When Zhu Ping'an woke up, the navy's search and rescue ship had already completed the search and returned to sea.`
Except for those who were buried in the sea, the pirates who attacked that day all became prisoners of the navy, including the one-eyed pirate and Sanji, who was wearing a black feather cloth. It can be said that the whole pirate army was wiped out and no one escaped the net.
Most of the pirates died in the sea. Although they had excellent water skills, they were still not good enough in the face of huge waves that day. Especially the pirates' boats were not resistant to wind and waves, and all of them were smashed to the bottom of the sea by the waves.
Basically, those who survived were the pirates who stormed the supply ships behind the Marine Division. These warships were large in size and had strong ability to withstand wind and waves.
In addition to the ship where Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an were on, two supply ships at the rear of the Navy were also broken off or overturned in the deep sea by waves. The remaining ships were not injured and were seriously damaged but did not capsize. In other words, Zhu
Ping An and the others were more unlucky. Theirs was one of the three ships capsized by the waves.
Among the two ships that the pirates mainly attacked, Zhu Ping'an's ship was among them, and they were mainly taken care of, so the pirates were severely damaged when it capsized.
The other ladies and maids around Li Shu were luckier. Although they were captured by the pirates and tied to the mast shortly after the pirate attack, when the huge waves hit, they managed to survive because of the mast, and were successfully rescued when the navy came to rescue them.
The returning navy easily killed all the pirates who were resisting on the supply ship. Except for those who surrendered, the rest of the pirates were either captured by the navy or picked up by the gangsters as military honors; the surviving pirates in the sea were all captured by the navy.
Captured as prisoners, the one-eyed pirate and Sanji were captured by the navy in the sea.
After cleaning up the battlefield and making statistics, ninety-eight pirates were captured (including pirate corpses salvaged from the sea), and sixty-three pirates were captured. The rest of the pirates were buried at the bottom of the sea without a trace. Among them, there were twenty-eight real pirates and fake pirates among them.
Seventy Japanese; among the captured pirates, 13 were real Japanese and 50 were fake.
According to the prisoners' accounts, there were 368 pirates in this attack. In other words, more than 200 people were buried at the bottom of the sea.
Judging from the results of the battle, it can be said that this battle was a complete victory, and it can be regarded as a brilliant victory in the coastal anti-Japanese war in recent years. It is certain that when the results of this battle are presented to the capital, there will be generous rewards.
But facing such a victory, the Marquis of Linhuai could not be happy.
Because his niece Li Shu and prospective niece-in-law Zhu Ping'an, the sixth-rank official of the imperial court, were also "buried in the sea".
Li Shu is the apple of Lao San's eye, and Lao San's doting on Li Shu is famous throughout the Linhuai Marquis Mansion; let alone Lao San's mysterious position, in terms of wealth, the reason why Linhuai Marquis Mansion can maintain
Today's appearance is inseparable from the people who delivered it to Lao San. Thinking of the situation after Lao San learned the news, Linhuai Marquis felt troubled and had a big headache.
In addition, the prospective niece-in-law Zhu Pingan is also a problem. He is the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty so far, and he entered the Hanlin Academy early. The Holy Emperor also summoned Zhu Pingan and rewarded him with an official promotion on the spot. This was done by the Holy Emperor.
I've already signed up in front of me. It's hard to explain why I died in the sea like this.
The Marquis of Linhuai rubbed the table and had a headache.
There is a tray on the table in front of the Marquis of Linhuai, and there is a golden hairpin on the tray. This golden hairpin was found by the search and rescue fleet on the neck of a pirate whose body was floating in the sea. Because there is a "李" on the golden hairpin.
character, so after the navy found the golden hairpin, it was handed over to the Marquis of Linhuai.
The Marquis of Linhuai recognized this golden hairpin. The character "李" on the golden hairpin was a secret sign commonly used by Laosan's shops. This kind of hairpin could only be worn by his niece Li Shu. It was also because of this golden hairpin that Lin
The Marquis of Huai concluded that Li Shu was buried in the sea.
The Marquis of Linhuai seemed to be able to imagine that when the pirates attacked, Li Shu resisted desperately, pierced the pirate's neck with a hairpin, and finally returned to the sea with the pirates.
In addition to this golden hairpin, there was also a belt on the table in front of the Marquis of Linhuai. This belt was the belt worn by Zhu Pingan, which was also found on the pirate. Based on this belt, the Marquis of Linhuai concluded
Zhu Pingan was also unfortunately buried in the sea.
