Chongzhen Chat Group

As soon as she heard this, Liang Xiaozhen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart, she was almost frightened. In fact, if you think about it, no one in Nanyang is as powerful as our own. If anyone is short-sighted and dares to steal Mr. Liu's business, let's see what price he will pay!

Others were greatly disappointed. They were disappointed in the blink of an eye, and their emotions fluctuated. This made them very angry, and some people immediately reprimanded them.

"The hairdresser is talking in his sleep! When will the court take care of those of us who go to sea?"

"Yes, in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, so many Ming people died. Did the court take care of it? Do you expect the court? The sun is really going to rise from the west!"

"In the eyes of the imperial court, those of us who go to sea are all merchants with low status. Do you understand? That's what the imperial court's official documents say! Does it care whether we live or die? Stop daydreaming!"

"I'm talking about getting a haircut, aren't you so scared that you lost your mind? I was so scared that I felt a little strange before. Now that I'm stupid, you dare to say that the imperial court has sent reinforcements? What a big joke! "

"..."

After listening to so many reprimands, Zhang Wu was surprisingly lifeless. Because he can relate to it. Just before yesterday, if someone said this, he himself would not believe it.

Therefore, he raised his hands to signal them to be quiet. Although the effect of his action was not good and few people paid attention to him, his voice was lowered anyway. Zhang Wu was not particular about it and immediately raised his voice and said: "That's all I said. Really, as long as we can persist, the imperial court has a large army in Annan and has already come to rescue us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise suddenly became louder!

"What a liar! There is a court army in Annan? Are you dreaming?"

"You're talking seriously! Even if you have to make it up, can you make it up more reliably?"

"Yes, and besides, could the imperial court know in advance that the Spaniards were going to attack us and that we were in trouble, so they sent troops here? Do you think it's the one next door to your house, and you can just shout to greet them?"

"..."

Among them, Li Jiacheng didn't say anything, because he had a large business and many sources of information, and he also heard some news, indicating that the Ming Dynasty army seemed to have captured Annan. He was a little surprised. This barber was cutting hair in his shop all day long. How could he know this? Logically speaking, there should be very few people who know this news!

Seeing that almost everyone was accusing him of being a liar, Zhang Wu became a little anxious and swore loudly: "What I said is absolutely true. If there is even the slightest bit of falsehood, God will strike with thunder and you will die a good death! "

Or maybe he was a little surprised by his expression and words, so the noisy meeting hall suddenly became quieter.

Seeing this, Zhang Wu took the time to explain: "Really, I reported it to the emperor. When the emperor learned that we were in trouble, he immediately sent troops..."

Before he could finish his words, the meeting hall that had just fallen silent suddenly became noisy again.

"Reporting to the emperor, is it the person named Huang?"

"Come on, there is a madman here, get rid of him quickly!"

"..."

This time, Li Jiacheng, who was a little suspicious at first, was no longer suspicious. He thought in his heart that he was a lunatic. He happened to be right about Annan, so he almost believed it!

And Zhang Wu looked a little stupid when he saw all this. When he told the truth, no one believed him!

But he turned around and thought about it, and understood immediately. Because they don't know that their motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes. The current emperor is different from all the previous emperors! They still look at Ming Dynasty with the same old eyes. No wonder they don’t understand!

But this made Zhang Wu worried. What should he say to make them believe it?

However, before he could come up with a solution, Li Jiacheng stopped everyone from venting their emotions. Instead, he stopped in front of Liang Xiaozhen and said very sincerely: "Third leader, can you give us half a day? There are several wealthy businessmen, and now We still hope that the Spaniards will probably not pay. Give us some time and let us talk."

"Yes, Third Boss, even if we agree, we still have to have this time to collect the money!" White Beard also stood in front of Liang Xiaozhen, almost pleading.

The fat man also pushed forward to block the road. He was afraid that Liang Xiaozhen would leave, so he begged: "Third Leader, for the sake of your compatriots, can you give me some more time?"

Before Liang Xiaozhen said anything, she heard Zhang Wu interject again: "To ask for so much money is obviously the nature of a robber. He's here to steal money..."

Hearing his words, everyone in the room immediately became angry. They immediately turned to look at Zhang Wu and began to yell and curse.

