Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 734 What's the matter?
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was furious, killed people, and then came to tell you. This was a naked showoff and a slap in the face!
But the so-called do not hit smiling faces, and Lu Xiang has been promoted to a civil servant, and his self-cultivation is not bad, he tried his best to suppress his anger, stared at him, and said coldly: "Speak!"

Filot could feel that the Earl of the Ming Kingdom was very angry, and his attitude became more respectful, and he quickly reported: "Dear Lord Earl, a few days ago we discovered that the Ming people under our rule had colluded with local pirates, After interrogation, it was learned that they colluded together and tried to rebel. For such rebels, they are as unforgiving as the laws of your country. However, we admire your country, so we came here to inform you to avoid unnecessary Misunderstand!"

The word "rebellion" was an absolute taboo in ancient times and was not allowed by any official.

However, for Lu Xiangsheng, he had suppressed rebels, recruited rebels, even brought rebels to fight against Jian captives, and lived and died together.Therefore, for the so-called "rebels", he will not kill them with a stick.

At this time, after hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and still shouted in a cold voice: "Why did the Ming people in Lu Song collude with pirates to rebel? What is the reason? Is there any evidence?"

This time, it was Philot's turn to be stunned.Because once before, as long as you said that, Ming officials said that it was so, no wonder you would do this.

After regaining his senses, Filot hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket, handed it over with both hands respectfully, and said at the same time: "Honorable Earl, this is a letter from our Spanish Governor in Luzon. Your signature and seal."

Seeing him like this, his own guards stepped forward and passed the letter to the translator next to Lu Xiangsheng, who then whispered the contents of the letter to Lu Xiangsheng.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he suppressed his anger all the time, and seemed to be unable to suppress it, and shouted sharply: "There is no evidence in this letter? It's all your one-sided words! What I want is evidence..."

Before he finished speaking, Anders, the Portuguese leader who was standing on the side, came out and respectfully reminded Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, I dare to conclude that these Spaniards are lying. They massacred Luzon Ming people a few times before, all of them They are only greedy for the wealth of the Ming people, they don't take the life of the Ming people seriously at all, and they don't take the Ming Empire seriously."

With such a good opportunity, of course he wanted to talk.What's more, this time, he felt that he was telling the truth, so his voice was even louder.

When Filot saw him and heard what he said, he became anxious immediately, and immediately shouted: "You fart!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately explained to Lu Xiangsheng respectfully: "Honorable Earl, the Portuguese are our Spanish subjects, but they are rebelling, and they are also rebelling. His words are absolutely slander!"

Feeling that the situation of this trip was serious, Philot unconsciously used his acting skills while speaking, pretending to be indignant.

However, not to mention that the emperor has made it clear that Portugal and Portugal are all brotherly states, just as far as this matter is concerned, Lu Xiangsheng already had some concerns in his heart. He immediately gave a sharp shout, pointed his finger at Filot and shouted: "I already know, In Luzon, there have been three massacres of Ming people alone, and this is the fourth time. Don’t tell me, it’s because we Ming people are all arrogant and undisciplined, and collude with pirates every time to achieve their goals. rebellion?"

Hearing this, Philot's heart sank.The earl of the Ming Dynasty didn't care about the rebellion of the Portuguese, but contacted the previous few times for analysis, which made it a little difficult for him to distinguish.

Because from a common sense point of view, it is difficult to explain Ming people's rebellion again and again!

Thinking of this, his forehead was sweating, and his attitude became more respectful, and he bent down and replied: "My lord Earl, you are so smart, and the fact is true, so I was forced to kill him just now. Look, there are still people here. With the sincerity of our Lord Governor..."

Having said that, he quickly took out another letter from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything useful, Lu Xiangsheng just kept his mouth stubborn, and he was able to roughly determine the truth of the facts. However, after hearing him say this suddenly, as a Confucian student who has been nurtured for many years, he still suppressed his anger. He waved his hand with a cold face.

The personal guard stepped forward to take the letter again, and the translator conveyed the contents of the letter.

This letter was written in the name of the Spanish Governor in Luzon, saying that in order not to damage the friendship with the Ming Empire, although those Ming people conspired against them, they are still willing to pay some silver, the amount is [-] silver dollars.In addition, he also said that as long as Ming people go to Luzon again and keep their own place, they will give various preferential treatment.

Before the translator could finish explaining the offer, Lu Xiangsheng interrupted angrily: "That's enough!"

