Chapter 106: The Threat of the British Empire

The next morning, the sun was shining, and a hillside outside the Weihai Acropolis had been transformed into a huge dharma field.

On the hillside of this hill are buried more than 1,000 Weihaiwei people who died in the attack of the Japanese invaders, and their unwilling souls are silently watching this Dharma field.

At this time, hundreds of wooden pillars were erected on the hillside.

Each wooden pillar was tightly tied to a captured pirate.

These pirates were divided into two sides, the one on the left was the real one from Fuso, and the one on the right was the fake one composed of Ming pirates.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Qin army armed with long knives stood beside these would-be soldiers with grim faces, waiting for orders from the general's platform at any time.

A simple raised platform was built directly opposite the shooting range.

On the high platform, Hu Zongxian led Di Qing, Bai Jinxiu, Deng Shichang and other generals and high-level leaders of the Qin army.

At this time, on the periphery of the law field, in addition to the hundreds of Qin soldiers who maintained order, there were also hundreds of Weihaiwei people who survived the last attack by the Japanese invaders.

At this time, they were staring at the Japanese who were about to be beheaded with red eyes, full of resentment, and they looked excited, eager to go up and bite off the flesh of these Japanese robbers, in order to vent the pain of their loved ones' deaths.

Although they knew that these wouldn't be the same ones who had attacked their hometown last time, seeing them being executed in front of their own eyes would have eased the grief a little.

Hu Zongxian looked up at the sky. The hour is coming.

So he said loudly to the surviving Weihaiwei people: "Everyone, the purpose of beheading these widows today is to let the villagers know that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will always care about the people.

You always remember that as long as there is anyone who dares to harm the people, whether it is the Manchu Tartars or these Japanese pirates, there is only one way to die.

Please believe that although these widows are not the murderers of your relatives, I hereby assure you today that it will not be long before all the murderers of your relatives will be annihilated. Place their heads in front of the graves of those who have died to pay tribute to their souls in heaven. ”

Hu Zongxian's words immediately resonated with these surviving people. They knelt down facing the high platform and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Regent, for avenging the grass people, thank you Governor, thank you to the generals and soldiers of the Qin army, such great kindness will never be forgotten and repaid by the grass." ”

Many people were talking and tearful.

First, it was because he thought of his innocent relatives who died tragically, and secondly, he was also excited to see Qin Jun's determination to avenge them and to be avenged by his relatives.

The sun had risen directly above the sky at this time, and Hu Zongxian's guard captain looked up at the sky and said to Hu Zongxian: "Your Excellency, the hour has come. ”

Hu Zongxian turned his head to look at Deng Shichang, who was standing concentrating on the left, and said in a deep voice: "Admiral Deng, these Japanese robbers were captured by your sailors, so it is reasonable for you to give the order to ask for beheading." ”

Deng Shichang saw that Hu Zongxian's expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to be deliberately humble, so he nodded and accepted after a little groaning.

With a snort, he pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed diagonally at the sky, and shouted: "Execution!" ”

Hearing Deng Shichang's order, the soldiers of the Qin army standing behind those Japanese soldiers raised their long swords at the same time.

Where the sword flashes. One by one, the hideous and terrifying human heads flew into the sky in an instant, and the dirty blood in the cavity spurted out three feet.

For those who are really widows, the soldiers who execute them are all cut in two.

But for those Ming robbers who were fake pirates, the soldiers who executed them hated them even more for harming their compatriots. Because when these fake pirates harm their compatriots, they are even more cruel and heinous than those real pirates.

Therefore, when these fake widows were executed, they deliberately retracted their strength, and only cut off half of the opponent's neck.

Blood was pouring out, but these people were not completely dead.

The great pain in their necks made them howl miserably, and their voices were as terrible as ghosts.

It wasn't until the second knife that the executioners completely cut off their necks, and the ugly heads flew out, and the horns of their heads rolled down the hillside in front of them.

Seeing that all the more than 300 would-be beheaded, the surviving people fell to their knees and wept.

The pain and sorrow that had been suppressed in my heart for many days were released at this moment. Everyone feels that there is a lot less haze in their hearts.

After the execution, the bodies of the would-be robbers were quickly buried.

Because the weather is already hot, if they are exposed to the wilderness, it is easy to cause epidemics, although Hu Zongxian really wants to build the heads of these widows into a Beijing temple in front of the graves of the people.

The rifled guns and information about the Japanese invaders that were seized from the Japanese Invaders, Hu Zongxian had already sent people to the Regent's Mansion in the capital.

Three days later, Jiang Chuan soon received a rifled gun and information from Hu Zongxian.

Jiang Chuan was very excited about the first victory of the sailor.

But what worries him more are the rifled guns that have been sent.

He immediately led people to conduct a test shot on the school field of the palace, and the results of the test shot were basically the same as the results of Hu Zongxian's test shot.

This result made Jiang Chuan feel an urgent threat.

Thankfully, the system will be upgraded tomorrow. Once the upgrade is complete, the threat will cease to exist.

From the information sent by Hu Zongxian, what made Jiang Chuan feel really worried was not that these would-be robbers possessed such sharp rifled guns, but the real source of these rifled guns.

If these pirates were able to buy this rifled gun from an English merchant who was doing business in Fuso, then it is certain that this rifled gun was most likely not the current English Imperial Army equipped with active weapons, but a firearm that was a generation behind or even had been obsolete.

In this way, it is possible to be transported overseas by these merchants to sell.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan was not only shocked into a cold sweat.

If the firearms of the British Empire were sharper than the muskets in front of them, what extent would the muskets in their hands develop? This made Jiang Chuan couldn't help but be deeply worried.

And he remembered the foreign girl Mo Dai he saved.

He remembered that Mo Dai no longer felt disapproving of the firearms in his hands, saying that the firearms of their British Empire were sharper, and now the information sent by Hu Zongxian corroborated each other, proving that this foreign girl was indeed not talking casually, but was indeed true.

However, thinking that the foreign girl Mo Dai would follow Qi Xuan, they would arrive in the capital in a short time, and when the time came, they could ask her for further confirmation.

But the good thing is that there are no signs that the English Empire is going to invade the Ming Dynasty.

So Jiang Chuan doesn't have to face this threat for the time being.

He now pins all his hopes on a system upgrade that will be secured with firearms that will neutralize this potential threat.
