Chapter 1132 The Tragedy of Overseas Mingren

The movement was really loud, and it surprised the three people in the courtyard.For a while, no one spoke, they turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door.

The sound of "dong dong dong" continued to come, and it seemed that the door panel was about to be smashed.

At this time, such a thing happened suddenly, and Zhang Wu's heart was raised in his throat.Having experienced the previous massacre, his nerves tensed immediately, and he quickly said to his two apprentices: "You guys quickly find a place to hide! No, you go over the wall from behind!"

As soon as the two apprentices heard this, they agreed, and immediately dispersed to find two shoulder poles.

At this time, the sound of knocking on the door became louder, and there was still a faint sound.When Zhang Wu saw the two apprentices holding the shoulder poles hard and was anxiously trying to persuade him, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, listened carefully, then walked out quickly, and at the same time confessed: "It seems to be Old Wangtou, don't come out of the house."

The two apprentices were not willing to listen, so they followed behind him, holding the poles in their hands tightly.

After entering the front room, I heard "dong dong dong" and anxious shouts: "Brother Zhang, are you there? Brother Zhang, are you there? Open the door..."

At this time, the voice could be heard clearly, and Zhang Wu confirmed that it was the old Wangtou, so he hurried forward, and while responding "here we are", he unbolted the door bolt, and quickly retreated a few steps.

The door was pushed open, and several people broke in. The leader was the old Wangtou on the street.He looked anxious, and when he saw Brother Zhang's two apprentices in the room, both holding poles in their hands, he immediately looked at Zhang Wu and asked anxiously, "Brother Zhang, did you feel it too?"

"Ah?" Zhang Wu was a little confused when he heard this, "What do you feel?"

The old Wang pointed his head at his two apprentices, and then said anxiously: "Brother Zhang, do you feel that those Spaniards want to attack our Ming people again?"

While he was talking, the young men who followed him quickly closed the door.

After the old Wangtou finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhang Wu would not understand, so he added: "Those Spaniards and Pampanga people are deliberately looking for trouble. Just today, the Spaniards suddenly blocked On the other side of the port, we Ming people are only allowed to enter but not to exit. Brother Zhang, you have experienced what happened during the Wanli period. You said, did it start like this last time? Brother Zhang, the Spaniard, are you going to deal with it? Are we smart enough to do it?"

When he asked this, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Wu.Everyone looked obviously nervous.

Zhang Wuyi was surprised when he heard what Old Wangtou said, saying that at the port, Ming people were allowed to enter but not to leave.What happened back then seemed to be repeating itself before our eyes.His face turned pale immediately.

But at this moment, the stakes were so important that he didn't dare to answer right away. After thinking for a while, he asked the old king, "Did the Spaniards let the patriarchs of various clans discuss matters? Or, did those rich merchants make any changes?"

Hearing this, Old Wang froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to this, what's the matter, does it matter?"

Zhang Wu listened, nodded solemnly and said: "It's very important, Spain and those monkeys are afraid that we will form a group of Ming people, and they will threaten and lure us to break up our group of Ming people in advance, and then do it!"

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and asked again: "By the way, those monkeys are the Pampanga people, but they are gathering in the city on a large scale?"

After hearing this, the old Wang shook his head again.He just panicked when he heard the news from the port that only Ming people were allowed in, but not allowed out.Young people may have forgotten the massacres that took place here.But he is older and came here a few years after the massacre, so he has this string in his heart.He knew that Zhang Wu had survived the previous massacre, so he hurried over to ask for news.

But he didn't know, but a young man behind him suddenly interrupted and said: "The head of the Zhao family heard that he went to the governor's mansion, just this morning, I don't know?"

Ming people overseas are generally gathered by blood relationship, that is, clan relationship connects each other.This also caused Ming people to have many small groups overseas.The surname Zhao is also a common surname here. The head of the Zhao family is considered a respectable figure among the Ming people in Lu Song.I usually deal with Spaniards a lot, and the relationship seems to be good.

