The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 493
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Fan was a little confused by his words.
Indeed, it is not difficult for a person to surrender to the enemy and traitor to the country, but it also depends on the occasion, and why Joanna came to the Ming Dynasty from a thousand miles away, it is better to choose a country to join, not to mention that this is the East after all. , not to mention the different races, even the living habits and folk customs are quite different.
Moreover, Zhang Fan knew Joanna's identity. She was a nobleman with hereditary titles from her ancestors, an imperial military officer, not to mention the status of a soldier, who was extremely important in the eyes of Europeans, and made those rigid European nobles completely unable to The discarded noble titles are enough to prevent Joanna from betraying her motherland. After all, Portugal is her foundation, and even if she can get better treatment in other countries, play more roles, and get higher title, but in the eyes of many people, she will always live as a person who bears the brand of "traitor", and even her descendants will be ridiculed, and once something happens, she will His identity will definitely be brought up again, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
So while Zhang Fan was puzzled, he felt that Wang Xiliang's words were nothing more than his own imagination. Although he asked why, he didn't intend to delve into it too deeply.
"My lord, this matter sounds a little strange," Wang Xiliang said, "This time they came to Daming to ask us if we agree to them attacking Tianzhu, but speaking of it, they don't seem to care too much about what we say. When the fleet of low-ranking people passed by, the Portuguese fleet had already sailed to India. It seemed that they were really anxious, and the two of them went to see their emperor immediately after returning to China. It is said that His Majesty... …What the former emperor and they said, their emperor also agreed, and agreed to give us the blueprint of the Franc cannon, and this time the humble post also brought it back, "
"I can think of this matter," Zhang Fan said, "After all, although the Ming Dynasty is not close to me according to Tianzhu, it has nothing to do with us after all. It is not bad that they agreed to our conditions, but all of this, What does that have to do with Joanna?"
"This..." Wang Xiliang paused at this point, "Then Joanna is probably homeless now,"
"What's going on here?" Hearing what Wang Xiliang said, Zhang Fan was very puzzled, and the feeling of having nothing to do with him just now disappeared, and he became very interested.
Hearing Wang Xiliang's narration, Zhang Fan felt a little helpless. Could this be another Shakespeare with bloody blood?
The main reason why Joanna inherited the family's noble title as a woman is that she is the only heir left in her family. After his father died, only her and her mother remained in the family , and in her generation, she doesn't have any brothers, and her father is also the only child in the family, so Joanna doesn't have any uncles.
But this time when I went back, I don’t know where Joanna’s cousin suddenly appeared. Originally, even if such a person appeared out of nowhere, it didn’t matter, but this cousin obviously didn’t know From there, he climbed a high branch, and he accused Joanna's father of murdering his own brother for the title of nobleman.
And what is even more incredible is that the court of the empire accepted his complaint and demanded a trial of this matter. It can be seen that behind this matter, the people standing behind the scenes must have huge rights and can manipulate these things.
Joanna didn't pay much attention to this at the beginning. After all, there have been many such things throughout the ages, and Joanna also knows her father very well, knowing that he would not do this.
The fact is also the same. All the reasons of the accusing party are all fabricated out of thin air, and there is no basis at all. The same is true in the final trial. Because the reasons are too absurd, even the judge who was bribed It is really impossible to judge Joanna in front of so many people for the crimes of the deceased captain of the Imperial Navy who thought she had made great achievements.
However, it was clear that the other party did not intend to give up, and this time, the target was directed at Joanna herself.
Although Joanna is a lieutenant in the army, since it is the era of colonial expansion, all European countries attach great importance to the development of the navy, so when Joanna joined the army, she was only a trainee officer in the navy. However, the person who accused her did not know who it was. In short, Joanna received a notice from the military investigation, saying that when she was a trainee in the navy, she bribed officers, and because of her personal fault, a battle ended The failure ended, and it was said to be a failure, but in fact it was just a ship that fell silent.
