The storm is about to come, and many signs of big things that are about to happen on Luzon Island have already been revealed.
Outside the barber shop, there were several young and strong Akito.
The door of the shop was ajar, and no lights could be seen outside.
However, if you walk into the yard at the back, you can see that many people have gathered here.
The younger ones were standing on the outside; the older ones were discussing things around a table in the middle of the yard.
In the entire courtyard, apart from the moonlight, there was only one lantern, which emitted a dull light and illuminated an area as small as a table.
"Brother Zhang, you have experience.
Please tell me how we can overcome this difficulty."
Lao Wangtou was the first to ask Zhang Wudao.
Several other older people also looked at Zhang Wu with concern, with varying degrees of nervousness on their faces.
Zhang Wu was actually in a difficult situation.
He was still young the previous time, and he only figured out some of the things before the incident.
But for the specific things, he never thought that such a thing would happen at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that he is asked to give everyone advice, it is still such an important matter.
To put it bluntly, he is a little unsure.
A little bit afraid Probably knowing what he was thinking, one of the burly middle-aged men suppressed his voice, but his voice was still a little loud and said, "Brother Zhang, it's okay.
Just say it, it's better than us not having any clue, lest it be the same as before."
After hearing this, several other people also encouraged Zhang Wu, asking him to put down any burden and tell them how to deal with the situation.
Zhang Wu looked at their expectant eyes, finally nodded vigorously, and then said thoughtfully, "Since everyone believes in me, let me talk about our current situation based on what happened back then."
Seeing a few people nodding, he continued, "From what we know so far, the Pampanga people have not gathered yet, and it is impossible for the Spaniards to do it alone.
This shows that we still have time.
This is one of the reasons one" "Secondly, we cannot trust those wealthy businessmen who have good relations with the Spaniards, especially those who have been close to the Spaniards recently.
But we can warn them not to trust the Spaniards.
That time before, the Spaniards were They deceived people like them first, and then killed those people when the big deal was decided.
This is a lesson for them."
"Third, we must contact as many compatriots as possible, organize each other, and act together on weekdays.
We must not be left alone and have to elect a leader.
If something happens, we will not panic."
"Fourth, at this time, it is not the time to take care of Xiaojia.
Those who are rich should contribute money, those who are strong should contribute, those who can make gunpowder and firearms should all gather together.
There are also various weapons.
Those who can be used should pay attention to collecting them. , swords, guns and sticks will do.
This way we won’t be defenseless and unable to resist.”
After saying four points in one breath, Zhang Wu finally stopped and then fell into memories again.
Others listened and nodded.
Seeing that he was silent.
They didn't make a sound, just watched Zhang Wu meditating, not wanting to disturb his thoughts.
After a while, Zhang Wu raised his head again, looked at the few people in front of him and continued, "We must also select a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in advance.
Once something happens, everyone will evacuate quickly.
We can rely on Terrain to resist those robbers” When others heard this, they began to think of such a place.
This barber shop is right on the street, so it is obviously not suitable as a base.
Unexpectedly, before they could think of anything, they heard noise coming from outside.
Two young men quickly entered, panting, and quickly walked to the table in the middle of the yard.
One of them looked at the burly middle-aged man and said, "Master, in the south of the city, there are our Ming people's shops.
Several of them were smashed by the Japanese pirates.

Without any reason, they just rushed in and smashed them.
People were also smashed.
They injured several of them.
When we went to stop them, the Spaniards drove us back with guns.
Those Japanese pirates stood behind the Spaniards and laughed at us triumphantly."
On Luzon Island, there are not only Ming people, but also people from the Japanese country, but they are few, with only a thousand people coming.
In the original history, these Japanese pirates also participated in the massacre of Ming people.
Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately stood up, casually took the stick thrown by the apprentice next to him, and thought about walking out.
"Master Niu, what are you doing?"
Zhang Wuyi heard this and hurriedly shouted, "The Spaniards are protecting you.
What can you do?
You are good at martial arts and can be faster than their muskets."
