Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1138 How To Help

At the same time, in many places in Daming, the matter of Xiyi's imminent massacre of Ming people in Lusong was slowly spreading and discussing.Especially in Fujian and Guangdong, the spread is faster.

The source is the people in the chat group who saw what Zhang Wu said.

"Have you heard that the Western Barbarians in Luzon are planning to massacre the Ming people there!"

"What's going on? Xiyi is so brave, dare to slaughter our Ming people?"

"Why don't you dare? We Ming people make a lot of money overseas, and they are all jealous! As the saying goes, people make money and birds die for food. Isn't the Western barbarians just barbarians?

"Aren't they afraid of the imperial court's revenge?"

"The imperial court's revenge? Don't you know? In the 35th year of Wanli, Xiyi slaughtered once. Thirty thousand Ming people, regardless of age, were slaughtered by them! Did the imperial court send troops? No! So Xiyi Yi's courage has only grown fat!"

"Isn't it different now? Today's emperor is the king of sages. Jianlu, pirates, Hongyi, and Fulangji have all been driven out and wiped out. Compared with before, our Ming Dynasty is completely different!"

"What's the difference? Luzon is so far away, it's impossible for the imperial court to send troops? I don't think so!"

"..."

Public opinion is roughly divided into two factions, two views.Most people's point of view is that the court will take care of this matter, after all, the current emperor is not the former Wanli emperor!

People in other places are more likely to talk about it after dinner, but people in Fujian and Guangdong are very anxious after hearing the news.Because most of the Ming people who went to Nanyang were from these two provinces.Unlike other places, they feel that the imperial court probably won't care about things far away in Luzon!

"Awen, have you heard that those beasts in Luzon want to do something again? Are your family members in Luzon?"

"Yeah, I've heard that too, what should I do? My mother-in-law is crying to death!"

"What can we do, go to the government, only the government can take care of this matter!"

"But will the government take care of it? In the past, so many people died, what happened? You don't know, many people in the street next to us can only worship silently, but they have no way of revenge! Alas, this time They all persuaded me to go out to sea, saying that it is not safe outside, so don’t go, but they really hit the mark!”

"Yeah, Luzon is too far away, and the imperial court thinks that merchants are lowly, so it's strange that they will take care of them!"

"..."

Either caring will lead to chaos, or the injuries I have suffered are still fresh in my memory.When the same thing happened again, many people lacked confidence in the government and the court.

But the safety of relatives far away cannot be allowed to sit idly by!
"Let's go, let's go to the government to petition, find the old man, let the old man come forward!"

"Yes, go to the Governor's Mansion. Mr. Sun hates Xiyi very much. Maybe he will send troops!"

"Didn't the government say that we Daming people will take care of things overseas? I remember saying that we have to explain it!"

"That's after the opening of the sea. I want more people to go to sea, and I want to collect more taxes. That's why I said that! But it's just right, let's go and ask for an explanation!"

"..."

Concerned about the safety of their families, even those whose family members are not in Luzon have followed suit.Because they are afraid, Xiyi in other places will do the same!If the court doesn't care about it, the lives of the family members will be hard to guarantee!
The crowd was turbulent, and a large flow of people slowly gathered. This surprised the local government when they saw it. They were afraid that they would cause trouble, so they mobilized people one after another to try to forcibly dismiss them and prevent them from gathering.

However, it is a matter of family safety, and they do not want the tragedy of the 35th year of Wanli to happen again, and no one listens to the government.

"You are so powerful, why don't you go face Xiyi? You know how to come to us ordinary people, what kind of hero are you?"

"That's right, does what the government said still count? Are overseas Ming people not Ming people? Does the court really care?"

"Folks, let's go to the Governor's Mansion and petition Lord Sun!"

"..."

The local government can't suppress it at all, and the more they try to suppress the matter, the more dissatisfied the people will be, and it seems that it will intensify under the turmoil.

