The mountain rain is about to come, and many signs of the big things that are about to happen on Luzon Island have already been revealed.

Outside the barber shop, there were several young and strong Ming people. The door of the shop was hidden, and there was no light outside. However, if you walk into the back yard, you can see that there are actually a lot of people gathered here.

The younger ones are standing on the periphery; The older ones are discussing around a table in the middle of the courtyard. In the whole courtyard, except for the moonlight, there was only one dead wind lamp, which emitted a little light and illuminated a place as large as the table.

"Brother Zhang, you have experience, tell me, how should we get through this difficulty?" The old king was the first to ask Zhang Wudao.

The other older ones also looked at Zhang Wu with concern, with varying degrees of nervousness on their faces.

Zhang Wu was actually quite embarrassed, in the past, he was still young, and the things in advance were only figured out later. But for specific things, he didn't expect such a thing to happen at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and now let him give you ideas, it's still such an important thing, to put it mildly, he is a little bottomless, a little bit undare!

It is estimated that he could see what he was thinking, and one of the burly middle-aged men suppressed his voice, but his voice was still a little loud: "Brother Zhang, it's okay, just say it, it's better than if we don't have a clue, so as not to be the same as back then!" ”

When several other people heard this, they also encouraged Zhang Wu and asked him to let go of any baggage and tell them about the situation to deal with.

Zhang Wu looked at their expectant eyes, and finally nodded vigorously, and then pondered for a while and said, "Since everyone believes in me, then I will talk about our current situation according to the events of the year!" ”

Seeing a few people nodding, he continued: "From what we know so far, the Bangbangya people have not yet gathered, and it is impossible for the Spaniards to do it on their own. This shows that we still have time. This is one of them! ”

"Second, we can't trust those rich businessmen who usually have a good relationship with the Spaniards, especially those who have been close to the Spaniards recently. But we can warn them not to trust the Spaniards. In the past, the Spaniards deceived people like them first, and when the big thing was decided, they killed those people, and this is what they learned from the past! ”

"Third, we need to contact as many compatriots as possible, organize each other, and act together on weekdays, and don't be left alone! And choose a leader, in case something happens, don't panic! ”

"Fourth, at this time, it is not the time for Gu Xiaojia, those who have money to contribute, those who have powerful contributions, those who can make gunpowder, firearms, all put together, and all kinds of weapons, which can be used, must be collected with attention, knives, guns and sticks. In this way, we will not be unarmed and unable to resist! ”

After saying four o'clock in one breath, Zhang Wu finally stopped, and then fell into memories again.

Others listened and nodded. Seeing that he stopped talking. They didn't make a sound, they just watched Zhang Wu pondering, not wanting to disturb his train of thought.

After a long while, Zhang Wu raised his head again, looked at the few people in front of him and continued: "We must also choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in advance, once something happens, everyone can quickly retreat, and we can rely on the terrain to resist those robbers!" ”

When everyone else heard this, they started to think about such a place. This barbershop is just down the street, and it is clearly not suitable as a stronghold.

Before they could come up with one, two, three, they heard movement outside. Two young men entered quickly, panting, and walked quickly to the table in the middle of the courtyard. One of them looked at the burly middle-aged man and said, "Master, in the south of the city, there are our Mingren's shops, and several of them have been smashed by those widows. There is no reason to just rush in and smash it. A few people were also injured by them. When we went to stop us, the Spaniards drove us back at gunpoint. Those pirates, right behind the Spaniards, laughed triumphantly at us! ”

In Luzon, there are not only Ming people, but also Japanese people, but there are few of them, only a thousand people. In the original history, these Japanese also participated in the massacre of the Ming people.

As soon as he heard this, the burly man immediately stood up, took one of his apprentices beside him, threw him a stick, and thought about going out.

