At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

The Ming army's momentum was like a rainbow, and they broke through the city in an instant.

After counting the battlefield, a deputy general came forward to report that a total of [-] enemies were killed in this battle and more than [-] people were captured.

Jing Yuan was very dissatisfied with this result, and asked, "How could there be only one hundred and ten people in such a huge village? Did you not search carefully?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, I have led people to search carefully, and indeed there are only these people."

"Are you sure you searched everything?"

"Confirmation is correct, all have been searched!"

"That's all right, bring the prisoners up, and the Marquis will personally interrogate him!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, several ragged prisoners were escorted over.

Jing Yuan's eyes were narrowed, and his face was filled with a murderous look. They were so frightened that they trembled and kowtowed like garlic.

One of them seemed to be the leader, and said in blunt Chinese: "Please, sir, please spare our dog's life..."

Jing Yuan and Yu Qian looked at each other, and their faces became gloomy at the same time.

Because they could tell from this person's accent that this person was not a Mongolian, but a Japanese!

How could there be Japanese people in this place?

What kind of relationship do they have with the remnants of the Tatars?
Jing Yuan looked at these people up and down, they were dressed in rags, some had bare arms, their lips were blue from the cold, they looked worse than beggars.

Moreover, their stature is short, at least a head shorter than normal people.

Speaking of which, people in the Central Plains can be tall, short, fat or thin, and there are not a few people who are short and thin. However, people who are generally short like them seem to be completely different things.

Jing Yuan's expression darkened immediately, and he said, "If you want to spare your dog's life, you have to see if you can provide valuable information!"

When the man heard that there was hope for his life, he kowtowed even harder: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

"Stop talking nonsense, talk!"

"Yes, yes... The younger one is called Kameda Yuzo, and he is a subordinate of the Japanese daimyo Mori Nobu..."

"What did you say?"

Jing Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide and angry, and said: "Waguo is Waguo, Daming is Daming, what does Waguo Daming mean?"

Kameda Yuzo hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "No, it's not Daming... the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom is the guardian daimyo..."

Jing Yuan was even more furious, and said: "My Daming is a kingdom of heaven, why should you wait for a rat to protect it? You, the grandson of a turtle, actually insulted my Daming? Someone, drag him out, chop him up, and throw him into the sea. bastard!"

"It's not Daming, it's Daming..."

Kameda Yousanjian was so anxious that tears flowed down his face. His Chinese was half-baked, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he had to beg for mercy repeatedly.

The left and right guards couldn't help but drag him out.

The others didn't seem to understand Chinese, but seeing the angry coach of the opposing team and Yusan Kameda pissing off, they knew that something was wrong, so they all lay on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to speak out.

"Forgive your life, spare your life..."

Kameda Yousan was so frightened that he had no choice but to beg for mercy feebly.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, Yu Qian, who was watching coldly from the side, spoke.

Jing Yuan was still angry: "Master Yu, this son of a bitch insulted me, Daming..."

Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "He's not talking about Daming, but Daming!"

"Is there any difference?"

Jing Yuan's face was stunned, and he thought he heard it wrong.

Yu Qian had no choice but to explain: "The name of this Japanese country is just a title. Their landlords are named masters, and the big landlords are called masters of the name. While owning a large amount of land, they also have their own armed forces. You can understand it as a vassal town or warlord who ruled one side. , the more powerful you are, the more powerful you are."

"Yes, yes...that's..."

Kameda Yousan cried and cried, and finally saw the hope of survival.

Jing Yuan glared at him dissatisfied, and said, "Damn it, why didn't you say it clearly?"

Kameda Youzo dared not say anything, so he kowtowed on the ground.

Jing Yuan waved his hand at him and said, "Okay, you can continue talking, that hairy thing..."

Kameda Yuzo hurriedly said: "The villain is under the Japanese daimyo Mo Lixin."

"What is the origin of this Maori letter?"

"It was one of the ten great names of the Wa country, and later, later..."

"What happened later? Why didn't you stay in your country of Wa, but ran to this bitter cold place in the extreme north, colluded with the Tatars, and worked hand in hand!"

"Wait...can't wait anymore..."

Tomosan Guitian said with a bitter face, "Many famous names in the Wa Kingdom fought with each other. General Mori Nobu was in full swing, but he was... suppressed by General Shiheng of the Celestial Dynasty and forced to leave his homeland..."

