Chapter 421: Solemn Armor

Today, Governor Konishi put on his most solemn armor, and his two chicken feathers stood upright in the sky, and he was particularly refreshed.

How much has Chu Fan suffered over the years, just because of him, how many grievances he has suffered in the country, and the next moment, he and the Ming Empire behind him will fall into his hands, haha, it is extremely comfortable.

Thinking of this, Konishi Yukinaga's waist straightened up, and he wanted to use the posture of a victor to condescendingly face that terrible Chu Fan.

At the end of the city wall, Chu Fan looked at his pocket watch, the time was almost up, and motioned for Qin Hong to bring the man up.

I saw Qin Hong turn around, and after a while, he led a person who looked like a sick seedling came up, this person had a yellow complexion, freckles on his face, and his limbs were weakly brought up by Qin Hong.

Chu Fan looked at it and said, "Okay, take him to the stove."

Qin Hong led the sick seedlings into the stove, and soon, bowls of hot noodle soup came out of it, and the guards of the West Factory served the noodle soup to the prisoners of war.

Chu Fan looked at the prisoners of war and said loudly: "Soldiers, I am defeated by you and am about to surrender, I will take you back to your military camp in a while, and before leaving, I will send you a bowl of noodle soup to show respect, Chu has no other requests, there is only one thing, I hope you will take care of it." ”

As he was talking, he saw a group of Xichang factory guards each dragging a tray to the prisoners of war and handing them over.

I only heard Chu Fan continue: "Originally, I could kill you to vent your anger, but for the sake of my dawn people not to be ruined, here I send you some silver taels, begging you to take care of my people, tomorrow we will mobilize the people to move out of the capital, and then you will take over the capital, but there must be people who are too late to leave or reluctant to go, I only hope that you will not kill my subjects, leave them a way to live, I have made a record of your names, after your army enters the city, as long as you do not kill my people, release them from the city, Bear the name of any of you, and I will thank you for your protection, and when the war is over, you can come to me for your promise to receive a reward for every one of your people released."

After the Japanese translation of the factory guard, all the prisoners of war began to talk to each other.

And such a good thing? The second wave of national soldiers came out to fight for nothing else, it was really just to eat and receive a little reward for fighting well, what kind of family and country feelings, national hatred, what does it have to do with these big-headed soldiers? It's incredible that this was captured, and it actually became an opportunity to make money.

Daming has money, this is a well-known name to the people of the country, otherwise they would not have spent a lot of time to run thousands of miles to this land desperately, but it is really difficult to receive rewards on the battlefield, kill a person, take a person's head to receive half a tael reward, and now as long as you put a person, you can get two taels, this is really a profitable deal, haha, being captured is not necessarily a bad thing.

"But where are we going to find you to receive your reward? How can you guarantee that you will pay us? A clever POW immediately asked.

Chu Fan smiled and said, "My name is Chu Fan, you may have all heard of it, right?" You may not know my property in Nanjing, but I can tell you that my personal assets are more than the assets of your country, so I don't believe you to ask them. ”

Immediately afterwards, the factory guards immediately nodded consciously in response.

The factory guards are not fake cooperation, that is a real recognition, Chu Fan is rich, it is not fake, the people of the whole country know that this goods are rich and rival the country, and the country owes Chu Da rich man millions of national debts, not to mention two taels per person, even twenty taels per person, it is just a drop in the bucket for him.

Chu Fan continued: "Today I am going to be a hostage to you, I am in your hands, afraid that I will not give money?" If I break my promise, you can come and stab me in prison. ”

The second wave of national soldiers thought about it, this didn't run away, Chu Fan's name which of the second wave soldiers had never heard of it, the day before yesterday he just shook it at the head of the city, and it made the second wave army consciously retreat several miles, it can be said that it is a big name, everyone knows that this thing is very powerful, then this guy should not be able to fake if he is rich, well, this business only makes money and does not lose.

