Chongzhen Chat Group

"The Dutch governor requested that points be set up in the territories of these indigenous chiefs, and then money should be paid to them regularly every year, including the spices they need. He said this is what they should get, it is protection money, to protect them from At the hands of our Ming Dynasty!"

"The faces of the indigenous leaders changed. One of them stood up and replied, "The Ming Dynasty has not reached out its hand yet, and you Xiyi people have reached out to ask for money first, so it is better to give it to us, the Ming Dynasty." The subordinates thought, This indigenous leader has a point.”

"The Dutch admiral was very angry. He pulled out his sword and wanted to take action. However, he was stopped by the Dutch governor. But even so, the indigenous leader who spoke just now seemed to be frightened, and his face turned a little pale!"

"The Governor of the Netherlands said that he will not interfere in the internal affairs of the indigenous leaders. He only collects money and what he needs. If we from the Ming Dynasty come over, we will be granted the title of vassal king. From now on, this place will not belong to the indigenous people like them. This place is still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. I hope they can think clearly about which one is good for them and which one is bad for them!"

"After the Governor of the Netherlands said this, Liu Xiang spoke. He said that the emperor has a golden tongue and will definitely fulfill his words. These leaders have not treated us Ming people well before, and many indigenous leaders even have Ming dynasties in their hands. Human blood. He gave several examples, one of which was the indigenous leader who just opposed it. Liu Xiang said that the Ming Dynasty will never let them go!"

When the live broadcast reached here, Liang Xiaozhen took a photo and uploaded it. Through the photos, we can indeed see that Liu Xiang was standing in front of the Dutch governor, pointing at the indigenous leaders, and opening his mouth a bit flat. And the faces of the indigenous leaders all looked very ugly.

Text live broadcast continues.

"After Liu Xiang finished speaking, the Dutch Governor began to ask if anyone disagreed with him and could speak freely. He would not care."

"However, the Dutch admiral next to him looked fiercely at the indigenous leaders who were about to speak."

"It's been a while now. The admiral's vicious threat must have frightened the indigenous leaders, and no one has objected yet!"

"A smile appeared on the face of the Dutch Governor, he stood up and clapped his hands and said, very good, he likes this, he likes to make friends, and everyone will be friends from now on. The Dutch fleet is everyone's fleet, and they will come to visit from time to time. . As long as the protection fee can be paid on time, he guarantees that he will never infringe on the ruling rights of these indigenous leaders!"

"Those indigenous leaders seemed to recognize it, and they were polite to the Dutch governor. They said that with the Dutch warships, they felt very safe! They also said that with the Dutch fleet here, our Ming Dynasty would not even think about coming to Nanyang. There are even One said that he suggested that the Dutch attack our Ming Dynasty to steal things, saying that our Ming Dynasty has many things!"

A photo was uploaded again, and Liang Xiaozhen even took the trouble to edit it, circled a head in red, and then said: "This is the person who gave the suggestion to the Governor of the Netherlands and wanted to invade our Ming Dynasty!"

"These indigenous leaders are going too far. Some of their words are so disgusting that their subordinates don't know how they can express them. They really regard the Dutch as their biological fathers and mothers!"

"The Dutch Governor spoke again. He said that one day in the future, he will definitely come to the Ming Dynasty. But before that, we must first eliminate all the Ming people in Nanyang. To the Dutch, these are all It’s a simple matter, just send the fleet over.”

"He also said that the Dutch are the most powerful in the world. From their home country, no country can be their opponent. When the fleet is sent out, anyone who does not obey the Dutch or listen to the Dutch will be killed. They were wiped out. But those who were obedient and willing to pay protection fees are still getting good benefits now, because they have won the friendship of the Dutch, and the Dutch will protect them!"

Liang Xiaozhen finished the live broadcast here and said casually: "As far as I know, the Dutch governor is bragging again. On Temasek's side alone, if Liu Xiang's pirate group hadn't come over, they would have been fighting the Portuguese for many more years."

