Chapter 265 Unlucky Wang Jinbao
Fu Wenlong couldn't say anything when he saw Wang Jinbao's appearance, after all, he had been working with him for more than a year. In addition, Wang Jinbao is the confidant of the King of Chu, and Fu Wenlong can't do anything about him.
Fu Wenlong suppressed the fire and said, "Senior Master Wang, now let your people stop." Count how many people are still alive. ”
Wang Jinbao nodded and agreed, and went down to organize people to count the number of people.
Now the whole of Manila has become a big pile of dead people, and the climate in Southeast Asia is hot, and the corpses all over the ground will decompose the next day if they are not buried. Fu Wenlong had no choice but to organize people to bury the body.
It took five busy days for the entire city of Manila to be cleared. At this time, the statistics also came out, and the 30,000 natives in the city were killed, leaving only a few dozen women as military prostitutes. There are more Spaniards left, after all, the houses they live in are mostly made of stone. But in this way, more than 15,000 Spaniards were killed, and more than 8,000 remained, leaving only more than 7,000. But fortunately, it was the sailors, the soldiers, and the civilians who died. Very few of the nobles and missionaries died. This is also a great blessing in misfortune.
There are a lot of property, most of the property looted from the massacre of the Han people half a year ago is where the aborigines are, and this time it was all cheap Fu Wenlong. In addition, the Spaniards got a total of 3,000 catties of gold, more than 500,000 catties of silver, and countless treasures.
Fu Wenlong did not dare to delay, and immediately sent a good report to Zhu Hongsan*, the king of Chu, after the finishing work was completed, and explained the battle situation and captured property to the king of Chu. Of course, Fu Wenlong, who slaughtered Wang Jinbao into the city, used the Spring and Autumn brushwork, not saying that the Spaniards killed them after they surrendered, but that the Spaniards resisted fiercely, and Wang Jinbao had to slaughter the city as a last resort.
But Fu Wenlong's mind was hidden from Zhu Hongsan. Zhu Hongsan was furious when he saw the good news, and ordered that Wang Jinbao didn't kill everyone? Let all his 8,000 men go to the gold mines of Luzon to dig for a month. Meaning you can't kill? If no one is mining, you go.
The order was sent to Luzon, and Fu Wenlong said to Wang Jinbao: "Master Wang, I can't help it, the order of the King of Chu." ”
Wang Jinbao said with a bitter face: "Lord Governor, can you find a good mine for my brother to dig?" ”
Letting Wang Jinbao and them go to mining is to punish them, and they must not be exhausted to death, and the food and salt water are guaranteed normally, which is equivalent to a month of field training. But it's not good to go down for such a month.
A month later, Wang Jinbao's task was changed to arresting the natives, who were the main laborers. Wang Jinbao was also angry with these Southeast Asian monkeys, so he worked very hard to arrest them, and arrested more than 10,000 people in less than a month. These people immediately threw themselves into the mines of the Spaniards to dig gold and produce rice for the evil Chu king Zhu Hongsan.
Luzon is rich in local products, and the natives are very lazy, they used to starve to death as long as they had a few banana trees, but this time they fell into the hands of Fu Wenlong. In the past, when he was in Annan, Fu Wenlong was not bad to the locals, after all, the people of Annan spoke Han and wore Hanfu, so they were the objects that could be educated in Fu Wenlong's eyes. However, many of the natives in Luzon do not wear clothes, which is a savage in the eyes of a traditional scholar like Fu Wenlong, so can they be polite to them?
The islands of Luzon had a population of about three million at this time, and rudimentary tribal confederations had already formed in some places. However, during the years of Fu Wenlong's reign, the number of indigenous people in Luzon fell by half. Later, Wang Jinbao was a little dizzy when he saw Fu Wenlong.
"It's still these stinky old men with black hearts, I was so tired that I killed 30,000 people in one night. These stinky old nine killed millions of people in a matter of years. ”
This part of Luzon is rich in copper, gold, nickel, and iron ore. Coupled with the hot natural climate, rice can be harvested four times a year, and this place falling into Zhu Hongsan's hands really makes him feel like a tiger. Every year, millions of tons of rice and hundreds of thousands of tons of iron ore and copper ore were transported to Guangdong, which strongly supported Zhu Hongsan's anti-Qing movement.
In the first year of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty and November of the first year of Longwu, Zhu Hongsan received a letter from Fu Wenlong in Dongguan, and the entire Luzon Island fell into his hands, which should have been happy news. But the current Chu King Zhu Hongsan was also not happy, it was not Luzon's business, it was the Longwu Imperial Court in Fujian that sent people to ask Zhu Hongsan to remove the title of prisoner.
The one who came to read the edict of Longwu was Zhu Hongsan's cheap old man Chen Zizhuang. This old guy absconded in disguise after the Manchu occupation of Nanjing, and went to Fujian just in time for the Tang Dynasty to supervise the state. Tang King Zhu Yujian immediately made him the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Later, the king of Tang heard that the king of Chu in Guangdong was also in charge of the country under the support of civil officials, and the king of Tang preemptively proclaimed himself emperor at the insistence of Huang Daozhou and others, so as to pressure the king of Chu to bow his head.
Today is the third time that King Tang has sent someone to let Zhu Hongsan remove the title, the previous two times Zhu Hongsan did not know whether it was okay or not, today Tang King sent Chen Zizhuang here, it seems that there is a result.
