Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 742 Master Wang goes south to Luzon Island

The rescued young man is Wang Afu, a native of Fuzhou, Fujian. He came out with the elders of the clan to make a living when he was very young.On the land to the camp, he was very excited and kept asking questions about Daming, the Emperor, and his hometown in Fujian.

Liu Fugen gave him all the answers he could answer, which made Wang Afu even more excited. Seeing him like this, all the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help feeling proud.

Of course, Wang Afu also talked about what they experienced.Said that they were excited for the imperial army to take down Annan's side, the Spaniards and the local aborigines united and began to massacre them.

Because there are old people in the clan, the memories of the previous massacres are still fresh, so they have some precautions, so some escaped.However, life was not easy. Those natives continued to hunt them down, and they couldn’t show up at all. The food they had stored up before was almost exhausted. He just had no choice but to come out to see where they could get food. The natives were hit.

Hearing his words, a soldier of the Ming army was a little puzzled, so he asked him, "Since Lu Song has already killed our Ming people several times, why do you still come here?"

After hearing this, Wang Afu scratched his head and said, "Isn't it hard to live in my hometown? It is said that there are thieves in our Fujian region. Once they come, it will definitely be over. It just so happened that these Spaniards said they would treat us preferentially, and they also said that the former Ming people They were killed because they wanted to rebel, as long as we keep ourselves safe, we will definitely not kill people, and people from our clan will come here to beg for a living!"

"What kind of thieves are there now!" A soldier of the Ming army heard it, and immediately said loudly, "The world has long been peaceful in the country, and the emperor of Shengming is in power. Even the natural disasters in various places have not been so serious. Ambulance, otherwise, hehe, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the local Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely impeach the local officials. Our emperor, these are the most important things now."

When he said this, the others nodded in agreement.

Wang Afu was very eager to hear it, and said to them: "Actually, I have long wanted to go home and have a look. You don't know, the Spaniards here don't mean anything at all, and they impose heavy taxes on us. Life has become more and more difficult. Especially when I heard that the imperial army captured Annan, many people in the clan said that their hometown might change, so they wanted to go back and have a look, but they didn’t expect that the Spaniards would start killing us before we went back.”

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "If our hometown is good, we won't run to the Spaniards to be angry!"

At this moment, suddenly, I heard a voice coming from the forest: "Brother Afu!"

When Wang Afu heard it, he immediately looked up and recognized who it was, but before he could speak, he saw a young man appearing holding a knife, and asked vigilantly, "Who are they? Why did you bring people to the camp?"

Judging from the appearance, he is definitely not Spanish, and he does not even look like the natives of Luzon. There is a difference in appearance after all.

Wang Afu heard this, and immediately said with a smile: "They are the imperial army, we are saved!"

Speaking of this, he immediately said to Liu Fugen: "My lord, our camp is not far ahead."

Hearing his words, the young man looked at Wang Afu, and then at other people, especially Liu Fugen, whom Wang Afu called "adult", with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing him like this, Wang Afu glared at him, and shouted loudly: "Why are you still in a daze, go back and report, let Second Grandpa and the others come to greet you, and say that the imperial army has arrived!"

Seeing that the man still couldn't believe it, Liu Fugen thought for a while, and said to his subordinates: "Take off your coats!"

Hearing this, the other soldiers of the Ming army all giggled and took off their coats one after another, revealing the armor they were wearing underneath.

Seeing this, the young man suddenly showed ecstasy, shouted immediately, jumped up and ran into the woods, but he could hear his shout: "Second Grandpa, Father, the court officials and soldiers are here!" , the imperial army is here..."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled.The soldiers of the Ming army heard the surprise in his voice, and of course they all felt benefited. Who doesn't like to be loved and supported by the people?
After a while, we arrived at the gate of the camp.

The so-called camp is actually just an open space in the dense forest, with simple houses and a group of fences around it.

At this time, when they appeared at the gate of the camp, four to fifty people had already gathered here, including men, women, old and young, all with surprised expressions, and they were rushing out under the leadership of the young man before.

Suddenly they saw the soldiers of the Ming army in armor appearing in front of them, and they all stood still, looking at these soldiers of the Ming army, just staring, as if they couldn't get enough of it.

The old man at the head knelt down suddenly, with tears streaming down his face, and said in a sobbing voice: "I never thought that before the old man died, he could still see the royal master of the imperial court. God is sorry. The royal master has come to Luzon. The imperial court has not forgotten us." ..."

