1137 How to help

At the same time, in many places in the Ming Dynasty, the matter of Xiyi's imminent massacre of the Ming people in Luzon was also slowly spreading and discussing. Especially in Fujian and Guangdong, the spread is faster.

The source was the person in the chat group who saw Zhang Wu's words.

"Have you heard that the Xiyi of Luzon is going to prepare to slaughter the Ming people there!"

"What's going on? Xiyi is so bold that he dares to slaughter our Ming people? ”

"What would you not dare? We Ming people make a lot of money overseas, and they are all red-eyed! As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, isn't Xiyi just barbarians, and it's not normal for Li Lingzhi to faint? ”

"Aren't they afraid of the court's retribution?"

"Revenge from the imperial court? You don't know, in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Xiyi slaughtered once, and 30,000 Ming people, young and old, were all slaughtered by them! As a result, did the imperial court send troops? No! That's why Xiyi's guts are fat! ”

"It's different now, is it? Today's emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, Jianyu, pirates, Hongyi, and Franc Jiren have all been driven and exterminated, and now our Ming Dynasty is completely different from before! ”

"What difference could it make? Luzon is so far away, it is impossible for the imperial court to send troops, right? I don't think it's easy! ”

“……”

Public opinion is probably divided into two factions, two points of view. Most people's opinion is that the imperial court will take care of this matter, after all, the current emperor is not the previous Wanli Emperor!

The people in other places may be more talking after tea and dinner, but the people in Fujian and Guangdong, after hearing the spread of this news, are very anxious. Because most of the Ming people who went to sea to the South Seas were from these two provinces. Unlike other places, they felt that the imperial court would probably not care about the affairs of Luzon!

"Awen, have you heard, those brutes in Luzon want to do it again, how many of your family are in Luzon?"

"yes, I've heard about it too, what should I do? My mother-in-law is dying of tears! ”

"What can we do, go to the government, only the government can take care of this matter!"

"But will the government take care of it? In the past, so many people died, and the result? You don't know, many of the people on the street next door to us can only worship silently, but there is no way to take revenge! Alas, this time they went to sea, they all persuaded them, saying that it was not safe outside, don't go, but they really said it! ”

"Yes, Luzon is too far away, and the imperial court thinks that businessmen are lowly, so it's strange that they can take care of it!"

“……”

Or care is chaotic, or the hurt you have been hurt in the past, which is still fresh in my memory. When the same thing happened again, many people lacked confidence in the government and the imperial court.

But the safety of distant relatives cannot be ignored!

"Let's go, let's go to the government to petition, find the villagers, and let the villagers come forward!"

"Yes, go to the Governor's Palace, Lord Sun is very disgusted with Xiyi, maybe he will send troops!"

"Didn't the government say it, we Ming people have something to do overseas, and we will take care of it, I remember saying it, we have to say the law!"

"That's after the opening of the sea, I want more people to go to sea and want to pump more taxes, so I will say that! But just in time, let's go and ask for an explanation! ”

“……”

As for the safety of his family, even if his family is not in Luzon, he has taken action. Because they're afraid, Xiyi elsewhere will do the same! If the court doesn't care, it will be difficult to guarantee the lives of family members!

The crowd was raging, and slowly gathered a large flow of people, which made the local government very surprised when they saw it, and they were afraid that they would make a mess, so they mobilized manpower one after another, trying to forcibly disband them and prevent them from gathering.

However, it is a matter of family safety, they do not want to have another tragedy in the 35th year of Wanli, and no one listens to the government.

"You guys are so powerful, why don't you go to Xiyi? You know what kind of hero is coming to us people? ”

"That is, what the government said, does it still count? Overseas Mingren, aren't they Mingren? Does the court care about it? ”

"Folks, let's go to the Governor's Mansion and petition Lord Sun!"

“……”

The local government can't suppress it at all, and the more it tries to suppress the matter, the more dissatisfied the people become, and it seems that there is a tendency to intensify under the raging feelings.

