Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 162 Feng Tian Begs General Hu Oboi! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"I haven't entered the Great Buddha Temple yet. Where is Oboi?"

When Shang Kexi said this, his calves were trembling. It wasn't because he was old and cowardly, but because he was always afraid of Oboi to death!

That is Manchuria's No. [-] Batu Lu Oboi!
I think when Shang Kexi was still in the Ming army, he knew Oboi’s terrible reputation. This Oboi even boarded a small boat to kill people on Phi Island, so he is a "amphibious Batulu", so fierce. It violated the common sense that the Tartars are not good at water warfare.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tartars in Oboi's generation were particularly cruel, it is gratifying that after being killed by the Tartars and ruining his family, he would still vote for the Tartars as a traitor, and he is still the kind of traitor who is determined and unrepentant!

To put it in an unbelievable way, Shang Kexi is now thinking about going against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty because he is afraid of Oboi.
"Here, here! Amma, look at this."

When Shang Zhixin said this, he gave Shang Kexi a piece of paper. Shang Kexi picked up the paper and looked at it through the sunlight coming in from outside the Zen room, but he couldn't see clearly at all. His cataract is already very serious, and his eyes are always white One piece, everything is blurred.

"What is this?" Shang Kexi asked.

Shang Zhixiao said: "This is a notice that was pasted all over the bulletin boards inside and outside the Great South Gate, Xiaonan Gate, and Guide Gate early this morning in the name of 'Da Ming Feng Tian begs General Hu Ao'." Call for words!"

Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment, "What? Fengtian begs General Hu? Isn't Oboi himself a barbarian? He still begs Hu? He begs himself?"

"No," Shang Zhixin continued, "Ama, what Oboi wants to beg is not himself but us! He said we are Hu, and he has already turned himself into a Han."

"We are Hu, he is Han." Shang Kexi muttered, "Aobai is considered a traitor?"

Shang Zhixin nodded: "Of course it counts!" He gritted his teeth and said again: "Ama, Oboi's petition is called 'Fengtian begs Shangxi', and it is mainly for our family!"

"Ask us? Why?"

Shang Zhixin snorted: "Why else? Isn't it because you killed too much, Ama? Aobai said in the proclamation that your old man Geng Yin led the army to slaughter Guangzhou in the year of [-]th, killing [-] people, filling the six veins, and saying that Guangzhou Forty miles around the city, all living people were slaughtered, and more than [-] people died!"

"That's not it, I have already built the Great Buddha Temple, and I have been a monk here for a few hours every day to atone for my sins!"

"Oboi also said that your old man later used the coastal area to relocate the borders to commit misdeeds, turning the coastal areas of Guangdong into white land, and millions of people in Guangdong were starved to death and slaughtered! This is a heinous crime and against the way of heaven, so we must worship God. Beg for it. He also said that there is absolutely no possibility of forgiving you, old man, and that once captured, he will be executed immediately, and he will be cut into pieces!"

When Shang Kexi heard this, he was already anxious to scold: "What the fuck? This Oboi actually accused me of the matter of moving the border along the coast? Didn't he order this matter to be implemented after hearing Huang Wu's nonsense? I It is following orders!"

Shang Zhixiao was also anxious, crying and saying: "Ama, don't say these things are useless, let's think about it. Oboi and Wu Sanwei have probably reached the coast of Guangdong, and they will attack us soon!"

"What? It's probably already here?" Shang Kexi turned his head, and looked at his second son with half-blind cataract eyes, "Second, what do you mean? You don't know whether Oboi and Wu Sanwei are here or not." ?”

"It's definitely coming. Otherwise, who posted these proclamations?" Shang Zhixin said firmly, "Now Gaozhou, Leizhou, and Lianzhou in western Guangdong are all under the control of Wu Sangui's cousin Zu Zeqing, and half of Guangxi province In the hands of Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong, and Guo Yi. They have all turned to Wu Sangui!
Ahma, think about it, after Aobai and Wu Sanwei left Wenzhou Rui'an by water, where else could they go, except to go all the way south to our Guangdong province and join Gaozhou and Leizhou?I count the days, they should have arrived in Gaozhou and Leizhou last month.Rest for a few days, and it's time to act recently. "

"It arrived last month?" Shang Kexi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "No way? I don't have any news at all."

