Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 654 Luzon
Compared with the Australian aborigines, the aborigines in Southeast Asia are obviously much more vicious.

Here, the people of Qiongzhou get along very well with the aborigines of Australia, while the Chinese in Luzon are being slaughtered and plundered.

At the end of the sixteenth century, Xibaya, who was thousands of miles away, came to Southeast Asia and regarded Luzon (Philippines) as his colony.At this moment, the Daming sea ban is loosened, and the country's power is gradually weakening. Many Chinese in the coastal areas gradually migrated to Luzon for their livelihood.

At first, the Spaniards and the Chinese got along very harmoniously. Compared with the local natives, the Chinese were smart and hardworking, and they also knew a lot of skills. They did not need to be supervised, and they were very conscious. Therefore, the Spaniards easily accepted these outsiders. Bring them under your rule and give them protection.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.Soon, the Spaniards discovered that the Chinese were too capable, accumulated wealth much faster than them, and often ran out of people in the same industry.So jealousy and fear arose, but because they were afraid of the intervention of the Ming court, they instigated the local aborigines to do something against the Chinese.

The first massacre of China occurred in 1603, and more than 5000 million compatriots died in foreign lands for no apparent reason.After the incident, the economic blow to the entire Luzon was fatal. According to Ming history records, people had money but could not buy vegetables, food, shoes and other daily necessities.Not even tailors, shoemakers, barbers.

The Spaniards did not expect that the massacre would lead to economic collapse, and they were also worried about the ambitions of the Ming Dynasty.What makes people feel angry is that the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty believed that the immigrant Chinese were all pariahs, and death was not a pity, so after accepting the hypocritical and forged rhetoric of Spain, the matter was left alone.

This move undoubtedly strengthened the courage of the Spaniards!
Since then, the Chinese in Luzon and even in Southeast Asia have been like leeks in the field. When they grow a little fat, they are cut off. There have been three massacres recorded in history alone!

And in this time and space, Zuo Fu's sudden birth interrupted the hegemony of Xiba Ya in the maritime trade in Southeast Asia, and joined forces with the Zheng family to wipe out all the Spanish pirates on the entire sea trade route.

And the Dutch, who were dissatisfied with Spain, also took the opportunity to make troubles. All this caused the Spaniards to become more and more dissatisfied with Daming, but they did not dare to blame Daming, so they once again set their sights on the Chinese in Luzon group.

In 1655 AD, the 11th year of Longwu, winter.

Seeing that the end of the new year is approaching, the Chinese residents in Luzon have also ended their busy year. They have used the money they have saved for the year to buy some new year goods and have a good New Year.

This day is the day to give away to the Kitchen God, and every household shows off their skills and prepares good wine and dishes to bribe the Kitchen God.Maltose has also been boiled, and when it is sent to the Kitchen God at dusk, this syrup should be spread on the Kitchen God's mouth, so that he can say good things after eating the sugar, and bless everyone with abundant storage and delicious food in the coming year.

Women are not allowed to enter the kitchen room to send the Kitchen God, and the Kitchen God can only be sent by men.Just as the men from every household entered the kitchen, everyone was immersed in the joy and didn't notice that someone set up a simple siege engine and sprayed kerosene over.

The women who heard the movement ran out to look, and then one after another rockets flew towards their terrified eyes. In an instant, everything they saw was flames, and screams and painful wailing were all around their ears!
The massacre came suddenly, and the Chinese were completely unprepared. The fire forced people out of their homes. When they were running around, countless local aboriginals jumped out. Human tragedy.

Women were abused, even the elderly and children were spared, and the wealth accumulated by the Chinese was plundered. When the crying stopped, the once prosperous homeland was turned into ashes and a mess.The river near his home was clogged with dead bodies, and within a few days it became foul-smelling.

The wailing of the survivors came from time to time, but it didn't take long for the sound to disappear.No one knows where the survivors went, and the dark red land proves that they once existed.However, they disappeared, not in the brutal natural struggle, but were wiped out artificially.

The aborigines envy the Chinese and hate the Chinese. When they raise the butcher knife, they are extremely cruel and insulting. The massacre of the Chinese does not have any psychological burden for them.

The massacre of Luzon Chinese soon spread to Qiongzhou, and the whole Qiongzhou was shocked!

At that time, the Qiongzhou officials and people who had been educated for many years already had a clear concept of homeland and nationality. Although the people who went to sea may not be Ming people, such a massacre against a specific race will make people feel empathy.

