Chapter 161, The War Caused by the Expeditionary Fleet (2)

Zheng Sen's sudden anger startled Li Xiangjun, so much so that she shook her hand and knocked over all the tea on the table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the sound of the tea being knocked over, Zheng Sen noticed that he seemed to be scared of the little girl next to him. However, he couldn't take too much etiquette at this time, so he nodded to Li Xiangjun and said, "The affairs of the troupe are all entrusted to the girl, if something happens, I will deal with it immediately." ”

Li Xiangjun also hurriedly got up and said: "Since the son has something, the little woman should naturally continue to disturb, and the little woman retired first." ”

Zheng Sen nodded, and said to Liu De: "Ade, you arrange for someone to send Miss Li back to the hotel." In addition, let someone prepare a car for me, so that the Feiyan, Qingfeng, Streamer, and Piaofeng are all ready to go to sea. ”

"Yes, Major General!" Liu De immediately stood up and replied loudly.

Zheng Sen nodded and walked out of the room.

"Zhang Chao, a few of you send Miss Li back." Liu De immediately called a guard. Then he chased in the direction of Zheng Sen.

Li Xiangjun didn't understand what was going on, but it was hard to ask, so he could only follow the guards. As soon as he reached the door of the small courtyard, he heard the sound of a leather whip flicking from the door, and then the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling. The sound was getting farther and farther away, and by the time Li Xiangjun walked to the door, the carriage was already a little far away.

Back in the hotel, Li Xiangjun found that Fang Yizhi and Gu Jiang were also not there. So she sat down in her room, took out some new tunes that Zheng Sen had given her, and figured it out......

In the afternoon, Fang Yizhi and Gu Jiang came back from outside. Li Xiangjun wanted to ask them if he knew what was going on, but he thought again: "If there is something important, Da Mu thinks that it should be kept secret, and the two of Ning will naturally tell them that if they don't want to, he will tell them about it, and it may not be in line with his wishes." ”

So Li Xiangjun didn't ask much.

In the evening, Zheng Sen's carriage stopped outside the door of the hotel, and Li Xiangjun saw Zheng Sen and Liu De coming in through the door from the small window upstairs, and Liu De walked straight to the small building where Fang Yizhi and Gu Jiang lived.

"Looking at the way he walks, I'm afraid something really has happened." Li Xiangjun thought so.

At this time, there was a knock on the door below, and then after a while, I saw the maid Huan'er come upstairs and said to her: "Zheng Gongzi is here, saying that he has something to discuss with the girl." But I want to invite Zheng Gongzi to come up and sit."

Li Xiangjun heard Huan'er say, "I have something to discuss with the girl", and couldn't help but be happy in my heart, so she said: "Needless to say, don't go to Zheng Gongzi quickly." So he looked in the mirror and tidied up his hair slightly. I saw Zheng Sen follow Huan'er upstairs.

"Brother Damu, please sit here." Li Xiangjun stood up, picked up the teapot, and made a pot of tea for Zheng Sen first. He smiled again: "This tea was originally given to the little woman by Brother Damu, and now the little woman uses it to entertain Brother Damu." ”

Zheng Sen took the tea, took a sip, and put it aside.

Li Xiangjun saw that Zheng Sen's face was particularly resentful, so he said: "I don't know if Brother Damu is condescending, but what do you have to say to the little girl." ”

"There is indeed something to talk to Xiangjun, Mizhi, and Ningren. I thought that Miss Xiangjun was not as convenient as them to walk, so I asked Liu De to invite them to come here to talk together, disturbing the girl, and hoping to forgive the sin. ”

Hearing Zheng Sen's words, Li Xiangjun smiled, but he really had a feeling of brilliance, and Zheng Sen couldn't help blinking his eyes. I heard Li Xiangjun say: "The son is Xiangjun's...... Friend, come to Xiangjun, it's too late for Xiangjun to like it, will it be disturbing there? ”

At this time, there were footsteps on the stairs again, but it was Gu Jiang and Fang Yizhi who walked up.

"Damu, what's going on?" Gu Jiang asked.

"Mr. Ningren, Mr. Mizhi......" Zheng Sen hurriedly stood up to salute, and after the two sat down, Zheng Sen said: "Originally, Zheng Sen wanted the two gentlemen and Miss Xiangjun to stay here for a few more days, but he didn't want a big event to happen...... The Spaniards in Luzon began massacring the Han Chinese living on the island a few days ago, and it is said that tens of thousands of Han Chinese were killed. Zheng Sen categorically can't watch my Han people being slaughtered arbitrarily, and he must seek justice for them. Therefore, the boy planned to show his father, so he took my Zheng family's fleet, on the one hand, to go south to fight the Spaniards, and on the other hand, to rescue some of those who had not yet been killed. I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to the teachings of the two gentlemen here anymore. Luzon Island is thousands of miles away, and the boy may not be able to come back for a year and a half. I wonder if Miss Xiangjun and the two gentlemen are going back to Nanjing? ”

Gu Jiang said: "Who is this Spaniard?" And where is Luzon? How can there be Han Chinese on the island? And why did the Spaniards slaughter them? ”

