491, Bloodshed in a Foreign Land Attracts Resentful Souls (3)

Because he knew Yu Guozhen's intentions, Yu Guozhen was first and foremost a nationalist, so Ye Wuya and others claimed to be of Chinese descent overseas, not Mingren. However, if others call them Mingren, they will not object.

Outside, they have always been proud of their Chinese descent, whether it is facing the black and thin boy of the Southeast Islands, or facing the blond and blue-eyed red-haired fan, the people under the entire Xinxiang system have a kind of self-confidence. Therefore, in Xinhang and Hoi An, it is absolutely impossible for the local aborigines to bully the Chinese people, and of course, many laws in Xinxiang also strictly prohibit bullying the rest of the ethnic groups for no reason. Under the dynamic system of Xinxiang, the rest of the clans have always been regarded as the reserve of the Huaxia clan.

For example, in Hoi An, there will be an indoctrination examination every year, can be proficient in Chinese, master more than 1,500 commonly used men, work in Hoi An for three years, you can take the indoctrination exam, pass the exam, you can get a "red card", this is the identity certificate of the naturalized person, when the red card has been held for five years, the person can be regarded as a member of the Chinese ethnic group, fully included in the Xinxiang system, whether in salary, education, medical care, can enjoy the same treatment of the Chinese ethnic group.

This treatment is extraordinary, as far as admission is concerned, non-Chinese ethnic groups can only study in primary school, that is, study for five years, and have to bear twice the cost of education.

Anyone who dares to go to Hoi An and Xinhang to bully Chinese people, regardless of whether the means they use are selling cut cakes or anything else, will have one consequence.

In the many mines controlled by Xinxiang, the demand for the lowest level of hard labor will never be saturated. Three to five years out of the mine, if you are not obedient. If you don't learn to respect the Chinese ethnic group, then Xinxiang has other means.

It was this kind of self-confidence that made Ye Wuya so angry after learning what happened in Luzon, and even came to see Yu Guozhen in person.

The Spaniards, known as the Great Francs, swept up the massacre in Luzon in just one month. More than 20,000 Chinese were slaughtered, and the Chinese and Miao descendants of Luzon were almost empty!

Lin Jianxue and Ding Fugui. It was the lucky escapees, and although the two of them escaped, not only did the family business run in Luzon disappear. In addition, he lost the lives of his family.

The family business can be earned again, with the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese people, it is not difficult to earn a family business again, but the dead family, their blood, and their grievances cannot be recovered!

Lin and Ding both knew that the Spanish massacre of China that happened in Luzon more than 30 years ago, and after killing 25,000 Chinese, the Spaniards, who knew their mistakes, went to the Ming court to explain. But in the face of the blood of its own people, the Ming court revealed the matter with a few fluttering words.

What a Ming!

Therefore, the two of them originally thought that they could only bury their hatred after Tu Hua this time, but they didn't expect to meet someone sent by Xinhang and stay in Xinhang for two days. After seeing the situation of the Chinese people there, there was a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the two of them: maybe Nanhaibo would not ignore them!

"Are you saying that there were more than 24,000 Chinese who were slaughtered for the Spaniards?" Yu Guozhen pursed his lips and asked.

"Yes!"

"You mean that the Spanish slaughter lasted for a month. During this period, most of the Chinese who showed up could not escape the poison? ”

"Yes!"

"You mean that you have cultivated land in Luzon, and you have taught the local foolish natives how to cultivate and cook, while the lazy natives are willing to be accomplices of the Spaniards simply because of jealousy and greed?"

"Yes!"

"Good...... Come with me...... Hoi An, Wu Ya, after arriving in Hoi An, let Hu Jingshui send someone to inform Xinxiang and summon the following people to wait until Hoi An. Zhang Zheng, Luo Jiuhe, Mao Yuanyi......"

Yu Guozhen pointed out a series of names of generals, both the army and the navy, and after this series of names, Ye Wuya's eyes suddenly lit up.

If only the navy is pointed, then it is a punishment, and if the army is pointed, its significance is extraordinary.

On December 10, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, all the people ordered by Yu Guozhen gathered at the Hoi An Governor's Office. Hu Jingshui, the original owner of the office, had a gloomy face and quietly looked at Yu Guozhen, who was sitting on the main seat.

"First of all, Governor Hu, you should know what happened in Luzon, why didn't you report it to me earlier?" Yu Guozhen also did not give Hu Jingshui a good face, but opened his mouth to ask.

Unlike Xinhang, which existed as an agricultural base, Hoi An existed as an industrial and commercial base, and Hu Jingshui was appointed as the governor here, which shows Yu Guozhen's trust and importance to him - this is the first governor in the entire Xinxiang system! There are no merchants from the Southeast Islands in Xinhang, but Hoi An is not, and there are no less than 100 merchant ships from the Southeast Islands that come here every year, so Hu Jingshui should have gotten the relevant news a long time ago.

But he didn't report it in time!

Hu Jingshui was silent for a moment, he felt the sharp gaze around him, which put him under tremendous pressure, sweat seeped out of his forehead, he wiped it, and then said: "I heard that there seems to be a riot in Luzon in July, and I learned that there was a conflict between the Spaniards and the Ming in August, but until this time, the news I got was only a conflict, not a massacre. It is also said that the cause of the riots was the desire of the local Ming people to collude with the pirates...... Because not many Spaniards came to Hoi An, and the tone was very tight, but the Dutch and French merchant ships brought a little news. I am willing to take all responsibility for this, and in order to facilitate the investigation, I will first resign from the post of Governor of Hoi An to Nam Hai Bo......"

