Chapter 1195: Ming Threat Theory

This great method can be summed up in five words, namely: Ming Dynasty Threat Theory.

For the natives of Nanyang, you can exaggerate what happened in Luzon and tell them; for the Western Yi and the indigenous leaders of Nanyang, you can exaggerate and tell them what happened in Ming Dynasty overseas. ; In this way, all the forces in Nanyang will definitely be able to unite under the threat of the giant Ming. By that time, I don’t believe it. Can Ming still win the entire Nanyang?

With this method, all the pirate leaders, large and small, in Juyi Hall were in high spirits. With Liu Xiang's decision, everyone began to promote the Ming threat theory. After the meeting, they immediately went to various places and sent people to promote it as long as there was a bigger force.

At the end, Liu Xiang finally asked the many big and small bosses, with a bit of viciousness: "Whoever still has questions, just tell me quickly. After you leave this door, you have to do it according to my method. Whoever dares to have It's a secret, I recognize you as my brother, but the knife in my hand doesn't have eyes!"

The reason why he explained like this was that there was actually nothing he could do about it. Daming's power gave him a strong sense of crisis. Brothers are most afraid of being betrayed by their brothers.

Hearing what he said, everyone in the Juyi Hall fell silent. The pirates here are not actually Liu Xiang's direct descendants, but pirates from the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty who all fled to Nanyang and gathered together to form a pirate group headed by Liu Xiang.

After a while, when Liu Xiang thought that no one was speaking, a pirate in the corner asked with a little lack of confidence: "Master, I want to ask, it's just a question, there is no other meaning." !”

Everyone couldn't help but look over when they heard the sound, including Liu Xiang, who looked increasingly uneasy.

However, Liu Xiang forced a smile on his face to show his broadmindedness and said to the man: "If you fart, hurry up, everyone is waiting!"

"Yeah, if you fart, let it go!"

"Coquettishly, like a girl, are you looking for a rabbit?"

"..."

Hearing these foul words, the leader didn't feel any discomfort, because pirates like them usually don't say anything to anyone. I was just a little affected, but suddenly I heard him say angrily: "Shut up, everyone, the boss can hardly hear you!"

After calming down, I heard this man say to Liu Xiang: "Master, aren't those vassal kings building new kingdoms? I was thinking that when they are hiring people, do you think they will recruit us?"

No one expected that he would say such words. Suddenly, the Juyi Hall became very quiet, and the eyes of many pirate leaders lit up. If this were possible, wouldn't it be possible to clear his name?

However, before they had been daydreaming for a long time, they heard Liu Xiang speak loudly with a cold face, ruthlessly extinguishing their hopes: "Are you stupid, who is more powerful, the imperial court or the vassal king? We are wanted by the imperial court, Do those vassal kings dare to want us? Which vassal king dares to have such courage? Who will take those vassal kings seriously when they are all raised by pigs? Besides, didn't you see that Luzon is full of Ming troops? What? They won’t listen to the vassal king. Besides, do you think Zheng Yiguan will let us go?"

What is the situation of the new vassal king? Not to mention these pirates, even some domestic officials do not have a clear understanding.

But there is one thing that everyone agrees on. The vassal state established by this kind of vassal king is definitely different from the vassal state mentioned before.

In these vassal states where the vassal king had just become a vassal, the imperial court had the absolute final say. At least for a long period of time in the early stage, the vassal king would definitely not dare to go against the imperial court.

This is what Liu Xiang meant. After he finished speaking, he said sternly: "I tell you, the imperial navy in Nanyang is all led by Zheng Yiguan. We all eat his cunning and insidious ways." It’s too hard. So, the ugly talk is ahead, whoever dares to secretly contact the Ming Dynasty vassal king and others, and is tricked by Zheng Yiguan, and affects everyone, don’t blame me for being ruthless! "

After saying this, the Juyi Hall became very quiet. For a moment, no one spoke. They were all thinking carefully about Liu Xiang's words, or they were also thinking about Liu Xiang's threat.

