The Xiyi people were defeated, and the Dayu people in Luzon returned to their dilapidated home.
The wealth accumulated by two generations was plundered by the Xiyi people. Seeing their relatives being brutally killed and their property taken away, the hatred of the Dayu people in Luzon for the Xiyi people reached its peak!
The grief of the Dayu people in Luzon cannot be sympathized with by the native people.
Perhaps the soldiers of Dayu who came to rescue them felt it. The next day, the streets of Manila were boiling.
"Xiao Lin, have you heard? The soldiers and horses from Lingnan who came to rescue us this time are soldiers and horses from our hometown. Today, General Dayu also issued a notice. All Dayu people in Luzon who have had their homes robbed can go to the governor with their household registration certificates.
The government will receive a resettlement allowance, and those whose family members were killed by Xiyi people can receive a burial allowance!"
"Really or false?" Xiao Lin had just come out from home and was doubtful after hearing his words.
Zheng Shengcai pointed to the way he came, "You can tell with your eyes whether it's true or not. You see, the people following me are all coming from the Governor's Mansion. Their faces are full of excitement. You can imagine the news.
It’s true or false!”
Xiao Lin looked at the road coming from the Governor's Mansion. Many people were running to tell each other, and everyone could feel the joy on their faces.
He wiped his face, wanted to cry and laugh, and finally shouted to the sky: "Father, mother, sister! You can rest in peace in heaven! I can finally use the burial money to buy you a thin coffin to bury you
, you don’t need to wrap your body in a straw mat anymore!”
That’s good!
As for his enemy, the time for revenge has not yet come. As long as he meets that scumbag Boone in this life, he swears that he will kill his enemy with his own hands!
Zheng Shengcai had a sad look on his face, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "My condolences, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin and my little sister will join a wealthy family in their next life!"
Xiao Lin wiped his face and said excitedly: "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion to register. Register early so that we can receive funeral and settlement expenses as soon as possible so that my parents and little sister can be laid to rest as soon as possible!"
When Zheng Sheng heard this, his sad expression softened a lot, and he sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he was a loner.
"What you said makes sense. Let's go. We'll leave early and come back early. It's strange, why did the imperial court send a ship to Luzon this time?"
Xiao Lin also looked puzzled, "I heard from the merchant ships coming and going that the imperial court is currently experiencing continuous famines, bandits are causing chaos, and the people are in dire straits. The imperial court itself is in trouble, so why did it send a ship to Luzon?"
Zheng Shengcai's face looked a little solemn, "Perhaps it is because the court is so difficult that the emperor decided to come to Luzon to occupy territory."
Xiao Lin frowned: "Are you saying that the emperor is leaving a way out for himself because the imperial court is in serious trouble?"
Zheng Sheng glanced at him: "Who can say this kind of thing accurately!"
Besides, Boone woke up on the boat, and when he learned about their current situation, his face became visibly ferocious.
Luzon had been his base for many years, and it was so easily taken away by the Yu people. How could he swallow this sigh of relief?
It's just that these few hundred people are no match for Yu's army currently stationed in Luzon.
We can only go to the base in the Strait of Malacca for temporary refuge.
When he reserves enough strength in the future, he must land in the Yu Dynasty. He has been coveting the wealth of the heavenly kingdom for a long time!
——
As for Dayu, whom Boon coveted, the war was now burning throughout Yangzhou and radiating to several state capitals to the north of Yangzhou.
The new emperor was faced with a war situation that could set off a prairie fire, and he almost lost his hair.
But the courtiers still found trouble for him at this time, and he was furious and sent the two officials to prison.
People with keen reactions could immediately catch a glimpse of the emperor's intentions from this incident!
He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's siege to suppress the civil officials in the court.
In other words, troubled times were approaching, and the emperor began to give his little trust to military generals, so he naturally had to be on guard against these civil servants in the court.
Will civil servants be arrested without mercy?
The answer is, of course not!
Civil servants protest!
The new emperor looked at the ministers with a faint look, "Do you feel that your status is threatened, so regardless of the current situation in the court, you vow to fight me to the death, right?"
"Let's see what you can do. I will issue a decree and let you, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, lead the troops in the war. Let the whole world see if you, the Minister, can fight on the battlefield, repel the enemy, and recover the capital and the areas north of the capital?
"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel came out and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do that. Mr. Zhang is just a weak scholar. He has not been out of the Gyeonggi area for decades. The farthest place he has been is the current Yangzhou. You let him lead the troops in the war. Don't go to the battlefield at that time."
