1137 How to help
At the same time, in many places in the Ming Dynasty, the issue of the Western Barbarians about to massacre the people of the Luzon and Ming dynasties slowly spreading. Especially in Fujian and Guangdong, the spreading faster.
The source is when people in the chat group saw Zhang Wu’s words.
"Did you hear that the Western barbarians in Luzon are about to massacre the Ming people there!"
"What's going on? The Western Yi is so brave that he dares to massacre our Ming people?"
"What's the point of not being afraid of? We Ming people make a lot of money overseas, so they are all jealous! As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Isn't Western barbarians just barbarians? Isn't it normal for profit to make people foolish? "
"Aren't they afraid of revenge from the court?"
"The court's revenge? You don't know. In the 35th year of Wanli, the Western Bibles were slaughtered once. Thirty thousand Ming people, regardless of age, were slaughtered by them! As a result, the imperial court sent no soldiers? No! So the Western Bibles' courage became rich!"
"It's different now? The emperor is the king of the wise, Jianlu, pirates, red barbarians, and Folangji people are all driven and wiped out. Now our Ming Dynasty is completely incomparable to the past!"
"What's the difference? Luzon is so far away, it's impossible for the imperial court to send troops, right? I think it's hard!"
“…”
Public opinion is roughly divided into two factions, two views. Most people think that the court will take care of this matter. After all, the current emperor is not the former Emperor Wanli!
The people in other places are more of the topic of conversation after dinner, but the people in Fujian and Guangdong became anxious after hearing the spread of this news. Because the Ming people who went to Southeast Asia were mostly from these two provinces. What is different from other places is that they feel that the court may not care about things far away in Luzon!
"Awen, have you heard that those beasts in Luzon want to do something again. Are your family from Luzon?
"Yes, I heard about it, what should I do? My wife is almost crying to death!"
"What can we do? Go to the government, only the government can manage this matter!"
"But will the government take care of it? That time, so many people died, but what was the result? You don't know that many of us on the street next to us could only worship silently, but there was no way to take revenge! Alas, this time they went to sea, they all persuaded them, saying that it was not safe outside and not to leave, but they really hit it!"
"Yes, Luzon is too far away, and the court thinks that merchants are inferior, so it would be strange if they can manage!"
“…”
Either care is confusing, or the harm suffered by the past is still fresh in memory. When the same thing happens again, many people lack confidence in the government and the court.
But the safety of relatives from afar cannot be ignored!
"Let's go, let's go to the government to petition, find the fellow villagers and let the fellow villagers come forward!"
"Yes, when you go to the Governor's Office, Lord Sun hates Western barbarians very much. Maybe he will send troops or not!"
"Didn't the government say that we Ming people will also take care of things overseas. I remember saying that we should go and say something!"
"That's after opening the sea, I want more people to go out to sea and pay more taxes, so I'll say that! But it's just right, let's ask for an explanation!"
“…”
The safety of the family members was in charge of their family members, and even if they were not in Luzon, they followed suit. Because they were afraid, the Western barbarians in other places would do this! No matter how the court cares, the lives of the family members were difficult to guarantee!
The crowd was in a raging situation and slowly gathered a large number of people, which surprised the local governments, for fear that they would cause trouble, so they drew people and tried to forcefully disband them and prevent them from gathering.
However, it is related to the safety of their families. They do not want the tragedy of the 35th year of Wanli again, and no one listens to the government.
"You are so powerful, why don't you go against the Western Yi? You know what kind of heroes are you coming to us ordinary people?"
"That's right, what the government said is still true? Are wise people from overseas not wise people? Does the court care about it?"
"Friends, let's go to the Governor's Office and petition Lord Sun!"
“…”
The local government could not suppress it at all, and the more they wanted to suppress the matter, the more dissatisfied the people became. Under the raging crowd, it seemed that they were becoming more and more intense.