Chu Fan saw that the prisoners of war of the Cibo Kingdom were talking about it, and cleared his throat and said: "In order to save my people, I will let it go, and how much money will be cashed out for everyone, and please rest assured, but Chu can give you an idea, after you go back, you can tell the news to your comrades-in-arms, they let people go, report your name, you can also get a reward, you half of the points, this is much more than what you do yourself, think about it?" ”

These words made the prisoners of war of the second wave country immediately pause, yes, how many civilians can I protect alone? Let everyone protect me, as long as I report my name, I don't have to do anything, I can make more money, it's just too cost-effective.

So there was another discussion, and I saw that the clever Cibo national soldier took the lead in putting away the silver ingots on the plate, put them in his arms, picked up the soup noodles three times and ate them twice, and slammed the rice bowl, and said: "General Chu, we believe that you are a trustworthy person, and we and our brothers try our best to protect your people, and you can't rely on your debts."

Chu Fan smiled and said, "No, I am in your camp, you can't kill me at any time to vent your anger?" ”

Seeing that the prisoners of war followed closely and put away their silver, finished eating the noodle soup, and dropped their rice bowls, Chu Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with an evil smile: "It's not too early, let's go." ”

Qin Hong suddenly ran over and grabbed Chu Fan's hand, his eyes were full of reluctance, but he bit his lip and didn't say a word.

Chu Fan hugged Qin Hong, patted her on the back, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay, bring a letter to Qiao Feng, you must arrive within 3 days, I will wait for your news." ”

With that, he turned around and walked down the ladder down the wall.

Under the city wall, Governor Konishi stood upright on his horse, looked at Chu Fan with a smile, and when Chu Fan reached the ground, he drove the horse forward a few steps, clasped his hands into fists and said, "There is General Lao Chu." ”

Chu Fan also laughed, clasped his hands into fists and replied: "General Xiaoxi is brave, and Chu is willing to bow down." ”

Xu is Governor Konishi was tortured by Chu Fan too much, even if Chu Fan stood in front of him alone, Governor Konishi still didn't pretend to be condescending, seeing that Chu Fan had no fear, he immediately got up, jumped off the horse, leaned forward, bowed halfway, and said with a smile: "General Chu doesn't have to be too humble, and go back to the camp with me." ”

Chu Fan was also not polite, and walked towards Xiaoxi Xingchang with a big stride.

I wanted to accept Chu Fan's surrender in a high-profile manner, but I didn't want to really meet, but I still couldn't hide the timidity in my heart, and I wandered while walking, and I fell behind Chu Fan unconsciously, as if I had become Chu Fan's entourage.

After all, Chu Fan was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't be too lazy in etiquette, Governor Konishi arranged a tent for Chu Fan, guarded by more than 50 soldiers outside the tent, and the interior was complete with living utensils, but he didn't abuse Chu Fan too much.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of prisoners of war came down from the city wall one after another, and reported back to the camp according to their own formations, without any suspicion during the whole process.

In the few days after Chu Fan entered the hands of the Japanese side, he talked with the second wave army every day about the takeover of the capital, and Chu Fan tried his best to negotiate during the negotiations, bargaining, what suburban land was taken over, the palace was occupied, the private houses were occupied, and so on, Chu Fan was trying every possible way to fight for the interests of the Ming Dynasty and the people, and it seemed that the negotiations were very serious, the attitude was very sincere, and there was no flaw at all.

And all this Chu Fan did was actually just delaying time, he was waiting, waiting for the result.

And after those prisoners of war came back, they were busier than Konishi Yukicho at the negotiating table, and for nothing else, they had to seize the opportunity to make money.

And this kind of thing, it is inconvenient to say it publicly, it is all to call a few good partners, hide in which corner and whisper, after all, the protection of the people of the enemy country cannot be put on the table.

And the result of this is that one passes ten, ten passes hundred, you promise me half points, I develop the downline, we also have half points, no one wants to be only a hard-working laborer, who doesn't want to sit and reap profits?