I can’t even tell the difference between east, west, north and south!”
After hearing Tianguan's words, the Minister of Hubu gritted his teeth with hatred and told him not to speak if he didn't know how to speak. What does it mean to belittle him like this?
The new emperor glanced at the Minister of Civil Affairs and said sarcastically: "You are sincere to him. He has no objection, but you are anxious!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel knelt down and said, "I am scared, I am doing everything for the sake of the emperor and the country of Dayu!"
The new emperor's chest hurt at his words, and he sneered: "How about I take you to the Ancestral Temple and invite the ancestors of the Li family to comment on the ceremony and see if they support my decision or yours?"
"Your Majesty, no matter how courageous I am, I will not dare to disturb the late emperors!" The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel sighed and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, please do not say anything that hurts your heart! I have no intention of arrogance!
"
Many other courtiers came out to defend the case as ministers of the Ministry of Personnel.
The new emperor laughed angrily and pointed at the people kneeling on the ground following him: "You have no intention of arrogance? You dare to refute the emperor's golden words. Is there anything else in the world that you dare not do?"
"Are you afraid to form cliques in the government for personal gain? Or are you afraid to seize power and treat me as a puppet?"
"You have worked so hard, why don't I pass on the throne to you and bring the country of Ming Dynasty to you?"
At this time, the official minister was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.
If these words are accidentally spread by someone today, the reputation he has accumulated throughout his life will be destroyed.
Civil servants attach great importance to reputation. If the reputation is destroyed, it will not be accepted by the official minister!
Because he doesn't want to be criticized by future generations, he doesn't want to be ridiculed, he wants to live his life as a loyal minister and good general!
While kowtowing, the official's body went limp, his body tilted to the side, and he fell to the ground.
Oh!
The new emperor looked at it and sneered!
He's used to acting!
Pretending to be sick is a common tactic used by housewives to compete for favors. Today is an eye-opener for the new emperor. The old bastard, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has also learned this trick!
The new emperor ignored the fainted people on the ground and said to the courtiers: "Jiankang is under siege. It seems that Tianguan has been running to the back house these days. Otherwise, how could he learn the tricks that the women in the back house are used to playing?"
So fast?"
The drama of pretending to be dizzy also shocked the former colleagues, and everyone felt a big trough in their hearts!
If you can't deal with the emperor, why do you still do this?
Also, now that the emperor is forced by the situation to become more and more shameless, he is becoming more and more crazy!
Little people like them had better be careful not to get into trouble with the emperor!
"There is also the matter of raising food and grass. I previously proposed that everyone donate food and grass, but you all cried out in front of me. In this case, let me see how poor you are?"
The new emperor turned to look at Dai Yi, who was standing on his left: "Da Mian, please take people to search the houses of the two officials who were imprisoned just now. Let me see if the impoverished officials have food at home.
pot!"
"Young man, take the order and we'll make arrangements right away!"
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Zuo Pushe jumped out at this moment.
The new emperor sneered in his heart and asked with a dark face: "What? I do everything I do without your approval?"
The previous Zuo Pushe was put under house arrest by him, but this time he started to go against him again?
Or is it that he has misjudged the person again? This person has the same virtue as the previous one?
"I'm scared! I'm loyal to the emperor and to Dayu. The sun and the moon can tell me! Please tell me, your Majesty!" Zuo Pushe made a frightened cry and knelt on the ground.
Dai Yi only paused for a moment, and when he saw Zuo Pushe kneeling on the ground, he walked out without even looking at him.
Zuo Pushe's attitude toward Dai Yi made him itch with hatred, "Your Majesty."
"Are you feeling guilty?" The new emperor looked at him with interest, "I just have doubts in my heart, why are you so nervous when I raid those two families? Is it because they are in the same boat as you?"
"Except for the fact that the Heavenly Officials form cliques for personal gain, do you also have this situation? Are the two people who were imprisoned just now part of the same faction as you?"
Zuo Pushe raised his head and looked at the emperor, "I am loyal to the emperor. If you are suspicious, I have no choice but to die to prove my loyalty to the emperor!"
After that, he stood up, swayed, and then hit the pillar when he stabilized himself!
Haha, today's court drama is one scene after another!
The new emperor wants to laugh. This plot of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself is so fake!
If one person dares to bump, another person will dare to pull. One bumps and the other pulls. In the end, both of them are safe and everyone is happy!
