The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1778

[1778. Chapter 1690 The Mighty Crown Prince]

Liu Yi had to hold his nose and took the report from Zhou Tangsheng.

Opening the memorial and looking at it, Liu Yi subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

Here, various crimes of the Portuguese are severely enumerated.

For example, killing the Javanese natives.

For example… plundering merchant ships.

Another example is showing off one’s strength.

In addition, they also invaded land and raped women.

The Javanese natives were murdered in countless numbers.

But…

Liu Yi didn’t have the slightest expression on his face.

Because these accusations… seem to have nothing to do with me.

He looked up and saw that everyone in Zhou Tang’s family looked filled with indignation.

They all looked furious. Zhou Tangsheng even suddenly stood up and held the tea cup in his hand as if to throw it down.

But he swung his hand, halfway through the swing, but the tea cup in his hand was still tightly clasped by his fingers, preventing it from falling.

This is because…he remembered something very important at this moment. In Luzon, porcelain is still very valuable. This white porcelain tea cup would not be worth much money in the Ming Dynasty. But here, the price is dozens of times higher… save your money.

So…he put the tea cup back on the coffee table with a righteous expression, with fire in his eyes, and said plausibly: “This is too unbearable to endure! If we read the books of sages, we can endure such evil deeds.” What if you don’t know? Now that you know the Portuguese’s evil deeds, you will be sworn in with the Portuguese! “

Then… everyone stood up and said angrily: “We are sworn in with the Portuguese!”

“Expulse the Portuguese! We have always been closely related to the Central Plains. How can we allow this ghost-like Franconian to get involved? Mr. Liu, please hurry up and ask the court to bring in an army. If we have money and strength, we can help the court to fight against thieves without breaking the bank. Java, we will never rest. “

” Mr. Liu, don’t worry about raising tigers. The Portuguese are operating here. This is the side of my Ming Dynasty’s bed. How can I allow others to sleep soundly on this side of my bed? “

“This is related to the foundation of my Ming Dynasty forever? , the Gonggun princes in the court can ignore them, they can treat them as invisible, but we can’t ignore them. How can we see our ancestors if we don’t punish the barbarians? “

Liu Yi feels a little pain in his head, but he can’t do anything because of them. , seeing how they all screamed, he felt embarrassed and embarrassed. He had to pretend to be calm, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then pretended to be slow and said: “But… Your Majesty… How can you be willing to use troops easily? Military is a major event for the country, and those who are warlike will die in war. The princes in the cabinet are not willing to send troops to the imperial court to go on an expedition. How can the new vassal of Lu Song start a war easily? Don’t get excited, this matter… this matter… we will discuss it in the long run, we will discuss it in the long run… “

As soon as we listened to the long-term discussion, everyone couldn’t help it.

Is this a big deal?

Do you know how fertile the land in the West is?

Do you know how much money you can get from the things that grow in this land?

Do you know how cheap manpower is here?

As for Java, I heard that its population is larger than that of Luzon.

Zhou Tang was so angry that he beat his heart, as if he was going to convulse with excitement: “Mr. Liu, oh Gong Liu, the court is only obedient. We are overseas and are well aware of the thief. How can we remain indifferent? I know that your majesty is acting steadily, and the cabinet is acting steadily.” The princes are also very cautious. But…”

He blinked, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: “But His Royal Highness is the most courageous among the three armies. Although the Duke of Qi suffers from brain disease, he is brave. But he is physically disabled and has a strong will, but he acts decisively and straightforwardly. What if… what if we go to the court and ask His Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Qi to seek justice for the Javanese people? I have read the book. When the Kingdom of Java was under Emperor Wen, They also paid tribute to me during the Ming Dynasty. This was my Ming Dynasty vassal. After that, the Portuguese occupied Java and regarded it as their own. They destroyed the Javanese ancestral temple and the Javanese royal family line was cut off. Daming…”

“Wait a minute…” Liu Yi was confused. He thought these people were crazy.

These guys… actually want to go and beg the prince, and that piece of shit Fang Jifan?

Have you forgotten who took your land and exiled you here?

Although he was exiled here, the situation didn’t seem to be bad.

But now, in order to win over Java, the prince and the Duke of Qi are actually allowed to get involved… Isn’t this inviting a wolf into the house?

But… Liu Yi was shocked to see that all the gentry looked resolute.

He still remembered that just a year ago, when everyone was in Nanjing, they had made fun of the imperial court’s use of troops against the Urals, saying that it was a waste of people’s strength.

Just as he was talking, a scribe came in from outside and said, “Mr. Liu, thank you for asking me to see you.” “

Thank you, Gong…

everyone stood up subconsciously.”

Even Liu Yi couldn’t help but stand up straight.

There are not many people named Xie in Lu Song, and those who are qualified to be called public are even rarer.

Of course, Xie Zhiwen from Yuyao, Shaoxing, definitely counts as one.

This person… was not the biggest gentry in Yuyao before.

When they arrived in Luzon, the Xie family’s land might not be as good as that of other great gentry.

