1193 Crisis and Opportunity
Temasek, which is later Singapore, was controlled by Liu Xiang Group during this period. Juyitang in the city walled city gathered many people. It can be said that almost all the leaders of Liu Xiang Pirate Group are here.
At this time, the atmosphere in Juyi Hall was very serious, or a little heavy. At least one can be seen from the expressions of these people in the hall.
These big and small leaders are listening to the spies' rewards.
"The Mughal Empire in the west of Dongwu sent troops to attack the Tang Kingdom, but as soon as it entered the territory of Tang Kingdom, it was killed and wiped out. The Ming army also took the opportunity to counterattack and seized almost twice the territory of the Tang Kingdom." The spy said with a shock, "I heard from the locals that the Ming army was very powerful and invincible. Even the great Shah Jahan was afraid. The country was lost, but he did not dare to ask the Ming Dynasty for it..."
His news was basically true, but it was much more exaggerated than the actual content. It was not that he deliberately scared these big and small leaders, but that when he heard it, he no longer knew which news it was. Originally, Bangladesh was very panicked and there were already exaggerated statements. After several retellings, the degree of exaggeration was not surprising.
It would be strange if they heard such news and the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Xiang and others were in a good mood. Even if they knew that the news had exaggerated elements, it would still make Liu Xiang and the others feel particularly heavy!
After the spy finished talking about the Mughal Empire, he began to talk about the matter in the east: "The army united by Ruan Phoenix Nguyen and the Western Barbarians was afraid of being beaten by the Ming army. Later, he did not dare to fight with the Ming army at all, but just fled. However, their combat power was still very strong. At least they fought against the Nanzhang and the Angkor Dynasty, which was like a devastating Gula, without any effort."
"When the villain came back, he had heard that the coalition forces had fled to the southernmost seaside, and had no place to escape. Finally, he was forced to kill each other. The Annan people killed all the Folang Ji people and surrendered to the Ming army."
Hearing this, a pirate leader breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, they did not continue to flee south, otherwise we would have escaped all the way to Temasek. The imperial army might keep chasing us, so it would be a big trouble!"
He was relieved, but when Liu Xiang heard this, his brows frowned even more. The court issued a wanted notice to them, and that must be wiped out. Even if he did not chase the Annan people to Temasek this time, he might not be able to do it, so he took the initiative to send troops to call Temasek along the coastline. What should he do if he did?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a move in his heart, and immediately leaned forward, stared at the spies and asked, "What's the result of those Annan people surrendering to the Ming army? How did the Ming army settle them?"
Hearing this, the leaders of the Juyi Hall were almost all excited, just like Liu Xiang, staring at the spies, wondering how the court dealt with these surrendered Annan people?
To be honest, listening to the news of the power of the Ming Dynasty, they were a little panicked. They have now escaped to Nanyang. If the Ming Dynasty becomes stronger, there is a great possibility of chasing Temasek!
If the Annan people surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, if the court was let go, let alone the others, even Liu Xiang, they would be a little moved. Do you want to surrender to the court? Otherwise, they are worried all day long, afraid that the court's navy will appear in Temasek. If the red barbarians can unite to deal with the court, that would be fine, but the key is that the red barbarians will not shed tears without seeing the coffin, and they don't think the court can pose a threat to them at all!
It is precisely because they are very concerned about the final outcome of the Annan people.
"I heard that Nguyen Phucyuan surrendered to the court with the head of the Folang Jiren and countless gold, silver and jewelry!" The spy said this and found that the leaders heard more carefully, and then his voice became a little louder and continued, "However, Nguyen Phucyuan and some of the leaders were still punished by Ming Zhengdian. Their subordinates were taken to build roads. It is said that the road construction is very dangerous, and death is common!"
After he finished speaking, the Juyi Hall was very quiet. He could see that many leaders showed disappointment on their faces.
Liang Xiaozhen also noticed it, but his eyes turned, but he scolded the spy and said, "Don't always hear it, is this news true?"
When the other leaders heard this, they were immediately excited, just like a dying person, who suddenly turned back and asked about the spy.
"Damn, you sent you to find out the news. Why are you hearing and hearing? Is there any real news?"
"The Annan people sold all the Folang Ji people and returned them to countless gold, silver and jewelry. How could the court still be so heartless? Are you mistaken?"
“…”
When the spy heard this, he became anxious and quickly replied: "It is impossible for a villain to go back to the country to verify these news. But the villain promised that these news are all true."
The transportation in this era is so bad that it is impossible to have to verify everything personally. Liu Xiang understood this in his heart, so he did not pursue this aspect, but frowned and asked a little annoyed: "What else is there?"
With his question, the news of the spy was basically concluded. This disappointed the other leaders. It seemed that it was useless to surrender to the court.
In fact, it was not just them. At this moment, even Liu Xiang had the idea. If he could, he would give some of the property he had snatched over the years to the court and exchange it for peace. It would be a good way out. It was a pity that there was no such cheap thing!
They each thought about their own thoughts, and the spy replied to Liu Xiang: "The villain also heard a news that the original places of Nanzhang and Angkor seemed to be enfeoffed as vassal kings. It is said that the possibility is at least 80%!"
Speaking of this, the spy finally finished the news that he inquired about, and then he waited for the head of the inquiry.
But in Juyi Hall, the pirate leaders of all sizes had no intention of speaking. They all had gloomy faces, either lowered their heads and thought about something, or turned to look at the boss, wanting to hear what Liu Xiang thought.
However, Liu Xiang kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking, so he had no intention of speaking at all. However, it was obvious from his face that he would never be in a good mood.
