1132 Help
The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building. Many signs of what is about to happen on Luzon Island have been revealed.
Outside the hairdressing shop, there were several young and strong wise men standing. The door of the shop was covered with empty eyes and there was no light outside. However, if you walk into the yard behind, you can see that there are actually many people gathered here.
The younger ones were standing outside; the older ones were just around the middle of the yard to discuss matters. In the entire yard, except for the moonlight, there was only a storm-like lantern, emitting a light that was not bright at all, shining at such a big place as the table.
"Brother Zhang, you have experience. Tell me, how should we overcome this difficulty?" Lao Wang asked Zhang Wu first.
Several other older people also looked at Zhang Wu with concern, with varying degrees of nervousness on their faces.
Zhang Wu was actually quite embarrassed. He was still young and later thought about some of the things he had done before. However, he never expected such a thing to happen at that time, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he asked him to give everyone an idea, but it was still such an important thing. To put it bluntly, he was a little unsure and a little afraid!
I guess I could see what he was thinking. One of the burly middle-aged men pressed his voice, but the voice was still a little loud: "Brother Zhang, it's okay. Even if you say that, it's better than we have no clue, so as not to be the same as we did back then!"
After hearing this, several other people encouraged Zhang Wu, asking him to put down any burden and tell them about their coping.
Zhang Wu looked at their expectant eyes, finally nodded vigorously, and then pondered for a moment and said, "Since everyone believes in me, then I will tell you about our current situation based on what happened back then!"
Seeing a few people nodding, he continued: "From what we know, the Bangbangites have not gathered yet, and it is impossible for the Spaniards to do it alone. This means that we still have time. This is one of them!"
"Secondly, we cannot believe those rich businessmen who have a good relationship with the Spanish on weekdays, especially those who have been closer to the Spanish recently. But we can warn them not to believe in the Spanish. That time, the Spanish used to deceive people like them first, and then killed those people when the big thing was decided. This is their lesson!"
"Third, we must contact as many compatriots as possible, organize each other, and act together on weekdays. Never leave alone! We must also choose the leader. If there is something wrong, we will not panic!"
"Fourth, at this moment, it is not the time for Gu Xiao family. Those who have money contribute money, those who can make strong efforts, those who can make gunpowder and firearms are all gathered together, and all kinds of weapons and all kinds of weapons can be collected, including swords, guns, sticks and sticks. In this way, we will not be unarmed and unable to resist!"
After saying four points in one breath, Zhang Wu finally stopped and then fell into memories.
The others listened and nodded. Seeing that he stopped talking, they didn't make any noise, they watched Zhang Wu ponder, not wanting to disturb his thoughts.
After a while, Zhang Wu raised his head again and looked at the people in front of him and continued: "We must also choose places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack in advance. Once something happens, everyone will quickly retreat and can rely on the terrain to resist those robbers!"
When others heard this, they began to think of such a place. This hairdressing shop is located on the street, which is obviously not suitable as a stronghold.
Unexpectedly, before they could think of a little, they heard movements outside. Two young men quickly entered, panting, and quickly walked to the table in the middle of the yard. One of them looked at the burly middle-aged man and said, "Master, there are several shops of our Ming people in the south of the city, and they were smashed by the Japanese pirates. There was no reason, and they rushed in and smashed them. A few of them were injured. When we went to stop us, the Spanish drove us back with guns. The Japanese pirates stood behind the Spanish and laughed at us proudly!"
There are not only Ming people in Luzon, but also Japanese people, but there are few people, only a thousand people. In the original history, these Japanese pirates also participated in the massacre of Ming people.
When he heard this, the burly man immediately stood up, took a stick next to him, threw it to him, and thought about walking out.
"Master Niu, what are you doing?" Zhang Wuyi heard this and hurriedly stopped, "The Spanish protectors, what can you do? Are you good at martial arts and can you be faster than their muskets?"
Niu Dazhuang opened a martial arts school in Manila, and his disciples were all Ming people. At this time, he heard Zhang Wu's words, and he had no choice but to stop and said, "What do you think you should do?"
At this time, Zhang Wu had either had more experience or had put aside his ideological burden and seemed very decisive. He immediately replied: "If you want to go out now, you will definitely not be able to come back. We must unite more wise people and do what I said just now!"
After saying that, he turned to the young people and said, "Remind our compatriots, during this period, don't think about doing business and making money. It is best that all Ming people do not do business, so that the Spaniards know that Luzon Island cannot do without us Ming people!"
When he said this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately. The Spanish were not stupid pigs. Of course, they knew that Luzon could not be without Ming people, but they didn't care. It was simply unrealistic to hope that the butcher put down his butcher's knife.
So, the others began to focus on discussing where they could become their strongholds. In the end, they all had the manors of the rich people among the Ming people outside the city.
Then, people with good eloquence immediately went to lobby, while others did as Zhang Wu said. This night, many people were destined to be sleepless.
Not long after, the barber shop became quiet again. Only Lao Wangtou and Niu Dazhuang were left with Zhang Wu. Of course, they also had apprentices, but they were all scattered in the yard or watching the movement outside.
Suddenly, a sigh sounded, and in this quiet yard, it was particularly harsh.
When Lao Wang heard this, he became nervous and looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Seeing him like this, Zhang Wu smiled bitterly. It seems that Lao Wang's wife and children, two sons and three daughters, had a heavy burden in his heart. He could understand it himself. Without getting married, he would not have so much concern.
"Brother Zhang, let's talk about anything, let's make a decision together!" Niu Dazhuang also had concern on his face and said to Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu looked at the two of them and sighed again, without hiding them, saying, "We are just looking at the destiny of heaven and do our best. You may see if you can find a boat to go out to sea secretly, and at least send your family to a nearby place."