"Who stole the money? Don't talk nonsense, it is customary to withdraw money!"

"Shut up, who is the robber? The court is the robber!"

"Yes, it is better for us to trust Mr. Liu than the imperial court!"

"..."

Some of them shouted and cursed angrily, most of them were afraid that the Third Master would be angry when they heard it.

However, what they never expected was that instead of being angry, Liang Xiaozhen showed a puzzled look, pushed aside the people who were blocking him, walked up to Zhang Wu, and asked curiously: "Are you from the East Factory of the Imperial Court? "

This question stunned everyone present, including Zhang Wu himself, and then shook his head subconsciously.

"So are you from Jinyiwei?" Liang Xiaozhen asked again after hearing this.

Zhang Wu still heard vaguely and shook his head, but this time he asked: "What do you mean?"

Liang Xiaozhen still looked confused and did not answer his question. Instead, she asked again: "Then how can you contact the court immediately, Your Majesty?"

Their conversation made the entire meeting hall seem very quiet. Li Jiacheng and others looked at Zhang Wu and then at Liang Xiaozhen, feeling that they could not understand.

"Can't say!" Zhang Wu was a little suspicious of the pirate in front of him. Could he know about the chat group? Thinking like this, he added, "Anyway, I can contact the emperor. Even if the emperor fails, I can still contact the chief minister, or the governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong..."

Crazy, crazy again! This is the common thought of everyone in the chamber, but Liang Xiaozhen is not included.

Although he was still a little skeptical, he knew that there were people with such ability in Dongchang or Jinyiwei.

Liang Xiaozhen was captured by Dongchang before and was released as an insider. Although no one suspected him, he didn't even dare to sleep with others for fear that he would lose his head if he said something he shouldn't have said in his dream. of. Now that he saw a person with such magical ability, he was attracted by it.

So, he turned his head and looked at it, and then said to Li Jiacheng: "Executive member Li, this person is talking garbled and confused. I have something to ask, please give me a quiet room!"

what's the situation? After everyone listened, a crow flew over their heads, carrying a series of question marks.

Although he couldn't understand Liang Xiaozhen's intention, Li Jiacheng immediately agreed. No matter what the third master wanted to ask the barber, at least he would not leave for the time being, so that they would have a chance to discuss it again.

So, they once again discussed collecting money in the meeting hall. This was also a last resort. In terms of money and life, life was more valuable after all, although this money could leave them with almost nothing. But Liang Xiaozhen took Zhang Wu, who was also a little confused, to a remote and quiet room.

In the room, Liang Xiaozhen immediately closed the door as soon as Zhang Wuyi entered. Even before closing the door, he stretched his head to see if anyone outside might hear what was being said in the room. His behavior made Zhang Wu who was standing in the room very puzzled. He didn't know what it meant to be so mysterious and sneaky.

After closing the door, Liang Xiaozhen's attitude improved a lot. She was not as arrogant as she was in the meeting hall just now. At least she had an equal attitude. She led Zhang Wu to the back of the room with a smile, and then asked Zhang Wu: "You said you could directly contact people from the Ming Dynasty. Are you serious?"

Zhang Wu found out from his words and deeds that it seemed that the third master might believe his words. He couldn't help but be a little curious. At the same time, he nodded vigorously and said: "Of course, I have sworn that this is true!"

After hearing this, Liang Xiaozhen rolled her eyes and asked, "Is it true that you said the imperial court would send troops to Luzon?"

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Wu nodded without hesitation, but he immediately remembered that the person in front of him was the third boss of Liu Xiang's pirate gang, and was an enemy of the imperial court, so he immediately became vigilant, stared at Liang Xiaozhen and asked Said, "What do you want to do?"

Liu Xiang's power, in their opinion, is not unpowerful. At that time, the swarm was so huge that even the Spaniards were nervous about it. After all, there are Dutch people standing behind these pirates, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

If they knew that the imperial court was going to send troops to Luzon, would they do something wrong? After all, they are pirates!

Thinking like this, Zhang Wu decided to shut up and let Liang Xiaozhen guess. But he didn't expect that Liang Xiaozhen's next words would surprise him.

Just listen to Liang Xiaozhen whisper: "I believe you, I am from Dongchang, can you help me contact the factory owner?"

