Chapter 41: You have to think clearly

A month later, when I saw Nagu again, it was a sea change. Nagu was originally a powerful and powerful outsider, but he didn't see him for a short time, but he was emaciated, described as withered, his cloak was scattered, and even a layer of stubble growing on the top of his bare head was now growing.

"According to the instructions of the adults, I added a little bit to him every ten days, and now it is exactly a month, and the supply to him has been stopped since the morning before yesterday, who would have thought that people would become like this!" Guo Chai still had palpitations when he said it, and he didn't expect that once he stopped this medicine, the originally strong tartar would become what it is now.

"Don't worry, he can't die!" Zhu Ping'an's feet did not stop, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the cell where Nagu was held.

This was the innermost cell of the Dusi Yamen Prison, far from the other cells, and there were separate passages and guards, and before they could get closer, they heard a heart-rending howl, and the sound was no longer like that of a human being.

The three guards guarding the cell were all pale, and when they saw Zhu Ping'an coming, they hurriedly saluted and lit more candles, illuminating the entire cell as if it were daylight.

But through the iron railing, which was as thick as a baby's wrist, a foul smell wafted out irrepressibly. The guard's face was not very good-looking, and he hurriedly explained: "It's all the villain's fault, I really didn't expect this prisoner to go crazy, he couldn't even control the feces and urine, and he actually pulled the whole house, and the villain waited for a long time to clean up, but he still ......!" ”

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, Guo Chai whispered a few words, and several guards hurriedly retreated.

Nagu in his cell howled and rolled like a beast, his fingers running across the walls. The pointed nails actually left scratches on the stone wall, and the ten fingers were covered with blood, but he didn't realize it, the corners of his mouth kept dripping white foam and saliva, and a face was distorted to the extreme. After a while, he slammed straight into the iron railing. According to Zhu Ping'an's instructions, the railing had been wrapped with a thick cotton cloth, so his move was meaningless.

Zhu Ping'an looked at it carefully for a while, then turned around and walked to a table outside the cell. Guo Chai escaped from a small wooden box. Put it on the table, open the lid, and after a while, a strange fragrance wafts out. In a few moments, the cell was filled.

Nagu, who had seemed to be dying, was suddenly resurrected. A hand towards the position of the box was long. He said vaguely: "Give it to me, please, give it to me." Let me do whatever I want! ”

Zhu Ping'an snapped, closed the box, and said to Guo Chai: "See, this is why I want you to control this thing tightly." The person who smokes this thing, after becoming addicted, is like this, at this time, you let him kill his family, and he will not hesitate! ”

Although Guo Chai has worked hard in the brocade guard for many years, he has never seen such a tragic punishment, but he has never seen the effect of seeing blood stains at all, but controlling people in the palm of his fingers, and then looking at Nagu's appearance, Guo Chai only felt a cool air rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Zhu Ping'an picked up a porcelain spoon on the table, took some Fu Xuan paste from the box, paced to the iron railing of the cell, and handed the porcelain spoon to Nagu.

Guo Chai watched him impatiently bite off half of the porcelain spoon, and then licked the Fu Xuan paste on it cleanly, and then let out a sigh of relief, leaning on the wall, his whole body relaxed, the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood, and a relieved but weird smile gradually appeared on his face.

Guo's heart was shocked, and it wasn't until Zhu Ping'an coughed lightly that he reacted, hurriedly moved a chair, and asked Zhu Ping'an to sit down outside the cell.

After waiting for a while, Nagu slowly calmed down, slowly sat up straight, leaned against the railing, and stared at Zhu Ping'an without blinking, his eyes filled with a fear that could not be concealed, and even a trace of expectation.

Zhu Ping'an took the wooden box from Guo Chai's hand, put it in his hand and played with it gently, Nagu's attention immediately shifted to the top of the wooden box, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously left saliva.

"You already know who I am, don't you?"

Nagu's eyes were fixed on the wooden box, but he nodded.

"You confessed last time, and this entry was ordered by Dolgon himself, and I would rather be fully responsible for planning it, right?"

Nagu nodded.

"So do you know what I'm going to ask you to do next?" Nagu nodded, but shook his head again, a look of pain on his face.

Zhu Ping'an laughed, "Don't worry, what I let you do will definitely be beneficial to your master, Prince Rui." As long as you do what I tell you, not only will your Prince Rui have a chance to get into the throne, but even you will be able to get this blessed ointment on a regular basis and enjoy the taste of this bone-eating ecstasy. ”

Nagu obviously didn't believe Zhu Ping'an's words, and froze in place, without expressing his position.

Zhu Ping'an didn't pay attention to his feelings, and then said: "First of all, I will let you go back, of course, there will be my people who will go back with you, and you have to help him design a safe identity to lurk in Shengjing and settle down." Then I want you to take advantage of the right opportunity to let Ning Wan and me come into contact with this plaster, and what will happen in the future is for you and him to cooperate with each other, how about it? ”

Nagu hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head in agreement.

