Chapter 40: The Great War on Land and Sea VI

It didn't take long for the embarrassed Watanabe Masao and the Nine Demons Yoshitaka plus a bunch of large and small generals to be brought over.

"Oops, there's a missing interpreter." When the matter came, Shen Chongming made a difficulty, and he would shout an eight-grid Yalu Yaya butterfly, where should this interrogation of the prisoner begin.

"Adults, villains can speak Chinese, and following them this time was arrested as an interpreter." Seeing the stitches, Watanabe, who was headed, looked up and said with a cower. If there is no interpretation, wouldn't I be able to take the opportunity to get out?

Shen Chongming, who was worried, looked happy, and quickly put on a smiling face and asked, "Could it be that you have been in my Daming?" ”

Watanabe Masao hurriedly nodded and said with admiration: "Yes, the villain once lived in the great Ming Dynasty for more than 30 years, and because he admired Sinology, he worked hard to learn Chinese. ”

Shen Chongming laughed when he heard this, it turned out that this guy was still a traitor when he was a lot older. "Yes, very good, you do your interpreter well, if the official is happy, not only will you be spared the capital crime, but you will also be given a reward!"

After a thousand thanks, Masao Watanabe deliberately made a lewd expression on his face and began his short career as a translator. The more they are like this, the more they believe that they are a small character.

The Nine Ghosts Behind him saw Watanabe Masao's appearance, although he couldn't understand what he was saying to the Han people in front of him, but looking at the appearance of the two, he knew that it was not a good thing.

"You say, the one in here is the leader?" Shen Chongming glanced at everyone and asked.

"Lord Qiqi, this person's name is Nine Ghosts Jialong, and he is the general who leads the troops on this trip. That's not all, he's the supreme commander of the Admiral. This person doesn't know the height of the sky, and he has always wanted to plunder the rich and prosperous Celestial Empire! Watanabe Masao pointed to the Nine Ghosts and said.

Not only Shen Chongming, but even the people behind him showed surprised expressions this time. No wonder the fleet of the Japanese invaders was so large this time, it turned out that the admiral himself commanded it.

"What are you talking about, Lord Watanabe?" Nine Ghost Jialong asked anxiously, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Nine Ghost Monarch, don't worry, I'll mediate everything." Watanabe Masao said with a stern expression, people who didn't understand what he said would definitely think that he was reprimanding the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka just by looking at this expression.

"Hehe, what a big fish." Shen Chongming sneered again and again, vaguely understanding something in his heart. This reprimand didn't even say the eight-grid tooth road, you must know that this is the mantra of Little Japan.

In order to save his life, Watanabe Masao can be regarded as doing things desperately, all the captured generals, big and small, have been promoted and made a fortune in his mouth, and there is even a guy who was brought up because of his slight wealth has also jumped six levels in a row to become a daimyo in a certain place!

He was forced to do this because he was helpless, otherwise, once someone could get away with going back alive, the excuses he prepared for escaping death would be useless.

"Watanabe, are you really just a translator?" Listening to him say a lot of wordy things, Shen Chongming asked with a smile while plucking his ears.

Watanabe Masao's expression froze, a trace of panic flashed through his eyes, and he said with a smiling face: "My lord, Watanabe is really just a small interpreter, if you don't believe it, you can ask them for verification." ”

Shen Chongming sneered, "Probably you don't know that it was the official who led the troops to clean up the Japanese in Zhejiang back then, although he only glanced at you in the clairvoyance, but even if you turn to ashes, the official can recognize your old face!" ”

Watanabe's fierce expression scared Watanabe Masao a lot, and he could know that Shen Chongming's words were purely based on his guess in his heart to deceive him.

Looking at Watanabe Masao's instantly dilated pupils, Shen Chongming was even more sure of his guess. What has lived in the Ming Dynasty for 30 years, I am afraid that he has been doing the work of the Japanese in the coastal area for 30 years.

"My lord, don't be kidding, how could a man of Watanabe's age do such a thing." Watanabe Masao said with a strong smile, and made up his mind to fight to death and not admit it, otherwise he would be even more unable to escape death.

"Watanabe Masao, you are so rampant, my soldiers under Yi Sunsin, but there are many people who have been fishing for a living near Wajima all year round, and as for your words, I can understand some of them." At this moment, Yi Sunsin said with disdain on his face. If he hadn't interjected just now, the interpreter would have been found a long time ago!

Masao Watanabe instantly fell into a state of stupor, and he actually forgot about the North Koreans. In this country, there are indeed many people who can speak the language of the Yamato nation!

"Watanabe, if I admit your identity as an admiral, this officer will treat the prisoners preferentially." Shen Chongming on the side said with a smile. This guy must be too powerful to hide his identity so much, and looking at the eyes of other Japanese robbers looking at him, it is clear that he is the person with the highest position in this trip!

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Masao Watanabe suddenly lowered his head as if he were dead.

Shen Chongming snorted coldly and shouted: "Come, press down this sinful widow, send it to the capital, and hand it over to the emperor!" ”

"Yaga!" With a loud shout, Watanabe Masao, who originally seemed to bow down and confess, suddenly burst out, rushed forward with an arrow, and struck Shen Chongming by the throat with a blade.

