Chapter 173: Killing People in the South
Jiang Ning sat down quietly and said loudly: "Let me ask you, how were you captured by pirates, and how did you come all the way from Francoji to Daming?" ”
Diana bit her lip and said sadly:
"My family lived by the sea, and the whole town was plundered by pirates, and I and many others were caught on ships.
The vicious pirates asked me to do hard labor on the ship, and it was just over two years before I was recently sold as a slave.
I thought that the dark days awaited me, but I didn't expect to come to such a luxurious place.
The adults are also so handsome, Diana is willing to be the slave of the adults for life, and please take me in.
I can do anything, I can do anything. ”
Jiang Ning smiled slightly and praised: "The Chinese language is very pure, the words are correct and round, I don't look at my face, I really think you are a Jiangnan beauty." ”
Diana's eyes were a little weak, and she hurriedly said: "The pirates have captured a lot of Ming people, I learned from them." ”
"Oh?"
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes: "Where are those pirates?" What about the strength? ”
Diana blinked her beautiful eyes and said:
"They were parked in Luzon until they sold me.
As for strength, there were five large ships, dozens of artillery pieces, three or four hundred pirates. ”
"Luzon?"
Jiang Ning chewed on the words carefully.
It seems that this group of pirates is not the same group as Malacca.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ning raised his head and said, "Thank you very much for answering me truthfully, now that you can go down, I will let someone arrange a room for you." ”
Diana looked panicked and said, "Don't you want me to serve?" I'm already a slave girl to adults. ”
Jiang Ning looked like a frightened deer, a pitiful exotic beauty, it was impossible to say that he didn't have any ideas in his heart.
But as soon as he thought of He Yuyao's resentful appearance before, somehow, he didn't have this kind of thought.
"I don't need to, you can go down."
Diana was in a hurry, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said:
"Do you dislike me? I'm clean, I promise!
The pirates, including the captains, many of whom were Christians, abstained from alcohol and abstinence from alcohol, and I was able to escape. ”
She has come into contact with many Ming people, so she naturally knows that the Great Ming Rite Sect has an extraordinary dedication to this aspect.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
Such a pure and charming girl, who has been in the pirate ship for more than two years, and now says that she has not been touched.
Even if there were any Christians, there would certainly be no shortage of vicious bandits.
What a liar!
But Jiang Ning could tell from Diane's look that she was indeed not lying.
In this case, what she said before was a lie.
At least not all of them.
"It has nothing to do with it, I really don't have the heart to do that right now."
Jiang Ning shouted outside: "Come on, take this girl down and settle down well." ”
"Yes."
Two maidservants waiting outside the door walked in and invited Diana out of the house, one left and one right.
Subsequently, Jiang Ning went to the study again to find He Yuyao.
"My lord, are you all right so soon?"
When He Yuyao saw Jiang Ning, she snorted violently.
Jiang Ning reacted and glared angrily: "What, I didn't touch her, let people settle her." ”
"Really?"
Although He Yuyao had the idea of letting Jiang Ning relax, now that he knew that he didn't have this mind, he couldn't stop being happy in his heart.
And if she knew the real reason why Jiang Ning was like this, I was afraid that she would not be excited to press him to the ground.
Replace the exotic beauty to do what she didn't finish.
Jiang Ning sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said:
"The girl's name was Diana, and she was from Franco, and she said she had been taken captive by pirates.
There are a lot of suspicious points, and you have to find a way to get close to her and find out what is going on. ”
He Yuyao put away her smile and said, "My lord said that the woman would be specially sent by Lin Sangun?" ”
"I didn't think so.
At most, Lin Sangun wanted to see my attitude, but he didn't take such a risk.
It's just that he had good intentions, but he accidentally sent a suspicious woman. ”
Jiang Ning repeated what Diana had told him exactly as he was.
He Yuyao frowned and said, "The slave family understands. ”
At this time, Wu Chounu ran over again.
"My lord, this is a secret letter sent by the secret agent of Fujian Jinyiwei."
Jiang Ning took it and saw that the fire paint used for sealing on it was intact before taking it apart to check.
I saw that the content inside was written in a mess and couldn't be read at all.
"Yu Yao, take the survey of Jinyiwei."
"Yes."
Since Zhang Cai fell to Jiangning, in order to show his sincerity, he has presented all the survey versions used by Jinyiwei from the Hongwu period to the present.
And the so-called exploration is the password verification of later generations.
"My lord, give it."
Jiang Ning immediately carefully proofread word by word.
As he went deeper, his face became more and more ugly.
