The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 413 Shi Daxuan

Huang Han instructed the propaganda team: "Everyone must remember to give hope to the majority! The future 'Red Banner Army' will take over many Ming armies. You all have experience in transforming Ningyuan Ming armies, but you can't copy them mechanically.

This time, the [-] or [-] captives will be treated differently. These people are actually pirates who are recruited under the flag of Ming Dynasty.

Your task is to refresh these people and prevent our army from being infected with bandits. "

He Shouxin said confidently: "Don't worry, general, our military benefits are unrivaled and the future is great. If you want to be eligible to join, you must meet the conditions.

We will take the trouble to understand the situation and reason, and those who are stubborn will report to the town governor to resolutely suppress them. Under the enthusiasm of our army and the high-pressure policy of the town governor, there are few people who are ignorant of current affairs. "

Huang Han said: "If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask the Navy and Marine Corps to cooperate, first treat the prisoners differently, and divide them into different classes.

The first class is dangerous elements who need to be watched all the time, the second class is those who can participate in labor under the supervision of our army, and the third class is active elements who are willing to work actively and eager to join the "Red Banner Army". "

He Shouxin said: "Xiaozhi understands that among the dangerous elements, there are those who talk and act indiscriminately, and they will be punished directly to serve as an example. General, don't worry, within three days, I promise to classify all the prisoners."

Among the "Red Banner Army" there are many Han Chinese who were rescued from Liaodong. Without exception, these people had the experience of being slaves. They were helpless and more violent and murderous. They recognized the "Red Banner Army" as a group, and their loyalty was higher than those in the pass. soldiers.

Even a scholar like He Shouxin is used to shouting and shouting, which is evident.

Huang Han believes that this momentum should be curbed and the Han people should be given more opportunities.

He said: "You have to remember that you must be cautious when killing Han people. If the evidence is convincing, it must be made public before the canonical punishment can be established."

He Shouxin fully agreed: "Don't worry, general, we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and will give the person sentenced to beheaded a fair trial."

Huang Han said: "Shi Daxuan, one of the Eighteen Zhi, raised his hand and surrendered. This is a good thing. Zheng Zhilong is a ruthless master. He must not be able to tolerate Shi Daxuan who surrendered. You go and bring that guy to let me see who is so holy." .”

Fortunately, Shi Daxuan was not injured, and when he was taken to the command cabin, he knelt down and kowtowed honestly and shouted: "I bow down to General Pingliao."

Huang Han looked at Shi Daxuan who kowtowed to the ground and refused to let him get up, and said calmly: "You have surrendered to the imperial court, how dare you intercept the Daming navy? Why do you still dare to disobey after our army has revealed its identity?

It must be that you are not dead-hearted. Although you put on official clothes, you are still doing pirate activities in your bones. "

Shi Daxuan has a good brain and understands that there is no turning back after surrendering. Now he can only choose to win the protection of General Pingliao to ensure the safety of his family in Anping Town, Quanzhou, Fujian.

He continued to kowtow and said: "General, to be honest with you, Shibazhi's business is still the same as it was before, and it even got worse.

The humble job was to find out that the five merchant ships that had paid us the navigation fee were detained by the general, so he stepped forward to intervene, but he touched the general Huwei and was beaten to death. "

Huang Han didn't expect Shi Daxuan to be such a bachelor, and he didn't quibble or deny it and directly admitted that although they accepted the recruitment, the pirate business was even more unscrupulous.

He said coldly: "In today's battle, what do you think the 'Red Banner Army' navy is capable of?"

Shi Daxuan still had lingering fears in his heart, he wiped off his sweat and said sincerely: "I admire the general's heroic navy, I'm afraid it's not as good as the warships on the deck of Xiyi, the warships led by the humble officer are not capable of fighting at all."

Huang Han knew that Shi Daxuan was the father of the traitor Shi Lang and one of the famous eighteen Zhizhi, and he had the intention of taking him in, so he asked, "Where do you go from now on?"

"The humble official is willing to go to the general. Since accepting the recruitment, the humble official is not willing to be a thief. He always wants to be a military officer of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zheng Gueran is a humble official who goes directly to the official. It is the duty of the humble official to order and prohibit. Sometimes he can't help himself!"

"It's not so easy to go to the 'Red Banner Army' and get military attache treatment. You need to perform meritorious service."

Shi Daxuan is very confident. He believes that General Pingliao has a powerful navy and there should be a large demand for captains with rich sailing experience.

In history, Shi Daxuan was not loyal to his fellow countryman Zheng Zhilong. He followed Zheng Zhilong and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and soon he returned to Zheng Chenggong with his subordinates.

Shi Daxuan's son, Shi Lang, was not loyal to Zheng Chenggong either. Instead, after Taiwan surrendered to the Manchu Qing, the old master was defeated, and the last regime that still held the banner of the Ming Dynasty collapsed.

He said: "Xiaozhi has lived at sea for nearly 20 years, is familiar with the East China Sea and Southeast Asia, and has a better understanding of the strength of all parties in this water area.

Seeing that the general's ship is strong and the artillery is fierce, it can completely destroy the nearby pirate lair.Unbeknownst to the general, there is a pirate's private port on an island not far from the route.

There is a nest of pirates that has been passed down for three generations. The leader of the pirates is Kuki Jiro, who owns no less than thirty warships.

The private port run by pirates is heavily guarded and has three forts. There are two to three thousand slaves in the private port, two to three hundred warriors, more than 300 arquebus gunners, and eight to nine hundred sailors and gunners.

Nine ghosts have formed a climate, and even can build warships by themselves, and repair warships without any effort. "

Huang Han understood that this Shi Daxuan was sophisticated, and this was the prelude to submitting a certificate of honor to join the gang.

"Oh? Are you so sure that my navy can take down the private port that the nine ghost pirates have been operating for many years?"

Shi Daxuan said: "The combat power of the humble post is not good, but the humble post has been in the sea for many years. If the general leads the navy to attack the nest of the nine ghosts, the humble post is willing to command the warships of the headquarters as the vanguard. The humble post will fight the enemy bravely and strive to make meritorious service. Become a general under the command of the general. Pawn."

"So I know the exact location of the pirate lair."

"Because I went to Jiugui's old lair, I offered to the general to take it there. The reason why I went to Jiugui's private port three years ago was because Shibazhi saw that Jiugui had the strength and wanted to invite him to join. At that time, I was accompanying Zheng Zhihu to contact .”

Huang Han was a little interested, and asked: "The nine ghosts refused to form an alliance with Shibazhi, didn't you think about swallowing him?"

"Of course there is such a plan. It's just that Shibazhi wants to fight against the big traitor Liu Xiang who is supported by the Dutch, and he has no time to care about him for the time being. In addition, Jiugui received some benefits and promised not to seize the merchant ship flying the flag of the Zheng family. , so Shibazhi chose not to touch him for the time being."