Zhu Ping'an slapped his palm twice, and a dark shadow walked in from the back door of the cell, but it was a middle-aged man who was not tall but very stocky, and the sleeve of the man's left arm was empty, and he was actually a one-armed man.

"His name is Huo Wu, and he is the one who will return to Guanwai with you this time." Zhu Ping'an suddenly laughed, "Nagu, to be honest, after getting out of Dengzhou." You can kill him and return to Guanwai by yourself, or even if today's events never happened, this is not a problem, it is all up to you. ”

Zhu Ping'an bent down and approached Nagu's face, "However, you have to think clearly, if that's the case, you will have nothing to do with this thing from now on!" With that, Zhu Ping'an threw the box out.

The box fell to the ground, the black ointment was thrown out, and the strange fragrance diffused again, but Nagu, who was in prison, jumped up at once, crying and pleading, his shoulder was rubbed out of blood by the railing, but one hand kept reaching for the ointment on the ground.

Zhu Ping'an suddenly laughed wildly, picked up the wooden box again, and handed it to Huo Wu's hand, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, "Huo Wu will be here with you for the next two days, how to do it, you think clearly, if you decide, you can tell Huo Wu." If you decide to go back to the customs, you will discuss with him the perfunctory Dolgon and Ning finish my way. Then, I will arrange for your formation, I am not short of silver, as long as you can do things, your benefits are indispensable, and of course, there is also the ointment of Fuxuan! ”

After speaking, Zhu Ping'an turned his head and walked straight outside, but after walking a few steps, he stopped, turned around and said, "Nagu, your house in Shengjing is in Guanfang Hutong, right?" The mother-in-law in the family is still a North Korean, I heard that you are not bad to her, and now she has two daughters and a son, what a happy family! ”

After speaking, Zhu Ping'an walked out of the prison without looking back, and behind him was Nagu's desperate shout.

……

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a water village was established on the coast of Shandong, which was built in various guards and was uniformly dispatched by the Yamen of the Capital Division. When Yuan Keli was in charge of Dengzhou, the Denglai Naval Division officially became a separate official and military establishment, and the post of staff general was set up to command the ten battalions of the naval army. The strength of the army is equivalent to the strength of a thousand households, but the strength of the ship is far beyond the strength of a thousand households, which is equivalent to the existence of the sailor as a separate guard.

At its peak, the Denglai Naval Division had ten battalions of naval divisions, each battalion of 510 regular soldiers and 600 auxiliaries. Among them, there are more than 20 large, medium and small ships, such as net shuttle boats, eagle boats, red dragon boats, Cangshan boats, wheel boats, three-masted gunboats, and Haicang ships, as well as eight general guns, 20 Franco machine guns, 40 bowl-mouth guns, 500 nozzle cans, and 80 bird's beak guns.

Today, although there are still more than 200 ships, they are dilapidated, the military port of that year no longer exists, and most of the shipbuilding and repair workshops have survived. Over the years, Tong Wanjun has led the sailors up and down to do some smuggling business to fish and privately do some smuggling business to escort merchant ships, so that he can survive until now, most of the warships are still hung with fishing nets and other equipment. The number of soldiers of the entire Denglai Naval Division has also been sharply reduced to more than 1,000 people, and it is difficult to say that if the whole army is dispatched, I am afraid that even the basic sailors and boatmen will not be able to make up the whole line.

Therefore, when Zhu Ping'an saw that Denglai Sailor was now like this, he simply turned around and left without saying a word. This scared Tong Wanjun a lot, and finally came to a Shangguan who was willing to do practical things, but the sailor became like this, and no one was happy when they saw it.

Who knows, Zhu Ping'an did directly lead a group of officials to kill Weihaiwei directly. Zhu Ping'an also served as the commander of Weihaiwei.

Zhu Ping'an didn't say much, and even if he called Yin Shigang, Hong Fatzi and others over, he explained that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver would be invested to build Weihaiwei into the largest military port in Dengzhou. Since the Hongzhi period, with the implementation of the sea ban policy, the Daming Naval Division has gradually shrunk, and the Denglai Naval Division has been in a state where no one cares about it and leaves it to fend for itself since the Wuqiao Mutiny. The water villages and islands in the Dengzhou sea area were abandoned one by one because they were unable to hold on, and the Denglai Sailors could only stay outside Penglai Port, and in the end, the Beijing Division did not even have a camp.

The top priority now is to build a military port, so that the vitality of the naval division can be restored. What to build ships, recruit sailors, etc., is a later story.

Tong Wanjun was stunned when he heard this, for a long time, regardless of the fact that he was nearly thirty years older than Zhu Ping'an, he actually slammed his head on the ground, crying like a child.

"If the adults can build a water division again, my old boy would rather stay here in Denglai for the rest of his life, even if he is not a water master general, Lao Tong is willing to die here as a soldier!" (To be continued......)