Joanna felt very angry about this, not to mention herself, even if she wanted to bribe the officer, with her father's incomparably clean official style, her family didn't have any extra money to spend on it. In that failed battle, the silent ship was created out of nothing.
There was indeed a warship that was silent during the battle, but it was for the purpose of encircling and suppressing pirates. After the investigation, it was clear that the reason for the silence of the ship was not human factors, but because the environment of the battle at that time was very harsh. Unfamiliar area, because of the tentacles of the hull caused by the battle to avoid enemy shelling, which caused the silence.
This has nothing to do with Joanna at all, not to mention that Joanna was not on that boat at all, and even she herself never participated in that battle.
However, it is obvious that the army is dirtier and more unfair than the courts. Since there are no military courts in this era, the trials and investigations of military officers are all investigated and judged by internal personnel in the army. After all, , It is up to the military to decide whether you are guilty or not.
And in this way, the military naturally doesn't have to face the people at all, and there is no need to estimate the problem of face. The person who has received the money can make any judgment he thinks is feasible, and there is no need to explain it at all. What's more, although Joanna has a noble title recognized by the empire, after all, her position in the army is too humble, and she herself has nothing to do with being able to get rid of all this.
Joanna visited countless people in those days, hoping to get help and clear her innocence, but no one had a reason to help her.
In the end, it was obvious that Joanna's crimes were confirmed. She lost her official position and the house left by her ancestors. The "cousin" of the blood relationship.
As for these, Joanna herself was actually able to accept them, but what made her saddest was that her frail mother, after receiving the news, fell ill and passed away within a few days.
And here, fate has not let go of Joanna, who has lost everything and is in extreme grief.
Now that she has been convicted of a crime, she must be punished. If the crime Joanna was convicted of, she would have been executed immediately. Even if she survived, she would at least be imprisoned. But this At that time, it was the time of colonial expansion, and the Portuguese royal family needed more people to serve themselves.
Therefore, Joanna escaped by luck, but was given a more cruel treatment by fate.
Portugal is now carrying out colonial aggression against India, and the country is constantly sending troops there to fight against local dynasties, large and small, and Joanna was downgraded to a soldier at the bottom of the army, becoming a stormtrooper. In fact, she was sent to India to be cannon fodder. In that environment, people who can live for the first half of the year can already be said to have the favor of God, and as a woman, Joanna , the danger is even greater, she not only has to be on guard against the enemy's attack, but also the threat from her own camp.
After Zhang Fan listened to Wang Xiliang's narration, although he was a little embarrassed, he was also very helpless. Throughout the ages, this kind of thing is too common, and what happened to Joanna can be regarded as the best. After being executed, although it was said that she would start to live in such a life of constant crisis from now on, Zhang Fan couldn't help her.
But when it comes to this, I have to mention one point. Although Zhang Fan didn't know that Joanna had a good impression of him at the time, he didn't feel any dislike for this woman, but what he said now was of no avail. up.
"I sympathize with her," Zhang Fan said, "but I still don't understand, although she is indeed proficient in naval warfare, what does it have to do with us?"
"Beizhi knows the future plans of adults, so I know that adults like her will be needed in the future," Wang Xiliang said, "So I went to find her after the incident, and hoped that she would come back with us. Moreover, Portugal, whether it is the royal family or the imperial court, treated our Ming Dynasty with great courtesy. If she were hidden on our ship, she would never be discovered.
"However, she rejected the invitation of the humble job. She said that it is not hopeless now, and she is still looking for opportunities, but she did not completely reject the humble job. She said that if she can survive this year, she will Will be waiting for us in Goa, Tianzhu, and will bring us a great gift,"
Hearing what he said, Zhang Fan already understood in his heart that it seemed impossible for Joanna to seek justice, and whether he could see this Western woman again would depend on how well she Is it lucky to be able to survive,
Indeed, it is not difficult for a person to surrender to the enemy and traitor to the country, but it also depends on the occasion, and why Joanna came to the Ming Dynasty from a thousand miles away, it is better to choose a country to join, not to mention that this is the East after all. , not to mention the different races, even the living habits and folk customs are quite different.
