Zhang Xuwen turned his head to look at Nobel and said, "Is your confession a truthful confession in a sober state?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Is this an open and fair trial?"

"Yes, sir."

"Do you regret what you've done?"

Nobel hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I would like to beg God to forgive me for my previous crimes, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life to repent of my mistakes, I feel extremely regretful, my lord." ”

"Good." Zhang Xuwen smiled slightly and said, "Since you feel sorry and want your God to forgive, this official will not embarrass you...... I will send you to your God today. ”

Zhang Xuwen actually knows the customs and habits of Europeans very well, after all, he has lived in the territory of Russians for a year, and Russians are heretics in Western Europe, similar to barbarians, but after all, they are still a serious white country, and Orthodox Christianity is also a branch of Catholicism, just to compete with Western Europe for orthodoxy.

What will Nobel say and how will he answer, the answer is in Zhang Xuwen's heart, and after saying half of the sentence, he directly announced that Nobel would be sentenced to death and executed immediately.

Song Ke and the others had a straight face, just now when Zhang Xuwen said half of the words, these Dutchmen thought that this trial was over, but they didn't expect to call this Chinese official to play tricks.

Nobel is already paralyzed, and the fact that people who have killed countless people does not mean that he is not afraid of death, and when it comes to the end, he is no better than ordinary people.

Lu Da couldn't help but laugh, and led a team of soldiers to erect a wooden pole, and at the same time hung up the rope that had been knotted.

Zhang Xuwen said to Song Ke: "This official respects the customs of your country and will not punish him with a beheading." ”

Song Ke bowed, but was still silent.

In any case he could not attack it as illegal or barbaric, it was a fairly fair and public trial, and there was nothing wrong with imposing the death penalty. Europe in this era is also the era of harsh punishment laws, all countries have gallows, petty crimes are easy to hang, there are criminals hanging on the execution ground every day, and later because there are more colonies, especially the British began to exile criminals, so the number of hangings is gradually decreasing, and valuable manpower is transported to the colonies to open up the wasteland, and most of the whites in Australia, the whole country, are the descendants of the exiled prisoners.

This is a bloody era, the death of a pawn can be so in line with the procedure, Song Kedu feels that the Chinese are not too fussful, pushing Nobel to the river, how good it is to collapse with one shot, everyone saves worry and effort.

Many natives also saw the gallows and heard the final verdict, and all the natives cheered.

Zhang Xuwen smiled and stood in front of a group of native leaders, behind whom were a large number of indigenous men.

After the cheers stopped, Zhang Xuwen said loudly in the native language: "This official is here to make an agreement with you in two chapters, the murderer dies, and the same is true for those who cut off their heads, and those who are captured will be hung on this gallows, and there will be no other end." The thief will be sentenced to hard labor, and there will be no pardon, and all criminals will be pursued for their crimes, and the official will never break his word! ”

Zhang Xuwen was originally kind and angry, and he always had a kind smile on his face, so the local people respected him, but they were not afraid. In the past, Zhang Xuwen went deep into the mountains and befriended the leaders of various societies, and he also brought about 200 guards, these soldiers and horses could not sweep the entire Gaoshan clan, but it was more than enough for self-protection.

It's not that there are no unsightly natives who want to make up their minds on Zhang Xuwen, it's not a joke for the Gaoshan people to hunt heads these days, it's really ruthless.

During the Japanese occupation, the indigenous uprising picked up the tradition of headhunting, and the ability of the Japanese army at that time could not easily sweep away the resistance of the indigenous people, and later the Japanese army paid a lot of money to buy off the hostile forces of various societies, and asked these headhunters to hunt the heads of the rebel groups, and how much money to pay for a head, so that the rebellion could be truly quelled in this way.

In this era, if Hutchison wants to be stable, it will definitely not work with the Japanese method, and the war is connected with disasters, and I don't know how long it will take. Either it is to detour to the mountains on this side of Tainan, that is, the densely populated area of the Tu people, leaving only the foundation by the sea, not touching the mountains, showing softness, and at the same time developing Taipei, there are fewer natives there.

This is Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yonghua's method, the development is too slow, there are too many constraints, Taiwan has not developed in the hands of the Zheng family, and it is getting poorer and weaker, otherwise it would not have allowed Shi to succeed. Of course, Hutchison does not take this approach.

The best way is to Huairou and strengthen the two-pronged approach, flying together, Zhang Xuwen has been soaking in the mountains for half a year, and it is not without harvest that people from various tribes have asked him to see all over again, due to the gap in identity, he is easy to marry the leaders of these tribes, and then bring people down the mountain in various ways, the abundance of materials here in Hutchison is unimaginable to the natives, and the natives who go down the mountain can easily obtain the materials they urgently need.

