Chapter 452 Elite

The Ming army's momentum was like a rainbow, and they broke through the city wall in an instant.

After taking inventory of the battlefield, a deputy general came forward to report that a total of eighty enemies were killed in this battle and more than thirty were captured.

Jingyuan was very dissatisfied with this result and asked: "How can there be only 100 people in such a huge village? Didn't you search carefully?"

"Your Majesty, I have led people to conduct a careful search, and it is true that these are the only ones."

"Are you sure you've searched everything?"

"Confirmed, everything has been searched!"

"Okay, bring the prisoners up, I want to question them myself!"

"yes!"

Not long after, several prisoners in ragged clothes were escorted over.

Jingyuan's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his face was filled with a murderous look. Several people were trembling with fear and kowtowing like pounding garlic.

One of them seemed to be the leader and said in stiff Chinese: "Please, sir, spare our lives..."

Jing Yuan and Yu Qian looked at each other, and their expressions became gloomy at the same time.

Because they could tell from this man’s accent that he was neither a Mongolian nor a Han, but a Japanese!

How could there be Japanese people in this place?

What kind of relationship do they have with the remnants of the Tatars?

Jingyuan looked at these people up and down. They were wearing rags, some even had their arms bare, their lips were purple and blue from the cold, and they looked worse than beggars.

Moreover, their stature is on the short side, at least one head shorter than normal people.

Speaking of which, people in the Central Plains range from tall to short, fat or thin, and there are many who are short or thin. However, people like them who are generally short look like completely different things.

Jing Yuan's face immediately darkened and he said: "If I want to spare your life, I have to see if you can provide valuable information!"

When the man heard that there was hope of survival, he kowtowed even harder: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me!"

"Yes, yes... the younger one's name is Kameda Yuzo, and he is a subordinate of the Japanese great name Mouri Nobu..."

"What did you say?"

Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes angrily and said: "Japanese country is Japanese country, Ming Dynasty is Ming Dynasty, what does Japanese country Ming Dynasty mean?"

Kameda Yuzo quickly waved his hand and explained: "No, it's not the Ming Dynasty... The daimyo of the Japanese country is the guardian daimyo..."

Jingyuan was even more furious and said: "My Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, why do you need rats like you to protect it? You, a turtle grandson, actually insulted my Ming Dynasty? Come, drag him out, cut him into pieces, and throw him into the sea to feed

Bastard!"

"It's not Da Ming, it's Da Ming..."

Kameda Yuzo was so anxious that he burst into tears. His Chinese was half-baked, and he didn't know how to explain it at the moment, so he had to beg for mercy verbally.

The guards on the left and right couldn't help but dragged him out.

The others didn't seem to understand Chinese, but when they saw the opponent's coach being furious and Kameda Yusan's pissing, they knew something was wrong. They all lay on the ground, trembling all over and not daring to say a word.

"Spare your life, spare your life..."

Kameda Yuzo was so frightened that he could only feebly beg for mercy.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, Yu Qian, who was watching coldly from the side, spoke.

Jingyuan was still angry: "Master Yu, this little grandson is insulting my Ming Dynasty..."

Yu Qian waved his hand and said: "He is not talking about the Ming Dynasty, but the famous name!"

"What's the difference?"

Jingyuan looked stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly.

Yu Qian could only explain: "The name of this Japanese country is just a title. Their landowners are called Mingzhu, and big landowners are called daimyo. While they own a large amount of land, they also have their own armed forces. You can understand them as vassal towns and warlords that separate one side.

, the more powerful you are, you will be a prince."

"Yes, yes...that's right..."

Kameda Yuzo cried and cried, and finally saw the hope of survival.

Jing Yuan glared at him with dissatisfaction and said, "Damn it, who told you, a turtle grandson, not to explain clearly?"

Kameda Yuzo didn't dare to say no, so he had no choice but to lie on the ground and kowtow.

Jing Yuan waved his hand at him and said, "Okay, you continue talking about that hairy thing..."

Kameda Yuzo hurriedly said: "The villain is a subordinate of Mouri Nobu, the great name of the Japanese country."

"What is the origin of this Maori letter?"

"He was one of the ten great names of Japan. Later, later..."

"What happened next? Why didn't you stay in your Japanese country? Instead, you went to this bitter cold land in the far north and colluded with the Tatars!"

"I can't wait any longer..."

Kameda Yuzo said with a bitter face: "Many daimyo in the Japanese kingdom were fighting with each other. General Mourixin was originally in great momentum, but was... suppressed by the Chinese general Shi Heng and was forced to leave the country..."

"Fuck your mother!"

Jingyuan slapped the table and cursed: "When has the Ming Dynasty ever interfered in the internal affairs of other countries?"

"Ah, this..."

