Manila Ming neighborhood here.

Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong looked at the messy and mournful neighborhoods, looked at the corpses lying in pools of blood, and the frightened children, as well as the women who were unclothed and huddled in the corner, and they couldn't help but clench their fists.

"Luzon is a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, how can you treat my Ming people like this~"

Someone said in disbelief.

For a long time, in the concept of the Ming people, the Ming Dynasty was the suzerain, and it has always been very good to these vassal states.

In the past, whether it was Koreans or Japanese or these Luzon people, when they came to the Ming Dynasty, they could be treated preferentially, and every time they paid tribute, the Ming court would return to them several times.

The Ming Dynasty treats this vassal country sincerely, and naturally everyone expects these vassal states to treat the Ming Dynasty sincerely.

But now, who would have thought that Luzon, thousands of miles away in the Ming Dynasty, these people would treat me like this, and many concepts have completely changed, and their faces are unbelievable.

"The teacher is right, there are only eternal interests between countries, there are no eternal friends, except for my Daming, these barbarians do not understand benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, the only thing they know is fists, only if they are scared, crying, and painful to the bone marrow, they will be my Ming Dynasty true surrender."

"Treating them with benevolence and morality will only exchange them for their contempt for my Daming, and will only make them white-eyed wolves."

Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Shuhong couldn't help but think of Liu Jin's words.

In the past, he was still somewhat skeptical of Liu Jin's words, after all, he grew up reading the Tao of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, and benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he always thinks that if I treat others with benevolence and righteousness, I will definitely be able to exchange others for benevolence and righteousness towards myself.

But the reality is often the opposite, you treat others with kindness and righteousness, but often in exchange for betrayal, contempt, and harm.

That's how it is with the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese and Annan of the Japanese Kingdom attacked Yungui in Guangxi, and now they have seen these people in Luzon wantonly killing and slaughtering our Ming people, which is enough to explain all this.

At this moment, in his heart, he finally understood why the teacher Liu Jin would pay attention to power in external aspects is the truth, because it is true, it will not work if you talk to them about benevolence, righteousness and morality, only fists and cannons can make them understand that the Ming cannot be bullied.

"Your teacher is a son of a master, his words will not be wrong~"

Du Mingen nodded, he was born as a businessman, he has seen a lot of things in this area, and now he has become the Marquis of Taiping, leading the fleet south, seeing the miserable scene in front of him, he understands the people's hearts even more, in fact, he has always bullied the soft and feared the hard.

Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality everywhere, and they have to use these things to bind them, and externally, in their eyes, they are weak and deceitful.

The grassland people in the north used to go south every year and loot wantonly, not because the Ming court did not resist much every year, hiding in the city to defend, and allowing the grassland people to loot.

With once, there are twice, the more you rob, the more addictive you are, and the more absolutely Ming people are easy to bully, so what do you tell them about benevolence and morality?

It's useless, they can easily rob you of the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate, who will tell you what benevolence and morality.

Last year, the little prince was wiped out and all the grassland army was left in the Central Plains, and the grassland people knew that they were afraid, not only did they not dare to go south to plunder, but they even did not dare to approach the border line within a hundred miles.

This is the reality, this is the truth.

If you hurt them, cry them, and fear them, they will be respectful to you, low your eyebrows, and they will be benevolent and moral at this time, and they will be able to listen.

"Pass my orders, kill~"

A cold light flashed in Du Mingen's eyes, and he thought about it and ordered.

"Yes~"

A herald immediately hurried to convey Du Mingen's order.

In the neighborhood of the Malays and black dwarves, the Ming army swept over, and everywhere they passed, the Malays and black dwarves were like sheep driven by wolves.

Frightened, looking at the tall Ming army like a tiger descending from the mountain, all the Malays and black dwarves who dared to resist the Ming army were all killed.

"Master Hou has an order, there is no forgiveness for killing~"

A herald hurried over, shouting loudly as he went.

Hearing the herald's words, everyone immediately knew what to do.

