On the third day of the second month of the twenty-third year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Zhi's recital, and his face was full of surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhi conquered Luzon.

Less than half a year before the conquest of Japan, Li Zhi had already swung south to defeat the Spaniards' Manila and occupy the Luzon Islands.

All the white men in the Spanish royal city were killed, and more than a thousand white women were transported back to Liaodong by ironclad ships in Tianjin, where they were sold as slaves to Liaodong men who were cultivating fields in the ice and snow.

Wang Chengen was still a little confused about the situation, and asked curiously: "Emperor, where is this Luzon, this Luzon Islands, and this Manila?" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and shouted, "Bring the map!" ”

Wang Chengen sang loudly: "Get on the map!" ”

After a while, two eunuchs came up holding a huge map.

The eunuch opened the silky map in Zhu Youzhen. The map is embroidered on silk silk with a red thread needle, marking the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chengen searched carefully on the map and found the three provinces of Liaodong, Korea, Japan, and the island of Taiwan. But no matter where he looked on the map, he couldn't find Luzon.

Wang Chengen was a little frustrated, and turned his head to look at the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the map, pointed to the ocean at the bottom of the map with his finger, then swiped his finger down, scratched to the outside of the map, and said: "The so-called Luzon is in the south of the sea pole. ”

Wang Chengen smacked his tongue secretly and said, "Holy and sage! After a pause, he said: "It's just that the slave maid really didn't expect that the places that were not marked on this map were all annexed by the king of Tianjin. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the map and was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen sighed.

Tianjin's strength really made Zhu Youzhen a little unable to react.

The island of Luzon in the South Seas is a land outside the country, and it has never been intimidated by the king. And Li Zhi sent dozens of boats and thousands of people to kill Xiyi, who had been entrenched there for decades. The territory of my Ming Dynasty has actually expanded to Luzon? How could the martial arts of my Han people ever be so strong?

Li Zhi said that the main inhabitants of the Luzon archipelago are dark-skinned and diminutive Malays. Then these Malays have become my people?

As soon as the Luzon Islands were incorporated into China, the territory of the Ming Dynasty penetrated deep into the South China Sea. From the capital to Luzon, I am afraid that there are thousands of miles away.

However, this great martial arts was all done by Li Zhi. As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Youzhen only has the merit of temple calculations and has no contribution to specific affairs. Zhu Youzhen was a little puzzled, and he didn't know how future writers would evaluate himself as a son of heaven in Khan Qing.

Is he a British lord who expands his territory? Or can't you control the mediocre lords of your subordinates?

This Tianjin is also a little too strong.

Zhu Youzhen became a little anxious and paced back and forth in the study. After a long time, he walked back to the front of the map.

"Wang Dehua, how is the situation in Shaanxi?"

Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, hurriedly took a step forward and arched his hand and said: "Back to Shengshang, after the cheap grain from Tianjin arrives, the refugees in Shaanxi now have food to eat. The people knew that this food was given to the people by the Holy Lord, and whether it was in the city or in the countryside, it was full of praise and gratitude from the Holy One. ”

"The affairs of Shaanxi have spread to Shanxi and Nanzhili, and the government and the opposition are full of virtuous voices."

Hearing Wang Dehua's words, Zhu Youzhen felt a little more at ease. Although Li Zhi swept overseas, as a son of heaven, he also had some achievements. At least in Shaanxi, its own governance is very effective.

Zhu Youzhen took a breath and sat back in his chair.

"What about the gentry in Jiangnan? What do they think of the matter of pacifying Shaanxi? ”

Wang Dehua thought for a while and said honestly: "The gentry in Jiangnan heard that the Holy Lord was in Shaanxi Junping Tianfu, and they were scolded. ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned when he heard this, and suddenly became very angry.

"These shameless gentry who don't know the light of day!"

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was angry, the people in the study didn't dare to speak, and stood with their heads bowed one by one.

After a long time, Wang Chengen saw that the atmosphere was a little depressing, so he pointed to the chapter and said: "Saint, Li Zhi said that he would take prisoner Francisco, the governor of Manila that he captured in Luzon. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned, and only then did he notice that there was such a clause on the recital.

Zhu Youzhen asked curiously: "This Fran... What is the origin of Francisco? Why did the king of Tianjin sacrifice a prisoner to me? ”

Wang Dehua arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, the reason why the king of Tianjin entered Luzon this time is because the governor of Manila in Luzon slaughtered overseas Han Chinese. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned and asked curiously, "How many people have you killed?" ”

Wang Dehua replied: "The slave maid got the news from Tianjin. The Han area in the city of Namanila is called Balian, and there are more than 30,000 people. Under the order of the governor of Namanila, Xiyi killed more than 20,000 people, and the blood flowed and the pestle flowed. ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen know that such a thing had happened in Luzon overseas, and frowned.

"That's why the king of Tianjin sent an expedition?"

Wang Dehua replied: "Holy Mingjian! It is precisely because of the Furlong machine... That is, the king of Tianjin said that the Spaniards slaughtered our overseas Han people, and the king of Tianjin sent warships and soldiers to capture the Spanish governor of Manila alive. In retaliation, the king of Tianjin killed all the Spaniards in Manila. ”

Li Zhi thought that the Son of Heaven knew about these causes and consequences, so he did not say it in the recital. However, Zhu Youzhen has been busy with domestic affairs in the past few months, how can he know that tens of thousands of people have died abroad? So I watched Li Zhi's recital a little foggy before, and when I heard Wang Dehua's report at this time, I understood the origin of the matter.

Zhu Youzhen frowned, and said for a long time: "I see! I also wondered why the king of Tianjin suddenly went on an expedition. ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen said: "In this way, this Spaniard can indeed kill me Hanmin!" ”

Wang Dehua arched his hand and said: "Holy Mingjian! ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "What Li Zhi means is that I am the emperor of the Han people in the world, and I should protect the Han people overseas. He captured the Governor of Manila alive for me, and he did something for me, so he should be taken prisoner. ”

Wang Chengen frowned and said, "This Han people in Manila are my fugitives from the Ming Dynasty. The slave maid heard that there was also a massacre in Nanyang during the Wanli Dynasty, when Emperor Wanli Xian said to Xiyi, "The Chinese in the country, because most of them are bad people, do not tolerate mercy!" ’”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Wang Chengen, you don't understand. This is not the case. In the past, my Ming Dynasty did not have the strength to attack Nanyang, so naturally I couldn't take care of the life and death of those overseas Han people. Now that the king of Tianjin can fight all the way to Luzon, of course, he can't sit back and watch the barbarians kill people! ”

Wang Chengen said: "Holy Lord, I am afraid that this sacrifice of prisoners will further enhance the prestige of the king of Tianjin. ”

"I can't stay out of this massacre! Otherwise, as soon as the newspapers in other provinces report this matter, how will I deal with myself in front of the people of the world? Throwing Li Zhi's recital on the table, Zhu Youzhen said: "Okay, let Li Zhi come and dedicate it, I recognize his merits." ”
