Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 122 We just want to live
The biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty and the modern time in dealing with prisoners is that the Ming Dynasty can torture prisoners at will, while the ancients were really varied and inhumane in the way of punishment.

No prisoner can resist a severe torture.

If there is, then have another meal.

The person on the ship who pretended to be the Eastern Ying mission was a tough one, and he couldn't stand his mouth after the second torture.

At first, he shouted that he was a member of the Dongying mission, how could he know the information Zhu Zhanchang and Zheng He had, it was useless to call, he left Zhoushan Island, and now he is floating on the sea, no one can help him.

humane?I'm sorry, this is the high seas, even if Chow Yun-fat comes, I can't help you.

Zhu Zhanchang walked into the cabin, the man was beaten to the point where his flesh and blood were blurred, and there were only a few good spots on his body, so Chu Er dared not look directly at him.

"His Royal Highness, the tools on board are limited. It took so long to pry the opening. Don't be surprised." The executioner said apologetically.

Is this something to apologize for?
Looking at the person who had no good skin on his body, Zhu Zhanchang couldn't get used to seeing this bloody scene. After all, he was an innocent young man who couldn't even watch plasma movies.

"What did you explain?"

"This person is not a Dongying person at all, but a military household on Zhoushan Island. He said that it was the Dongying mission that Chen Baiyue asked him to pretend to be."

"Chen Baiyue, a thousand households in Zhoushan, teamed up with the great pirate Wang Baoyu and the Japanese pirate Yamamoto 62, intending to stir up the situation at sea. The Dongying Mission to Beijing was sent by these people to fake it. In order to prevent anyone from investigating, he was asked to pretend to be the single Dongying Mission. "

Zheng He said disdainfully: "Wishful thinking."

He said so, but he also knew that if it was true, the number of this group of people above the sea was already a force to be reckoned with. Even if they attacked the coast of our country, a breakthrough might be opened.

"Master Zheng, who are Yamamoto 62 and Wang Baoyu?"

Another member of Zheng He's fleet understood these things better and came forward to explain.

"Wang Baoyu was a pirate who made his fortune in the Northeast Seas. He was famous for his ruthlessness. When he was in the Northeast Seas, he plundered North Korea and other places all year round. This man was arrogant. Generally, they don't leave a living room, but they are also very smart. They are all picking up soft persimmons, and they will never conflict directly with our army."

"The captured women will be sold by him after being insulted in the end. There are a lot of dirty activities under their hands, and a group of vicious people under their hands, including Daming pirates, as well as Dongying, North Korea, and all over the place, the number of people. It should be over a thousand."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanchang frowned, this person is a ruthless character, and he is the worst kind.

"As for this Yamamoto 62, it is a group of forces that appeared a few years ago. It is said that the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Dongying had confronted each other for many years. In the end, the Northern Dynasty won. Pirates are different, they don’t burn and kill many, they like to plunder Japanese merchant ships, they do a lot of smuggling, and their personnel are like an army, probably more than 62.”

Such two big pirates joined forces, and the number of them was much larger than that of ordinary guards, and there were many desperadoes among them, and they couldn't do anything crazy.

Several important towns along the coast of our army can stop this group of people, but the weaker places may really be occupied by them.

They want to provoke disputes between the two countries by assassinating the prince with the fake Dongying embassy.

It is a pity that the other two big pirates and Chen Baiyue, a thousand households, do not understand the etiquette of exchanges between countries. If you want to stir up the situation, it is not so simple to plan an assassination full of loopholes.

There is no shortage of such careerists in every era. What they need is that the whole situation is in chaos. If there is no chaos, they will have no chance. Only when the situation changes will they have the opportunity to be on the stage of history.

Zhu Zhanchang said coldly: "Planning an assassination, provoking a war, you people are really wishful thinking, this little trick is really ridiculous."

Zheng He sat down and asked: "Boldly rebel against the thieves, intending to join forces with Japanese pirates to invade Daming, and the crime should be punished. All the military households on Zhoushan Island should have defected with the thousands of households Chen Baiyue, and they are all villains without a king and no father. , Your Highness, this minister is ready to advocate Dangqing rebellion on his own."

"Hmph, rebel, ridiculous, ridiculous." The man covered in blood sneered.

"If it weren't for the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court, which was ignoring my life and death, why would I be under the control of Japanese pirates?"

Zheng He said coldly, "No need to say more for a traitor and a boneless person. Let someone throw it into the sea to feed the sharks."

"Slow." Zhu Zhanchang stretched out his hand to signal to stop.

"Your Highness, this person is worthless."

"I have something to ask."

The man was dragged back again, and when he heard Zheng He called His Highness Zhu Zhanchang, he looked at Zhu Zhanchang with his swollen eyes.

"His Royal Highness, which Highness is this, bah." His face was full of disdain.