As a result, the news that the people of the capital could make money by protecting it spread in the barracks like a pyramid scheme, and its spread was unprecedented.

As the news spread, there was another thing, and that was the smallpox virus.

In this era, smallpox is a flu disease, and the people's understanding of it is still very limited, only that this thing is very contagious, so the general treatment method is isolation.

Generally speaking, people who have smallpox are locked up in a house and not allowed to come out until they die or recover on their own, and as long as no one comes into contact with the sick person, the people around them are safe.

And Chu Fan, as early as the first time he met Wan Mi Zhai in the capital, he thought of eliminating this virus, so he secretly collected the cowpox virus with Wan Mi Zhai, after Chu Fan's guidance and Wan Mi Zhai's exquisite technology, soon the smallpox vaccine - cowpox came out, but before it had time to promote it in large quantities, the second wave of the army hit the doorstep, so Chu Fan, Qin Hong, Wan Mi Zhai and others have carried out injection tests on their own, although the effect has not been verified, but Qin Hong and Wan Mi Zhai have fever after injecting cowpox, And Chu Fan didn't have any reaction, it should have taken effect, and Chu Fan also proved through this incident that his body is indeed from the 21st century, because he is equivalent to having cowpox, so he did not have any rejection reaction after being injected again.

After that, all the factory guards in the West Factory quietly injected cowpox under Qin Hong's arrangement, after the fever process of the first two days.

This morning, everything has returned to normal, which means that they all have antibodies, so at the last moment, except for the prisoners of war of the second wave army, everyone on the castle tower has antibodies, so they invited the smallpox patient who was easy to find to the castle tower, and arranged for his saliva to be mixed with the soup noodles, in order to ensure that each captive was infected, the silver ingots given to the captives were also smeared with fresh smallpox patient saliva.

Smallpox has not occurred many times in East Asia, and all occur in China, so since ancient times, Chinese have their own methods to deal with smallpox, isolation, self-healing these everyone understands, and the second wave of the Chinese can be described as no understanding of this matter, very stupid and naΓ―ve, one is sick, the other also quickly helped to take care of the sick, after taking care of the sick, and returned to their own barracks, what to do, which is also the main reason for the spread of the virus.

This series of operations is both meticulous and hidden, and those prisoners of the Cibo Army who took the money and drank the soup noodles could not have imagined that someone actually used biological and chemical weapons in this era, this may be Chu Fan's revenge for the crimes committed by a certain biochemical unit of the Cibo Army three hundred years later.

Soon, the released prisoners of war began to fall ill.

Just when Chu Fan and Governor Konishi were negotiating to the point where they had nothing to say, and basically finalized all the matters after the second wave army entered the city, there was a riot in the second wave army camp.

After the prisoners fell ill, large numbers of Polish troops began to fall ill, first with fever, then with fatigue and weakness, and with limp limbs.

Nearly 10,000 people fall ill every day, and the number of cases is expected to increase further.

When Governor Konishi brought Chu Fan to the camp again, his eyes were already full of bloodshots.

"Chu Fan, this is your trick again, right?"

Chu Fan shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, as if admitting it, and as if he was helpless not admitting it.

Xiao Xi Xingchang roared: "Chu Fan, I fought with you." ”

With that, he took out his saber and slashed at Chu Fan.

But Chu Fan said unhurriedly: "These people will die within ten days, including you." ”

Konishi Yukinaga's knife stopped in mid-air, and the whole person froze.

Yes, looking at the current trend, almost everyone in the second wave army is not immune, and it is unknown whether they have been tricked.

In fact, people are dead, and they can get rid of the relationship, this thing suddenly gets sick, and you can't see what you can't touch, who knows what the reason is, but Konishi Yuki's own life is not a joke, if it is lost in China, his concubines don't know how many grass-green hats they will wear for themselves?

