Fujiwara and Tsunemao led people to sweep across the island. Zhu Su looked at Fujiwara's back and said: "With such dedication, this 'Japanese traitor' has done a thorough job."
"It seems that this person really wants to join me, the Ming Dynasty."
I think of how many "Japanese traitors" were cultivated when the Japanese invaded in later generations. I trained a "Japanese traitor" first in the next year, which can be regarded as hundreds of years in advance, "treating others in their own way." .
Behind him, Gao Qi smiled and said: "Who would be willing to be a barbarian for the sake of China? Not to mention them, the nobles of the Japanese country, who have studied sinology since childhood and have been admiring China for a long time." Then he said to Zhu Su: "As long as His Highness is willing to grant him Household registration in the Ming Dynasty and becoming an official in the Ming Dynasty..."
"That's not in a hurry." Zhu Su smiled slightly. "This carrot works better when it's hanging than when it's fed into your mouth!"
A group of people walked into the camp, and Chang Mao's personal guards had completely suppressed the place. Occasionally, some Japanese pirates who were hiding suddenly broke out, but they were quickly killed by the guards of the Duke's Mansion. Immediately afterwards, their heads were removed and hung around their waists. A group of women wearing Japanese costumes gathered in an open space in the center of the camp. Seeing the Japanese pirates being beheaded, the women cried sadly.
Ru Taisu couldn't bear to hear the Japanese girls crying. He sighed and said, "Those who know how to fight are weapons, and saints have to use them as a last resort... Your Highness, since you have killed those Japanese pirates, there is no need to harm these women, right?"
"My Ming Dynasty is the master of kings. Being so cruel hinders the transformation of kings..."
"Cruelty? What kind of cruelty is this?" Before Zhu Su could speak, Zhu Di sneered: "If we don't use cruel methods, in just a few days, this place will soon be filled with bandits who have moved from other places. Then it will harm me, Guizhou Province, along the Ming Dynasty!"
"We pity the families of the Japanese pirates, but who will pity the common people who were slaughtered by the Japanese pirates?"
Building a Jingguan with all the Japanese pirates on the island was Zhu Su's plan before they went to sea this time. It is intended to deter other Japanese pirates so that they will not easily build strongholds here again.
Although this island is small, it is close to the Ming Dynasty in the west. If bandits are entrenched here, how can there be peace along the coast?
Although Zhu Su also knows that this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. But today's Ming Dynasty does not have enough power to deploy garrison on all the islands in the sea, so for the time being, this is all it can do... Is it a moment to be able to bluff for a moment longer?
Ru Taisu stopped talking. But looking at the expressions of those crying Japanese women, they still couldn't bear it. Zhu Su saw it and thought to himself: Emperor Yongle's pattern is indeed higher.
Wang Hua, Wang Hua, the prerequisite for popularizing Wang Hua is that one hand must carry a big knife... If you don’t have a knife in your hand, who is willing to kneel in front of you and listen to what you preach?
"Lao Ru, since you have compassion, then you won't kill these women and children." Zhu Su thought for a while and said.
The Ming army did not have time to kidnap them back to the Ming Dynasty. When the time came, they would just collect all the food and leave them here to fend for themselves. After all, he was unwilling to order the army to kill women.
At least, they are not willing to let the Ming army kill him with their own hands.
"Didn't you say that the people who were looted from our Ming Dynasty were imprisoned here? Are they among them?" Zhu Xi looked around with his hands behind his back. He is addicted to "The Condor Shooting" and is now very interested in the "heroic" thing of saving people from fire and water and then accepting the admiration of others.
He sent someone to question the women gathered in the open space and found that none of them were Han Chinese who could understand Chinese. Let a Taicang guard who knew some Japanese language promise not to hurt their lives by talking and gesticulating. Finally, a middle-aged Japanese girl stood up timidly and motioned to Zhu Su and others to follow her.
The middle-aged Japanese girl led everyone to a house. Then in front of everyone, he took out the key and opened the cellar in the house.
"Could it be...that it's underground?" Gao Qi had a strange look on his face. "This is just a small island, but it actually has a dungeon?"
Zhu Su looked at this unusual room filled with mattresses, and his expression turned pale.
