Chapter 265 Unfortunate Wang Jinbao
When Fu Wenlong saw Wang Jinbao's appearance, he couldn't say anything. After all, he had been working with him for more than a year. In addition, Wang Jinbao was the confidant of King Chu, so Fu Wenlong had no choice but to deal with him.
Fu Wenlong suppressed the fire and said, "Teacher Wang, let your people stop now. Calculate how many people are still alive."
Wang Jinbao nodded and agreed and went down to organize the personnel to count the number.
Now the whole of Manila has become a pile of dead people. The climate in Southeast Asia is hot. If the corpses on the ground are not buried, they will rot the next day. Fu Wenlong has no choice but to organize people to bury the corpses.
After five days of busyness, the entire Manila city was cleaned up. At this time, the statistics also came out. Thirty thousand indigenous people in the city were killed, leaving only dozens of women as military prostitutes. The Spaniards were left, and most of the houses they lived in were stone buildings. But in this way, more than 8,000 Spanish were killed, and only more than 7,000 were left. Fortunately, the deaths were all sailors, soldiers, civilians. Very few nobles and missionaries died. This was also a great blessing in disgrace.
There were a lot of money. Most of the money robbed by the Han people half a year ago were from the indigenous people. This time, Fu Wenlong was all cheaper. In addition, the Spanish got 3,000 kilograms of gold and more than 500,000 kilograms of silver, and countless treasures.
Fu Wenlong did not dare to delay, and immediately gave the King of Chu Zhu Hongsan* a good news after the finishing work was completed, and explained the situation of the battle and the seized property to the King of Chu. Of course, the massacre of Wang Jinbao when he entered the city, Fu Wenlong used the Spring and Autumn style. He did not say that the person killed after the Spanish surrendered, but said that the Spanish resisted fiercely, and Wang Jinbao forced him to massacre the city.
But Fu Wenlong's thoughts were hidden by Zhu Hongsan. After seeing the news, Zhu Hongsan was furious and issued an order saying that Wang Jinbao had killed everyone? He asked all his eight thousand people to go to the gold mine in Luzon to dig for a month. It means that you can't kill people? If you don't have anyone to mine, go.
After the order came to Luzon, Fu Wenlong said to Wang Jinbao: "Teacher Wang, I have no choice, the order of the King of Chu."
Wang Jinbao said with a bitter face: "Governor General, can you find a mine that is easy to dig for my brother?"
Letting Wang Jinbao and the others go to mining is to punish them. They will definitely not be exhausted. Food and salt water are guaranteed normally, which is equivalent to conducting a month of field training. But this is not a good time after a month.
Wang Jinbao and his team changed their mission to arrest the indigenous people a month later, after all, they were the main labor force. Wang Jinbao was also angry with these Southeast Asian monkeys, so he worked very hard to catch them. In less than a month, more than 10,000 people were arrested. These people immediately went to the Spanish mine to dig gold and produce rice for the evil King Zhu Hongsan of Chu.
Luzon has abundant local resources and the indigenous people are very lazy. They used to be unable to starve to death as long as they had a few banana trees. This time they fell into Fu Wenlong's hands. Fu Wenlong was pretty good to the locals when he was in Annan. After all, the Annan people speak Chinese and wear Hanfu, which is an object of education in Fu Wenlong's eyes. However, many of the indigenous people in Luzon did not wear clothes. This is a savage in the eyes of traditional literati like Fu Wenlong, so can they be polite to them?
At this time, the islands of Luzon had a population of about three million, and some places had formed primary tribal alliances. However, in the years when Fu Wenlong was ruled, the indigenous population of Luzon was reduced by half. Later, Wang Jinbao was a little dizzy when he saw Fu Wenlong.
"It's still these stinky old Jiu who is so tired that I killed 30,000 people in one night. These stinky old Jiu who killed millions in just a few years."
Luzon is rich in copper, gold, nickel ore and iron ore. In addition, the natural climate is hot, rice can be ripened four times a year. This place falls into Zhu Hongsan's hands and makes him feel like a tiger. Every year, millions of tons of rice and hundreds of thousands of tons of iron ore and copper ore are transported to Guangdong, which strongly supports Zhu Hongsan's anti-Qing movement.
In the first year of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty, it was also November of the first year of Longwu. Zhu Hongsan received a letter from Fu Wenlong in Dongguan, and the entire Luzon Island fell into his hands. This should have been a happy news. However, Zhu Hongsan, the King of Chu, was not happy either. It was not Luzon's business. The Longwu court far away in Fujian, sent someone to ask Zhu Hongsan to remove the title of the state.
The one who came to read the Longwu edict was Zhu Hongsan's cheap father-in-law Chen Zizhuang. This old guy put on makeup and fled after the Qing Dynasty occupied Nanjing, and went to Fujian to catch up with the king of Tang. Zhu Youjian, the king of Tang, immediately made him the Minister of Rites.
Later, the King of Tang heard that the King of Chu in Guangdong was also supervising the country with the support of civil officials. The King of Tang was the first to be emperor under the insistence of Huang Daozhou and others, and used this to suppress the King of Chu to bow his head.
Today is the third time that the Tang King sent someone to ask Zhu Hongsan to get rid of the title. The previous two times Zhu Hongsan was unknown. Today, the Tang King sent Chen Zizhuang to come. It seems that there will be a result.
