The fleet continued to move forward, and when they entered the harbor, the only pier on the island was in front of them. Two or three dilapidated sampans were abandoned. As the waves rolled and rolled, the island was filled with smoke. It was obvious that the pirates had set fire to most of the supplies before escaping.
When they got closer, all the navy soldiers were stunned...
The sea water near the pier has been dyed red with blood. On the pier, beside the pier, and in the sea, there are corpses of women and old men everywhere. They have been floating and sinking for many years. The blood stains on the shore extend to the area under the only hill on the island. The houses were in such miserable condition that they looked like hell on earth.
Most of the navy soldiers have military experience, and many of them have fought with Turks with real swords and guns, and have even witnessed villages being plundered by Turkic cavalry. The tragic situation in front of them is much worse than that of the Turks. The cruelty is exactly the same, even more so. After all, the Turks mostly plundered young men and women, and killed young children and the elderly. However, these pirates massacred young and old without distinction.
Kong Yingda stood at the bow of the boat, trembling all over and his eyes were red. The great Confucian who lived a prosperous life and dealt with knowledge all his life was a well-educated scholar. The tragic situation after this kind of massacre has only been seen in books, and the most tragic and tragic "Five Husbands" can only be imagined in his mind. Wow, how can one be so shocked by seeing it with one’s own eyes?
Back then, the Hulu regarded the Han people as "two-legged sheep." How are these pirates different from them?
"Beasts, a bunch of beasts! A defenseless woman poses no threat to them at all. What's more, they have already escaped, so why should they be so cruel and kill them all? It is so unconscionable that both humans and gods have been abandoned, and everyone has to be killed. Of……"
Kong Yingda is indeed a well-educated scholar, and his moral standards are definitely among the highest in the world. His eyes are red with anger, but he keeps saying these few words over and over again, and he can't even say a harsh curse...
However, Fang Jun felt that it would be beneficial for the old master to see such a miserable situation.
The reason why the so-called Qingliu civil servants in history kept saying "a land of etiquette and righteousness" and "moral generosity" was mostly because they just sat in the bustling city and watched the battle reports in front of them, and did not intuitively realize the crimes committed by those foreign races. The heinous crimes they committed did not have the more intuitive shock, anger, and sadness, so they just talked about it and never thought that those alien races were fundamentally different from them.
Fang Jun looked at the tragic situation on the island and asked Kong Yingda: "If the pirates are captured alive later, should they be treated harshly? First, take them back to Huating Town for interrogation to see if anyone will wake up. After all, they are all Since we are Han people, it is not unforgivable to go astray and do wrong things for a moment..."
After hearing this, Kong Yingda suddenly exploded.
His fingers touched Fang Jun's nose, and he sprayed saliva on Fang Jun's face: "What did you say? They are all Han people? Can they be forgiven? Can they be treated harshly? Is there something wrong with your brain, you little bastard? Are those pirates still there? Humans? Interrogation is nonsense! They have no humanity at all. If they treat such things as inferior to beasts, they must kill them all and leave no one behind! I hope they will wake up, you might as well hope that I can go into battle to kill the enemy with a sword! "
Fang Jun wiped the saliva from his face, nodded, and ordered to the left and right: "Leave one person from one brigade behind and land on the island for me to search carefully. If there are any pirates, kill them immediately. If there are any injured, kill them immediately." Help! The rest of the gang will follow me to pursue the pirates. Listen carefully, no prisoners will be taken, and we will kill them without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
The soldiers on the nearby warships shouted in unison, and then spread from ship to ship. For a moment, the roar of "kill without mercy" vibrated and spread across the wide sea, with overwhelming momentum! The soldiers had already been filled with anger by the tragic situation before them, and they wanted to catch up with the pirates immediately and tear these beasts into pieces one by one. Their morale was through the roof!
The Wuya warship immediately set sail, followed by more than a hundred warships behind the stern. When it had just completed its turn in the harbor, dozens of warships rushed up to the shoal from behind. The soldiers jumped directly into the sea water, completed the landing, and headed towards the shoal. Rushed to the island.
The five-tooth warship raised its flag, rode the wind and waves, and sailed south along the island.