The entrance to the cave was dark, and people were shouting outside the cave, but there was no sound inside, and it was strangely tight. Naturally, Zhu Su and others cannot be allowed to go down. One of the Qin king's guards volunteered to go down to the cave to investigate. When he came up, Zhu Xi couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Can anyone be down there?"
"Back to His Highness the King of Qin, you are here, but..." The guard had also seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Northern Xinjiang, and his mind was extremely determined. But at this time, his expression turned out to be unbearable, and he shook his head in silence.
"Young man... I don't know what to say."
"..." Zhu Su felt his heart thumping. He pushed away Wang Wei who wanted to stop him from going down the cave, and went down into the cave first. Suddenly entering a dark environment, my eyes were unable to see. But fortunately, there are still a few breathable pores in the cave. Through the dim light projected from the blowhole, he quickly regained his vision.
However, just one glance made me furious!
At the bottom of the cave, there is deathly silence!
There were obviously many people in the cave, but there was an eerie silence like the underworld. Zhu Su only saw the narrow depths of the underground, and he didn't know how many women were "abandoned".
The reason why it is said to be "thrown away" is because these women were disheveled and covered with bruises. It's like it's just trash that was dumped here.
Everyone's eyes were dull, as if they had become walking corpses. Even when the man Zhu Su looked at their bruised bodies, there was no wave in their eyes. Still without a trace of anger.
"Lao Wu, what's the matter..." A large group of people climbed down. Zhu Xi, who was at the front, asked.
"Turn your back!" Zhu Su shouted, turning his back first and not looking at those poor women who were half-clothed. Everyone who came down was stunned by Zhu Su's roar. They only had time to take a look before they were all shocked to the spot.
"Carry them all! Carry your back!" Zhu Su shouted again, and everyone seemed to have regained consciousness and hurriedly turned their backs on their bodies. Some of the guards were still worried that there were thieves hiding in the cellar and would attack from behind. They did not dare to turn their eyes away, but they were forced to turn away under Zhu Su's eyes that seemed to be murderous.
Seeing that the group of people in front of them all turned their backs and did not look at their exposed broken bodies, the women who looked like they were dead finally felt a little restless.
"Everyone, listen to my order: take off your robe!" Zhu Su shouted, and took off his royal robe first.
The royal guards are well equipped. In addition to the armor they wear, they usually wear a "red coat" outside, which is also commonly known as the "Mandarin Duck War Robe". While used to indicate the status of elite soldiers and to distinguish them from ordinary soldiers, they can also be made of cotton to keep warm in winter.
Hearing Zhu Su order everyone to take off their robes, how could everyone not know his intention? Everyone immediately turned around and took off their robes. Even Gao Qi, Ru Taisu, Dai Sigong, and Yao Guangxiao, a few thin men of letters, also took off their robes and threw them behind them.
"Dear Chinese sisters, we are the army of the Ming Dynasty, and we have come here specially..." Zhu Su wanted to say that we came specially to save you, but in the middle of the sentence, he really had no shame to speak.
After groaning for a while, Fang continued: "...These robes may not be enough. I will go up and get some for you. After you put on your robes, come to the ground."
"...I'll take you home after a while."
As soon as the word "go home" came out, the originally weak breathing of the women in the cave suddenly became rapid. Even with his back on his back, Zhu Su could feel the dead eyes behind him becoming hotter. He really didn't know how to bear the gaze, so he bit his lip and climbed out of the hole. When other people saw him leaving, they followed him out one after another, and no one even took a sneak peek behind him.
"Your Highness, how are you down there? What are your clothes?" Cao Yuan, who stayed above, looked confused and asked about the situation.
Zhu Su didn't respond. From the corner of his eye, he saw the middle-aged Japanese girl who was in charge of the key to the cellar, still looking innocent and frightened. Suddenly, a surge of anger rushed straight towards Tianling Gai.
He pointed at the Japanese girl and shouted, "Cao Yuan!"
"Go! Cut off this woman's head to me!"
"Ah? This..." The sudden order shocked Cao Yuan: Didn't he just promise Renru Yushi not to kill these women?
He couldn't help but glance at Ru Taisu, only to find that Ru Taisu's eyes were red for some reason and his hair and beard were all flabby.
The old man stepped forward suddenly, pulled out his saber from the waist of a royal guard, and slashed viciously at the Japanese girl's neck!
"Beasts! I only hate them, I can't kill them all!"
