There are many kinds of so-called unconventional means, spending money to buy people can only be regarded as conventional means, in line with the principle of buying and selling, and non-conventional means do not conform to this principle, such as robbing people's belongings, not returning them if they do not come back, directly sending people to guard the entrances and exits of certain villages, that is, not letting the people inside come out, or robbing the elderly and children at home, forcing young people not to leave.

If you do such a thing in small quantities, it is estimated that few people can find out, and everyone does not care very much about it, so they will not go around complaining, but these big families are too panicked and their hearts are too dark, so that they detained seven or eight hundred families in one go, and more than a dozen villages suffered because of this, which caused the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of people.

In the face of everyone's dissatisfaction, they still did not admit it, and they slashed and fired indiscriminately with knives, guns and firearms, injuring several people, and were forced to prevent them from breaking the siege, and the weak workers had no way at all.

In this context, the victim's relatives and friends are forced to use unconventional means to solve the problem.

You've got guns, don't you?

They ran directly to Chen Longzheng and knelt down to cry.

"What? Big merchants won't let your friends leave? And send people to guard the entrance and exit of the village? Also robbing their relatives and children? ”

Chen Longzheng is quite different, he thinks that so many people come to line up to meet the Chinese officials, everyone must be very eager to go home, how can there be a big family that detains the people and does not let them go home? Aren't these big families also the people of the Ming Dynasty? How could such a thing be done?

The idealist Chen Longzheng is quite incomprehensible, but the realist Blackwater captain Zhang Wu understands the situation very well, he has also been lurking in the Philippines for more than three years, and has rich experience and experience, so he immediately explained to Chen Longzheng the profound reasons why the big family does not let go.

How did the Spaniards send Chinese laborers?

They did not come directly, there are many Chinese, they will be very troublesome if they govern directly, there is also a language communication barrier, they cannot communicate with each other, one is not good, there will be chaos, no one wants to see such a thing happen, so the Spaniards found a way to recruit maritime merchants to settle here.

Give them some inconsequential positions and positions, let them manage these Chinese, and then the Spaniards send Chinese laborers to work through them, and pay the big workers a cut, and the rest are the laborers, of course, these big families will be exploited layer by layer under various names, and finally the labor will only be half of the money allocated from the Spaniards.

This kind of thing is not strange in Daming, Chen Longzheng is not strange, but Zhang Wu continued to analyze, and Chen Longzheng was angry.

There is a deep contradiction between the big households and the laborers, these big households rely on the support of the Spaniards here, run rampant, do more things than the Spaniards, and many households have worries, here they can do whatever they want, but in Myanmar, as soon as these workers complain, Xiao Ruxun, who has never liked merchants and loves civilians, can give them good fruits to eat?

But if they don't go, but the workers are gone, what is the point of their existence? The Spaniards relied on them to better control the Chinese laborers, but the Chinese laborers did not exist, so did they still have a need to rely on? Is there anyone else who needs them but their doglegs?

Without.

There was nowhere to go, so I had to stay, but the prospects were not good, so I had to intercept the population and not let me go, and do such an angry thing.

Chen Longzheng was furious!

In broad daylight, it is clear that there are Chinese people who do such despicable, shameless, unkind and unjust things overseas, it is simply unheard of! How can such a person be worthy of standing between heaven and earth in the name of the descendants of China?!

The anger of idealists and romantics is very terrible, because they often act recklessly and according to their own preferences, Zhang Wu is very rational and did not dissuade Chen Longzheng, and even he did not want to dissuade Chen Longzheng, first, he is also very unhappy with those big dogs who fight with people, and second, Xiao Ruxun faintly revealed the idea of hoping that Chen Long is making trouble in the Philippines.

Xiao Ruxun had already analyzed the thoughts of these big dogs through his report, and expected these things to happen, and he hoped that Chen Longzheng could do something that they couldn't do officially.

As Xiao Ruxun expected, Chen Longzheng's anger was very hot and ferocious, and with a wave of his hand, three hundred elite bird gunners who were fully loaded immediately responded to the order, and went to those villages with guns and weapons to rescue people.

As soon as Matteo Ricci saw that something was wrong, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying that if he was allowed to negotiate, he would definitely be able to persuade those big families to let it go, but Chen Longzheng pushed him away.

"He is so mad that there is no one in his eyes! Is there still a royal law in this world? I don't care where they are now, but as long as they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, this official can punish them! Mr. Li, you'd better not meddle in Daming's internal affairs! Otherwise it won't do you any good! ”

Matteo Ricci and the accompanying Spanish officials saw that the matter was not good, and immediately sent people to Manila to report, and then Matteo Ricci brought a few people to follow Chen Longzheng's footsteps, in order to ensure that the situation would not get out of control and there would be no bloodshed.

At this moment, Ma Wendong, the head of the Big Household Alliance, did not know that a jealous and hateful Chinese official was angrily asking for guilt, and he was gathering his seven allies to discuss the future.

"Ma Gong, we all listened to you, took out all the family resources, and left more than 2,000 people, all of whom are now locked up in the East Village, but these people are very angry, our seven families together are only five or six hundred armed troops, and it is already very difficult to suppress them, in case the person surnamed Xiao does not spare to save people, and if he really wants to fight, then what can we do?"

An old man with white hair and a goatee looked at Ma Wendong who was sitting on the throne with a long cigarette stick and eating cigarettes, Ma Wendong smoked for a while, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the old man has already discussed with those Francois people, they will send people to help us, and they don't want all those mud legs to leave." ”

The worry on the face of the other, a slightly younger middle-aged man, has not diminished.

"That's what I said, but these Franco-Rang people's mouths are the most slippery, and they can't be trusted at all, if they say anything, we will believe it, and where we are today? They also said before that they would never allow Xiao Ruxun to take everyone away, but now? The warships didn't come, and these Francis were instigated! ”
