Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 245 I will never allow foreigners to bully the people of Ming Dynasty
After killing the two red-haired ghosts, Li Daosan and Silly Dazhu lifted the dead heads and raised them high for the common people to watch.Blood still flowed out from under the head, dripping to the ground.

Seeing this situation, the priest Li Leisi changed his face.Song Yingsheng's face was full of worry, and he muttered: "It's a bad thing, there will be big trouble!"

Li Cunming heard Song Yingsheng's words, and said with a smile: "Li Leisi is also a foreigner, he feels the same and is afraid, which is understandable. Governor Song, why are you so worried?"

"Your Majesty..." Song Yingsheng hesitated to speak, glanced at the people, and said in a low voice, "This is not a place to talk, Your Majesty, please move to another place."

"No, I want you to explain it in front of the people! Say it louder!" Li Cunming said decisively.

The emperor became angry, and the people fell silent.

Song Yingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The Portuguese entrenched in Haojingao are very difficult to deal with. Since the Portuguese occupied Haojingao, I have sent troops to conquer many times. During the Zhengde period, Tuenmen In the battle of Xicaowan during the Jiajing period, even though we all won the battle, we were still unable to completely expel the Portuguese, they were as difficult to remove as a dog's skin plaster."

"During the reign of Emperor Tianqi, a more powerful Dutch fleet attacked Haojingao in an attempt to drive out the Portuguese and replace it, but was finally defeated by the Portuguese."

"Your Majesty, the Portuguese have been operating Haojingao for a long time, and it is difficult to surrender and expel them. It is not appropriate to have a feud with them!"

Li Cunming said: "Prefect Song, you know the history of Hongmaoyi occupying Haojingao very well, what you said is the truth. But I want to tell you in front of the people, I will never allow foreigners to bully Damingzi People, whether they are Portuguese or Dutch, if they dare to humiliate our compatriots recklessly, I will treat them as slaves and Tartars and kill them without mercy!"

The words were loud and loud, and the people were deeply affected.

The owner of the noodle stall knelt in front of Li Cunming, mourning and crying: "Your Majesty, Caomin is 62 years old this year, and he has lived a lifetime. I have seen too many things about the red-haired barbarians bullying the people. Your Majesty, you support us ordinary people, Caomin. There is no regret in dying, if His Majesty wants to attack Hao Jing Ao, Cao Min is willing to fight the enemy!"

"I am willing to wait!" the people shouted.

"Song Zhifu, do you see that? This is the hearts of the people!" Li Cunming said, helped the old man up, and said with a smile, "Old man, you can run the noodle stall with peace of mind. Let me and the soldiers do the fighting. Let a 62 How can I have the face to be the king of a country when an old man at the age of [-] goes to the battlefield?"

The old man's daughter wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty, please have a bowl of noodles."

"No, it won't be too late to eat noodles after I subdue Hongmaoyi." After Li Cunming finished speaking, he climbed into the carriage and ordered, "I'm going back home, and I won't go to Foshan for now."

The people watched the emperor's carriage go away, reluctant to leave for a long time, with tears in their eyes.

……

Back in the government office, Li Cunming immediately went to the lobby, and first ordered Gong Yonggu: "Send two capable Jinyi guards to Xin'an County immediately, and call Shi Lang to see me."

Gong Yonggu took the order to leave, Li Cunming looked at Li Leisi and said with a smile: "Please sit down! What happened just now made you frightened, I am sorry."

"However, please put yourself in your shoes and think about it. If people from my Ming Dynasty went to your country, Italy, and bullied men and women to cause harm to one side, how would you deal with it?"

"Naturally, there will be severe punishment." Liles replied, and asked in great surprise, "Your Majesty, how do you know that I am from Italy?"

"Do you know Tang Ruowang? He often mentioned you and An Wensi in front of me, so I have already heard about you." Li Cunming told a white lie.

In fact, Li Cunming read about Li Leisi from history books.

