In July of the third year of Yongli, the fertile land of the Philippines cultivated heavy fruits.

It should be a day of joy, but the Chinese here are still shrouded in the shadow of the past, worrying and fearing all day long, for fear that the disaster of the past will come again.

Lin Zhaojun looked back at this land of birth and upbringing, recalled the news he heard in the port bar before, and stepped on a sea ship without looking back, heading for Fujian.

After more than two months at sea, the ship finally arrived in Fuzhou.

Listening to the shouting of Chinese mixed with various local dialects, looking at the merchant ships shuttling back and forth in the port, and the huge warships docked in the port, Lin Zhaojun burst into tears.

The blood debt of his whole family, the revenge of 50,000 people in Luzon finally has a chance to be avenged.

Forcibly enduring the pain in his heart and drying his tears, Lin Zhaojun took out a white cloth from the package, hung it on the wooden pole he was carrying, and inserted it into the loess.

Under the blowing of the wind, the white cloth fluttered in the wind.

I saw a big character written in blood on the white cloth - Lay!

Lin Zhaojun himself put a bloodstained sackcloth on his body, plopped, and knelt on the ground.

When people came and went to the port, they stopped and watched.

A few passers-by couldn't help but ask thousands of questions when they saw it, but Lin Zhaojun didn't say a word, so he knelt like this.

His actions attracted more and more people to come and watch, disrupting the order of the port.

The matter of the port soon spread to the Fuzhou Mansion, and Zheng Chenggong heard the report of his subordinates, frowned, and sent someone to invite Lin Zhaojun over.

Lin Zhaojun brought it in, and when he saw Zheng Chenggong sitting on the main seat.

Lin Zhaojun immediately knelt on the ground, slammed on the ground, and his forehead was red and swollen with a bang.

Zheng Chenggong saw Zou frowning and said, "What grievances do you have?" ”

Lin Zhaojun raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Please ask the country surname to avenge the hatred of the 50,000 people in Luzon!" “

Zheng Chenggong listened. I immediately remembered the experiences of overseas Chinese in history, and said sharply: "Tell me the details? “

Lin Zhaojun said with red eyes: "In 1603, the Spanish colonists instigated the local aborigines to carry out a large-scale massacre of the Chinese. The second massacre in 1639 led to the basic extinction of the overseas Chinese in Luzon, and the total number of overseas Chinese killed in the Philippines reached 22,000 to 24,000. Several rivers had water contaminated by corpses that had been inedible for six months, many leagues around Manila. The fish in the river eat human flesh and gain weight, so people can't even eat fish ......."

Zheng Chenggong listened, couldn't help but slap his hand heavily on the desk, and shouted: "Traitor, how dare An treat me Chinese, if you don't recover such a blood debt, how can you eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Someone came, and ordered Admiral Lin to gather the ships and kill all the ghosts with the general. Avenge the tragic death of the Chinese people! “

Yao Qisheng, who was on the side, heard it, and hurriedly said, "General, slow down!" Luzon is thousands of miles away from here, and this is the time to compete with the Tartars, so it is really not suitable to start another battlefield with the ghosts. “

Zheng Chenggong hesitated when he heard it.

When Lin Zhaojun heard Yao Qisheng dissuade Zheng Chenggong, he glanced at him with hatred, and then kept his forehead and knocked the Qinghua stone slabs into each other. "Please avenge us. Even if you are a cow or a horse in the next life, you will repay the national master. Please take the surname of the country for us..."

Zheng Chenggong was a little unbearable when he saw him like this. said, "Someone, help him up." ”

Several guards heard that they were busy and wanted to help him up, but Lin Zhaojun struggled to prevent them from pulling him up.

Zheng Chenggong saw it and drank: "Since I promised to help the people of Luzon avenge their hatred, I will naturally fulfill my promise." A man has gold under his knees, and he can kneel down easily. Get up quickly, or I'll blame you for getting you out!" ”

Lin Zhaojun was a little angry when he heard Zheng Chenggong. Slowly stood up.

Zheng Chenggong sighed and said, "Looking at your appearance, I also know that you haven't rested well for many days. Let's go down and get some rest! “

When Lin Zhaojun just opened his mouth to speak, Zheng Chenggong interrupted him and said, "No matter what. I'm bound to give you an answer today. Go down first! “

Lin Zhaojun reluctantly followed a guard to the side compartment to rest.

Seeing Lin Zhaojun go down, Yao Qisheng hurriedly said: "General, you really want to send troops to Luzon to advocate justice for those overseas Chinese!" “

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said: "In the end, it is the Chinese people, it is our brothers and sisters, they are bullying people outside, how can we be brothers!" “

Yao Qisheng said: "General, I'm not against sending troops, it's just that now is not the time. After pacifying the Tartars and recovering the rivers and mountains, it is not too late to send troops. Now it's really not suitable for two-front combat! "Xizhi, when the time comes, when the Tartars are driven out and the rivers and mountains are recovered, you will persuade me to rest and recuperate, and not to use swords and soldiers easily."

"This..."Yao Qisheng heard this, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Because he really drove away the Tartars and recovered the rivers and mountains, he would really persuade the general to recuperate.

He would think so, let alone the civil servants.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but sigh when he saw it and said: "There are more than 100,000 or 200,000 overseas Chinese now, and there may even be millions or tens of millions in the future. Huaxia is single-minded, not just talking, but letting them see. If overseas Chinese have a heart for China, the place where the Chinese live belongs to China. ”

Yao Qisheng heard the silence and said: "General, the subordinate must remind you that fighting on two fronts will be a great test for our army, and once one side loses, the consequences will be immeasurable!" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded when he heard it and said: "I know, no matter what, I'm willing to try, it's okay if we work hard, let's lay a foundation for future generations and let them live a happier life!" ”

Yao Qisheng also sighed and said, "General, other civil officials are not so easy to talk about. Be prepared! ”

Zheng Chenggong thought in his heart, it's a good gift now, and when he really recovers the rivers and mountains, he will sit in that position. I'm afraid that the resistance to sending troops will be greater than it is now.

Thinking of the scene where the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty opposed his use of force and sent troops, Zheng Chenggong was frightened.

Perhaps a new system should be established to limit the rights of these civil officials, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that the abuses of the Ming officialdom will not happen again.

Zheng Chenggong knew that if he sent troops to attack Spain now, it would inevitably arouse the opposition of many civilian officials, and in order to reduce the pressure, Zheng Chenggong privately communicated with several major generals.

Hearing that there was a battle, these resting generals, who had long been anxious, hurriedly expressed their full support for the general's decision.

Seeing that these generals all agreed, Zheng Chenggong convened a meeting.

At the meeting, those civil officials were all opposed.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Chenggong looked at those military attachés.

The military attachés who had been signaled immediately rose up and retorted.

For a time, Fuzhou was fried in a piece.

When the quarrel was almost over, Yao Qisheng, who had been stared at by Zheng Chenggong for a long time, finally couldn't stand up and stood up to approve the dispatch of troops.

One of the leading figures among the civil servants agreed, and those who did not take a firm stance also wavered.

More and more civilian officials either agreed or remained silent, and the matter of sending troops to Luzon to avenge the tragic death of the Chinese people was thus decided. (To be continued.) )
