Chongzhen Chat Group

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw the news.

The people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered by the Portuguese finally had their whereabouts. After the crisis in Luzon was resolved, they could send troops to Temasek to destroy the Liu Xiang pirates and, by the way, conquer the Strait of Malacca.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said to Zhang Wu: "I understand. Please tell Liang Xiaozhen that the news reported this time is very good. You can serve the Dongchang Banyu and serve the court wholeheartedly!"

After Zhang Wu heard this, he was envious in his heart, Dongchang Fanyi, that is a legendary existence!

…

In the room, Liang Xiaozhen kept staring at Zhang Wu. After a while, when she saw him coming back to his senses, she couldn't help but stare at Zhang Wu with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

I saw Zhang Wu looking at him, and suddenly he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, the emperor has said it himself, from now on you will be the Dongchang fan!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaozhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. Dongchang Banyu, this is a formal status, which means that from now on, he has been cleansed and is a member of the imperial court. And he's not just any ordinary person, he's the famous Dongchang fan!

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Liang Xiaozhen also clasped her fists with a smile on her face. If it weren't for Zhang Wu's help, he wouldn't have had this status. "I wonder if the emperor has any other instructions?"

When Zhang Wuyi heard this, he also smiled and said: "Of course..."

They were talking in the room, and the people in the meeting hall outside were also talking, but the atmosphere was completely different!

Just listen to Li Jiacheng summarizing: "Then let's do it. No matter what, money is something external to the body. If you don't take it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death! Let's persuade other people to pool money together and ask Mr. Liu to lead troops to rescue us as soon as possible. Bar!"

"Oh, this is the only way!" Whitebeard sighed and said, "If the imperial court can really come to save us, the money we have worked hard for a lifetime will not have to be given to others in vain!"

After hearing his words, the people in the meeting hall couldn't help but fell silent. It is really wishful thinking to expect the imperial court to come to rescue! How many officials have there been in the past dynasties who love the people like their own children? Since I am still overseas, it is even more impossible for those officials and the court to worry about it!

While they were sighing, they suddenly saw Liang Xiaozhen walking out. Immediately, the people headed by the Li family all greeted her with flattering smiles. Among them, Li Jiacheng said humbly: "We have decided, the third head of the family, that we will give this money to..."

However, what all of them didn't expect was that Liang Xiaozhen had a sullen face and said loudly as if she was a little annoyed: "Damn it, the court really sent troops! No, this matter must be reported to the boss in time. But fortunately, the boss The main force of the family is still in Temasek, otherwise it would be terrible if we encounter the imperial navy..."

While saying this, he pushed everyone away a little fiercely, walked out of the hall, and walked away.

Li Jiacheng and others were dumbfounded! They couldn't believe their ears, so the fat man looked at the others in surprise and asked, "Just now...just now the Third Master said...that the imperial court really sent reinforcements?"

When Whitebeard heard this, he nodded and said with the same surprise on his face: "I thought I heard it wrong, but I didn't expect that you also heard the third master saying that the imperial court had sent reinforcements!"

The others also nodded, all unanimously affirming that the Third Master had indeed said just now that the imperial court had sent troops, and he would report it to Master Liu as soon as possible.

Confirming this matter made the people present even more confused: The imperial court sent reinforcements to rescue the Ming people in Luzon. Is this... is this true?

At this moment, they saw Zhang Wu coming out. Suddenly, they all gathered around and started asking excitedly.

"You said the imperial court sent reinforcements. Is this true?"

"What did you just say to the Third Master? He even believed that the imperial court had sent reinforcements!"

"..."

Zhang Wu looked at the excited faces. For some reason, what he saw was that behind the excitement expressed on these faces, it was like an orphan who was suddenly told that he had a family. At this moment, he thought about his previous self and couldn't help but feel the same way.

In this way, he didn't care at all about the reprimands given by these people before, but answered immediately. However, the chatter around him affected his speech.

"Everyone, everyone, everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet!" Li Jiacheng stretched out his hands to push the person in front of Zhang Wu away, leaving room for Zhang Wu, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to Lao Zhang!"

"Yes, yes, yes, what did Brother Zhang say? The court really sent reinforcements for us?" Fatty also quickly agreed.