Returning to the cabin, Fang Jun asked his guide: "The bandits are escaping. Are there any islands or harbors nearby for them to hide in?"
The guide is an old pirate from a large-scale gang who was captured by the navy a few days ago. He is responsible for leading the way. Betraying the island owner is a heinous crime according to the rules of the pirates. His life is in Fang Jun's hands. Fang Jun does not need to kill him. He only needs to abandon him in this sea area. There is no way to survive at all. Any pirate can kill him and then take his head to the sea to collect the reward...
"There are many islands in Haizhongzhou, and there are countless harbors that can be docked. However, judging from the small view, covering the sea will not go too far. After all, this island has been managed by him for decades. It is almost impossible to find a place like this again. It’s impossible, so I will definitely stay nearby and see if there is an opportunity to visit the island more, so I won’t give up completely.”
Fang Jun looked at the guide. He had dark skin and a rough appearance, but his thinking was clear and his words and deeds were quite calm. He asked curiously: "Have you read a book?"
The guide gave a wry smile: "My hometown is in Hejian County, and my family once had a small fortune. When I was a child, I went to a private school for a few days and knew a few words. Later, Dou Jiande rebelled, and my family has always had deep grudges with the Cao family of Dou Jiande's wife's family. , his house was ransacked on random charges, and his whole family died tragically. The young boy went out at that time and was warned by the villagers, so he escaped by boating to the sea. After that, he fell into the sea and was taken under his command by Gai Dahai. To be honest, I've been working as a villain over the years, and I've done a lot of bad things, so I don't dare to hope for survival, I just hope that the general manager can give me a happy life for the sake of leading the way."
Fang Jun was confused: "This... is not easy to handle. If according to my opinion, they are all Han people, they will always give a chance if they go astray. But this old Master Kong is not willing. He said that pirates Everyone gets it and kills him. You don't know, this old man is very powerful, and I dare not disobey him. Therefore, if you have injustice in your heart, you will not come to me even if you become a evil spirit. The grievance has its owner and the debtor has its owner. You can do whatever you want. Go find this old Master Kong..."
Kong Yingda snorted twice, rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell are you planning on doing, you little bastard? You really think I'm an old fool? You just want to use my name to sell people who are not my tribe." Words like "The heart must be different" are spread out, and if those civil servants Qingliu are worried when they talk about the country of etiquette, benevolence, righteousness and morality in the future, you can do whatever you want in the land of foreigners... I said you are young, Why are you so murderous?"
Am I too murderous?
It's because you, the old man, have not seen the misery of future generations...
Do you expect a Chinese who understands the massacre of the Mongols, the entry of Qing troops into the country, and the Anti-Japanese War to have a favorable impression of those foreign races? Even Fang Jun, a pseudo-angry young man, will never show any mercy when he has the opportunity to suppress these aliens. Even if the corpses are piled up like mountains and rivers of blood flow, he will never feel the slightest bit of guilt!
I asked you to repay your debt a thousand years ago!
Fang Jun pointed to the back of the fleet, which was the location of the island just now: "Have you seen the tragedy on the island? One day when the Tang Dynasty was weak and aliens swarmed in, the tragic and heroic situation was compared to that island. It will be even worse a hundred times a thousand times! Do you think this is the only thing that will happen to the Five Husbands? Let me tell you, as long as the Han people themselves are not strong enough, as long as the aliens are given even a small chance to rise, the tragedy of the Five Husties will happen again and again. The show never ends!"
Kong Yingda looked troubled: "But if you treat the aliens now as cruelly and ruthlessly as you treat pirates, it will inevitably arouse hatred. When the aliens rise in the future, won't you be even more revengeful?"
"Then do you think that if I don't kill those pirates today and I don't kill a foreigner tomorrow, when the foreigners rise and march across the Central Plains, will they remember my kindness today and be lenient to the Han people?"
Kong Yingda opened his mouth and found that he had nothing to say.
After reading the books of sages all my life, I now realize that my outlook on life has always been wrong.
Yes, no matter how kind you are to the aliens today, when the beast becomes stronger, how can it be grateful and be kind to you?