Niu Dazhuang opened a martial arts school in Manila, and his apprentices were all Ming people.
At this time, after hearing Zhang Wu's words, he stopped helplessly and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
At this time, Zhang Wu, either because he had more experience or because he had put aside his ideological baggage, seemed very decisive and immediately replied, "If you go out now, you will definitely not be able to come back.
We must unite more Ming people."
People, do what I just said."
After finishing speaking, he turned to the young people and said, "Remind our compatriots, during this period, do not think about doing business to make money.
It is best for all Ming people not to do business, and let the Spaniards know that this Lu Song Dao cannot survive without our Ming people.”
When he said this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
The Spaniards are not stupid pigs.
Of course they know that Luzon cannot live without Mingren, but they don't care and hope that the butcher will put down his knife.
This is simply unrealistic.
So, they began to focus on discussing which places could become their stronghold, and finally circled a few points, all of which were the manors of wealthy Ming people outside the city.
Then, the eloquent people immediately went to lobby, while others did what Zhang Wu said.
That night, many people were destined to have sleepless nights.
Not long after, the barber shop became quiet again.
Only Lao Wangtou and Niu Dazhuang were left to accompany Zhang Wu.
Of course, they were also accompanied by their apprentices, but they were all scattered in the courtyard, or watching the action outside.
Suddenly, a sigh sounded, which was particularly harsh in the courtyard that had just become quiet.
When Lao Wangtou heard this, he immediately became nervous.
He looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Seeing him like this, Zhang Wu smiled bitterly in his heart.
It seems that Lao Wangtou's wife and children, two sons and three daughters, have a heavy burden on his heart.
I also figured it out.
If I don't have a family, I won't have so many worries.
"Brother Zhang, tell me if you have anything to say, and we can figure it out together."
Niu Dazhuang also had worry on his face, looking at Zhang Wu and said.
Zhang Wu looked at the two of them, sighed again, and said without hiding anything from them, "We are just doing our best according to fate.
You might want to see if you can find a boat and secretly go to sea, or at least send your family to a nearby place." go."
The big ship must be controlled by the Spaniards.
The risk is high if the small ship goes to sea.
It is probably not much better than staying in Luzon.
When Lao Wangtou heard what he said, he immediately reached out and grabbed Zhang Wu's arm and asked hastily, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?
Is it useless if we do so much?"

Niu Dazhuang also wanted to ask, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he frowned and changed his words and said, "If we send someone to contact Liu Da's family and give them money, we will collect the money.
Do you think they are willing to come to the rescue?"
Having said this, he turned to Lao Wangtou and explained, "If there are no reinforcements from outside, it doesn't matter if we can hold on, we will be breached one day."
Lao Wangtou knew that Niu Dazhuang was originally from a military household.
He seemed to be a leader who could not stand the oppression from above and fled to Luzon.
If he said this, then it would definitely not be false.
Suddenly, he became anxious and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we give you money.
Don't those pirates just want money?
How about we raise the money?"
"Count on those pirates."
Zhang Wu asked after hearing this and shook his head.
"Don't think that they will protect us because they are wise.
They will not do a loss-making business.
Let them go to war with the Spaniards and his lackeys.
I don't believe it" When he finished speaking, his tall disciple suddenly interrupted and said, "Master, you can ask the imperial court for help."
"Which court?"
When Niu Dazhuang heard this, he immediately sneered, "Don't tell me that you expect our own court.
You are young.
I don't know how many people's hearts were chilled by the imperial court's response to the massacre.
Again.
The reporter said, I escaped because I couldn’t stand the dirty things in the Ming army.
If I expected an army like that from the court, it would be like the sun is rising from the west.”
"No, it's different now."
The tall apprentice quickly defended, but before he could explain any more, he saw Niu Dazhuang spitting on the ground, turned around, and said directly to Zhang Wu and Lao Wangtou, "You want me to see, We still need to find Liu Da as the boss, this is our way to survive."
At this point, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he told some things in his memory.
This made Lao Wangtou also nod.