"The boss, this situation seems to be getting worse and worse for us!" Liang Xiaozhen, the third boss, spoke first to break the tranquility in Juyi Hall and said to Liu Xiang, "There are more and more Ming troops in Luzon, and the news has been confirmed that it is to come to Feng Yi. In this way, Luzon will be the place of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Now Angkor and Annan are also vassal states, and Nanyang is not safe!"
After hearing this, Liu Xiang looked up at him, looking worried. Suddenly, he sighed and said a little annoyed: "What the hell is the emperor today? Just like the previous emperor, isn't it good to just care about the country?"
"I heard that the emperor is wise and powerful, and has put down Jianlu." Liang Xiaozhen also looked worried, but she must have been wrong in her heart. She continued to talk about the fact that these pirates didn't want to remember, "There is nothing in the north, and it seems reasonable to turn to the south."
"Isn't there any Mongolia in the north? Isn't the emperor afraid of the Mongolians rebelling?" A pirate leader couldn't help but interrupt.
Although they are all from the south, they have also heard of the Mongols on the northern grasslands. At least the demise of the Central Plains dynasty was almost done by the nations on the grasslands. Over the years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have always had countless grudges and grudges with the Mongols.
"Yes, that dog emperor is so full." Another pirate leader also responded angrily, "It's a place so far away in Southeast Asia that I stretched out my hand. With this leisure, it's better to spend more time on the grassland and prevent those Mongolians from taking advantage of them!"
Hearing this, seeing several leaders nodding, the spy standing hesitated for a moment and said, "The villain has also heard that the country has just been pardoned and celebrated with the country! Say yes..."
"Have you established a prince? Or is there another woman who gave birth to a dog emperor?" Some leader was impatient and interrupted him, "It's all our business!"
If you don’t give me a helping hand, you can swear to the emperor, right? Anyway, I’m in a bad mood!
"No, it was not a crown prince, nor a puppy!" When the spy heard this, he quickly replied, "I heard that the imperial army went deep into the north of the Mohe, and brought down all the Mongols' nests. Then he returned to the Tianshan Mountains and wiped out the Khalkha tribes. What else is there in the Weilath Mongolia surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and becoming a minister of the Ming Dynasty. The court also had to set up a province in Mohebei, a new province, or something. Anyway, it means that the grassland, regardless of southeast, northwest, had been all pacified by the Ming Dynasty, and there would be no Mongol disaster like before!"
"..." The pirate leaders of all sizes in Juyi Hall all looked up at the spies, shocked, and even Mongolia could pacify?
In their thoughts, the grassland is like the sea, boundless. The court can solve a pirate, but it is impossible to eliminate all pirates. The same principle is the same for the grassland. But unexpectedly, the problem of the Mongols that had never been solved was solved by the current emperor? This is something that no emperor has ever solved in all dynasties!
If this is the case, it is no wonder that the court began to reach out to Nanyang. The emperor is really idle!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiang and other pirate leaders looked even more ugly. They were incredible how bad their mood was.
However, Liang Xiaozhen still had to sprinkle salt into their wounds. He spoke again and broke the silence and said to Liu Xiang: "There are so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that they will be sealed outside in this way. There are only so many places in Nanyang, so why should they be sealed to the vassal kings?"
When he heard this, the pirate leaders of all sizes in Juyi Hall almost showed despair on their faces. If this is the case, the court will sooner or later send a large army to wipe out their people!
Can you beat the Ming Dynasty? If this is the case, why would you run to Southeast Asia thousands of miles away? Now that you have escaped so far, where can you escape? If you run away again, you will be getting farther and farther away from the root!
In Juyi Hall, there were so many sad clouds, and a large number of pirates were worried about their future!
After a while, Liu Xiang suddenly thought of something and pointed at Liang Xiaozhen and said, "You just said that all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty would be enfeoffed to Nanyang, right?"
He suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. But no one understands what the boss asked about this?
Liang Xiaozhen was no exception. He was a little confused about Liu Xiang's meaning, so he replied carefully: "I guess this is also the leader. Look, Luzon has been granted King Yi, Dongwu has been granted King Tang, Annan has been granted King Fu, and now Nanzhang, Angkor has been granted the title of the vassal king again. Judging from this situation, isn't it just that I want to confer all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, don't you think?"
Liu Xiang seemed a little excited when she heard this. She stood up from her seat, rubbed her hands, paced back and forth for a few times, then stood still and said to Liang Xiaozhen: "I think you're right, yes, you're definitely right."
Speaking of this, he turned to glance at the people in Juyi Hall and said to them: "The Ming Dynasty must have sealed out all the vassal kings, and there is no doubt about this. Everyone must admit this. When they go out in the future, if others ask, they must tell this fact!"
"Master, what do you mean?" Some leader didn't understand. Judging from the meaning of Master, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty had sealed all the vassal kings. He was still very happy and happy!
Seeing everyone staring at him, Liu Xiang felt that his IQ was still above everyone else, so he explained with a hint of excitement: "It is clear that the Ming Dynasty wants to enfeoff so many vassal kings to Nanyang, so it must occupy the territory of Nanyang? Now these territory are all masters! Since this is the case, can we unite and resist the court together?"
Hearing this, all the pirates' eyes lit up. Yes! We must tell this. In this way, whether it is the monkeys in South China or the Western Barbarians, they will definitely not be willing to accept it. When the time comes, will everyone join forces together and will they have the strength to fight against the court?
Thinking of this, some pirate leaders also shouted: "In the Luzon side, the Ming army was massacring and arresting those monkeys. We can also talk about this matter everywhere, just say that the court wants to kill all the monkeys!"
Before this, they had actually heard about Luzon. At that time, they felt that those monkeys could slaughter the Guangming people, but now the Ming people are strong, so it is not normal to slaughter them in turn.
However, at this moment, they stopped watching this. They shouted one by one, as if they were crying for the monkeys in Luzon.
