This great method can be summarized into five words, namely: the Ming Dynasty's threat theory.

For the indigenous people in the South China Sea, they can exaggerate the Luzon and tell them; for the Western barbarians in the South China Sea and the indigenous leaders, they can exaggerate the fact that the Ming Dynasty's overseas enfeoffment of the vassal kings can be exaggerated and tell them; in this way, all the forces in the South China Sea will definitely be united under the threat of the Ming Dynasty, a behemoth. By that time, they will not believe it. Can the Ming Dynasty still beat the entire Nanyang?

With this method, the pirate leaders of all sizes in Juyi Hall were all full of energy. Liu Xiang decided to promote the Ming Dynasty's threat theory from then on. After the meeting, they immediately went to various places, and as long as there was a larger force, they sent people to promote it.

At the end, Liu Xiang finally asked many big and small leaders, with a bit of vicious meaning: "Whoever has any questions, just say it quickly. If you leave this door, you have to follow my method. Anyone who dares to disobey you, I recognize you as a brother, but the knife in my hand will not have eyes!"

The reason why he explained this was actually impossible. The strength of the Ming Dynasty made him feel a strong sense of crisis. As brothers, they are most afraid of being sold by brothers.

After hearing what he said, everyone in Juyi Hall was silent. The pirates here were not exactly Liu Xiang's direct descendants, but pirates on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty fled to Southeast Asia and formed a pirate group headed by Liu Xiang.

After a while, when Liu Xiang thought no one was speaking, there was a pirate in the corner and asked with some confidence: "Boss, I want to ask, it's just a question, it's nothing else!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at it, including Liu Xiang, which made the man feel a little more uneasy.

However, Liu Xiang's face forced a smile to show his mind, and said to the man: "If you have a fart, let it go, everyone is waiting!"

"Yes, let it go if you have a lot!"

"I'm so squeaky, like a woman. Could it be that you want to find a rabbit, right?"

“…”

Hearing these foul words, the leader was not discomfortable, because they were usually like this, and no one said to each other. But he was affected a little bit, and suddenly he heard him angrily, "Shut up, the boss will not be able to hear it clearly!"

After calming down, the man heard the man say to Liu Xiang: "The boss, aren't those vassal kings newly established? I thought, when they are employed, do you think they will be able to recruit us?"

No one expected that he would say such words. For a moment, the Juyi Hall suddenly became very quiet, and many pirate leaders' eyes lit up. If this could be done, wouldn't it be whitewashed?

However, before they had a long daydream, they heard Liu Xiang speak coldly and speak loudly, ruthlessly extinguishing their hopes: "Are you stupid? Are you a big court or a big vassal king? We are wanted by the court. Do those vassal kings dare to ask us? Which vassal king dares to have the courage? They are all raised by pigs. Who would take those vassal kings seriously? Besides, haven't you seen that there are Ming troops in Luzon? They won't listen to the vassal kings. Besides, do you think Zheng Yiguan will let us go?"

What is the situation of the Xinfeng of the vassal king? Not to mention these pirates, even some domestic officials do not have a clear understanding of it.

But there is one thing that everyone has a consensus. This is the vassal state built by the vassal kings is definitely different from the vassal states mentioned before.

In the country where these vassal kings had just become vassals, the court had the final say. At least for a long time in the early period, the vassal kings would definitely not dare to go against the court.

Liu Xiang meant this. After saying that, he said sternly: "I tell you that the navy in the court in Nanyang is all led by Zheng Yiguan. We have suffered from his cunning and insidiousness. Therefore, if you say ugly things ahead, whoever dares to secretly contact the Ming army vassal kings and others in private, but if Zheng Yiguan is cheated and implicated, don't blame me for turning against you!"

After saying this, the Juyi Hall became very quiet. For a moment, no one spoke. They were thinking about Liu Xiang's words carefully, or thinking about Liu Xiang's threat.

Liu Xiang looked around everyone in the lobby with cold eyes, oppressing these people with his majesty as a boss, and preventing them from having any unreasonable thoughts.

The reason he did this was because he knew that it was actually a little possible for the leaders below to surrender to the government and the vassal kings. However, Liu Xiang, the second and third leaders, and the more famous ones, certainly did not have this possibility. After all, their reputation was there, and the emperor ordered them to capture them.

If Liu Xiang is asked to leave all this and secretly find a place to hide his identity, he cannot accept it. Moreover, he must have enemies in this position as a boss and is easily betrayed. Therefore, he can only continue to be his boss. This is the fundamental reason why he wants to stop his subordinates from surrendering to the court and the vassal kings.

After waiting for a while, Sure enough, the Second Head, the Third Head, and others all started to yell, echoing Liu Xiang's statement.

"The boss is right. Nguyen Phucyuan killed the Franji man and presented countless gold, silver and jewelry. Of course, he thought the court would let him go. What's the result? So don't be lucky!"

"Yes, no one will let him go if anyone dares to implicate everyone!"

“…”

Someone took the lead, and others followed suit. Otherwise, Liu Dazhan was watching and might have misunderstood something. So, the Juyi Hall became lively again.

Liu Xiang was quite satisfied with this. He waited for a while before clapping his hands.

"Smacking"

As soon as the sound rang, everyone looked over and stopped.

"Is there any other problem with brothers?" Liu Xiang asked Juyitang with his bull eyes open, "If there is no, that's it!"

After he said this, even if he wanted to say something in his heart, he would not dare to say anything.

After waiting for a while, before Liu Xiang saw anyone talking, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then we will do what we said before! We brothers are united and continue to eat delicious food and drink spicy food!"

Hearing this, these pirate leaders responded one after another, as if they were thriving again. Many people stood up and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang had something to say, "Small sex" again, and then he emphasized very solemnly: "Everyone, the Ming Dynasty threatens this matter, don't say anything you heard and heard. This is not a guess. Just think it is true, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, we know!"