At this, his voice choked.

How can he not be choked, since Yu Guozhen captured Hoi An in the eighth year of Chongzhen, he has contributed here, and every road and every mine in Hoi An has been built with his eyes. Now Hoi An's grain output and light industrial output account for the majority of the Xinxiang system, which is soaked in his hard work!

Yu Guozhen glanced at him deeply: "I accept your resignation, the post of Governor of Hoi An, I will personally sign it for the time being!" ”

After these words were spoken, everyone's hearts were filled with joy.

Yu Guozhen will go to Hoi An, Xinhang and other places every year to inspect, but in various places, he usually stays for ten days and a half and then returns to Xinxiang. Therefore. The capital of the Xinxiang system has always been Xinxiang rather than Yu Guozhen's titular fiefdom of Hoi An. This time, Yu Guozhen proposed that he personally comprehend An, which means that the resources of the Xinxiang system will be tilted to the south.

"Still, there's one thing I have to say." Feeling this, Hu Jingshui broke out in cold sweat even more on his forehead, and he knew that he had to express his opinion before Yu Guozhen officially announced this decision, otherwise when Yu Guozhen spoke, it would be a sure thing. It cannot be changed.

"You say." Yu Guozhen said.

"The Ming people in Luzon are the Ming people, not the people under my Xinxiang system. They have never paid taxes for the Xinxiang system, nor have they done anything for the development of Xinxiang. Hu Jingshui wiped his sweat: "I have also sent people to solicit them, hoping that they can do things for us." But they were all politely refused, and even took my messenger and gave it to the Spaniards. Sebastian, the Spanish Governor of Manila......"

At this time, the understanding of the whole world under the Xinxiang system was much more advanced than that of the Ming Dynasty, so the division of the countries of Europa was also clearer, and the names of each country were called according to Yu Guozhen's habit. Hu Jingshui thought for a while, thought of the name of the Spanish governor, and then continued: "Coqueira has sent an envoy to negotiate with me on this matter, and I have also reported to Nanhaibo. ”

Yu Guozhen nodded, indicating that he had an impression of this matter. Hu Jingshui said again: "Therefore, I don't think that the Ming people over there are my Huaxia, they enter Yidi and Yidi...... Now we will be in trade. Although the Spaniards did not come to the ship much, they were the most active in paying silver, and special products such as rubber and cinchona needed to be transported by the Spaniards, and Nanhai Bo also cooperated with the Spaniard Garcia. Therefore, I privately thought that this was not the right time to go to war! ”

Yu Guozhen pursed his lips, Hu Jingshui was born as a businessman, so whether he fought or not, he first considered interests. This is normal. It seems that he did not report the Manila incident as an important matter, and it was not entirely selfish.

"I'm against it!"

Seeing Hu Jingshui sit down, one person stood up.

It was Ye Wuya, his face was full of anger, and his eyes were almost spewing fire. Seeing that Yu Guozhen nodded and asked him to speak, he pointed in the direction of the guide: "The Ming people who were slaughtered in Luzon are also descendants of China, and the petty officials have said that my Chinese Miao descendants stand out among thousands of races, and they have not stopped for more than four or five thousand years. Therefore, my Chinese Miao descendants should educate the right path for heaven and earth, control all races, and promote virtue in the world. The people of China, originally more expensive than Yidi, but now the Spaniards dare to slaughter our people, today he can slaughter the people of Luzon, he will dare to attack Xinxiang one day, if not punished, how to deter the group! ”

"It costs money to fight, and it is necessary to cut off the way of wealth, and this is not the work of a wise man. Hu Jingshui said: "Now we still need to keep quiet and endure it a little longer......"

"Why put up with it any longer? Now that we have ships and artillery, strong soldiers and horses, Spain is thousands of miles away from the ocean, can it still beat us? Ye Wuya said: "Forbearance? How long do you have to endure it, so long as you have to endure it until even those natives dare to take advantage of our Huaxia? ”

Yu Guozhen stood up suddenly.

He originally wanted to wait for everyone to finish arguing before making a conclusion, but when he heard Ye Wuya's words, a certain fire ignited in his heart.

Over the years, he has matured a lot, and he is no longer as easy to use extreme measures as he was when he was fifteen or sixteen. But Ye Wuya's words made him wonder if he had lost some kind of courage while he was mature.

Do you really have to endure it when even those stupid, greedy, ignorant and shameless natives are bullied and shouted on the islands of China?

Even if you don't do such a thing as genocide, you have to help these natives evolve faster, so that they can understand what a small country is a big deal!

"I don't think I need to fight anymore, isn't it just some trade income?" Yu Guozhen looked at Hu Jingshui: "Now there are millions of people in Xinxiang, and our internal consumption alone is enough to support a big market, not to mention that we are still backed by Daming, as long as we find a way, we can always make up for this loss in the rest of the place." As for rubber, apart from our Xinxiang, who else in the world will buy rubber at a high price, and who else can provide such a large number of cheap industrial products? The Spaniards don't want to trade directly with us, so we let the Portuguese do it! ”

"You can put forward your own opinions, but I have made up my mind that I must fight, mobilize, and prepare for the battle by February of the following year!" Yu Guozhen finally said.
