Chapter 184: Seppuku requires a sense of ritual
After taking the North Korean officers and soldiers into custody and counting the losses, Wang Rulong took a small boat and came to Jinke's boat.
Jin Ke waited for Wang Rulong on the deck, wearing the same blue-black skit, with a gold star embroidered on his left chest.
According to the "Regulations on the Rank of Security Personnel" promulgated by Jiangnan Security Group, the titles of the group's security personnel are divided into two types: 'command rank' and 'police officer rank'.
The rank of police officer is divided into three classes and eleven grades, such as police officer, sergeant and sergeant major, and is awarded to grassroots security guards. The command rank is also divided into three levels, including police superintendent, police inspector and superintendent, and is awarded to command and management personnel. Police officers should obey the orders of the commander in charge and take the initiative to salute the commander. Among police officers and commanders, those with higher ranks are superiors, and subordinates should take the initiative to salute their superiors.
A gold star represents the rank of junior superintendent. It is also the current highest position of Jiangnan Security Group.
Wang Rulong is one level lower than Jinke, and the three silver stars on his chest represent the rank of senior police inspector. The three iron stars of Nahaiergo represent the rank of senior superintendent.
Wang Rulong put his heels together and beat his chest with his right hand, saluting Jinke.
After Jin Ke returned the salute, he saw that Wang Rulong's face was not good, so he asked, "What?" Is the loss huge? ”
"Eight brothers were killed and twenty-six wounded." Wang Rulong looked sad, as if he had lost a battle.
Although this number is placed in any army, it is negligible. But for Wang Rulong, it was a rare casualty in his career.
After all, they are Qi Jiguang, who pursues zero casualties, and is an excellent general who has been trained!
Sure enough, Jin Ke also sighed solemnly and said, "The casualties are so heavy......
"The main thing is that when the Japanese came closer, they threw torches and oil cans at our ship, and the team members were afraid that the ship would be set on fire, so they were busy putting out the fire, and even the Franc machine on the ship stopped. Without firepower, the muskets and arrows of the Japanese invaders caused a lot of casualties. ”
Wang Rulong sighed and said: "Then there is an iron cannon that blew up, killing one gunner and wounding three on the spot. The rest were hit by shells to the feet and drowned......"
"Well, it's our responsibility this time." Jin Ke touched his forehead reproachfully and said: "Although we said that from the third sea voyage, the possibility of encountering the enemy will become more and more great, but in fact we are still paralyzed." ”
"Yes, I always thought that no one would dare to covet such a large fleet of ours." Wang Rulong nodded in approval: "So it's still mainly about training recruits, and there are quite a few problems in the personnel arrangement." ”
After a pause, he said with some frustration: "Moreover, it didn't give full play to the full power of the artillery, so that the red-haired ghost could compare." ”
Wang Rulong was referring to the Battle of Futian Bay four years earlier, when the Portuguese, in retaliation for the expulsion of the Jesuit Hirado Domain, sent two armed merchant ships from their Malacca base to Japan for a punitive crusade. One of them was the larger, old-fashioned Carrak galleon, and the other was the smaller, newly-shaped galleon.
In the Hirado domain, the governor at the time, Matsuura Takanobu was young and strong, confident and steady. Upon learning of the Portuguese attack, he first contacted the Sakai merchants in the Seto Inland Sea, and on the condition that the spoils were equally divided, he received reinforcements from ten Chinese galleons.
He himself mobilized in his territory, and assembled a fleet of more than 700 Japanese and 60 warships. After the two fleets converged, they slaughtered the Portuguese with only two ships.
However, such a disparity in numbers has resulted in a brittle defeat. After a fierce battle, the Japanese killed only eight Portuguese sailors, but they themselves lost 70 people and wounded more than 200 others, and finally had to flee......
~~
Both wars were fought against the Hirado Domain, and the number of enemies was about the same, so it was possible to compare the strength of the Coast Guard and the armed Portuguese merchant ships vertically.
In Wang Rulong's opinion, although both sides lost eight people, the Portuguese only had two warships, and their own number was ten times that of the other side, so there was no doubt that they were still a lot behind the other side. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Yes, we do still have a lot of problems, and we are still far from being able to compare with the Franc machine man in naval warfare, so we must summarize and improve it." After Jin Ke finished speaking, he smiled and said: "But you can't be too strict with the people below, after all, this is a great victory of destroying a thousand enemies and capturing 600 people, so many novices who have never been on the battlefield are not easy." ”
"I know that rewards should be given, scolding, rewards and punishments are clear." Wang Rulong's expression was slightly gloomy.
"Have all the wounded been treated?" Jin Ke asked with concern again.
"Thanks to Jiangnan Hospital, the doctors and nurses trained by our security team, the injured brother was treated as soon as possible." Wang Rulong said with emotion: "Childe has never been on the battlefield, but he is more thoughtful than us. We fought like this, and we didn't have the face to explain to him. ”
"Compared to that, I guess Childe wants to know more about who attracted this group of widows." Jin Ke looked at the sea that had calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "It's all here, just come with me to interrogate the prisoners." ”
"Well, Lao Tzu is also curious to die." Wang Rulong followed Jin Ke to the stern of the ship, and pressed his fingers so clicking: "I just detained the Li Dynasty fleet and interrogated the sailor Yu Hou surnamed Pu, although that kid pushed cleanly, but seeing that his eyes were weak and his voice trembled, he definitely didn't tell the truth." ”
But after all, the other party is also a middle- and high-ranking officer of a vassal state, and it is already too much for Lao Wang to detain others, and it is not good to use torture casually without evidence. I was looking forward to asking something from the mouths of these widows, so that I could go back and cut that little Puke.
