Salute first and then soldier, it has been a Chinese tradition since ancient times, and I don't know how many catchy scripts have been produced.

The glorious task of drafting this warning letter was naturally entrusted to Honglu Siqing Mao Xiang, who was born as a talented man and had done diplomatic work for so many years, so he could be said to be able to grasp this kind of thing.

Mao Xiang understands that Emperor Tianwu wants to take Nanyang in his heart, and this incident is just an opportunity, this warning must be stern and resolute, showing the strength of the Ming Dynasty!

In just one day, Mao Xiang completed the edict, submitted it to the Qianqing Palace, and soon sent it in triplicate to the Spanish Embassy in Nanjing, the Manila Governor's Palace, and the Hanjing Factory, a subordinate organ of the Huangming Times, to publish and distribute the form and send it to the whole country.

The edict is as follows: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent an edict to the Governor of Manila, Spain, Sarcto: The king who inherits the mandate of heaven and establishes all nations should follow the tribute, which is not easy to do in ancient and modern times.

In the past, he was hateful, and he didn't know the rules of heaven, and he dared to abuse the people of my emperor and Ming, rob merchant ships, and look like thieves!

I was born early with the intention of the navy to crusade, but I relied on the benevolence of the Heavenly Empire, so I repeatedly sent instructions in the hope that he would repent of his sins;

And they were stupid and stubborn, obsessed, and angry, so they sent generals to conquer in March of the second year of Tianwu, and the troops arrived in Taiwan, where they hunted and killed countless Heyi!

Heyi ran and had no way to escape, stripping and begging, but it was too late, the heavenly soldiers did not accept the surrender, so they killed the prisoners and threw their corpses in the sea to deter the world!

In an instant, the treasury of the city was all returned to the emperor, if they had known that they had succumbed to their guilt, how could there be such a disaster?

Your small Spanish country is no different from the Netherlands, overriding my people, opening the foundation of chaos, I am now pacifying the world, with millions of elite soldiers, thousands of warships, originally planned to be in charge of the invasion!

From Taiwan to Luzon, the waterway is close to the shortest, and the morning and evening are coming; However, I remember that you have a little remorse and send an envoy to come, and the terms of trade are no longer comparable to Heyi, and I am determined to forgive you and others, and stay in Taiwan for the time being, and send a priest to give a proclamation.

If thou wilt awaken before thou shalt come to pay tribute every year, thou shalt be handed over to the priest, and I shall show thou the grace of thy old punishment, and shall preserve thy majesty as a satrap, and shall order my merchants to trade with thy state;

If you are still cunning, then the warships of our Celestial Empire will be established, and all your city treasures and gold treasures will be burned immediately, and you will regret it at that time!

Heyi can be a lesson for the past, and at this time, the priest has nothing to return to Taiwan, blessings and misfortunes, only choose one, fortunately think carefully and make a quick decision, and regret without delay! ”

"This edict, August 10th of the ninth year of Tianwu!"

As soon as this edict was issued, it immediately aroused great concern among the Chinese people.

No one expected that the forcible occupation of the Nanyang Franco-Rang machine country still dared to offend the Ming Dynasty, for a while, the crowd was excited, and people kept running to the Spanish embassy, shouting and scolding for days.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven was tough and ordered to enter the second-level state of combat readiness, and the people of the country were at peace.

According to the combat readiness rating of the Ming army, the troops entered the third level of combat readiness only when the situation was tense and there were major abnormalities in the surrounding areas, which could pose a direct military threat to the country.

Only when the situation deteriorates and a direct military threat to the country is posed that the troops are in a state of second-level combat readiness, fully equipped according to the wartime establishment, and a battle plan is drawn up.

Now His Majesty has directly ordered the army to enter the second-level combat readiness, which shows the importance of the overseas people!

A few days later, news came out again from the imperial court that Shen Tingyang, the Minister of Maritime Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, had issued an order in the name of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs.

He ordered all Daming coast guard ships and civilian ships in Taiwan and near Luzon to sail to Manila as fast as possible, and to take the Chinese who had escaped from the riots to the territory of Luzon Island and Taiwan to temporarily avoid the crisis.

According to the latest news, the anti-Chinese riots in Manila have escalated again, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger!

The local aborigines are massacring, raping, and burning all the Chinese families, shops and factories, and even the Ming envoys who went to negotiate have been attacked, and the city of Manila has fallen into a pool of blood.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately aroused the anger of the Chinese people, and the major newspapers of the Ming Dynasty reported it with headlines, and quickly sent to Manila to conduct on-the-spot interviews.

