The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 222 Interrogating the Captive
Under the cover of [-] musketeers under Gou'er's command and a temporary infantry archer under Han Kuan's one small banner, the heavy infantry of Cao Hucheng's two small banners jumped to seize the ship.

No, it's not the jumping gang. The heavy infantry is too heavy to jump up. They put down the three-foot-long springboard on both sides of the bow that looks like a drawbridge, with palladium nails on the front end, and walk onto the enemy ship.

None of the pirates were foolish enough to resist stubbornly, and they were all honestly captured. They knew that the general situation was over, and resistance would at most cause limited casualties to the Ming army, which would not help.

If the Ming army was angered, they might be stabbed with a knife. Some people were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that life would be worse than death. The pirates chose to resign themselves to their fate.

There was also a fleeing pirate ship that was chased and beaten by the No. [-] Fuchuan-class warships 'Liaoyang' and 'Haizhou' with twelve-pound rifled guns on the bow. The pirates had no fighting spirit.

Suddenly, three straw boats surrounded by "Gaizhou", "Jinzhou", and "Fuzhou" came in front of them and fired nine-pound rifled guns on the bow.

The fighting power of the pirate ship was not even comparable to that of a Huangjiacao boat. Now they were beaten by five Ming army warships and beaten by five rifled guns. How could they bear it.

The mast of the Japanese pirate Zhuyin warship was broken, the artillery was knocked over in half, and the deck was a mess. Several pirates who were splashed with miscellaneous nails and covered their bodies but did not die rolled and wailed on the deck, tearing their hearts.

It is impossible to escape, and the Japanese pirates who are very knowledgeable about current affairs also chose to pull out the crotch cloth in their trousers, crying and waving at the warships of the Ming army. captured.

After picking up the two Japanese pirate Zhuyin ships that were trying to escape, it was easier to turn around and deal with the pirate ship that had lost its power and was thrown in the middle. It was even easier to let the pirates who had surrendered shout out. When the Ming army caught it, they immediately raised their hands and surrendered.

The Zhuyin ship suffered the heaviest casualties. When it was covered by explosive shells, many pirates were at the gun positions on the deck, ready to fire, and the sailors were also manipulating the sails. The splashed shrapnel caused injuries to all of them, and more than half of them were killed on the spot. .

In the first battle at sea, three Zhuyin boats were seized, one hundred and one ronin and sailors were captured, and a half of them were wounded. Master Huang will not be satisfied with such a result. This is the appetizer. A stream of pirates.

More than 100 captives have been captured, will the pirates' lair still be able to hide?For pirates of this scale, how much property should they hide?My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Escort all the captives to the platform where the owner is located, which is composed of dozens of horse boats and warships. Huang Dongshan, Gou'er, Lu Chengzu and other most experienced officers led the musketeers to separate them one by one. trial.

Before the questioning, gather the pirate captives to give a lecture. The content is to answer all the questions honestly. This is the only way to save your life. Whoever dares to hide something or lie will be killed without mercy.

This is the rule of the Huang family, and it will never be punished without teaching, giving everyone a chance, even the damned people like Japanese pirates and pirates.

The three musketeers interrogated one person meticulously. For those who could not speak Chinese, Ruan Dan, Shang Muming and their students helped to translate. Liu Guozheng and a dozen sailors who Huang Sheng rescued from the pirate's lair last time also came to help.

Liu Guozheng and the others had spent some time in the pirate's lair, so they were familiar with the characteristics of pirates and could speak half-baked Japanese.

In exchange for the fatigue offensive of the chief interrogator's uninterrupted interrogation, those pirates who might be able to withstand the beating were exhausted by the non-stop questioning, and the final answers were all conditioned reflexes.

The supreme commander of the presiding trial, Huang Dongshan, began to complete the records, and then made a statement one by one. Those who dared to lie were immediately tied up and thrown aside, waiting for them to end badly.

The Huang family is the teacher of civilization, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. They will definitely not do cruel things that will be punished without teaching.

Most of the pirates chose to live and answer the questions honestly. There were more than a dozen stubborn and decapitated. When the Huang family killed them, they gathered the captives again and told everyone how these people lied to deceive the great Ming officials. .

They were also given a chance to defend themselves. In the end, the dozen or so pirates who wanted to fool around knew they had made a mistake and kowtowed their heads to beg for mercy. Unfortunately, it was too late. The Huang family only gave them one chance, go and reincarnate and come back again!

After killing more than a dozen people and continuing the interrogation, the Huang family has begun to change from a rough line to a meticulous one. People are like this. If the defense line in their hearts collapses, they will not defend themselves.

The situation of this band of pirates was completely controlled by the private soldiers of the Huang family. There were actually two of their lairs, one was on a small island called Zuoqian Island to the east of Naliu Island, and the other was on an island called Xiaoyan Island to the west of Xun Island.

How many pirates there are, how many ships, how many cannons are asked clearly.The terrain of mountains and rivers was also made into a sand table for the pirates to point out one by one.

No one dared to play tricks anymore. The pirates were not stupid. They knew that what was fake would be fake after all. They still had more than eighty people. As long as one person told the truth, the Ming army would get everything they wanted.

Everyone lies together, unless there is collective training, obviously the pirates have not conducted anti-criminal investigation training, and it is impossible to have a unified understanding of them with a unified caliber.

The scale of this group of pirates is medium, and there are seven warships of the same level as the Zhuyin Ship, and dozens of other small ships have no combat effectiveness and can be ignored.

It's just that no one can say whether the pirate ships are all at the home port, and it is impossible to confirm which of the two home ports they are at.

Both home ports have a fort with three Hongyi cannons, all of which are twelve-pound copper-core iron cannons. Because the waterway entering the home port is narrow, the three cannons are capable of destroying warships that cannot pass through the waterway quickly.

The name of the Hongyi Cannon was later changed by the evil Man Qing, because the barbarian taboo barbarian, the word "Yi" was changed to the nondescript red "clothes" cannon.

The situation is clear, and the next step is to expand the results of the battle, rob and increase income. The Huang family is eagerly waiting for this moment.

The capture of three Zhuyin boats earned more than 10 taels of silver, and the property on board was 8000 taels. This group of pirates has been doing business without capital for more than ten years. It should have grown from a fishing boat to the current scale. Accumulated a lot of wealth.

The Huang family musketeers are still interrogating the pirate prisoners separately, recording everything they know about the lair.Even how many warehouses there are and how many people are there are asked in detail.

It is a consensus to eat this pirate, and it is no problem to take down the pirate's lair. How to exchange for the least cost is the topic.

Huang Sheng decided to fight the rabbit with the lion, and attack with the whole army, attacking one by one.None of the enemies slipped through the net, and the pirate lair had no way of knowing that they were being targeted.

Don't worry, the Huang family's fleet will first go to Li Guozhu's private port to unload the cargo, and then start robbing pirates to make money.

After a year, Li Guozhu saw Mr. Huang again, he was a little at a loss, this Ming official brought so many warships, it seems possible to eat his own territory with his strength!

Fortunately, the guests who came here knew the rules very well. None of their warships entered the port, but let the No. [-] Fuchuan and horse boats without force enter the port for trading.