~~
Wang Rulong Jinke came to a cabin on the first floor of the stern.
There were two security guards standing guard at the door, and there was a faint sound of emotional shouting from inside the door.
Seeing the captain and deputy captain coming, the security guards immediately saluted with guns.
"Take a break." Jin Ke nodded at the two of them and said, "Open the door." ”
The security team members hurriedly opened the hatch, and when the two walked in, they saw two captives, an old man and a young prisoner, tied to the bulkhead with their hands tied behind their backs.
It was the young man in the delicate armor who was shouting, but he spoke Japanese, which Jin Ke and Wang Rulong couldn't understand at all.
The person in charge of the pre-trial was a middle-level superintendent with two iron stars on his chest, and when he saw the first and second leaders coming together, he quickly beat his chest and saluted.
"Who is he?" Wang Rulong pointed with his chin at the young man who was still whining.
"Back to the deputy captain, this person claims to be the lord of the Japanese Hirado Domain and the governor of the Matsuura family, Matsuura Zhenxin." This middle-level superintendent is called Zhen Shuang, who was the interpreter of Qi Jiajun back then, and after Qi Jiajun went north, he naturally lost his job. Later, Jinke called, and he immediately came to defect and became a staff officer of the security corps.
"Huh?" Wang Rulong couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't the lord of the Hirado domain a half-old man named Matsuura Takanobu?" ”
"Oh?" Zhen Shuang was stunned for a moment, then asked Nasongpu Town Xinyitong, and then turned around and explained: "He said that it was his father, but he became a monk last year and had passed on the throne to him." ”
"Escaped into the empty door? Autistic beaten by the Francophone man? Wang Rulong touched his red beard and gloated.
"Pretty much, they Japanese, from the emperor to the daimyo, love to play this set." Zhen Shuang is quite familiar with the situation in Japan, and said: "If you poke the basket, you will go into the wilderness, but the power is still in your own hands, and you will just retreat to become the emperor." ”
"Roar." Wang Rulong couldn't help but show off his Japanese words: "What did he shout just now?" ”
He said that a samurai could be defeated, but not humiliated! Especially a lord like him. Zhen Shuang said with an unhappy face: "He asked me to leave and let him go, and asked him to write to his father to ask for a ransom." Before waiting for the ransom to arrive, he was given a separate room with fish, white rice, and miso, and his servants were released to serve him. ”
"Do you have to arrange a few girls for you?" Wang Rulong couldn't help but laugh.
Zhen Shuang translated a sentence, and Songpu Zhenxin's face showed a foolish smile.
Who knew that the smile had not yet bloomed, but when he heard a 'bah', Wang Rulong spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on his face.
"Something that is not a person, a ghost is not a ghost! I still want to eat fish, I want to eat fart! ”
The young man had not been so humiliated, and he became angry.
"it! When you hear this, you get on fire! Wang Rulong flew up again and kicked him heavily in the stomach.
The young man screamed and bowed his body, if he wasn't wearing armor, he would have fainted.
The old man who was tied to the side, seeing this, finally couldn't help shouting: "Stop, you can't humiliate a daimyo like this!" Otherwise, he'd rather have the jade shattered! ”
"Holy shit, do you speak our Zhejiang?" Wang Rulong was taken aback.
"You Huizhou merchants of the Ming Dynasty came to us thirty years ago, using Hiradotsu as a base to engage in maritime trade. I, the old dog of the Matsuura family, raised Matsuzaburo, was in charge of Hiratotsu at the order of the lord of the feudal lord at that time, so I naturally spoke the words of the Ming Dynasty. The old man said proudly.
The young man on the side relieved himself, spat blood, and said a few words weakly.
The old man, surnamed Dog, first excitedly persuaded the young man a few words, and then shed a few tears, and then turned back and said sadly: "Our lord asks for a sword for him, and then prepares a clean room for him, and orders me to be his wrong person." ”
"What is he going to do?" Wang Rulong was stunned.
"You captured him and humiliated him, and he will kill himself by disembowelment to save the reputation of the Matsuura family!" Inu's explanation was added, and at the end, he added: "It is a great honor to be able to serve as the wrong person of the lord!" ”
"Don't come to this set." Wang Rulong rolled his eyes, and spat again: "If you are really so strong, you should be disemboweled as soon as you are defeated, you are all here, what kind of play are you still playing with me?!" ”
"Seppuku can only be performed in a clean room, dressed in the most solemn costumes, and written to the accompaniment of shamisen." Inuyo Masasei said: "This is the supreme glory of a samurai, how can you rush to the battlefield in a dirty way?" ”
"Fuck ......" Not only Wang Rulong, but even Jin Ke couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. What a pervert this is?
