Chapter 431: Battle Results
Seeing that Ma Du asked people to pull out the two Japanese invaders and imprison them, Liao Yongan made a mocking remark, "I heard you say that you killed all the Japanese invaders along the way, how can you not dare to kill them if you encounter a big fish." ”
"Killing people is simple, it's just a blink of an eye, but the trouble is big, if the Japanese come to Penghu to take revenge, it's a big deal to put their heads on the waist of their pants to fight them, but if they land and plunder again to retaliate, thousands of miles of sea territory, we can't prevent this little force."
Ma Du sighed and said: "When the time comes, I can't bear the suffering of the people, and the hundred officials may have to impeach me, and it is a small matter to lose the official position and remove the knight, so I am worried that the emperor will not be able to withstand the pressure and abolish the navy." ”
The current Lao Zhu is naturally full of words, but he has not yet turned his face with the courtiers, and his actions are not so unscrupulous, and he still cares about the face of the courtiers.
"Then you can't keep these two miscellaneous pieces for nothing, I tell you that it's better to kill them, as long as they live for a day, the Japanese Koukou will definitely keep coming to Penghu to entangle with us, and there will always be a time to drag us down."
"I won't raise them in vain, I've already thought about it, these two people will be sent to the capital directly, especially their identities must be made clear to the emperor.
Liao Yongan was stunned, and said with a smile: "You're not afraid that the emperor won't be able to clean you up." ”
"There's no way, if you want the emperor's absolute support, you can only do this."
The Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom fooled Lao Zhu, sowing discord between the Northern Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and also colluding with the remnants of Meng Yuan, and now even people have caught a figure, if the good-faced Lao Zhu can endure it, it will be strange, and he will definitely fight to the end with the Wako, if the navy is strong enough, he will definitely wish that Ma Du would kill the main island of the Wa Kingdom.
As the day began to get brighter, Madu wanted to sleep, but when a soldier told him that he had found a large amount of money in the treasury, he was completely sleepy and went to check it himself.
But I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, there was indeed a lot of money, almost all of the small treasury was piled up, almost all of them were copper coins, and it was estimated that it would be about 20,000 taels of silver, needless to say that the money was robbed from Daming, and it was estimated that the big head had been taken away.
Ma Du will not hand it over, and it will not return to the hands of those robbed people when it is handed over to the imperial court, and I don't know which corrupt official will be cheaper, and it is most suitable to use it as military expenses for the navy.
The widows really lack humanity, originally thought that the women they used as shields were miserable enough, but they didn't expect to find hundreds of women in a large courtyard, these women are simply inhuman, described as withered, full of filth, scarred, look like the walking dead zombies in biochemical movies, I don't know what kind of torture they suffered.
Some of the women obviously lost their minds, laughing crazy naked, and one ran over to hug the gray-haired old Liu and called his son, most of the women were blank and didn't look at Ming Jun.
There was a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, her whole body was thin and her head looked big, and her dark eyes were still a little bright, unlike other women.
Ma Du reached out to touch her head, and as soon as the little girl stretched her neck, she bit Ma Du's fingers, her emaciated little face twisted into a ball, and looked at Ma Du viciously, and the red blood ran down her teeth to the corners of her mouth, but it was Ma Du's blood
Zhang Wuliuyi pushed the little girl away, "You little girl is a dog, why do you want people indiscriminately!" ”
The second goods are the second goods, and if you pinch her mouth, it will not be released. With such a strong push, the little girl fell on all fours, and Ma Du also lost a piece of flesh on his fingers.
Ma Du looked at the bloody fingers and said to the little girl: "You are mistaken, we are the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, not the Japanese Kou, we came too late and let the sisters suffer." ”
Ma Du suppressed the anger in his heart, asked the soldiers to prepare food and clothing for them, and found a military doctor to treat their injuries. It's just that I didn't expect to be even more shocking, outside the residential area, a large pit was found that had not been completely buried, where there were no less than a thousand female corpses.
This kind of scene is very familiar, Ma Du remembers seeing such a bone pit in the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, but it was a pile of white bones, but in front of him was dripping with flesh and blood. He took a few deep breaths before his mood calmed down, otherwise the anger would definitely break through his Heavenly Spirit Gai.
In a small hidden warehouse, the soldiers searched for more than 30 copper guns and some gunpowder that had been damp.
These guns are of different colors, a small number of them are standard equipment from the Mengyuan period, and the others are newly cast. This made Ma Du suddenly excited, I am afraid that he had underestimated the Japanese before.
As for the origin of these firearms, after some interrogation by Mao Xiang, the result was quickly reached, Jin Zilong is a dog traitor is a compound talent, and some of the guns were originally brought to the Wa Kingdom by Jin Zilong, and he later minted a lot of them in the Wa Kingdom.
It's just that the technology of casting copper in the Japanese country is not very good, and the copper coins are not good at casting, let alone firearms, not to mention the small power and often exploding the chamber, and finally it was abandoned.
In the first battle of Penghu, more than 3,500 enemies were killed, more than 1,000 people were captured, more than 150 enemy ships were burned, more than 18,000 taels of silver were captured, 900 stones of grain were captured, and more than 700 captive women were rescued.
The Ming army was killed and wounded 14 people and nearly 100 people, most of whom were killed and wounded in pursuit of the Japanese invaders. As for the ammunition, it was consumed innumerable, and in terms of economic efficiency, this battle was a bit of a loss.
Firewood was erected on the beach, and the fourteen Ming soldiers who died in battle changed into clean naval uniforms, covered with a blue military flag painted with the sun and the moon, and placed on the firewood together with stretchers.
Ma Du and Liao Yongan personally stepped forward to sort out the appearance of the martyrs one by one, and then glanced at Mao Xiang. At the sound of Mao Xiang's order, more than 1,000 captured Japanese robbers were cut off their heads, and their heads rolled down, staining the beach with blood, and the bloody human heads were then piled up in a pile, which was a sacrifice for the martyrs.
Bang Bang Bang ...... After a dense burst of gunfire, the oil-poured firewood was ignited, the red flames quickly devoured the corpse, the four thousand soldiers took off their hats and saluted, there was no bloody shout, everyone stood quietly on the seashore, until the corpse was burned into white ash and put into the altar, this set of farewell ceremonies was completed.
Liao Yongan put on his hat, rubbed his sore legs, and said to Ma Du: "Isn't your pomp a little bigger, even if I am a national prince, I may not have such a mourning honor if I die one day, so I am not afraid that someone will impeach you for buying the hearts of the military?" ”