Suddenly, the meeting hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Wu. The treatment he received now was completely different from the treatment he received just now! Not only has the title changed, but it also carries a sense of respect.

Zhang Wu felt all this, but his attitude was very serious and he said: "I just told the third master the specific situation, and he concluded that I didn't lie!"

"What's the specific situation? Tell me about it?" Fatty asked curiously as soon as he heard it.

The others also nodded, with even more anticipation in their eyes.

Li Jiacheng separated the crowd, stretched out his hand and said: "Lao Zhang, come sit down and talk."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and shouted: "Why are you still standing there, make tea quickly, make fragrant tea!"

When they heard this, everyone discovered that because Zhang Wu was the later discussant, everyone else had tea in front of them, except for Zhang Wu's original seat.

Zhang Wu didn't care about this, so he followed Li Jiacheng's words and went to the table to finish the work. Immediately, a group of people surrounded the table. Even the butler at the foot of the steps unconsciously walked up the steps and leaned towards the table.

Faced with the expectations of so many people, Zhang Wu told the truth: "The current emperor is a wise and promising king. The captives in the north of the Ming Dynasty have been pacified..."

He briefly talked about the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, and then looked at everyone and asked: "Do you know why Mr. Liu Da suddenly came to Nanyang?"

Everyone didn't know. Some shook their heads, some were silent, and some directly urged: "Lao Zhang, don't make people's appetites exciting, just tell me!"

"It was because the emperor issued an order to open the sea and mobilized the Denglai Navy and the Fujian Navy to work together. The pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were beaten until they could no longer stay, so they came to Southeast Asia. And there was also the Dutchman there. People know, right? They were also wiped out by the imperial court! Only a few people escaped back to Nanyang! This is confirmed by the third master. "

When Zhang Wu said this, he saw the people watching him, all with their mouths wide open without knowing it. It was obvious that they were all shocked by the news he told. He felt a little proud, so he continued: "Years ago, over in Annan, the Portuguese encouraged the Ruan family to rebel, so the imperial court sent troops over, and they happened to occupy Annan! So sending troops to Luzon is not a particularly far thing!"

"Those pirates who fled to Nanyang from the coast of Ming Dynasty were frightened by the imperial court, so when the third master heard the news, he believed it and rushed back to report the news!" Zhang Wu said this and solemnly emphasized, "The emperor has said before that if the people of the Ming Dynasty overseas are bullied, the Ming Dynasty will never sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely make decisions for the people of the Ming Dynasty overseas! This time when they heard that we were in trouble, they immediately began to dispatch troops and generals to help us. It’s up to you!”

After he stopped speaking, the meeting hall suddenly became quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the movement coming from outside.

After a while, the fat man wiped his saliva and said excitedly: "That's amazing, my Daming!"

Whitebeard, with tears in his eyes, murmured to himself: "The Holy King is born, the Holy King is born, we finally have expectations and finally have a family!"

Li Jiacheng was also very excited and said with emotion: "The current Holy Emperor is comparable to Cheng Zu! I hope I can see the grand occasion back then!"

During the Chengzu period, Zheng He went to the Western Seas. At that time, among the overseas countries, no one dared to disobey or disrespect the Ming Dynasty! The people of the Ming Dynasty are superior to others overseas! Not like now, everything is precarious!

In Juyi Hall, everyone was very emotional for a moment. At this time, they seemed to have found a home and a backbone.

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Wu was also very excited and immediately said to them: "So, what we have to do now is to hold on as much as possible and wait for the imperial reinforcements to arrive!"

"Yes, yes, as long as we persist until the imperial army arrives, we will be proud and proud!" The fat man said excitedly, "Haha, this money has been saved too!"

When Whitebeard heard this, he immediately shook his head and said seriously: "The imperial army has come from afar, so we must do our best and pay some money!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to pay for it!" Others immediately echoed, all smiling happily. At least, they paid this money voluntarily, and it would not go to the extent of draining their family wealth.

At this moment, Li Jiacheng suddenly heard an "ahhh" sound. Immediately, the meeting hall fell into silence. Most people looked at him, a little worried, fearing that Li Jiacheng would find some flaw and shatter their good expectations!

