Wanli 1592

Chapter 428

It is not without reason that Hughes dared to set up a trap here to intercept Chen Longzheng. He is definitely not a reckless person. Being tough does not mean reckless. In many cases, being tough means having confidence, but also means being cunning and treacherous. Hughes is not such a cunning and treacherous person. Not a politician, but he is definitely not reckless.

This time, Xiao Ruxun was too strong in his work and firmly grasped the lifeblood of the Spaniards. Although they did not dare to confront Xiao Ruxun head-on, they did not think that Xiao Ruxun had the confidence to start a full-scale war. Sanctions, they are likely to do whatever it takes to kill them, and it is not certain what they will do at that time.

However, the Ming court did not order Xiao Ruxun to attack Spain, and was not allowed to provoke disputes in the South China Sea, so Xiao Ruxun did not have the right to take the initiative to attack. Although Xiao Ruxun could kill them, they might not sit still.

This time Xiao Ruxun took away so many Chinese, which greatly shook the Spanish rule in the Philippines, and harmed the interests of the whole of Spain. No Spaniard was willing.

On the surface, I dare not make small moves, because the governor has already succumbed, but the people at the bottom do some small tricks to hide from the governor, and the civilian officials and military officers at the bottom are combined to make small moves. The governor may not know, even if the governor knows, as long as things don’t become big, The governor may not pursue it.

A deeper level of consideration is that Xiao Ruxun may not be willing to completely tear the face off with the Spaniards, leaving one thing today to meet another day, human civilization has such principles, Xiao Ruxun should also understand the necessity of not killing everything, then separate from the Spaniards. It is necessary to get what you want, you get fame and a large part of the benefits, can't I have some soup?

They guessed that what Xiao Ruxun wanted was authority and fame. Getting tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants from the Spaniards meant getting both fame and practical benefits, and your face was guaranteed. Let us have some soup left over, you won’t be so Are you stingy?

Both parties don’t want to make things big, so the next problem will be easy to deal with-the two or 3000 people will be regarded as fish that slipped through the net. You turn a blind eye and leave it to us. We still have The way out, if you really don't leave anything behind, we will have a hard time, and neither will you!
That was probably what it meant. Hughes had a plan in mind, and led his troops to block the only way they had to pass. He saw a group of troops attacking quickly from a distance, and he told the soldiers not to be anxious, not to rush to light the match, and to wait for an agreement between their officers. Make plans after the negotiation results.

Chen Long was full of anger and led troops to Xingshi to question the crime, but he was actually blocked by the Spaniards. This clearly means that the Spaniards were behind the instigation of this matter, and no matter how bad it was, he would turn a blind eye and close his eyes to support it. Now this way of blocking the road should be what they came up with to prevaricate themselves, they just don't want the remaining two or three thousand Chinese to leave and continue to work here for them.

Can Chen Longzheng agree?
Hughes' biggest mistake is to think that the world is as black as crows. All officials, whether they are European officials or Chinese officials, are the same. It is better to have one more thing than one thing less. Just enjoy a comfortable life and let the flood behind him .

Chen Longzheng was absolutely not such an official. Chen Longzheng, who had a strong sense of justice, couldn't hold a grain of sand in his eyes!
"Mr. Li! Tell this person to move away from the roadblock quickly! Leave immediately and don't participate in this matter! This matter is our Ming Dynasty's internal affairs. If he wants to participate, don't blame me for being ruthless with guns in his hands!"

Chen Long raised the exquisite flintlock gun in his hand with a straight face, and he was about to shoot if there was a disagreement, which frightened Matteo Ricci enough - after years of getting along, this person's temperament has been explored by him It's very clear that this is a straight-hearted person who doesn't consider the consequences and only looks at right and wrong when doing things. The key is that Xiao Ruxun indulges his temperament intentionally or unintentionally, and he doesn't know why.

But looking at it now, this kind of person is really suitable for the diplomacy of a big country, especially a big country like Ming that is used to being aloof, and it needs such a person who only sees right and wrong to the point of being unreasonable, so that he can be strong enough.

In addition to the 300 gunmen behind him, these 50 people are all good players in Xiao Ruxun's guard, all of them can shoot, and [-] of them have rifled guns in their hands, which Xiao Ruxun specially equipped for Chen Longzheng in case he suddenly Support him when he wants to do something.

It really came in handy now, if Chen Long encountered injustice, he would definitely make trouble regardless.

It is a disaster for such a person to stay in the country, and it is even more a disaster to be abroad. More than 1000 years ago, there was such a person under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was young and frivolous, and he did things without any scruples. mold.

Later, because this person committed too many crimes in the country, both civilians and officials were scourges, so the civilians and nobles couldn't bear him, and they sued one after another to put pressure on the emperor. Emperor Wu of the Han couldn't bear it, and he really liked him. There was no way, so he threw him on the prairie.

It doesn't matter if this is lost, the unscrupulous Huns on the grassland suddenly fell into bad luck for eight lifetimes, not only that, but also achieved the immortal feat of the Han family for thousands of years - sealing the wolf and living in Xuxu.

That person was Huo Qubing, not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but also full of romantic thoughts after winning the battle.

Of course, Chen Longzheng, who is full of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, is not as lethal as Huo Qubing, and he can't reach the point where Huo Qubing's anger is flowing into rivers. However, when a scholar is angry, it may not be impossible. The unbearable old people can't face it, and it will sting their eyes at a glance.

Xiao Ruxun needed his bookishness, his jealousy, his romanticism, and his idealism. There were many such people in the Ming Dynasty, but almost none of them could persist until Chen Longzheng's age, because they were all overwhelmed by the antiquated official circles. The edges and corners have been smoothed, no longer ideal, no longer romantic.

But Chen Longzheng is different. Under Xiao Ruxun's protection and deliberate connivance, his edges and corners have become brighter and sharper than three years ago. The person in charge wants to try his edge.

But I didn't expect that even Myanmar, which is as clean as a white lotus flower compared to Ming Dynasty, couldn't cope with Chen Longzheng's jealousy. He pulled down three officials in a row. In this case, the three not only lost their own heads, but also their family members.

The other Burmese officials were terrified and trembling three times a night. The small officialdom in Burma shivered under Chen Longzheng's body. In the end, they couldn't take it anymore. Even the family members went out to buy a box of rouge and gouache. Even Xiao Ruxun was a little overwhelmed, just in time for the plan to go to sea, so he kept driving him outside.

He is Hai Rui and Zhidu that Xiao Ruxun deliberately cultivated. Depending on the situation, he may become Chen Tang.

Xiao Ruxun is looking forward to this ideal romanticist.