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The Dutch are a small country. The Ming Dynasty did not go to sea to fight for hegemony. They can only jump a few times. Over there, the largest country in Xiyi is only as big as our province. They fight each other. Fighting and killing, a group of young men are competing with each other. If the Ming Dynasty were around, I would have sent troops to destroy them."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liang Xiaozhen replied immediately after hearing this.

When the other silent people in the temporary group saw the emperor saying this, they all immediately burst into tears: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

"I am willing to be the vanguard and defeat the Western Yi lair!"

"..."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he stopped and said, "Okay, let's continue the live broadcast. It's quite interesting to watch."

Having said this, he thought about it, having fun alone is like having fun with everyone.

With this in mind, he pulled all the senior officials in the chat group into this temporary group, including even Queen Hailanzhu and others. In just a moment, dozens of people were added to the group.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished, he said to them: "Now in Temasek, Nanyang, pirates, indigenous leaders and Western barbarians have sworn together to deal with our Ming Dynasty. Come and see, it's not that I want to start a war, but they are causing trouble." I, do you understand?"

After finishing speaking, he reposted the chat history of the temporary chat group. When they had almost finished watching, they told Liang Xiaozhen: "Okay, let's continue the live broadcast!"

Although she didn't know who the new ones were, Liang Xiaozhen understood that these must be high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. With so many people watching his live broadcast, he felt a little stressed.

But the emperor had already spoken, and he had to continue even if he felt pressured.

"The Governor of the Netherlands spoke with a smile, saying that before we wipe out the Ming people in Nanyang, we need to set a specific protection fee. Let Liu Xiang introduce the situation, and he will write down one of the contents of the Dreaming Oath."

Liang Xiaozhen said a word and posted a photo of the scene to prove it.

"Liu Xiang knew all these indigenous forces well, so after the introduction, the Dutch Governor immediately decided how much protection fee they would pay. The faces of the indigenous leaders turned ugly again, and several of them began to bargain with the Dutch Governor. "

A photo of the bargaining was immediately uploaded. It can be seen that all the indigenous leaders have sad faces.

"The Dutch governor was always smiling, and the Dutch admiral looked like he wanted to eat people. They didn't listen to the opinions put forward by the natives. Whatever the price was, that's what it was!"

"..."

In the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, First Assistant Wen Tiren quit the chat group and ordered the clerk: "Go and bring some pastries or something."

Then, he entered the chat group and mentioned something in the cabinet chat group: "Colleagues, you can relax and watch while you eat!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but find it funny when he saw Wen Tiren's words. But think about it, these cabinet ministers are always busy and are not as casual as myself. Yes, this kind of live broadcast should really be watched in a relaxed manner.

So, he intervened in the cabinet group and said: "What Qing Wen said makes sense. All of you, dear friends, have worked hard. I asked Supervisor Shang Shan to send some fruits and snacks to the cabinet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Upon hearing this, all the ministers in the cabinet smiled and thanked him for receiving the reward.

As for the seven ministers and so on, the offices were too scattered, so Emperor Chongzhen just did as he pleased. As for the few in the palace, they have their own, and they are free to do so.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly came to his senses, hey, he doesn't have it yet! I have to eat some melon seeds, beer and mineral water. Well, there are some things that I don’t have yet. After Nanyang and the Japanese countries are solved, I can get these things. I’ll let Superintendent Shang Shan also give me some tea and fruit snacks first.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had another thought. Doesn’t the chat group have a recording function? When I have some free time, I can make movies and TV series, at least dramas and operas, etc., which are fine. Then I can play them in the chat group, and everyone can watch them together while eating tea, fruit, snacks, etc.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen finally came back to his senses and continued to watch Temasek's live broadcast first!

In the cabinet, several ministers were eating pastries while discussing the live broadcast.

"Those who are not from our race must have different minds. If our Ming Dynasty were not strong enough, these Western barbarians might really attack our Ming Dynasty!" Wen Tiren, the first assistant, sighed.

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong, the second assistant, nodded and said: "I just saw this Dutch navy photo. If it had been before, look at the rows of cannons on each ship, and they would all be red cannons, right? It is really possible that we cannot defeat them. In this case, the long coastline of our Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

He had never been to the south, but he had served as the governor of Jiliao and was also in charge of ships in the Bohai Sea. Based on previous impressions, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was indeed not comparable to those of the Western Yi.