The big ship must be controlled by the Spanish. If the small boat goes to sea, the risk will be higher, and it is probably not much better than staying on Luzon.
When Lao Wang heard what he said, he immediately reached out and grabbed Zhang Wu's arm and asked hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, what do you mean? Is it useless for us to do so much?"
Niu Dazhuang also wanted to ask, but he seemed to think of something, so he frowned and changed his words and said, "If we send someone to contact Liu Dadang, give money and we raise money, do you think they are willing to come and help?"
Speaking of this, he turned around and explained to Lao Wang: "If there are no reinforcements outside, so what if we can hold on, we will be able to hold on. There will always be a day of breakthrough!"
Lao Wang knew that Niu Dazhuang was a military family in the past, and seemed to be a leader. He could not stand the oppression of the superiors and fled to Luzon. He said this, then this would definitely not be false. He immediately became anxious and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we give money. Don't those pirates just want money? How about we raise money?"
"Relying on those pirates?" Zhang Wu heard this, asked back and shook his head, "Don't think that they are Ming people and will protect us. They will not do any business that is a loss-making business. I don't believe it!"
When he finished speaking, his tall apprentice suddenly interrupted and said, "Master, you can ask the court for help!"
"The court? Which court?" Niu Dazhuang immediately sneered at the hearing, "Don't tell me that we are counting on our own court, right? You are young and don't know how many people's hearts were cold when the massacre was that year. Besides, if I escaped, I just can't stand the dirty things in the Ming army. I hope that such a court? Such an army, the sun really came out from the west!"
"No, it's different now than before..." The tall apprentice quickly defended her, but before she could explain, she saw Niu Dazhuang spitting on the ground, turning around, and saying directly to Zhang Wu and Lao Wang: "If you want me to see, you still have to find Liu Dazhuo. This is our way of life!"
Speaking of this, in order to enhance the persuasion, he talked about some things in his memory. This made Lao Wang nodded. They were all from the same generation and almost left the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, both of them decided to lobby against others and raise money to invite Liu Dadang to come to rescue. This matter was also very urgent. Lao Wangtou and Niu Dazhuang couldn't wait to feel it, so they immediately left the barber shop and went to do this matter regardless of the night.
The yard became quiet again. Zhang Wu had been busy for a day and was a little tired, so he went to the Taishi chair and lay down, looking up at the bright moonlight, dazed intently!
His apprentice went to the inner room to get a blanket to cover the master's legs, and muttered: "The current court is different from before. It is said that the emperor is wise and virtuous and caring about the people. He is a wise ruler who has never been seen before!"
He had never said this before. At this time, half of it was actually what he thought about, just to prove that his point of view was correct. After all, when he left the Ming Dynasty, Daming was no longer what Niu Dazhuang described.
To be honest, if Zhang Wu knew it, he was more inclined to Niu Dazhuang's statement, but this morning, his two apprentices had already told him about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. When he heard it again, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart, thinking that he had added a chat group, and that they were all from the Ming Dynasty, why not go in and ask?
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and entered the chat group.
At the beginning, he didn't speak, but just observed for a while and found that the people in the group were all talking about the Ming Dynasty, some of whom were talking about the romanticism, some of whom talked about the new salt method. Whether they could understand the meaning of their words or not, at least one thing he could be sure of, these should be undoubtedly from the Ming Dynasty.
After confirming this, he finally plucked up the courage and interrupted, "Hello, the villain wants to ask, did our Ming Emperor say that those who violate the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away?"
After saying that, he felt something was short and immediately added: "Also, the emperor today also said that our Ming people are outside, and I mean overseas. If they are bullied, will they make decisions for us?"
His words were quickly lost. But after all, someone saw that someone named Wei Mulan immediately replied: "Of course!"
At this time, Wei Mulan was also in Liaodong and fought the Qing Dynasty. Now she was in troubled areas to manage the land, so she didn't have to follow Lu Xiangsheng to fight everywhere like before. Therefore, an entertainment activity at night was to go to the chat group to watch gossip. As a result, Zhang Wu's statement was not noticed by her.
However, Wei Mulan's words were quickly swiped, which made her a little annoyed. She even swiped two messages and said: "Everyone is quiet, if you have important things to say, you will stop chatting!"
Not to mention, her words were very effective, and the main chat group area suddenly became quiet.
When Wei Mulan saw this, she immediately seized the time to speak, "Zhang Wu, what do you mean by saying this? What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Zhang Wu couldn't help but be grateful to Wei Mulan, so he quickly replied: "The villain is seeking life in Luzon, and the Spaniards here seem to want to massacre our Ming people again."
"I wonder again? What does this mean?" Wei Mulan asked hurriedly.
At this time, someone interrupted and said, "What massacre? It's so scary. Could it be that you have a conflict with the Western Barbarians? At worst, you can come back to the Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right, who dares to massacre our Ming people now?" someone said again.
In the same way, it was not just the two of them, but in just a while, there was a tendency to flood the screen again.
When Wei Mulan saw it, she knew something was wrong, so she sent two more messages: "Important, important: Don't talk, listen to his explanation!"
At the same time, she was a little annoyed. Unfortunately, the emperor would have issued a value for his achievements tomorrow. As a result, she had no value for her achievements at this moment, otherwise she would not be disturbed if she had private chatted with this person.
Fortunately, these two messages worked. No one spoke, and gave Zhang Wu another chance. Then Zhang Wu said, "No, in the 35th year of Wanli, the Spanish slaughtered all the Ming people in Luzon, and at least nearly 30,000 Ming people died. Now there are signs again, and the Spaniards wanted to massacre us like the last time. Now there are 30,000 Ming people in Luzon!"
While he was saying this, Emperor Chongzhen was about to go to bed and according to the convention, he was online.