At this moment, the local government became anxious. If something really happened, the cold-faced King of Hell would not speak well! For a moment, they thought to increase the intensity of the blast and report the situation to Shangguan.
However, what they did not expect was that the news came unexpectedly changed the momentum of this wanting to cause trouble immediately.
"Groupe, fellow villagers, good news, good news!"
"What good news? What good news can you get at this time?"
"Don't you know? The Governor's Office had an order early this morning. If you don't believe it, you can go to the navy's headquarters to check out. The remaining navy is ready to go to Southeast Asia!"
"This morning? So fast? Isn't it possible?"
"What's the impossible? My youngest son happened to take leave at home and was urgently recruited back, which means he was going to send troops to Nanyang, saying that he wanted to transport our Ming army to Nanyang to save our compatriots!"
“…”
At the beginning, many people didn't believe it. In fact, they can't blame them, because the court's reaction was too fast, and it was almost impossible for them to believe it. Especially when comparing things from the Wanli period, they couldn't believe what they heard was true!
However, Sun Chuanting sent troops to Southeast Asia according to the order of Emperor Chongzhen. This is a fact. Sun Chuanting was also decisive and had already done it. As time passed, the people they saw and heard naturally became more and more aware of.
"Don't you know? In fact, the Governor's Office had already issued an order last night. The Navy's garrison started to replenish tamsui last night to prepare for a long voyage. At the beginning, it was so lively that I thought something was going to happen, but I didn't expect to go to such a faraway place in Nanyang!"
"The court is so good? Why do you always feel like you're in a dream!"
"You are stupid. Today's saints are the emperor of the ages. Those who violate the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away? The Jianlu in the north is so powerful, but they are still destroyed by the emperor! In the past, there were also Western barbarians, but the red barbarians are considered powerful. Now? There are those pirates, what about now? Let me tell you that the Ming Dynasty is different from the Ming Dynasty in the past!"
"I don't believe it. Luzon is not the Ming Dynasty. How could the emperor really go so far away?"
“…”
After the dispute, someone suggested: "Go, go and see, see it is true!"
This proposal is the most practical, but by the time they arrived, there were no naval warships at the port, only a few small boats, alone, looking at the port very empty.
After understanding their purpose, the people around them and those left by the navy all told them that the navy had already set off for Annan and transported the Ming army there to Luzon to save the Ming people!
The rapid action of the court this time surprised everyone. They did not expect that the court would care so much about the safety of the people far away in Luzon. Thinking that their relatives might have hope of survival, they were all excited.
"In the future, we will no longer be afraid when we go to Southeast Asia. The court will make the decision for us. Let's see who dares to bully us!"
"Your Majesty! This is a blessing for us ordinary people!"
“…”
Of course, I could see that the court really sent troops to Southeast Asia at the first time, but it was just the people at the navy station. However, sending troops was a fact. When the news came out, it would naturally calm the worries in other places.
This matter was fed back to Emperor Chongzhen through a chat group, and he came to his senses. He immediately issued an order to make the navy that went south prosper, so that all the people of the Ming Dynasty knew that the court kept their word. Even though it was far away in Nanyang, the court would not let it go, and even if it was a battle, it would be spared.
This is also a good opportunity to use it to cultivate the people of Ming Dynasty’s sense of identity and pride for their own country. The feelings of the country and nation are to be influenced by the court with practical actions, rather than just shouting a few slogans with their mouths.
Of course, public opinion propaganda is also very important. The storyteller in the post station system began to talk about Luzon in Nanyang during the break when he finished his storytelling. The news agency that just started was to publish news instantly through chat groups and also publish many things related to Luzon in Nanyang. Not only what is happening in Luzon in front of him, but also what happened in the past, and even various things that Ming people went to Nanyang, etc.
Under the powerful public opinion offensive, basically the people from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty would tell some news about Nanyang when they met. The lives of nearly 30,000 Ming people touched the hearts of the people in the Ming Dynasty. As long as people's hearts are full of flesh, they would worry about whether the people far away in Luzon would eventually be safe!