But…the reason why this person is so awe-inspiring. It’s because… Xie Qian, the current cabinet scholar, came from the Xie family in Yuyao.

And this Mr. Xie is Xie Qian’s cousin, dear!

Liu Yi immediately said: “Please, please quickly.”

After a while, a man walked in, wearing a turban and a Confucian shirt, with an extraordinary bearing.

As soon as he came in, before he was greeted, he said: “I can’t bear it anymore. My village has just accepted a refugee from Java. These Portuguese are really bullying people. They treat the natives of Java as pigs.” Dog! “

This heartbreaking look looks very much like Zhou Tangsheng just now.

Liu Yi was confused.

“For turning a blind eye to such evil deeds, how can we… be human beings? Mr. Liu, I came to see you only for one thing…”

Liu Yi looked at Xie Zhiwen with a numb face: “Send troops to Java?”

This time… …But it was Xie Zhiwen’s turn to be confused.

……

After all…Liu Yi is just the governor.

In this life, he is afraid that he will never be able to return to Middle-earth.

Because he knew very well the temperament of His Highness the Crown Prince and that bitch of Duke Qi.

They come, the security.

As a tributary, if he conflicts with all the local gentry, the future will definitely be difficult.

Although these people can’t afford to offend the prince and the Duke of Qi, which family doesn’t have a few relatives in the court?

If you can’t rectify the Duke of Qi, then you can’t rectify him Liu Yi?

So…Liu Yi made a quick decision and did it!

There was no time to delay, so he immediately prepared a memorial. After that, he asked the local gentry to co-sign. The more natural people, the better.

Everyone was happy, as if they were celebrating the New Year, and all they had to do was set off a pair of firecrackers.

After that…he reported this report immediately and sent it away quickly by speedboat.

According to their thoughts, this matter… cannot go through the cabinet. After passing through the cabinet, according to the temperament of the cabinet ministers, this ridiculous report will definitely be suppressed, and there will definitely be nothing good in the vote.

If we go through the channels of the Zhenguo government, maybe… things can be solved.

After all…both the prince and the Duke of Qi have the temperament to watch the excitement and don’t think it’s a big deal, turn nothing into something, and it’s better to turn a small thing into a big one. Such things may not be possible if the Prince and Duke of Qi don’t have to deal with them. .

The clipper sent the memorial away.

Phew…

Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone in the Xie family and Zhou family looked happy and praised Liu Yi for loving the people like a son.

Liu Yi accepted it happily, since it would be in vain if he didn’t accept it anyway.

When the matter reached this point, of course he would not stop doing anything, so Liu Yi issued another official document and ordered someone to send it to the general officer’s yamen, asking General Xu to clean up the troops and take precautions.

In Luzon, this Luzon does not belong to the category of Chief Envoy, but more like a Dusi in a border town. In this Dusi, the chief military officer’s authority is no lower than that of a civil servant, so… it is bound to be the same as that of the young and promising one. Mr. Xu needs some ventilation.

After everyone had finished talking about the business, they had to sit down and have a chat.

So… the native maids in Luzon began to pour tea and water, or rub shoulders and backs. Some people took iced coconuts, pried open a little of the shell, and inserted bamboo tubes for everyone to cool down.

………

Fang Jifan has been looking for the prince more frequently recently.

I felt that at this time… the prince seemed to be quarreling with Xie Qian, so that the prince fell into isolation. At least…

many people were complaining about the gentry, although no one criticized the prince by name. But more or less, there is still resentment.

Therefore, as a good brother, Fang Jifan had no choice but to comfort Zhu Houzhao more.

But Zhu Houzhao didn’t seem to care about this at all.

He was gearing up, as if he wanted to find something to come out with and have a good time at the court meeting.

Zhu Houzhao even prepared a passionate manuscript, which he happily wanted to show to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan stopped and said first: “His Royal Highness is still able to write manuscripts, I admire you, I admire you.”

He opened it and looked at it, and then… his face became unnatural.

What is this thing about? Is it a debate? Your level is too low. If someone just says a few words, they can crush you to death.

“How, how, after reading it, do you think it makes sense?” Zhu Houzhao’s eyes were shining with excitement, and he seemed to be very confident in his manuscript.

Fang Jifan blinked and said with a smile: “Well, that’s well said. It’s really well said. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very talented and I admire him very much. But… the only flaw is…”

After hearing Fang Jifan’s praise, Zhu Houzhao was happy He stood up and grinned.

Then I heard Fang Jifan say: “If such a rich and emotional manuscript is just spoken, it will not show its momentum. In my opinion, while speaking, you might as well bring a thirty-five-pound Yanyue knife with you and wave it in the palace.” , so… it will be more convincing.”

Zhu Houzhao put away his smile, held his chin, and said seriously: “Why?”

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with an expression of caring for the mentally retarded: “Because it will be more imposing. It is also easier for people to be convinced.”

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, and the battle between heaven and man began in his mind, and it seemed that… he took it seriously.