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Jing Yuan slapped the table and scolded, "When did I, Ming, interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?"

"Ah, this..."

"It must be Mao Lixin who did evil. Shi Heng, as my envoy sent by Daming to the Wa Kingdom, should have disciplined him when he encountered injustice, right?"

Kameda Yusan opened his mouth wide and murmured: "Yes, it's... General Shiheng of the Celestial Dynasty. After he... he took control, General Mori Shinobu sought other..."

Jing Yuan said impatiently: "Don't talk about it, just tell me directly, how did that Mao Lixin collude with the Tatar Ministry?"

Kameda Yuzo swallowed, and said, "It's General Morisin who contacted the Tatar Ministry."

"what?"

"It's true, the villain dare not lie. The Tatars were short of supplies in the far north, so they sent some people out to seek trade. General Maori smuggled some food and cloth for them. Later, the general lost power. The Tatars came to win them over, and then... came here..."

"Humph!"

Jing Yuan snorted suddenly, and said, "Do you think you can deceive people with these words?"

"It's not a lie, it's all the truth..."

"Let me ask you, why did your Mao Lixin come here?"

"General Maori can't stay here any longer..."

"Even if you want to leave the Wa country, it's not good to go anywhere, but you have to come to this ghost place. Damn, this place is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there is not even a hair. What do you think he is planning?"

Kameda Yuzo said blankly, "I don't know either!"

"Still being stubborn, aren't you?"

Jing Yuan sneered, and said: "Come here, drag him out and beat him, let's see how hard his mouth is!"

"Forgive your life, spare your life..."

Kameda Yuzo kowtowed like pounding garlic, and was pushed out by two guards in armor, one on the left and one on the right.

Immediately afterwards, there was a heart-piercing cry from outside.

Jing Yuan looked at Yu Qian and asked, "Yu Shangshu, what do you think?"

Yu Qian had been listening carefully, and said at this time: "I don't think he's lying. There should be some kind of agreement between the Maori and the Tatars. It's normal for people not to know about this kind of thing."

"Then...bring him back for another trial?"

"Don't worry, call first, maybe he really has something to hide!"

Jing Yuan looked outside and said, "Looking at this turtle's body, he probably won't be able to hold it for a while."

Yu Qian pointed to a group of captives curled up like quails in front of him, and said, "There are so many more, one can't be beaten alone, and the others watch the fun, right?"

Jing Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Come here!"

The guards came to the front and pulled all the prisoners out according to Jing Yuan's instructions.

Then all the tattered clothes on these people were stripped off, in groups of two, one pressed down, and the other picked up a stick and beat them violently.

All of a sudden, cries and begging for mercy rang out, and Tomosan Kameda let out howls like killing a pig.

In extremely cold weather, let alone being beaten, even standing naked can freeze into ice cubes.

The soldiers beat people really hard, and when they came down with a stick, they saw blood directly.

It's no wonder that everyone is suffocating in their hearts. If it weren't for these people's secret plots, who would come to fight in the ice and snow?

Isn't it delicious to eat barbecue around the campfire on a cold day?

The more people thought about it, the angrier they became, and their attacks became more and more ruthless.

Kill you bastards!

After a quarter of an hour, the screams became noticeably less.

Because half of the more than 30 people had been beaten to death, and the remaining half had no strength to call again.

When Kameda Yuzo appeared in front of Jing Yuan again, his buttocks had already been beaten to pieces, and it was covered in blood.

Even he couldn't walk at all, and was carried in by two Ming soldiers.

"Master, please forgive me..."

"What conspiracy is there between you and the Tartars, say!"

Kameda Yuzo panted heavily, and said intermittently: "I don't... I don't know..."

Jing Yuan suddenly laughed, and said, "It's a tough one to return his mother!"

"Master, I really don't know..."

Jingyuan looked at Yu Qian, the two looked at each other and nodded, it was obvious that this Kameda Yuzo did not lie, and there were some things he didn't know at all.

"Well, tell me, what do you know?"

Hope rose again in Kameda Yusan's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "The younger one has followed General Maori for many years, and he also understands Chinese. The general gave the younger one a position, mainly responsible for the logistics support on the island."

Jing Yuan asked, "How many people are there?"

"About 600 people."

