At this time, when Sun Chuanting heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he immediately shouted: "Bring it up!"
"Yes!" The guerrilla received the order and immediately waved his hand back.
After a while, two Ming army soldiers dragged a man and threw him in front of Sun Chuanting: "Sir, he was paralyzed. He hid before he could escape. He was discovered by the native."
One of the soldiers reported this and pointed back. It was the Indian wearing the oriental robe. He was easy to recognize.
Sun Chuanting didn't care about anything else, just stared at the ground. Although he didn't recognize him, he could still roughly see the shadow in the portrait, so he asked in a cold voice: "Are you the traitor Bao Chengxian who forgot your ancestors and betrayed the Ming Dynasty?"
Yes, this person is Bao Chengxian. Because of his paralysis, at this critical moment of escape, Hauge and others just wanted to escape quickly. They thought he was a burden, so they abandoned him.
At this time, Bao Chengxian was extremely embarrassed. Before he could recover from the sadness of being abandoned by his master, he was shocked again when he saw a Ming official in red and crimson robes yelling at him.
He didn't expect that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would actually send the feudal officials to hunt him down. This was really a case of killing him no matter how far away he was!
At this time, although Bao Chengxian knew that begging for mercy would most likely be useless, his desire to survive made him make a choice. He quickly said to Sun Chuanting: "Sir, the villain is Bao Chengxian, the villain. I am willing to make up for my fault. Serving the adults, the villain is very familiar with those remnants of the captives. As long as the villain can serve the adults, he will be able to dedicate those remnants of the captives to the adults..."
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but sneered twice. He was indeed a shameless person! For the sake of his damn life, he started betraying his master again!
Seeing Sun Chuanting like this, Bao Chengxian shut up in fear. Looking at Sun Chuanting, he felt that his prospects were not good.
Sure enough, after Sun Chuanting had finished sneering, he suddenly shouted: "As a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, you have been deeply favored by the emperor. You did not want to serve the country with loyalty and gratitude for the emperor's kindness, but you turned yourself into a thief and acted as a helper. How many colleagues and people of the Ming Dynasty were killed? "
When Bao Chengxian faced such a scolding, he knew that it was useless to deny it, because it was an ironclad fact. He knew that if he wanted to survive, talking back would not work, so he quickly supported his upper body with his hands and kowtowed repeatedly: "Little People deserve to die, villains deserve to die, villains are wrong, villains are willing to atone for their sins, they just ask for mercy from adults, mercy from adults..."
"Hmph!" Sun Chuanting impatiently listened to his begging for mercy. He snorted loudly and shouted again, "If I spare you, what will happen to the innocent souls who were killed by you? Just wait and see, is there anyone here who is willing to spare you?" ?”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Ming soldiers, including Sun Chuanting's personal guards, all shouted in response: "Kill, kill, kill..."
No matter who it is, no matter who it is, no matter through the ages, the hatred for rebellion is the same. For this traitor of the Ming Dynasty, everyone wanted to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives. The cries of "kill" were filled with hatred for this rebellious Bao Chengxian.
Bao Chengxian was silent, trying to raise his head, looking at the angry faces staring at him, feeling the resentment towards him, and slowly, his body began to tremble, because he knew that he would not It will end well!
Sun Chuanting did not bother to talk to such a traitor to the Ming Dynasty anymore, and immediately ordered a memorial ceremony for the souls of the Ming Dynasty to be held to commemorate the traitor and the prisoners to commemorate the Ming Dynasty soldiers who died in this expedition.
As this military order was conveyed, tens of thousands of soldiers began to gather, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn. Sun Chuanting presided over the ceremony and paid tribute to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty with Bao Chengxian and other traitors.
During the whole ceremony, the Portuguese were watching, and the Indians were also watching. Although many people did not understand what Sun Chuanting was saying in a mellow tone or what the Ming soldiers were shouting because of language barriers, they could They can all feel the solemnity of this ceremony, the respect and comfort for those who have passed away, and the hatred for those who tied up the thieves.
Regarding these, both the Portuguese and the Indians actually have similar things. But it was obvious that the Ming army's ceremony was more ceremonial and solemn than theirs. Just such a ceremony had a great influence on the Portuguese and Indians.
Subsequently, the Ming army stationed in the camp built by the remnants of the Jianlu. Of course, we cannot say that the Indians are equal, but when compared with the methods used by Jianlu against the Indians, it seems that the Ming army is many times better.
The Indians worked for the Ming army and also received rewards from the Ming army, and got some things that looked very good. This further stimulated their motivation to work for the Ming army, especially the Indian who was given a robe, who was even more active.