The Huangming Times even invited some civil society leaders who are good at analyzing current affairs to analyze and comment.

An old scholar of the Restoration Society said: "The Chinese nation has thousands of years of agricultural civilization, and it is born to work hard, and the Chinese people rely on hard work to survive and stand firm in Nanyang, and they are getting richer and richer ......."

"The aborigines of Nanyang occupy a unique natural and fertile land, they do not want to forge ahead, with laziness, ignorance, and even barbaric habits, robbing the wealth that the Chinese have worked so hard to accumulate, and even slaughtering the Chinese, and shamelessly claiming that it is the Chinese who have robbed them of the wealth that belongs to them!"

"The Western colonists opened the way with guns and cannons, enslaved them for hundreds of years, and blatantly robbed them of an unknown amount of wealth! In the face of foreign guns and cannons, the aborigines did not dare to resist, but only dared to attack the Chinese who pay attention to benevolence and righteousness and have a humble temperament! It shows their brutal and bullying nature! ”

"I have experienced the changes of the Central Plains, fortunately my emperor has the mandate of heaven, rebuilt China, so that I can re-establish the top of the world, now our country is strong, the culture is prosperous, the people live in peace, the court should raise troops in the South Seas, expel the barbarism, practice the grace of education, and recreate the world!"

……

Hongwu Street, outside the residence of the first assistant to the cabinet.

At this time, thousands of people and students were gathering here, and they were waving banners like waves and shouting slogans.

A student leader of the Guozijian stood on the stone pier, raised his arms and shouted: "Expel the Spanish envoys, and the imperial court will send troops to the South Seas!" ”

Thousands of people below shouted in unison: "Expelle the envoys!" ”

"Send troops to the South Seas!"

The student leader, who was only twenty years old, showed great power, and after shouting a few slogans, he began to give a speech in a subdued manner.

"The first assistant of the cabinet of the Wanli Dynasty, Shen Zhengyi, in the face of the changes of Nanyang Tuhua, is like a turtle with a shrunken head, he doesn't dare to do anything, I don't want our Tianwu Dynasty's first assistant to be like Shen Zheng!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a round of applause from all sides.

"My Ming Dynasty has a powerful fleet and countless soldiers who dare to fight, why doesn't the imperial court raise troops? It's just a Western barbarian and a native, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! ”

The young student leaders lit up the atmosphere, and the crowd around them burst into cheers and applause.

In the attic of the official residence of the first assistant, Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood in front of the window, looking at the situation outside the mansion, and saw all this in his eyes.

He turned to the attendant beside him and asked lightly, "Has the young man who gave the speech found out his identity?" ”

The attendant replied: "Hui Xiangye, find out, his name is Zhou Peigong, a native of Jingmen, Huguang, twenty years old this year, and a student of Guozijian. ”

"Zhou Peigong ......"

Yang Tinglin smiled and gave an evaluation: "Flashy and unrealistic, swaggering in the market!" ”

The news of Nanyang has just arrived, and major national affairs can be decided immediately in a day or two.

There is also the matter of sending troops, how can they be pulled out casually? Don't need logistical lead time?

How can there be a fool in this world who declares war first and then prepares logistics? If there is, it will also be the end of being surrounded by the coalition forces of several countries!

Zhou Peigong was born in the future, obviously taking advantage of the current situation, putting gold on his face and winning a reputation for himself, isn't it a swagger?

Moreover, Yang Tinglin, who has been in the officialdom for 20 years, faintly feels that there is something wrong with Peigong this week.

He continued to ask the attendant, "Has this person's life history been checked?" ”

"Checked, this Zhou Peigong lost his father at a young age, when he was ten years old, Li Zicheng attacked Jingyingjian, his mother was martyred and died, Zhou Peigong was destitute and helpless, became a state pawn, and soon after he attached himself to the illustrious to enter Nanjing."

"Who is the Eminent One?"

"It is said to be related to Yang Gelao......"

"Let's go down!"

Yang Tinglin waved his hand, and he seemed to understand everything.

If the expectation is good, this week Peigong is Yang Shicong's person, and this time he marched in front of the Shoufu Mansion, which seemed to be a petition, but in fact he was taking advantage of the current situation to make trouble for him.

In recent years, Yang Shicong has been particularly fond of receiving people, and he has become more and more unwilling to be lonely, thinking that he is coveting the position of the first assistant.......

However, what Zhou Peigong said is right, the cabinet of the Tianwu Dynasty is different from the cabinet of the Wanli Dynasty!