At this moment, the local government became anxious. If something went wrong, that cold-faced Hades would not speak well!For a while, they thought about increasing the intensity of the suppression while reporting the situation to the superior.

However, what they didn't expect was that the arrival of a piece of news unexpectedly changed the momentum of wanting to make trouble immediately.

"Folks, folks, good news, good news!"

"What good news, what good news can there be at this time?"

"Don't you know? The Governor's Mansion issued an order early this morning. If you don't believe me, you can go to the navy station to have a look. The left-behind navy is ready to go to Nanyang!"

"This morning? So soon? Impossible?"

"Is there anything impossible? My youngest son happened to be at home on leave, and he was called back urgently. He said he was going to send troops to Nanyang, and he said he was going to send our Ming army to Nanyang to save our compatriots!"

"..."

At first, many people still didn't believe it.In fact, they can't be blamed for this, because the court's reaction was so fast that they couldn't believe it.Especially when compared with the events of the Wanli period, they couldn't believe what they heard was true!
However, it is a fact that Sun Chuanting sent troops to Nanyang under the order of Emperor Chongzhen. Sun Chuanting was also vigorous and resolute, and he had already done it there. People who saw and heard it, as time passed, naturally knew more and more.

"Don't you know? In fact, the Governor's Mansion has already issued an order last night, and the navy station began to replenish fresh water to prepare for the long-distance voyage last night. It was so lively at the beginning, and I thought something was going to happen. I didn't expect it to be Go to a place as far away as Nanyang!"

"Is the imperial court so nice? Why does it always feel like I'm in a dream!"

"Aren't you stupid? Today's sage is an emperor through the ages. Anyone who violates the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if he is far away, don't you know? The Jianlu in the north are so powerful, and they were still wiped out by the emperor! Didn't there be Xiyi on our side before, Hong Yi is pretty amazing, what about now? And those pirates, what about now? Let me tell you, the current Da Ming is different from the previous Da Ming!"

"I don't believe it, Lu Song is not Daming, the emperor would really take care of such a far away place?"

"..."

Under the dispute, someone suggested: "Go, go and have a look, seeing is believing!"

This proposal is the most practical, but when they arrived, there were no naval warships in the port, only a few small boats, all alone, and the port was very empty.

Knowing their reason for coming, the people around and those left behind by the navy told them that the navy had been ordered to set off to Annan, transport the Ming army there to Luzon, and save the people of Daming!
The speed of the imperial court's action this time surprised everyone.They did not expect that the imperial court cared so much about the safety of the Ming people in Lu Song.Thinking that their relatives might have the hope of surviving, everyone was excited.

"In the future, when we go to Nanyang, we won't be afraid anymore. The imperial court will decide for us, and see who dares to bully us!"

"Your Majesty is so wise! This is the blessing of our little people!"

"..."

Of course, it was only the common people in the naval garrison who could see for the first time that the imperial court really sent troops to Nanyang.However, sending troops is a fact, and the news will naturally calm the worries in other places.

After this matter was reported to Emperor Chongzhen through the chat group, he came back to his senses and immediately issued an order to let the navy going south to make a big splash, so that all the people of Ming Dynasty would know that the court kept its word, even though it was far away. In Nanyang, the imperial court will not let it go, even if it is a war.

This is also a good opportunity, which can be used to cultivate the Ming people's sense of identity and pride in their own country.The feelings of the nation and the nation are to be influenced by the court with practical actions, not just a few slogans.

Of course, publicity is also very important.The storytellers of the post station system started to talk about Nanyang Luzon in the interval between finishing the storytelling.And the news agency that has just been established, is to publish news in real time through the chat group, and also publish more things related to Nanyang Luzon.Not only what is happening in Luzon now, but also what happened in the past, and even various things about Ming people going to Nanyang.

Under the powerful offensive of public opinion, basically the people in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty would talk about Nanyang when they met for a while.It was the lives of nearly [-] Ming people, which touched the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty.As long as people's hearts are full of flesh, they will worry about whether the people far away in Luzon will be safe and sound in the end!

