Chapter 513: Tu Hua's Past
Outside the city of Fuzhou, all officials from the fifth rank and above in Fujian arrived and welcomed them outside the city.
Generally speaking, as long as a fifth-rank official takes action, at least a few people will beat drums and drums to open the way.
After Hou Xuan came to Fuzhou, he looked down and almost thought he had come to the wrong place.
Hundreds of officials stood there blankly, and were said to have a red silk carpet with colored tables and not even a banner.
Hou Xuanyan turned black and cursed, "The rich man in Fujian is known to everyone in the world. It is so shabby that he clearly doesn't take me seriously."
The officials who accompanied him secretly complained, and if they were too arrogant, they would be scolded. Even the caring elixir could not bear to listen to the thoughtful elixir and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is what Your Majesty has always been, which made them misunderstand."
Hou Xuanyan glared at her fiercely, then walked off the dragon boat. Fuzhou was built along the sea. The suburbs of the city themselves are ports, which is very convenient.
Fujian governor Zeng Hengying led Fujian civil and military officials to bow down together, and Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and said, "Let's calm."
Looking at the rows of kneeling officials, Hou Xuanyan thought to himself that it was time to simplify the etiquette.
He took the imperial concubine to board the carriage. Although the car was not luxurious, it was very comfortable and spacious. After sitting down, Hou Xuanyan lifted the curtain. The whole city outside was full of people who wanted to see the dragon face. Hou Xuanyan simply rolled up the curtain.
He came in Fuzhou several times, but he came as a hostile person. Now it’s different. It’s time to accept the cheers of the people of Fujian.
There were more than a hundred people in the crowd, crowded in front. The leader saw the emperor's car curtain rolling open and turned around and said, "This God helps me. If you miss this opportunity, you will not be able to take revenge again!"
They stood up behind them to respond, and after Hou Xuanyan came over, they knelt down on the ground and shouted injustice in unison.
The sudden movement made Qin He very nervous and led a team of guards to protect the emperor's chariot.
Hou Xuanyan frowned and cautiously did not walk out of the carriage, but pushed Yang Fujin to a corner of the carriage. Then, under the escort of the guards, he walked out.
"Who is calling for justice?"
At this time, the guards had already controlled all the people who were calling for justice. After searching for safety, they reported to Hou Xuanyan, and there was no danger.
"Your Majesty is a group of Fujian villagers."
"Oh?" Hou Xuanyan felt relieved. It would be better if he was not an assassin. Since he was a villager calling for justice, he would have to deal with it no matter what.
Hou Xuanyan said loudly, "The people must have deep grievances when they stop the saint's carriage, otherwise they will have the courage to come in. Let me explain clearly. I will try the first time today."
Hou Xuanyan's voice was loud, and the people around him burst into cheers. This was a rare scene for them. The people kneeling on the ground were even more excited, and the revenge was hoped for!
Everyone recommended the old man in gray robe who was the first to come forward. Hou Xuanyan saw that he had gray hair and a flowing robe. Although his hair was white, he was not messy at all. He was calm on his face, so he said, "Bring a stool for this father-in-law."
The old man had seen a big scene at first sight. Although he was facing the emperor of the dynasty, he still behaved calmly. He heard that the emperor gave him a seat and showed a flattering expression and knelt down and said, "The people of the grass dare not."
"I don't do anything else, I just respect you for your older age."
"The grass people thanked my emperor."
The old man squatted on a stool, put his hands in his hands and looked solemn, slowly telling a history of blood and tears.
During the Wanli period, more and more people went out to sea to do business due to poor land in Fujian.
At that time, the Spanish occupied Luzon Island, built the city of Manila, and started the colonial model.
These people plundered endless gold and silver from South America and transported them to Luzon Island. They went to the Ming Dynasty to exchange for silk and porcelain and other items, making a lot of money.
Of course, the Chinese in the middle also made a lot of money, but the Spaniards had no choice. The Ming Dynasty did not allow them to make large-scale purchases, and their navy could not defeat the Ming navy.
