"Look." Zheng Zhilong replied to his mood, and a smile appeared on his face: "We didn't abuse and kill them, let's not do this." ”

"Forget it." Song Kexin said that the people who were accidentally arrested by the Ming Dynasty government in the past few decades said less than ten or twenty, but they were all killed by the local officials without waiting for the autumn decision, pirates, there is no need to wait for the review of the criminal department, local officials can be killed directly, the Ming Dynasty said that it is civilized, but it is quite vigilant against outsiders, and if you kill it, you will take the merit of the leader, and get the praise of the boss, how can it be so good.

However, people can't help but bow their heads under the low eaves, and Song Ke swallowed his anger and said: "In this case, simply let Nobel go, which can be regarded as the sincerity of the peace talks between our two sides." ”

"That's not going to work." Zheng Zhilong said: "As I said just now, we can understand normal war behavior, but this Nobel has many natives who testified that he tortured and killed civilians in large numbers during non-war periods, and this is a war criminal." We have made a preliminary investigation, and if you are not at ease, you can watch the verdict of today's public trial. ”

Song Ke sneered when he heard this, what a liar, he didn't believe that the people of Hutchison had never killed a native on the island? Last year, I also heard that the merchant soldiers of Hutchison fought several times with the natives who came to invade, and I don't know how many natives they killed, but it was only more than half a year, and they wore a pair of pants with the natives?

As the governor of Taiwan, Hutchison's approach is actually understandable, but it is just that it needs a stable environment and indigenous manpower so that the other side will not stumble on Taiwan's development.

Song Ke was depressed at this point, they were foreign colonizers, and they could only use the road of enslavement, unlike Hutchison's own manpower, and the policy towards the natives was still prioritized as not to make trouble, so they could engage in friendly and good-neighborly behavior, the Dutch had no manpower available, of course, they could only sweep and arrest the natives, but he wanted to get along with each other, so who would help them build the castle?

"In short, you can sit on the sidelines." Zheng Zhilong said solemnly: "You can start negotiations directly, our personnel are already waiting, if you are worried that your soldiers will be unjustly judged, it is okay to watch from the sidelines." ”

"Let's go check it out first." Song Ke saw the face of the attaché and knew that most of the direct negotiations would collapse, and he was not a three-headed and six-armed person, and there was no way to do things alone.

At this time, Song Ke couldn't help but complain, just one person, if Hutchison wanted to win over the natives, he would directly kill and pull him down, and make such a big scene, so that everyone couldn't get off the stage, do you still want to negotiate?

……

"Here we are." Lu Da looked at the group of soldiers around him and reminded: "Everyone stand in line, stand in a military posture for me, and give the Dutch a good look!" ”

In fact, without waiting for him to say, who doesn't know that you have to show your best side in front of the enemy?

The peacock still knows that the wind is jealous and blooms its feathers, and a person is not as good as a flat-haired beast?

All the soldiers of the merchant group are holding their heads high, and the muskets in their hands are all bayonets, looking mighty and domineering, especially the veterans, the murderous aura in their eyes is quite obvious, which makes the recruits around them feel quite uncomfortable.

From the trestle to the camp area here, the top of the marching division arranged at least 2,000 soldiers and horses to maintain order, and the final judgment ground used three squadrons, Lu Da and his subordinates felt quite proud, this is the most important occasion, with them, it still shows the trust of the soldiers including Lu Da.

Of course, the soldiers will not have such trust, and the natives around them are afraid that there are not thousands of people, among which more than 100 are nobles such as the head of the society, and these natives have obvious anger in their eyes, if anger can kill people automatically, Nobel would have been cut into a pile of minced meat a long time ago.

Of course, there are also natives who want to try to come over and solve the problem by themselves, and they will not be polite to these merchant soldiers, and they will just go over with the butt of a gun.

After beating more than a dozen people, these wild and untamable natives became honest and stared at Nobel with blinking, for fear that he would run away.

As the victim of the incident, Nobel's face was pale, and his dazzling red hair turned gray-red, and he was really depressed and depressed.

"This is our deputy political officer, Lord Zhang, who is also the chief judge this time, that is Lord Wu of the Department of Military Justice, and that is Lord Jiang, the commander of the regiment, and the two of them are deputy judges."

Zheng Zhilong brought Song Ke and his party in, and designated a blank space for these Dutchmen to stand.

Song Ke and the others were a little uneasy, it seemed that Hutchison was serious here, and he really wanted to have a decent trial.

"Alright, bring the Nobel Prize."

As the chief judge, Zhang Xuwen's expression was quite flat, neither excited nor deliberately put on a cold appearance, after the little Dutchman was brought up, he subconsciously wanted to kneel according to the rules of Daming's side.

Jiang Kui and Military Judge Wu Wei both laughed, it seems that the Dutch have a lot of dealings with the Ming Mansion, and they are really a group of clever ghosts.

