Chapter 717: Mandate of Heaven
"The Mandate of Heaven is that from henceforth trade shall be free and traded, not by the alms of this prince, but by henceforth, the wealth of the merchants shall be secured, and the people who stand here today, no matter where they come from or from here, shall be as noble as the men of the Sultan's palace. Shinong and industrialists are all raised by their parents, flesh and blood, and they should enter the bureau. ”
"Today, I came to warn you and others on the orders of the Princess, and you waited for the Princess's Mansion, and the Princess's Mansion heard about it, and you were angry, and the Father-in-law also felt the same way; I came today to warn some people in this capital that the way of heaven has been ordained, don't be this mantis blocking the car, don't be a mayfly that shakes the tree, if not, if you go against the destiny of heaven, you will be punished by heaven! ”
"Today I come, also on the order of Master Chen Xuezi, hereby declare that Chen Xue takes the education of the common people as his own responsibility, if there are Chen students in Johor, then they are all classmates and brothers in Jiaozhi, Guangxi, Dingnan and even Jinling Chen students, brothers are humble and courteous, brothers share the same hatred and hatred, Chen Master declares hereby that anyone who bullies Chen apprentices, Chen Xue's 400,000 students should discuss together, and the Luguo Mansion and Chen Fuzi have agreed that they are willing to do their best to defend business rights and defend Chen Xue's ......"
Those who expressed their feelings were all excited and applauded.
On the other side, the Johor officers and soldiers who felt that the situation was serious all retreated and were squeezed out, several ministers panicked, and the military attachés also looked at each other.
They never imagined that this envoy of the Hao family would play such a play.
"Chen Xue should dare to be the first in the world and create a model army together. Sweep ......"
In the crowd, a military attache was so frightened by this horrific remark that his face turned pale, and he subconsciously took out his iron bow. Under the rain curtain, draw a bow and arrows.
His hand trembled and hesitated, but in the end, with a fierce pull of his hand, the arrow shot out like a meteor.
Yang Mingshi is a nerd. Nerds don't care about reality, in fact, this kind of person is similar to the righteous and upspoken envoy. His mouth is full of classics, his mouth is full of beautiful words, his mouth is a knife, and his tongue is an arrow. The tongue kills. Can be heart-wrenching!
There were cheers all around, his face was swollen red, and even his face became sacred, and he shouted loudly: "Yang hereby declares that from today onwards, the Western government decree will no longer come from the palace, and Western commerce and trade." No more ......"
He paused suddenly.
Under his eyes, which were already like a curtain of rain, those sparkling eyes suddenly became dim.
Blood flowed from his chest. Damping his already soaked shirt red, he was shocked and hung his head. A feathered arrow happened to pass through his chest.
He clenched his fists, and the people near him had already noticed something strange, and some people exclaimed, but the crowd behind them did not know where they were, but there were cheers one after another.
Someone wanted to step forward to help him, the guards around him had pulled out their waist knives, looking for the murderer, Yang Mingshi's body shook, but he waved away the people around him who wanted to hold him, his mouth was bleeding, his eyes were red, but he clenched his fists and waved, yelling: "No longer restrained by anyone, Johor is the Johor of Johor people, the West is the West of the West, and it is no longer anyone's world......"
He spurted out a mouthful of blood, and in an instant, the whole person fell straight down in the pool of stagnant water and blood.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
When the cheers reach their climax, silence ensues.
And then there's anger.
In fact, the Johor court was also panicked, they never imagined that the envoy of the government was dead. Many people are afraid that they don't know which stupid person did it, and the perpetrator has already fled when he sees that the situation is not good.
Things were terrible, terrible, because the crowd had gone into a frenzy, and the countless flow of people was uncontrollable like a flood peak.
Several ministers also took a rattan sedan chair and hurriedly entered the Sultan's palace.
Seeing that the dragons were leaderless and there was no edict from the Sultan, the military attachés had no choice but to shout and shout for the soldiers to retreat and prevent the palace city.
Things came too suddenly, someone hugged Yang Mingshi's corpse, the corpse was already cold, so everyone was even more crazy, and someone roared: "Revenge, revenge......"
However, the people of the organization still have their senses and appease, and there is already chaos here, and the chaos is a mess.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yang Mingshi's death was immediately transmitted to all corners of the West through various printed newspapers, and all the people who were watching suddenly felt a haze pressing down on their hearts, no matter who they were, no matter what position they held, they could faintly feel that things had developed in a worse direction.
