Chongzhen Chat Group

The storm is about to come, and many signs of big things that are about to happen on Luzon Island have already been revealed.

Outside the barber shop, there were several young and strong Akito. The door of the shop was ajar, and no lights could be seen outside. However, if you walk into the yard at the back, you can see that many people have gathered here.

The younger ones were standing on the outside; the older ones were discussing things around a table in the middle of the courtyard. In the entire courtyard, apart from the moonlight, there was only one lantern, which emitted a dull light and illuminated an area as small as a table.

"Brother Zhang, you have experience. Please tell me how we can overcome this difficulty?" Lao Wangtou was the first to ask Zhang Wudao.

Several other older people also looked at Zhang Wu with concern, with varying degrees of nervousness on their faces.

Zhang Wu was actually in a difficult situation. He was still young the previous time, and he only figured out some of the things before the incident. But for the specific things, he never thought that such a thing would happen at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he is asked to give everyone advice, it is still such an important matter. To put it bluntly, he is a little unsure. I don’t dare!

Probably knowing what he was thinking, one of the burly middle-aged men said in a low voice, but still a little loudly: "Brother Zhang, it's okay. Just say it, it's better than us not having any clue, lest we end up like back then." !”

After hearing this, several other people also encouraged Zhang Wu, asking him to put down any burden and tell them how to deal with the situation.

Zhang Wu looked at their expectant eyes, finally nodded vigorously, and then said thoughtfully: "Since everyone believes in me, let me talk about our current situation based on what happened back then!"

Seeing a few people nodding, he continued: "From what we know so far, the Pampanga people have not gathered yet, and it is impossible for the Spaniards to do it alone. This means that we still have time. This is One of them!"

"Secondly, we cannot trust those wealthy businessmen who have good relations with the Spaniards, especially those who have been close to the Spaniards recently. But we can warn them not to trust the Spaniards. That time before, the Spaniards were They deceived people like them first, and then killed those people when the big deal was decided. This is a lesson for them!"

"Third, we need to contact as many compatriots as possible, organize each other, and act together on weekdays. Don't be left alone! We also need to elect a leader so that if something happens, we won't panic!"

"Fourth, at this time, it is not the time to take care of Xiaojia. Those who are rich should contribute money, those who are strong should contribute, those who can make gunpowder and firearms should all come together. There are also various weapons. We should pay attention to collecting those that can be used. , swords, guns and sticks will do. This way, we won’t be defenseless and unable to resist!”

After saying four points in one breath, Zhang Wu finally stopped and then fell into memories again.

Others listened and nodded. Seeing that he was silent. They didn't make a sound, just watched Zhang Wu meditating, not wanting to disturb his thoughts.

After a while, Zhang Wu raised his head again, looked at the people in front of him and continued: "We must also select a place in advance that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once something happens, everyone will evacuate quickly. You can Use the terrain to resist those bandits!"

When others heard this, they began to think of such a place. This barber shop is right on the street, so it is obviously not suitable as a base.

Unexpectedly, before they could think of anything, they heard noise coming from outside. Two young men quickly entered, panting, and quickly walked to the table in the middle of the yard. One of them looked at the burly middle-aged man and said: "Master, there are our Mingren's shops in the south of the city. Several of them were smashed by the Japanese pirates. Without any reason, they just rushed in and smashed them. People also Several of them were injured. When we went to stop them, the Spaniards drove us back with guns. Those Japanese pirates stood behind the Spaniards and laughed at us triumphantly!"

On Luzon Island, there were not only people from the Ming Dynasty, but also people from the Japanese country, but they were few, with only a thousand people coming. In the original history, these Japanese pirates also participated in the massacre of Ming people.

Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately stood up, casually took the stick thrown by the apprentice next to him, and thought about walking out.

"Master Niu, what are you doing?" Zhang Wu heard this and hurriedly shouted, "The Spaniards are protecting you. What can you do? Are you good at martial arts and can you beat their muskets?"

