703 The news is coming
The walls of Hao Jingao have long been demolished. At the official road leading to Hao Jingao, locals often see several missionaries wandering there.
If it were the past, others might not know what they were doing? But now, after the Xiangshan County Magistrate escorted two Folang Ji people over, they already knew what was going on. The demolition of the wall also represents Folang Ji people's attitude.
This makes it easy to understand that the people of Folang Ji are waiting for the verdict of the Ming Emperor. The main force is to establish good relations with the Ming Dynasty. The missionaries who want to stay in the Ming Dynasty are even more worried about the outcome of the verdict!
There is a saying that is really right, waiting is the most painful!
During this waiting time, the atmosphere in Hao Jingao was obviously a little heavier. For the people of Folang Ji who had lived here for a long time, they definitely didn't want to leave. Only the newly arrived Macau Governor Du Chen, who was obviously a little indifferent. If the Macau Council and the missionaries had not joined forces to force him, he would not even agree to tear down the wall.
However, based on his attitude, during this waiting time, Johnson and other people from the Macau Council, as well as missionaries such as Johnson took turns to tell him about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the benefits of friendship with the Ming Dynasty, and what would happen if he offended the Ming Dynasty, etc. In the end, they even vaguely threatened him that if he dared to mess up the matter, his responsibility would definitely make him go back to jail.
Later, Du Chen could not withstand this pressure. Not only did he agree to the demolition of the Haojingao wall, but he was also worried about how the Ming Emperor would pronounce the verdict.
On this day, Johnson saw that Joshua Tsang looked at the intersection again, and sighed and walked over to Joshua Tsang, "The Ming Empire is too large, and there is no reply so quickly. Moreover, the Ming Emperor is now in charge of Dongwu's side, so he might be delayed until next year."
After hearing this, Chau Wang nodded.
After all, Togo is a country, and it is also considered powerful. Portugal had thought of colonizing that country before, but he was driven out of Togo, and even the governor was hung by Togo King. The Ming emperor had never been to the south, let alone Togo. Whether or not he could conquer Togo was a question. Maybe he had no time to take care of the Hokkien's side, right?
Though thinking about this, Johnson said to Johnson: "It's nothing wrong anyway, it's the same here. No matter what, the scenery here is nice, right?"
After hearing this, Johnson looked around and didn't feel that there was anything good to see. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Joshua Chan say to him again: "You sent someone to find out about the news in Guangzhou City. I wonder when you will be back?"
Missionaries were forbidden from leaving Haojingao, but ordinary Florians did not have this restriction. Some wise people were hired by these Florians to do their jobs. Therefore, Johnson had the ability to send people to inquire about the news.
At this time, after hearing the question from Johnson Tang, Johnson thought for a moment: "I'm afraid there will be no news in a short time. I have told me that if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty responded, I will come back in advance to report the message. In this way, we can be prepared, right?"
As he was talking about this, he saw a fast horse galloping at the end of the official road.
Those who come from this official road can only go to Haojingao and go further forward, which is the sea. Generally speaking, there will never be a fast horse galloping. If you are in such a hurry to come back, you must be the person who went to Guangzhou City to find out the news.
When he came to this conclusion, he was shocked and a puzzle flashed through his mind: Why is it so fast? From the perspective of time, it shouldn't be?
Chau Wang also heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. After turning his head to look, he remained motionless, just keeping crosses on his chest.
The rapid sound of horse hooves also alarmed the people in Hao Jingao, and many people rushed out to see the situation. Even Du Chen ran out to see the situation.
By the time he came out, the knight was already very close to Hao Jingao. He was no one else, but a Ming person sent by Johnson. A Ming person who was familiar with the words of Folang.
Everyone saw it clearly, and the man's face was full of shock. This made Johnson Chan and Johnson and others unable to tell the difference. Is it good news or bad news to bring it back?
"Ying" When the horse reached the intersection, it was stopped by the Ming people and neighed in pain.
However, the Ming man didn't care at all. He immediately turned over and got off the horse and walked quickly to Johnson. However, before he could speak, Johnson beside him could not wait and asked quickly, "Is there any news about the Emperor of Ming?"
When the Mingren heard this, he turned to look at Tang Ruowang. He nodded and before he could answer, he heard Johnson ask anxiously, "What should we do with our Hao Jingao?"