They were all contemporaries and left the Ming Dynasty around the same time.
In the end, they both decided to lobby others and raise money to ask Mr.
Liu to come to the rescue.
This matter was also very urgent.
Both Lao Wangtou and Niu Dazhuang felt a little impatient, so they immediately left the barber shop and went to work on this matter regardless of the night.
The yard became quiet again.
Zhang Wu was a little tired after a busy day, so he went to lie down on the Taishi chair, looked up at the bright moonlight, and was lost in thought.
His apprentice, on the other hand, went to the back room to get a blanket and covered the master's legs.
At the same time, he muttered, "The court is different now.
It is said that the current emperor is wise and powerful and cares about the people, which is unprecedented in ancient times."
"The Mingjun" He had never said this before.
When he said it at this time, half of it was actually his own thoughts, just to prove that his point of view was correct.
After all, when he left Daming, Daming was no longer what Niu Dazhuang described.
To be honest, according to Zhang Wu's own knowledge, he is more inclined to Niu Dazhuang's statement, but just this morning, his two apprentices had already told him some things about the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing it again at this time, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
He thought that he had joined some chat group.
Aren't there people from Ming Dynasty there?
Why not go in and ask?
Thinking this, he closed his eyes and entered the chat group.

At first, he didn't speak.
He just observed for a while and found that the people in the group were all talking about the Ming Dynasty.
Some were talking about romantic affairs, and some were talking about the new salt method.
Regardless of whether he understood what they were saying or not, at least one thing he was sure of was that these were undoubtedly people from the Ming Dynasty.
After confirming this, he finally plucked up the courage and interjected, "Hello, I would like to ask, did our Ming Emperor say that those who offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are?"
After finishing speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with him, and immediately added, "Also, the current emperor also said that our Ming people are outside, I mean overseas.
If they are bullied, will they make decisions for us?"
His words were quickly deleted from the screen.
But after all, someone saw it, a person named Wei Mulan, and immediately replied, "Of course."
At this time, Wei Mulan was also in Liaodong, having conquered the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now that she was running the place with so much work to do, she didn't have to follow Lu Xiangsheng to fight everywhere like before, so one of her entertainment activities in the evening was to go to the chat group and read gossip.
As a result, Zhang Wu's statement was noticed by her even though others did not pay attention to it.
However, Wei Mulan's words were quickly brushed, which made her a little annoyed.
She even brushed two messages and said, "Everyone, be quiet.
I have something important to say, so we have stopped chatting."
Not to mention, her words were very effective, and the main chat group area suddenly became quiet.
When Wei Mulan saw it, he immediately took the time to speak and said, "Zhang Wu, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing this, Zhang Wu couldn't help but feel very grateful to Wei Mulan, and quickly replied, "The villain is looking for a living in Luzon.
The Spaniards here seem to want to massacre us Ming people again."
"I wonder what this means again," Wei Mulan asked quickly.
At this time, someone interrupted and said, "What kind of massacre scares people to death?
Could it be that you have a conflict with Xiyi?
At worst, come back to Daming."
"That's right, who dares to massacre our Ming people now?"
someone else said.
If something similar happened, it wasn't just the two of them.
After a while, there was a tendency to swipe the screen again.
When Wei Mulan saw it, she knew something was wrong, so she sent two more messages saying, "It's important.
If it's important, don't talk.
Listen to his explanation."
At the same time, she was also a little annoyed.
What a coincidence.
Tomorrow the emperor would notice that his achievement points had dropped.
As a result, she had no achievement points at all at this moment.
Otherwise, she would not have been disturbed if she had not chatted with this person privately.
Fortunately, both of her messages worked.
No one spoke, and Zhang Wu was given another chance, and Zhang Wu said, "No, in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the Spaniards slaughtered all the Ming people in Luzon, at least nearly 30,000 Ming people died.
Now.
There are signs that the Spaniards want to massacre us again like last time.
Now there are 30,000 people in Luzon."
While he was saying this, Emperor Chongzhen was getting ready to go to bed, and as usual, he went online
