Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 1194 Crisis and opportunity

Temasek, later known as Singapore, was controlled by the Liu Heang Group during this period. A lot of people gathered in the Juyi Hall inside the walled city. It can be said that almost all the leaders of Liu Xiang's pirate group are here.

At this time, the atmosphere in Juyi Hall was very serious, or in other words, a bit heavy. At least you can tell something from the expressions of the people in the hall.

These bosses, big and small, are listening to the spies' reports.

"The Mughal Empire to the west of Dongwu sent troops to attack the Tang State, but as soon as they entered the territory of the Tang State, their entire army was killed and wiped out. The Ming army also took the opportunity to counterattack and captured almost twice the territory of the Tang State." The spy led. He said with a shocked look, "I heard from the locals that the Ming army was very powerful and invincible. Even the great Shah Jahan was afraid. The country was lost, but he didn't dare to ask the Ming Dynasty to get it back..."

His news was basically true, but it was much more exaggerated than the actual content. It wasn't that he meant to scare these big and small bosses, but when he heard it, he didn't know which piece of news it was. Bangladesh was originally very panicked, and there were already exaggerated claims. After several retellings, this degree of exaggeration is no longer surprising.

After hearing such news and hearing how powerful Ming Dynasty was, it was strange that Liu Xiang and others felt better. Even if they knew that the news was exaggerated, it still made Liu Xiang and the others feel extremely heavy!

After the spy finished talking about the Mughal Empire, he started talking about things in the east: "The army united by Ruan Fuyuan and Xiyi was frightened by the Ming army. Later, they did not dare to fight with the Ming army at all. When fighting, they just ran away. However, their fighting power is still very strong. At least they fought against Nanzhang and Angkor Dynasty, and they were devastating, without any effort at all."

"When the villain came back, he heard that the coalition forces had fled to the southernmost seaside. There was no place to escape, and they were finally forced to kill each other. The Annan people killed all the Fulangji people and surrendered to the Ming army. "

Hearing this, a pirate leader breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, they did not continue to flee south. Otherwise, if they fled all the way to our Temasek, the imperial army might keep chasing us, which would be a big trouble!"

He was relieved, but Liu Xiang frowned even more after hearing this. The imperial court has issued a wanted order for people like themselves, who must be exterminated. Even if we don’t pursue the Annan people to Temasek this time, what if we turn around and take the initiative to send troops along the coast to attack Temasek?

Thinking like this, something suddenly moved in his mind, and he immediately leaned forward, stared at the spies and asked: "Those Annan people surrendered to the Ming army, what was the result? How did the Ming army place them?"

Hearing this, almost all the leaders in the Juyi Hall were in high spirits. Just like Liu Xiang, they stared at the spies. They wanted to know what the imperial court was going to do with these Annan people who surrendered.

To be honest, they felt a little panicked after hearing the news about Ming Dynasty's power. Now he has fled to Nanyang. If Ming Dynasty becomes more powerful, there is a great possibility that it will chase Temasek!

If those Annan people surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and were spared by the imperial court, not to mention others, even Liu Xiang would be a little tempted to surrender to the imperial court. Otherwise, I would be on tenterhooks all day long, fearing that the imperial navy would show up in Temasek. It would be okay if those red barbarians could unite to deal with the imperial court, but the key point is that those red barbarians would not shed tears until they saw the coffin, and they did not think that the imperial court could pose a threat to them at all!

It is for this reason that they are very concerned about the final fate of the Annamites.

"I heard that Ruan Fuyuan surrendered to the court with the head of Fo Langji and countless gold and silver jewelry!" When the spy said this, he found that the leaders were listening more carefully, so he spoke a little louder and continued, "However, Ruan Fuyuan and some of the leaders were still punished by Ming Zhengdian. Their men were taken to build roads. It is said that road construction is very dangerous and deaths are common!"

After he finished speaking, the Juyi Hall became very quiet. He could see disappointment on the faces of many leaders.

Liang Xiaozhen also noticed it, but with a roll of his eyes, he scolded the spy: "Don't keep hearing about it. Is this news true?"

