, three tons of silver, and many jade were collected in the treasury of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultanate of the Sultan
With the five tons of gold that I had to come from Holo City, Zhu Haitao now has a total of 36 tons of gold and 31 tons of silver in his hands.
He did not intend to distribute these precious metals to the soldiers as trophys. He planned to turn them all into reserves for the soon-to-be-established Ming Bank.
The reason why he named it the Ming Bank was because Zhu Haitao was about to be king, and the country he established was called Daming, which showed his willingness to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
There are many types of currencies used in the Nanyang region, but most of them are Dutch gusts minted by the Dutch East India Company, and a small number are Eagle Ocean minted by Spain.
Monetary sovereignty is very important in later generations, and it is the same in this world. The Ming Bank that Zhu Haitao planned to establish is similar to the central banks of various countries in later generations. It does not carry out direct savings work, but is an important tool for state intervention and regulation of national economic development. It is responsible for formulating and implementing national monetary credit policies, having unique currency issuance rights, and also conducting financial supervision.
However, at the beginning of its establishment, the Ming Bank still had to assume the functions of commercial banks such as deposit absorption. Only when the development of other banks reached a certain level can the Ming Bank be allowed to gradually divest these businesses and restore its original functions.
In the following days, Zhu Haitao handled a lot of things in Zamboanga and made a lot of preparations for the next kingship.
The first thing is to deal with the aftermath of these sultan countries. Some nobles escaped from these sultan countries. They were unwilling to fail and incited the Moro rebellion in some remote areas, but these were all extinct. Under the strict policy of returning to villages and villages, the territory that the Moroes could control was getting smaller and smaller, and it is estimated that within one year of this year, they could get all the land in their hands.
The seized gold and silver were also transported back to Fengtian Prefecture. Since the road has not been repaired yet, it can only be transported by sea. Although it is faster, it will take a certain amount of time.
It is also very important to open up the road connection on Mindanao. Zhu Haitao has ordered the arrested Moroes and native slaves to build roads and prepare to connect important cities on Mindanao such as Dipolo City, Cotabato City, Zamboanga City, Kiamba City, Molo City, Fengtian Prefecture, etc.
He also changed the name of these Moro cities. Dipolo City was renamed Cangshui City, Kotabato City was renamed Daming City, Sanbaoyan was renamed Sanbao City, Kiamba City was renamed Zheng Wang City, and Moro City was renamed Yangming City, all of which were changed according to famous figures in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Zhu Haitao planned a series of companies, and he asked Gonzalovich to send people to South America to find rubber trees. He planned to develop vulcanized rubber and promote rubber planting in the Nanyang region.
Historically, the Chinese in Southeast Asia made a fortune because of rubber. Now rubber can only be used to wipe pencil handwriting. The inherent disadvantages of natural rubber limit their use, and vulcanized rubber can overcome this disadvantage.
He also asked the Qian family to send people to the mainland to find Coptis chinensis. This drug can extract a broad-spectrum antibiotic, berberine, which can inhibit the development of many bacteria and even treat the disease of tuberculosis.
Of course, its effect is not as good as antibiotics such as penicillin and streptomycin, but its effect is wide and it is the world's first antibiotic, and it will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
After doing this, he led the warship back to Fengtian Mansion.
The battle to attack Mindanao lasted for more than two months, killing more than 50,000 people, capturing more than 100,000 people, destroying the Giant Eye Tribe Alliance and the three Sultanate countries entrenched on Mindanao. The entire territory controlled by the Taohuayuan Company was expanded to the entire Mindanao.