Then, he stared at Filot and sternly shouted: "From the beginning to the end, I have not seen any evidence of your so-called Ming people's treason! As far as I know, when you massacred my Ming people for the third time, I also used this set of rhetoric, and now I use it again? Is it easy to deceive when I am an official?"

After a pause, his voice became louder. It could be seen that his anger could no longer be suppressed, and he shouted again sharply: "Even if our Ming people conspire against you so many times, you must be the ones who forced us to do so. Otherwise, the latecomers will hear about you. How can you rebel if you have no scruples about killing people? Besides, even if the people of my Ming Dynasty plot rebellion, how can you kill them all? Why didn’t you inform me, Da Ming, and let me deal with it?”

At this point, Lu Xiangsheng sneered and said: "I have determined that what you said is just sophistry and trying to deceive me! Come on!"

When his personal guards heard this, they immediately responded in unison: "This subordinate is here!"

Sensing Lu Xiangsheng's anger, the hostility of the surrounding people, and the Portuguese's gloating, the cold sweat on Filot's forehead could no longer be stopped, dripping down.

But at this time, he didn't bother to wipe it.He really didn't expect that the words that had worked in the past were useless this time. What went wrong?
Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, it seemed that he was about to be dealt with. Filot immediately said loudly in a hurry: "Dear Lord Earl, please remain rational! If you do something bad, it will hurt both of you and me. If you don't have the friendship with the country, your emperor will probably be angry!"

There is no way, now he can only use such rhetoric, and use the Ming emperor to suppress this Ming official who is not easy to be persuaded.

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help being even more angry.He didn't expect that this Xiyi would be so hateful, and he would deal with him one after another.

Regarding Emperor Chongzhen, he actually knew very well in his heart that how could it be possible for Daming to have friendship with these Western barbarians, the emperor had clearly told him long ago that he wanted to compete with these Western barbarians for hegemony in the world.

Therefore, this Philot moved out of Emperor Chongzhen, which in turn angered Lu Xiangsheng even more. However, when he was about to speak, suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside. Soon a personal guard came in, clasped his hands in fists, and reported to Lu Xiangsheng. Said: "Sir, an angel has come to the capital."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard it, he couldn't help being taken aback, because counting the time, the urgent report he sent about the massacre of the Ming people in Luzon had just arrived in the capital. Why did the imperial edict arrive at this time?
He didn't know what happened, he had to receive the order right away, so he ordered his subordinates to watch over these Xiyi, and went to receive the order in a hurry.

In the lobby, only a few of Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards were guarding. Anders looked at the anxious Filot, and couldn't help but feel very happy. He couldn't help but stepped forward and taunted: "You Spaniards are really idiots, thinking that the Ming Empire You are as easy to be deceived by you as the natives of other colonies, and you are manipulated by you? Hehe, wait and see, you are going to be unlucky!"

Hearing him say this, Philot couldn't help but look a little ugly, but he couldn't be outdone, so he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Not to mention anything else, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is definitely very sensitive to rebellion. Those Ming people rebelled, this is not only We Spaniards don’t allow it, and even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty certainly wouldn’t allow it. Keep your dog eyes open to see how this matter develops.”

Having said that, seeing Anders' undisguised disbelief and gloating, Filot couldn't help shouting at him again: "Also, you Portuguese are also rebellious. I'm afraid the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not be concerned about this matter." I know. If you know that you are also rebellious, this is absolutely not allowed, at least you will be expelled!"

Hearing this, Anders laughed so happily that Philot was a little dumbfounded. He didn't think it was a funny thing!

After seeing Anders finished laughing, he said to him in a ostentatious tone: "Stupid, you don't know, then I can tell you that the Emperor Ming not only knew, but also supported us in Portugal's fight against your evil Spanish rule." The cause has become a country of brothers with Portugal. Daming is a brother, and Portugal is a brother. If anyone dares to bully Portugal in the future, the Ming Empire will send troops to protect it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Philot with a smug face, seeing the shock that appeared as he expected. To be honest, Anders was very happy at this time.

With the backing of the powerful Ming Empire, Portugal will not be afraid of anything from now on, not only Spain, but also France. It is estimated that within a few decades, Portugal will become the hegemon of Europe!

Needless to say, when Philot heard the news, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.This news was beyond his expectation.If it is said, he still had a little bit of confidence before.I feel that the Ming navy mainly has a large number of people. As for warships and artillery, they actually despise them.

But now, the relationship between the Portuguese and the Ming country has improved to this point, and the warships and artillery of the Ming country will definitely be greatly improved. There are even more countries in China, how can this be done?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Lu Xiangsheng striding in. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Xiangsheng shout: "Come on, take him down!"