The Ming army killed people when they saw them, they began to rob things when they saw them, they began to burn houses when they saw them, and everywhere they passed, like locusts, not a single inch of grass grows, and everything had to be destroyed cleanly.

"Damn, I'm so poor~"

Soon, the Ming army found out that these Malays and black dwarves were really poor, and the houses were ugly to death, and the key was that there was nothing in them, all of them were worthless things, so that everyone didn't even have the heart to rob.

But soon, they found the castle here in Manila, the castle of the ruler of Luzon, Lagan, and suddenly the Ming army rushed towards the castle like a tide, and soon surrounded the entire castle.

"Please ask the general to come out and speak~"

On the walls of the castle, the people of Luzon trembled, and some people stood up in fear and shouted in the Ming dialect.

"What's the matter?"

Ouyang Wu, who was in charge of commanding these Ming troops, looked at the city wall.

Although the walls are not high, only a few zhang high, it can be seen that these walls are very strong, all of them are built of stones, and cannonballs hitting them may not be able to cause much substantial damage, and it may not be easy to break through this castle.

But if this castle can be taken down, and the cement carried by the fleet can be used to expand this castle, a good small town can be built.

When the time comes, you can use this castle as a base, and the artillery will be enough to deter the entire Manila Bay, even if you encounter an attack ten times or dozens of times the number of defensive forces, you can easily deal with it.

"General Shangguo, I am the envoy of the peace talks sent by the king of Luzon, Lagan, our king hopes that the general can raise his noble hand, if there is anything, we can discuss it well, there is no need to use force."

The other party replied tremblingly.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask for instructions."

Ouyang Wu thought about it and replied, and then asked people to immediately ask Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping.

"Summation?"

Soon, Du Mingen received the news and couldn't help laughing.

"This Luzon king should know that someone is slaughtering my Ming people, they sit idly by, and now they still have the face to sue for peace."

"Let's go, let's take a look, this Luzon country is rich in gold, and I don't know how much gold there is in this castle."

Du Mingen soon took Lin Shuhong to the gate of the castle.

"Let you Luzon kings come out and speak~"

Ouyang Wu got Du Mingen's signal and said to the people on the city wall.

Soon, Lagan, dressed in fine clothes, trembled and came to the city wall.

"I am Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping of the Ming Dynasty~"

Seeing each other, Du Mingen shouted. 120

"Master Hou, Xiao Wang is the king of Luzon~"

"Master Hou came from afar, he missed the distance, and he hoped to atone for his sins~"

Pullan looked at Du Mingen, who was dressed in a crimson robe, and said very politely.

"Missing?"

"Open the door now, and I'll be able to give you a chance."

Du Mingen smiled and sneered.

"Master Hou, it's not that Xiao Wang doesn't open the door, and you are eyeing the tiger, Xiao Wang is afraid that if he opens the door, his life will be lost~"

"Please also ask Master Hou to withdraw first, if there is anything we can say, say it well~"

Dragan was about to cry, only to sigh that he was unlucky.

This slaughter of the Ming neighborhood, although he acquiesced to it, but now he has not received any benefits in his mouth, and he was unlucky to meet the arrival of the Ming army, and it is not so simple to want to be good now.

"Okay?"

"Then tell me well, someone slaughtered my Ming people, why didn't you, the king, send troops to stop it?"

Du Mingen asked with a smile.

"This, Master Hou, I only found out about this now, and I was about to send someone to stop the riot."

Ragan thought about it and came up with a very lame reason.

"You know?"

Du Mingen couldn't help but laugh immediately.

Then he said to Ouyang Wu beside him: "Wait a minute, blow up the city gate with an explosive bag, and capture this Lagan alive, I will use his head to pay tribute to the dead Ming people." ”

"Yes~"

When Ouyang Wu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

For these warriors, the favorite thing is that.

If there is something to be solved directly with fists, in the past, it was Wenchen who led them, and they only played tricks and talked about the so-called benevolence and morality, but they were the people who had the least benevolence and morality.

