"Still have questions?"

Looking at the stunned Wang Jin, looking at the prisoner kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back, Zhu Gaoyu asked casually.

"Uh..."

Wang Jin hurriedly shook his head.

"The end will be fine."

Zhu Gaoyu bowed his head and looked at the clerk next to him.

"What about our casualties?"

The clerk hurriedly opened the notebook and reported quickly.

"Governor Yudu, in this expedition, our army has lost a total of 43 people killed and 82 wounded, except for eight seriously injured, the rest are lightly wounded."

Zhu Gaoyu took the notebook and glanced at it, and threw it to Wang Jin behind him.

"Plus five thousand."

"What?"

Holding the notebook, Wang Jin didn't understand what it meant for a while.

"Your Highness said that if they kill 363 of us, they will take 36,300 heads."

"Now that we have lost another 43 people, I am afraid that the 8 seriously injured brothers will not be able to survive, so ......"

Zhu Gaoyu didn't answer, and the chief of the guard, Zuo Jun, who followed him, explained to Wang Jin and other thousands of households in a low voice, and in the end, he gave a look that you understand.

"This..."

For a while, Wang Jin and the others hesitated.

has been with Zheng He all year round, and they have been more or less influenced by Zheng He's thoughts.

It is incumbent upon them to avenge their brothers and kill the enemy for their country.

But this massacre of innocent people, they hesitated for a while.

Even if they didn't have this kind of ideological baggage, and the slaughter of Fanbang's subjects came to the imperial court, they would be sprayed to death by those imperial historians and civil officials.

At that time, His Majesty will probably use them to calm down the situation and appease other subject countries.

"What? Don't you dare, or maybe you big men have all become great sages. ”

Seeing that these guys hesitated, Zhu Gaoyu sneered with a cold face.

"The sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, there is Lao Tzu standing here, what are you afraid of."

"One by one, they are like girls, if you don't want to do it, get out of it immediately, Lao Tzu will come in person!"

Wang Jin and others' concerns, Zhu Gaoyu didn't know.

If he wants to get these people on his thief ship, he has to get them into the water first, and then stand up for them.

Otherwise, why would people let the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty not enjoy it, and run with him to Australia, where birds don't, and open up a new country.

Of course, there are some of his little intrigues involved.

In the future, when these people returned to the dynasty and were attacked by civilian officials, and he stood up to protect them to the death, Zhu Gaoyu didn't believe these iron men, and he was not moved at all.

When the time comes, he will give high benefits and draw a round pie, and Zhu Gaoyu is confident that he will pull half of these officers and soldiers.

These are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and a little training is the billet of the officer, and when the time comes, the army will be expanded on the basis of it, not only will the speed be very fast, but the quality will not drop too much.

Alas, for the sake of the grand goal in his heart, he can only be a sinister villain once.

There really isn't a good person in the upper echelons.

"Your Highness, don't look down on your brothers, isn't it just murder, it is natural to avenge your dead brothers, what is there to dare to do."

Wang Jin's mind was really lively, although he noticed Zhu Gaoyu, the sudden change in tone was a little strange, but he also faintly felt that the other party had the idea of pulling himself and others to his side.

He is now the commander of the left capital of the fleet, and apart from Zheng He and Zhu Gaoyu, his official position is the largest.

But after entering the fleet, he found that following Zheng He, it seemed that his future had come to an end.

After all, as a military general, the only way out if you want to be promoted to the rank of marquis is to fight.

But how many times has Zheng He fought along the way? Most of the time they were acting as showmen, and if they continued like this, his skills and the military books he read would be wasted.

Moreover, the sea voyage is extremely dangerous, and the ship may capsize one day if you are unlucky.

So he wanted to get out of the fleet and find a promising way out.

But the crown prince, Han Wang, Zhao Wang and others, he is not familiar with the relationship, and now it is difficult to find someone who can talk to His Majesty, Wang Jin will naturally not give up.

As for the consequences of going back after killing Fanbang, Wang Jin thought in his heart that Zhu Gaoyu wanted to win them over, and he would definitely do his best to protect them in the future.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Gaoyu's words fell, he was the first to stand up.

At the same time, he secretly gave Zhu Gaoyu a look.

Zhu Gaoyu received the look, pondered in his heart, understood what the other party meant, and assured the officers of the thousand households who were still hesitating: "This governor is not a stingy person, everyone in the court may not be rewarded for this battle, in order not to let the brothers suffer in vain, I decided to divide fifty percent of the capture with all the brothers." ”

Stretching out his hand and patting the shoulders of the three thousand households, Zhu Gaoyu lowered his voice and said, "Even if I can't keep your official position in the future, it's still okay to save your lives." ”

"With this money, plus my care. Even if you don't mix in the army, you can live a good life with these. ”

After Zhu Gaoyu finished speaking, the officers of the thousands of households must have made eye contact, and finally nodded in unison.

It is false to say that they don't want to avenge those brothers who died tragically, but there is no guarantee behind them, and they don't dare to do it.

Now with the guarantee of His Royal Highness King Yue, and a large reward, they have no worries.

One word and you're done!

"Wait a minute!"

A group of officers finally made up their minds, sharpened their knives and prepared to make a move, but Zhu Gaoyu called them back again.

"Governor, do you have any other orders?"

Wang Jin was a little puzzled in his heart.

Is there any requirement for this killing?

Zhu Gaoyu helplessly supported his forehead and pointed to the location of the gap in the city wall.

"Who are you going to let fix such a big hole?"

"Enemy rescue forces will arrive at any time, let them fix the wall first."

"Oooh!"

Wang Jin suddenly drove the prisoners with the officers and began to demolish houses, dig the ground, and repair the gaps in the city.

This busyness is a day.

By the time it got dark, there was no decent building left in Colombo City.

Almost all of them were demolished.

Wang Jin and others not only filled the gap, but also added various defensive equipment to various parts of the city wall.

Although they have already made plans for the next step, there are surprises in everything, so be prepared for the enemy to forcibly attack the city.

The speed of the enemy's reinforcements came faster than expected, and just after midnight, several thousand men and horses gathered outside the city.

Looking at the brightly lit and noisy makeshift camp in the distance.

Zhu Gaoyu touched his chin and asked Wang Jin, who was standing beside him, "Do you dare to kill a wave?" ”

Wang Jin laughed, hugged his fist and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, the Ceylon reinforcement camp resounded with an earth-shattering killing cry.

These guys, who finally rushed over, didn't even hold on for an hour, and they were killed by a thousand households led by Wang Jin.

On the side of the Ming army, not even a few dozen people were killed, only a few dozen people were wounded.

A little pre-war warm-up, and on the afternoon of the second day, the Ceylonese army, which was defending the fleet at the docks, finally rushed back.

However, at this time, this army did not have the vigor when it went out, and it was lifeless.

The flag was crooked, and the soldiers were tired and weak.

To say that they are a legion that has come to the rescue is actually more like a rout army that has just lost a battle.