"Why do you have any news?" Shang Zhixin snorted, "Except for Qiongzhou Mansion in the coast of Guangdong, you have cleared fifty to one hundred miles away. Even Qiongzhou Island has been surrounded by wooden fences, leaving only One seaport leads to Leizhou, and the rest of the places are not allowed to enter the sea!
The Guangdong Navy doesn’t go out to Lingdingyang very much now, and the islands that are farther away from the mainland have also given up, even Nan’ao Island, which used to be an important coastal defense town!Even if the fleet of Aobai and Wu Sanwei walked close to the sea, beating gongs and drums as they walked, we would never know! "

After listening to his son's analysis, Shang Kexi also felt that it made sense, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn it, what should I do if this coastal border exile made me blind or deaf?"

"Ama, why don't you hurry up and take the 36 plan!" Shang Zhixin said with a filial face, "I will help you clean up the mess in Guangzhou, and you can go back to Beijing to take care of yourselves. Anyway, you are going to be blind, even if When Oboi comes to fight, it is impossible for you to command the army to fight him. You couldn't beat him when you were not blind, but now you can only command blindly, let alone."

Shang Kexi was very upset when he heard this, but he couldn't vent his anger. He really can't see it now!And even if he can see, he can only run when he sees Oboi!

"Wait, wait" Shang Zhixiao saw that his "blind Ama" was silent, as if he really wanted to run away, so he hurriedly said, "We don't know if Aobai and Wu Sanwei are here, but someone must know !"

"Who?" Shang Kexi asked.

"Where are the Frangji people in Haoao!" Shang Zhixiao said, "There is nothing that they don't know about the Guangdong sea!"

Shang Kexi patted his forehead, "I almost forgot about those people, hurry up, send someone to Xiangshan County, let that Pan Hong go to Haoao to ask that Shi Bingtou if he has been there recently A large number of pirates are transporting people to the coast of Guangdong!"

Man, of course it has arrived!

Just arrived!

But I did not go to Gaozhou or Leizhou, but to a small island called "Xiangdao" off the coast of Xin'an County, Guangzhou Prefecture. This is the small island opposite Haoao that was later called Hong Kong Island!

This "Xiangdao" was a good place in the Ming Dynasty. It used to be a distribution center for the spice trade. The word "Xiang" in Hong Kong and Xiangdao came from here.

Like other coastal areas in Guangdong, Xiangdao is also within the scope of coastal relocation, and the residents on the island have long been forcibly relocated by the Qing sent by Shang Kexi.So when Wu Sanwei and He Tianran arrived at Xiangdao in the boat of Zhu Tiangui, commander of the Dayuan Island navy, the island was already deserted, and even the traces of the once prosperous island were almost gone.

However, across the bay from Xiangdao, there is a Kowloon pier on Beacon Hill on the Kowloon Peninsula, and a few Xun soldiers are stationed inside the pier, led by a foreign commissioner named Zhou Mo.

This foreign committee member surnamed Zhou threw the general committee to "squat" on the Kowloon pier of Bijia Mountain, which is not a shit. Naturally, it can't be a member of the feudal clan. It's not a green battalion soldier from the north, or even a Wu Liuqi was a powerful soldier from Guangdong who had defected to the Qing Dynasty. He was the most worthless soldier from the Guangdong coastal guards of the Ming Dynasty, and was only incorporated after the Qing Dynasty invaded Guangdong.

That's why he and his men were thrown on the most desolate seaside, with the least amount of money and food, guarding a dispensable pier, and never having a bright future.If there is no accident, they will continue to serve as soldiers and farmers in Jiulongdun, Nantouzhai, Nanshanzhai, and Yantianzhai for generations.
But this accident that changed the trajectory of their lives, here comes!
When Zhou Mozhou always came out of his barracks this morning yawning, carrying a fishing rod and basket, carrying a bow and arrow, and was thinking about getting some seafood and game to make soup, he suddenly heard A Xun soldier under his hand was shouting: "Boss, there are so many boats on the sea!"