Niu Dazhuang opened a martial arts school in Manila, and his apprentices were all Ming people. At this time, after hearing Zhang Wu's words, he stopped helplessly and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

At this time, Zhang Wu, either because he had more experience or because he had put aside his ideological baggage, seemed very decisive and immediately replied: "If you go out now, you will definitely not be able to come back. We must unite more people Akito, do as I just said!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to the young people and said: "Remind our compatriots, during this period, do not think about doing business to make money. It is best for all Ming people not to do business, and let the Spaniards know that this Luzon Island can’t survive without us Ming people!”

When he said this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately. The Spaniards are not stupid pigs. Of course they know that Luzon cannot live without Mingren, but they don't care and hope that the butcher will put down his knife. This is simply unrealistic.

So, they began to focus on discussing which places could become their stronghold, and finally circled a few points, all of which were the manors of wealthy Ming people outside the city.

Then, the eloquent people immediately went to lobby, while others did what Zhang Wu said. That night, many people were destined to have sleepless nights.

Not long after, the barber shop became quiet again. Only Lao Wangtou and Niu Dazhuang were left to accompany Zhang Wu. Of course, they were also accompanied by their apprentices, but they were all scattered in the yard, or watching the action outside.

Suddenly, a sigh sounded, which was particularly harsh in the courtyard that had just become quiet.

When Lao Wang heard this, he immediately became nervous. He looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Zhang Wu smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that Lao Wangtou's wife and children, two sons and three daughters, have a heavy burden on his heart. I also figured it out. If I don't have a family, I won't have so many worries.

"Brother Zhang, tell me if you have anything to say, and we'll figure it out together!" Niu Dazhuang also had worry on his face, looking at Zhang Wu and said.

Zhang Wu looked at the two of them, sighed again, and said without hiding anything from them: "We just follow fate and do our best. You might want to see if you can find a boat and secretly go to sea, or at least send your family to a nearby place." Place to go.”

The big ship must be controlled by the Spaniards. The risk is high if the small ship goes to sea. It is probably not much better than staying in Luzon.

When Lao Wangtou heard what he said, he immediately reached out and grabbed Zhang Wu's arm and asked hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, what do you mean? Could it be...could it be useless if we do so much?"

Niu Dazhuang also wanted to ask, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he frowned and changed his words: "If we send someone to contact Liu Da's family and give them money, and we collect the money, do you think they are willing to come to the rescue?"

Having said this, he turned to Lao Wangtou and explained: "If there are no reinforcements from outside, it doesn't matter if we can hold on, we will be breached one day!"

Lao Wangtou knew that Niu Dazhuang was originally from a military household. He seemed to be a leader who could not stand the oppression from above and fled to Luzon. If he said this, then it would definitely not be false. Suddenly, he became anxious, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, we give money, don't those pirates just want money? How about we pool the money together?"

"Count on those pirates?" Zhang Wu asked after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Don't think that they will protect us because they are wise. They will not do a loss-making business. Let them go to war with the Spaniards and his lackeys. ,I do not believe!"

When he finished speaking, his tall disciple suddenly interrupted and said, "Master, you can ask the court for help!"

"The imperial court? Which imperial court?" When Niu Dazhuang heard this, he immediately sneered, "Don't tell me that you expect our own imperial court, right? You are young and don't know how many people were chilled by the imperial court's response to that massacre. Heart. Besides, I escaped because I couldn’t stand the dirty things in the Ming army. How can I expect a court like that? With an army like that, the sun is really coming out of the west!"

"No, it's different now..." The tall apprentice quickly defended, but before he could explain any more, he saw Niu Dazhuang spitting on the ground, turned around, and said directly to Zhang Wu and Lao Wangtou: "What are you doing? I think we still need to find Liu Da as the boss, this is our way to survive!"

At this point, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he told some things in his memory. This made Lao Wangtou also nod. They were all contemporaries and left the Ming Dynasty around the same time.