"Master Niu, what are you doing?" When Zhang Wuyi heard this, he hurriedly drank and said, "The Spaniards are protective, what can you do when you go?" Can you be faster than their muskets? ”

Niu Dazhuang, in the Manila Martial Arts Hall, his apprentices are all Mingren. At this time, when he heard Zhang Wu's words, he reluctantly stood up and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

At this time, Zhang Wu, either with more experience, or put aside his ideological baggage, seemed very decisive, and immediately replied: "If you want to go out now, you will definitely not be able to come back." We must unite more Ming people and do what I just said! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to the young people and said: "Remind our compatriots, during this time, don't think about doing business to make money, it's best that all the Ming people don't do business, let the Spaniards know that this Luzon Island, it can't be done without our Ming people!" ”

At this point, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately gone. The Spaniards are not stupid pigs, of course they know that Luzon cannot be without the Ming people, but they don't care, and it is simply unrealistic to hope that the butcher will put down the butcher's knife.

So, several of them began to focus on discussing where to become their stronghold, and finally circled a few points, all of which were the estates of the wealthy among the Ming people outside the city.

Then, the eloquent people immediately went to lobby, while the others also did what Zhang Wu said, and this night, many people were destined to be sleepless.

It didn't take long for the barbershop to be quiet again. Only the old Wang Tou and Niu Dazhuang were left to accompany Zhang Wu. Of course, they also had apprentices with them, but they were all scattered in the courtyard or outside watching the movement.

Suddenly, a sigh sounded, and in the courtyard that had just quieted down, it was particularly harsh.

When Lao Wang heard this, he immediately became nervous, looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Wu smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw him like this. It seems that the wife and children of the old king's family, two sons, and three daughters have a heavy burden in their hearts. I also figured it out by myself, and I didn't have a family, so I didn't have so many worries.

"Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, let's sum it up together!" Niu Dazhuang's face was also worried, and he looked at Zhang Wu and said.

Zhang Wu looked at the two of them, sighed again, and didn't hide it from them: "We are just looking at the destiny of heaven, you may see if you can find a boat and go to sea secretly, at least send your family to a nearby place." ”

The big ship must be controlled by the Spaniards, and if the small boat goes to sea, the risk is high, and it is estimated that it is not much better than staying in Luzon.

When the old Wang heard him say this, he immediately reached out and grabbed Zhang Wu's arm, and asked hurriedly, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Don't...... Is it useless for us to do so much? ”

Niu Dazhuang also wanted to ask, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he frowned, and changed his words: "If we send someone to contact Liu Dazhuang's family, give money, and we will make up the money to come out, do you say they are willing to come to help?" ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and explained to the old king: "If there are no reinforcements from outside, what if we can hold on, there will always be a day when we will be breached!" ”

Lao Wang Tou knew that Niu Dazhuang was from a military family before, and he seemed to be a leader, and he couldn't stand the oppression from above and fled to Luzon. If he says so, then there must be no falsehood. Suddenly, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, we give money, don't those pirates just want money, how about we pool the money?" ”

"Counting on those pirates?" Zhang Wu listened, shook his head after asking rhetorically, and said, "Don't think that they will protect us if they are Ming people, they won't do a loss-making business." Let them go to war with the Spaniards and his lackeys, I don't believe it! ”

When he finished saying this, his tall apprentice suddenly interjected and said, "Master, you can ask the court for help!" ”

"The Imperial Court? Which court? When Niu Dazhuang heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "Don't tell me that you expect our own court, right?" You are young, I don't know how many people's hearts were chilled by the massacre and the reply of the imperial court. Besides, when I escaped, I just couldn't stand the dirty things in the Ming army, and I expected such a court? With that kind of army, the sun is really coming out of the west! ”

"No, it's not the same as before...... tall apprentice hurriedly defended, but before he could explain any more, he saw Niu Dazhuang spitting on the ground, turned around, and said straight to Zhang Wu and Lao Wangtou: "If you want me to see, we still have to find Liu Da Master, this is our way of life!" ”

Speaking of which, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he said some more things in his memory. This made the old Wang Tou also nod his head, they were all contemporaries, and they left Daming at about the same time.

