1203 The emperor will try his best to find a way
The first man to speak, who was also the one who was hung with Su Minggang, was called Su Minglun, and Su Minggang was of the same clan, he listened to the words of his companion, and couldn't help but sigh again and said: "Can't compare, before the Luzon incident, the imperial court had never made such a move, and suddenly appeared in Luzon, those Spaniards are said to have no defense at all, so the Ming people there can be saved by the imperial army." It is said that if the imperial army had been a little later at that time, it would have been able to avenge them! ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Not only are we far away, but there are also many enemies of the Ming Dynasty in between, not to mention that these Dutchmen are still on guard, as long as there is news that the imperial army is coming, they will definitely kill us all." ”
"Yes, the Dutch are much stronger than the Spaniards. Just look at the port, so many warships, and so many cannons, even if the imperial army calls, whether they can win or not is two different things! Su Mingyan's companion also sighed, "And now they look at us very dead, those damn pirates, even if we want to fight with them, we don't have the ability!" And on the Luzon side, at least there was still a fight, and it persevered until the arrival of the imperial army. ”
Hearing them say this, the third man suddenly covered his face and said with a little cry: "You don't know, I really regret it, I shouldn't have listened to the advice of the imperial court, and I wanted to stay in Haojing Ao to make more money, but I was robbed by those damn Francos." I heard that the Dutch were good to us, so I followed Su Lao again. As a result, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back in this life! I could have lived a good life in China! ”
As he spoke, he let go of his hand, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, "I just want to make more money so that I can marry Cuihua from the next village." Now, now it's definitely someone else's woman! The court didn't know that we were about to be tortured to death by the Dutch here, and we probably won't be able to go back to our hometown! ”
Hearing his words, the other two couldn't open their mouths to comfort him, could it be that you can go back, your future daughter-in-law is still waiting for you? This is obviously impossible, too fake, there is no need for consolation, only accept reality!
Thinking like this, for a while, no one spoke again, and the heavy atmosphere became more and more heavy, gathering here at Su Lao was just a routine, in fact, they all knew that it was useless at all.
After a while, the man who wanted to think about Cuihua glanced at Su Minggang, who continued to close his eyes, sighed, wiped away his tears, stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Su Minggang, who was lying on the chair, suddenly opened his eyes. There was a little surprise on his face, which was a little out of place with the atmosphere in this courtyard.
Then he sat up straight, and then said in a somewhat loud voice: "Wait! ”
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look at him, and when they saw his expression, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, now in this situation, how can you Su Lao still laugh?
"The old man knows why the Luzon Ming people were able to escape the slaughter of the Spaniards!" Su Minggang said this, shouted into the house, and came out of a middle-aged woman whose eyes seemed to be a little swollen with crying, it should be his daughter-in-law, let him go to the door to watch.
His actions immediately attracted the attention of the three men in the courtyard, who were a little strange and quickly gathered around Su Minggang's side.
Su Minggang looked at the three people in front of him and said in a low voice: "First of all, I want to tell you a very bad news......
The three men who came around, originally saw him with a happy expression, and inexplicably looked forward to it, waiting for him to say the good news. Unexpectedly, this opening turned out to be very bad news. At this moment, all three of them didn't know what to say.
"A definite piece of news, no need to doubt it." Su Minggang didn't care what their mood was, he just whispered to the three of them, "The Dutch are going to kill us all after we finish building Batavia!" ”
Hearing the words "......" the three men couldn't help but look at each other, this news couldn't be worse!
In fact, they already had such an expectation in their hearts, these Dutch did not allow them to leave, and used them to death, not even appeasing them at all, and also transferred Liu Xiang's subordinates to watch them work. Because of this, they are very pessimistic about returning to their hometown.
At this time, when they heard Su Minggang say this, they didn't doubt it, so Su Minglun smiled bitterly and said, "Old Su, it's all like this, you can still laugh?" ”
Is there joy in suffering, is there despair? Or both!