Why not slaughter other races?Why is it Chinese?
The feeling of being bullied and humiliated welled up in his heart, and the prefect of Qiongzhou did not dare to neglect this matter, so he immediately reported it to the court and wrote a letter to Zuo Fu.

The imperial court may not take care of this matter, because such things have not happened before.So he can only hope that Zuo Fu will give a little response, at least let them bring back the surviving Chinese.

Five days later, the courier from the post station arrived in Nanjing, and Zuo Fu received a letter from the prefect of Qiongzhou on the same day.

"It's a Spaniard again!"

Zuo Fu slapped the letter heavily on the table, and the assistant officials beside him were a little curious.What happened to Qiongzhou?I heard that there was a post station post soldier who sent the Qiongzhou magistrate a memorial, and even made an urgent six hundred miles.

It should not be a big deal if it is not urgent for [-] miles, but it is also urgent for [-] miles, which makes people confused.

Moreover, Zuo Fu also immediately received a letter from Qiongzhou. After reading the letter, it looked like this. What happened to Qiongzhou?
"Fu Zun, but there are changes in Qiongzhou?"

Zhao Ji said cautiously: "The Spaniards? Could it be that they attacked Qiongzhou?"

Zuo Fu sent a letter to Zhao Ji, "They slaughtered my Ming people who settled abroad in Luzon."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some people couldn't help but said: "Since you go abroad to settle down, you are a pariah, why should the lord be angry?"

Zuo Fu forgot to take a look at the official, and said: "Isn't it worth being angry that they just slaughtered my Ming people? This clearly doesn't take me seriously!!"

Zuo Fu patted the table heavily, "If you can't even protect your own people, why are you talking about ZTE?! I want to write a letter to His Majesty, allowing me to send troops from the Qiongzhou Navy to wipe out the Spaniards entrenched in Luzon in one fell swoop!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer this question.Because according to past practice, the imperial court would not take care of this matter.It would be good if those untouchables who fled privately were not caught and killed all over the house, where would they go to uphold justice?

"Fu Zun..."

Zhao Ji swallowed his saliva and said: "This matter... this matter... I am afraid that I will not take care of it."

"how do I say this?"

"Ugh!"

An official sighed and said: "I'm afraid I don't know something, my lord. This is not the first time that such a thing has happened. Our masters who wrote history have collected information, but they just don't care about it, so you suggest sending troops. Your Majesty thinks that the court ministers will definitely not agree."

"good."

Zhao Jidao: "Besides, there is a lot of construction going on now, and finances are tight. Then Luzon is a land of aliens, and the people who were killed were the people of aliens. Your Majesty, to be honest, don't be angry when you hear this."

He shook his head, "Don't say it's them, even ordinary people, even the scholars of Shilin will not understand you. If you haven't taken care of your own affairs, how can you take care of the affairs of other families? Those people are not Daming people if they leave my Ming Dynasty It's..."

"You all think so?"

Zuo Fu was shocked, and stared wide-eyed: "You think so too? Yes, but have you ever thought that it is because of our incompetent people that we avoid other places. Then Luzon was a barren land decades ago, full of miasma. , we descendants of the Yellow Emperor attach great importance to the country, if we can't survive, why would we go there?"

"Ugh!"

Zhao Ji sighed heavily, "Fu Zun, you are just too straight, you don't understand the corruption of human heart..."

His voice became lower and lower, "Who can take the initiative to reveal his own scars for others to see?"

Zoff was stunned.

Acknowledging these exodus...

Is it tantamount to admitting that you are incompetent?

"The imperial court also has considerations from the imperial court."

Another official said in a low voice: "We are going to send troops, which is tantamount to admitting the innocence of these fugitives. It is correct. When everyone in the world follows suit, it will cause a catastrophe?"

Zuo Fu opened his mouth wide, suddenly felt that he was not an official, she was still an ordinary citizen.Because she couldn't understand this thinking, but she couldn't find any reason to refute them.

Yes, as a ruler, there are too many things to consider. If the immigrants are admitted to be innocent, no one can guarantee what the impact will be.
But it is impossible to make Zuo Fu give up by thinking like this.She still instinctively felt a pang of anger, a sense of being offended.

After all, she is from a later life, and she has seen the centuries-old dark history of China from history textbooks, and even before she came to this world, she could still feel the pain of the centuries-old darkness.

