The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 13
Hearing the commotion outside, Li Guangyuan cried out in his heart, knowing that it was time for him to appear.

He opened his mouth and said to many miners in the shack.

"Have you heard everything?"

"Did I lie to you?"

"I've said it all. My Brother Yu is the Empress of the Great Ming Taizu. It's fine if Master Shi doesn't know. If you know, how dare you disrespect him?"

"My Brother Yu has received an order from Lord Hongwu, and in the future, we will drive out the Tartars, restore China, and rebuild Ming Dynasty!"

"I don't tell the average person about this!"

Li Guangyuan said proudly.

Just at this moment, Zhu Hongyu opened the curtain of the shack and walked in, glared at Li Guangyuan and said.

"Guangyuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you talking about everything?"

Seeing this, Li Guangyuan quickly got up from the hay, arranged a relatively clean place for Zhu Hongyu, and let Zhu Hongyu sit down.

Then he apologized.

"Brother Yu, I was wrong, I shouldn't be talking nonsense!"

After apologizing to Zhu Hongyu, he turned around and said to the many miners in the shack.

"Everyone, I was talking nonsense just now, everyone must not take it seriously!"

After all, he pretended to apologize to the surroundings.

The miners looked at each other, the more Li Guangyuan denied it now, the more convinced they were that what Li Guangyuan just said was true.

Almost everyone began to have some sprouts in their hearts...

Is Daming really going to be revived?

Do I want to go to Zhu Hongyu's place now to brush up my sense of presence, so that I can be a hero for the restoration of Ming Dynasty in the future...

……

It was late at night, and the shack became quiet again, but the miners in the shack had their own thoughts and did not fall asleep.

Zhu Hongyu fell into a deep sleep, and began to mutter in his sleep.

"Northern...Northern Expedition!"

"Eliminate...the Tartars, restore...China!"

"Fuming..."

"..."

Those miners who secretly paid attention to Zhu Hongyu heard his sleep talk, and each of them had different expressions.

Li Guangyuan poked the person not far away from him, and said in a low voice.

"Go outside with me, I have something to tell you!"

"..."

……

On the second day, Zhu Hongyu woke up and opened his eyes. Everyone in the entire shack knelt down in front of him.

Li Guangyuan took the lead and said.

"Brother Yu, accept the brothers!"

"Brothers are not willing to continue to live in this mine and live a life that is worse than death. Brothers all want to follow you to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and you will not regret life or death!"

After finishing speaking, Li Guangyuan knocked his forehead heavily on the ground.

The same is true for all the miners, as if they had rehearsed, their foreheads touched the ground, and they said in unison.

"Fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, life and death will not regret it!"

"Fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, life and death will not regret it!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu and Li Guangyuan looked at each other, Zhu Hongyu showed an expression of approval on his face, and then he spoke to the miners.

"What you say is true?"

All the miners said one after another.

"Master Zhu, please accept me!"

"I don't want to continue to be squeezed by the red hair anymore, and live a life that would be worse than death!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded vigorously.

"Since you brothers have believed in me and entrusted your life to me, from today on, Zhu and you brothers are brothers in life and death."

"Same life and death, share wealth and honor!"

All the miners responded in unison.

"Same life and death, share wealth and honor!"

"Same life and death, share wealth and honor!"

"..."

……

Everyone left the shack together, and then went to work in the mine.

After a morning's work, a group of miners gathered for a meal and rest. Shi Yongxin walked over, gave Zhu Hongyu a look, and then quickly walked towards another group of people.

Zhu Hongyu followed, and the two walked side by side, Zhu Hongyu asked.

"Didn't you get caught by the supervisor?"

Shi Yongxin shook his head.

"No, the supervisors have also gone to eat. Now is the time when the supervisors are the fewest. I can't wait for you."

Zhu Hongyu nodded and asked again.

"Is your son feeling better?"

Shi Yongxin showed gratitude and said.

"After eating some garlic, my son's condition is much better! Although he is still laxative, he is much more energetic."

Zhu Hongyu nodded.

"That's good!"

The two came to the crowd, and Shi Yongxin introduced Zhu Hongyu.

"Master Zhu, this is Brother Liu Shantai Liu."

"This is Brother Hu Dinggao!"

"This is Brother Wang Youcai!"

"These brothers were brought in by these two brothers."

Standing in front of Zhu Hongyu were three tall and strong men.

In other words, almost everyone in the mine is quite strong, but this kind of strength is false, and it is all strength squeezed out by high-intensity labor.

Because there is not enough food and insufficient oil and water, it is useless to look strong now. At most two or three years, people will be completely useless.

Most of these miserable miners will not live to be 30 years old!
It can be seen how hard the Spaniards squeezed the miners.

Shi Yongxin introduced Zhu Hongyu to the three of them.

"This is Master Zhu, the eldest son of the King of Chu's line after the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Shantai questioned.

"Brother Shi, are you sure this kid is not lying to us?"

Hu Dinggao frowned with thick eyebrows, also doubtful.

"Boy, are you really the Empress Taizu? Can you really lead us to resist successfully?"

Wang Youcai also spoke.

"That's right, if you want to start a riot, you're going to risk your life. You can't talk empty words without any evidence, so we all have to fight with your lives?"

Zhu Hongyu was not annoyed, and answered.

"You all know about Brother Shi's son's illness, right?"

The three nodded, Wang Youcai nodded to Shi Yongxin and said.

"There is no law to cure dysentery in Manila, my condolences to Brother Shi!"

Zhu Hongyu said.

"After using the prescription I gave, Brother Shi's son is much better now!"

"That prescription is the one in the palace!"

The three believed a little, but Hu Dinggao still said.

"But this doesn't prove anything, maybe where did you find the folk remedy?"

Zhu Hongyu showed a mocking expression.

"I won't force you!"

"Trust me, just follow me!"

"I promise that I will not treat my brothers badly in the future. If it can be done, I will be blessed and suffer together!"

"Those who don't believe me can continue to wait to die in the mine, waiting for their value to be drained, and then rotten to death in the mine worthless."

"You can bet how long you can survive under the torment of fatigue and mine supervisors!"

"Or, you can also pray, pray that one day the red hair will show kindness, give you freedom, and let you go home!"

"What the hell are you talking about with me?"

"We have all been caught in this mine. Apart from resisting, is there any other choice?"

All three of them looked ugly at what Zhu Hongyu said, but they couldn't refute it.

Because they knew that what Zhu Hongyu said was true.

The three looked at each other, then clasped their fists at Zhu Hongyu and said.

"Master Zhu, brothers fucked with you!"

Zhu Hongyu's face softened, and he spoke in a very sincere tone.

"From today onwards, you and I are brothers in life and death!"

"In the future, brothers, if I can uphold Taizu's legacy, drive out the Tartars, restore China, and rebuild Ming Dynasty, brothers will all be heroes for the founding of the country!"

"I promise to give my brothers the wealth and glory of being princes for generations and resting with the country!"
