In later generations, Emperor Chongzhen would be very angry whenever he saw overseas Chinese being bullied by Western barbarians and natives. It is also because of this that I particularly admire the glory of the powerful Tang Dynasty.
Now, he has traveled through time and become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, determined to revive the Ming Dynasty, rebuild the glory of the Eastern Empire, and keep this ancient empire standing on top of the world.
However, what he never expected was that reality slapped him in the face. The Spaniards in Luzon Island had massacred the Ming people several times before and had not yet settled their accounts with them. However, when he became emperor, they massacred the Ming people in Luzon again.
This kind of thing is something that neither uncle nor aunt can bear!
Needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen was furious and immediately summoned his ministers to Wuying Palace.
Suddenly the ministers summoned to meet him hurried in and saw both civil and military officials. I learned privately from the eunuch who delivered the message that when the emperor was angry, everyone couldn't help but worry.
In the Wuying Hall, the ministers could not help but whisper while waiting for the emperor.
"Is there a reply from the Oirat tribe in western Mongolia? Is it because they refuse to surrender?"
"This is impossible, the cabinet has not received relevant information!"
"The Ministry of Rites didn't receive it either. Judging by the distance, it's probably due to heavy snow and road closures there at this time. Any news will have to wait until next year!"
"Could it be that Gushi Khan of the Wusizang Xuanwei Department killed the angel?"
"Don't make wild guesses. If this is the case, the cabinet will definitely receive the news!"
"Yes, the Ministry of War will also know about this, but they are all calm!"
"Yes, not only is there no news from these two places, there is even no bad news from other places. Liaodong, North Korea, Japan, Dongwu, Annan, etc. all have mostly good news!"
"..."
After much guessing, they couldn't figure it out. Why was the emperor so angry?
While they were discussing, the sound of "The Emperor has arrived" immediately silenced the Wenhua Hall.
Emperor Chongzhen strode in from the apse. The officials peeked at the emperor during the ceremony and found that the emperor was really angry. Suddenly, they all held their breaths, not daring to do anything to displease the emperor.
Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his anger, and after letting them calm down, he immediately said straight to the point: "I just took a nap for a while, and I dreamed that Taizu warned me that tens of thousands of Ming people in Luzon Island were massacred by the Western Yi again, and their blood flowed like rivers. Dear Sirs, There is no need to doubt that Taizu Nai said that this matter is true. If I remember correctly, this is the fourth time that I have deceived the Ming Dynasty..."
Hearing this, the ministers in Wuying Hall couldn't help but look at each other. Such a big war was actually just because the emperor had a dream, this...
They were all a little speechless, it was just a dream, no matter how realistic the dream was, it was still a dream!
I'm afraid I still have something to think about every day and dream about at night, right?
Of course, there are some ministers who don't think so. Because this is actually Taizu’s dream again!
This Taizu’s dream is really amazing!
Eleven years before Chongzhen, most of them knew exactly what kind of person the current emperor was. However, since Taizu's dream, the emperor seemed to have changed into a different person. He became wise and powerful, became the emperor of the ages, and led the Ming Dynasty to glory again.
Suspiciousness and doubt were the thoughts in the minds of most of the ministers in Wuying Hall at this time.
However, Emperor Chongzhen ignored them, his tone became fierce, and he shouted loudly: "I once said that anyone who dares to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away! My people are my people no matter where they are! If you dare to do this, Do you think that I am a piece of clay when you kill my people unscrupulously?"
In the anger of the emperor, the dragon's power appeared, and all the ministers in Wuying Hall felt invisible pressure. For a moment, none of them dared to think about it. The emperor just had a dream.
In Wuying Hall, it was very quiet, except for the angry voice of Emperor Chongzhen.
"Pass my decree!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered sternly, "Order the governor of Fujian to send troops from Taiwan, and the Ming army stationed in Annan to send troops from Annan. They are both under the command of Bolu Xiangsheng of Liaodong. They will attack Luzon from both sides and kill all the people west of Luzon. Barbarians. If they escape, they will be pursued to the ends of the earth and to the ends of the earth. Kill any local natives who help the tyrants in their cruelty. I want everyone in the world to remember that anyone who dares to kill my people will be repaid with blood!"
If we don't retaliate in kind, or if we continue to condemn or negotiate, those extremely vicious people will not be afraid or have a long memory. Only when the beating hurts them and makes them think of Luzon's lesson if they have similar thoughts and cannot bear the consequences, will they not dare to do similar things again.
This imperial edict can be said to be a murderous edict. Many ministers in Wuying Hall were awe-inspiring for a moment. At this time, they all remembered that the current emperor was not only an emperor, but also a commander who was used to fighting in the north and south, and was used to life and death.