"Yes, this must be true. Just talk about the news our people brought from China!"

“…”

After hearing this, the pirate leaders started to make excuses. Then they scattered birds and beasts and rushed to spread the "Ming Dynasty threat theory".

They didn't know yet, in fact, this time, they really guessed it right. The national strength of the Ming Dynasty was now strong enough. So what if the feudal kings' overseas feudal national policy was made public?

However, one thing was unexpected by these pirates, including Liu Xiang, who did not expect. As they announced the "Ming Dynasty threat theory", another remark was spreading. Especially among the Ming people in Nanyang, it became even more popular.

"You know, the court actually sent troops to rescue the Ming people in Luzon. Otherwise, the Ming people in Luzon would probably have been slaughtered by the Western barbarians and the natives again!"

"Yes, I heard that the court rushed there immediately as soon as it received the news, without any hesitation! Tsk tsk, the current court is really different from before!"

"No, have you noticed that after the Luzon incident came out, the indigenous monkeys were much more polite to us!"

"Yes, the news from Luzon said that it was a good person to the Luzon Ming people in the past. There was nothing wrong with the indigenous monkeys guaranteed by the Luzon Ming people."

“…”

Regarding the actual situation in Luzon, with the Ming Dynasty's threat theory, it became popular again. From the Luzon incident, the Ming people in Nanyang felt the changes in the court. Although some of the views derived from this were not publicly stated, many of them were discussed privately.

"It is better to live under the rule of the imperial court than to make a living under the rule of the indigenous people (Western barbarians, pirates). At least there are laws, right?"

"Yes, we were bullied in Nanyang and we have never had any reason!"

“…”

When the Ming people in Nanyang heard the good news in the Ming Dynasty again and again in the Ming Dynasty, many people were moved. When they came out to make a living, they were so poor that they couldn't make it, or were deceived by "the mountains of gold and silver overseas". After they came out, they realized that the country was good, and many people were thinking about their hometown. Anyway, the court would not let those pirates go, but they were like the Ming people in Luzon, and there would be no trouble.

This kind of remark is also a temptation for the Ming people in Nanyang, and therefore it spread very quickly. Almost everything there are Ming people is being discussed quietly.

Liu Xiang naturally would not know nothing, and he couldn't help but get furious for this. He immediately ordered to change his statement, saying that the court would be a traitor to all overseas Ming people and would not let it go.

However, such lies cannot explain why the court saved the Ming people of Luzon and helped the Ming people of Luzon to avenge them. Moreover, the Ming people in Luzon lived well. If even the Ming people of Luzon were to be traitors, then what kind of Yi Wang from the court was granted to Luzon, would he be a bare-legged vassal king?

Therefore, for ordinary Ming people in Southeast Asia, Liu Xiang’s theory of Ming Dynasty is not a threat, but a kind of hope. Of course, Liu Xiang would never have imagined that the reason for this situation was that his third leader would have made great contributions.

The private discussion among the Ming people in Nanyang was not only in Temasek, but in places where there were Ming people. Batavia was no exception.

Many of them even secretly went to Kabidan to confirm this.

When Su Minggang heard this, he realized the seriousness of the matter. The Dutch certainly would not and did not want to hear such remarks spread among the Ming people. Therefore, he warned those Ming people who went to him and asked them to stop discussing such matters.

There are people with wise people who have an objection: "Old Su, you brought us to Batavia, saying that we can make more money here, and the Westerners are good to us. We always thought that your heart is on our side. But what do you mean now? Did the Dutch grant you a Kapitan and do you really think that you are theirs?"

Kapitan was the leader of the Ming people appointed by the Dutch. He only had the power to manage the Ming people, but had no ability to discuss politics. To put it bluntly, it was just a dog used by the Dutch to manage the Ming people.

After hearing such words, Su Minggang had to explain: "The Dutch people cannot like to hear such words. If you insist on doing this, I am worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble! I am doing this for your own good! I have dealt with the Dutch people more and know them better than you."

After hearing such an explanation, those Ming people recognized a little, and they were not stupid. However, they still had their own demands and said to Su Minggang: "Since this year, the Dutch have added more work we have to do every day, but they don't give more money. Many of our compatriots are exhausted. You are our leader. Otherwise, you can talk to the Dutch. If this continues, we will be exhausted. We must give us a chance to breathe, right?"

Su Minggang had actually felt this request. He thought about it and finally agreed to talk about it for the Ming people.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why the Dutch increased their workload this year and needed to repair Batavia quickly was because they vaguely felt the threat from the Ming Dynasty. Now, Liu Xiang has sent someone to inform the latest situation of the Ming Dynasty, which makes the Dutch in Batavia feel a sense of crisis. They even thought that they would increase the workload of the Ming people, and that would agree to the requirement of reducing the workload.

Therefore, Su Minggang not only did not get the consent of the Dutch, but was scolded. He was a little disappointed about this. He did not expect that after doing so many things for the Dutch, he did not even give any reasonable requests. And those Ming people were even more disappointed. After this emotion spread among the Ming people, more and more people did not want to do it here. They found Su Minggang and put forward new requirements: they wanted to go back to their hometown!

Su Minggang could understand this, and even himself, as he was old, wanted to go back to his hometown. After all, he was not a pirate, and the court would not pursue him. Now that life in China is better, who doesn’t want to return to his roots? For this reason, after thinking for a long time, he went to the Governor General of Batavia again.

To be honest, he was unsure whether the Dutch would agree this time. Although the Dutch governor said "my friend" when he saw him, he knew that he could only listen to this. If he took it seriously, he would be really stupid.

In the original history, Su Minggang really returned to his hometown of Fujian. However, the result disappointed him.
