Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 735 Scared

When his personal guard heard this, he immediately stepped forward, clamped Filot left and right, and pushed him to his knees on the ground.

Filot was startled and struggled hastily, but Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards, who were they, still grabbed him by two, making him unable to move at all.

In desperation, Filot had no choice but to protest loudly with anxiety: "Your Excellency, why are you arresting me? I am an envoy. Aren't you a state of etiquette? Don't you have a saying that even if the two countries are at war? , that is not to beheaded!"

Obviously, he had really understood Daming's question.In an emergency, he yelled out this voice.

But while speaking, the sweat on his forehead kept dripping, and the ground in front of him was soon wet.

Lu Xiangsheng strode to the main seat without sitting down, looked down at the Xiyi, sneered and shouted: "Hehe, where did you have the courage to slaughter our Ming people? At this time, you know how to find excuses to be afraid?"

When Philot heard this, he knew that the earl of the Ming Kingdom's sudden change of attitude was probably related to the emperor's will just now. Maybe, he felt that he was really going to die here.

For those colonists who traveled thousands of miles to the Far East, they were not afraid of death.Otherwise, I would not have the guts to float on the sea for such a long time, and still go to a strange foreign country.

However, this fear of death is just their desire for money.As far as Filot is concerned, he is living a very good life in Luzon now. If he dies here like this, he is absolutely unwilling.Given a choice, he would pay any price to beg his dog to live.

Therefore, after feeling the crisis, Filot immediately wept and begged Lu Xiangsheng: "Your Excellency Earl, I have an [-]-year-old mother and a baby who is waiting to be fed. The whole family is raised by villains. Besides, the villain is also following orders, so he has no choice but to..."

Seeing the legendary begging for mercy, it seemed that the Earl of the Ming Dynasty was not moved, so he quickly changed his words and said: "The villain was sent to Luzon a few years ago, and the Governor-General wanted to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty. The villain once dissuaded me, but the villain was a soft-spoken person and did not help the people of Ming Dynasty. However, the villain could only do his best to help some Ming people escape into the forest. I implore the noble Earl For the sake of the villain being friendly to Ming Dynasty, please show mercy and let the villain go!"

The nonsense came out as soon as he opened his mouth, just for him to survive!

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was a little surprised, and immediately asked: "You said, there are still Ming people who fled into the mountains and forests and were not killed?"

"Yes yes yes!" Filot was overjoyed when he heard it, and he replied repeatedly, "They heard the news and fled into the mountains. They couldn't pursue them, so they could only let those Luzon natives go into the mountains to hunt them down. ..."

When he said this, he suddenly came back to his senses, as if he was eager to explain and said something wrong.

So, he couldn't continue, and he could only hope that the Earl of the Ming Dynasty didn't understand.

However, who is Lu Xiangsheng?
If it is said that the college entrance examination in later generations is a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses, Lu Xiangsheng's Jinshi background is definitely at the same level.People who come out like this, and they are still in their 40s, with rich experience, how could they not hear it!

After Lu Xiangsheng finished listening, he sneered and said, "You are waiting for Xiyi, full of lies, incoherent, and trying to trick me into saying that you are friendly to Daming? The one who can be sent here must be the confidant of your leader. You must have a share in the massacre of our Ming people."

Hearing what he said with such certainty, Filot immediately turned pale and opened his mouth to speak, but for a moment he couldn't think of an excuse to keep himself alive, so he became stupid.

A trace of contempt appeared on Lu Xiangsheng's face, and he shouted angrily: "Come on, cut off his ears, and charge some interest first."

"Obey!" His personal guard immediately agreed upon hearing this, and then dragged Filot away.

However, Lu Xiangsheng still didn't finish his sentence at this time, and he only heard him sternly order: "I want him to explain everything about the massacre of my Lu Song Ming people this time. Also, Lu Song's military strength, how many Western barbarians, how many natives , and explain clearly. If you don’t tell, or if you are found to be lying to each other, you will cut him into pieces, and then his followers will take you back!”

"Obey!" His personal guard heard it and responded loudly again.

"I said, I said..." Of course Philot knew what the punishment was, and he almost peed his pants in fright, and yelled quickly.

But Lu Xiangsheng ignored him, and turned to the other guards and said: "This time, all the Xiyi who came with him are like this, and then I will confess to them!"

It all means that, like Filot, first cut off both ears for interest, and then ask for a confession, if there is something false, or if you don't tell the truth, it will be a death sentence.

