C3436 A different rule! (1/2)

Three hundred years of tree branches and leaves were enough to give birth to a few thousand people from a small tribe with a hundred people and a huge family with sixteen branches. They controlled countless rice fields, workshops, rubber forests and spice factories in Luzon.

Relying on the protection of the Spaniard, they plundered and even brazenly robbed, taking the wealth of other tribes, including the Chinese, into their own hands.

In order to protect their property and for fear of the vengeance of the injured, these people had organized their own troops. They had even sent their descendants to serve in the colonial army.

It could be said that in the Luzon, the Spaniard controlled the city and sea trade. However, the vast rural lands belonged to these Earth Emperors.

This situation did not abate even after the Second World War of the 21st century. The local government in the Philippines had never been able to descend into the countryside, and many of the mountainous areas far away from the capital were basically in a state of split.

The local tyrants were maintaining their army in the jungle, fighting guerrilla warfare with the government forces. Both sides were on the verge of being separated from each other.

Neither the Spanish colonists nor the later American occupation forces had solved the problem, not because they were incompetent, but because they did not need to.

The vast countryside was actually not one of Spaniard's and Americans's core interests at all. They were happy to throw out these bones with a little meat to let the vicious dogs fight over them.

As long as the colonists controlled the nodes of the commercial road, the cities and the ports, they would be able to firmly control the economic lifeline of the entire Philippines.

Since goods always had to be brought together through a higher sales channel, the colonists could easily make money by controlling these nodes.

As for how dark the local countryside was being, how helpless was it? How miserable were the citizens … On the contrary, they would encourage these local bullies to control the population.

They were just vicious dogs raised by bandits, which were just to maintain the order of the sheep. With these vicious dogs present, wouldn't life in Master Yang be much easier?!

This was the essence of pirate civilization, with plundering as the core, and business as a type of escalating plunder!

They had no interest in building it. It wasn't just the roads, the dams, the schools, the hospitals... And so on and so forth, the visible Infrastructure.

Similarly, they had no interest in establishing basic political power in the colonies at the village level!

As long as these colonists could get the money, then there would be no difference in who ruled over the small towns and villages.

The grassroots government could be given to those local tyrants and powerhouses. Whoever had the gun and was obedient could become the local tyrant!

In any case, no matter how bad your fight is, it has nothing to do with me.

This was the essence of Western colonization, but Chinese colonization would never take this route!

The first important task for these powerful men to settle their debts was to seek revenge. They must avenge their three hundred years of blood grudges! The second important task was to infiltrate the village with Chinese rule!

Killing all the strong and powerful people would allow the Chinese officials to carry out the order safely. If the Chinese wanted to build a large scale Infrastructure for the Luzon, then they had to first build an administrative system that could infiltrate into the village.

It could be said that the European colonists couldn't do it, and neither could the Qing Government. Even the last line of administration in the Great Qing was a county magistrate!

The vast space under the County Magistrate's command was actually empty. It was controlled by a large family formed from Confucianism!

Who would dare to hope that a government could give power to every village? At present, only European countries have such administrative mobilization capability!