Who knew that Su Minggang heard him say this, but he didn't respond as he thought, but waved his hand, signaling the three of them to come closer.
This mysterious and mysterious appearance made the three of them forget their sorrow for a while, and remembered what Su Minggang had just said, so they came over with a little curiosity again.
"The reason why the Luzon Ming people were able to be rescued by the imperial army in time was because Zhang Wuzhang was able to directly contact the imperial court. And now, the old man can also directly contact the imperial court, don't hide it from you, the old man can contact us, or our Ming Emperor! ”
After he said this, the three of them glanced at each other, and it was obvious that their faces were even more ugly. Among them, Su Mingyan even stretched out his hand and wanted to probe Su Minggang's forehead, as if he thought that he might have a fever, and he was burned!
When Su Minggang saw it, he was a little angry in his heart, and he glared at his clansman with his eyes open, so that he finally withdrew his hand, and then he whispered: "Don't worry, the old man is not talking nonsense." As long as you inquire more about the situation in Luzon, you will know that Lao Yu is right! ”
Speaking of this, he also understood the thoughts of these three people, so he explained: "Now our Ming Emperor has this ability, no matter how far away, as long as he exerts the power of the Son of Heaven, he can choose someone to be the emperor's eyes and ears." Fortunately, just now, the old decay was chosen. On the Luzon side, it is Zhang Wu. If you don't believe it, at least those pirates should know that whether it is Luzon or in the army of the Ming Dynasty, there are eyes and ears chosen by the emperor, such as old decay. ”
He couldn't explain it in detail, so that's all he had to say. Anyway, he just told them that he could contact the emperor directly.
In this era, the emperor is still supreme, he is the son of heaven, and he has a special ability, which is understandable. What's more, these people have never read a book. Therefore, Su Lao, who they have always been more convinced, spoke so confidently, and said that there were practical examples to inquire about, which made them doubt their beliefs.
After they looked at each other, Su Mingyan couldn't help but turn his head, looked at Su Minggang, and asked in a low voice with a look of surprise, "Really?" ”
When Su Minggang heard this, he was a little unhappy, and replied in a low voice: "When did the old man deceive you?" ”
Hearing this, the man who wanted Cuihua couldn't help but mumble in a low voice: "It's not that Su Lao said that the Dutch are better than the Spaniards!" ”
Hearing this, Su Minggang couldn't help but be stunned, and then his old face turned red, this is really a stain on his life. If it weren't for that, I feel sorry for them, and I wouldn't have been hung in front of the governor in the first place!
Su Minglun said a fair word at this time: "Okay, Su Lao was also deceived by the Dutch!" ”
That person didn't actually mean to complain, but Su Minggang said that, and he also said it in passing. Therefore, after Su Ming said it, he lowered his head and did not speak.
Seeing this, Su Ming turned his head to look at Su Minggang again, and asked suspiciously: "Old Su, you said that you could contact the emperor, what did the emperor say?" ”
Hearing this, the other two raised their heads again and listened with curiosity.
"The Emperor is very concerned about us, and already knows our situation, and also knows that the Dutch will kill us all after the construction of Batavia is completed. Therefore, a decree has been decreed to save us. Su Minggang said in a low voice with a hint of excitement.
He never thought in his life that he would have the opportunity to talk directly to Emperor Daming!
"Old Su, shouldn't you be comforting us?" Su Mingyan listened, and did not have the surprise that Su Minggang imagined, but said suspiciously.
As soon as he heard this, Su Minggang suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand to fight, and said at the same time: "You kid, you still don't believe in the words of the old man?" ”
"Believe, I believe!" When Su Mingyan saw it, he hurriedly responded.
He was watched by Su Minggang since he was a child, and he didn't dare to disobey Su Minggang.
But Su Minggang is not stupid, he can see that his nephew still doesn't believe it.
At this moment, the man who wanted Cuihua interjected and said, "Su Lao said this, I thought about it just now, it seems that the emperor does have very powerful means. But it is said that it seems that I heard that it is only the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei who have such great skills. ”
Hearing this, several other people all turned their heads to look at him, all with surprise. However, Su Minggang found someone who could prove his words, and the other two were surprised to hear that there was really such a thing.