The Sultan of Johor has ordered the culprit to be seized and sent an envoy to Lang Son to negotiate, willing to hand over the murderer and bring him to justice, and is also willing to clear up the misunderstanding and restore the old relationship.
It's just a pity that the envoy is still halfway, and the matter has reached a point of no return.
The Governors of Malacca all declared war on the Sultan and formed a model army, which numbered less than 2,000 but had the prospect of storming Johor Bahru and burning the Sultan's royal city.
In Penang, there were also people who smashed the government and pledged their allegiance to the political situation.
What is even more terrifying is that a steady stream of sea ships have set off from Haiphong, from Cochin, and from the coast of Dingnan to deliver gunpowder, medicines, and food to Malacca, most of which are gifts from major trading houses, or rather, aid to the Johor Bahru Wealth Management Bureau.
And what is really powerful is that the whole Dingnan and Jiaozhi are echoing a voice, this voice from the wine shop, from the teahouse, from the workshop, and even from the publications of the printing bureau, this voice tearing to the bottom, mixed with thunderous anger, this voice appeared in the city, appeared in the academy, appeared in the depths of the mine.
If you go to Johor, if you are a student of Chen, you will go to Johor, and if you are a Han Chinese, you will go to Johor.
Different faces, but people with the same purpose, all appeared in Penang, where a model army was being formed, or rather, it was an armed force that did not have much organization, and many of them, most of them, had one identity, they were all students of Chen Xue, there were teachers, and there were also older students.
They usually carry firearms, all of them short guns, and at this moment, they are all together.
Yang Jing is one of these internationalist fighters, he is a good friend of Xia Yuanji, when he was in Langshan, he and Xia Yuanji lived a leisurely life, eating supper at night, drinking a few glasses of rice wine, he was a teacher, in response to Chen Fuzi's call, he went to the big city of Dingnan Chen Xuetang to teach, his books were not very good, but like most of his like-minded friends, they were fanatical radicals.
Now he has put pen to paper, or he has not been from Rong at all, because he does not plan to enlist in the army, but when he left, he still received the salary of the Ayutthaya Academy, and was encouraged by the master of the school, telling him to make a difference, and then he set off and arrived here with his bags and many people.
What he brought with him were two short guns, some silver coins, some gunpowder and dozens of rounds of buckshot, and, naturally, seven or eight sturdy students.
Their purpose is one, as Yang Ming said, Johor is the Johor of Johor people, and the West is the West of the West, and it is no longer anyone's world, wrong, his understanding is that the West is the world of Chen Xue, the world of commerce, the world of the Luguo Mansion, the world of the political situation, and there will be no more position as the Sultan of Johor, and there will be no place for the lords of Johor.
A few days after arriving, the Penang Model Army was finally formed, there were thousands of people here, most of them were Chen Xue's students, and there were also many local people in Penang spontaneously.
The model army in Penang has only one purpose, which is to sweep through the north of Johor, join forces with the model army everywhere, and then wave the army south.
The Great War was imminent, at least for Penang, but the army had not yet been drawn out, and these enlightened people in Penang were not ready to send off the model army to the east, when another war report came, and the model army of Malacca was invincible, breaking several cities in a row, and the Sultan's army and horses were crushed for thousands of miles, and they were determined to negotiate peace.
In fact, the Sultan's soldiers are strong and strong, but they are not vulnerable, and behind this model army is the funding of the Langshan chaebol, and there is the endorsement of Lu Guogong, and now it is in full swing, but the problem is that the model army belongs to the militia organization, and it is not really useless to fight a few battles.
But the problem is that the Sultan always can't make up his mind, the situation has come to this point, has greatly exceeded his expectations, he knows that resolutely suppress the bomb, sooner or later the country will be ruined, even if he suppresses these civil strife, but the really powerful Hao family, but at the moment has not yet made a move, so his attitude is very hesitant, after a while to solve the order to eliminate the model army, but after two days, he began to hesitate again, and ordered the army not to act rashly, and wait and see first, and see if there is any hope of mediation, so that the fighter plane was missed, The model army took the opportunity to take down several cities in a row, and their morale was like a rainbow, and the civil and military ministers under the Sultan's account saw that the general trend had gone, so they could not help but have snakes and rats at both ends, and there were not a few people who secretly communicated with the political situation.
At this time, everyone realized that the Sultan of Johor was finished...... (To be continued......)
