Chongzhen Chat Group

The movement was really loud, which surprised the three people in the yard inside. For a moment, no one spoke, and they turned to look in the direction of the door.

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

At this time, something like this happened suddenly, and Zhang Wu's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He had experienced the previous massacre, and his nerves suddenly became tense, and he quickly said to his two apprentices: "Quickly find a place to hide! No, you can climb over the wall from behind and leave first!"

When the two apprentices heard this, Naken agreed and immediately spread out to find two poles in their hands.

At this time, the knocking on the door became louder and louder, and there were faint sounds. Zhang Wu saw the hands of the two apprentices holding the poles vigorously, and when he was anxiously trying to persuade him, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, listened carefully again, then walked out quickly, and at the same time explained: "It seems to be Old Wangtou, please stay in the house and don’t come out.”

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 the sound of "dong dong dong" and the anxious shouting: "Brother Zhang, are you there? Brother Zhang, are you there? Open the door..."

At this time, the voice could be heard clearly. Zhang Wu confirmed that it was Lao Wangtou, and hurriedly stepped forward. While responding, "Come on, come on," he unbolted the door and took a few steps back.

The door was pushed open, and several people broke in. The leader was none other than Lao Wangtou from the street. He looked anxious. When he saw Brother Zhang's two apprentices in the room, both holding poles on guard, he immediately looked at Zhang Wu and asked anxiously: "Brother Zhang, do you feel it too?"

"Ah?" Zhang Wu was a little confused after hearing this, "What do you feel?"

Lao Wang pointed his head at his two apprentices, and then said anxiously: "Brother Zhang, do you feel that those Spaniards want to attack us Mingren again?"

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

After Lao Wangtou finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhang Wu still didn't understand, so he added: "The Spaniards and Pampanga people are deliberately looking for trouble more and more. Just today, the Spaniards suddenly blocked Over at the port, we Ming people are only allowed in but not out. Brother Zhang, you have experienced what happened during the Wanli period. Do you think it started like this last time? Brother Zhang, the Spaniards, are you ready to deal with it? Are we Ming people taking action? "

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

Zhang Wuyi was shocked when he heard what Lao Wangtou said about the port. What happened back then seems to be happening again before our eyes. His face suddenly turned pale.

But the stakes were so high at this time that he did not dare to answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked the old king: "Did the Spaniards ask the heads of the clans to discuss matters? Or, did those wealthy businessmen do anything strange?"

Hearing this, Lao Wang was stunned, shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to this. What's wrong? Does this matter?"

After hearing this, Zhang Wu nodded solemnly and said: "It has a lot to do with it. Spain and those monkeys are afraid of our Ming people's grouping. They will use coercion and inducement to break up our Ming's grouping in advance, and then take action!"

At this point, he remembered something and asked again: "By the way, those monkeys are Pampanga people, but they are gathering in the city in large numbers?"

After hearing this, Lao Wangtou shook his head again. He just heard news from the port that only Ming people were allowed to enter but not let out, so he panicked. Young people may have forgotten the massacres that happened here. But he is older and came here within 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: "I heard that the head of the Zhao family went to the Governor's Mansion just this morning. I don't know, right?"

Ming people overseas generally gathered based on blood relationships, that is, clan relationships connected each other. This also resulted in Ming people often having many small groups overseas. The surname Zhao is also a common surname here. The head of the Zhao family is considered a prominent figure among the Ming people in Lusong. I usually interact with Spanish people a lot, and my relationship seems to be good.

Hearing that he was summoned to the Governor's Mansion made several people nervous. But the information they have now is that the head of the Zhao family has gone to the Governor's Mansion, which doesn't seem to mean much.

Zhang Wu thought for a moment, then said with a serious face and a worried look: "Any of you who are familiar with the Zhao family, go over and inquire about the news and see if there is anything unusual in the Zhao family!"

After hearing this, one person immediately stretched out his hand to indicate that he had a friend from the Zhao family. The matter was urgent, so he hurriedly opened the door and left.

Zhang Wu looked at the remaining people and continued: "Whether the Pampanga people are gathering here is also very important. After all, if they only rely on the Spaniards, they will not be able to do it. Who will check this matter? See how it goes?"

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

At this time, Zhang Wu could no longer care about anything else, and immediately continued: "Someone still needs to check to see if there are any other clan leaders or wealthy businessmen who have close contact with the Governor's Mansion, and the situation is abnormal."

Having said this, he added an explanation: "If it were just the Zhao family, it would definitely not be enough to dismantle us Ming people. In the past, many wealthy businessmen and clans were deceived by the Spaniards in advance, so we were leaderless. , they became a mess and were slaughtered unilaterally by them!"

After Zhang Wu said this, several people behind Lao Zhang immediately agreed to divide the work and cooperate, and went out to inquire about the news of each clan.

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

At this time, Lao Wangtou was extremely worried. He looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you think is the possibility of this happening?"

Zhang Wu saw the panic in his heart. After thinking about it carefully, he did not hide it and immediately replied: "There is at least a 50% chance that something is going to happen anyway. Otherwise, the Spaniards would not be able to block the port and prevent us from seeing anyone. leave!"

"Ah!" Old Wangtou looked very panicked. He was not unmarried like Zhang Wu. He had a family and a family. His face was unusually ugly. "What should I do? Mazu, please bless me." , don’t let anything happen!”