After the personal guard went out to execute his military order, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at Anders who was smiling all over his face, and said solemnly: "The emperor's decree has come. I will lead the forces of Annan and Fujian Taiwan to attack Xiyi in Luzon. Call to escape one. If anyone escapes, he will be captured even if he is chased to the ends of the earth! You, Frangji, will also participate in this expedition, and you will not be neglected for two days, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

Hearing this, Anders quickly put away his smile, and replied with the same seriousness: "Okay, no problem!"

He knew that such an answer would make this Ming kingdom's frontier official happy.If he continues to show his inner joy, it may make Lu Xiangsheng unhappy. After all, this matter involves the massacre of the people of the Ming Dynasty. This matter can only be shared with the enemy and cannot be playful.

How could Lu Xiangsheng not know how happy these Frangji people would be when they attacked Xiyi in Luzon Island.But he didn't care, but immediately sent an order, held a military meeting, and began to deploy the conquest of Luzon.

One thing, for him, is powerless.That is, the troops in Fujian and Taiwan are far away and have no means of communication. They can only go to Luzon Island and return to his command.For now, he can only command the army on Annan's side.

On Annan's side, after all, it has just been pacified, and the army needs to be stationed to maintain the governance of the local officials, and all the troops cannot be withdrawn.He estimated that in addition to the [-] warships of various colors and almost [-] troops of the Fujian Navy under Zheng Chenggong, he could only send another [-] troops.

But Lu Xiangsheng didn't think there was anything wrong, Xiyi could only rely on the sharp guns of the Clippers.

Now, the Fujian Navy has about a dozen warships imitating the Xiyi warships, and with the assistance of the warships of the Fo Langji people, their own side will not be worse than the Luzon Xiyi warships.

As for artillery, the gap between the two sides is almost the same.Even on muskets, the Ming army is all flintlock, and it will definitely not be inferior to Luzon Xiyi.

With these advantages gone, how could Luzon and the Western Barbarians fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty army!
In fact, the generation gap in weapons in this era is really not that big.If you are familiar with firearms and have a commander who is good at fighting and commanding an elite army of cold weapons, you can still defeat an army of hot weapons.

There is a good example, that is Liaodong Jianlu, after suffering a disadvantage in front of firearms, he came up with a way to deal with firearms.Such as sudden cavalry attack, chariot cover and so on.Even if the firearms of the Ming army were poor, it is undeniable that Liaodong's method of building captives had a certain effect.In this era, the most important thing is to look at people, not weapons.

As for the natives of Luzon Island, it wasn't that Lu Xiangsheng underestimated them, he really didn't.In the past, only the pirates from Daming who fled to Nanyang could rule over them!Not to mention, he is still leading the imperial army by himself now!

Before evening, the personal guards presented eleven pairs of ears and eleven confessions to Lu Xiangsheng.Moreover, some personal guards have checked their confessions, and there are not many discrepancies.

"Hehe, my lord, these Western barbarians in Luzon are very afraid of death!" Lu Xiangsheng's personal guard, having come to such a conclusion, reported with a sense of ridicule.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he also sneered in his heart, but he didn't speak. He just looked down at the incident of the massacre of the Ming people in Luzon, as well as the Luzon Xiyi and the native troops who helped the evildoers.

What kind of Ming people colluded with pirates to rebel, it's all fucking nonsense!Lu Xiangsheng was extremely angry when he saw it. Even though he was a Confucian student, he couldn't help but swear in his heart.

It's still the emperor's wisdom, these Xiyi are used to killing, and they think nothing will happen, so they treat the people of Ming Dynasty recklessly.Now this time, it is indeed time to take the Xiyi of Lu Song and those natives who helped the evildoers as an example, and kill them as an example to let all the Xiyi know that if they dare to attack the people of Ming Dynasty, they will have to pay an unbearable price!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng's murderous aura became much stronger.So much so that sometimes, the way he looks at Anders makes Anders a little scared.

…………

Manila, Luzon, Spanish Governor’s Mansion, Governor Diego looked at a row of people, all with their heads covered, and couldn’t help but ask the leader Filot in surprise: “What’s wrong with you, the Ming Dynasty’s business, but it’s done. gone?"

When Filot heard this, he immediately pointed to his head and said with a mournful face, "Your Excellency, the Ming people cut off our ears and declared war on us!"

"What?" Diego was startled when he heard it, stood up in shock, stared at Filot and said, "Didn't you say that this matter is easy to solve? What's going on, how did it become like this? "

The total number of Spanish people in Luzon is only about [-].How can we fight against such a huge empire with just this few troops?If they are empires with low-level civilizations, such as those in the Americas before, there is nothing to be afraid of.However, the civilization of the Ming Empire is far from comparable to those countries. It can even be said that it is a civilization that they themselves admire very much!
With such a huge empire, so many people, and yet so close, how can we fight?
