1134 Looting while the fire is on
In the temporary group of "Luzon Crisis", Zhang Wu first uploaded the pictures he took, and then gave a brief explanation, and then said: "Group leader...... That's the case, Your Majesty. โ
Wen Tiren saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not answer, so he guessed that he might not have seen it. He felt the emperor's attitude in the group yesterday, so he spoke on behalf of Emperor Chongzhen: "It doesn't seem like there is a fake, treat this official @ Your Majesty!" โ
The matter of ordering troops is too big, except for the emperor, even if he is the first assistant, he does not have this power.
So, Zhang Wu saw this person named Yuan Qiao send a sentence: "@ๆฎๆธกไผ็, the Luzon photo has been uploaded, please Your Majesty to take a look!" โ
Seeing this, for some reason, Zhang Wu suddenly became very frightened, he was afraid that these people in this group were actually not the emperor's ministers, but a group of crazy people, acting and playing with him.
didn't see Pudu's immediate reply, Zhang Wu finally couldn't help it, so he asked Yuan Qiao: "This adult, the villain wants to ask, are you really ...... Is it really a Ming official? No, no, no, I'm not suspicious, I ...... I just wanted to make sure ......."
The more he cares, the more scared he is, Zhang Wu is afraid that these are fake, or it is really a coincidence, just to meet the current emperor? If this is really the case, I don't know if it is the blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, no, it is not the blessing that has been cultivated, but the merit of those Ming people who were slaughtered in the past, blessed by heaven!
Wen Tiren saw his words, at this time, there was naturally no need to conceal it, so he took advantage of the time to wait for the emperor to bubble, and replied to Zhang Wu and said: "This official is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, this is the governor of the three provinces of Daming, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, this is the governor of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, and the other one is ......."
Seeing this introduction, Zhang Wu was dumbfounded, and faintly, he had a very bad premonition, how could there be so many unattainable high-ranking officials?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was @ Wen Tiren over, first looked at the photo, confirmed, and then looked at the chat content in the group, he couldn't help but smile. has been letting this five proof, in fact, there is no proof on his side, no wonder he is suspicious.
So, after Wen Tiren finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said: "There is no doubt that what Wen Qing said is true, and I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, I will give you permission to view the folder, and you can go and see the photos of the battles that I have come to the Ming Dynasty! โ
After finishing speaking, he first explained to the group: "Zhuqing, since the matter of Luzon has been confirmed, we will all start acting immediately, not only delaying the opportunity!" โ
"Obey the order!" Everyone in the group immediately responded in unison.
And Zhang Wu, after having permission, went to see the folder where the photos were stored.
For the war of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, almost every battle was photographed; The photos of the royal driving expedition are naturally indispensable, as well as the triumphal parade and so on, as long as it is a big scene, almost all of them have taken pictures, after all, this is a precious historical material.
Zhang Wu was already stunned after opening the folder at one o'clock. Looking at the soldier who was familiar with the red robe, at this moment, he felt extra cordial. Watch them fight on the battlefield, save the people from fire and water, and destroy the enemy......
Just looked at the past one by one, Zhang Wu couldn't help but burst into tears: This is the Ming army, the imperial court prince that I have been looking forward to in my dreams! Look, the people of Liaodong were plagued like that by Jianqing, it was the Ming army that rescued them in the past......
At this time, in reality, the atmosphere in the manor council hall outside Manila, Luzon, was tense, and from time to time someone with a stick or something hurried in, whispered a few words to the butler at the bottom of the steps, and then hurried away, and the butler also entered the council hall from time to time, and gave some updates with a serious face.
After a while, I heard Li Jiacheng say with a serious face: "Everyone, the Bangbangya people have also begun to move, and the situation is very critical. It is estimated that in just these two days, those Xiyi may be able to do something to us. Without further ado, all compatriots, begin to withdraw to the manor! โ
"What can I do about this?" There was a fat man with a big belly, and the sweat was flowing down vigorously, but he didn't care, and said worriedly: "Xiyi has those monkeys as helpers, even if we can hold on, how long can we hold on?" โ
"Yes, if you go around for a long time, just eating is a big problem!" The other whitebeard also had a sad face, "What can I do about this?" โ
Li Jiacheng listened, glanced at a few of them, and suddenly was a little surprised, he found that the barber was crying, it seems that those who have no ability are incompetent, and they are all scared and crying.
