Chapter Seventy-Five: Occupation of Jeju Island
"What's your name? What about the rest of you? Are they all here? ”
The king of Tamna didn't have time to escape, so he could only hide on the island with his subordinates, but there were too many of them, and the Sui army divided into ten teams and conducted an overall search of the whole island, so they were quickly found. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
King Tamna is a middle-aged man in his forties, he is slightly chubby, dull-headed, much like a lewd uncle in later generations, if he sees him for the first time without knowing his identity, Liu Zhi will not associate him with the word king.
"The general spares the general's life, I said, I will say everything, I just ask the general not to hurt my family!"
This person knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and Liu Zhi felt strange that he could actually speak Chinese, and he was still very proficient.
"Whether your life can be saved or not depends on whether you are honest or not, if you confess everything, then General Ben will naturally be lenient, my Great Sui Heavenly Army has always been merciful, and I will not care about you barbarian small states!"
"Yes, yes, the villain will say, this will say!"
"The villain's name is Wang Zheng, he is the king of Tamna country, we have a total of 2,106 households in Tamna country, with a population of more than 11,000 people, and more than 500 people with armor, it is those people who were discovered by the heavenly army with me, in addition to the population, there are a total of 30,000 acres of fertile land on the island, more than 2,000 stones of grain, and more than 500 small boats, most of which are used for fishing, in addition to these small boats, there are also fifteen large ships on the island, these are the means of transportation we use when trading with Baekje, Silla and the Wa Kingdom, ranking generals, We are small and widowed in the country of Tamluo, there are only these things, the villain will never dare to hide his secrets, he has already confessed everything, if the generals don't believe the villain's words, they can send someone to the treasury to count it! ”
Qin Qiong glanced at Liu Zhi, wanting to confirm his opinion, Liu Zhi stared at this person, and saw that although he looked obscene, he was also wearing extremely down-and-out, and he couldn't tell that he was born as a noble king at all, but he took a closer look and found that there was a shallow mark on the index finger of this person's hands, which looked like a ring or something left by long-term wear, and at this time the ring was still missing, obviously he was afraid of being robbed by the Sui army, so he deliberately hid it.
This Wang Zheng's performance is so obvious, if he wants to say that he is not hiding his secrets, Liu Zhi will not believe it, so he shook his head slightly at Qin Qiong, indicating that there is something greasy in this.
Qin Qiong nodded, knowing what he meant, looked at Wang Zheng, snorted, and said: "Wang Zheng, I see that you are deliberately entertaining General Ben, come on, pull down this deputy general beside him and cut it down, I remember that he resisted the most fiercely just now!" ”
Wang Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and he almost wanted to open his mouth to plead, but he met Qin Qiong's cold gaze head-on, which made him have to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
And several vicious sword and axe men could not be distinguished, and rushed up and dragged down his lieutenant.
"The general spares his life, he is wronged, the king saves me, the king saves me!"
Wang Zheng's lieutenant obviously didn't want to die, so he tried his best to ask for help, but in the face of big interests, Qin Qiong didn't have any opinion on sacrificing a small person like him.
"How? Have you figured it out, my lord? Do you want to tell me what you're hiding? ”
Not long after the deputy general was dragged out, there was a scream outside, and then the soldiers of the Sui army brought in a bloody head, Wang Zheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was the deputy general who had been dragged out just now, only to see his expression hideous, his face was unwilling and stunned, as if he was unwilling to be betrayed like this.
Wang Zheng was terrified, he had been pampered all his life, and there were no enemies in the country of Tamluo, so he had barely seen a dead person when he grew so big, not to mention that the people around him were almost killed in front of him, and when he thought that if he didn't confess honestly, the fate might follow in the future, Wang Zheng's heart was even more frightened.
"I said, I said, there is a pool in the backyard behind my palace, and there are a few boxes under the pool, and this box is full of treasures from our Tamna Kingdom for so many years, I don't want it, I don't want it all, I just ask the generals not to kill me, I beg you!"
Qin Qiong and Liu Zhi glanced at each other, wanting to confirm whether what he said was true or false, Liu Zhi suddenly asked a strange smell, he looked down, and saw that there was a dark yellow liquid flowing out between Wang Zheng's legs, it was really fishy, and he couldn't help but be stunned, this person was scared to pee like this, how could he have been a king for decades!
Wang Zheng really didn't hide anything this time, the Sui soldiers rushed into his palace, saying that it was the palace, but in fact it was just a larger courtyard, which was inferior to the mansions of those famous families in the Central Plains, let alone compared to the palace of the Great Sui.
However, it is not easy for them to build such a building on such a small island, after all, everything here is very backward.
Luo Cheng led people into the courtyard, according to the position Wang Zheng said, sent soldiers to dive into the water, and sure enough, he found a few boxes, and the Sui soldiers immediately used ropes to put these boxes on, and then everyone worked together to quickly pull these boxes ashore.
Although the country of Tamna is not big and the population is not large, but the number of treasures of their royal family is really a lot, there are a total of fifteen in these boxes, each box is full of gold, silver and jewelry, looking at the number is estimated to be no less than tens of thousands of vehicles, these money is a lot of money even in the Central Plains, so after getting this money, Qin Qiong seemed very excited.
He is not a lover of money, but if they have this money, they can do a lot of things, such as buying some food and medicine that are urgently needed at the moment, as well as building some agricultural tools, buying some cattle and other livestock and poultry, and most importantly, they can use this money to house more people, the population of this island is too small, and if you want to develop further, then the population is indispensable.
"Mr. Liu, we have found a total of 150,000 taels of gold and 400,000 catties of grain on the island, which is enough for our army to eat for half a month, what are we going to do next?"
At present, the situation on the island has been generally stabilized, the army of Tamna is very small, only five hundred, and when they found their king, they have all been served in a pot, and the inhabitants of the island are very in awe of these troops from the Central Plains, they have never seen such a large number of people, such a mighty army, such a well-equipped army, and they themselves are very scattered, most of them are small villages, scattered all over the island, and they themselves lack iron weapons in their own hands, Therefore, there is no way to confront the Sui army at all, and the military discipline of the Sui army is not bad after landing on the island, and there are not too many violations of discipline, and there is no crime against the people, so they are gradually used to the Sui army stationing on the island.
In this way, Qin Qiong will have to consider the next plan, after all, they still have more than 20,000 people on Bird Island who have not been picked up, although Dou Jiande's army has no sailors and cannot cross the sea, but if they suddenly find a boat, those 20,000 people will be very dangerous.