The Dutch did deal with the Ming magistrate's government a lot, and even tried every means to connect with the center of the Ming court, nothing more than to learn from the Portuguese and get a piece of territory for themselves as a foothold, what they wanted was Penghu, but the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty were not as confused as they were decades ago, and the Portuguese have always been quite deferential, which also confused many people. The Dutch had a rather bad reputation, no better than the Spaniards, so how could the local officials agree to their request? As for the center, they simply couldn't even find the temple gate where the incense was burned...... Even if they find a way for a certain big person, who would dare to promise to give up a place as big as Penghu to these Yi people to settle down? At the beginning, the matter of Macao made many officials fall into bad comments, Macao is still in Guangzhou, the law in the territory is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yi people are really settled, so it has also come to the point where the tail is too big, who would dare to hand over such a big place as Penghu and the territory of the lonely overseas to the Yi people to settle down?

The Dutch ran into walls everywhere, so they could only come to the hard, and the result was that they were beaten by the Fujian sailors, and they could only settle down in Taiwan, and they met Hutchison again......

Judging from the details, it has not been a day or two since these Yiren people dealt with Daming, and all kinds of things are quite clear.

Decades after the Zheng family settled in Taiwan, the Dutch wanted to grab trade profits with the Zheng family, on the one hand, they blockaded the Zheng family and cut down their trade profits, and at the same time, Japan's lockdown was strengthened, the trade share was greatly reduced, and the Zheng family's strength was greatly damaged.

In the Ming Dynasty, they did not collude in every way, but they hit it off with the Qing court, and it was obvious that this was a combination of two colonial forces......

"You don't have to kneel." Zhang Xuwen stopped him gently, pointed in front of him, and said, "Just stand and talk back." ”

After the general translation, Nobel obviously relieved a lot of pressure, and the official in front of him looked quite kind.

Then the general began to read the guilt, in fact, it is also simple, from the first time the Dutch entered Taiwan in the second year of the Apocalypse, several times in and out of a few years, Nobel is the vanguard of killing the natives, and his subordinates have dozens of lives, and what is worse is that this guy takes human life as a hunting life, and cuts his scalp after killing, this little Dutch is considered to have offended the natives miserably, and when reading the guilt, the natives also have a common voice to spread the same voice, and suddenly there is an endless scolding.

In fact, the natives didn't expect this trial, they still followed the law of the forest, and they fought if they could, and there was no way to defeat if they couldn't lose. Since Hutchison had won the battle by climbing the big tree, the captives were of course left to their disposal, and the idea of the indigenous leaders was to bring people over and strip them alive.

The indigenous leaders and tribesmen did not understand this scene very well, but when they read the accusation, they felt the same way, and their anger erupted like a volcano.

Zhang Xuwen was also very angry, and his eyes swept away the colorless Nobel and Song Ke and others, who had always been gentle and elegant, and he also wanted to order these miscellaneous pieces to be slaughtered...... Of course, this cannot be done, otherwise it will not only ruin a big matter, but also violate the original intention of this trial.

"This case, killing a family of three from a certain family of Wushe, can you plead guilty?"

Several people from the Department of Military Justice are also veterans in the trial, and the aura is there, bringing the bitter masters of the family over, identifying Nobel one by one, the details of the situation are all there, of course, there is no physical evidence, the human skin peeled by Nobel either stayed in Batavia, or sank with the Batavia, but there are so many witnesses and detailed descriptions, Nobel snorted for a long time, and still nodded and admitted that he did it.

"Good." The military judge kept his face calm and led another family over.

Most of them were women and children, and the Dutch still had a bottom line, and most of the men killed were men from various ethnic groups in the mountains.

The whole interrogation process was very long, and although it was quite obvious and certain facts, the military judge still questioned them one by one, made sure of them, and then asked Nobel to press his handprint on the paper on which he had written the case to confirm it.

When he pressed the twentieth seal, the little Dutchman could not bear it anymore, his body softened, and he could not stand steadily, and two tall military magistrates held him on the left and right.

"I'm protesting!" Song Ke said gloomily: "We did kill a lot of natives during the war, but these uncivilized people cannot be regarded as the same kind at all. It is not that we did not try to get along with them and give them wine, meat, and food, but these fellows refused to work after they had eaten up, and tried to hunt us down to cut off their heads, and killing them was not a crime for such a tribe. ”

Zhang Xu laughed angrily, he said: "I know that the indigenous people are uneven, and most of the tribes still have the custom of headhunting, but most of the tribes you kill are seaside tribes, and that is precisely the one who does not hunt for heads. Even the top management of your company is unlikely to accept such behavior. ”

Song Ke froze for a moment, feeling that he had nothing to say, so he could only take a step back and raise his face to express silent protest.

Many of the Dutch also felt embarrassed, and the governor had already come out of the place, and they certainly would not be idle when they gave an account of the past.