This Xun Bing's voice sounds very cheerful!

Of course they are not here to defend the country, but to help merchants engage in smuggling
Only when someone comes to smuggle can they collect money!
It's a pity that since Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan who killed thousands of knives, has carried out coastal relocation in Xiangdao, Kowloon, Tuen Mun, Guanyong, and Yantian. Not to mention the smuggling boats, the fishing boats are gone!

How many years have they confiscated money from private businessmen!

So when he heard his subordinates report that many boats were coming, Zhou Mo's first reaction was that his subordinates were absolutely fooled.But then there was a second person yelling: "Boss, someone has landed. It seems to be coming towards us!"

To send money?

As soon as he thought of collecting money, Zhou Mo threw the matter of "cooking soup" out of his mind, ran back to the barracks, and then climbed up a rickety staircase to the abutment of Jiulong Pier.

The two Xun soldiers under him had already climbed onto the pier one step ahead of him, and they were staring at the beach six or seven miles away, one of them raised his arm and pointed to the southeast, stammering: " The Red Turban Army, the Red Turban Army is here"

Red Scarf Army?Is it the end of the Yuan Dynasty?

Zhou Mo hurriedly looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw that dozens of big bird boats or big blessing boats had come in at some point in the southeast bay, some of them were close to Xiangdao in the south, and there were ten others. Lai Tiao leans against the bay on the Kowloon Peninsula side.These bird boats and lucky boats also put down many small sampans. It should have been lighted and landed for a while.

Because Zhou Mo found that there was a large group of red scarf soldiers carrying spears, shotguns, and knives on the beach, which had formed a fairly neat square formation. Guided by red military flags, they drove towards the Kowloon pier.

Vaguely, Zhou Mo also heard the singing of "Welcome the Ming King"!

"The court seeks promotion, and the evening seeks harmony. It is difficult for Han children to survive these days. Open the door early to worship the king of Ming, and the king of Ming comes to divide the land"

"Boss, it doesn't seem right, they are, they seem to be rebels!"

At this time, Zhou Mo was already in tears, "No, they are soldiers from the Ming Dynasty and Ming has finally returned! Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty! Hahaha."

The two Xun soldiers beside him were still in a daze, as if they didn't know that the biggest opportunity of their lives had come!

Zhou Mo looked around, opened his throat again and shouted: "Shang Kexi, that dog thief who killed a thousand swords will soon be punished!"

It's great that Shang Kexi will be punished!

In today's Guangdong, especially on the coast of Guangdong, there are not many people who don't hate Shang Kexi to the bone!
So even though the two Xun soldiers didn't have much feeling for anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty and making contributions, when it comes to catching Shang Kexi and cutting them to pieces, they are full of energy. Before the wolf smoke was lit, it fell.

Due to the instant collapse of the Kowloon pier and the desolation along the coast of Guangfu, not only is it gratifying to not know that Daming is back, but even the aspect of Hao and Macao, which faces each other across Lingdingyang and Xiangdao, does not know that the sky in Guangdong is about to change until The envoys sent by Xiangdao took a note issued by "Daming Fengtian begs General Hu Oboi" and "Daming Nanyang Trade Minister Wu Sanwei" and boarded a bird boat with the banner of "Daming Yanping Wangfu Navy" When I arrived in Haoao, I asked to see Shi Bozhi, the Portuguese soldier in Haoao.

"what?"

In the Governor's Mansion in Hao'ao Castle, the Governor of Hao'ao, Shi Bozhi, who was called the "Portuguese Soldier Head" by the Ming Dynasty, looked at his deputy, the fortress commander Luo Dongni, and asked seriously: "Antonio (Rotoni's full name is Antonio Bassabo Rob), what did you say?"

"Governor, Daming, or to be more precise, Wu Sanwei, the Nanyang Minister of Wu Sangui's side, and the envoys of the General Obai came to Haoao. The Chinese sailboat they took was parked at the pier in the inner harbor of Haojiang. This is Please have a look at the note translated by Reverend Luo Wenzao."