In the end, both of them decided to lobby others and pool money to invite Liu Da's family to come to the rescue. This matter is also very urgent, and the old Wang Tou and Niu Dazhuang both felt a little impatient, and immediately left the barber shop, regardless of the night, to get busy with this matter.

The courtyard was quiet again, Zhang Wu was busy all day, and he was a little tired, so he went to lie down on the Taishi chair, looked up at the bright moonlight, and was stunned!

And his apprentice went to the back room to get a blanket, covered the master's legs, and muttered at the same time: "The current court is different from before, it is said that the emperor is wise and martial, cares about the people, and is an unprecedented emperor!" ”

He hadn't said that before. At this time, half of what he said was actually his own thoughts, just to prove that his point of view was correct. After all, when he left Daming, Daming was no longer what Niu Dazhuang described.

To tell the truth, if Zhang Wu knew it himself, he was more inclined to Niu Dazhuang's statement, but just this morning, his two apprentices had already told him some about Da Ming. Hearing it again at this time, he suddenly moved in his heart, thinking that he hadn't added some kind of chat group, weren't there all Ming people, why not go in and ask?

Thinking so, he closed his eyes and entered the chat group with his consciousness.

At first, he didn't speak, but just observed for a while, and found that the people in the group were talking about the topics of the Ming Dynasty, some chatting about the wind and snow, and some talking about the new salt method or something. Whether he understood the meaning of what they said or not, at least one thing, he could be sure, these should be Ming people.

Confirming this, he finally mustered up the courage and interjected: "Hello, the villain wants to ask, did our Emperor Ming say that those who commit crimes against the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away?" ”

After finishing speaking, he felt something shortcoming, and immediately added: "Also, the emperor still said that our people of the Ming Dynasty are outside, I mean overseas, if we are bullied, will they also make decisions for us?" ”

His words were quickly swiped off the screen. But in the end, someone saw that there was a person named Wei Mulan, and immediately replied: "Of course! ”

At this time, Wei Mulan was also in Liaodong, and after fighting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, she now governed the place in a wasted place, so that she didn't have to fight everywhere with Lu Xiangsheng as before, so one of the entertainment activities at night was to go to the chat group to watch gossip. As a result, Zhang Wu's statement, which others didn't pay attention to, was noticed by her.

However, Wei Mulan's words were quickly brushed, which made her a little annoyed, and she even swiped two messages and said: "Everyone is quiet, if you have something important to say, please suspend chatting!" ”

Not to mention, what she said was still very effective, and the main chat group area suddenly quieted down.

When Wei Mulan saw it, she immediately seized the time to speak: "Zhang Wu, what do you mean by this?" What's wrong? ”

Seeing this, Zhang Wu couldn't help but be very grateful to Wei Mulan, so he hurriedly replied: "The villain is begging for a life in Luzon, and the Spaniards here seem to want to slaughter our Ming people again." ”

"Want to do it again? What does that mean? Wei Mulan hurriedly asked.

At this time, someone interjected: "What massacre? I'm scared to death, it shouldn't be that you have a conflict with Xiyi, it's a big deal to come back to Daming! ”

"That is, who dares to slaughter our Ming people now?" Someone else followed.

Similar words, it's not just the two of them, it's just a moment of effort, and there is a trend of swiping the screen again.

When Wei Mulan saw it, she knew that it was not good, so she sent two messages in a row: "Important, important: don't talk, listen to his explanation!" ”

At the same time, she was also a little annoyed, it was really unfortunate that the emperor would send out the achievement value tomorrow, but at this time, she had no achievement value at all, otherwise she would not be disturbed if she talked about this person privately.

Luckily, those two pieces of information worked. No one spoke, and Zhang Wu was given another chance, so he saw Zhang Wu and said: "No, in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the Spaniards slaughtered all the Ming people in Luzon, and at least nearly 30,000 Ming people died. Now there are signs that the Spaniards are trying to slaughter us again as they did last time. Now there are more than 30,000 people in Luzon! ”

While he was saying this, Emperor Chongzhen was about to go to bed, and as usual, he went online.
