Chapter 280: The storm suddenly changed, and Jiangnan was in chaos!
Matsushita Kuro died with his eyes open, and he died with his eyes open.
The last scene I saw before my death was my headless corpse.
Kuro Matsushita never expected that it was just a simple task of burning the shipyard. How could he save his life so easily?
Matsushita Kuroro's head rolled on the ground, with his godless eyes open and looking silently at his Japanese pirates.
The death of Kuroro Matsushita deeply stimulated the remaining other Japanese pirates.
Fear spread in their hearts, and they began to escape with all their might.
The monk from Xichang still wanted to chase after him again, but was stopped by one person. "Enough, don't chase after me, put out the fire!"
Li Yu, the Minister of Works, was anxious and organized everyone in the field to put out the fire as quickly as possible.
Li Liu is an official of the Ministry of Works. For him, the ships in the shipyard are the most important things.
As for the Japanese pirates who set fire, it doesn't matter whether they can catch people or kill them all.
Since things have happened, the most important thing at the moment is to minimize the losses of the shipyard.
"Everyone, go to the river to scoop water to put out the fire. The people from the West Factory will station in the shipyard to prevent the Japanese pirates from committing recurrence!"
"Yes, sir!"
Under Li Li's arrangement, the people in the entire Fuqing shipyard began to work together to extinguish the fire in an orderly manner.
In the Fuqing Shipyard, craftsmen added troops to the garrison and mailboxes, and there were three or four thousand people.
In addition, the nearby villagers who rushed to put out the fire due to the fire, five or six thousand people worked together.
Before dawn, the fire in the Fuqing shipyard was successfully extinguished.
Soup later, Li Li led the officials of the Ministry of Works to start liquidating the losses caused to the shipyard by the fire.
After the calculation was completed, Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
The losses caused by this fire were even smaller than he had imagined.
First of all, the Fuqing Shipyard was burned down some aging areas that originally needed to be demolished and rebuilt, and some core areas were burned down.
Because there is a lot of wood near Fuqing County, the reconstruction of the shipyard can be completed in just about one month.
As for the ships, six Zheng He treasure ships were completely burned down and lost their value of use.
There are eleven treasure ships, and the burned areas are of different sizes, but they are all ones that can be used after one's rest.
This area will take more than a month to repair.
In the end, there are precious deaths and injuries of craftsmen.
Last night, there were forty-one craftsmen who were killed on the spot by the Japanese pirates.
There were as many as 173 craftsmen who were cut, and it would take another two or three months to wait until they recovered and re-entered the construction of Zheng He's sea ship.
In general, the actual losses of Fuqing Shipyard are still within acceptable limits, but the construction period is greatly affected.
After liquidating the losses of Fuqing Shipyard, Li Wu's face was filled with worry.
He took a deep breath and sighed: "The shipyard was burned and the craftsmen were killed. This matter is of great importance. Go and report it to Your Majesty quickly and ask Your Majesty to decide!"
...
On the night when the Fuqing Shipyard was attacked, the Jiangnan Shipyard was not spared and was also attacked by a group of Japanese pirates of unknown origin.
Their actions were exactly the same as those of Mr. Matsushita and his group, both burning the shipyard first and then killing the craftsmen.
But the consequences of these Japanese pirates are even worse than those of Matsushita Kuro.
The group of Kuro Matsushita escaped some people at least.
And Jiangnan Shipyard You Jisheng was in charge of the charge, and all the Japanese pirates who came to attack Jiangnan Shipyard were spared and no one left alive.
Either he was killed on the spot or captured by Ji Sheng alive.
It was precisely because the chaos was quelled quickly enough that the fire in the Jiangnan Shipyard was extinguished by Jisheng and the Western Factory's men.
The losses of Jiangnan Shipyard are also negligible.
At this time, the sky was already bright.
But in a basement of Jiangnan Shipyard, there was still no trace of sunshine.
The basement is dark and humid, and there is a large pool of turbid and smelly water on the ground.
More than a dozen corpses with blood and blood, broken limbs, broken belly, and broken brain, piled up together casually.
These are all Japanese pirates who were captured alive by Ji Sheng and could not withstand the cruel punishment of Xichang.
In addition to these corpses, there are eight other Japanese pirates who were tortured to the point of breath.
These eight people were covered in blood and their flesh was turned outward, and none of them had a healthy body.
