Chapter 567 The Son of Heaven should uphold justice for the people!

Not long after Lei Weili said this, Daming's warships began to dock.

Louis, the governor of Xiyi Flangji, did not stop him, and he also actively cooperated with preparing a place to stay for the officials of the Ming army.

The admiral Chen Lin also assigned officials such as Liu Yingqiu, a member of the Ministry of Rites, to be responsible for the evacuation of overseas Chinese, announcing to the Chinese that the imperial court was about to send troops to Luzon, and that they would be picked up to avoid infringement by the Western Manila authorities.

As soon as Liu Yingqiu arrived in Manila, wealthy businessman Li Hai led a group of Chinese to stop Liu Yingqiu.

As soon as Li Hai stopped Liu Yingqiu, Li Hai took out a playbook and held it in front of Liu Yingqiu:

"Please transfer the difference to the Son of Heaven. Overseas Han people take a bath. I would like to ask the Son of Heaven to stop fighting and continue to trade, so as not to cause the world to be devastated, increase the number of casualties, increase the crying of the small people all over the world, and greatly damage the morality!"

"I have heard for a long time that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has the ambition of Yao and Shun, and loves the people like his own son. Please also listen to the thoughts of me and other small people. Don't use swords and guns to force the barbarians of the world into bandits, and make the seas and borders restless..."

Liu Yingqiu didn't expect that the first group of Han people he saw when he set foot on the city of Manila turned out to be to dissuade the Ming emperor from raising troops to Luzon.

This made Liu Yingqiu quite embarrassed.

Looking at the officials of the Ming Dynasty who came to welcome Liu Yingjie and other Ming Dynasty officials politely for Wanli's sake, Louis and Lei Weili, who were also monitoring, all smiled secretly when they saw this.

Therefore, Liu Yingqiu's face darkened at this moment, and he asked: "So, you don't want Master Wang to pick you up?"

"Of course I don't want to!"

"We just want to do business here in a down-to-earth manner, support the Han people who have settled here, and ask the imperial court to help them!"

At this moment, Li Hai replied intently, and stole a glance at Liu Yingqiu.

"Please complete the imperial court!"

Many wealthy Chinese businessmen who came with him all followed suit.

Liu Yingqiu said: "When the imperial court recovers this place, it's not that you won't be allowed to continue to do business, but the tax rate will be lowered. Why don't you want to leave?"

"Then we won't leave either! Just stay here."

"Please complete the imperial court!"

Li Hai replied.

After hearing this, Liu Yingqiu asked: "Aren't you worried that they won't retaliate against you because you are Chinese, take your money, or even kill you all on the pretext that you are spies?"

Liu Yingqiu pointed to Louis, Lei Weili and others while asking.

Lei Weili didn't explain much, but just looked at Li Hai.

At this time, Li Hai replied: "It's not that all the fans are ignorant of etiquette. The officials in Manila came here on behalf of the Lord. They came here to spread the gospel and love. They even baptized us for this. They We have always valued virtue, and we are all people who are willing to do our duty and be honest, so naturally we don’t worry that those who were baptized with us will not treat us with kindness and kindness, but will punish us with swords and guns.”

After hearing this, Liu Yingqiu resisted the urge to further persuade these rich Han businessmen, but only took the memorandum and said:

"Your request, this mission will submit it, but don't hold out too much hope."

"Because the Xiyi here already has the heart to destroy our China, and even slaughtered all the natives on Sheliao Island in the Eastern Peng Prefecture, and owed countless lives to my Han people in Huangshan Town, and even killed my officers and soldiers. It is impossible for my emperor to sit back and watch such rebellious bandits exist, if the emperor does not find justice for the dignity of his country and the tragic death of his people, it will be even more detrimental!"

"Lang Erwai is just a merchant, and he is not very clear about political affairs. I don't care about it. But you should think about it carefully. Why would a person who dared to raise a butcher's knife in Dongpeng Mansion not dare to raise a butcher's knife here? ?”

"Isn't the benevolence shown by it a disguise?"

After Liu Yingjie said that, he walked to the surrounding ordinary Chinese businessmen and asked, "Aren't you willing to go back to China?"

"We are willing to follow Master Wang back to the country!"

"They have ordered us to hand over our weapons. Their intention is self-evident. Aren't we just waiting to die if we stay here?"

At this time.

There was a book written by an ordinary Han merchant who was undercover in Jinyiwei, and several Han merchants who were close to him said: "Everyone, it's okay to earn less, and you will earn it back in the future. Now that the imperial court is willing to spend the national money, it will travel thousands of miles. Pick us up, what else can we say, we can’t really bet here that the war won’t affect us, right, it’s better than the imperial court not caring whether we live or die and just shoot as soon as we come?”

"Brother Zhang is right!"

"Let's go back with Master Wang!"

"We are also willing to go back with Master Wang!"

……

For a while, many Chinese businessmen joined in.

Lewis, Lei Deli and others couldn't help but their faces darkened, but they couldn't say anything at this time. After all, they had promised the Ming army to allow these Chinese to leave freely.

But there are also many Chinese who are unwilling to leave, especially those who have been baptized.

Because most of these Chinese are local landlords, and they are also wealthy businessmen, and have a close relationship with local Spanish officials. It can be said that these Chinese are their compradors, and they have great trust in the local Xiyi officials. .

But Liu Yingqiu still wanted to persuade some Chinese to leave out of concern for his compatriots.

For this reason, Liu Yingqiu specially found Huang Kang, the largest wealthy businessman, and asked him: "Is Huang Yuanwai willing to return to China or not?"

Huang Kang, who has a reputation as a student, said with a smile: "Students have long been used to this place, and there are so many industries here, they can't move away for a while, and many people who stay here also rely on me to go. To feed, so I won't go back."

Liu Yingqiu couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Aren't you worried that they won't harm you after we leave? I heard that you also took the initiative to persuade the Chinese to hand in their weapons?"

"What can we do if we don't turn it in? We are the people here, and the people don't fight with the officials."

"As for whether the officials here will harm us because of the imperial court's use of troops, please rest assured. The students have dealt with them for many years and know them well. They will not hurt good people."

Huang Kang replied.

Liu Yingqiu chuckled: "What about Dongpeng Mansion?"

"Well, Da Mingzi doesn't know, isn't it clear that the difference is not clear, how many officials of the imperial court exaggerated their words to cater to the imperial court's preferences, and even framed them?"

Huang Kang asked.

Liu Yingjie suddenly slapped the table and said, "You're making excuses! Pedro and Maquina said it themselves, but you still don't believe it."

"Students dare not believe it!"

"God's anger!"

Huang Kang replied, and then said: "Since the words have come to this point, the students will tell each other frankly, even if things in the future do not go as planned, it will be my own fault. Almost forced us to go."

After hearing this, Liu Yingjie said: "Then you can cooperate with the imperial court to persuade those Chinese who are unwilling to leave to leave. Everyone knows that you, Huang Dashan, have a great reputation here."

"Well, although the student has a bad reputation, how can he force others!"

Huang Kang declined with a smile.
