At the same time, Nong Shoucheng also felt a sense of regret in his heart, regretting that he had not brought his family back to the country in advance with the royal master.
He did not expect that the living environment on this ship would be so good, and he even regretted not taking his family back with Master Wang from the beginning.
He couldn't help but think about how much better it would be if he didn't have so much trust in the traitors and didn't refuse to return home with Master Wang because he thought that the imperial court would come to carve up the overseas interests of the children of the rich smuggling clan.
In that case, would my parents, sons, wives and concubines still be alive?
Nong Shoucheng's eyes filled with tears and his face was full of shame.
boom!
Then, Nong Shoucheng suddenly knelt down in the hall and cried, "I'm sorry for you!"
Nong Shoucheng said and began to slap himself with his palm.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Very loud sound.
Many Han people in the hall, as well as officials and soldiers, looked over with curious expressions on their faces.
Only the Jin Yiwei who sent him here knew why he was so rude and knew that he was regretful.
Only after Nong Shoucheng and others were organized by fleet officials to explain the reason did the Han people know what was going on.
"Woo! They are just beasts! Heinous beasts!"
"You can see everywhere that they are killing our people, dividing our bodies, and our women are being raped by them."
“They even take pleasure in it!”
When the Han people on board heard Nong Shoucheng's accusation, many of them couldn't help but feel burning in their hearts and shouted that they wanted to kill all the thieves.
At the same time, some Han people began to feel happy that they did not trust those Westerners too much, but chose to return home with Master Wang.
certainly.
Some Han people also ridiculed these people for being ignorant or saying that they were naive and stupid.
Although the Han people who retreated had different views on this incident, they reached a consensus that those Fanyi who came from the West were not good people.
Even if the banner of promoting love is temporarily used, it may be just a robber disguising himself.
The most direct manifestation is that more and more people support the imperial court's use of troops in Luzon.
When the Han people who were familiar with the economy said that spending more on government-run businesses on ships would increase the court's tax revenue, enable the court to build more large ships, kill more Western barbarians, and ensure more interests of Han merchants overseas, many Han people They all increased their consumption in the name of consumption for the country, buying various valuable specialties and cultural souvenirs similar to figurines on the ship, such as models of Zheng He's treasure ship and models of the Great Wall, etc.
As a result, the country's centripetal force and national cohesion began to increase invisibly.
When the news of the evacuation of overseas Chinese and the massacre of the Chinese who insisted on staying in Manila was reported back to the country, it also caused an uproar in the country. Especially after it was spread by official newspapers and other newspapers, many Han people began to express their anger.
Many missionaries in the country were attacked as a result. Fortunately, the imperial court began to centrally manage them, so no lives were lost.
"Is what this newspaper says true?"
"Has our industry's assets really been robbed?"
In addition, it is worth mentioning that many coastal wealthy families also learned about the massacre of many Han people in Luzon by Western barbarians.
Cai Shiyu, a wealthy gentleman from Fujian and former minister of Taichang Temple in Nanjing, asked Nong Shoucheng who had returned with a look of astonishment.
Nong Shoucheng replied: "I dare not hide it from the master. Yes, the five thousand acres of fertile land that the young man cultivated for the master were taken away. Three hundred looms were also taken away, and everyone was killed." Yes! Including Brother Chun who followed us."
Because Nong Shoucheng was a slave born outside the Cai family before he became a wealthy businessman. The first capital for Nong Shoucheng's overseas trip was provided by his Cai family. Therefore, Nong Shoucheng also called Cai Shiyu the master.
Of course, Nong Shoucheng's property actually belongs to the Cai family, but he gets a share of it.
Cai Shiyu slumped down in his chair after hearing this: "If I had known earlier, I should have written a letter asking you to come back with the evacuation fleet!"
Cai Shiyu suddenly gritted his teeth again as he spoke:
"I want to find someone to impeach Chen Lin, impeach Liu Yingqiu, and impeach these new parties for not seriously evacuating overseas Chinese and having ulterior motives!"
"If they forced all the Han people to leave, why would the Cai family suffer such heavy losses! They caused the tragic deaths of many innocent compatriots and also caused great losses to the interests of many compatriots!"
Xuanzhi Gate.
"Your Majesty! I impeach Weng Yuanbo, Chen Lin, and the Minister of Rites, Foreign Minister Liu Yingqiu, for deceiving the emperor and harming the people, and deliberately failing to force the Han people in Manila to evacuate. As a result, the evacuation of the overseas Chinese was not completed, resulting in heavy losses to the people's interests and great consequences. It hurts His Majesty’s love for the people.”
When the imperial censor Cai Shiding visited the court here that day, Zhu Yijun was the first to go out to impeach Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu.
After Cai Shiding played this, Shen Shixing, Qi Jiguang and others all glanced at Cai Shiding.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but feel angry.
He had to admit that these bureaucrats who represented the interests of the comprador and smuggling wealthy families were really shameless. It was clear that the people on his side did not want to come back, and they refused to come back no matter how much they tried to persuade them. As a result, they were slaughtered and ransacked by Spanish officials, and now they were beaten up again. It is to blame that Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu, the two officials responsible for evacuation of overseas Chinese, did not act seriously, and they seemed to want to make up for the losses from these two people.
Especially the imperial envoy Liu Yingqiu who was directly responsible for the evacuation of overseas Chinese.
Zhu Yijun felt aggrieved for this civil servant named Liu Yingqiu. It was already very rare for him to be willing to go to sea to pick up people, okay?
You know, how many civil servants in this era are willing to risk their lives to go to sea? Many would rather resign than take this job.
Therefore, people can never expect selfish people to know how to be grateful, considerate, and tolerant, even though they always ask others to be tolerant.
Zhu Yijun had already received the report from Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu, as well as the secret report from the Jin Yiwei who was in Luzon and returned with the fleet. He was already very sure that Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu really didn't do anything perfunctory.
Apart from not forcing everyone to go back abroad with the fleet, these two people really tried their best. They even persuaded wealthy businessmen such as Huang Kang and Li Hai who refused. They even almost gave up their distinguished status as the emperor's imperial envoys and used The way of pleading was to beg these people to leave. However, these elites were helpless bureaucrats who thought they understood the foreign barbarians better than the imperial court, and were more willing to trust the foreign barbarian bureaucrats. They also hoped that the foreign barbarian bureaucrats would be better controlled by them. As a result, This resulted in such a tragedy.
As for Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu not being forced to pick up these people, Zhu Yijun also understood, because Xinli did require bureaucrats to respect the wishes of the people as much as possible. Moreover, Zhu Yijun also knew that if they were forced to withdraw, these people would definitely have something to say.
"If it is forced, then we should still treat the Han people as compatriots and treat each other with courtesy?"
"In this case, I am forcing you to be promoted to an official position in Hanhai to make up for the shortage of officials in the border areas. Do you think I am still benevolent?"
Zhu Yijun asked Cai Shiding unceremoniously.
"minister……"
Cai Shiding had to be careful in his answer, because he was really afraid that he would be arranged by His Majesty to go to Hanhai. You must know that Wang Jiaping had already lost his life in Hanhai. If he went, he would definitely have a narrow escape.
"Answer me!"
There is no update in Kavin today, sorry.