When the other leaders heard this, they suddenly became energetic, just like a person who was about to die suddenly regaining consciousness, and they all questioned the spies.

"Damn it, the person who sent you to find out the news just heard and heard. Is there any real news?"

"The Annan people sold all the Folangji people and gave them countless gold, silver and jewels. How could the court be so heartless? Are you making a mistake?"

"..."

When the spy heard this, he became anxious and quickly replied: "It is impossible for me to go back to China to verify these news. But I guarantee that these news are absolutely true."

The transportation in this era is so poor that it is impossible to verify everything in person. Liu Xiang understood this in his heart, so he did not pursue this aspect any further. Instead, he frowned and asked in annoyance, "What else is there?"

With his questioning, the news basically came to a conclusion to the spy. This disappointed the other leaders. It seemed that there was no point in surrendering to the court.

In fact, it was not just them, even Liu Xiang had this idea just now. If possible, it would be a good way out to share some of the property looted over the years with the imperial court in exchange for recruitment. It's just a pity that there is no such cheap thing!

They were each thinking about their own thoughts. The spy replied to Liu Xiang: "The villain also heard a news that the original places of Nanzhang and Angkor seem to be divided into vassal kings. It is said that the possibility is at least 80%. !”

At this point, the spy finally finished talking about the information he had obtained, and then he lowered his hands and waited for the boss's inquiry.

But in the Juyi Hall, all the pirate leaders, big and small, had no intention of speaking. They all had gloomy faces, either lowering their heads and thinking about something, or turning their heads to look at the leader, wanting to hear Liu Xiang's opinion.

However, Liu Xiang himself kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, and had no intention of speaking at all. But you can tell from his face that he is definitely not in a good mood.

"Master, the situation seems to be getting worse and worse for us!" Liang Xiaozhen, the third master, broke the silence in the Juyi Hall first and said to Liu Xiang, "The Ming army in Luzon is getting worse and worse. The more there are, and the news has been confirmed, it is to grant King Yi over. In this way, Luzon will be the place of the Ming Dynasty from now on. Now Angkor and Annan are also vassal states, and this Nanyang is no longer safe!"

After hearing this, Liu Xiang looked up at him with a worried look on his face. Suddenly, he sighed and said a little angrily: "What the hell is the current emperor doing? An An is just like the previous emperors, just looking after the domestic affairs." Isn’t it good?”

"I heard that the current emperor is so wise and powerful that he pacified the Jianlu." Liang Xiaozhen also looked worried, but she was definitely not feeling worried in her heart. She continued to talk about the facts that these pirates did not want to think of, "There is nothing going on in the north. Turn your eyes to the south. It seems reasonable.”

"Isn't there still Mongolia in the north? Isn't the emperor afraid of the Mongolian rebellion?" A pirate leader couldn't help but interject after hearing this.

Although they are all from the south, they have also heard of the Mongols on the northern grasslands. At least the demise of the Central Plains dynasty was almost all caused by the peoples on the grasslands. Over the years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has had countless grievances and grievances with the Mongols.

"Yes, that dog emperor is really full." Another pirate leader also responded angrily, "People from places as far away as the South Seas have reached out. If you have such leisure, you might as well spend more time on the grassland. Come on, guarding against those Mongols is a serious matter!"

Hearing this, he saw several leaders nodding. The standing spy hesitated for a moment and then said: "I also heard that the country has just granted amnesty to the whole country and celebrated with the country! It is said..."

"A crown prince? Or some other woman gave birth to a puppy for a dog emperor?" A leader was impatient and interrupted him, "It's none of our business!"

Isn't it okay to swear at the emperor without being offered a job? Anyway, I’m in a bad mood!

"No, it's not about setting up a prince or giving birth to a son of a bitch!" When the spy heard this, he quickly replied, "I heard that the imperial army went deep into Mobei and took away all the Mongolian nests. Then they returned to the Tianshan Mountains and took what Karkar The Ka tribe was also wiped out. The other Oirat Mongols surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and became ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The court also wanted to set up Mobei Province, a new province or something like that. Anyway, it sounds like that means that on the grassland, regardless of the southeast, northwest, They have all been pacified by the Ming Dynasty, and there will never be any Mongolian disasters like before in the future!"

