Smuggling Daming

Qu Lie is also very anxious now, this time he led troops to surround the mosque, not just for show, if Qiu Ju failed to come back as scheduled, or if he failed to convince Tang Zhifu and Lu's family, then he could only They ordered the mosque to be demolished. No matter what obstacles they encountered, they would demolish the mosque in front of them, even killing people. After all, the military order was as big as the sky, and the Ming court would not tolerate any deception.

However, Qu Lie also knew that he brought these thousands of people to the Old Port. If he really forcibly demolished the mosques of these Muslims, it would probably lead to crazy revenge from these Muslims. At that time, he would have to kill people if he didn't want to. , Although after such killing methods, it may arouse the resentment of the local Muslims, but it can be more powerful and make them respect the imperial court, and it will be more convenient to manage in the future.

Thinking of this, Qu Lie sighed. He is a warrior, that is, a sword in the hands of the court. As long as it is beneficial to the court, his knife will be bloody. As long as Qiu Ju fails to follow it, then he can only It's a killing spree.

As time passed by, the Ming army and the Muslims guarding the mosque were still confronting each other. Neither side made any concessions. Seeing that the seven-day period was approaching, there was still no news from Qiu Ju. Let Qu Lie secretly hate, go out to the front of the mosque again, and stare murderously at the Muslims in front of him who vowed to protect the temple. The time has come, it seems that he is a villain.

"Grand Master, hurry up and get your people back, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qu Lie shouted again to the Grand Master who was sitting in front of the door with his eyes closed.But the Grand Imam remained motionless, and he didn't even open his eyes. It seemed that he was determined to live and die with this mosque.

Seeing this, Qu Lie gritted his teeth and slowly raised his right hand. As soon as his hand fell, the soldiers behind him would pounce on him like tigers and wolves. Anyone who dared to stop him would be their enemy.Anything can happen then.

However, at this critical moment, Qu Lie suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind him, and then a familiar voice shouted: "General Qu, please hurry, I have already persuaded Mrs. Lu and others , agreed not to demolish the mosque, and now the admiral has ordered you not to obey the previous military order!"

Hear shouts behind him.Qu Lie also felt relieved. When he turned around, he happened to see Tang Bohu wearing an official robe and galloping towards this side on a horse. However, he didn't seem to be very good at riding a horse, so his hat was crooked now. .The clothes are also very messy, and it seems that running here from the port has suffered a lot.Also behind Tang Bohu.Qiu Ju and the others also followed closely. Although they also looked very embarrassed, they all had excited expressions on their faces.

"At the end of the day, I will see Mr. Tang. Since the admiral has an order, please show the admiral's order, so that I can make the brothers retreat!" Qu Lie suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and tried his best to put on a calm look. Said to Tang Bohu.

Immediately, Tang Bohu took out Shenying's warrant.After all, Shenying is the admiral in charge of the military, and only he has the power to command the army.So even if Tang Bohu came in person, he still needed to show Shenying's warrant, otherwise Qu Lie and the others would not obey the orders of a civil official like Tang Bohu.

After Qu Lie verified that the warrant was correct, he saluted Tang Bohu, and then waved his hand. Thousands of murderous Ming soldiers immediately sheathed their knives and returned their arrows to their cages. Back to his barracks to rest, as for the next thing, that is Tang Bohu's free time. After all, he ran all the way from Malacca Port to the Old Port, and he must have the intention of buying people's hearts. The image of a good official who saves the people from the fire and water, so there is no need for Qu Lie to intervene.

"Fathers and elders of Jiugang, my official is Tang Yin, the magistrate of Malacca Port in Ming Dynasty. Some time ago, I and His Excellency the Grand Master finally persuaded the admiral to send troops to help Jiugang. In order to ask for the old house, in order to prevent conflicts between the people of the old port and the Ming army, I came here by boat without sleep, and finally let me stop this conflict. Now I am here to assure you that, No one will demolish your mosque in the future!" Tang Bohu climbed onto a big rock by the road and shouted loudly.

This time Tang Bohu personally ran from Malacca to the Old Port, really intending to buy people's hearts. After all, he has learned a lot of official methods during this time. If he wants to govern the place well, an official sometimes needs to use some necessary Means, this sentence has won his approval, and now Tang Bohu is also practicing and learning.