After Zhang Wulu was stunned for a while, he confirmed in a low voice and surprise: "You...are you a Dongchang fan?"

In fact, Liang Xiaozhen is not a Dongchang fan, but just an insider in Dongchang's hands. But at this time, he nodded, and then asked: "Can you help me contact the factory owner? I have news to report."

While speaking, one of his hands had already touched the dagger in his sleeve. If Zhang Wu was just lying, he wouldn't mind killing someone and silencing him.

After hearing this, Zhang Wu shook his head and said: "I don't know what the factory owner is. I just said that I can work with the emperor and the chief minister..."

Seeing him shaking his head, Liang Xiaozhen almost pulled out the dagger in her sleeve. However, when he heard him speak and said that he could contact the emperor, the chief assistant held his breath again. Wouldn't it be better if he could directly establish a relationship with the emperor?

Thinking of this, there was a kind of eagerness in his eyes, and he immediately asked Zhang Wudao: "Then can you help contact the emperor? I, Liang Xiaozhen, the third boss of the Liu Xiang bandit, was lurking under the orders of the factory owner, and I have important information to report. .”

Zhang Wu was a little confused after hearing this. These three leaders were actually from the imperial court? He doesn't believe it! But when he saw Liang Xiaozhen's expression, it felt like it was true, so he nodded and said, "Then let me try it!"

So, under the attention of Liang Xiaozhen, Zhang Wu entered the chat group. In the "Luzon Crisis" chat group, he followed the example of the previous chief minister and said: " @Pure to save all sentient beings, Your Majesty, there is a person named Liang Xiaozhen , is the third boss of Liu Xiang Pirates, he is said to be lurking under the order of the factory owner, and now he has important news to report."

Several people saw his words, but Emperor Chongzhen was also @arrived, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the news. Wang Chengen was responsible for what happened in the past, but he really didn't know very well.

Liu Xiang's group of pirates were driven to Nanyang in a planned way. Now that there is news, he is naturally interested in knowing it. But before that, he still pulled Wang Chengen into the temporary group, and then asked: "Wang Daban, the person you sent to lurk with the Liu Xiang pirates is named Liang Xiaozhen?"

When Wang Chengen saw it, he was stunned at first, feeling a bit sudden, but naturally he would not hide anything when the emperor asked him, and immediately replied: "My servant caught him in Fujian before..."

He explained the situation and proved that Liang Xiaozhen was indeed sent back to lurk by him. After completing the task of guiding the pirates into Nanyang, he almost forgot about Liang Xiaozhen. He didn't expect that the emperor would find out about it now. It was really unexpected. !

After Emperor Chongzhen confirmed that such a thing had happened, he asked: "What's the news?"

Zhang Wu was also confirmed in the group, so he apologized, quit the chat group and asked: "The emperor called the factory owner to prove that you are there. What is the news?"

When Liang Xiaozhen heard that she could go up to heaven to listen, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly told the situation.

So, Zhang Wu reported to the group: "Returning to Your Majesty, Liang Xiaozhen said that after the Liu Xiang pirates came to Nanyang, they attacked the Portuguese entrenched in the Strait of Malacca together with the Dutch, defeated them, and occupied Temasek. Later I learned that there was Many Ming people were taken here as slaves by the Portuguese, but now they are all working for Liu Xiang."

In the original history, the Portuguese had been at war with the indigenous people in the Strait of Malacca. However, later the Dutch, the Portuguese's mortal enemies, intervened to help the indigenous people fight against the Portuguese and compete for control of the Strait of Malacca. The situation was not conducive to the Portuguese. By the mid-seventeenth century, the Portuguese were finally driven out of the Strait of Malacca.

In this dimension, Liu Xiang and other pirates who went to Southeast Asia became friendly with the Dutch. After discussion, they went to fight the Portuguese in the Strait of Malacca together. The addition of this new force defeated the Portuguese in one fell swoop, and Liu Xiang and other pirates also had a stronghold in Nanyang.

After Liu Xiang occupied Temasek, he was ambitious and has been expanding his power. It happened that Malaysia in later generations was divided into many small countries. Therefore, Liu Xiang's pirate group sent people to plunder all over Malaysia Island and even killed them ashore. It was also because of this that Mingren in Luzon was able to contact the Liu Xiang pirate.