At this moment, the local government is in a hurry, if something really goes wrong, that cold-faced Hades won't be able to speak well! For a while, they thought about increasing the intensity of the bullet pressure while reporting the situation to the officials.

However, what they didn't expect was that the arrival of a piece of news unexpectedly made the momentum of wanting to make trouble change immediately.

"Folks, folks, good news, good news!"

"What good news, what good news can there be at this time?"

"Don't you know? The Governor's Mansion had an order early this morning, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Sailor Station to have a look, the sailor who stayed behind is ready to go to the South Seas! ”

"This morning? So fast? Impossible, right? ”

"What's impossible, my youngest son happened to be at home on leave, and he was urgently recruited back, that is, he was going to send troops to Nanyang, saying that he was going to transport our Ming army to Nanyang to save our compatriots!"

“……”

In the beginning, there were still many people who didn't believe it. In fact, they can't be blamed for this, because the reaction of the imperial court is so fast that they can't believe it. Especially when comparing the events of the Wanli period, they couldn't believe that what they heard was true!

However, Sun Chuanting sent troops to Nanyang at the behest of Emperor Chongzhen, which is a fact, Sun Chuanting is also resolute, he has already done it there, and the people who have seen and heard it will naturally know more and more as time passes.

"Don't you know? In fact, the Governor's Mansion had already ordered last night that the naval division was stationed, and last night it began to replenish fresh water to prepare for the voyage. At first, it was so lively, I thought something was going to happen, but I didn't expect to go to a place so far away in the South Seas! ”

"Is the court really so good? How does it always feel like a dream! ”

"You are stupid, are you stupid, today's saint is the first emperor of the ages, and those who commit the great Ming will be punished even if they are far away? The Jianyu in the north is so powerful, it hasn't been destroyed by the emperor in the same way! Didn't we have Xiyi here before, Hongyi is amazing, right? And those pirates, now? Let me tell you, the current Ming is different from the previous Ming! ”

"I don't believe it, Luzon is not a Ming Dynasty, so the emperor will really care about such a distant place?"

“……”

Under the dispute, someone proposed: "Go, go and see, seeing is believing!" ”

This proposal was the most practical, but by the time they arrived, there were no more sailors in the harbor, only a few small boats, and they were alone, looking at the harbor very empty.

Knowing their intentions, the people around them, as well as the people left behind by the sailor, told them that the sailor had been ordered to set off to Annam to transport the Ming army there to Luzon and save the Ming people!

The swiftness of the imperial court's action this time surprised everyone. They didn't expect that the imperial court would care so much about the safety of the Ming people in Luzon. Thinking that their relatives might have hope of survival, they were all excited.

"In the future, when we go to Nanyang, we will no longer be afraid, there will be a court that will make decisions for us, see who dares to bully us!"

"Your Majesty! This is a blessing for our little people! ”

“……“

Of course, the first time I could see that the imperial court really had troops in Nanyang, it was just the people of the naval division. However, the dispatch of troops is a fact, and the news will naturally calm the worries of other places.

This matter, through the chat group, was fed back to Emperor Chongzhen, and he came back to his senses, and immediately issued an order to let the sailors who went south with great fanfare, that is, to let all the people of the Ming Dynasty know that the court is a talk, although it is far away in Nanyang, the court will not let it go, even if it is a war.

This is also a good opportunity to cultivate the Ming people's sense of identity and pride in their country. The feelings of the country and the nation are to be influenced by the imperial court with practical actions, rather than shouting a few slogans with their mouths.

Of course, public opinion propaganda is also very important. The storyteller of the post station system, in the interval between the finished storytelling, began to talk about the affairs of Nanyang Luzon. The newly established news agency is a news agency that is published in real time through chat groups, and it also publishes many things related to Nanyang Luzon. Not only what is happening in Luzon in front of us, but also what happened before, and even all kinds of things that the Ming people went to the South Seas and so on.

Under the powerful public opinion offensive, basically the people in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty will say some news about Nanyang when they meet for a while. It is the lives of nearly 30,000 Ming people, which affects the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty. As long as people's hearts are long, they will worry about whether the people in Luzon will be safe in the end!