Li Jiacheng originally just looked at the previous massacre experienced by the barber, and he had a little experience, plus there were many low-level people on his side, all of whom were strong and strong, and if the fight started, he would have to borrow weight, so he reluctantly agreed to him to discuss the matter. At this time, seeing that he was crying in fright, he was very disdainful in his heart, and slapped the table and shouted: "At the critical moment, since you should lead your compatriots to fight against it, it's a big deal, what is there to cry about!" โ
He slapped the table a little loudly, startling several people in the discussion. Even Zhang Wu in the chat group was shocked by him and quit the chat group.
The others followed Li Jiacheng's gaze and saw that there were tears on Zhang Wu's face, and they couldn't help but be very disdainful, and even the fat man said for this: "Why are you crying, so afraid of death?" โ
Seeing the eyes of other people and listening to the words of this fat man, Zhang Wu came back to his senses, quickly wiped his hand with his hand, was a little embarrassed for a while, and quickly explained: "I didn't cry, really, I didn't cry, it's ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Jiacheng, and said with a little disdain: "Okay, cry or not, everyone has eyes, and I don't have the heart to worry about this now." Everyone, listen to me! โ
Hearing this, several people in the deliberations stopped looking at Zhang Wu, which made Zhang Wu, who wanted to explain, very depressed, but this was not the time to explain, so he also heard what he heard first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiyi's wolf ambition has long been aware of it." Li Jiacheng looked at them and said with a serious face, "Therefore, the contemptible people have already sent people to seek reinforcements and found the ...... of Liu Da's family."
As soon as he said this, all of a sudden, several people on the agenda couldn't help but pay special attention, and even leaned forward, faintly, with expectations.
โโฆโฆ Just yesterday evening, Liu Da's boss replied, saying that if he wants to fight with Xiyi, at the risk of losing his subordinates, he must have to open the silver......"
Li Jiacheng's words were interrupted by the fat man's happy voice, "Want silver?" No problem, it should be, it should be, how can you let Liu Da run for nothing, it definitely can't be like this! โ
At the same time, Whitebeard also looked relaxed when he heard it, stroked his whitebeard and said: "It is worthy of being a compatriot, blood is thicker than water, Liu Da is in charge, good and righteous......"
Li Jiacheng's face did not become relaxed, but stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said, "Everyone, listen to the contemptible man finish speaking." If Liu Da's family asks for less silver, the contemptible can bear it alone, but it's just ...... It's just that this amount ......."
"Li Yuanwai, don't be embarrassed, this is a matter for each of our Ming people, and naturally all Ming people have to pay. Liu Da's family wants more silver, which is understandable, let's all get together and hand over the silver to Liu Da's family as soon as possible. The fat man hurriedly responded.
"Yes, Li Yuanwai, just say it, how much silver do you want? We can all make up for it, no matter how bad it is, there are other families, we can also make up for it! Whitebeard seems to be in a hurry, and he can't wait to take out the silver now, so that he can quickly let Liu Da kill him and save himself.
When Li Jiacheng heard this, he said solemnly: "Liu Da wants silver...... 500,000 taels! โ
"What? How much? The fat man jumped up from his chair in shock, "Five hundred thousand taels? โ
"How can there be so many? Where did you get so much money? Whitebeard accidentally had a few more whitebeards in his hands, but he didn't seem to notice it, and asked with a shocked expression.
"Sure enough, it's the nature of a robber, take the opportunity to ask for a price!" When Zhang Wu heard it, he said angrily.
When Li Jiacheng heard this, he glanced at Zhang Wu, ignored him, and said to the others: "The contemptible people said, if the money is less, the contemptible people can bear it." But 500,000 taels, and there is no counteroffer! โ
"How can this be?" The fat man heard this and shouted, "500,000 taels, this is to scrape all our Ming people in Luzon!" โ
"That's right!" Whitebeard also stood up, looked at Li Jiacheng, and said very sincerely, "For everyone's sake, let's talk to Master Liu, 500,000 taels, I really can't take that much!" โ
Li Jiacheng listened to them, looked at their faces, and understood that these people seemed to be suspicious, as if they were not doing their best, or they wanted to take a cut from it, so he said directly: "If you think that you can talk about reducing the price, the contemptible people can also benefit from it, and you are naturally very happy." I don't know who has this eloquence, so I invite the three masters to come over first, and everyone will talk to the three masters. โ
At this point, he turned his head and ordered his subordinates to invite someone.