Hearing that he was called to the governor's mansion, several people were quite nervous.But their current information is only that the head of the Zhao family went to the governor's mansion, which doesn't seem to explain anything.

Zhang Wu thought for a while, then with a serious face, he ordered with a worried look: "Who of you are familiar with the Zhao family, go over and listen to the news, and see if there is any change in the Zhao family!"

One person heard this, and immediately reached out his hand to signal, saying that he had a friend who belonged to the Zhao family.The matter was urgent, so he hurriedly opened the door and left.

Zhang Wu looked at the rest of the people, and continued: "Whether the Pampanga people gather here is also very important. After all, if they only rely on the Spaniards, they will not be able to do anything. Whoever checks this matter, Let's see how it goes?"

"Master, I'll go!" The short apprentice responded immediately upon hearing this.

At this time, Zhang Wu couldn't care about anything else, and immediately went on to say: "Someone needs to check to see if there are other patriarchs or wealthy businessmen who have close contacts with the Governor's Mansion. The situation is not normal."

Speaking of this, he added an explanation: "If it is just the Zhao family, it is definitely not enough to disintegrate our Ming people. In the past, there were many wealthy businessmen and clans who were deceived by the Spaniards beforehand, so we have no leader. , into a mess, they were unilaterally slaughtered!"

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, the people behind Old Zhang immediately agreed to divide the work and cooperate, and each went out to inquire about the news of the various clans.

In the barber shop, only Zhang Wu, his tall apprentice and Lao Wangtou were left.

At this time, the old Wangtou, with extra worry, looked at Zhang Wu and asked: "Brother Zhang, what do you think is the possibility of this matter?"

Zhang Wu saw the panic in his heart, thought about it carefully, and didn't hide it, and immediately replied: "At least [-]% of the possibility, anyway, something is going to happen. Otherwise, the Spaniards would not be able to block the port and prevent us from knowing." leave!"

"Ah!" The old Wangtou looked very panicked. He is not like Zhang Wu who has never been married. He is a man with a family. His face is extremely ugly. , don't worry about it!"

On the contrary, Zhang Wu's tall apprentice, with determination on his angry face, said in a low voice: "What can we do at this time? As long as we Ming people unite and the soldiers come to cover the water and soil, even if we die, we can't let them slaughter us! "

Zhang Wu didn't speak boldly. He understood the worry of the old Wangtou, so he comforted him: "I don't know the details yet, let's see the situation first, maybe we are scaring ourselves!"

Having said that, everyone probably has a judgment in their hearts.

At this moment, two groups of people came successively.Similar to the old Wangtou, the leaders are all a little old, but they have not experienced the massacre.They all knew that Zhang Wu was a survivor, so they came to ask Zhang Wu's opinion.Because of his own experience, Zhang Wu has virtually become the leader of the familiar folks around him.

Likewise, among those who came later, some were sent out to inquire about news, while others remained in the barber's shop.Of course, the people who stay in the barber shop are not just sitting there.

They were worried one by one, discussing what to do?Because there had been a massacre, these people had no hope of begging the Spaniards for their lives.

It was the same in the original history. At the first time, it was almost a one-sided massacre. Although the Ming people also resisted after reacting, it was basically useless.However, during the second massacre in [-], many Ming people took up arms and fought.

However, among the Ming people in Manila, there are more than 1 merchants alone, and the total number of people on the island is 3 to [-].The Spaniards brutally exploited and ravaged the Ming people. They not only levied heavy taxes, but also forced Chinese merchants to perform heavy labor. Many Ming people, including merchants, were tortured to death.

In the end, the Ming people couldn't bear it anymore and rose up to resist. The Spanish immediately mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress them. The main force was still the indigenous people. ash.Then massacres were carried out throughout Luzon Island. Some tricked Ming merchants into a compound for mass shooting, and some used surprise attacks to kill unprepared Ming merchants. Even the elderly and children could not spared.This massacre lasted for more than three months, killing more than [-] Ming people, which can be described as inhumane.