Some people have fewer fingers, some have fewer arms, and some have one eyeball...
Jisheng sat in front of them, his hands filled with all kinds of bloody and ferocious torture instruments. "You have three breaths left." Ji Sheng's eyes circulated on the torture instrument and he spoke casually.
Then stretched out his hand and picked up a jagged steel whip.
The serrated teeth of the steel whip also contain undried blood, sporadic minced meat and bone scum.
Seeing this scene, the eight Japanese pirates who were left with only breath were all screaming excitedly, their faces were filled with fear and their eyes were full of fear.
Just just now, they saw with their own eyes that Jisheng used this torture instrument to saw the head of one of their companions open.
The immersive scene in front of them seemed to have experienced that kind of skin-cutting pain in person, which scared them to death.
"No! No! No!"
"Say, I say, I say whatever you ask!"
"Don't come over! Don't come over!"
"..."
For the whole night, the continuous punishment completely defeated their psychological defense.
Jisheng hadn't even asked, they all said what should be said and what should not be said. "It's Kuroro Matsushita, he asked us to come. Go and catch him quickly, don't torture me anymore!"
"There is someone above Kulang of Matsushita, and there is a man named Zhang Peng. He is also a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. He has a high status and many people respect him..."
"Yes, yes, and yes, and yes. Zhang Peng and Matsushita Kulang were all in contact with him. Zhang Peng gave us news that we would rob, kill, and the money and food we robbed belong to us..."
"This mission, It must have been issued by Zhang Peng. Go and torture Zhang Peng quickly. Please give me some fun and kill me with one knife..."
"..."
There are too many people and talk nonsense .
These Japanese pirates may be because they cannot learn Chinese well, or because they have been tortured to be unconscious and mentally ill.
In short, what he said was a mess, he was rumored and talked about everything, and he did not distinguish between the main and the secondary...
Jisheng just listened quietly, not interrupting them, but just ordered the surrounding people to The factory men recorded all the confessions of these Japanese pirates without saying a word. But he sorted out these confusing and very messy confessions in his mind, straightened out the logical relationship and chronological order between them, and finally pieced together a complete process. "Zhang Peng, Minister of War in Nanjing, is so brave that he can't help but he can't help but he can't help but he can't help but he can't help but he can't help but he can't help but feel his hatred!"
Ji Sheng angrily punched the wooden table in front of him, scaring the people in the basement and trembling all over.
Zhang Peng, when he was the Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, had already begun to secretly raise these ronin warriors who had fallen into the Ming Dynasty.
Around the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, ten Japanese pirate attacks were related to Zhang Peng seven times.
Either hijacking the caravans that entered Beijing to pay tribute, or burning and killing granaries from all over the south of the Yangtze River. It can be called a professional account in the Jiangnan area.
This attack on Jiangnan Shipyard and Fuqing Shipyard were also instructed by Zhang Peng behind the scenes.
This person will definitely be punished!
Jisheng did not delay for a moment, and immediately reorganized the confessions of these Japanese pirates into a secret letter and quickly sent them to the capital.
…
The sky in Jiangnan changed suddenly overnight.
On the night when the Japanese pirates attacked the Jiangnan Shipyard and Fuqing Shipyard, an armed battle also occurred in Pei County next to Feng County.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Six hours ago, Pei County.
"The tyrant lord is unrighteous, return my land!"
"The tyrant lord is unrighteous, return my land!"
The tyrant lord is unrighteous, return my land!"
The large number of farmers shouting unified slogans, holding sickles and hoes in their hands, holding hoes in their hands. , surrounded Pei County Government.
Liu Chuan, the magistrate of Pei County, looked pale and sweating. He was commanding the servants and officials in the county government to block the door of the county government with chairs, benches and other miscellaneous items.
Prevent emotionally excited farmers from forcibly breaking into the county government.
Generally speaking, the county government offices in each place are divided into two parts, front of which is the office area of the magistrate, handling government affairs and opening trials, all in the front yard.
The backyard is the magistrate's rest area, and the magistrate's family and family live here.
At this time, in addition to the magistrate's family, there were also Wang Yan, Yang Jizong and Qin Lu, who were responsible for the working group to clear the world of the world.
Pei County, as the hometown of Emperor Gao Bang of the Emperor Taizu of Han, has developed very well since ancient times.