This move condensed all the strength of Watanabe Masao's body, and Watanabe Masao, who had practiced kung fu for decades, knew very well in his heart that if this palm hit, it would be enough to cut off the neck of the Han man in front of him!

However, as soon as Shen Chongming told Watanabe Masao Hai Koukou's identity, Zhang Chi, who was following behind, was more careful, and his right heel was off the ground, once Watanabe Masao had a bad intention, he could kick it away with one kick.

Taking advantage of Masao Watanabe's rush, Zhang Chi kicked out his right foot suddenly, and pounced on Masao Watanabe's abdomen in front of him.

After all, he is a person who is in the upper grade, and the body of Watanabe Masao, who has been extremely indulgent for the past two years, has long been hollowed out by wine, and he can only hear him snort, and he stumbles backwards!

Shen Chongming was afraid for a while, he never expected that this bad old man would dare to play yin with him. Although he is wearing gold silk soft armor, it is of little use to this kind of pure strength attack, looking at the old ghost with a desperate look, if he takes a hit, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.

A Korean soldier who was fluent in Japanese was summoned to act as an interpreter, and after some interrogation, all the circumstances became clear. As inferred, the leader of the Japanese who escaped by seizing two Franc ships was none other than the current Admiral Watanabe Masao. And this naval battle, from the generals to the ships, almost wiped out the Japanese navy, which can be called a complete victory.

After returning from the victory, Shen Chongming's eyes immediately turned to the Japanese in Nanpu City, and completely annihilated the Japanese army, and the enemy of Nanpu was a veritable turtle in the urn.

The carts were carried by people, and with a large number of people, more than 200 artillery pieces were all placed under the city of Nanpu in half a day.

"Tell the Japanese people in the city to surrender and not kill." Shen Chongming was very benevolent and instructed Li Sunsin, but he knew in his heart that these nonsense were of no use to the Japanese Kou.

Dozens of selected Korean soldiers lined up under the city of Nampo and began to persuade them to surrender, but the closed city gate did not move, but instead dropped arrows from the city to greet them.

After all, they were invaders, and the Korean soldiers did not have the slightest good impression of the Japanese invaders, and slowly developed from persuasion to surrender to scolding war, and the two sides were scolding each other with each other.

In such a bloody situation, Shen Chongming did not send people to dissuade or order the siege of the city, but instead pulled Li Sunchen to talk at length.

"Lord Li, your turtle ship is really a good thing, if it weren't for your men and horses participating in this battle, it would be impossible to completely annihilate the Japanese Navy." Shen Chongming praised without hesitation.

Li Sunsin's old face flushed, "Let the adults laugh, if it weren't for the sailors of the imperial court who disrupted the formation of the Japanese invaders, the lower officials would not have been able to avoid the artillery fire of the Japanese warships, and of course it would not have been possible to play a role." ”

"Hehe, don't talk about that." Shen Chongming smiled and waved his hand, and asked with a concerned face: "Now that the prince is taking refuge in the capital, and the country is also in chaos, presumably Lord Li and his soldiers are not having a good time, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Yi Sunsin couldn't help but sigh. Although the coastal people were frugal and provided a lot of military rations for their soldiers and horses, their lives were difficult during the war, and even if they took out all the food, it would not be enough for nearly 10,000 men and horses to consume.

Fortunately, as a sailor, you can eat fish and eat food, otherwise this team would have collapsed long ago. But eating fish every day is unbearable, and many soldiers now want to vomit when they see fish. But there is no way, even if you vomit, you have to eat, it's a big deal to eat while spitting.

"Don't hide it from Lord Shen, there is a shortage of food in the army, and the subordinate has been worrying about this matter." As soon as he talked about this, Yi Sunsin gathered in his heart, how could he be worried.

Now that the Japanese navy has been completely annihilated, his own team has no use at sea, so he can only return to the shore to fight against the Japanese in the hope of driving out all the Japanese as soon as possible. However, in this way, the issue of grain and grass is even more important.

Shen Chongming smiled, "This official can help me in this matter, and I hope Master Li will not shirk it." ”

Although Yi Sunsin is a person who attaches great importance to his face, but in this situation, if anyone can help him get through the difficulties, he can directly kneel down and shout grandpa, he can agree. However, politeness is still needed, and Li Sunchen said with some embarrassment: "Thank you for your understanding, but I came from afar with the imperial army, and I am afraid that the food I bring is not much, so the lower officials will not trouble you." ”

"Alas, what's the trouble with this, Prime Minister Li promised to raise a batch of grain and grass for his official in the near future. My army of more than 60,000 has more than enough to eat, and it's no problem to give you some of it. ”

Yi Sunsin's expression was stunned, and his heart was mixed for a while. You must know that you have sent people to find Xiangye several times, asking him to solve the problem of food and grass for his more than 10,000 men, but he has refused every time. Originally, he said that the life of the people everywhere was not easy, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. But he never expected that he was actually raising grain and grass for the imperial army.

Although this thing is also reasonable, it is not difficult to give yourself a little bit of food and grass from the army of the imperial court, how can you watch your family go hungry? If this thing gets out, the soldiers will not be allowed to rebel?