There will always be some extremists on the forums of later generations who hate outsiders, and later even hate all Chinese, but Zuo Fu thinks this is unnecessary.

Just as banana people cannot wash off their yellow skin and black eyes, people living in China cannot wash off their racial symbols.

To put it bluntly, even if it is really a group of disgusting banana people, if one day they are massacred as a specific race, it will still be unpleasant!Because this is racial discrimination, this is a unique discrimination and insult to Chinese people!

So Zuo Fu couldn't bear it!Not to mention that the Chinese who are going to Nanyang now have a high sense of national identity. When the Qiongzhou fleet arrived in Southeast Asia, they did not know how much help they gave!Even though there were several massacres and the imperial court ignored them, they still regarded themselves as Ming people and Chinese people, hoping that one day the emperor would figure it out, forgive them, and bring them back under the rule.

They are not banana people, they are a group of poor people who are forced by life and have to go far away to find a way out!

Troops must be dispatched!

She clenched her hands involuntarily, and said coldly: "If we can't protect our compatriots, we can't be called strong!"

"What's going on here?"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Xunting's voice came.

A few servants followed behind him, opened the door curtain and walked in, and said with a smile, "It's so cold, why are you still so angry? With this murderous look, who provoked you?"

"Hello, Lord Hou!"

A group of secondary officials stood up and saluted, their eyes unconsciously fell behind Sun Xuntang.

It is said that after my lord got married, this Lord Hou also moved here. Now, like the lord, he lives in the yamen for almost a long time, and the family only goes back to visit during the day.

To their surprise, after getting along with each other for a long time, they found that the Marquis was not like the outside legend at all.This guy is always smiling, and he will come here every week to deliver snacks. He can be described as a 24-filial good husband.

He is kind to adults and kind to them. The snacks he brings always have their share, and he always makes them in different ways. He doesn't care that his wife is better than him, and he seems to enjoy it.

No, it's time, and he came over with a food box again.

Well, it came just in time.

Looking at their lord's gloomy face, they knew that it would not be so easy for them to give up, so this Lord Marquis came just in time.Firstly, they can ease the atmosphere by eating snacks, so that they can organize their language, and secondly...

Maybe their adults can listen to Master Hou's words.

To be honest, there is no need for this memorial at all.It's just that they are special adults, they can go straight to the heaven, but if they are replaced by others, it is estimated that this memorial will be picked out directly, and it will not be sent to the emperor at all.

Is it a matter that several overseas untouchables were killed?No fuss, it's not bad if you don't get reprimanded!And most of them will be disappointed if they take this book, so it is better not to do it, so as not to be laughed at.

Sun Xunyu called the servants to come in, opened the food box, and said: "Today, I made fried buns with green onion and mutton, and duck blood soup. Come, everyone, eat some to warm your body. The dessert here is lotus root starch osmanthus cake. Have something warm, and dessert later."

"Thank you Hou Ye!"

Everyone hurriedly thanked them, but they didn't dare to talk too much, so they took their share and ate away.

"what happened?"

Sun Xunting pushed Chi Shi to Zuo Fu, "You don't have a good face."

"Where?"

Zuo Fu handed the letter to Sun Xunting, "It's because of anger."

Sun Xunyu took the letter, and after quickly browsing it from top to bottom, his face gradually became gloomy.

Several Zuoer officials took a sneak peek and almost choked when they saw Sun Xuntang's expression.

its not right!
Why did Master Hou's face turn ugly?
"What are you going to do?"

After a while, Sun Xunting asked.

Zuo Fu said: "I am going to write a letter to Your Majesty, suggesting to send troops."

Sun Xunzhen shook his head, "This matter can't be done too much. But you have to make a statement..."

He sneered, "It's up to the owner to beat a dog. This Spaniard raised his butcher's knife at me again and again. I really can't bear it!"

Zuo Fu was a little surprised, "You also think they should be taught a lesson?"

Sun Xuntang said: "We have more and more interests in that area, and our involvement is getting deeper and deeper. Even if it is not for these people who are going to Nanyang, we have to plan for ourselves."

He paused and said: "You hand in the memorial first, even if the court disagrees, it's okay. Did you forget that we still have a pioneer group? Luzon also has gold mines, right? Otherwise, why are these Spaniards staring at the eyeballs?" like?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the assistant officials were shocked!

Mom!

This is the true face of Master Hou, right?You don't want to stand up for others, you obviously want to take the opportunity to grab the territory!
