Chapter 208: War Reparations



It didn't take long for Xu Guanzhong to come back again, Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Brother, go back and discuss with the soldiers, these Dongying people dare to come to intercept our warship, and they must give a profound lesson, ordinary people will be beaten with twenty whips, and the leader Yoshino Masao will be beaten with thirty whips." In addition, our ammunition consumption, cannon wear, and crossbow arrow consumption are all money, so Yoshinoya will compensate 2,000 taels of gold, and pay it off within two days. ”

Chao couldn't help but nodded: "Well, Guan Zhong has improved." ”

The whip used for punishment is a thin whip made of five strands of cowhide, and before the whip is beaten, it is soaked in salt water, and the torturer's pants are taken off and whipped on the buttocks.

Xu Guanzhong said: "Beat more than 100 people at once, there are really not so many people, please borrow the manpower in charge of execution in my brother's personal army." ”

"Okay, I'll go over and have a look."

Chao Gai came to the Flying Eagle 4 with his own soldiers, and a group of Dongying people who were like chickens in soup were on both sides of the deck.

Xu Guanzhong asked people to take chairs, Chao Gai sat in the center, Xu Guanzhong read out the punishment decision, Lu Fang and Luo Yun with twenty personal soldiers, and ten whippers in the navy were ready to fight.

Yoshino Masao looked unconvinced, twisted his neck and said: "I'm not convinced, it's a samurai who should fight with a sword, although we failed, but we are not convinced." ”

"If you are not convinced, it is also a failure, you have your weapons, we have our weapons, and if you shout again, you will directly cut off your head and throw it into the sea to feed the fish." Lu Fangdao.

Yoshino Masao said: "I won't be convinced if I cut off my head, unless you can defeat me with a knife." ”

Lu Fang drew his knife and said, "I'm still afraid that I won't be able to kill you?" ”

Chao Gai stopped Lu Fang and said to Yoshino Masao, "How many people are in your family?" What do you do? ”

Masao Yoshino said: "My family has more than 50,000 people in the farming and fishing industry. ”

Chao Gai clicked his mouth, 50,000 people is also a big market, and said: "Are you convinced if you defeat it?" ”

"Yes, if you defeat me, I will be convinced, and if I can't win, I will release us unconditionally."

I didn't expect this idiot to put forward such a condition, Chao Gai said: "It's impossible to let you go unconditionally, your little effort is just in the nest, and you can't show it when you come out, I will beat you with a knife." ”

Chao Gai motioned for Xu Guanzhong to release Yoshino Masao, and asked Yoshino Masao to bring his katana. Yoshino Masao moved his arms and legs, and Chao Gai also held the mountain knife in his hand.

Masao Yoshino shouted, "I'm going to make a move." The whole person burst out at the same time, and the katana in his hand was like a white rainbow, incredibly fast. The sharp katana shrouded Chao Gai with endless killing intent.

Chao Gai Kaishan knife in his hand, just gently upward, the katana slashed on the Kaishan knife, and with a bang, Yoshino Masao's arms were numb. Chao Gai's left foot was the axis, his right foot flew up, and he kicked Yoshino Masao in the chest, and Yoshino Masao's whole person seemed to hit the locomotive, like a kite with a broken string flying backwards, and only landed three or four meters later, smashing the deck with a bang.

"Wow." Masao Yoshino spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chao Gai put away the knife and went back to sit down, Yoshino Masao staggered up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Your Excellency is so powerful, I admire it." ”

Chao Gai ignored him and motioned for Xu Guanzhong to start fighting. In fact, Chao Gai also used enough strength to win beautifully, and Yoshino Masao is very strong, but his strength is not good.

Yoshino Masao said: "I would like to worship you as a teacher and learn martial arts." ”

"Let's finish the fight first and then talk about the rest." The soldier couldn't help but say that he was the first to push Yoshino Masao to the ground, took off his pants, and whipped his leather whip soaked in salt water thirty times, but Yoshino Masao was really a tough guy, and he didn't scream even when he bit his clothes.

Due to the limited number of people who can whip it, it takes two people to hold it down, and one person to beat it, and only twenty people can be beaten at a time. At the beginning, he was a samurai of the Yoshino family, but there were very few samurai after all, only a dozen or so, and the rest were just ordinary people. The screams of the leather whip continued, and the heart-rending screams spread far away, and the soldiers on the ships looked towards the battleship. It took a long time to finish, and only one Dongying person survived, which was left by Xu Guanzhong, and asked him to go back to deliver the letter and pay two thousand taels of gold.

Xu Guanzhong is still very kind, and found a fishing boat that was damaged by a cannonball for this person, and if it was repaired, it would be opened. This man is going to cry, how can this broken ship be driven?

"Let's make do with it, if you think about coming out to rob, you should think about the consequences, and you will say that it will be two days, and you will not wait for the expiration date." Xu Guanzhong said.

This guy is really good, after all, it's a fishing boat, it's easy to handle, and after a while, he rowed away.

Yoshino Masao is really scared of this matter, about a hundred people, Xu Guanzhong said, just two days, if you don't send war reparations, you will leave. As for how to deal with these people, I didn't say, but I knew with my toes that they would definitely not end well, and they would either be thrown into the sea or pulled to be used as coolies.