While speaking, Luo Dongni handed Shi Bozhi a document written in Latin—the translation of the note jointly issued by Ao Bai and Wu Sanwei.And the priest Luo Wenzao he was talking about was a Dominican missionary, a Chinese, and a popular candidate for the bishop of Macau!
Of course, it is impossible for him to be selected just because he is "popular".It's not because he is Chinese, but because the Catholic Chinese "protection right" belongs to the Kingdom of Portugal!

And the "apologetic power" includes the appointment of bishops!That is to say, the bishop of Macau who is in charge of religious affairs must be nominated by the King of Portugal, and the Kingdom of Portugal was annexed by the Kingdom of Spain decades ago. rights are in dispute.

Therefore, after the death of the previous bishop of Macau, the post of bishop of Macau has been vacant for nearly 40 years. If history does not change, it will continue to be vacant for more than 1692 years, and the next bishop will not appear until [-].

However, the absence of a bishop does not mean that there is no one presiding over the educational affairs of Macau. Now the one presiding over the educational affairs of Macau is Luo Wenzao, who is a Chinese.

"Father Luo didn't make a mistake in the translation, right?" Shi Bozhi read through the note translated by Luo Wenzao, then raised his head and looked at Luo Dongni in surprise.

"Father Luo is Chinese, and he is proficient in Latin. How could he translate it wrong?" Rotoni smiled and said to the Governor of Macau, "I think, Your Excellency, what is before us is a historic opportunity! If we If we can help Wu Sangui's army, then the Roman Church will be able to freely spread the gospel of the Lord in China, and Portuguese businessmen will also have the privilege of entering the hinterland of China for trade! This will mean that Portugal will become great again!"

It turned out that Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai put forward a condition that the Portuguese colonists in Macau could not refuse in the note - free missionary work by the Catholic Church and free trade by Portuguese businessmen!
This is a good thing that the Portuguese have thought about for many years. Is this going to "come true"?

Moreover, for the Portuguese who are currently struggling for the revival of the country, China's free trade and free missionary work is really a good thing - the so-called "free" trade is of course exclusive to the Portuguese free!

And free missionary. This is a big deal!

Religion often means large donations and slow penetration into the country's economy, politics, and education. Portugal has the right to defend religion. If this business is done well, can't it get rich again?
"Is this true?" Shi Bozhi frowned. "Will they regret it after getting the weapons we provided? Easterners who don't believe in God often do such things."

"It's possible!" Luo Dongni said, "but they don't take it for nothing. They will give us money and sign a binding treaty. In addition, according to reliable information, the Great Ming Xiwang, who was originally The Great Qing Pingxi King is currently winning! His army won a big victory in the summer battle and wiped out tens of thousands of the most elite Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

At present, the army supporting Wu Sangui has controlled half of Guangxi and Wu Sangui himself is preparing to attack Shaanxi.Maybe in another year or two, Wu Sangui will become the master of the whole of China.And that Nanyang minister Wu Sanwei might replace Shang Kexi as the king of Guangdong!If we reject him now, we may be kicked out of China when he becomes the king of Guangdong! "

"But wouldn't we betray the Qing emperor by doing so?" Shi Bozhi still hesitated, "If Wu Sangui won't be able to win for a while. We may face serious consequences!"

"Can there be any serious consequences?" Luo Dongni smiled, "With the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, is it still possible to drive us out of Macau?"

"this."

Now the Qing Dynasty seems to have no such strength.

Thinking of this, Shi Bozhi nodded, "I can sign a formal treaty with them and provide them with as much help as possible. But I must meet the Minister of Nanyang. Antonio, do you know where he is?"

"He's in Xiangdao." Luo Dongni said, "The army he led has arrived at Xiangshan Island opposite Lingdingyang on the fleet of Yanping Prince's Mansion in Dayuan Island. According to statistics, the number of people has reached more than [-]!"

"Are you at Xiangdao?" Shi Bozhi thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go there to meet that Nanyang Minister Wu Sanwei. If he is really that powerful, then I will provide him with arms and sign a treaty."