Some ministers were originally thinking about admonishing the emperor. After all, it was just a dream. Even if it was really Taizu who asked for a dream, but for such a big thing, it would be too big to issue a decree without waiting for a report to the local government. Hasty? What if later we discover that the Western Yi people in Luzon did not massacre the Ming people over there?
However, the current Emperor Chongzhen spoke categorically and murderously. None of the people present, including the "stones in the pit", dared to go against the emperor's wishes.
In the Wuying Hall, Emperor Chongzhen was still the only voice. At this time, he turned to look at Xue Guoguan, and said with a serious face: "My decree is issued clearly. In addition, the cabinet will draft a proclamation and spread it throughout the world to let the world know about Xiyi's evil deeds. !”
When Xue Guoguan heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.
It is no problem to make the decree known to the world. But if he were to draft another slogan, if the Xiyi people on Luzon Island were not massacred, and such a big mistake was made, it would be embarrassing for the Ming Dynasty, and it would be embarrassing for him, the chief minister, and he would probably become a laughing stock for a generation!
However, Emperor Chongzhen was staring at him at this moment, and his surging momentum did not give his ministers a chance to refuse. Xue Guoguan had no choice but to accept the order.
But how could a living person be choked to death by urine?
After Xue Guoguan and others returned to the cabinet, after a brief discussion, a message came out. However, although this statement was written in accordance with the wishes of Emperor Chongzhen, it did not clearly state that another massacre of Ming people had just occurred in Xiyi, Luzon. Instead, it was based on several massacres of Ming people since the 31st year of Wanli. Accused.
In this way, it doesn't matter if the massacre in Luzon that Taizu told in a dream is not true. Who told you Luzonxi Yi to raise a butcher knife to kill the people of Ming Dynasty several times in the past? It’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come. Now is the time for retribution!
If what Taizu told in a dream is true, then this message is not wrong, it is to avenge the Western Yi massacre of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this memorandum would first be reviewed by Emperor Chongzhen and approved before it could be approved. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen could see the "trouble" in this at a glance. But he didn't say anything and agreed directly.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that if he once again used Taizu's dream to decide this matter in advance, it would probably make people disbelieve him. But just in time, when Lu Xiangsheng's urgent memorial is delivered, it will be able to prove to the world that the incident that his great ancestor entrusted him with in his dream is true.
So, of course, Taizu’s dream that he had before is also true!
…………
On that day, the imperial edict and the proclamation were announced to the world. It can be said that the world was shocked when they heard it.
Some of them were just shocked that the emperor had dreamed of his great ancestor again? Others expressed regret that the emperor went to war because of his dream.
But as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, more people are very welcome to Emperor Chongzhen's will.
Most of the people who went south to Nanyang to seek a living were from the south, mostly from Fujian and Guangdong.
When the massacre began during the Wanli period, not only did the Spaniards worry about the Ming court's revenge, but the Ming people themselves also placed their hope on the court to uphold justice.
However, the result was that the Spaniards breathed a sigh of relief and became more and more unscrupulous; but the people of the Ming Dynasty were very disappointed, and in the end they were even more desperate.
The slogan "Those who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away" shouted by Emperor Chongzhen again are relatively familiar to the people of the North. However, the people in the south rarely heard about it. Even if they heard about it, they never thought that the emperor would actually send troops to Nanyang to avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty!
Now, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's decree came out, especially under the premise that they had no hope for the court in the first place, this surprise was indescribable!
Another point is that there are many merchants in the south, and Emperor Wanli's previous opinion was that merchants were untouchables. What's more, those merchants who left the Ming Dynasty privately were no longer considered ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, so they didn't care about them at all.
But now, Emperor Chongzhen not only made it clear: My people are my people no matter where they are! They even directly sent troops to destroy the Western barbarians in Luzon and the natives who helped the tyrants to avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty who were killed!
For southern merchants, if this is true, they will feel confident if they go overseas to do business in the future. Because they know that behind them, there is a strong backing, that is Daming!
From now on, when they go to sea, they no longer have to bend down to please and beg others; their backbone will become stronger from this time on, and whoever dares to bully them will have their own court to make the decision for them!
Against this background, as Lu Xiangsheng's urgent memorial was sent all the way north, the people along the way soon learned that the Western Yi massacre of the Ming people really happened in Luzon!
To be honest, after hearing this, everyone believed in the existence of their ancestors, and many unworthy descendants no longer dared not disrespect their ancestors.
Taizu, I really have to rely on my dreams!