In the end, he exuded a murderous aura all over his body, and his eyes were extremely cold.
"Ugly slave."
"The subordinates are here."
Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and said:
"Immediately pass on this official's edict and mobilize 10,000 troops to go south to Fujian with this official and kill people!
Remember not to let out a rumor, just say that the official is going to Fujian, and now that the Japanese rebellion is serious, the official is going to inspect the town. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Wu Chounu will not ask why, he will only firmly carry out all Jiang Ning's orders.
After he left, He Yuyao suddenly held Jiang Ning's hand that was trembling with cold sweat, and said with a worried face:
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ning's eyes were red, and he said coldly:
"The roots of Fujian's political envoys are rotten, and the political envoys, envoys, commanders, commanders, and others connived at the southbound Japanese to wreak havoc throughout Fujian, burning, killing and looting.
More than a dozen cities were captured, and even a few towns were slaughtered, but they didn't care.
Not only did they not move forward in fear, but they also retreated their soldiers and horses into the city and did not come out, which was heinous! ”
He Yuyao said softly with relief:
"My lord, isn't this a little more serious than the situation in the Jiangnan guard before, why make such a big fuss.
When the 1,000-man team plays a role in Fujian, the form will definitely improve. ”
Jiang Ning shook his head, gritted his teeth and said:
Not only that, Cai Jiayi, the political envoy of Fujian, joined forces with Fang Liu, the envoy of Fujian and others, to give the eight warships that had just been delivered to the Fujian Navy, as well as the artillery on them, to the Japanese Kou, as well as the treasury of a full 100,000 taels of silver.
With these, the Japanese had the strength to attack the city all the way, shelling several county towns along the coast, and the people were killed and wounded.
And all this is to keep Fuzhou safe and keep yourself safe! Even in the name of emergency tax collection during the war, they continued to collect taxes from the people to fill the gap in the Qi treasury. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Nan clenched his fists tightly and said:
"Yu Yao, no matter what time it is, traitors are more hateful than widows!"
Five days later.
Compared with the whole territory of Fujian being poisoned by the Japanese invaders, the people are not living well, and the water is in dire straits, the city of Fuzhou is still full of singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death.
In the splendid inner hall of the Yamen, Cai Jiayi, the political envoy, Fang Liu, the commander of the navy, Xiang Zhong, the commander of the navy, and Du and other officials of the same size gathered together and staggered their plans.
"Come on, come on, I'll wait for a toast to Lord Cai.
This time, Fuzhou City can be so stable and peaceful, and the country and the people are safe, but it is all due to Lord Cai's personal dealings with the Japanese and his unearthly schemes. ”
"Haha, you're polite, you're so polite."
Cai Jiayi stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine.
Memorable.
At this moment, a dusty man broke in.
"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!"
"Huh?"
Cai Jiayi put down his wine glass, saw the person who came, and was shocked.
This is the henchman he sent to Hangzhou City to inquire about the news.
Although he said it well in the official document, he personally led the officers and soldiers, fought endlessly against the Japanese and swore not to retreat.
But that's all.
If the Japanese received the silver taels of the warship and did not leave, they would inevitably be exposed.
So he sent someone to Hangzhou to find out the news and prepare early.
"My lord, Hangzhou, the one from Hangzhou who went south to Fujian is here."
"What?"
Everyone changed color in unison.
"He said that he wanted to inspect the anti-Japanese situation and personally supervise the battle, but he deliberately brought tens of thousands of horses, fully armed, and looked at the people who came not well.
And at that time, the official documents of the adults were only sent to the yamen on the back foot.
If it weren't for the villain guarding outside the yamen all the time, I am afraid that it would be easy to find out what was wrong. ”
Cai Jiayi swallowed his saliva and stumbled: "Could it be that it was discovered?" ”
Fang Liu's face was nervous and said: "My lord, I have long heard that the inner factory is pervasive, so I really leaked the news." ”
"How's that for good?
If we don't confess, let's just say that we are delaying the army, in order to make the Japanese loosen their vigilance. ”
Cai Jiayi's fat old face was defeated miserably.
Du Tong hurriedly said:
"My lord, no, that person is ruthless, and the group of old ministers left by the first emperor don't know how many of them have been defeated by him, how can they easily let us go.
What's more, these things we have done are the sins of the Nine Clans.
In this case, simply do nothing, and do not stop! ”
Everyone looked shocked: "What do you mean?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, my lords, it was the Japanese who received the news and intercepted them halfway, and I just didn't rescue them effectively."