Sun Chuanting also noticed this and appointed him as the leader of the Indians, asking him to prevent the Ming army from connecting with the Indians. At the same time, the lieutenants of the army were also ordered to teach these Indians the Ming Dynasty Mandarin. As long as they did not read the words but just talked, they could still learn some simple communication quickly.
In this way, the Ming army began to rest here.
After Anders waited for a few days, he also communicated with Sun Chuanting about the day when he would go south. But Sun Chuanting excused himself with enough reasons.
After a period of rest, with the cooperation of the Indians, they sent out troops to pursue the remnants of the captives. In fact, they began to expand their territory.
In addition, Sun Chuanting also inspected the steam armored battleships that arrived with the army, and considered reporting the situation to the Ming Dynasty.
………………
In fact, the capital is also very concerned about the parameters and performance of this steam armored battleship.
No, in the Forbidden City of the capital, when a eunuch arrived at the entrance of the palace, he turned around and signaled, asking a chamberlain who was following him to take a stack of memorials from his hands, and then stepped into the hall.
Seeing him entering, the maids and chamberlains saluted one after another. It was obvious that this eunuch's status should be very high.
The person who was supposed to be sitting in the main seat to review the memorial was not sitting anywhere, but was pacing back and forth, looking impatient and agitated. Hearing the noise, he turned around and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he asked, "Why bother Eunuch Cao about sending the memorial?"
This Eunuch Cao is Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. At this time, he was already very old. Basically, except for some big things, he no longer took care of things, let alone small things like delivering memorials in person.
Hearing this, Cao Huachun's old face showed a smile and replied: "These are major events reported from various places. After the cabinet drafted its opinions, the Supervisor of Ceremonies also issued instructions and asked His Highness the Crown Prince to review them to see if they can be issued. Returned to the Cabinet.”
That's right, the person in the palace is Zhu Cixiang, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. When he heard this, he said impatiently: "It will be fine if the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies check it. You are all ministers of my father, so why should you be worried?"
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then said with a hint of expectation on his face: "By the way, has any news been sent back to the expeditionary force heading to America? Has the parameters of the steam iron-clad battleship been sent back?"
Cao Huachun put all the memorials in his arms on the desk, and then replied respectfully: "According to the itinerary, I estimate that I have only arrived at the destination not long ago. It will take some time to get the news back!"
"That's true!" Zhu Cixiang frowned when he heard this, "Before, I was hoping that my father would have the power to know these things in time. But I didn't expect that the Mughals who went on an expedition were not in the capital either. This steam armor The battleship is waiting for improvement. Without the data transmission back from the experimental battleship, I don’t know if it will be like that in some places..."
Cao Huachun listened to these words and thought to himself that the rumors were indeed correct: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not interested in these political affairs at all, he was only thinking about perfecting the steam armored battleship that His Majesty had entrusted to him and other novel things.
With this in mind, he said to Zhu Cixiang: "Your Highness, please be patient. This steam-armored battleship will be improved sooner or later. But these political affairs, as Your Majesty explained before leaving, must be passed by Your Highness. Please... …”
"Okay, okay, I know it!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Cixiang returned to his seat a little impatiently. After sitting down, he immediately picked up the memorial and hurriedly browsed it through it.
This time, Cao Huachun didn't say anything anymore. He just went through the cutscenes.
After the prince read them all and piled the memorials on him, he stepped forward and collected all the memorials, then bowed and saluted the prince: "Then I will resign, old slave!"
"Let's go, let's go!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Cixi waved his hand impatiently. But before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.
When Cao Huachun saw it, he immediately knew something was wrong, and quickly turned around to see the situation, only to see the Queen standing behind him at some point.
Cao Huachun was slightly surprised when he saw this. But his qualifications were there, and he had done nothing wrong, so he hurriedly paid tribute to Queen Zhou, and then said: "These memorials are still waiting to be returned to the cabinet, so I will resign now!"
"Go!" Empress Zhou said lightly, unable to see her emotions.
When Cao Huachun saw this, he didn't wait much, but he knew in his heart that it was the queen who knew about the prince's affairs, and it was estimated that the prince would be punished.
But this matter is very sensitive. Besides, it was also a family matter of the royal family. As a servant of the royal family, it was impossible for him to take care of it, let alone not dare to take care of it. He could only do his own job and left directly.
Zhu Cixiang probably had some idea in his mind. When he saw his mother coming over with the same expression, he felt a little guilty. He quickly turned to the case room and greeted Empress Zhou: "Why is your mother here? If you have anything to do, please let someone know. , I should go and pay my respects to my mother!"