On the other hand, Zhang Wu's tall disciple said in a low voice with anger and determination on his face: "What can we do at this time? As long as we Ming people unite and use soldiers to cover up the water and the earth, even if we die, we cannot let them slaughter us! "

Zhang Wu didn't make any bold statements. He understood Lao Wangtou's worries and comforted him: "We don't know the details yet. Let's take a look at the situation first. Maybe we are scaring ourselves!"

Even though he said this, everyone probably had a judgment in their mind.

At this moment, two more groups of people arrived. Similar to Lao Wangtou, the leaders were all a bit older but had not experienced the massacre. They all knew that Zhang Wu was a survivor, so they came over to ask Zhang Wu for his opinion. Because of his own experience, Zhang Wu has become the leader of familiar villagers in the surrounding area.

Likewise, among those who came later, some were sent out to get information, while others stayed in the barber shop. Of course, those who stay in the barber shop are not just sitting around.

They were all worried and discussing what to do? Because there had been a massacre, they had little hope of begging the Spanish for their lives.

This was also the case in the original history. The first time, it was almost a one-sided massacre. Although Akito resisted after reacting, it was basically of no use. However, during the second massacre in 1638, many Ming people took up arms to fight.

However, there are more than 10,000 Ming people in Manila alone as merchants, and the total number on the island is 25,000 to 30,000. The Spanish brutally exploited and ravaged the Ming people. They not only levied heavy taxes, but also forced Chinese businessmen to perform heavy labor. Many Ming people, including businessmen, 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. They once again used cannons to level the "Jiannei" where the Ming people gathered, turning the former prosperous "Jiannei" into ashes. ash. Then massacres were carried out throughout Luzon. Some tricked Ming merchants into a compound and massacred them. Some used surprise attacks to kill unprepared Ming merchants, even the elderly and children. survived. This massacre lasted for more than three months, and more than 24,000 people were killed. It can be described as inhumane.

Sometimes history is really sad. After the Spaniards finished the massacre, they found that they couldn't do it without Ming people, and then they pretended to be good people to attract Ming people to come. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was already in dire straits, with bandits and slave chiefs causing trouble one after another. In the end, many Ming people came to Luzon again to seek life.

By 1661, there were usually 15,000 Ming people living in "Jiannei", all of whom were merchants and handicraft workers. They formed their own streets and squares, equipped with all the commodities and handicrafts necessary for society, and market arrangements. It is very well maintained, in good order, and is of great convenience to the public. However, the Spanish rulers were unwilling to expand the capital of Ming merchants and coveted Ming people's wealth. They were afraid that Ming people's power would increase again, so they wanted to take action against 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 Spanish used this as an excuse to carry out another massacre. This massacre also killed all the Ming people in Manila first, and then the whole island. The Ming people in Luzon were almost wiped out.

At that time, Zheng Chenggong was furious after hearing 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. In the end, not only did no one think of sending troops to Luzon, but they were destroyed by the Manchus.

In history, the Spaniards committed numerous crimes against the Ming Dynasty, and the local indigenous people, the Pampanga people, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Ming Dynasty, escaped justice. For China, it is not a pity. Extremely.

However, will this continue to be the case on this plane?

Regardless of the outcome, in the spring of 1634, the butterfly effect brought by Emperor Chongzhen through time had already had an effect in distant Luzon. Originally, the Spaniards would continue to oppress, exploit, and enslave the Ming people until 1638, and then force the Ming people to resist and carry out massacres. In the evening, it was confirmed. There are various signs that the Spaniards will soon Take action.

At this time, in the Spanish Viceroyalty, Governor Coqueira was originally to be transferred to become the Governor of Luzon in 1635. But in this dimension, he took office ahead of schedule. His full name is Sebastian Hurtado de Coquilla. When he was young, he fought in Flanders and Peru. He was previously the governor of Panama. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, this man was a military general. Born, he likes to use force in his actions. In later generations, he was known as one of Spain's two outstanding military leaders in Luzon.

At this time, he had a serious face, hung up a map, and explained to his men: "The information received so far has confirmed that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Annan, and the Portuguese in Annan were either killed or escaped. They All the properties in Annan were captured by the Ming, and the Portuguese had little power to fight back.”

At this point, he paused, glanced at his men who looked shocked, and then continued: "The reason for this is that the Ming people in Annan acted as internal agents for their Ming army, so they captured Annan so easily."

Upon hearing this, the Spanish leaders present at the meeting suddenly started shouting.

"You know these Mingren 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!"

"..."

What these Spanish colonists saw in their red eyes was the wealth of Ming people, but they never thought that Ming people's wealth was created with their own hands. And it was created under the oppression of Spanish colonists like them, who lived frugally. The license fee alone, which needs to be renewed once a year, accounts for 25.7% of the annual income of the Spaniards in Luzon. , not to mention other aspects. From this, it can be said that the wealth of the Spanish colonists in Luzon was entirely based on the hard work of the Ming people.

But at this time, the Spanish colonists participating in the meeting were clamoring one by one. It only took a while for the argument to be unified.

"Your Majesty the Governor, these Ming people are just cheap, leaving them in danger, why not just kill them all."

"Yes, in this way not only will the Ming army not be involved, but we will also be able to get back the wealth that belongs to us!"

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"..."

These people, just because of a possible existence, want to kill all Akito. The true nature of the robber is now exposed!

Coquilla listened and finally nodded in agreement. The purpose of his holding this meeting is to do this, and he is actually already preparing for it!