Liu Xiang looked around at everyone in the lobby with cold eyes, using the majesty of his boss to oppress these people and prevent them from having any wrong ideas.

The reason why he did this was because he knew that it was actually possible for these leaders to surrender to the government and the vassal king. However, Liu Xiang, the second master, and the third master, who are more famous, definitely do not have this possibility. After all, their reputation was there, and they were captured by the emperor's order.

But asking Liu Xiang to leave all this behind and secretly find a place to hide his name was unacceptable to him who was used to being the master of all things. Moreover, if you sit in this position of being the head of the family, you will definitely have enemies, and you will be easily betrayed by others. Therefore, he can only continue to be his boss. And this was the fundamental reason why he wanted to prevent his subordinates from taking refuge in the imperial court and the vassal king.

After waiting for a while, sure enough, the second master, third master and others all started shouting and agreed with Liu Xiang's statement.

"The boss is right. Ruan Fuyuan killed the Francois and presented countless gold, silver and jewels. Of course he thought the court would let him go, but what happened? So don't take any chances!"

"Yes, whoever dares to cause trouble to everyone, we will not let him go!"

"..."

If someone takes the lead, others will follow suit. Otherwise, if Master Liu is watching, he might misunderstand something. As a result, Juyi Hall became lively again.

Liu Xiang is quite satisfied with this. He waited for a while and then clapped his hands.

"Papa pa pa"

As soon as this voice sounded, everyone looked over and shut up.

"Do any other brothers have any other questions?" Liu Xiang opened his eyes and looked at Juyi Hall and asked, "If not, that's it!"

When he said this, even if he still wanted to say something in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.

After waiting for a while, before anyone spoke, Liu Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, in that case, let's do what we said before! We brothers are of the same mind and will continue to enjoy the hot and spicy food!"

Upon hearing this, these pirate leaders all responded one after another, seeming to become proud again. Many people stood up and were ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang had something to say, and said "bah bang bang" again, and then he emphasized very solemnly: "Everyone, Daming threatens this matter, don't say what you have heard or heard, this is not a guess, you just take it as such." It’s really the same thing, do you understand?”

“Don’t worry, the boss, we know!”

"Yes, this must be true, let's just talk about the news our people brought from home!"

"..."

After hearing this, a group of pirate leaders started to boo. Then they dispersed like birds and beasts, and rushed to spread the "Ming Dynasty threat theory".

They don't know yet, but this time, they actually guessed it right. The Ming Dynasty's national power is now strong enough, so what if the feudal king's overseas feudal national policy is revealed?

But there is one thing that none of these pirates, including Liu Xiang, thought of. As they announced the "Ming Dynasty threat theory", another kind of statement was also spread. Especially among the Ming people in Nanyang, it is even more popular.

"You know, the imperial court actually sent troops to rescue the Ming people in Luzon. Otherwise, the Ming people in Luzon would have been slaughtered by the Western barbarians and natives again!"

"Yes, I heard that the imperial court rushed there as soon as it received the news, without any hesitation! Wow, the imperial court now is really different from before!"

"No, have you noticed that after the news about Luzon came out, those indigenous monkeys were much more polite to us!"

"Yes, the news from Luzon is that the native monkeys who have been kind to Luzon Mingren in the past, and who are guaranteed by Luzon Mingren, have nothing to do with them."

"..."

As for the actual situation in Luzon, the theory of the Ming threat has become popular again. From what happened in Luzon, Ming people in Nanyang felt the changes in the imperial court. Although some of the views derived from this were not stated publicly, many were discussed in private.

"We are trying to make a living under the hands of the natives (Western barbarians and pirates). It is really better to live under the rule of the imperial court. At least there are laws, right?"

"Yes, we were bullied in Nanyang, and there was never any reason to reason!"

"..."