"..." The pirate leaders in Juyi Hall, big and small, all looked up and stared at the spies with shock on their faces. Could even Mongolia be pacified?

In their minds, the grassland is as endless as the sea. The imperial court could deal with one pirate, but it could not eradicate all pirates. The same principle applies to grasslands. Unexpectedly, the Mongolian problem, which has never been solved, would be solved by the current emperor? This is something that no emperor has ever solved in all dynasties!

If this is the case, it is no wonder that the imperial court began to reach out to Southeast Asia. The current emperor is really free!

Thinking of this, the faces of Liu Xiang and other pirate leaders became even uglier. One can imagine how bad their moods were at this time.

However, Liang Xiaozhen still wanted to rub salt into their wounds. He broke the silence again and said to Liu Xiang: "There are so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that they will all be sealed away. Then Nanyang There is only so much land here, wouldn’t it all be granted to the vassal king?”

Upon hearing this, all the pirate leaders in the Juyi Hall had a look of despair on their faces. If this is the case, sooner or later the imperial court will send an army to exterminate people like him!

Fight, can you beat the Ming Dynasty? If this was really the case, why would he come all the way to Nanyang? Escape, now that you have escaped so far, where else can you escape? If you run away again, you will get further and further away from your roots!

In the Juyi Hall, there were heavy clouds of sorrow, and all the pirates, big and small, were worried about their future!

After a while, Liu Xiang suddenly thought of something, pointed at Liang Xiaozhen and said, "You just said that all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will be sent to Nanyang, right?"

He spoke suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. But everyone didn't understand. What did the leader mean by asking this?

Liang Xiaozhen was no exception. She was a little confused about what Liu Xiang meant, so she replied thoughtfully: "I also made a guess. You see, the boss, Lu Song was granted the title of King of Yi, Dong Wu was granted the title of King of Tang, and Annan was granted the title of King of Tang. King Fu, now Nanzhang and Angkor want to grant vassal kings again. Looking at this situation, it seems that they want to grant all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, don’t you think?"

After hearing this, Liu Xiang seemed a little excited. She actually stood up from her seat, rubbed her hands together, paced back and forth a few times, then stood still and said to Liang Xiaozhen: "I think you are right, yes, you It’s definitely right.”

Having said this, he turned around and glanced at the people in the Juyi Hall, and said to them: "The Ming Dynasty will definitely seal out all the vassal kings. There is no doubt about this. Everyone must admit this. When you go out in the future, others will ask , we must tell this fact!"

"Master, what do you mean?" One of the leaders didn't understand. Judging from what the master meant, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty had sealed off all the vassal kings, and he seemed very happy and happy!

Seeing everyone staring at him, Liu Xiang felt that his IQ was still above everyone else, so he explained with a hint of excitement: "It is clear that Ming Dynasty wants to seal so many vassal kings to If you come from Nanyang, you must take over the territory in Nanyang? Now these territories are all owned by owners! In this case, can't everyone unite and resist the imperial court together? "

Upon hearing this, all the pirates' eyes suddenly lit up. yes! We need to tell this matter. In this way, whether it is the monkeys in Nanyang or the Western barbarians, they will definitely not be reconciled. When the time comes, if everyone unites together, won't they have the strength to fight against the imperial court?

Thinking of this, some pirate leaders also shouted: "Over in Luzon, the Ming army is massacring and arresting those monkeys. We can also talk about this matter everywhere and say that the court wants to kill all the monkeys!"

Before this, they had actually heard about Luzon. At that time, they felt that those monkeys could kill the people of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the people of the Ming Dynasty are stronger, they should kill them in turn. Don't be too normal.

However, at this moment, they didn't see it that way. One by one they screamed, seeming to be particularly aggrieved by the monkeys in Luzon.

Liu Xiang was also happy after hearing this. Sure enough, brainstorming was still useful. He immediately discussed with these people again, and finally came up with a great solution.

It’s hard to say whether I will work overtime tonight or not, because I don’t know until what time I will have to get off work overtime before I can get off work.
