Chapter 331 Humiliating Confucian scholars, do you really want to be slaves?

Zhang Gui frowned after hearing this: "Three thousand Han people?"

Liu Zongmin nodded and replied: "The problem is that Tianjin is very close to the capital. These red-haired people are obviously a serious provocation to our Ming Dynasty's national prestige!"

"It's quite hypocritical. They have done so few immoral things themselves? They actually say they want to uphold justice for the natives of Southeast Asia."

Zhang Gui slapped the table as he spoke: "What a shame, the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is too long, and it is easy for these Western barbarians who are wandering on the sea to take advantage of it!"

"What I'm saying is that the sea area is too long. It's really hard to guarantee that these Western pirates won't seize the opportunity to plunder our sea area."

Liu Zongmin replied.

"I will go to the palace and inform His Majesty of this matter. You tell the departments under the Xichang to investigate who gave the Hong Mao Fan the convenience to smuggle into Tianjin!"

Zhang Gui then gave instructions.

"yes!"

Soon after, Emperor Tianqi also learned from Zhang Gui about Hong Mao Fan's behavior of provoking his own Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Hong Mao Fan is currently the most arrogant Xiyi pirates. The Folangji people are now being bullied by them. Now that they dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally give this dynasty a serious threat to plunder the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty.

reasons related to interests.”

Zhang Gui also explained the situation of Hong Mao Fan to Tian Qi.

Today, the Ming Dynasty has accepted the concept of the earth, and at the same time, it has also accepted the concept of "global".

Therefore, Zhang Gui can directly mention the word "global" in front of Tianqi, and Tianqi can directly understand what he means.

Tianqi even knew the location and size of Hongmaofan's country through the "Comprehensive Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms" from the Wanli period.

After all, Tianqi would not listen to Confucian ministers and only read Confucian classics and history without understanding the latest geographical achievements.

"This is a small country, but it dares to provoke this dynasty! I really wish I could just use my troops to destroy him!"

At this time, Tianqi said bluntly after Zhang Gui said this.

"Your Majesty is right. If it wasn't too far away, he should have destroyed this country directly to avoid making people sick again! But right now, in fact, his country is far away from the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to destroy this country, he can only do it slowly. Right now.

, we can only teach him a lesson first."

Zhang Gui then said.

"The problem is that there are now 3,000 Han people in their hands. They want to teach them a lesson, but they are quite reluctant to do so."

After saying that, Tianqi stood up and said: "I decided to meet these people in person. If they can give me face and let my people go, I can consider not destroying this country in the future. But if I come in person, I will also

If you kill my people, then we can only be enemies!"

So, a few days later, Tianqi drove to Tianjin.

Zhang Gui and other ministers also came here.

Tianqi did not issue an order to mobilize the nearby navy to approach and intercept these red-haired ships. Naturally, this was to prevent these red-haired dogs from jumping over the wall and directly massacring the three thousand Han people captured by them.

As for why these red-haired gangsters captured so many Han people.

Xichang later also investigated the reason.

As far as Zhang Gui knows, they are all Han people who have just migrated to various parts of Nanyang. These Han people are generally not very vigilant, so they have taken advantage of these red-haired people. In addition, with the help of some remaining indigenous forces, they have given

The Red Maofan captives had many opportunities to take away the Han people.

After Tianqi and Zhang Gui arrived in Tianjin, they saw that the newly built platform near the sea was full of Han people kneeling, and these Han people had their hands tied behind their backs. Many red-haired soldiers were pointing at these Han people with blazing guns.

At the same time, several red-haired bandit leaders were standing in the middle of the platform, arrogantly looking down at the Han people in front of them.

In addition, Zhang Gui suddenly discovered that there were several Eastern Confucian scholars wearing Confucian scarves standing beside these red-haired gangster leaders!

Not long after Ye Chengxue went to talk with him, these red-haired gang leaders came to Tianqi together with the Eastern Confucian scholars.

Tianqi obviously noticed these Confucian scholars and asked them first: "Are you Han or Korean?"

At this time, a Confucian scholar with a long face replied: "So that you, the Ming Emperor, will know that we are all Han people, but because of your unjust court, we have now become ministers under the governor of Batavia.

Governor Davia is a wise monarch, and the world will belong to him sooner or later."

It is worth explaining here that Batavia was just a colony established by the Netherlands in Southeast Asia and was the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. The so-called Governor of Batavia was just the leader of the Dutch East India Company.

However, because these Han Confucian scholars who surrendered to the past were influenced by Confucian culture, they still had the idea of ​​​​earning their literary and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family. They tried their best to make their masters become the largest landowners in the world, and they themselves also followed suit and became prosperous. Therefore, they surrendered to the Dutch.

Later, they still hoped that the Dutch governor of Batavia could seize the Central Plains and become the emperor of the Han people in the world. Then they would become ministers of the Conglong, and together with the Dutch governor, they would enslave the Han people in the world for generations.

This is the ideal of Confucian scholars.

As the saying goes, cultivating one’s moral character, harmonizing one’s family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world.

It doesn't matter whether the monarch is a Han, a Manchu, a Mongolian, or even a Western Yi.

Today's Confucian scholars care more about who gets the destiny and becomes their master, and then they enslave the Han people in the world together. As for the race of the person who gets the destiny, it is not important.

Even if this person is a black man, I am afraid that there are Confucian scholars who are still willing to kneel down and shout long live our emperor, and then write a book for him and praise him. How can he win the hearts of the gods?

You know, in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, Confucian scholars from the Northern Song Dynasty went to the Jiaozhi Kingdom and encouraged monkeys to destroy the Song Dynasty and seize the Central Plains.

Not to mention those who defected to Xixia.

Now, these Confucian scholars who have surrendered to the Dutch are the same, and naturally regard the Governor of Batavia as the new monarch.

After all, Confucian servility is a natural attribute of Confucianism. Once you believe in Confucianism, it will be very uncomfortable if you don't find a master for yourself.

After hearing what the Confucian scholar said, Tianqi laughed instead of being angry: "It turns out they are Han people. Since they are my Han people, even if they are dissatisfied with me and want to escape to the sea, why don't they declare themselves king? Why do we have to do it again?

Find yourself a master, and even find a red-haired fan to be your master, whose face are you embarrassing?"

After hearing this, Zhang Gui couldn't help but sneered. He had to admit that Tianqi was a different emperor from Wanli. He had a strong cultural mindset in his bones. He actually asked the Confucian scholar who had taken refuge with the Dutch directly why he didn't declare himself king.

To be honest, Zhang Gui once had this question. There were many Han people who went to sea in history, but why did so many Han people not want to establish themselves as kings, or directly suppress the local indigenous people and become new masters, but why were they overwhelmed by the indigenous people?

If you come, you will either be slaughtered or expelled.

Now, when Tianqi asked this, Zhang Gui also echoed: "What your Majesty said is that these people are really cheap! They have all gone to sea, and they still need to find a master!"

When the Confucian scholar in front of him heard what Tianqi and Zhang Gui said, his face turned purple with anger, and he couldn't help but cursed: "You are a tyrant and a traitor, so don't talk arrogantly. We are just following the destiny of heaven, and we are not like you who go against heaven!"

Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, I found out that they are not only cheap, but also very thick-skinned. They actually said with shame that they were complying with the destiny! If the destiny is on their side, wouldn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty should be destroyed?"