Isn't it that the family property that I have managed for so many years can no longer be enjoyed?

Thinking of this, this knife can't be cut down.

"Chu Fan, do you have a way?"

Chu Fan still shrugged his shoulders ambiguously and smiled, but did not speak.

"If you can save us, I can spare you from dying, if I die, you Chu Fan will definitely not live."

Chu Fan said disdainfully: "I'm here, I don't plan to go back alive, if you want to kill me, do it at any time, but whether I can save you or not, it depends on my mood." ”

A naked threat, this is a naked threat, a hostage, in the hands of someone else, actually dares to threaten the master nakedly, this is simply an insult to President Konishi.

However, Konishi Yukinaga succumbed.

Governor Konishi said with a smile: "General Chu, I am ignorant, I am incompetent, I have been defeated in your hands again, we don't want the capital, we withdraw our troops, you raise your noble hand and save us." ”

Chu Fan smiled, cocked Erlang's legs and said, "Well, you still have to be sincere in doing things, but if I save you, you are sick, and you want to kill me and attack the capital, what can I do?" What do you pledge? ”

In fact, once smallpox begins to spread on a large scale, there is basically no way except isolation, and once smallpox is born, there is no treatment except self-healing.

In order to save his life, Governor Konishi could not be said to be unhappy, and immediately said: "If General Chu has any requests, just mention it." ”

Chu Fan saw that Governor Konishi had become an ant on a hot pot, squinted his eyes and said: "Well, in fact, this disease, God saw that your killing karma was too heavy, and punished you, I just invited the plague god on the city tower, and it is not difficult to save you at this time, just send the plague god away." ”

After all, the people of Cibo are a barbaric and backward people, and medicine and biology are basically blank for Cibo country, and when they encounter such a large-scale plague, the military doctors can't tell the cause, let alone understand this invisible way of transmission, it's because you pull it on the ghosts and gods, how can they not believe it? It's not ghosts and gods, how can so many people get sick for no reason?

Governor Konishi asked timidly: "Then dare to ask adults, how to send them away?" ”

"I will open the altar and sacrifice the living."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals of the second wave army were shocked at first, and said in their hearts, Do your Ming immortals have such high requirements? Do you want to live?

But then I thought about it, just send a few people who are about to die of illness to sacrifice, as long as it can save everyone's lives, it can't be said that it is not cost-effective.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Fan added: "However, there are too many people who are sick with you, and this time it will be useful to sacrifice talents with high official positions." ”

As soon as these words came out, you look at me, I look at you, they were all dumbfounded, their eyes began to avoid, and they didn't dare to look at Chu Fan, for fear that Chu Fan would be unhappy, and if they hit themselves, then they would explain, everyone knew in their hearts that as long as they could save everyone's lives at this time, no one would feel sorry for whoever they sent out.

Konishi Yukicho said: "Why do you have to be a person with a high official position? What's the difference? ”

Chu Fan arched his hand in the direction of the eastern sky, and pretended to be mysterious: "As the saying goes, it is easy to invite the gods and it is difficult to send the gods, and the gods also depend on your sincerity. ”

And at this time, it was no one else who was secretly happy in his heart, it was the political enemy of Konishi Yukicho, Nagata Kuromasa.

Nagata Heizheng has a book in his heart, and in terms of official position, he is naturally the biggest governor of your Konishi line, so if you want to sacrifice a living person, it is naturally the best effect to sacrifice you, at this time, of course, the leader must lead by example.

If you shirk it, it will be disloyal to the empire and unjust to your brothers.

Haha, this time you Konishi Yukichang sacrifice is death, not sacrifice or death, you are dead, I, Nagata Heimasa, is the first chief, everything you have will be swallowed by me, hum, your beautiful concubine, I have coveted it for many years, and if you die, it will all be mine.

Unconsciously, Nagata Kurosama showed a bright smile, but it formed a sharp contrast with the others present, which was particularly obvious.