Later, the three major battles of Wanli spent all the money in the treasury. Due to financial constraints, Wanli, who had always been smart, made a small plan.
He heard that there was a lot of gold and silver on Luzon, but he didn't know where it came from, so he wanted to help this former little brother get rid of colonial rule and make a fuck by himself.
Of course, before this idea was implemented, it was criticized by civil servants. Wanli was so upset that it was left alone.
But for some reason, this news actually reached the Spanish. In addition, the Chinese on Luzon did not obey colonial management and often caused trouble. So the Spanish simply did not do anything, inciting local indigenous monkeys, and launched an inhumane anti-Chinese massacre. People on Luzon believed in Islam, were wild and bloodthirsty by nature, and especially hated Chinese.
On a mere Luzon Island, 20,000 Chinese were slaughtered, and the blood stained the hot and busy island red. The wailing spread to the Central Plains continent and even to the Forbidden City in Beijing.
This incident reached the court. Emperor Wanli was furious and immediately yelled in the court, " "I deceived the court and provoked overseas, causing 20,000 merchants to behead and humiliate the country, and died for more than 10,000 merchants and civilians to behead and circulate the crimes."
Emperor Wanli rolled up his sleeves and prepared to avenge the people, but the civil servants at that time made shocking remarks again.
They said, "The four Chinese people are the cheapest, and they will not regret it if they use untouchables to launch wars and revolution.
These bastard remarks were recognized by high-ranking officials in the hall. Everyone pretended to be invisible and continued to intrigue in the officialdom, went to brothels to visit prostitutes and enjoyed a life of wealth and debauchery. The four people far away in Luzon became abandoned children in this way. Seeing the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards and the natives became even more unscrupulous.
This time, the Spanish and indigenous monkeys in Luzon saw the Chinese's ability to make money. After they killed them, they found out how much money these Chinese were hiding in their homes was simply something they could not imagine.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty went south, countless Chinese who were unwilling to be slaves of the country fled to Luzon. They raised them like pigs in Spain for several years, and finally showed their fangs ten years ago.
Ten years ago, the Central Plains was covered in fishy smell. When Hou Xuanyan was busy fighting with the Qing Dynasty, a wave of massacre of Chinese people arose on Luzon Island. This time more people died and richer.
When the old man said this, the tears in his eyes were covered in blood and he started to cry loudly.
"They chased us Chinese all over the streets, cut off our limbs with a knife, threw them into the fire for fun. They scalded the baby to death with boiling water, and raped our wife and daughter on the street! They cut off my son's tendons, blinded their eyes, cut off his tongue, and hung him under the big locust tree next to the square. When they thought of it, they stabbed him with a sword, cut him with a knife, and burned with the burnt iron firewood tip, and tortured him for a few days before tortured him to death.
They nailed my daughter-in-law's hands and feet on the wooden board with wooden nails, pierced the bamboo through my daughter-in-law's body, and cut off her. She also had my unborn grandson in her belly, and she would give birth in four months. My granddaughter was only nine years old!
Your Majesty! Please make the decision for us! What crimes have we committed when we were born into a beautiful place? What crimes have we committed."
Hou Xuanyan's face appeared, his fists clenched, and he looked at everything in front of him coldly. It seemed that the world was still. There was no one talking on the huge street, leaving only the old man's crying. Even the ignorant children were infected by the atmosphere and dared not cry.
Everyone's heart was extremely depressed, as if his heart was hit hard by a big stone. Yang Fujin's cheeks were already in tears, and she was lying in the carriage and sobbing in a low voice. Even the spiritual medicine was red and swollen.
Hou Xuanyan stood up, and everyone's eyes looked at him. He was already on the chariot, one position higher than everyone else, and was even more upright at this time.
The eyes of the soldiers flashed. In a trance, what seemed to be no longer the Emperor's Majesty who laughed and scolded, but the former commander of the Fourth Battalion of the Northern Expedition, the commander of the Northern Expedition, the commander of the Huiyi Army, and the commander of the Han Dynasty, who wiped out the Tartars.
