Chapter 1597 Restoration of the Old Port Proclamation Department
Shen Long walked to the edge of the sea chart, pointed to the old port propaganda department and asked Zheng Zhilong, "Fei Huang, you have been at sea for a long time, do you know that this place is now occupied by Essibanians?"
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Spain was called Isibenia, and France was called Fulangcha. Say the correct name of the Esibanians, and you will know that His Majesty must have studied the Esibanians long ago.
Therefore, I dare not neglect to answer truthfully, "The Esibanians have occupied the old port for many years. They built forts there and stationed more than a thousand troops. The Banias fought and entangled thousands of soldiers and horses from all over Nanyang to besiege Lin Feng and defeated him. However, because of this, the Banias also became suspicious of our Ming Dynasty and massacred more than 20,000 people of our Ming Dynasty. , Luzon was bleeding like a river, and there are only more than three hundred survivors."
Zheng Zhilong is also from a pirate background, but now he has no pressure to call Lin Feng, who is from the same background as him, a giant bandit, and he also heard Shen Long's intention to attack the old port, so he offered an excuse.
"Hehe, I'm afraid Fei Huang still has something to say?" Regarding the Dalun Mountain tragedy, Shen Long knew better than Zheng Zhilong, "It wasn't just Lin Feng who caused the incident back then. The golden bean grows on its own, and if you send someone to collect it, you can get a huge amount of lies. They sent Cheng Wang Shihe of Haicheng County and Baihu Yu Yicheng to Luzon to mine gold; when they arrived in Luzon, they found that it was pure nonsense , and immediately returned to the country, the Spaniards were frightened, so they began to massacre our Ming people."
Afterwards, the Spaniards discovered that Luzon was separated from the people of Ming Dynasty, and they could not survive at all, because the local aborigines were lazy and could not create wealth without doing production, and they had to rely on the people of Ming Dynasty to plunder wealth.
So Akuna, the provincial governor of the Philippine island who personally directed the massacre, quickly put on a mask to attract the people of Ming Dynasty; for this reason, this guy sent an official mission headed by Captain Kuaifa and Father Gandulo to Ming Dynasty; One is to inquire about the situation of Ming Dynasty, so as to prevent the attack of Ming Dynasty, and the other is to frame these people for rebellion, so that Ming Dynasty can continue to allow merchants to trade in Luzon.
Although their trip was difficult, they achieved their goal. They found that Daming had no plans to go south to fight, and there were two wealthy Zhangzhou businessmen who often dealt with Nanyang trade. Hearing their arrival, they rushed to Haojingao to help They purchased a large amount of military supplies urgently needed by Manila, such as gunpowder, lead, and nitrate, etc., and welcomed them to Zhangzhou. It was because of the collusion of these two wealthy businessmen that the robbers went smoothly in Fuzhou and returned with satisfaction.
Perhaps it was due to the nature of the literati who did not want to see the war happen, or perhaps it was influenced by the two wealthy businessmen in Zhangzhou. Xu Xueju, the governor of Fujian, wrote a letter saying that because "the profiteer killed his chief the year before last, he accumulated grievances and regrets", and he was the common people of Ming Dynasty " "There is something to stimulate it" that triggered the tragedy, and emphasized the difficulty of going out.
Therefore, Emperor Wanli thought that "Zhang Ni and others deceived the imperial court for no reason and provoked overseas, resulting in the massacre of 30,000 merchants and people, ruining the prestige and causing disaster." Let them move to Lu Song to question the crime.
Xu Xueju then issued an edict to Lu Song, condemning the atrocities committed by the Spanish and asking them to repatriate the living and compensate for the losses. Then the two countries will reconcile and the merchant ships will set sail as before. Otherwise, the "King" of China will prohibit merchant ships from going to sea, and will build thousands of warships, train the relatives of the dead to form an army, and carry out crusades.
The full text gives people the impression of flaunting national prestige, being harsh and indifferent, disregarding right from wrong, betraying overseas Chinese, abandoning principles, sacrificing the basics and pursuing the end, routine, perfunctory, and only seeking to save the face of the big country.
"This Xu Xueju was considered a talented person back then, but he never thought he would do such a shameless thing! How can these barbarians in my Ming Dynasty be able to kill wantonly? After the two of you wiped out the red-haired barbarians on Dayuan Island this time,
Immediately go south to Luzon to avenge the people of Ming Dynasty! "The lives of 20,000 Ming people are not enough to pay back even if all these colonists are killed.
"I also heard that Philip, the king of Sibania, plans to attack our Ming Dynasty, and his governor in Luzon plans to recruit Luzon natives and Japanese pirates as vanguards, and land from Fujian to attack Daming! Such a wolfish ambition is really ridiculous!" In fact If the Spanish Armada hadn't been killed by the British, maybe this plan would have been possible.
"Weichen will definitely restore the old Hong Kong Xuanweisi for His Majesty, and hold the chieftain in front of His Majesty!" Neither Yu Zigao nor Zheng Zhilong had heard of this matter. The Asians hated it so much that this battle was inevitable.
"Wang Chengen, this time you also went south with them. First disembarked in Zhejiang, captured Xu Xueju for questioning, and then went to Zhangzhou to raid the homes of those two businessmen. How is their behavior different from that of Fan Yongdou and others?" Shen Long not only wanted to deal with the Spaniards, but also the scourge within Daming.
"Slave complies with the order!" Wang Chengen was a little surprised when he heard this, because these two matters are too small, and it seems that he does not need to do it himself at all. I am afraid that His Majesty has other important tasks to entrust to himself?
"After the two of you arrive in Luzon, no matter if they are Sibanians, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Japanese pirates, anyone who has the blood of my Ming people on their hands will never be allowed to let go!" Damn, just a few thousand people dared to slaughter the people of our Ming Dynasty, in a vain attempt to capture the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't give you something powerful, do you really think that my Ming Dynasty is useless?
And if he hadn't replaced Chongzhen by himself, these barbarians would have started massacring the Ming people in Luzon again in the 12th year of Chongzhen. At that time, the imperial court also pinned their hopes on Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong didn't attack Spain at all. After that, during the Kangxi period, the Spaniards began to massacre for the third time. Since then, these guys have treated the Chinese people as crops, and they will massacre once in a few years, leaving countless blood debts.
After some more instructions, Shen Long asked Yu Zigao and Zheng Zhilong to go back to Denglai to prepare for going south, and then left Wang Chengen in the study, "This time even if Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao took Lu Song to the west Putting all the Bania people to death is hard to understand my ruthlessness, so I have other tasks to entrust to you, maybe you can help me out?"
