Eight hundred and thirty fifth chapter furious
Yang Feng became angry as soon as he heard An Saye's words, slapped the table and stood up and shouted.
"Rareless, what are you? You dare to point fingers at my Ming Dynasty. Come on!"
"arrive!"
With Yang Feng's shout, four servants holding muskets immediately walked in from outside the door and saluted Yang Feng.
"What are the instructions of the marquis?"
Yang Feng pointed to the three merchants and said, "Drag these three bold guys out to me and take thirty military sticks!"
"Here!" The four servants walked up and were about to drag the three guys away.
Ansaye and the other two were almost scared by Yang Feng's words. Although they had never been beaten by military sticks when they were so old, the fool knew that this was definitely not a good thing. Maybe they would die. Luo Buma, who seemed the least courageous, knelt down and dunked at Yang Feng and said, "Marty...Master, please spare your life..."
"Mr. Caomin is wrong. Caomin shouldn't come here to pick up your tiger beard. Caomin is also entrusted by others!"
The servants, regardless of the embarrassing appearance of the three of them, caught them and dragged them out.
"Wait a moment!"
Yang Feng called out several servants, walked to the three of them and asked with a dark face, "You said, who asked you to come by someone?"
"this……"
Ansaye and the other two looked at each other, and they peered at each other, and their mouths whispered a few times but did not dare to speak.
"Speak...who is it? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Seeing that the three of them were not talking, Yang Feng suddenly shouted, but for a moment he scared the three of them and shivered.
Seeing the three of them hesitant, Yang Feng waved his hands to several servants. The servants grabbed the three of them by the hands and dragged them out. The three of them were so scared that they shouted: "Honor Marquis calm down, the villain said... The villain said..."
Yang Feng called out to the servant again and said calmly: "Tell me, this is your last chance. If you don't follow the real trick, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Ansaye said with a sad face: "Marty, Karulagan let us come."
Yang Feng asked with some confusion: "Karu?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Yang Feng's face, Ansay quickly arrived: "Karu is the son of Karim, the king of Luzon. Lavag, Apari and San Fernando are all his fiefs, and the people of the grass-roots have to listen to his orders."
Yang Feng said calmly: "Tell me the truth, is it Karu's order to deal with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty during this period?"
“Yes…yes.”
"Why should we target Ming merchants specifically?"
"I don't know this Caomin. Caomin and others are just merchants. If they dare to go against the slap, they can only do whatever he says Caomin."
Looking at Ansaye and the other three kneeling in front of him, Yang Feng felt that they might not be able to ask too many useful things from them. As for how to deal with their problems, it was too much for him to be a marquis and several merchants to argue with them, so he asked his servants to drive them out.
Then, Yang Feng summoned the generals in, told everyone what happened just now, and then said, "Everyone, this is the story of the matter. I wonder what you have to think about this?"
After hearing Yang Feng's words, Liu Xiang frowned slightly and said to Yang Feng: "Marty, I think that Karula must have bad intentions to me, the Ming Dynasty. Those three merchants are just here to numb us. The people of Luzon have always been shameless and shameless, so we must be more careful."
Yang Feng nodded slowly: "Well... I think so too. But our army is just a new arrival, and the soldiers still have to repair their combat effectiveness for a while before they can recover their combat effectiveness. At this time, it is not advisable to turn against the Luzons. We will settle the score with them after we finish repairing them."
Liu Xiang said again: "Speaking of this, the Luzon people still owed our Ming Dynasty a bloody debt."
"Oh...blood debt?"
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Liu Xiangdao sighed lightly and said, "This is something that will start from the Jiajing period."
As Liu Xiang told the story, everyone learned a little-known history.
It turned out that in the 30th year of Jiajing (1551 AD), the Ming Dynasty treasury had already begun to become empty. Altan Khan from the north knocked on the gate, Long Xubao, a Miao man from the south, gathered people to stir up trouble, and Japanese pirates along the coast were rampant. One after another, the Emperor Jiajing had white hair for money.
At this moment, ministers Yan Yinglong and Zhang Yi submitted a memorial, saying, "Luzon Jiyi Mountain produces gold and silver at all. If you pick it, you can get 100,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver every year."
When Jiajing heard this, it was a great deal. Luzon actually had so much money, so he hurried to send someone to mine.
So Jiajing immediately ordered Zhang Yi to form a fleet to go to Luzon to hunt for gold.
Of course, there were people in the court who understood it. At that time, some ministers retorted, let alone whether the news was true, even if there was so much gold and silver in Jiyishan in Luzon, they were not fools. Wouldn't they mine it themselves? Zhang Yi and Yan Yinglong just used the court's life to lay out forbidden objects and seduce the people to show off their evil plans."
Although many people opposed it, Jiajing, who had been distracted by money, formed a huge overseas "gold rush group" in the shortest time, despite the opposition of the people, and drove to Luzon in a mighty manner.
The Luzon people were also shocked by the actions of the Ming Dynasty. The Luzon king immediately asked: "The Heavenly Kingdom wants to send people to open the mountains. Each mountain has its own master, how can it open? Just like my country has a mountain, can it allow our country to open?"
The King of Luzon made it very clear that even if there is a gold mountain in Luzon, it is also a Luzonian. If there are gold mountain in the Ming Dynasty, would you let us mine it?
The ending of the matter was naturally predictable. After Zhang Yi arrived at Jiyishan, he did not find any gold or silver. In the end, he could only dig a basket of sand and soil and return to the Ming Dynasty in shame to report.
But the story did not end. After this incident, the King of Luzon became hated by the Ming Dynasty and found an excuse to start massacre Chinese in Luzon. During the massacre that lasted for more than five months, more than 30,000 Chinese were tortured and killed more than 25,000, and the population almost dropped sharply by 90%.
After massacring the Chinese people in Luzon, the King of Luzon falsely wrote to the Fujian Governor Xu Xueju with the lies that "it is said that the Chinese will plan a rebellion, and he has to go ahead and asks the families of the deceased to take their children and treasury."
Xu Xueju was shocked after receiving the news and quickly reported to Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was furious after receiving the report. However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was already in internal and external troubles, and there was no way to attack the Luzon Kingdom far away in the South China Sea. It could only be condemned and finally left it alone.
This incident was a sensation in the Ming Dynasty at that time, but as time went by, not many people knew about it now.