Such a thing, if it were changed to before, it would be unimaginable! It's just a matter far away in Luzon, don't say that the news can't be spread, even if it can reach China, except for the families and relatives of those Nanyang Ming people, not many people will care.

However, now that the north of the Ming Dynasty has been flat, although there are still droughts and floods in various places, the imperial court has money and strong disaster relief capabilities, so it will not starve to death. The most important thing is that with the existence of chat groups, a storytelling system and a new newspaper, these measures add up to put the domestic public opinion in the hands of the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen.

This phenomenon, according to the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, is that the people of the Ming Dynasty should increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons, and not only pay attention to the one state and one government, one county and one province around them, and even no longer be limited to the Ming Dynasty, but to open their eyes to the world. Look at how big the world is except for Da Ming! What the outside world is like!

With this foundation, then there will be a good foundation for the next step of the national policy, and the construction of the Great will not set tomorrow.

The current Luzon crisis is one such opportunity!

Of course, no matter what the incident itself is, there is one thing that Emperor Chongzhen has always insisted on is to try his best to save the Ming people in Luzon. For this reason, before he confirmed the news, he issued an order to the officials of various feudal regions to start preparations for the army in Luzon.

"Zhang Wu, how is the situation in Luzon, in the temporary group, every time there is a change, it must be reported!" This is Emperor Chongzhen's request to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu naturally will not fail to follow, and now his status is different, he is quite valued by the Ming people in Luzon, and he sits in the base camp of the Ming people. Therefore, the situation is also understood, and the situation is reported in the group from time to time.

"The Bangbangya people in Luzon have come in a few thousand, about four thousand, about six hundred, and others, a total of nearly six thousand, and they have almost assembled!"

"We are about 7,000 young people, more than 4,000 healthy women, and the rest are old people and children. Now everyone is busy, thickening the courtyard wall, and several nearby manors are connected. ”

"The situation is not very good, we don't have enough knives and guns, we don't have a single hand, and there are too few iron tools."

"The firearms of the Spaniards are too powerful, and our archers only have about a dozen people, all of them are hunters, and there are not many arrows, so they can't fight at all!"

“……”

On this day, Emperor Chongzhen basically only paid attention to this matter, and listened to Zhang Wu feedback the situation in Luzon little by little, and couldn't help but be very anxious.

The Ming people on Luzon tried to use the hastily rebuilt manor as a support to resist the invasion, which was simply unrealistic, and the Spaniards were artillery. The walls of the manor will collapse with just a few shots!

Also, in a hurry, the Luzon Ming people didn't even have enough basic weapons, which was really terrible!

At this time, the muskets of the Spaniards should still be the same as those along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, they are all arquebuses, but the Luzon Ming people have no long-range weapons, only the part of being beaten, three-stage shooting, the Spaniards are not too familiar!

……

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little worried, the distance between Annan and Manila in Luzon was not close, and Zheng Zhilong's sailors could not drive fast when they transported troops over, and it would take time. But how long can the Luzon Ming hold out with their current rudimentary weapons and fortifications?

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen wished that his golden finger was a space door, even if it could only teleport items. In that case, they will directly transfer weapons from the country and arm the Luzon Ming people!

Ah, this system is still too rubbish! Emperor Chongzhen secretly sighed in his heart.

This Luzon is really too far away, and it is not too much to say that it is too much to sigh! The Ming Dynasty has such powerful resources in the airspace, not to mention weapons or anything, firearms alone are more advanced than the Spaniards, but they can't immediately support the Luzon Ming people!

Emperor Chongzhen sighed secretly, then swept through the other temporary groups, as well as the main group, and saw that the messages were swiping the screen, and he was a little angry in his heart: Hmph, they chatted happily!

Thinking like this, he kind of wanted to perform a big silence spell and see how they talked!

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and an idea came to him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed!

With it, there is a way to help the Luzon Ming people immediately, and it can make them hold on longer!

Thinking of this, he immediately took action.