Li Jiacheng seemed a little frightened and said, "I remember, the third boss said just now that Liu Xiang's main force is still in Temasek! This bastard is really a robber, and he wants to get so much money for nothing!"

"What do you mean?" Fatty asked a little confused when he heard this.

Others didn't understand either, but Whitebeard seemed to have figured it out, while Zhang Wu looked like it was natural. Because he keeps insisting that none of these pirates are good! They are used to killing people and setting fires, but they still think they can change their nature and become Bodhisattvas? This is simply impossible!

Li Jiacheng looked at the fat man and answered his question: "Liu Xiang's main force is still in Temasek so far away. Knowing that Luzon is in danger, if he really wanted to save us, would the main force still stay in his hometown? These three people The master comes and goes, and if he sets off from his old nest again, our bones will be cold!"

At this point, he sneered and said: "Haha, you made a good calculation, collected so much money, and then after we are all killed, we will probably say that it's not that he doesn't want to save, but that we can't wait for him to save! "

After hearing what he said, everyone in the Juyi Hall immediately cursed Liu Xiang and these pirates.

"A robber is a robber, and a dog can't change its habit of eating shit!"

"Fortunately, the imperial court sent reinforcements, otherwise we might have been fooled by this pirate!"

"..."

After scolding for a while, they began to discuss how to unite their compatriots and wait until the imperial army arrived.

At the same time, natives from all over the countryside, led by their leaders, drove towards Manila one after another. Knowing what they were going to do, everyone was smiling happily.

"Those Ming people are the richest. Killing people and grabbing money is the most satisfying thing!"

"No, according to what my grandfather said back then, Mingren's house is full of good things. If you rob them once, you will earn more than we have earned in half a lifetime of hard work!"

"There are also women. Akito's women are much more beautiful than ours. It's just a pity that after playing with them, they can only be killed!"

"..."

Not only them, but also people from the Japanese country. Some of them came all the way from the Japanese country to Manila to serve God and were Catholics in the Japanese country. At this time, they all happily gathered at the Governor's Mansion, about five hundred of them.

"Those wise men all know how to make money! They are also very frugal and frugal. Now it's better. If you grab it later, you will have more money!"

"吆西密西, the flower girl wants it too!"

"Kill them all, burn them all, rob them all!"

"..."

The situation in Manila is becoming increasingly serious.

In the original history, when the Spaniards carried out their first massacre, they lied to the Ming Dynasty a month in advance that they were going on an expedition and lacked iron tools, so they purchased iron tools at a high price. As a result, the Ming Dynasty even took out their cutting knives. So, when the massacre began a month later, there was not even a piece of iron, and they were truly defenseless.

This time, the Spaniards were not stupid enough to perform such a show again. They knew that if they continued to do so, it would be equivalent to telling Akito what they were going to do a month in advance!

However, in order to ensure that all the Ming people in Luzon could be slaughtered, the Spaniards mobilized more indigenous people, Japanese pirates, etc. It is expected that relying on their numbers and the advancement of their equipment, they can still massacre all the Ming people in Luzon.

However, they did not expect that the Ming people in Luzon at this time were no longer as scattered as before. Even the rich Ming people who originally thought about joining the Spanish and looking forward to being pardoned by the Spanish no longer think so.

Because at this time, they already have a backbone!

Because, at this time, they already know that there is a powerful motherland behind them!

The people in Luzon Island are also taking urgent action. United together, relying on various estates, prepared to hold on.

Moreover, in every large manor, a flag was raised, the national flag of Ming Dynasty!

The Spaniards have their national flag, and now we Luzon Ming people also have our own national flag!

Of course, this flag was not specially given by Emperor Chongzhen, but what Zhang Wu saw in the photo. Maybe people in China wouldn’t pay much attention to it, but when Zhang Wu saw it overseas, he immediately felt a sense of recognition and felt that this must be made and hung in various manors!

Thanks to Hope Heaven for the reward! I will write 2,000 words in the morning, one chapter at 5pm, and then publish another 2,000 words after get off work. The second chapter will have to wait until the evening. Tomorrow weekend, I can catch up on the progress.