How good is it now, Wenchen has withdrawn from the leadership system of military generals, and the generals who lead them are all military generals and nobles in the court, although Du Mingen is a businessman, he is also a marquis, and he is considered a military general.

They are not bound by those so-called benevolence and morality, how the Luzon people treat the Ming people, they have to return it tenfold, a hundred times, and even more ruthlessly, so that they know the fate of offending the Ming people.

"Pull gan, I'll inform you one last time, come out now, I can still let you live."

"As the king of Luzon, you have watched your mob slaughter my people without doing anything, and I seriously suspect that you are behind this."

Du Mingen looked at Lagan and warned sternly again.

"Master Hou, misunderstanding, even if Xiao Wang has a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to do this."

"My Luzon Kingdom has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and I have been attacking the Ming Dynasty repeatedly, and I am also from the Boni country, and our Boni country has also been friendly with the Ming Dynasty for generations."

"How dare I even let these people kill the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knew it.

To be honest, in the past, he really didn't think that the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, anyway, it was so far away, and some Ming people died, could the Ming really send a large army to help them Luzon?

Ming people are rich, he knows.

Of course, this is not the reason why even if these people under him robbed the Ming people, he is a king, he is still very rich, he has everything, so naturally he doesn't care about the wealth of the Ming people.

What he was really afraid of was that the Ming people would continue to migrate to Luzon.

He is a Malay, and although the Malays have gained a firm foothold in Luzon at this time, they have not been able to completely conquer the black dwarves, and can only run Luzon on an equal footing with the black dwarves.

The black dwarves are very primitive, the civilization is very backward, the Malays are not afraid, as long as time, they can completely defeat these black dwarves.

But the Ming people are different, although the Ming people are not many now, but the Ming people are very smart, very diligent, the key is that the Ming people have all kinds of advanced technology, civilization is extremely developed and advanced.

This scared the Malays, who now are just a little bit of Ming people coming, but who knows if there will be more Ming people coming in the future.

This is very similar to the Malays, who were not originally indigenous to Luzon, but slowly came here and gradually gained a foothold here with advanced technology and civilization.

If the Ming people are like this, where will they still have the status of Malays at that time.

Compared to the Ming people, their Malays were very backward, which made them very worried, worried that the Ming people would replace them as the rulers of Luzon.

Another reason is that the Ming people are very grouped, the Ming people do not marry or marry, and more importantly, the Ming people do not believe in their religion, even though they repeatedly ask the Ming people to intermarry with them, they must believe in their religion, but the Ming people are very indiscriminate.

They don't bother to pay attention to them at all, in the eyes of the Ming people, these Malays are as ugly as the black dwarves, and they are very backward and lazy, who would want to marry them.

As for the so-called religion, it is even more funny, the Han people have only believed in themselves since ancient times, only believed in their ancestors, and only respected heaven and earth.

These three factors are combined, which is why there is this looting against the Ming people.

On the one hand, they felt that the Ming people would threaten their status, and on the other hand, they felt that the Ming people were heretics, and coupled with the wealth of the Ming people, this naturally happened.

"Don't dare?"

"What else would you not dare to do?"

"Don't talk nonsense, do you come out on your own, or wait for me to come in, I'll say it straight."

"If you come out by yourself now, I can still let you live, if you wait for me to kill you, then don't blame me for killing the chicken and dog."

Du Mingen sneered and gave him an ultimatum directly.

"Master Hou, Xiao Wang really doesn't dare~"

"I, Luzon, am a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, how can the Ming Dynasty treat me Luzon like this, the Ming Dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, how can it kill and plunder my Luzon people so wantonly?"

When Lagan heard this, he was immediately half frightened to death, and he could only grit his teeth and say.

"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin."

"Kill~"

Du Mingen looked at Lagan, wishing that the other party would not come out, it would be difficult to kill him if he came out, and he could kill him if he didn't come out, so he ordered coldly.