The wise man was speechless, but at least he understood that Johnson was his patron, so he turned back and looked at Johnson and replied: "It's just that there is news from the emperor, but I don't know the emperor's will to Hao Jing'ao."
When they heard this, all the people who were in love breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were a little curious about what news was from the Emperor of Ming that made him so anxious, and he looked shocked.
In particular, Du Chen, who was even more malicious, asked: "Can it be that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty conquered Donggo, suffered a great defeat and was mobilizing troops everywhere, or was it surrounded by Donggo's army or..."
After all, there were many Ming people around the Ming Dynasty. Du Chen was not so mentally retarded that he said directly, was your emperor killed by Dongwu? However, although he did not say it, the meaning was actually very obvious.
Before, of course they had inquired about it and knew that the Ming emperor had only about 30,000 troops to conquer Dongwu. It was reasonable for Du Chen to guess this. After all, even the Portuguese governor was hanged by Dongwu.
At this time, when the people around him heard what he said, they were all surprised. After coming to their senses, they had mixed reactions.
The wise men in this were all worried expressions. After all, the emperor now loves the people as much as his son. Even if they don’t have much benefit here, they have always heard of the situation. For them, they definitely don’t want something to happen to the emperor.
And those Folang Ji people all showed gloating expressions, making you embarrassed us, right?
Although they had different ideas in their hearts, they were all looking at the person who reported the news and waiting for his answer.
After hearing this news, Mingren unexpectedly showed a disdain to the governor of Macau, which had never happened before. Then, he saw the Mingren turn to look at Johnson and said loudly in a proud tone: "The Emperor defeated King Dongwu a month ago! In Awa's battle, 30,000 troops defeated 300,000 troops in one fell swoop. King Dongwu was shot and killed on the spot, and the captured Dongwu army exceeded 200,000 soldiers. Now there is no Dongwu country. My Ming Dynasty has one more Dongwu saving!"
Du Chen was originally angry at the disdainful expression of this Ming-man hiring, but he was about to get angry when he heard his next words. All the anger that soared into the sky disappeared without a trace, and instead he was shocked.
Not only him, but everyone else, such as Johnson Chan and Johnson, was the same. There was nothing else except shock.
If they had no personal experience of how powerful these southerners, or the Portuguese, were they at the cost of a governor, they had felt the power of Togo at the cost of a governor. And because Togo was on their way to the Far East, they had been paying attention to Togo's situation.
They knew that after their king's rest and recuperation strategy, Togo is much stronger than Togo when he defeated them.
But even so, he was defeated by the Ming Emperor in a very short time and with very little force. He also became a province of the Ming Dynasty?
If calculated in this way, then European countries are probably just as big as the Ming Dynasty’s province! And how many Ming Dynasty has it now?
Du Chen was the first to come back to his senses. He didn't believe it at all, so he was the first to question: "You oriental, your emperor's record must be exaggerated, otherwise, this would be impossible!"
That's right, what the Ming people who reported the news said to them was not exactly the same as the facts. At least in the number of people in Dongwu's army, there was something different from what they were. But no matter how different they were, it wasn't much different. And this was not his exaggeration, but what he heard was the news, and he just reposted it.
When he heard Du Chen questioning him, he saw that he had no respect for these customers before. He immediately turned red and said loudly: "I'm not exaggerating. This is the news I bought from the Guangzhou Government Office with money. If you really think it's exaggerating, you can go to Guangzhou City by yourself to listen to it. That's exaggerating!"
The other Ming people watching were also quite excited at this time. No matter how much the reactions of these Folang Ji people were, someone asked excitedly: "Tell me quickly, what other rumors are there?"
The strength of one's own country is, even if there is no concept of a country or nation at this time, it will still be a natural joy.
The Mingren who reported the news did not refuse when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Now the city of Guangzhou is spreading, saying that the emperor has appointed a history, and he shot Dongwu's war elephant in front of the two armies. Do you know the war elephant? It is several times larger than a cow, and it is so skinny, harder than iron. But what's the use? Let me tell you, it's simply a magic arrow. If you don't shoot anywhere else, you can shoot the eye sockets of the war elephant..."
Listening to these Ming people talking excitedly, all the Portuguese looked a little ugly and could not speak.