It's just that today's scene was so unexpected that he didn't have anyone assigned to play the supporting role.
If you shoot at the colliding Zuopu, you can only hit it hard against the pillar. As soon as you close your eyes, it doesn't matter if the stars or the moon appear in front of your eyes!
The new emperor laughed angrily, he really wanted to help him with a stab and relieve his pain!
Look, no matter how hard your head is, it can't beat the pillars in his palace.
However, let him go for today.
Today he has selected two targets and raided their homes. The officers and soldiers guarding the city will have food again. With food, they will be able to resist the rebels for a while longer.
I just hope there will be a day when I can wait for foreign aid!
Outside Jiankang City.
The rebels send people to shout into the city every day.
Today is no exception. "Brothers on the city, do you still have food to eat? Do you still have meat to eat? Or have you not eaten meat for a long time? Let me tell you, as long as you surrender and open the city gate, there will be meat."
A life of drinking is no longer a luxury, our coach will help you realize it!"
"Stop dithering and make a decision quickly!"
"Don't be ignorant. Surrender as soon as possible and live a peaceful life. Resistance is useless. Surrender still has a chance of survival. If we really wait for our troops to attack the city, you will be treated the same whether you surrender or not. This
You can only do the dirtiest and most tiring work in your life."
Tan Lang, who was sitting in the main tent outside the city, felt a little anxious. Their supply of food and grass was almost out. Jiankang City had been besieged for more than a month but there was still no result.
This made Tan Lang feel shaken in his heart. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to besiege outside Jiankang City in advance this time.
Although I feel a little shaken in my heart, I still have to do what needs to be done.
At the end of February, Tan Lang completed the mobilization of the main force, a total of 20,000 elite troops, rushing to aid the rebels outside Jiankang City.
Obviously, since Tan Lang decided to attack Jiankang, he naturally went all out. At this time, the snow season had passed outside Yangzhou City.
But it's still cold outside!
This city cannot be captured. When the snow melts, cannons will be brought in to help.
——
King Qian led his army and planned to enter Yangzhou eastward. Once they crossed the Nanling Mountains, their team was often harassed by small groups of bandits, which slowed down their march.
Sometimes I can only walk a few dozen miles in a day. I don’t know how long it will take to reach Jiankang at this speed.
Moreover, Jiankang was under siege. If no reinforcements arrived, and the people in Jiankang had to wait for the food to be eaten, the rats on the streets might suffer.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong here!" After setting up camp at night, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan entered the main tent together.
King Qian looked at him, "Sir, have you noticed anything?"
Mr. Zhang nodded: "You haven't noticed that our team has been obstructed by outside bandits as soon as we left Lingnan. They seem to be afraid that we will go to Jiankang to help!"
"Who could have done it?" King Qian frowned, thinking so carefully.
When you come all the way and confront these bandits blocking the road, you can't tell which force they belong to?
This confused them. King Qian rushed to help Jiankang. Logically speaking, all parties were not involved.
Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and said, "It seems that many people want to stop us from going to Jiankang, and Jiankang is also being targeted by many people. Whether we can survive to the last game depends entirely on luck!"
The person behind it wanted to destroy the city of Kang and capture or kill the emperor, so that when the world was about to be in chaos, he could ride on the wind.
Just riding on the wind is risky, and you may risk shattering your bones if you are not careful.
On the narrow mountain road, Ye Sisi, who had been sent out in advance, came to report: "Report! There is a caravan ten miles ahead."
"Caravan? Do you know where the caravan is going?" King Qian turned to look at him.
Ye Bushou said: "There is a small town called Liangtingao fifty miles ahead. This caravan came from there. I heard that it was going to Lingnan to purchase goods. The leader wanted to ask the prince for his opinion whether they could pass through this road.
?”
"This road is not my king's exclusive post road. If we can walk, their caravan can also walk. Let them go there with confidence."
After saying this, King Qian changed his tone and said, "But it's okay to pass by. Please check their household registration."
He followed the order and left without resting at night.
The household registration is verified to be genuine, and there will be no problem after cross-examination.
He stayed up all night and still didn't dare to be careless. He was always observing their every move, watching this team and his own troops passing by.
When they arrived at the place where they stayed for the night, they found that the people they had seen during the day had met again.
This ape dung is really weird!
Seeing that it was late at night, the leader of the caravan smiled at him and said, "Hey, little brother, we meet again. Let's have a drink together tonight?"
