Since August of the ninth year of Tianwu, there have been conflicts between local aborigines and Chinese in Luzon, showing a gradually expanding situation.

In particular, in the Spanish-controlled colonies, clashes broke out almost daily, and the local natives had begun to loot the property of Chinese shops in name only.

A few days later, the Manila Governor's Office suddenly issued an order ordering the Chinese to move and hand over their firearms, swords and other weapons for self-defense.

They claimed that as long as the weapons were handed in, the Governor's Palace would guarantee the safety of the Chinese!

On the streets of Manila, a gray-haired old man hid in his home, closed the doors and windows, and cursed in a deep voice: "These calves are playing tricks again!" ”

He had lived in Manila for decades and knew that before the first two massacres, the Spanish colonizers had used the same tactics to get the Chinese to move and divide them, thus forming a dominant confrontation between tribal groups.

The surrender of weapons such as firearms and swords is to deprive the Chinese of their ability to resist!

Now these calves are actually using the same trick!

The riots in Manila have begun, and the street where the old man is located is filled with shouts and screams, and some Chinese shops have been ransacked by locals.

On another street, on a European-style pavilion, He Bin, the head of Jinyiwei Nanyang Intelligence Network, stood at the window on the second floor, calmly drawing the scenes that happened on the street.

I saw that in front of a Chinese shop opposite, the shopkeeper was dragged out by the local natives, and seven or eight natives around him immediately pounced on him with knives and sticks, slashing mercilessly.

A short time later, with the crazy howl of a crowd, the shopkeeper's head was cut off with a knife, and he was kicked and rolled as a ball by several natives, and blood sprayed all over the ground......

"Has the information been sent?"

After the painting was completed, He Bin slowly rolled up the painting and stuffed it into a bamboo tube, asking without raising his head.

The brocade-clothed guard Xiaoqi beside him immediately replied: "Lord Hui, it has been sent to His Royal Highness the King." ”

He Bin nodded slightly, handed him the bamboo tube, and said, "This one goes straight to the front of the emperor!" ”

With that, he changed into the garb of a Spanish officer, walked out of the pavilion, and headed for the governor's palace.

In Manila, where the suppression of the Chinese was severe, everything for the Chinese had to be restricted, but He Bin was able to thrive in the Spanish colonial army, all because he had a "glorious" work experience.

As one of the "Eighteen Zhi" who crossed the South Seas in those years, He Bin often dealt with the colonists, not only as a pirate, but also as a correspondent for the East India Company, that is, as a correspondent for the Dutch people in Taiwan, and was familiar with various Chinese languages.

With this work experience, He Bin easily gained the trust of the Spaniards and continued his latent work.

.......

Nanjing Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace, where the first palace examination of the new imperial examination is being held.

Accompanied by a group of cabinet ministers and officials of the Ministry of Education, Zhu Cihong personally came up with the questions to inspect the tributes who stood out in the imperial examinations.

After the education reform, the first batch of college students graduated, and the reform of the imperial examination should also be carried out from time to time.

According to the new type of education, every citizen of the Ming Dynasty must carry out compulsory education, at least to graduate from primary school.

A small percentage of those with good grades were admitted to state secondary schools for free and continued training by the state, while those with average grades could only choose private technical schools built by businessmen or not attend.

Students who have graduated from national high schools will receive a Xiucai degree, and a small part of the excellent comprehensive grades will be admitted to national universities for free and continue to receive training from the state in professional subjects, such as Huangming Military Academy, Agricultural University, University of Political Science and Law...... After graduation, he obtained a degree in lifting.

After graduating from national high school, those with average grades can choose private universities and engage in various industries, or they can apply for public offices below the county level and become local officials.

Since the education reform, the number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty has grown explosively, and the previous imperial examination system has long been unable to meet the needs of the township examination and the general examination under the new education.

There are too many people, and there are not enough test centers at all!

After the reform of the new imperial examination, the national examination was changed from once every three years to once a year, and it can only be participated by elites who have graduated from national universities, that is, the degree of lifting.

A group of outstanding people who have passed the examination will become tributes and can enter the palace to participate in the palace examination.

The palace examination was personally inspected by the emperor, and a group of talents were selected and awarded the Jinshi degree.

After selecting talents, they will be assigned according to their specialties and trained to become officials.

After the reform of the imperial examination, the champion of the first palace examination was named Lu Yizai, who was the eldest son of Lu Xiangsheng, the minister of shipping.

In the palace test, Zhu Cihong did not release the water, everything was based on his ability to speak, Lu Yizai's performance was indeed better than others, and he was quite insightful.

Zhu Cihong did not let him enter the Hanlin Academy to gild his studies as usual, but directly appointed him as a county magistrate who had just been affected by the disaster.

As soon as the palace examination ended, Li Tingbiao hurried over and presented a report with a solemn expression.

Zhu Cihong opened it and saw that it was a change in Nanyang.

The anti-Chinese activities in Manila have intensified, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries, and even a trend of large-scale massacres of Chinese.

"Jumping clown!"

Zhu Cihong slapped the report in his hand on the dragon case, and said in a deep voice: "Order the Nanyang garrison to enter the first level of combat readiness, and the Nanyang fleet of the Ming Royal Navy to enter the second level of combat readiness!" ”

Talking about the anti-Chinese incident in Nanyang, Zhu Cihong hated it deeply, the situation of overseas Chinese represents the epitome of the country in the world, and the Chinese have been slaughtered many times in history because of the strength of the Chinese court and the attitude towards overseas!

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in the Qing Dynasty when the Qing army entered the customs, the domestic war was continuous, the national strength was weak, and the Chinese who wanted to support Manila were also more than willing but not enough.

Later, the two anti-Chinese massacres in Manila in 1686 and 1782 were in the period of the strongest Kangqian era in history, but the Tatar Qing were completely unable to protect their people abroad!

For this reason, Kangxi was still the emperor with "Holy Ancestor" as his temple name, and the measure he took was simply to prohibit Chinese from doing business in Manila.

In this time and space, when Chongzhen was fighting the second anti-Chinese massacre in the twelfth year, it was when Zhu Cihong led his troops out of the customs for the Liaodong War.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is not a Tatar Qing who is nothing!

Spain dares to fight with Da Ming's fist, Da Ming must strike hard and break his big teeth!

The message of entering a state of war reached the military aircraft and the cabinet, and immediately caused the surprise of the civilian and military generals.

They didn't know why the emperor was so aggressive about the affairs of Nanyang, which was not yet in turmoil.

Chen Zhenhui, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the Lord does not raise troops out of anger, Your Majesty thinks twice!" ”

Chen Zhenhui suggested that the dispatch of troops should be justified and should be warned first, if the governor of Manila insists on allowing the riots, then expel his envoys, cut off diplomatic relations with them, and finally declare war and send troops to conscript!

In this way, there is reasonableness, evidence, and moderation, and the way of doing things for a great country is revealed.

In the end, Zhu Cihong adopted his suggestion, and state behavior is like this, although it is only a formality, it must also be taken.

He ordered the Honglu Temple to draft a warning message and send it to the Governor's Palace in Manila, but the state of combat readiness did not change, and he was ready to send troops at any time!