History is sometimes really sad. After the massacre, the Spaniards found that it was not enough without the Ming people, and then pretended to be good people to attract the Ming people.At that time, the territory of Ming Dynasty was already in dire straits, and the troubles of bandits and slave chieftains followed one after another. In the end, many Ming people came to Luzon again to ask for a living.

In "Jiannei" in 5000, there were usually [-] Ariakes living there, all of whom were merchants and handicraft workers. They formed their own streets and squares, equipped with all the commodities and handicraft industries necessary for society, and the market was well arranged. Very good, well-ordered, and very convenient for the citizens.However, the Spanish rulers were unwilling to covet the wealth of the Ming people because of the expansion of Ming business capital. They were afraid that the power of the Ming people would increase, and they wanted to attack the Ming people again.

This time, Zheng Chenggong, who was already in Taiwan, received a request for help and wrote an ultimatum to the Governor of Luzon, warning him not to act rashly.Unexpectedly, the Spaniards used this as an excuse to carry out another massacre.This massacre also killed all the Ming people in Manila first, and then killed the Ming people on the whole island. The Ming people in Luzon were almost extinct.

At that time, Zheng Chenggong was furious when he heard the news, so he prepared his army for war and prepared to go to Luzon.Unexpectedly, at this time, Zheng Chenggong died of illness, and his unworthy descendants began to fight for power and profit. In the end, not only no one thought about sending troops to Luzon, but was wiped out by the Qing Dynasty.

The Spaniards in history committed numerous crimes against the Ming people, and the local aborigines, the Pampanga people, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Ming people, escaped the punishment of justice. For China, it is not a pity extreme.

However, on this plane, will it continue to be like this?

Regardless of the outcome, in the spring of [-], the butterfly effect of Emperor Chongzhen's crossing had already had an effect in this distant Luzon.Originally, the Spaniards would have been oppressing and exploiting the Ming people until [-], and then forced the Ming people to resist and carry out massacres. In the evening, it has been confirmed. Let's do it.

At this time, in the Spanish Governor's Palace, Governor Coquera was originally transferred to become Governor of Luzon in [-].But on this plane, he took office ahead of schedule.His full name is Sebastian Hurtado de Coquera. When he was young, he fought in Flanders and Peru. He was the governor of Panama before. In the words of Ming Dynasty, he is a general Because of his birth, he likes to use force in his actions.In later generations, he was known as one of the two outstanding military leaders of Spain in Luzon.

At this time, with a serious face and a map hanging on his face, he explained to his subordinates: "The news received so far has confirmed that the Ming people sent troops to Annan, and the Portuguese in Annan were either killed or fled. They All the properties in Annan were captured by the Ming people, and the Portuguese had almost no power to fight back."

Having said that, he paused, glanced at his shocked men, and continued, "The reason for this is that the Ming people in Annan were the internal support of their Ming army, so they captured Annan so easily."

Hearing this, the Spanish leaders present at the meeting suddenly shouted.

"I know that these Ming people are not good people, they are all ungrateful people!"

"Yes, we let them make money here. As a result, they made too much money and wanted to collude with the army of their home country!"

"..."

In the burning red eyes of these Spanish colonists, what they saw was the wealth of the Ming people, but they never thought that the wealth of the Ming people was created by their own hands.And it was created under the oppression of Spanish colonists like them, living frugally. The license fee that needs to be changed once a year alone accounts for 20.00% of the annual income of Luzon Spaniards. Talk about other aspects.From this, it can be said that the wealth of the Spanish colonists in Luzon is entirely based on the hard work of the Ming people.

But at this time, the Spanish colonists present at the meeting clamored one by one, and after a while, the arguments could be unified.

"Your Excellency Governor, these smart people are cheap, and if they are dangerous, it is better to kill them all."

"Yes, in this way, not only will the Ming army have no internal response, but we will also be able to snatch back our wealth!"

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"..."

These people, just because of a possible existence, want to kill all Ming people.The nature of the robber is fully exposed at this time!

After hearing this, Coquila finally nodded in agreement.His purpose for convening this meeting is to do this, and, in fact, he is already preparing for it!
