0238 Captives
At this time, Liu Pei found that there was still a person soaking in the sea not far away, and this person was the big boss of this group of shouting bigmouth sharks! After receiving the order, the family members responded quickly. The Zhenyuan was the first to lower its sails, and the sails of the pirate ship were also lowered by the family. The two bundled boats were completely anchored at sea, swaying slightly with the surging waves.
Under the command of Wu Yizhou, the family members began to search the entire ship. The first thing that started was to clean up the deck of corpses. By this time the musketeers had already jumped on their bayonets. They poked all the corpses and threw them directly into the sea with their hands or feet. The axemen inspect those who can scream and move. If their injuries are salvageable, they will be towed aboard the Zhenyuan for treatment. As for those who are too seriously injured, they will be hacked to death with an axe and thrown into the sea.
As for the composition of the Japanese Invaders, the ancients have long been clearly recorded, for example, in the "History of the Ming Dynasty: This Biography" says: "About three out of ten true Japanese people, seven out of ten from the Japanese people." "Jiajing Record" also said: "Gaijiangnan Coast Guard, the Japanese are thirteen, and the Chinese rebel is seventeen." ”
Therefore, the statement that the Japanese in the middle of the Ming Dynasty were mainly themselves is simply nonsense. There are three main reasons for this confusion: First, there were indeed Japanese pirates in the middle of the Ming Dynasty
The main reason for the outbreak of the Japanese was the policy problems of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang not only imposed heavy taxes on Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but also strictly implemented the maritime policy of "no piece of board can go to sea" because of his resentment against Zhang Shicheng of coastal residents and his preference for agriculture. This made the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who had always made a living from foreign trade and commerce, immediately fall into poverty.
Finally, after 8 years of tug-of-war, the Ming Dynasty finally decided to open the port of Yuegang in Fujian as a pilot area for trade. Due to the legal trade channels, the rebellion quickly subsided, and those who did not have the support of the Ming Dynasty were quickly exterminated by Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and others. It can be seen that it is advisable to be sparse and not blocked, which is always the wise saying of governing the country and the country.
Liu Pei leaned down and picked up a knife from a corpse on the ground, and found that the knife was well maintained. At least the edge is still sharp, and there is no rust. It seems that these pirates are still focused on fighting.
This is the normal rule. At the beginning of the establishment of the navy, Liu Pei emphasized that the biggest person on board the ship is the captain. Even the head of the house must obey the captain's commands. This is also one of the traditions of the Navy.
All people must be one person at the core and work together tightly to survive the stormy seas. Therefore, any questioning and sluggishness of the captain's orders may cause huge losses, or even the destruction of the ship! So the captain's position on the ship is supreme!
So the interesting thing happened. It is impossible for two people to be called captains at the same time on a ship of the Navy. But in English, captain and captain are one word. So in the old days, if a captain officer who was also part of the navy boarded another ship, then all the captains would be demoted in title and called lieutenants. If a captain officer boarded a Navy ship, out of respect, all captains were promoted in title and were called major. The most interesting thing is that if a captain is on board another ship, and his position is captain, then the captain of this ship will be honored as a brigadier general!
Just as Liu Pei was looking around, Wu Yizhou came over and asked quietly: "Family master, let's interrogate these pirates well, maybe we have a chance to break the pirates' lair and make a lot of money!" ”
Wu Yizhou said: "Judging from the dilapidated degree of this ship, this group of pirates should not be a powerful person, and it is estimated that there will not be too many people. Now that they have been killed and injured by us, it is estimated that the lair may be empty. ”
Wu Yizhou nodded and immediately went to make arrangements. Liu Pei turned back and said, "Let him look up." The man who suppressed the largemouth shark grabbed him by the hair and pulled it back, forcing the largemouth fork to look up. Liu Pei leaned slightly, stared at the terrified eyes of the largemouth shark and said, "What's your name?" ”
