Chapter 830
After Zheng Sen landed in Luzon, he surrounded the Spanish bastion.
This bastion was indeed difficult to attack before it was heavy artillery. The Luzon army attacked several times, but it was seriously injured but it was not defeated.
At this time, the Chinese army had already landed on the island for as many as 30,000 to 40,000, but the bastion could not be taken down with a large number of people.
The war is in a stalemate, people die of illness every day, and food is almost consumed.
Seeing that Zheng Sen could not break through the bastion in a short period of time, he could only carry out long-term combat plans. While he was digging trenches and trapping the bastion to death, he organized soldiers from Luzon to farm on the island, preparing to fight the Spanish to the death.
At this time, the materials on Luzon Island were in short supply, and they all had to rely on merchant ships to replenish them. In order to reduce consumption, Zheng Sen decided to ask Huang Fei to bring three warships and nearly a thousand Western barbarian prisoners to return to Jinling to offer prisoners to Gao Huan.
After Huang Fei led the fleet to Shanghai, he handed the prisoners to the court, and he went to Nanjing to pay homage to Gao Huan.
After the soldiers of the Gan Army took these Western barbarians off the ship, in order to facilitate management and avoid accidents, they were detained in labor camps in various places.
Eldo was locked in Songjiang Mansion nearby. All his personal belongings were confiscated. He changed into a vest and straw sandals. After a physical examination, he entered the second door and never intersected with Freedom again.
In the Ganchao, the labor camp is undoubtedly a fearful place. Dozens of people are crowded in a room, and newcomers can only sleep next to the toilet. They eat very poorly, and there is no drop of oil in the vegetables. They will be beaten when they encounter bullies.
However, Aldo was aware of this and wanted to get preferential treatment.
Therefore, when he walked into the cell, he was immediately shocked and saw more than a dozen big men sitting up from the bed and looking at him with bad eyes.
These people are all fierce and evil spirits. At first glance, they are violent criminals. However, there is a man sitting inside, who is pure and gentle, with kind eyes and kind eyes.
Hou Fangyu was sentenced to lifelessness. He originally thought that the new emperor would ascend the throne and could be amnesty for the whole world, but after Gao Huan ascends the throne, he did not make any amnesty at all, so he could only stay in the labor camp.
Now that the Hou family is over, his father Hou Xun was killed by Gao Huan, the tribesmen outside had already scattered, and it was boring that he went out, so he regarded the labor camp as his home.
There is no need to worry about food or drinking here. Except for not being free, easy to get beaten, and encountering perverts, everything else is good.
At first, Hou Fangyu was often bullied, but Hou Fangyu was smart after all. In addition, he was the oldest in prison, understood the rules in the labor camp, and understood the various sentence reduction policies of the dynasty. So now he is getting better and better, and he no longer has to fall in love with the night.
In the past two years, after he was transferred to Songshan Institute, he used his experience to help a prison bully get out of prison early. Soon he became a prison bully, and someone had done the dirty and tiring work for him.
At this time, Hou Fangyu looked at Eldo who was coming, and his eyebrows raised, his eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, a red-haired man would come in the labor camp.
"This red-haired ghost is too dirty, take him to take a shower." Hou Fangyu smiled strangely, his mind was completely distorted.
Several strong men hurriedly surrounded him, and Eldo felt a frightened heart, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. However, facing many men, he had no choice but to follow them into the bathroom, just treating it as the care of his inmates, so he took off and washed up.
At this moment, he accidentally fell to the ground, and Aldo bent down to pick it up, but was shocked to find several legs standing behind him.

The Ganchao official and civil meeting is scheduled to be held in March.
At this time, it was still early, but representatives from all over the country had arrived in Nanjing one after another.
These representatives came to participate in the meeting, and the fees for cars, accommodation and daily expenses were all reimbursed by the imperial court.
Of course, in order to prevent waste and corruption, accommodation and food have strict standards, so they will not eat too badly, but they will not be too good. If you really eat too much, you have to pay out of your own pocket.
At this time, representatives from various provinces arrived. The inns in the city were empty. The Ministry of Rites booked several inns in Nanjing for the representatives to live in.
Shi Kai is now well developed. After the last incident, he did not join the Guoan Department, but started a business.
Because he had a good relationship with Zhao Ming, the Dianshi of Yingtian Prefecture, and those who were in the inner roads of Nanjing knew that he had brought down the Tan brothers, he thought he had a backer, so he didn't dare to cause trouble for him.
Some small officials in the government also thought that he had a background and would not make things difficult for him, and even took more care of him.
This made his business smooth. In the past two years, he has taken over several projects, and the team has gone from more than ten to more than a thousand. He has become a representative of Shangyuan County and has already settled in Jinling.
He built the Stone City Hotel, but the people living there were representatives from various provinces. Representatives from counties like him were not qualified to participate in the conference, but the representatives from the government voted for him.
In the palace, Gao Huan sat in the study and learned about the preparatory preparations for the conference from the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
"Report to Your Majesty, representatives from all provinces have arrived one after another." Gao Hongtu said.
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Can the inn be placed?"
This was the first official and civil congress of Gao Huan after he became emperor, and it was also a political experiment carried out by the Chan Dynasty. Gao Huan attached great importance to it.
"The inn is full, but the Ministry of Rites has rented many inns in the city, and the state-owned Stone City Hotel is also used as a resettlement site, which should be enough." Gao Hongtu replied.
Gao Huan said seriously: "Don't be right. You must ensure their food and accommodation and allow them to rest well in order to give the court a reasonable opinion."
Gao Hongtu couldn't help but salute, "Your Majesty is so kind, and he is so kind to them. I must make arrangements!"
In the past, in order to prevent the public from giving suggestions, the government set up many obstacles, and was afraid that the people would sue the complaints to the capital.
In history, when people sued officials, the people would beat the board first regardless of winning or losing. However, now Gao Huan invites the people to come to the capital to give advice, which can be said to be a major change.
The people are very supportive of this, but the officials who are in charge of the court are not happy.
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Okay! Go and do it!"
Gao Hongtu retreated, and Huang Fei, who was waiting outside, stood up.
"Governor Huang, you can go in!" the female official saluted.
Huang Fei then walked through the hollow partition and entered the inner Tang Dynasty, saluting Gao Huan and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Gao Huan put down his brush and smiled like a father on his face, "You are back, how are the battles going on?"
Huang Fei bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Navy defeated the West-Holland fleet, and the Luzon army has already landed on the island, but the Western barbarians trapped the bastion, and the Luzon army has not yet broken the fort."
After hearing this, Gao Huan was overjoyed and said, "Okay! The West-Holland fleet was defeated. Within a few years, there will be no worries in the southeast and no worries in the sea trade!"
Zheng Sen defeated the West-Holland fleet and China would become the maritime overlord in East and Southeast Asia, so Gao Huan could concentrate on attacking Li Jiyu and Zhang Xianzhong.
Huang Fei said: "Your Majesty, I will take back a thousand prisoners and two Spanish warships this time. What should I do with your Majesty?"
Gao Huan did not hesitate when he heard the words, "The warship was sent to the Longjiang Shipyard, and let the craftsmen see what the difference is compared to the Dutch ship. As for..."
Gao Huan paused and said in a deep voice: "As for the Spanish prisoners, they were taken to the capital for a prisoner offering ceremony. All the culprits were executed by lingchi!"