"Where are the people?"

"General Maori took 500 people to sea, and the remaining 100 people were old, weak, sick and disabled, and stayed to guard the island."

"Since you said that you are in charge of logistics, what do these 600 people usually eat?"

The place is covered with ice and snow all the year round, so it is impossible to grow food, and there are very few animals living on the island. If you want to make a living by hunting, you can do it with 50 people, but if you want to feed an army of 600 people, it is simply a dream.

Kameda Yuzo said: "We have food."

Jing Yuan frowned immediately and asked, "Where does the food come from?"

"Smuggled... from Daming territory!"

"What did you say?"

Jing Yuan stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, stared at him closely, and asked, "Say it again!"

Kameda Yousan cried and said, "It's all contacted by General Mori. I only know that the food is smuggled from merchants in Daming territory. As for the identity and name of this person, I really don't know..."

Jing Yuan said in a deep voice, "Even if it's smuggled, it's impossible for someone to give it away for free. What kind of deal do you use?"

"No...don't know..."

Igen was black and black, with murderous look in his eyes, and Kameda Yuzo was trembling with fright.

"I really don't know. Those people were all contacted by General Maori. I only know that some people will regularly deliver food. Others...General Maori won't tell us..."

"Have you ever met the person who brought you food?"

"I've seen it!"

Kameda Yuzo nodded vigorously, and said: "I have dealt with one of their managers. Every time the ship arrives, we have to unload the cargo."

"What's the name of the person in charge?"

"I only know his surname is Wang, we all call him Manager Wang."

"What does this person look like?"

"Tall, a little thin, um... By the way, there is a scar on my face, here it is!"

Kameda Yuzo stretched out his hand and gestured at the corner of his right eye, but his buttocks were full of blood, which touched the wound all of a sudden, grinning in pain.

Jing Yuan made a note of it secretly, and asked again: "Tell me again, where did you take that Mao Li?"

"General Maori didn't say anything when he left, but it was a little strange that he took all the boats with him."

"How many ships are there?"

"A total of 34 ships, large and small, can accommodate 2000 people. There are only 500 people around the general. I feel... There are other people on these ships."

"Who? A Tartar?"

"Yes, it's the Tatars, and there may also be Jurchens."

"Jurchen?"

Jing Yuan raised his head again and looked at Yu Qian with surprise in his eyes.

Kameda Youzo continued: "There are not only Tatars and Jurchens on the island, but also barbarians from the Yaksha Kingdom."

Jing Yuan felt more and more unbelievable, and asked again: "How many people are there in total?"

Kameda Youzo thought for a while, and said: "We only have six hundred here, there are many Tatars, it is said that there are several thousand, and the Jurchens have about two thousand. I don't know about the Yasha Kingdom, but their leader is called Kuliman."

Jing Yuan frowned and asked, "Before Maori left the island, were all these people on the island?"

"Yes, but not many!"

Curry nodded, shook his head again, and said, "There are only about a thousand Tatars and five hundred Jurchens."

Jing Yuan thought of what he said just now, all the ships together can accommodate roughly 2000 people.

This number can be matched, but where did these people go by boat?

Kameda Yuzo seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Tutuobuhua leads the Tatar team, and Hezhe leads the Jurchen team. These two are the biggest leaders of their respective tribes. If you want to come, the people you bring are also elite. "

Jing Yuan was even more puzzled. In this way, the Tatars, Jurchens, and Japanese people united and sent [-] elites to sea, and the leaders of their respective tribes personally led the team.

The leader of the Tatars is Tutuobuhua. There is nothing to say about this, everyone knows it.

The leader of the Jurchens, He Zhe, is not well-known, and his status is roughly equivalent to that of Tuotuobuhua.

On the Japanese side is Mao Lixin. In this way, all the leaders of their respective tribes lead the team in person!

Jing Yuan suddenly realized that the situation seemed to be more serious than he had expected. There must be a conspiracy when these people gathered together.

"You just mentioned the Tatars and the Jurchens, why is there no Yaksha country?"

"General Maori has indeed received several messengers from the Yasha Kingdom, but those people have already left."

"Where did you go?"

"It should be back to the Yaksha country..."

Jing Yuan asked again: "When did the 30-odd ships set off?"

Kameda Yousan thought hard, and said, "I can't remember, it's been about ten days..."