If such a thing was changed to the past, it would be unimaginable! It was just a matter far away in Luzon. Not to mention that the news could not be spread, even if it could be spread to China, except for the families and relatives of Ming people from Nanyang, there would not be many people concerned.
However, the north of the Ming Dynasty has now been pacified. Although there are droughts and floods in various places, the 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, the storytelling system and newly-run newspapers, these measures will immediately take the domestic public opinion into the hands of the court and Emperor Chongzhen.
According to Emperor Chongzhen, this phenomenon is that the people of the Ming Dynasty should increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. They should not only focus on the state, prefecture, county, and province around them, or even be limited to the Ming Dynasty, but should open their eyes to the world. See how big the world is except the Ming Dynasty! What is the outside world!
With this foundation, then the next national policy will not set tomorrow, and there will be a good foundation.
This Luzon crisis is such an opportunity!
Of course, no matter what the incident itself is, one thing Emperor Chongzhen has always insisted on was to try his best to save the Ming people in Luzon. For this reason, before he fully confirmed the news, he issued an order to the officials in various places to prepare for the Luzon.
"Zhang Wu, what is the situation in Luzon? In the temporary group, every change will be reported!" This is what Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu naturally would not not follow, and now his status is different. He is highly valued by the Ming people in Luzon and is in charge of the Ming people's base camp. Therefore, he is also aware of the situation and reports on the situation in the group from time to time.
"There were thousands of people in the Bangbangya in Luzon, about four thousand people, about six hundred Japanese, and others, a total of nearly six thousand people, and the gathering place was almost the same!"
"We are about 7,000 young and strong women, more than 4,000 healthy women, and the others are the elderly and children. Now everyone is busy, thickening the courtyard wall, and the adjacent manors are connected."
"The situation is not very good. We have not enough swords and guns, we don't have a single hand in it, and we have too few iron tools."
"The Spaniards' firearms are so powerful. There are only a dozen archers, all of them hunters, not many arrowheads, so they can't fight at all!"
“…”
On this day, Emperor Chongzhen basically only focused on this matter. Hearing Zhang Wu feedback the situation in Luzon bit by bit, he couldn't help but be very anxious.
The Ming people on Luzon Island tried to use the hurried reconstruction of the manor as a support to resist invasion. This was simply unrealistic. The Spaniards were also artillery. The manor's wall collapsed with just a few cannons!
Also, in a hurry, the Luzon Ming people did not even have enough basic weapons, which was really fatal!
At this time, the Spanish muskets should still be the same as those on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all messile guns. However, the Luzon Ming people did not have long-range weapons, they only had to be beaten. If you shoot in three stages, the Spanish should not be too familiar with them!
...
Thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but worry that Annan was not close to Manila in Luzon, and Zheng Zhilong's navy was unable to drive quickly, and it took time. But how long could the Ming people in Luzon last with their current simple weapons and fortifications?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen wished that his golden finger was a space gate, even if he could only teleport items. In that case, he would directly teleport weapons from the country and arm the people of Luzon and Ming dynasties!
Oh, this system is still too trash! Emperor Chongzhen sighed secretly in his heart.
Luzon is really too far away, and it is not too much to say that it is amazing! The Ming Dynasty has such powerful resources, not to mention weapons, just firearms are more advanced than the Spanish, but they just cannot support the Luzon Ming people immediately!
Emperor Chongzhen sighed secretly, then swept across other temporary groups and the main groups. Seeing messages pouring out the screen, he felt a little angry: Humph, they were having fun chatting!
Thinking of this, he wanted to use the Great Forbidden Genius technique to see how they would chat!
Just as he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and an idea came out, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
With that, there are ways to help the people of Luzon and Ming dynasties immediately, which will make them persist for a longer time!
Thinking of this, he immediately took action.
Thanks to the mortals for their unfair roads and the snow angel’s future rewards!