Such a thing, if it were changed to before, it would be unimaginable!It's just something far away in Luzon. Don't say that the news can't be spread, even if it can be spread to China, except for the families and relatives of those Nanyang Ming people, not many people will care about it.

However, now that the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has leveled off, although there are still droughts and floods in various places, the imperial court has money and strong disaster relief capabilities, so people will not starve to death.The most important thing is that with the existence of chat groups, the storytelling system and the establishment of a new newspaper, the combination of these measures put domestic public opinion in the hands of the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen.

This phenomenon, according to the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, means that the people of Ming Dynasty should increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. See the world.Look at the world other than Daming, how big it is!What is the outside world like!
With this foundation, there will be a good foundation for the next step of the national policy, the construction of the Great War.

This Luzon crisis is such an opportunity!

Of course, regardless of the incident itself, there is one thing that Emperor Chongzhen has always insisted on, and that is to save the Ming people in Luzon as much as possible.For this reason, before confirming the news, he issued an order to the big officials in various places to start preparing for the army to Luzon.

"Zhang Wu, what is the situation in Lu Song, in the temporary group, every time there is a change, you must report!" This is the request of Emperor Chongzhen to Zhang Wu.

Naturally, Zhang Wu would not disobey, and his status is different now, he is quite valued by the Ming people in Lusong, and he sits in the headquarters of the Ming people.Therefore, everyone knows the situation, and reports the situation in the group from time to time.

"Thousands of Pampanga people from Luzon came, about 4000 people, about 6000 Japanese people, and others, a total of nearly [-] people, and they have almost assembled!"

"We are about 4000 young and strong, more than [-] healthy women, and the rest are old people and children. Now everyone is busy, thickening the courtyard walls, and connecting several nearby manors."

"The situation is not very good. We don't have enough knives and guns, we don't have any manpower, and there are too few irons."

"The Spaniards' firearms are too powerful. Our archers only have a dozen or so hunters, and they don't have many arrows. They can't fight against them at all!"

"..."

On this day, Emperor Chongzhen basically only paid attention to this matter. Hearing Zhang Wu's feedback on Lu Song's situation bit by bit, he couldn't help being very anxious.

The Ming people on Luzon Island tried to use the hastily rebuilt manor as a basis for resisting aggression. This is simply unrealistic. The Spaniards are artillery.The city walls of the manor would collapse with just a few shots!

Also, in a hurry, the Ming people of Lu Song didn't even have enough basic weapons, which is really terrible!
At this time, the muskets of the Spaniards should still be the same as those along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. They were all arquebus guns, but the Luzon Ming people did not have long-range weapons.

……

Thinking, thinking, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being a little worried. The distance between Annan and Manila in Luzon is not close, and Zheng Zhilong's navy transports troops there, and it is impossible to drive so fast, it will take time.But how long can the Luzon Ming people last with their current crude weapons and fortifications?

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chongzhen wished that his golden finger was a space gate, even if it could only transfer items.In that case, send weapons directly from the country and arm the Luzon Ming people!

Ah, this system is still too rubbish!Emperor Chongzhen secretly sighed in his heart.

This Luzon is really too far away, and it is not too much to say that it is too much!Daming has such powerful resources in the country, not to mention weapons, just firearms are more advanced than the Spaniards, but they can't immediately support the Luzon Ming people!

Emperor Chongzhen sighed secretly, and then scanned the other temporary groups, as well as the main group, and saw messages swiping the screen one by one, and felt a little angry: Huh, they chatted happily!
Thinking of this, he kind of wants to use a big silence technique to see how they talk!
Just thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an idea popped up, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Yes, there is a way to help the Ming people of Luzon immediately, and make them last longer!

Thinking of this, he immediately acted.

　Thanks for the uneven road of mortals, Snow Angel's future rewards!