"Haha, thanks to your Majesty's wisdom, no matter how many Dutch sailors there are, they are not afraid now!" Xue Guoguan, the assistant minister, ate more than half of the pastry in one bite and said with a smile, "This time I will definitely surprise the Western Yi."

Zhang Zhifa, another assistant minister who had been silent, smiled and said: "Your Majesty has prepared for a rainy day and has long known that Xiyi will not be so kind. It is also thanks to your Majesty's wisdom that our Ming Dynasty did not rest on its laurels. Now our Ming Dynasty's naval strength is worthy of it." That’s a lot of military spending every year!”

…

Wen Tiren listened to their conversation and kept smiling. He was glad that he had met a good monarch. It was certain that he would leave his name in history.

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood, so he interjected: "I'm not flattering you. Don't look at your Majesty's young age. In terms of vision and knowledge, no one in our Ming Dynasty can match your Majesty. Therefore, colleagues, we have to do something The only thing I have to do is to do what His Majesty has given me. This is enough!"

"Well, the Chief Assistant is right. His Majesty's foresight is indeed beyond doubt!" Sun Chengzong also sighed with emotion. Sometimes, he had doubts in his heart, where did the emperor's ability come from? intrinsic? Or is it given by that magical chat group?

…

Not to mention that the cabinet was chatting over fruits and refreshments and entering the chat group to watch the live broadcast. Far away at the oath-taking venue in Temasek, Dutch Governor Kun felt particularly happy when he saw that everything was under control. Seeing that the covenant was written according to his wishes, he stood up, smiled and said to the indigenous leaders: "My friends, you can rest assured. The oath has been fulfilled. It is our responsibility in the Netherlands to protect you. You. Don’t worry, the Ming Kingdom may be very powerful in your eyes, but in front of our invincible Dutch fleet, the Ming Kingdom Navy can be wiped out in a snap!”

"That's right, the governor is right!" Liu Xiang quickly agreed, "The governor's fleet has fast ships and powerful artillery. The imperial navy is not an opponent in any way. What's more, now that we have formed an alliance to fight, the warships alone The number exceeds four hundred ships, far more than the imperial navy. The outcome of this battle will be known without fighting!"

"Hmph, can those of your ships be called battleships?" Dutch Admiral Anthony snorted disdainfully upon hearing this, "Our Dutch fleet is enough to deal with the Ming Navy. You just need to disperse to prevent them from escaping. As long as we can entangle them and wait for our Dutch fleet to destroy their main force, believe it or not, not even a single Ming navy can escape?"

"That's it, that's it!" Liu Xiang felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but he had to admit that not to mention the ships of the indigenous leaders, even his own ships were not worthy of comparison with the sailing warships of the Netherlands. It was also because of this that he was afraid that the imperial navy also had sailing warships. We really need to develop the imperial navy. When we encounter the imperial navy at sea and cannot run away, it will really be over.

In addition, there was a hidden worry that he never said out loud. Because they were afraid of dampening the enthusiasm of those present, including the Dutch.

Only a great pirate like him who escaped from the Ming Dynasty knows how great the potential of the imperial court is! Even in this decisive battle in Nanyang, the imperial navy was completely wiped out. But there is also Li Zhiqi on the imperial side, who is also a good player in naval warfare. As for warships, believe it or not, in less than ten years, a larger imperial navy will sail to Nanyang again?

When thinking this way, the Dutch Governor Kun was very excited. According to the Eastern custom, he made an alliance with blood and completed the oath ceremony. Then, he announced in public: "The oath has been fulfilled. As the leader of the alliance, I am also a cheerful person. In two days, we will send troops to Luzon. How about it?"

Neither the indigenous leader nor Liu Xiang would have any objections to this.

Dutch Admiral Anthony then said: "In this battle, our Dutch fleet will be the main force, and the rest of you will be the vanguard. We will make a posture of attacking Manila to attract the Ming army to gather, so that our Dutch fleet can take over the Ming navy in one go. Then, together, Capture Manila.”

Thanks to Hope Heaven for the reward! No rest tonight, try to update on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
