Chapter 513: Tu Hua's Past
Outside the city of Fuzhou, all the officials of Fujian who are above the fifth grade arrived and greeted each other outside the city.
Under normal circumstances, as long as a five-grade official comes out, at least a few gongs and drums must be beaten to open the way.
After Hou Xuan arrived in Fuzhou, he looked down and almost thought that he had come to the wrong place.
Hundreds of officials stood there stunned, and they were told that there was a red silk carpet on the stage, and there was not even a banner.
Hou Xuanyan's face darkened, and he cursed: "Fujian Daofu's flowing oil, everyone in the world knows, and it is so shabby that it clearly doesn't take me seriously." ”
The officials who accompanied the car secretly slandered, and they were scolded if they made a big show, and they were scolded if they didn't do it. Even the intimate elixir couldn't listen to it anymore, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is all Your Majesty's way of doing it, and they misunderstood." ”
Hou Xuanyan glared at her fiercely, and then stepped off the dragon boat, Fuzhou is built by the sea, and the suburbs of the city itself are ports, which is very convenient.
Fujian's political envoy Zeng Hengying led Fujian's civil and military officials to bow down together, Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and said, "Flat." ”
Looking at the rows of kneeling officials, Hou Xuan said in his heart, it's time to simplify etiquette.
Take the imperial concubine to board the carriage, although the car is not luxurious, but it is very comfortable and spacious, Hou Xuanyan sat down and lifted the curtain, the whole city outside was full of people who wanted to see Long Yan, Hou Xuanyan simply rolled up the curtain.
He has entered Fuzhou several times, but he has come in a hostile capacity, but now it is different, and it is time to accept the cheers of the people of Fujian.
There were more than 100 people in the crowd, crowded at the front, and the leader saw the emperor's car curtain rolled open, and turned around and said: "God help me, if you miss this opportunity, you will no longer be able to take revenge!" ”
got up behind him to respond, and when Hou Xuan came over, they knelt on the ground together and shouted in unison.
The sudden movement made Qin He very nervous, and he led a team of guards to protect the Son of Heaven Luan Yu tightly.
Hou Xuanyan frowned, and cautiously did not get out of the carriage, but pushed Yang Fujin to the corner of the carriage. Then, under the escort of the guards, he walked out.
"Who cried out?"
At this time, the guards had already controlled all the people who shouted grievances, and after searching their bodies and repeatedly confirming their safety, they reported to Hou Xuanyan, and there was no danger.
"Your Majesty, it is a group of Fujian villagers."
"Oh?" Hou Xuanyan relieved his heart, it's good if he wasn't an assassin, since it was the villagers who shouted grievances, he had to deal with it anyway.
Hou Xuanyan raised his voice and said: "The people must have a deep grievance when they stop the holy car, otherwise where will they have the courage, let one come in and say it clearly, I will try it today." ”
Hou Xuanyan's voice was very loud, and the people around him burst into cheers, which was a rare scene for them. And the people kneeling on the ground were even more excited, and there was hope for revenge!
Hou Xuanyan saw that he had white temples, a flowing robe, his hair was white but not messy, and his face was not flustered, so he said: "Bring a stool for this old man." ”
The old man had seen a big scene at a glance, although he was facing the emperor of heaven, his demeanor was still calm. It wasn't until he heard that the Son of Heaven gave him a throne that he showed a flattered look and knelt down and said, "The grass people don't dare." ”
"I'm not for anything else, but to honor your old age."
"The grass people thank my emperor."
The old man squatted on a stool, put his hands in his hands and looked solemn, and slowly told a history of blood and tears.
During the Wanli period, because of the barren land in Fujian, more and more people secretly went to sea to do business.
At that time, the Spaniards occupied Luzon and built the city of Manila, which started the colonial mode.
These people plundered endless amounts of gold and silver from South America, transported them to Luzon, and through the Chinese in Luzon to the Ming Dynasty to exchange for silk, porcelain and other items, and made a lot of money.
Of course, the Chinese in the center also made a lot of money, but the Spaniards had no choice, the Ming Dynasty did not allow them to land on a large scale to purchase, and their sailors could not beat the Daming sailors.
