"In the thirty-first year of Wanli (1603), more than 23,000 Ming people in Luzon were massacred.
In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, another 20,000 Ming people were brutally killed. "
Zhu Youjian said slowly.
In history, the Luzon Massacre was carried out four times in total, and no less than 100,000 Han people died at the hands of the barbarians.
To put it bluntly, these are all the shame of the Han Dynasty, but those in power not only are not ashamed, they even consider themselves to be the emperor of heaven. They are really shameless.
"The Western Barbarians are cruel. They dare to massacre the people of my Ming Dynasty at the gate of my country. You can imagine how cruel these Western Barbarians are and how miserable the people who live in the places occupied by the Western Barbarians live.
I, the great Ming Dynasty, will be the king of heaven. A land of benevolence and righteousness. Naturally, we can't watch those people being bullied by Xi Yi.
However, there are many chores to do with a clear eye. The regular army cannot escape.
So I hope that you can each form an army to clear up those Western barbarians for the common people in the world. "
Zhu Youjian said.
The rise of the West stands on the corpses of countless people.
The Indians were good people who entertained the Westerners, but were eventually killed and almost exterminated.
For the stability of the world and the future of the world, this nation that repays kindness with hatred must be educated.
"But, but." Those nobles hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, I have already made plans for the soldiers. The court currently has 100,000 Korean servants and 100,000 Annan servants. You can choose soldiers from them as the backbone, and finally buy some black slaves to form a large army to rescue those who are suffering. of people.
The court will only collect one-tenth of the tax on all the seizures, and the rest will belong to you. And you can buy weapons and equipment that have been eliminated by the imperial army. "
"But Your Majesty, we have no money now. All our wealth was pledged in order to fry salt." Soon the powerful man said.
Although it is good to have power, how can it be more comfortable to kill someone than to be a pig?
"Are you sure?" Zhu Youjian asked with a straight face.
"It is our honor to go through fire and water for His Majesty, but Your Majesty also knows that the army is a big spender of money. We nobles. Although we have had a small fortune for hundreds of years, it is not enough to consume the army.
And this time, most of our net worth was tied up in this stir-fried salt sale. Without the support of money and food, it is impossible to have a capable army.
It doesn't matter if we die, but it is a big deal if we fail His Majesty. "Xu Guogong said.
"Okay, if you don't learn the good ones, you will learn the bad ones very quickly." Zhu Youjian said.
"The nobles built the country with force, but now you are as cowardly as a bunch of women. Don't you think it's embarrassing for your ancestors? You can't build an army of 20,000, and you can't support an army of 3,000? And you don't have to carry it yourself?
Can't your cooperating businessmen pull off their own chariots?
....
In the end, after Zhu Youjian's sincere advice, these nobles finally chose the right path.
And Zhu Youjian paid nothing more. It’s just a small price to pay for the original price of salt.
America, right? Our Ming Dynasty’s territory is not something that you group of Westerners can covet.
After sending away these nobles, Zhu Youjian began to make further plans.
After all, although Ming Dynasty is strong, it does not mean that Ming Dynasty has no opponents now. It doesn't mean that Ming Dynasty can sit back and relax.
On the contrary, the real crisis of Ming Dynasty has not yet begun.
If you are not careful at all, your strength may be greatly damaged at any time.