Hearing this, the crowd behind him remembered what had happened before. They were hunted by Spaniards and natives everywhere, and the dead bodies of Ming people were everywhere. It is precarious, and I am in fear all day long. I don’t know when the Spaniards or natives will suddenly appear, and their relatives will die before their eyes...

Thinking about that kind of fear, but now, I suddenly have a very safe feeling. This kind of emotion is really unforgettable. The dependence on the imperial court has reached the highest in this life in history. Crying helplessly before, but also venting tears happily because of having support in the future.

Looking at this scene, Liu Fugen didn't know why, he lost the sense of pride just now, but felt that the responsibility on his shoulders seemed to be a little heavier. He immediately clasped his fists, gestured towards Annan, and then said seriously and seriously: "The emperor is wise and mighty, I have personally arrived in Annan to command the army, and I will attack Luzon in a few days to avenge the murdered Ming people, and from now on, you don’t need to hide in Tibet anymore!”

Hearing this, this group of men, women and children felt for the first time how wonderful it is to have their own emperor, regardless of whether the direction was correct or not, they all kowtowed and said "long live" in a hurry.

Later, after Liu Fugen and others were welcomed into the stockade by them, they chatted and learned a lot, including the distribution of power in Luzon Island, the terrain and other conditions, and these can be said to be the Ming Dynasty who conquered Luzon. The news that the army must know, so after Liu Fugen learned about it, he took out the wooden carving and reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen.

The old man, Wang Afu and the others were stunned and felt incredible.I just feel that the emperor is so far away, can he really hear the words?
…………

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen could receive news from Liu Fugen.Not only that, he could receive all the eyeliner sent out before, and after a comprehensive analysis, he immediately held a military meeting and said to a group of civil servants and generals: "The Spaniards in Luzon are assisted by the Fite Department, and their leader Its name is Ferdinandi. The tribe has about 3 people, and it is the largest tribe near Manila. It is also the biggest accomplice and executioner of the massacre of our Ming people. This tribe will kill without mercy!"

"My minister (the last general) complies with the order!" In the lobby, the voices echoed in unison, very resounding.

Emperor Chongzhen went on to say: "In addition, sea power, in addition to the Spanish fleet, there is also Batavia's Hongyi fleet, and now they have colluded together. The total number of warships in the two fleets is [-]. But there are still A little……"

Speaking of this, he pointed at the map hanging on the screen with a thin stick and said: "Governor Batavia personally visited a fleet that has already arrived at this point. There are about [-] warships and about [-] transport ships. It can be seen that most of them are Japanese, and these should be Japanese warriors who were hired by Hongyi to fight for them."

Hearing the emperor's eloquence about the enemy's situation, the generals in the lobby immediately thought of the wood carvings that the emperor sent out before.Beyond that, they felt, there was no other reason to explain the source of the information.

They were shocked in their hearts, and Emperor Chongzhen was already saying: "In addition, there are still many Ming people who fled into the mountains and forests in Lu Song and survived. They are very familiar with Lu Song and provided the following information..."

Having said this, he began to talk in detail about the topography of Luzon, especially the Manila area, where to land, where to set up artillery, what the hydrology was like, etc., all in great detail, as if he had been there personally. .

The civil and military officials below, regardless of shock at this time, listened intently. These news can be said to be very precious, and they will be of great help to the attack on Luzon.

At the end of Emperor Chongzhen's speech, he said in an affirmative tone: "The current sea conditions, including Luzon's side, are already suitable for the navy to fight. Therefore, I decided that the soldiers are precious, and the navy will be dispatched immediately, rush to this point first, and ambush Pakistan. Fleet reinforcements led by Governor Davia."

At this time, no one doubted whether those wooden carvings were really useful, otherwise, the emperor would not be able to tell such detailed news about Luzon, especially the reinforcements from Batavia's Red Barbarians.

Therefore, all of them received the order loudly, and then immediately assembled the army, and set off early in the morning of the second day.

Emperor Chongzhen did not go and stayed in Hoi An.But this time Lu Xiang was promoted because he was also the governor of the southern navy of the Ming Dynasty.

…………

On the sea more than 100 kilometers northwest of Manila, there is an active volcanic island called Lubang Island. At this time, a fleet is heading towards Manila on the coast.

On the deck of the flagship of the fleet, Anthony, the governor of Batavia, was looking at Lubang Island, wondering what he was thinking.Beside him, a Spaniard happily said to him: "Your Excellency, you will arrive in Manila soon!"