Although this man is very uncertain, for them, it is enough.
Therefore, Su Minggang immediately whispered: "Stupid, whether it is a factory guard or not, it is not up to the emperor to decide." ”
Hearing this, he saw the three people who were looking at him, and they still didn't believe it. Suddenly, he had an idea, and said seriously: "Okay, since the matter has come to this, let's talk about it." In fact, the old man is the person of Jinyiwei and the secret agent of Jinyiwei! ”
At this time, he didn't care, he pretended to be first.
As soon as he said this, the three men were stunned. Su Lao is a secret agent of Jinyiwei?
"Su Lao, you ...... Are you really a secret agent of Jinyiwei? Su Minglun stammered, "I'...... How did I never know? ”
"Stupid! The old man said that he was a secret agent of Jinyiwei! Su Minggang began to break around, "Do you know what a secret agent is?" Can an agent make people know who they are? ”
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking to themselves, it seems that too, the reason why a secret agent is a secret agent is because of a secret word.
Su Minggang didn't want to waste time on this topic, so he pulled back to the topic and said: "The emperor knows our situation, and he has already issued an order to save us......"
"Old Su, how can you save it? We're not in the same situation as Luzon......"
Before Su Ming's words were finished, he was glared back by Su Minggang, but he understood the expectations in the hearts of several of them, so he immediately replied: "First, we need to delay time, try to give the imperial court more time to prepare." Second, the affairs of Batavia should be reported to the court as comprehensively as possible. Third, the surrounding terrain or something should also be reported to the imperial court! ”
This time, no one else interjected, all listening to him.
"The first thing, which requires all of us to work together, is the most troublesome thing."
"The second thing, the old decay has been reported to the emperor, you don't have to worry about it!"
"The third thing, I remember that you have been to carry sand and gravel before, you should have an impression, and you should talk about it with the old man. Oh, by the way, it's better to be farther away, and the activities of the locals, and you can also explore a thing or two. ”
Listening to Su Minggang say in such detail, the three men couldn't help but believe a little more. If you break it blindly, the first is not in line with Su Lao's personality, and the second is not so detailed!
The man who wanted Cuihua grabbed the straw of hope, and couldn't help but confirm: "Old Su, if you say such a thing, the imperial court will be able to rescue us from the butcher's knife of the Dutch?" ”
"I can't say anything more for the time being. But the old man can tell you......" Speaking of this, Su Minggang leaned forward and said very seriously, "The emperor has spent a lot of effort to save us. Later, you'll understand! ”
At this moment, the three men were obviously a little excited. But Su Minggang continued to say very seriously: "There is one point, the old decay must be emphasized, the longer it drags on, the stronger the imperial court, and the greater the hope of rescuing us." Therefore, in any case, we will try to delay it a little longer and give the imperial court more opportunities to prepare. ”
Hearing this, the three men all became serious. This matter concerns the lives of more than 4,000 compatriots, and we must do our best to do it. But at the same time, they also realize that it's hard!
Not to mention that the Dutch were repeatedly urging the deadline, and the pirate overseers alone made them feel a little breathless. If it's just the Dutch, maybe they can fool them. But those pirates are also wise people, who know the roots, and they are not easy to fool.
When Su Minglun talked about this problem, the other two were also gloomy, and they felt that it was very difficult!
When Su Minggang saw it, he frowned and said, "It's really hard to deal with, but even if it's difficult to deal with, for our own sake, we have to do it." The old man touched the situation of those pirates, and then told the emperor to see if there was a way on the emperor's side? ”
"Old Su, do you dare to disturb the emperor over such a trivial matter?" When Su Minglun heard this, he asked in a low voice in surprise.
When Su Minggang heard this, he said with a grateful expression: "What the emperor said himself, this is a big matter for us, if there is any difficulty, just say it, the emperor will try his best to find a way!"
