Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 304
Near the pier, one or two thousand young strong men and clan elders were surrounded by the Liao Liao Army, which was smaller in number than them.Under the threat of muskets and rifles, they had to put down their weapons and knives and declare their surrender by default.

More than a dozen elders and uncles of the main combat faction were pushed out and became the ones who took the blame.

"Why did you raise troops to attack the port? According to my understanding, my subordinates should have done nothing to offend you." Chu Yun looked at the main fighters who bowed their heads and said nothing.

They drooped their heads, not daring to look directly into Chu Yun's eyes.

"Who are you?" the clan elder surnamed Wu asked.

"This is the leader of our Liaodong army, the great hero after the Jin Kingdom was eliminated, and the Liaodong General Soldier of the imperial court. You don't salute when you see the Liaodong General Soldier?!" Liu Wang shouted at them sharply.

In name, Chu Yun was still the General Army of Liaodong. In Yizhou, a land that had not been developed much, even if he was counted with them according to the official position of Ming Dynasty, there was no one here who could fight!

"Caomin has seen Mr. Zongbing..." The elder Wu and the others who were fighting the war really had to give in, no matter in terms of morality or fist.

"Since you still recognize me as the commander-in-chief, why do you raise troops against me and the court?" Chu Yun said righteously.

"My lord, what are you talking about?" The old uncles of the clan were stunned. It was Chu Yun who sent the fleet to attack Zheng Zhilong who had already taken refuge in the court. Why did it seem that he was representing the court?
"With your knowledge, it shouldn't be difficult for you to understand what I'm saying. Why do you want to rebel against the imperial court? Do you know that rebellion is a crime of beheading? Who gave you the courage? "Chu Yun asked a series of questions.

"My lord, we are not, we are not..." These fighters who were questioned by Chu Yun were questioned to the point of doubting their lives. At first, they were a little vague about why they raised their troops against the Liao army.

"You are the one who took the lead, right? Seeing that you are in your seventies and eighties, why do you rely on your elders to betray them and instigate everyone to oppose the imperial court?" Chu Yun walked in front of the elders of the Wu family.

The clan elder surnamed Wu was also a little confused by Chu Yun, making it seem like he was a traitor.

But he has old experience after all, he was confused for a while and then remembered: "Boss Yan and Boss Li once brought us to Yizhou to open up wasteland when we were famine, and gave us food and cattle, so that we survived the troubled times As the saying goes, the kindness of a drop of water must be repaid by the spring. The court cannot save us, but boss Yan and boss Li have done it. Now Zheng Zhilong and his gang have inherited the mantle of the two bosses. If something happens to them, we will naturally repay them .”

"So you raised troops against the imperial court to repay your kindness? In this way, I can't pursue your crimes?" Chu Yun asked.

"It's not..." I don't know why, these leaders always feel that they are the wrong side, and dare not openly oppose what Chu Yun said.

"Confucian culture respects benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. I can't say that you are wrong. But from now on, you don't have to repay Zheng Zhilong and the others, because Zheng Zhilong has already been defeated and fled to land." Chu Yun said.

As soon as Chu Yun finished speaking, the eyes of these fighters all protruded: "Zheng Zhilong was defeated by you? You didn't lie to us?"

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I think our fleet will return the captive pirates within two days. If there are any of your descendants or clansmen among them, take them back, and I won't hold you accountable." responsibility." Chu Yun said.

"My lord, please forgive me, please forgive me." These people believed Chu Yun's words out of ten, and knelt on the ground begging Chu Yun for mercy.

Zheng Zhilong, the biggest backer, was defeated, and their resistance seemed meaningless.If Chu Yun is serious, wouldn't he let him decide?

"Master, they attacked our stronghold and caused us a lot of unnecessary trouble, so let them go like this?" Liu Wang asked.

"Don't say that, they are also loyal people, let them go, I believe they will not be so short-sighted, and help the tyrant again." Chu Yun said.

"It's cheap for you people! Let's go!" Liu Wang drove them away with a sullen face.

One or two thousand civilians were surprised to see that the Fuliao army let them go without taking any punitive measures.However, they still ran away in small steps and returned to their own villages.

The old uncle of the main battle faction was especially unbelievable, and he was still muttering after leaving the port.

"The Fu Liao Army let us go so easily, isn't there something strange? Could it be that the Liaodong General Soldier lied to us, but in fact they haven't defeated Zheng Zhilong yet?"

"I also think it's very weird, but from what the Liaodong General Soldier said, it doesn't look like a fake. Maybe he is really a good man of the Liaodong General Soldier, and he doesn't want to care about mere mortals. You must know that Jin is so powerful after he is eliminated. Powerful people, with tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands, how can they think of people like us?"

"Yeah, we're not even farts in front of them. Dealing with us is like playing games. Look at the 300 people in their port, we have nothing to do. If their main force arrives, we women and children will not be enough to kill them. many."

"Shao Chang, others will destroy their prestige, and the Liao army is not a god. I think we should wait two days to see if the Liao army really brings back the captives and return them to our people, we will admit them. If it is just fooling We, wait until Zheng Zhilong comes back, and then we will join hands with Zheng Zhilong to drive them away."

The old uncles of the main battle faction are not idle people, and they are still a little bit unwilling to give up.

"Master, you are too merciful. Once some people don't give them a little color, they will rub their noses and face, and don't learn a lesson. If our troops stationed here decrease in the future, they will raise troops again." Liu Wanglue Said with dissatisfaction.

"I don't know this truth. It's just that the situation in Yizhou is not stable now, and the people are watching whether we are friends or foes. And these people are highly respected among them. If they are killed, rumors will be unfavorable to us." Chu Yun sighed.

In many cases, force is not omnipotent.

"Where is your chief, Madman Cheng, why haven't I seen him?" Chu Yun asked the soldiers of the mountain battalion who stayed behind at the stronghold.

"Returning to the commander of the army, the pirates left a troop here, which was brought into the forest by Zheng Zhihu. The officer is leading people to encircle and suppress Zheng Zhihu in the forest."

"It's Zheng Zhihu again. I caught him and let him go, but I didn't expect him to learn his lesson. I don't have the leisure time for Prime Minister Zhuge to capture Meng Huo seven times." Chu Yun sighed.