"Does Mr. Ning Ren know about Yashan back then? In that year, the battle of Yashan, the land of China sank, and there were people in China who could not bear to live in Hu Chen, but ventured to the sea, and died for life, and as for a large island in the south, because they were Song people and lived abroad, in order to show that they did not forget their homeland, they named this island Luzon. Later, I expelled the Tatars from Emperor Taizu and restored China, but these people have long passed away, and their children and grandchildren have been living on that island for several generations, and my grandfather's graves are also on this island, so naturally I don't want to come back. This is the origin of the Han people on Luzon, and they are all loyal and good. Speaking of this, Zheng Sen couldn't help but sigh, and continued:

"As for Spain, it is a big country in Tessie, and it is the most unfaithful. At that time, the Spaniards sailed to a continent called the Americas, where there was a country called the Incas, which was rich in gold. The Spaniards coveted the wealth of their country, so they went out and became criminals. However, the Inca was large, but the Spaniards came. Earnings are limited. The Spaniards lied and wanted to make peace with the Inca kings. The Inca was simple, and could not see through its tricks to facilitate peace talks. The Spaniards took the Inca king hostage and killed all his ministers, saying, 'Give me a great ship of gold, and you will release the king.'" 'The Inca was given the financial resources of the poor country. However, when the Spaniards got this gold, they still did not let go of the king, and asked for a mutual market. The Inca had no choice but to allow it. The Spaniards knew that there had been no smallpox cholera in the Americas since ancient times, and their people had no ability to resist the disease, so they forced the Incas to buy the things worn by cholera smallpox patients at a high price. The Incas didn't know what to do, and in order to rescue the king, they even bought it back. Soon after, there was a great epidemic in the country, and nineteen people died. At this time, the Spaniards had already brought a large army from the country, so they took this opportunity to immediately turn their faces, first kill the Inca king, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the Incas. and they have destroyed their kingdoms, and they have taken their lands, and they have killed their people......"

When Gu Jiang heard Zheng Sen talk about this, he couldn't help it anymore, and said: "There is such a beast-like country in the world!" I'm afraid that even Jianshen can't catch up with them so ferocious. ”

Zheng Sen said: "Spain, like Jianxuan, is based on profit. When it comes to competitiveness, it is much stronger than a rabble. Later the Spaniards also arrived in Luzon. Destroyed the state of Luzon, occupied the territory of the state of Luzon, and started trading here. During the Wanli period, the imperial court sent envoys to Luzon. The Spaniards feared that the imperial court wanted to capture Luzon and covet the wealth accumulated by the Han for several generations, so they massacred the Han Chinese. He also sent messengers to deceive the court, but the court did not know about it, and did not ask about it. However, my Han people are industrious, and after a few decades, some of them have become rich, and the result is ...... It's really unbearable!

Zheng Sen knew that the imperial court was now unable to deal with those Spaniards. But the kid can't sit idly by. Early tomorrow morning, the kid will go back to Anping first. If the two gentlemen and Miss Xiangjun have time to prepare, they can follow the boy's boat to Anping early tomorrow morning, and then the boy will arrange someone to send the two gentlemen and Miss Xiangjun back to Nanjing. I wonder if the two gentlemen think this is good? ”

Fang Yizhi listened and nodded. Zheng Sen set his eyes on Gu Jiang again, but saw Gu Jiang think for a while and said, "Da Mu, you also know that I don't plan to participate in scientific expeditions anymore recently. Now that this has happened, I wonder if you can take me to Luzon for a trip. Although I don't have any other skills, I can help Damu beat the drum when I watch Da Mu kill the enemy. ”

Zheng Sen thought for a while and said, "The Spaniards are fierce, and it is very dangerous to go here......

Hearing this, Gu Jiang laughed and said, "Da Mu, compared to me, you can be regarded as the son of a daughter." It's a lot more delicate than me. You're not afraid, so what am I afraid of? And as you know, I've always liked to talk about soldiers. It's just that most of my talking skills are inferior to Zhao Kuo. Now is the right time to take this opportunity to see what the real war is like. ”

Zheng Sen listened, thought about it and said, "If this is the case, then I will be wronged Ning and I will be on the same battleship." ”

……

Early the next morning, Zheng Sen took a few people on the "Feiyan".

"Damu, I saw several more of these clippers on the dock yesterday, and now they are all dispatched?" Gu Jiang asked.

Since Gu Jiang was going to participate in this operation, Zheng Sen didn't intend to hide this kind of trivial matter from him, so he nodded and said, "Exactly, my family's fleet is scattered in all directions, and we need to gather them together to attack those Spaniards." So yesterday afternoon, the ships all departed. ”

"I see, Damu, you can be regarded as a sword and a shoe." Gu Jiang nodded and said, "I see that you still seem to be a little worried, I don't know what the problem is, say it, let's take a closer look at it?" ”

Zheng Sen listened and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect such a thing in advance." We have one of the strongest warships, but now we are on our way to the south for long-distance training, and I have sent my clipper straight to Batavia, where it awaits it. There are still expedition missions along the way, and I believe that it will go slower, maybe it will be able to catch up. Without this ship, the combat effectiveness of our fleet will be reduced by half. ”