In fact, it is food and medicinal materials, wine is not, Hutchison can not be specially for the indigenous wine, there are some hotels and restaurants in the immigrant forts and base areas, the number is not much, wine and gambling are not welcomed in Hutchison, if you want to develop in this system, you must restrain your hobby, up and down, Hutchison insiders are also respectful of these two, at most drink and dare not be greedy, even with wine reserves are relatively insufficient, indigenous people love to drink and make trouble, they will make some fruit wine, Fortunately, Hutchison put an end to the introduction of soju, otherwise even Zhang Xuwen would not be able to deal with the drunk natives.

Because he has always treated people with a pleasant color, these natives in front of him were shocked by a small snack, and they were also shocked by Zhang Xuwen's words.

There are two chapters of the law, the murderer dies, and the thief is hard labor.

Many chiefs have memorized these two items, simple and straightforward.

Those who have a tradition of grass and like headhunters are more vigilant, and Hutchison will not intervene in their own vendetta between tribes, as for the idea of fighting these Han people, then they must first control themselves, so as not to cause trouble to the tribe.

"Alright." Zhang Xuwen looked back and saw that the execution ground had been prepared, and this time it was fanfare and painstaking efforts, just to give a deep impression to the natives.

The first is to avenge them, and Hutchison is the impression of thinking about them. The second is to let them know that the Hutchison is strict, and at this juncture, at the risk of offending the Dutch and fighting again, they are also going to do this, what does it mean?

The strong and huge power of the Dutch, the natives are also clear, their development is slow, mainly because they do not light up the evolution point under closed conditions, once there is a foreign civilization entering, in fact, they can also absorb civilization, at least who is strong and who is weak, and what kind of big things happen are still understood.

Hutchison can make such a determination, and these indigenous leaders will certainly not think that they are avenging themselves, and the key point is a determination to enforce the law to the end.

Those who commit dragon and scale will be punished!

Without this kind of determination, don't talk about raising Yuanyi, Yuanyi is not a Confucian scholar like the Northern Song Dynasty or Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi of the Ming Dynasty......

The rumbling drum sounded, Lu Da and the three Ma brothers stood beside Nobel, and the three of them didn't speak, Lu Da only muttered: "Do what you want, go to reincarnation, don't find me." ”

How could Nobel know what this Chinese was muttering, but even speaking Dutch was useless, he was already stupid.

The rope was quickly put around the little man's neck, and when Lu Da pulled the slipknot tight, the Ma brothers immediately pulled the rope together, and a simple pulley turned, pulling the Dutchman into the air.

Nobel began to writhe, and everyone watched with interest.

Zhang Xuwen is not interested in such a scene, of course he is not afraid, he has seen too many dead people. Sometimes it's funny to think about it, from an ordinary talent student, to the far north, to see the most savage and fierce foreigners, and now suddenly to the island in the far south, and still deal with those barbaric natives with broken hair and tattoos, it's really interesting to think about.

"Governor Songk, we can go and start negotiating." Zhang Xuwen said with a sincere face: "It is not our intention to let you see such a scene, if you use the hanging of a criminal to show force, it is too ridiculous." ”

After translating the words, Song Ke's face looked much better, he bowed slightly, and said, "I hope we can take his body with us when we leave, and we will hold a sea burial for him." ”

"Of course, there's no problem with that." Zhang Xuwen agreed.

The people in mid-air were still writhing, making a slight whining sound, Song Ke and Zhang Xuwen turned to leave, and the rest of the people were like ducks with their necks lifted, or continued to watch in the field.

Zheng Zhilong was waiting outside the execution ground, and he was not too interested in the scene of the hanging...... See too much in Hirado.

When Li Dan was there, Hirado was much more prosperous than it is now, ships from all over the world gathered, there were many merchants, there were many outsiders, and the temper of the people at sea was not very good, and they would quarrel and fight at every turn, and there were also murders and robberies.

The crowd marched mightily, turned into the base area, and went west from the side of the avenue to the gate of the camp.

Song Ke and others couldn't help but look, this camp is very large, and it is obviously the core area of Hutchison, the wall is quite tall and thick, it is estimated that the wall is about five meters high, no matter how flexible people can not go up without the help of ladders, there are perforations at the top of the wall, there are arrow towers every few dozen steps, soldiers are holding muskets on the lookout, and there are also patrolling soldiers on the wall, which looks very strict.

The entire base is several miles in radius, and it looks quite large.

However, everything in front of him is far worse than that of the city of Geranza, which can accommodate thousands of people, and the three-tiered fortress is almost impossible to be breached by external forces, unlike what is in front of you, that is, a thick wall, which is not a useful defensive project.

This also shows that Hutchison is quite confident that it will not be attacked from the inside, and the construction of the wall should be to prevent spies or sneak attacks, which is enough.