For Tang Bohu's personal arrival, the people in the old port are also very grateful, and now they hear that the other party has worked so hard all the way, in order to prevent them from conflicting with the Ming army. Although Qiu Ju who came here knew that the magistrate was trying to buy people's hearts, he didn't say anything.

With Tang Bohu's guarantee, the Muslims in Jiugang were relieved. Some of them walked over and wanted to help the Grand Master up, but when the supporters touched the Grand Master's body, their faces changed , one of the old men sighed, turned his head and shouted to everyone behind him: "The Grand Master has returned to the embrace of Allah!"

Muslims have a more open attitude towards life and death. They believe that there is death when there is life, and the death of a Muslim is, in their view, a return to the embrace of Allah, so there is no need to be too sad.It's just that people are emotional animals after all. When they heard the news that the Grand Imam had passed away, many Muslims present wept secretly, and prudent people began to chant the Qur'an in a low voice, as a way of expressing their gratitude. In his mourning, there was a low chanting sound in front of the whole mosque for a while.

Qiu Ju next to Tang Bohu also showed grief when he heard the news of the death of the Grand Master. When he left the old port a few days ago, he had already found out that his third grandfather was seriously ill, but in order to protect the mosque in the old port, He is still holding on to maintain the order of the old port, and it is not easy to survive until today.

As one of Qiu Ju's closest juniors, although Qiu Ju was deeply grieved, he still held back his tears and walked quickly to the head teacher's side, then gently tipped his body down, with his head north and feet south facing the sky, And straightened the limbs of the Grand Priest, and then people carried the Grand Priest to his home to prepare for the funeral.

Tang Bohu did not expect that as soon as he arrived in Jiugang, he encountered the death of the most important elder among the Muslims in Jiugang. But now that the other party has passed away, it seems that he can only rely on Qiu Ju's influence.

Qu Lie, who returned to the barracks, was also in a cold sweat when he heard the news of the Grand Master's death. He thought that it was fortunate that he didn't do anything, otherwise if there was a conflict between the two sides, even if he didn't touch the Grand Master at all, the Grand Master might end up The death of the chief will also depend on himself, and the old port may really be in chaos. It may not be an easy task for the imperial court to rule here.

Tang Bohu did not come alone this time, and a group of officials also came with him to the old port, and soon began to take over the government affairs of the old port, such as counting the population, planning the port, determining taxes, etc. Tang Bohu was also busy with this However, no matter how busy he was, he did not forget to attend the funeral of the Grand Master. After all, although the Grand Master died, the Qiu family was still the first family in Jiugang. Without the help of the Qiu family, it would be very difficult for him. Successfully took over the Old Port.

Qiu Ju had already received instructions from the Grand Master in advance, and he himself had a very clear understanding of the situation in Nanyang. Now that Da Ming intends to expand in Nanyang, Malacca is Da Ming's first step, so as the largest Han Chinese in Nanyang The settlements, Old Port, can't escape the hands of Daming as soon as possible. In addition, the Han people in Nanyang are too miserable. Without a strong support, they can only endure disasters in silence. Whoever is strong can rely on whomever is strong. There is no position at all, and now they can return to the rule of Ming Dynasty. As long as Ming Dynasty does not give up Nanyang, they will no longer have to look at other people's faces to live.

Knowing this, Qiu Ju cooperated very well with Tang Bohu's takeover of the old port. He took the initiative to persuade the various deans of the old port to hand over the taxation and other rights in his hands. After all, with Ming's protection now, the Han people in Jiugang don't need to maintain an army. As for how Qu Lie will deal with the old Hong Kong army, that's not his business.

Tang Bohu was also very satisfied with Qiu Ju's performance. After investigating for a period of time, he divided the old port and the surrounding area into a county, and appointed Qiu Ju as the magistrate temporarily. After all, Tang Bohu was only a magistrate and did not appoint a magistrate at all. However, to do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, now Jiugang needs to rely on Qiu Ju’s reputation to settle down, and his measures are all to stabilize the people’s hearts in Jiugang. I believe that Zhou Zhong will not only blame him in the future, but even admit it His arrangements for the Old Port.

Tang Bohu and Shenying brought the Old Port into the jurisdiction of Daming. The news was soon reported to Zhou Zhong of Shuangyu Port, which made Zhou Zhong very excited. Writing a memorial to report this matter, but just when Zhou Zhong sent the Nanyang memorial to the capital, the situation on the Wa country finally changed. (To be continued.
