Chapter 424: Da Ming has a mole
The envoy's surname is Mei, named Mei Songling, when he was a child, his father was forced to go to Nanyang for a living, and took him to cooperate with the red-haired ghost, but he was calculated.
The repeated changes frightened him, not only did he not dare to take revenge, but respectfully took refuge in the Hongmao country and became a member of the family.
It turned out that there were many businessmen from the red-haired country in his hometown, and he was proficient in the red-haired language, so he was favored by the leader of the red-haired devils and recommended him to be an envoy, specifically to persuade the Ming people who were arrested.
Lu Ning was a little angry and reprimanded directly.
"There are no troops from the Hongmao Country along the coast of my Daming, why are there people being arrested?"
Mei Songling didn't dare to hide it, so he told him that among the pirates of the Red Hair Country, there were dozens of Ming people who returned to Shun, and there were many merchants among them.
These people went to several cities along the coast of Daming, colluded with local gentry, robbed some women and loaded them onto slave ships, and sold them to red-haired people.
It was the collusion of officials and businessmen again, and the command knife in Lu Ning's hand slashed fiercely into the ground, which frightened the traitor Mei Songling.
"The general spares his life, the little one is just an envoy, he has never done this, and when he came to the general today, he only came by order, you must not attack me."
Lu Ning snorted and said speechlessly.
"In order to survive, don't even recognize your ancestors? You're a real talent. ”
The man hurriedly kowtowed.
"The general is angry and spares the life of the villain, and the villain will definitely abandon the darkness and return to the arms of my Daming."
Saying that, he greeted Lu Ning again, and he did everything.
These soldiers around Lu Ning are all straightforward people, so they naturally sound very harsh and scold one after another.
"Shameless, brute, a rat who has forgotten his ancestors!"
Some people still wanted to do it directly, but Lu Ning stopped them.
He said expressionlessly.
"Since you sincerely repent, Ben will give you this opportunity, you will tell me the list of those officials and gentry who colluded with the red-haired pirates on the land of Daming, Ben will go to verify, if it is true, I will spare your life."
Mei Songling was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and hurriedly said.
"The villain is willing to say anything, just to spare me a dog's life!"
Lu Ning waved his hand and called a few documents from the army, asking them to record a confession for this Mei Songling.
At this time, several high-ranking generals got together and asked Lu Ning how to break through this palace?
Lu Ning called a few apprentices to him, and proposed that they should take an airship to the sky above the palace, parachute in, and come to the center to blossom.
At this time, Lan Yu walked out without giving up and asked Ying directly.
"General, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, if there is any problem, kill the head of the last general!"
Lu Ning knew that Lan Yu was a general, and his military talent was not below Xu Da.
So he nodded, Zhu Xiongying was very envious, and naturally wanted to ask for an order to fight, but was stopped by Lu Ning.
"Later, in the name of your eldest grandson of Emperor Daming, you will shout at the other party's city tower and tell those red-haired ghosts that those who surrender will not die, and if they resist stubbornly, they will all be killed!"
Now the highest status in the army is this emperor's eldest grandson, who has been fighting with the army in the past few days, and has made many military exploits, and his prestige in the army is also in full swing.
Seeing that the generals were all looking at him eagerly, Zhu Xiongying had no way to shirk.
"Okay then, I'll listen to Master."
At this time, that Mei Songling had already told all the lists of traitors in the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Ning felt that this matter was not trivial, so he called his brother Lan Tianping.
"Brother, I still need you to work hard, return to Daming by boat quickly, hand over this list to Your Majesty, and ask him to severely punish these local tyrants, shoddy gentry and corrupt officials."
Although Lan Tianping's military talent is not as good as that of the generals present, he is honest and reliable, and he did not hesitate to ask for a ship and returned quickly.
At this time, Lu Ning began to interrogate that Mei Songling.
"Mei Songling, what did the red-haired leader tell me?"
"Our King ......"
As soon as I said this, my cheeks ached inexplicably, presumably because the memory of being pumped just now was still vivid.
"The general forgives the sin, the villain has been used to it all these years, and it was the red-haired ghost named Aoi Song who threatened you that if you don't withdraw your troops, you will ruin all the Ming women in the city to death."
Lu Ning snorted and said.
"The Ming army came here from thousands of miles away, and it was lonely? This red-haired ghost is really big, you go and ask him to wash his neck and wait for Lao Tzu's knife to cut it! ”
A cool breeze came from the back of Mei Songling's neck, and he quickly knelt on the ground.
The general was angry, and the villain did not dare to go back. Just go back, those red-haired ghosts won't have to cook me and eat it! ”
Lu Ning's brows furrowed, and he was speechless for a while.
"These red-haired ghosts still eat living people?"
"In fact, they did not take these captives for their pleasure, but when they were short of food on the voyage, they used them as military rations."
At this time, Lu Ning was completely angry and said directly.
"If you don't go back, don't go back, let me tell you, in less than an hour, this red-haired ghost town will be breached by me soon, and I will settle accounts with these red-haired ghosts when the time comes!"
The hostages held at the head of the city still did not withdraw, and Lu Ning's encirclement did not withdraw, and the two sides were in a stalemate in place.
At this time, Lu Ning's airship ignited again, and the Ming army landed in the city again.
This time, in addition to the rifle, he also carried enough grenades to bombard the red-haired ghosts who came to encircle and suppress them, and in a short time the corpses were scattered all over the ground.
The city was in chaos, and the red-haired ghosts on the city wall naturally didn't have the heart to defend the city, so they were so frightened that they abandoned those prisoners of war and hurriedly found a way to escape.
When Lu Ning led the troops over, he suddenly found that the drawbridge in front of the city gate was released, and then the city gate was wide open, and the figures of the Ming army were standing at the head of the city.
The Ming army continued to drive towards the city, and these red-haired ghosts saw that the Ming army was unstoppable, and began to rout towards the inner city.
