After Shang Muming's translation, the captives began to discuss, and one of the captives who could speak Chinese said weakly: "General, the Ming army is too great, we can't beat it, can we spare our lives?" ”

Huang Dongshan said with a smile: "My Ming official army is a benevolent and righteous army, and he is not prepared to kill them all, as long as he puts down his arms and surrenders, he can be spared death, no matter how many people he killed before, he will be pardoned."

The Japanese who knew Chinese didn't wait for Shang Muming to translate before he told his companions, and the captives chattered for a while, and the Japanese still said, "Your Excellency, what do you want us to do so that everyone can live?" ＂

"You guys in groups of three go to find the fools who are still holding weapons and preparing to compete with the Ming official army, give you two moments of time to let all the people who are ready to surrender raise their hands and come to the open space in front of the dock to concentrate, and after two moments, our warships will start firing cannons, and then it will be too late to surrender, and the Ming army will not leave any of them, and they will be killed!"

"Your Excellency, the inside is very big, please give half an hour, let's run, come back quickly."

"Yes, if your companions don't surrender, you can come back and save yourself from your death, or you can choose to take up arms and fight side by side with those who are ready to fight against the Celestial Empire army."

"We certainly don't dare, we're coming back soon, and many of our relatives will definitely come too!"

"Go ahead, remember! You only have half an hour. And from this moment on, you are not allowed to kill any of the Han people in it, understand? ”

"Understood, don't dare to kill. We're going fast. "Twenty-seven pirates are really in a hurry to find their own people.

Since the leader is dead, the ronin who can fight in the pirate's den usually goes out to rob on the warship, and there are not many guards left in the home port, and fifty arquebusiers were taken to the auxiliary defense battery and killed and wounded there, and there are few pirates left who can fight.

Everyone saw dozens of Ming warships coming, thousands of Ming troops coming, and they successfully occupied the dock, and the people here were at a loss, I don't know what to do?

At this time, familiar companions came, and they learned from their mouths that the Ming army was coming, and if they did not surrender, they would be killed, and they also stipulated that they must raise their hands to assemble at the time.

There are too many Japanese people who have heard of the army of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean Renchen Rebellion in Wanli years, the Japanese history is called the Battle of Wenlu * Qingchang, and the Japanese people still remember it vividly, and the little Japan of this era has never thought of competing with the Chinese people!

Under the strong military deterrence of the Ming army, the national characteristics of the island people who bully the weak and fear the hard have emerged, and they are really disciplined, and they still line up when they come out to surrender.

Many Han Chinese also ran over with their hands raised, and they shouted loudly in Chinese: "We are not pirates, we are Han Chinese captured by pirates!" ”

Huang Dongshan led a group of heavy infantry to march forward and shouted: "The Han people go to stand on the left hand side of the official, the Japanese people go to the right hand side and kneel down with their hands raised, and the rest of the people kneel in front of the official!" ”

At this time, the twenty-seven pirates who had been persuaded to surrender all returned, and the report who could speak Chinese said: "Report to Your Excellency, General, you can meet all of them, and those who do not know may not come." ”

At this time, a Han man spoke, and he said: "My lord, the student is a great Ming scholar, and he was captured by pirates seven years ago. ”

There was also a scholar, which was a bit of a surprise, at this time, Huang Sheng, who came to the scene under the protection of the pro-soldier team holding a light steel round shield, heard it, and said to the man: "You are a great scholar, why are you a thief?" ”

Huang Sheng was wearing a five-grade official uniform at this time, and the scholar who was still standing and talking to Huang Dongshan just now knew the Daming official uniform, and knew that the civil official was coming, and his grade was much greater than that of his family's county honor.

Hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt down and said: "My lord, the student is the name of the person in Shaoxing Mansion, because he has repeatedly failed to find an errand in an account, he followed the owner of Ningbo Mansion to Japan seven years ago and was robbed of the cargo by the pirate leader Sakashima Jintra, because the student can write and count as being left alive by Sakashima Jintra, and has been here to survive until now." ”

Huang Sheng glanced at Bian Zhiming and shouted: "It's nonsense, your dress and complexion are like lingering?" is obviously an accomplice of the pirates, but he still doesn't recruit from the truth. ”

"My lord, the student has been on this island for Sakajima to take care of the accounts, it has been seven years, and he has not suffered a crime when he has settled down here, but the student is a scholar, not only has he never acted for the tiger, but also often advises the pirates not to kill indiscriminately, and there are several Han people here who escaped from the pirates' knives after the students interceded!"

Huang Dongshan next to him immediately said to those Han people: "It is indeed Mr. Bian Zhiming who saved a few of them." ”

Immediately, five or six Han people ran over and knelt down and said, "The old man is clear, Mr. Bian has indeed saved the lives of the grass people, and he has never done anything evil!" ”

Huang Sheng observed that these people didn't seem to be lying, and there were so many Han people who didn't raise objections indiscriminately, presumably this scholar was not a bad person.

He said, "Although you are doing things for the Japanese Invaders, the official remembers that you are forced to spare your sin of being a thief, get up!" Now the official is going to completely take over the people and all the materials here, you can help do things. ”

Bian Zhiming was a little excited, he really didn't imagine that there would be a court sailor who would come thousands of miles to attack this island lair, and he got up tremblingly and followed Huang Dongshan.

There were less than 200 pirates captured during the capture of the ships, and there were more than 1,800 men and women on the island, including 7,800 pirate women and children.

There are not more than 200 Han Chinese, there are more than a dozen blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, more than 100 Nanyangs, and the rest are Japanese.

No matter what race they are, according to the law of piracy, everyone here is the Huang family's spoils, they are all slaves of the victor, and they can be sold and arranged to work.

Ben Zhiming actually had a roster of the inhabitants of this island, and he knew that there were still some people who did not come out to surrender, but hid, and after taking the roll call with the musketeers, he began to look for those who were hiding from the cats.

The orderly relocation began again, and the wealth of this pirate den exceeded that of the entire city of Fuzhou, the value of the goods exceeded 300,000 taels of silver, and the Japanese rice seized 8,000 taels.

There were more than 10,000 catties of gunpowder in the warehouse, seven six-pound copper-core iron cannons, twelve four-pound copper-core iron cannons, and many armor and cold weapons.

Bian Zhiming told Huang Dongshan that this group of pirates has been operating for more than ten years, and they are cautious, and every robbery is to deal with lone merchant ships, and to deal with peers is also to adopt the tactics of group beating, so they are increasing their strength every year.

They were in contact with several Japanese daimyos, who not only helped them sell the stolen goods, but also gave them information on the exchange of ships, and it is not known how they would divide them after they succeeded.

Of course, Huang Sheng understands this kind of behavior, as long as it is a bandit who has been repeatedly banned, there must be collusion with government officials, no matter what the era.

The relocation of the Huang family is familiar with the road, and there are more than 1,000 free laborers to drive, and the transportation distance is very short, which is relatively easy.

There were many poultry and livestock on the island, and everyone could drink wine and eat meat, and of course they did not treat the captives and slaves who worked hard to the death. The most difficult part of the job was to carry the three red-coated cannons on the hill fort.