After the Marquis of Linhuai pondered for a moment, he stood up and walked to the porthole. He threw the gold hairpin and belt on the table into the sea.
"If the third child asks, tell me that Shu'er disappeared in the storm. Also missing was Mr. Zhu Ping'an and Mr. Zhu. The navy's search and rescue found nothing." After the Marquis of Linhuai closed the porthole, he ordered the steward who had been with him for many years.
The Marquis of Linhuai threw the gold hairpin and belt that Li Shu and Zhu Pingan were buried at the bottom of the sea into the sea, describing them as missing.
Being buried in the sea means that there are no other possibilities, and life ends at the bottom of the sea; missing means that there are other possibilities, including the possibility of survival.
In this way, there is hope, and it will be easier to explain to the third child, and the third child will not be
"Don't worry, sir, I will explain it later." The steward nodded in agreement and drew inferences from one example.
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work." Linhuai Marquis nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, the news of the navy's maritime bandit suppression has not yet reached the capital, but there is no restlessness in the capital at all. Two days ago, when Zhu Ping'an's memorial exposing the killing of good men and taking merit for their own merits caused ripples in the capital, the ripples had not yet subsided.
Two more memorials in the capital caused even greater ripples.
The first of them was sent by Zhao Jin, the censor of Yunnan and Guizhou, thousands of miles away. This memorial was directed at the current Fu Yan Song. It was not flattering Yan Song but impeaching Yan Song.
"I saw that the solar eclipse on the first day of this year was very serious, and there were consecutive floods in Huaixu, Shandong, and earthquakes in all directions. The changes in the chapter are worthy of imitation. I would like to use God's will to assist Yan Song's father Zhang Wei.
, Stealing power and indulge in lust, doing everything in detail, not being self-absorbed, pretending to be tortured in the hall to carry out what he likes and hates, killing and snatching at will, all in exchange for the amount of bribes, a small group succeeds, and the temple is clean with shame. May your majesty look at the image of the sky.
It is obvious that the second ancestor’s subtle thoughts on legislation cannot be changed, and his thoughts on discipline cannot be disrupted, so he deposed Song Zao in order to cope with the changes in nature.”
Zhao Jin's natural disasters led to the powerful minister Yan Song to control the government and seek personal gain, which led to the deterioration of the officialdom, a smoky atmosphere, a swarm of flies and dogs, a poor people and a poor country, and internal and external difficulties. Please remove Yan Song immediately.
Yan Song was caught off guard by an arrow fired from thousands of miles away, and the court was a little shaken. However, under Yan Shifan's suggestion, Yan Song took the approach of retreating in order to advance.
So, the pale Yan Song looked like he was overworked, and went into the palace with tears streaming down his face to apologize to Emperor Jiajing. He knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing and cried without saying a word, and then asked Emperor Jiajing to remove him from his position as assistant.
Allow him to resign and retire.
Emperor Jiajing looked at Yan Song quietly for three minutes, then comforted him for a while, and issued a special decree. He ordered the Jinyi guards to arrest Zhao Jin on the charge of "deceiving heaven and slandering the emperor".
For the people.
The second letter was from Zhou Mian, a doctor in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. His memorial was similar to Zhu Ping'an's. Zhu Ping'an impeached someone who had killed a good person and committed meritorious service. The person he was impeaching was someone who had committed military merit for the imperial court, but the person he was impeaching was Yan Zhongzhong.
Who is Yan Zhongzhong?
Yan Xiaozhong is the grandson of Yan Song and the son of Yan Shifan. He is still in his infancy and has not yet been weaned.
Zhou Mian's memorial pointed out that Yan Song's grandson Yan Xiaozhong was still young and had never been involved in the military. However, he pretended to have made contributions to Guangdong and Guangxi and was awarded the post of governor of Jinyisuo and Qianhu. He pointed directly at Yan Song and said that Yan Song's private party was used to make his descendants official.
Zhou Mian was not much better than Zhao Jin. He was soon imprisoned and tortured, and he was also reduced to serving the people.
It can be said that all impeachments against Yan Song, or impeachments related to Yan Song, were thrown into the street.
Therefore, many people in the capital are now watching Zhu Pingan's memorial and waiting to see Zhu Pingan's fate.
There are some differences between Zhu Pingan's memorial and these two memorials, and it is obvious that the two memorials either directly pointed at Yan Song or Yan Song's relatives, but Zhu Pingan did not.
However, the target of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment was promoted by Yan Song and was also related to Yan Song.
So, everyone is waiting and watching (To be continued.)