Listening to Chen Zizhuang finish reading the edict of the Tang King, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Lord Chen, what is written on the Tang King?" "The edict just now is all in classical Chinese, how can Zhu Hongsan understand it.
Chen Zizhuang also knew that the clans of the Ming Dynasty did not learn anything, so he didn't take it to heart. said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Majesty the Emperor said in the edict that if the King of Chu can remove the title of prisoner, we will recognize all the officials you have sealed, and at the same time give you one million acres of land in Guangdong." ”
"Rely on your mother, it's only a million acres, and the whole of Guangdong's land is owned by the master, and you still need to give it?" I think so, but I can't say that.
Zhu Hongsan suppressed the fire, and then said: "Lord Chen, I heard that what you gave to King Lu is not this condition, doesn't King Tang still want to make King Lu his heir?" ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, your bloodline is estranged, this is not comparable to King Lu at all, plus King Lu has become the emperor's younger brother, can there be two heirs in a country?"
"Lord Chen, so your Tang King's bloodline is noble? Didn't he also stay in Fengyang Prison before? ”
Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but be very unhappy. He didn't have a good impression of this King of Chu, I heard that he was greedy, lewd, and lustful, and he also received the county lord of Changsha Ji into the mansion, and the county lord had a husband. Even if this news is fake, it is true that his daughter is here.
At that time, Chen Zizhuang received the news of his daughter's remarriage from his hometown, and he was so angry that Chen Zizhuang almost wrote a letter home to break off relations with his daughter. Later, it was his younger brother Chen Zisheng who wrote to him to explain the situation, and he learned that it was the king of Chu who ruined his daughter's reputation.
When he knew that Emperor Longwu wanted to send an envoy again, Chen Zizhuang took the initiative to ask for orders to take up this position, otherwise he would not have to do such drudgery with his official position.
Chen Zizhuang originally came to see Zhu Hongsan with a belly of fire, but he was forced to press it just now, but now when he hears Zhu Hongsan insulting his master, he can still endure it.
"King Chu, your background is not very good, you were born in Huguang, you were originally a remote clan, and you became the king of Chu by flattering Emperor Hongguang. Our Emperor Longwu is brave and eloquent, much better than you who are greedy, lewd and lustful! ”
Hearing Chen Ziqiang expose his old background, Zhu Hongsan was annoyed and ashamed, stood up and pointed at Chen Zizhuang: "Old ghost Chen, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"Humph! What can't you do, you drunken? But the old man is not afraid of you, killing me will confirm your mediocre nature! ”
Zhu Hong's hands trembled, he was a little, but was this a problem? How many people did Lao Tzu saved? How many things have you done? Do you know any of these?
Zhu Hongsan shouted: "Someone! The guards outside heard the summons of the King of Chu and rushed in with six people.
Zhang Jiayu on the side saw that Zhu Hongsan was going to kill someone, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Jian Guo is angry, are you going to kill Lord Chen in the name of his loyalty?" ”
"That's right, this old guy can't be killed, he is the ground-sitting cannon in Guangzhou, the idol of the whole Guangdong Shilin, killing him will lose the hearts of the Guangdong scholars. In addition, Chen's pregnancy doesn't matter if his wife dies or not, but the child in his belly is his own flesh and blood. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan suppressed his anger and said to the six guards: "Drive this old guy away for me." ”
Chen Zizhuang waved his sleeves, raised his head and said, "King Chu, you haven't replied to me yet." ”
Seeing Zhu Hongsan's dark face, Zhang Jiayu stood up and said, "Lord Chen, we have to discuss such a big matter with the cabinet, please wait in Dongguan for a few days." ”
Chen Zizhuang glanced at Zhang Jiayu, snorted and turned his head out.
Seeing Chen Zizhuang go out, Zhu Hongsan scolded: "This old guy will be killed by lightning sooner or later!" ”
Zhang Jiayu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhu Hongsan like this, and said: "Prison country, Chen Zizhuang is like this, I have heard of his name for a long time when I was in Guangzhou, his personality is old and strong, and his sex is like fire. ”
This is true, Zhu Hongsan remembered that Lingnan Sanzhong Chen Zizhuang was later sawed to death by Tong Yangjia with a big saw, and he deserved to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking that Zhu Hongsan was in a much better mood, he felt that this Chen Zizhuang was an object to fight for.
"His Royal Highness, this is the third time that the Tang King has come to envoys, and they have been fooled before, but this time Chen Zizhuang is afraid that he will not be able to fool him."
Zhu Hongsan nodded, as the time traveled further, his historical memory of Nanming became more and more blurred. Now I only remember that behind Hongguang is Longwu, and behind is Yongli. As for how many years Longwu persisted, I don't remember anything. Therefore, the first few perfunctory envoys, the calculation was that Longwu did not have a long time to live. But I didn't expect Zhu Yujian to live well in Quanzhou for half a year, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been disgraced in Nanzhili and Zhejiang in the past few months, and I don't have time to go south to clean up this Zhu Yujian.
Zhu Hongsan didn't know that this was the Nanzhili army he sent to help Zhu Yujian a lot. Li Zhi did a good job along the Yangtze River and Zhejiang, containing the Manchu army in large numbers and leaving the Manchus without time to move south.
Zhu Hongsan thought for a long time and said, "That's it for today, you go and make arrangements, and tomorrow morning summon all the cabinet members to discuss this issue." ”