When the Ming people in Nanyang heard the good news again and again in Ming Dynasty, many people were moved. When they came out to make a living, they were too poor to survive, or they were deceived by the "gold and silver mountains offered overseas". Only after they came out did they realize how good the country was, and many of them thought about forgetting about their hometowns. Anyway, the imperial court will not let those pirates go, but they, like the Luzon Ming people, will be fine.

This kind of remarks was also a temptation for Nanyang Mingren, so it spread very quickly. Wherever Akira was present, discussions were almost always taking place quietly.

Liu Xiang naturally knew nothing about it, so he couldn't help but get furious. He immediately issued an order and changed his statement, saying that the imperial court would not let all overseas Ming people be regarded as traitors.

However, this kind of lie cannot explain why the imperial court rescued Lu Song Ming and helped Lu Song Ming take revenge. And the people in Luzon are all living well. If even the people of the Ming Dynasty in Luzon are considered traitors, then what kind of King Yi from the imperial court is appointed to Luzon, is he just a bare vassal king?

Therefore, Liu Xiang's Ming threat theory should not be a threat to ordinary Ming people in Nanyang, but a hope. Of course, Liu Xiang would never have imagined that his third boss had a great contribution to this situation.

Private discussions among Nanyang Ming people are not limited to Temasek, but wherever there are Ming people, there are such discussions. Batavia is no exception.

Many of them even secretly went to Kapitan to confirm this.

When Su Minggang heard this, he realized the seriousness of this matter. The Dutch will definitely not and do not want to hear such remarks spread among Ming people. Therefore, he warned those Akito who came to him to stop discussing such matters.

In this regard, some people have opinions: "Mr. Su, you brought us to Batavia, saying that we can make more money here, and Xiyi treats us well. We always thought that your heart was in On our side. But what do you mean now? Could it be that the Dutch gave you a Kapitan, do you really think you are one of theirs?"

Kapitan was the leader of the Ming people appointed by the Dutch. He only had the power to manage the Ming people, but had no ability to discuss politics. To put it bluntly, he was just a dog used by the Dutch to manage the Ming people.

After Su Minggang heard such words, he had to explain: "The Dutch cannot like to hear such words. If you insist on doing this, I'm worried that you will cause unnecessary trouble! I am doing this for your own good! I have dealt with the Dutch a lot. I know them better than you do."

After hearing this explanation, those wise men finally agreed, and they were not stupid. However, they still had their own demands and said to Su Minggang: "Since this year, the Dutch have increased the work we have to do every day, but they do not give us more money. Many compatriots are exhausted. You are our leader, How about you go talk to the Dutch, we will all be exhausted if this continues, you have to give us a chance to breathe, right?"

Su Minggang had actually felt this requirement for a long time. He thought about it and finally agreed to talk about it for Akito.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why the Dutch had increased their workload this year and wanted to repair Batavia quickly was because they vaguely felt the threat of the Ming Dynasty. Now, Liu Xiang sent someone over to inform them of the latest situation in Ming Dynasty, which made the Dutch in Batavia feel even more in danger. They even thought about increasing Akito's workload, and then they would agree to the request to reduce the workload.

Therefore, instead of getting the consent of the Dutch, Su Minggang was reprimanded. In this regard, he was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that after doing so many things for the Dutch, he didn't even give them any reasonable requests. And those Mingren were even more disappointed. After this sentiment spread among the people of Ming Dynasty, more and more people did not want to work here anymore. They came to Su Minggang and made new requests: they wanted to go back to their hometown!

Su Minggang could understand this. Even he himself, as he got older, wanted to return to his hometown. After all, he is not a pirate, and the court will not pursue him for anything. Nowadays, life in China is getting better, who doesn’t want to return to his roots after fallen leaves! For this reason, after thinking for a long time, he went to the Governor's Mansion in Batavia.

To be honest, he was not sure whether the Dutch would agree this time. Although the Dutch governor kept saying "my friend" when he saw him, he knew that he could only listen to these words. If he took them seriously, he would be really stupid.

In the original history, Su Minggang really returned to his hometown of Fujian. However, the result disappointed him.