A mouthful of blood flew towards Zhu Zhanchang, and Xiaosheng stood in front of Zhu Zhanchang, but the prisoner, who had no strength, fell on the floor without even spitting out his saliva.

"Bold." Xiaosheng was furious, and stepped forward and slapped the man in the face.

Looking at Xiaosheng's fair face, the man sneered: "You are a eunuch, you don't have the strength to beat people, you really are not a man."

There are quite a few eunuchs here, including Xiaosheng, Zheng He, and several of Zheng He's subordinates. There are also good eunuchs and bad eunuchs.

Xiaosheng's anger surged, and he was about to start again.

"Protecting the family and defending the country is a good man, and seeing death as home is a good man. Those who bow down to Japanese pirates are not considered men." Zhu Zhanchang said.

"You fart, you little brat doesn't understand at all!" the man suddenly shouted in anger.

Xiaosheng walked back to Zhu Zhanchang's side, looked at the man with indifference, and said softly, "A man is a man, a man who has no bones and no shame is not a man, although I am a eunuch, I despise people like you. For the team."

When a eunuch he thought was not a man said so, the man shouted angrily: "It's your high officials, what's your Highness's fault, if it wasn't for you, why would we bow our heads to the pirates and pirates." He coughed out a mouthful of blood.

"Did the imperial court make you betray? I made you betray?" Zhu Zhanchang asked in return.

"The Ming Dynasty was incompetent, retreated to Zhejiang, abandoned the country, abandoned the people, and let us suffer the intrusion of pirates, Japanese pirates, no material supplies, no army replenishment, what can we do? Our fishermen dare not go out to sea to fish, and our children dare not live there. Playing at the beach, Daming is incompetent!"

"Bold madman!" Xiaosheng felt that he was being cynical.

Zhu Zhanchang's expression did not change: "How did you get in touch with these pirates and pirates?"

"How can we still contact Wang Baoyu and Yamamoto 62 with thousands of people coming to attack us? Give up the surrounding small islands to Japanese pirates and pirates."

"Why don't you report the information to the court and let the court send someone to support it."

"Haha, cough cough..."

"The imperial court, the imperial court, how many times have we asked the imperial court for support before, has anyone come from the imperial court? The imperial court is just giving some supplies in a symbolic way. The imperial court does not want us anymore, it gives up on us, the imperial court does not want Zhoushan Island anymore."

The words are like needles, and Zhu Zhanchang is helpless. The court's coastal defense policy is indeed to abandon the offshore islands. He is right.

However, as long as Zhoushan Island still has the establishment of the guardhouse, it should not be without replenishment of materials and personnel. There may be problems here.

"Who are the coastal defense personnel who are docking with you?"

"Xiangshan guardhouse."

Zhu Zhanchang first silently recorded the guardhouse in his heart, and then asked, "How many Japanese pirates and pirates are there on the island now?"

"I don't know, there should be six or seven hundred, scattered on the surrounding islands, Chen Qianhu won't let them go to Zhoushan Island."

"Are they obedient?"

"Of course they want to land on the island, but if they land on the island, Chen Qianhu will lead troops to resist. They want to be stationed in the outer islands, so they agree to be stationed on the outer islands, but if all their troops come over by then, Chen Qianhu will definitely be there. There is no way."

"It's a sure-fire way of delaying the army. Are you stupid or bad? Japanese pirates and pirates are stationed nearby. One day they will go to Zhoushan Island, or you have planned to join them and become pirates."

"How could we join the pirates? We fought Japanese pirates and pirates all our lives. My father and my grandfather were killed by pirates!" The man said a little excited here.

"No, just from the fact that Chen Baiyue helped the pirates Yuan Yuan, the Eastern Ying mission, it can be seen that you guys are against your will. You are ready to become a member of the Japanese pirates."

"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense." The man retorted angrily.

"Then let me ask you, is it Yamamoto 62's idea, Wang Baoyu's idea, or your Chen Qianhu's idea to let you pretend to be a Japanese mission, and to pretend to be so hungry?"

"Yes..., yes..." He faltered but couldn't answer.

"It was your Chen Qianhu's idea."

Silence means acknowledgment.

Zheng He asked: "Perhaps from the very beginning, Chen Baiyue was not driven by helplessness, but revolted. This is just an opportunity. Even if this opportunity doesn't exist, Chen Baiyue will find the next opportunity, and so do you guys. In the same way, if you hate Japanese pirates from the bottom of your heart, would you cooperate with them?"

"I..., what can I do?" The man's grievance and anger stuck in his throat.

Zheng He stood in front of him, looking down at him with contempt: "I went to the West, our fleet soldiers encountered countless temptations and threats, but they would not give in even if they stood to die, and the soldiers in the north also In the battle for the country, no one ever bowed his knees to a foreigner, and no one ever was greedy for life and feared death."

The man looked up at Zheng He's contemptuous eyes, and with the last strength of his body, he almost shouted, "We just want to live!!"