Later, Wanli's three major expeditions spent all the money in the treasury, and due to financial constraints, Wanli, who had always been shrewd, made a small calculation.
He heard that there was a lot of gold and silver on Luzon, but he didn't know where it came from, so he wanted to help this former little brother get rid of colonial rule and make a fortune for himself.
Of course, before this idea was implemented, it was criticized by the civil officials, and Wanli was so annoyed that it was over.
But somehow, this news reached the ears of the Spaniards, and in the past, the Chinese on Luzon Island did not obey the colonial management and often made trouble, so the Spaniards simply did not stop doing it, instigated the local indigenous monkeys, and launched a brutal anti-Chinese massacre. The people of Luzon are Ishylanism, brutal and murderous by nature, and are especially hostile to the Chinese.
On a mere Luzon island, 20,000 Chinese were slaughtered, and the blood stained this hot, busy island, and the wails spread to the mainland of the Central Plains, and even to the Forbidden City in Beijing.
When this matter reached the imperial court, Emperor Wanli was furious and immediately roared in the court: ""The emperor deceived the imperial court and provoked overseas, causing 20,000 merchants to use their blades, damage the prestige and humiliation of the country, and die innocently. The Luzon chieftain killed the merchants without permission, and the officials discussed the crime. ”
Emperor Wanli rolled up his sleeves and prepared to avenge his people, but the civil officials at that time had shocking remarks.
They said: "Of the four people of China, the businessmen are the most cheap, how can they be untouchables, and they will start a military revolution and abandon them." ”
This bastard remark was recognized by a full house of high-ranking officials, and everyone pretended not to see it, and continued to intrigue in the officialdom, went to the Qinglou prostitute to have fun, and enjoyed a rich and debaucherous life. Far away in Luzon, the end of the four peoples became outcasts, and seeing the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards and natives became even more unscrupulous.
This time Tu Hua gave the Spaniards and indigenous monkeys in Luzon a glimpse of the ability of the Chinese to collect money, and after they finished killing, they found out how much money was hidden in the homes of these Chinese, which they could not imagine.
Later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, and countless Chinese who did not want to be slaves fled to Luzon, and the Spanish raised pigs like pigs for several years, and finally showed their fangs ten years ago.
Ten years ago, when the Central Plains was in a bloody state and Hou Xuanyan was busy fighting a bloody war with the Manchus, there was another wave of massacre of Chinese people in Luzon, and this time more people died and became richer.
When the old man said this, the tears in his eyes were bloody, and he actually cried loudly.
"They chased us Chinese all over the streets, cut off our limbs with knives and threw them into the fire for fun. scalded the baby to death with boiling water, and raped our wife and daughter on the street! They broke my son's tendons, blinded his eyes, cut off his tongue, hung him under a big locust tree by the square, stabbed him with a sword, cut him with a knife, played with the tip of a red-hot iron, and tormented him for several days before tormenting him to death.
They nailed my daughter-in-law's hands and feet to the wooden planks with wooden nails, ran bamboo through my daughter-in-law's body, and cut off her breasts, and she still had my unborn grandchild in her belly, and she was about to give birth in four months. My granddaughter is only nine years old... Oh, my God!
Your Majesty! Please let Your Majesty decide for us! We were born to be Chinese, what sin have we committed? What a crime he committed. ”
Hou Xuanyan's face was bruised, his fists were clenched, and he looked at everything in front of him coldly. Heaven and earth seemed to stand still, and no one spoke on the huge street, only the old man's cry. Even ignorant toddlers are infected by the atmosphere and become afraid to cry.
Everyone's hearts were extremely depressed, as if their hearts had been smashed down by a big stone. Yang Fujin's cheeks were already rippling with tears, and he was sobbing in the carriage in a low voice, and even the elixir was red and swollen eyes.
Hou Xuanyan stood up, and everyone's eyes looked at him together, he was already in Luanyu, one position higher than everyone else, and he was even more upright at this time.
The eyes of the soldiers flashed, and in a trance, it seemed that what was in front of them was no longer His Majesty the Emperor who was laughing and scolding, but the former commander of the fourth battalion of the Northern Expedition, the commander of the Northern Expedition who led the men of the Han family to sweep away the Tartars.