In the end, they both decided to lobby others and raise money to ask Mr. Liu to come to the rescue. This matter was also very urgent. Both Lao Wangtou and Niu Dazhuang felt a little impatient, and immediately left the barber shop, regardless of the night, to work on this matter.

The yard became quiet again. Zhang Wu was a little tired after a busy day, so he went to lie down on the Taishi chair, looked up at the bright moonlight, and was lost in thought!

His apprentice, on the other hand, went to the back room to get a blanket and covered the master's legs. At the same time, he muttered: "The court is different now. It is said that the current emperor is wise and powerful and cares about the people. He is unprecedented in history." There is a wise king!"

He had never said this before. When he said it at this time, half of it was actually his own thoughts, just to prove that his point of view was correct. After all, when he left Daming, Daming was no longer what Niu Dazhuang described.

To be honest, according to Zhang Wu's own knowledge, he is more inclined to Niu Dazhuang's statement, but just this morning, his two apprentices had already told him some things about the Ming Dynasty. Hearing it again at this time, he suddenly felt something in his heart, thinking that he had joined some kind of chat group. Aren't there people from Ming Dynasty there? Why not go in and ask?

Thinking this, he closed his eyes and entered the chat group.

At first, he didn't speak. He just observed for a while and found that the people in the group were all talking about Ming Dynasty topics. Some were talking about romantic affairs, and some were talking about the new salt method. Regardless of whether he understood what they were saying or not, at least one thing he was sure of was that these were undoubtedly people from the Ming Dynasty.

After confirming this, he finally plucked up the courage and intervened: "Hello, I would like to ask, did our Emperor Ming say that those who offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are?"

After finishing speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with him, and immediately added: "Also, the current emperor also said that our Ming people are outside, I mean overseas. If they are bullied, will they make decisions for us?"

His words were quickly deleted from the screen. But after all, someone saw someone named Wei Mulan and immediately replied: "Of course!"

At this time, Wei Mulan was also in Liaodong, having conquered the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now that she was running the place with so much work to do, she didn't have to follow Lu Xiangsheng to fight everywhere like before, so one of her entertainment activities in the evening was to go to the chat group and read gossip. As a result, Zhang Wu's statement was noticed by her even though others did not pay attention to it.

However, Wei Mulan's words were quickly deleted, which made her a little annoyed. She even deleted two messages and said: "Everyone, be quiet. If you have something important to say, please stop chatting!"

Not to mention, her words were very effective, and the main chat group area suddenly became quiet.

When Wei Mulan saw it, he immediately took the time to speak: "Zhang Wu, what do you mean by this? What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Zhang Wu couldn't help but feel very grateful to Wei Mulan, and quickly replied: "The villain is looking for a living in Luzon, and the Spaniards here seem to want to massacre us Ming people again."

"Think again? What does this mean?" Wei Mulan asked quickly.

At this time, someone intervened and said: "What massacre? It's scary to death. Could it be that you and Xiyi have a conflict? At worst, the Ming Dynasty will come back!"

"That's right, who dares to massacre our Ming people now?" someone else said.

If something similar happened, it wasn't just the two of them, but after a while, there was a tendency to swipe the screen again.

When Wei Mulan saw it, she knew something was wrong, so she sent two more messages: "Important, important: everyone, stop talking and listen to his explanation!"

At the same time, she was also a little annoyed. What a coincidence. Tomorrow the emperor would notice that his achievement points had dropped. As a result, at this moment, she had no achievement points at all. Otherwise, she would not have been disturbed if she had not chatted with this person privately.

Fortunately, both of her messages worked. No one spoke, and Zhang Wu was given another chance, and Zhang Wu said: "No, in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the Spaniards slaughtered all the Ming people in Luzon, at least nearly 30,000 Ming people died. Now there are signs that the Spaniards want to massacre us again like last time. There are also 30,000 people in Luzon Island now!"

While he was saying this, Emperor Chongzhen was getting ready to go to bed, and as usual, he went online.