The area is large enough and the population is large, so the county government is large enough to accommodate Wang Yan and others.
Liu Chuan, the magistrate of Pei County, is a very rare magistrate who supports the work of clearing the fields of Zhangzhang. He tried his best to invite Wang Yan and others to live directly into his county government office without staying at the post station.
So at this time the county government was surrounded, and Wang Yan and others could not escape.
"Why did this happen again? What should we do now?"
Wang Yan looked at the fire outside the wall and felt that his head was about to explode.
Since they began to clear the land in the world, they have never been able to do anything.
First in Jinghai County, the Wang brothers used both soft and hard work on them, almost making Wang Yan make a big mistake.
Then in Puzhou County, they were also besieged by villagers. Fortunately, the villagers did not have the idea of killing them, so they still quit Puzhou safely.
November ago, when they were still in Fengxian, they were still under house arrest by people from Nanjing officials.
In addition, there are many obstacles they encounter, and they never stop.
It can be said that since they left the Forbidden City, they have not had a comfortable day.
Now, they are surrounded by angry peasants in Pei County.
To be honest, Wang Yan even felt numb.
Yang Jizong clenched his fist, angry and anxious, and couldn't stop sighing.
"Clearing the land is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, especially for the people at the bottom, which is a great joy."
"But the people who are protesting now are these people at the bottom. Those landlords and gentry never show up. "
"This must be someone who spreads right and wrong among the people, spreads rumors, and maliciously misinterprets Your Majesty's will!" "
"These people should all Kill! You should kill them all! "
Yang Jizong was angry and felt deeply sad.
It has been more than half a year since they cleared the land along the road.
They were doing this with the mentality of saving the people from the fire and water.
They feel that they are improving the living standards of the people, benefiting the people, and doing a great thing that will last forever.
The people along the way should be grateful to them, not only as if they were welcoming saviors, but they should also be grateful to them, right?
But along the way, these people not only did not welcome them, but also believed the words of the rich peasants and the little landlords, and tried their best to stop them.
Yang Jizong really felt tired from the bottom of his heart, and his original high enthusiasm was also cooling down rapidly.
Qin Lu frowned, listening to the increasingly excited slogans outside the wall, looking at the brighter and brighter fire, the alarm bell in his heart.
"Go, pull all the horses out, everyone gets on the horse, if any accident occurs, run north to Yutai County, Luzhou!"
Ten Lu calmly ordered and pull out the simultaneously. He was ready to kill someone after he came out of his waist.
At the same time, more than 20 Western Factory actors behind Qin Lu also drew their swords and were killed.
"Yes, second-level head!"
The Xichang Fanzi behind Qin Lu took the order and quickly led all the horses in the county yamen horse shed over.
"Add to get on the horse, all the horses!"
After Qin Lu's order, all the officials who checked the fields were on the horses, including Liu Chuan, the magistrate of Pei County, and they also sat on the horses. horse.
Because there are not enough war horses, some people still ride together.
Qin Lu's concerns were reasonable. Not long after everyone was on the horse, the people outside the county government, under whom they were leading, suddenly began to attack the wall of the county government government.
The wall of the county government is an earthen wall, with limited strength. With hundreds of people pushing it, the earthen wall immediately collapsed! "Run!" Qin Lu gave the order and took the knife and slashed the person who rushed into the county government immediately beheaded with a knife!
At the same time, dozens of Western Factory actors began to protect the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate and began to rush to the north.
The farmers who rushed into the county government were still confused. They did not expect that the earthen wall could not help but bump into it.
Before they could react, they were already standing in the county government office, and one more person next to them was dead. "Murder! Killing!"
The crowd saw blood and the situation became completely chaotic.
These farmers who attacked the county government were running out desperately, and some were officials who attacked Qingzhang's land while the chaos was in the chaos.
The Western Factory Fanzi tried his best to protect Wang Yan, Yang Jizong and others and rushed to the north!
"Save me, save me!"
A shrilling call for help suddenly came from the chaotic crowd.
Wang Yan and Yang Jizong turned their heads and found that it was Liu Chuan, the magistrate of Pei County, surrounded by farmers in Pei County.
Without waiting for Wang Yan and Yang Jizong to do anything, the sickles and hoes in the hands of the people of Pei County smashed them hard at their parents!