Listening to Chen Zizhuang finish reading the edict of the King of Tang, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Mr. Chen, what is written on the King of Tang?" The edicts just now were all classical Chinese, so how could Zhu Hongsan understand it?
Chen Zizhuang also knew that the Ming Dynasty's royal family was not ignorant, so he didn't take it seriously. He said, "Your Highness, the Emperor, in the edict, said that if King Chu can get rid of the title of the State Supervisor, we will recognize all the officials you have appointed, and at the same time give you one million acres of land in Guangdong."
"Depending on your mother, it's only one million mu. The land in Guangdong belongs to me. Is it necessary for you to give it?" I thought so in my heart, but I can't say that.
Zhu Hongsan pressed the fire and continued, "Mr. Chen, I heard that what you gave to King Lu is not this condition. Didn't the Tang King still want to make King Lu the heir?"
"Your Highness, your bloodline is alienated, and this is incomparable to King Lu. In addition, King Lu has become the crown prince, how can a country have two heirs?"
"Mr. Chen, then, your King of Tang has noble bloodline? Didn't he stay in Fengyang Prison before?"
Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but feel very unhappy when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. He had no good impression of the King of Chu. He heard that he was greedy and lustful, and even brought the princess of King Ji of Changsha to the mansion. The princess had a husband. Even if the news was fake, his daughter was there, which was true.
At that time, Chen Zizhuang received the news that his daughter had remarried from his hometown and was so angry that she was so angry that Chen Zizhuang almost wrote a letter home and broke off relations with his daughter. Later, it was his younger brother Chen Zisheng who wrote to him to explain the situation, and he realized that it was the King of Chu who ruined his daughter's reputation.
When he knew that Emperor Longwu wanted to send an envoy again, Chen Zizhuang took the initiative to ask for the position, otherwise he would not have to do such a chore with his official position.
Chen Zizhuang originally came to see Zhu Hongsan with a lot of fire. He was forcibly suppressing him just now. Now when he heard Zhu Hongsan insulting his master, he could still bear it.
"King of Chu, your background is not very good. You were born in Huguang. You were originally a remote royal family. You became the King of Chu by flattering Emperor Hongguang. Our Emperor Longwu is sleeping on firewood and tasting gall. He is very talented and wiser, much better than you, a greedy, lustful person!"
When Zhu Hongsan heard Chen Zizhuang grow up and reveal his true feelings, he was angry and stood up and pointed at Chen Zizhuang: "Old Gui Chen, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Hmph! What can you do, a slutty man? But I am not afraid of you, and killing me will confirm your stupidity!"
Zhu Hongsan was trembling with his hands. He was a little lustful, but is this a bad thing? How many people did I save? How many things did I do? Do you know these?
Zhu Hongsan shouted, "Come!" The guards outside heard the call of the King of Chu and rushed in.
When Zhang Jiayu, who was next to him, saw Zhu Hongsan wanting to kill someone, he hurried forward and said, "Responsible for the regent, are you going to kill Lord Chen wrongly and fulfill his loyalty name?"
"That's right, this old guy can't be killed. He is a ground cannon from Guangzhou, an idol of Guangdong Shilin. Killing him will lose the hearts of Guangdong scholars. In addition, Chen is pregnant, it doesn't matter whether his wife dies, but the child in his stomach is his own flesh and blood." Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan suppressed his anger and said to the six guards: "Driving this old guy away for me."
Chen Zizhuang waved his sleeves and looked up and said, "King of Chu, you haven't replied to me yet."
Seeing Zhu Hongsan's dark face, Zhang Jiayu stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, we need to discuss such a big deal with the cabinet. Please wait in Dongguan for a few days."
Chen Zizhuang glanced at Zhang Jiayu, snorted and turned to go out.
Seeing Chen Zizhuang go out, Zhu Hongsan cursed: "This old guy will be struck to death by lightning sooner or later!"
Zhang Jiayu couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhu Hongsan like this and said, "The State Responsible, Chen Zizhuang is like this. When I was in Guangzhou, I heard of his name for a long time. His personality is old and stronger, and his nature is like a fire."
This is true. Zhu Hongsan remembers that Chen Zizhuang, Sanzhong of Lingnan, was later killed by Tong Yangjia with a large saw. He is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of Zhu Hongsan, he felt that Chen Zizhuang was a target of victory.
"Your Highness, this is the third time that the King of Tang and others have come to the army. They have fooled them before, but Chen Zizhuang is afraid that he can't fool them this time."
Zhu Hongsan nodded. As time traveled over, his historical memory of Nanming became increasingly blurred. Now he only remembers that Hongguang was Longwu behind, and Yongli behind. As for how many years Longwu persisted, he couldn't remember. So the previous few times he perfunctory messengers, he thought that Longwu didn't have much time to live. But he didn't expect that Zhu Youjian, a guy who lived well in Quanzhou for half a year, has been in the Qing Dynasty for the past few months and has been in chaos in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and has no time to go south to deal with Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Hongsan didn't know that this was the Southern Zhili Expeditionary Army he sent to help Zhu Youjian. Li Zhi and his team did a good job along the Yangtze River and Zhejiang, restraining the Qing army in large quantities, making the Qing Dynasty have no time to go south.