At noon the next day, the people of the Yoshino family arrived, and this time there were many people, dozens of fishing boats, and this time they learned wisely, and stopped the boats seven or eight hundred meters away, and then sent the people from Toei who went back yesterday to report the news, saying that the gold had been delivered, and asked them to hand over the money and the other hand.

Xu Guanzhong was angry at that time and said, "Give money first, and then release people." ”

The people of the Yoshino family were also scared, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately asked people to send two thousand taels of gold over, and Xu Guanzhong asked them to count it clearly, so they nodded and let them go.

In order to prevent the Dongying people from engaging in tricks, only three fishing boats were allowed to come over at a time, and twenty people were transported away each time. It took five rounds of this to get all the captives out.

Yoshino Masao finally left and said to Xu Guanzhong: "Will we meet again?" ”

"We'll meet again, but next time we have bright eyes, don't come to rob us again." Xu Guanzhong said.

Yoshino Masao said, "No. ”

The Yoshino family is not stupid, the robbery is nothing more than money, who would rob a warship with enough food.

"We'll visit your family when we have time." Xu Guanzhong said.

Masao Yoshino said, "Welcome at any time. ”

The people of the Yoshino family left, and the fleet got two thousand taels of gold, which is not too much, but not too much. Complete the task and go back and distribute it prorately.

Mi Shengke opened his eyes and said: "This Dongying people have a really strange personality, and if you defeat them, they are like a pug." You're kind to us. ”

"Yes, they are always fierce to the weak. For the powerful, they always bow their eyebrows and are pleasing to the eye. Chao Gai said.

Xu Guanzhong said: "It seems that my brother has also studied the Dongying people?" ”

"Research is definitely no, understood. Don't underestimate them, don't look at them short, but it's not easy to mess with, don't be careless. Their samurai have a kind of death-defying attitude. Chao Gai said, "When the new Jeju Island is consolidated next year, large-scale trade will be launched with Dongying, and the population of Dongying should be many times larger than that of Koreans, and the market potential will be relatively large." ”

Xu Guanzhong thought so, and said: "When the time comes, our fleet will escort the caravan, lest our maritime merchants let the Dongying people be bullied." It seems that there are a lot of pirates in the East. ”

"You must be afraid of Dongying people, otherwise they will always be dishonest. Let's go, order the fleet to set off for Black Dragon Island. Chao Gai said.

The fleet sailed for another six or seven days before discovering a large island, which would not have taken so long, but encountered a storm on the way, and rested for a few days to delay time. The island looks very huge. There are no precise charts, no satellite positioning, everything depends on experience. Chao Gai feels that this is Sakhalin Island, that is, the southern part of Black Dragon Island, but he is not sure yet.

"Send centipede ships to search along the seashore to see where there are any villages or harbors or anything like that." Chao Gai said.

The fleet slowly approached the coast, and the bird boat had a draft of more than two meters, so naturally it did not dare to get too close to the shore, for fear of running aground. The centipede boat has a draft of only half a meter, and it is free of pressure, and it is casually close to the shore. I sailed slowly forward for seventy or eighty miles, and I didn't find any people, but all I saw were the vast mountains, and the pines, birches, and fir trees that were lofty in the clouds.

"Look, there's a bunch of four-like, Gongsun Junshi's mounts." Mi Sheng pointed to a group of elk on the seaside meadow and said.

There are many tall mountains in the southern part of Heilong Island, and the living environment is somewhat harsh, and the people on the island will definitely choose to live in the fertile plains rather than the mountainous areas. It's a relief to think about. Three centipede boats searched around, and it didn't take long to find a concave natural harbor, which was calm and perfect for stopping ships.

Xu Guanzhong and Chao Gaiyi discussed, and the fleet entered the port to berth. On the shore is a sparse grassland, just camping in the village, and not far away is the reckless mountain.

The navy was stationed on the ship, and the personal soldiers were stationed ashore. Lu Fang and Luo Yun led fifty light cavalry to patrol the vicinity, and Mi Sheng led people to set up camps. Although most of the 100 people brought by Mi Sheng are new recruits, the squad leaders are all veterans, so many things can be done quickly. Trenches, fences, horses, tents, things are done in an orderly manner. Not to mention the pro-soldiers, this kind of work can't be more familiar.

Lu Fang took Fang Tian's painting and rode a horse vigilantly at the front of the team, and the fifty light cavalry were divided into two groups, Lu Fang led one group and Luo Yun led one group. If you want to set up camp, you must at least survey the terrain of five or six miles nearby, and of course it is better to survey farther.

This place is obviously inaccessible, the green grass has grown to more than two feet deep, and the war horses are also suffocated on the boat, and they are running up one by one, and they are running, when suddenly a big roe deer in front of them ran over in a panic.

Lu Fang was worried that the war horse would hurt the horse's legs, so he drew a halberd and picked the roe deer away.

Lu Fang dismounted, planning to bring this roe deer back to improve everyone's life. Although light cavalry would not normally go hunting, it was not illegal to shoot a roe deer.

"Lu Dutou, get on the horse quickly, there are a lot of wolves in front." The soldiers in the back suddenly found that there were at least a dozen wolves dozens of meters in front of them, staring at Lu Fang and the others with eyes full of cold light.