Li Leisi and An Wensi are most famous for having been to Sichuan and Sichuan, and they were highly regarded by Zhang Xianzhong.The two of them left many manuscripts, which are important materials for future generations to study Zhang Xianzhong and the Onishi regime.

Li Lei thought: "So that's how it is, what a great honor! It's a pity that after the Qing soldiers entered Sichuan and Shu, An Wensi was captured and I fled to Guangdong. The north and the south are separated. I don't know when we will meet again."

"Don't be too sad, after I call back to the capital, send someone to inquire about An Wensi's whereabouts." Li Cunming comforted him and changed the subject, "Are you familiar with Du Chen?"

"I've met a few times, and I can still talk."

"I want to send you to Haojingao to pass a message to Du Chen on my behalf. Are you willing to go?"

"willing."

"Okay, the one who works for me is my good friend from the Ming Dynasty!" Li Cunming smiled, and then said seriously, "Take the heads of those two murderers to Du Chen and tell him that the Portuguese are in my land. It’s been rampant in the Internet for too long, it’s time to restrain yourself.”

"I gave Du Chen two options. One is to come to the Guangzhou mansion in person, kneel down in front of me to apologize, and start from the reign of Zhengde, and pay a tax of 1 taels of silver every year; the other is to wait for me to go to the army Suppression, let's meet swords and soldiers!"

Li Leisi gasped secretly, Chongzhen's attitude was so tough, I'm afraid a big battle is inevitable.

"Why, you're embarrassed and dare not go?" Li Cunming stared into Lilesi's eyes.

"I'm a missionary and an Italian. I'm going to pass the message for His Majesty. He, Du Chen, won't embarrass me. Anyway, I'll go to Haojingao right now, and persuade Governor Du Chen with good words." Li Leisi stood up.

Li Cunming got up and cupped his hands: "Bon voyage, I am waiting for the good news!"

Song Yingsheng ordered people to put the red-haired devil's head in two wooden boxes, and sent several officials to accompany Li Leisi as envoys.

After the arrangement was completed, Song Yingsheng came back and replied, "Your Majesty, since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. In my opinion, Du Chen will not give in easily. In the end, he will have to rely on force to conquer. Your Majesty, please make arrangements early."

Li Cunming smiled and said, "I came to Guangzhou just for Haojingao, so you don't have to worry."

Five days later, Shi Lang rushed to Guangzhou Mansion.Li Cunming asked about the situation of the navy, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he beckoned Shi Lang to come to the desk.

"General Shi, I want to attack Haojingao. If you are asked to command this battle, are you sure you will win?"

Shi Langdao: "I am familiar with the situation of Haojingao. I have followed Zheng Zhilong to Haojingao several times. There are less than 800 Portuguese on the island, and there are about [-] of them. They rely on the powerful Artillery and strong fortifications."

"Fortresses and tall fortresses have been built in dangerous places on the island. The navy fleet I am heading towards is close to Haojingao. It is not a problem for soldiers to land ashore. The difficulty is to break through the fortress. When the Dutch attacked Haojingao, We have already attacked the island, and our troops have an absolute advantage, but in the end we still fall short because of the heavy losses from the forts and fortresses."

Li Cunming said: "Unexpectedly, General Shi is so familiar with the situation in Haojingao. I did the right thing by taking you south! The Portuguese only have less than a thousand troops, so what are you afraid of? Every one of my soldiers spits, and they can't do anything." If I can drown them, I will surely win this battle."

"I will go back to Xin'an County right now and discuss with Duke Jingguo about appropriate offensive tactics!" Shi Langfengfeng said in a hurry as he was about to leave.

Li Cunming said: "Wait a minute! I once told you that I went south to Guangdong to find a helper to recover Dongfan Island. This helper is the Portuguese."

Shi Lang was stunned for a moment, didn't he mean to start a war with the Portuguese?Why did they become helpers again? What does the emperor mean?