When several people here heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised. They didn't expect that Liu Xiang would send his three masters over.
After only a few moments, I saw a man under the guidance of the servant enter the council chamber, his chin held high, with a little toe high.
"Everyone, this is the Liang master." Li Jiacheng stood up and introduced the others with a little flattery.
Subsequently, the people in the conference hall naturally complimented Liang Xiaozhen, accompanied by a smiling face, praised him, praised Liu Xiang, and mentioned in passing whether the silver could be lowered.
Liang Xiaozhen's demeanor was very arrogant, and after hearing their true intentions, he slapped the table and shouted coldly: "We are here to fight to the death, we want you a little money, and we are still thinking about bargaining." In that case, Liang said goodbye! โ
After saying that, he turned around and left, without a trace of hesitation.
When Li Jiacheng and the others saw it, they all panicked, and hurriedly stopped Liang Xiaozhen and made amends with good words. In private, they are all bitter to each other.
500,000 taels, almost all Luzon Ming people are wealthy. Isn't it just to make some money by crossing the ocean and risking your life to come to Luzon? Is that all gone?
Liang Xiaozhen also understood their thoughts, and he said a little impatiently: "Hurry up and decide, give or not, otherwise it's too late to save, but don't blame us!" โ
After saying this, it was not enough, and he added coldly: "If it weren't for the sake of all the Ming people, who would care if you lived or died!" Before tonight, if you don't give money, Liang won't be accompanied! โ
Obviously, he was destined for these people. After all, in this South Sea, only their gang of pirates is the strongest! If they don't save it, the Ming people in Luzon will have no other way to live!
Li Jiacheng and the others listened, glanced at each other, and they all looked bitter, and then, when Li Jiacheng was about to speak, he heard a voice that sounded with anger: "For the sake of the Ming people, they even asked for 500,000 taels of silver, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob!" How can I have so much money for you! โ
Liang Xiaozhen was waiting for these wealthy businessmen to soften, but he didn't expect to hear this suddenly, he was immediately angry, looked at the people who came and shouted: "Take advantage of the fire to rob? Joke, you see that Ning Yuan died holding the silver, and he didn't want to give it, right? Okay, Liang said goodbye! โ
After saying that, he turned around again and left!
When Li Jiacheng and the others heard this, they didn't have time to complain about Zhang Wu, who was talking, and hurriedly stopped Liang Xiaozhen again.
And Liang Xiaozhen has been stopped once, intending to rule them, and while trying to leave, he said hatefully: "Hmph, look at you without us, who else can save you, wait for death!" โ
There was a "pop", the sound was so loud that the table seemed to shake. Everyone was startled, including Liang Xiaozhen, they all turned their heads to look, but when they saw that Zhang Wu was doing something again, they slapped the table and said loudly: "Let him go, we still have reinforcements, and they will come soon." โ
Originally, he thought that on Annan's side, if the imperial army came over, it would take at least some time. If Liu Xiang's pirate could come to the rescue, it was estimated that it would be faster than the imperial army, so at the beginning, he was silent and let them talk.
But I didn't expect that these pirates simply drank human blood, and at this critical juncture, not only did they have to give the silver first, but also the lion opened his mouth, asking for 500,000 taels of silver at once. Even if he didn't know how much other people's wealth was, he could have a rough estimate, and it was estimated that all the Ming people in Luzon would have to make up money, and most of the hard-earned money would be given to this pirate.
If he didn't know that the imperial court had sent troops, and like Li Jiacheng and them, he felt that only Liu Xiang's forces could save them, then he probably wouldn't have a seizure. But the point is, he knows that the imperial court has sent troops!
His words surprised all the people present. But soon, they all came back to their senses, and someone immediately asked with surprise, "What reinforcements?" Where are the reinforcements? โ
When the others heard this, they all looked at Zhang Wu, all looking forward to his answer. Even Liang Xiaozhen stood up suspiciously and turned to look at him.
"Imperial Court!" Zhang Wu stood up straight, held his head high, and replied loudly.