"It must be that Mao Lixin who did something evil. As an envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese country, Shi Heng should have some control over anything unfair, right?"

Kameda Yuzo opened his mouth wide and murmured: "Yes, it is... General Shi Heng of the Celestial Dynasty, he... After he took control, General Mourixin looked for other..."

Jingyuan said impatiently: "Stop nagging, just tell me directly, how did that Mao Lixin collude with the Tatar Ministry?"

Kameda Yuzo swallowed his saliva and said, "It was General Mouri Nobu who was contacted by the Tatar Ministry."

"What?"

"It's true. I don't dare to lie. The Tatars were short of supplies in the far north, so they sent some people out to seek trade. General Maori smuggled some grain and cloth to them. Later, the general lost power.

The Tatars came to win over them, and then... came here..."

"snort!"

Jing Yuan suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you can deceive people with these words?"

"There's no lies, it's all the truth..."

"Let me ask you, why does your Maori letter come here?"

"General Maori can no longer stay in the mainland..."

"Even if you want to leave the Japanese country, there is no good place to go, but you have to come to this damn place. Damn it, this place is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there is not even a hair on it. What do you think he wants?"

Kameda Yuzo said blankly: "I don't know either!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You are so stubborn, right?"

Jing Yuan sneered and said, "Here comes someone. Drag him out and beat him. Let's see how long he can keep his stubbornness!"

"Spare your life, spare your life..."

Kameda Yuzo was kowtowing like a fool, and was escorted out by two guards wearing armor, one on the left and the other on the right.

Immediately afterwards, a heartbreaking cry came from outside.

Jingyuan looked at Yu Qian and asked, "Yu Shangshu, what do you think?"

Yu Qian had been listening carefully and said at this time: "I feel that he is not lying. There should be some kind of agreement between the Maori and the Tatar. It is normal for the servants not to know about this kind of thing."

"Then...bring the person back for further interrogation?"

"There's no rush, let's fight first, maybe he really has something to hide!"

Jingyuan looked outside and said: "Looking at the body of this turtle grandson, I guess he won't be able to bear it for a few times."

Yu Qian pointed to a group of prisoners crouched like quails in front of him, and said, "There are so many of them. You can't just get beaten by one person, and let the others watch the fun, right?"

Jingyuan laughed heartily and said, "Here comes someone!"

The guards came closer and followed Jingyuan's instructions to pull out all the prisoners.

Then the tattered clothes of these people were stripped off, and they were divided into groups of two, with one person holding them down while the other picked up a stick and beat them hard.

For a moment, there were cries and pleas for mercy, and Kameda Yuzo even let out a howl like a slaughtering pig.

In extremely cold weather, not to mention being beaten, even standing naked can freeze into ice cubes.

The soldiers beat people really hard, and when they hit people with a stick, they immediately drew blood.

It's no wonder that everyone is holding their anger in their hearts. If these people hadn't secretly plotted against each other, who would have come to fight in the ice and snow?

On a cold day, wouldn’t it be nice to eat barbecue around a campfire?

The more people thought about it, the angrier they became, and their attacks became more and more ruthless.

Beat you bunch of turtles to death!

After a quarter of an hour, the screams became noticeably less intense.

Because half of the thirty people had been beaten to death, the remaining half had no strength to scream anymore.

When Kameda Yuzo appeared in front of Igen again, his butt had been beaten to pieces and was covered in blood.

He was even unable to walk at all and was carried in by two Ming soldiers.

"Uncle, spare... spare my life..."

"What conspiracy is there between you and the Tatars? Tell me!"

Kameda Yuzo gasped and said intermittently: "I don't... don't know..."

Jingyuan suddenly laughed and said, "You are a damn tough guy!"

"Uncle, I really don't know..."

Jingyuan looked at Yu Qian, and the two looked at each other and nodded. It was obvious that Kameda Yuzo was not lying, and he did not know about some things at all.

"Okay, then tell me, what do you know?"

Hope rose again in Kameda Yuzo's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "I have followed General Maori for many years and understands Chinese. The general gave me a position, mainly responsible for the island's logistics support."

Jingyuan asked: "How many of you are there in total?"

"About six hundred people."

"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

"General Maori took five hundred people to sea, and the remaining more than a hundred people were old, weak, sick and disabled, and were left to guard the island."

"Since you said you are in charge of logistics, what do these six hundred people usually eat?"

It is covered with ice and snow all year round, so it is impossible to grow food, and there are very few animals living on the island. If you want to make a living by hunting, thirty or fifty people are fine, but if you want to feed an army of 600 people, it is simply impossible.

dream.

Kameda Yuzo said: "We have food."

Jing Yuan suddenly frowned and asked, "Where does the food come from?"

"Smuggled...from the territory of Ming Dynasty!"

"What did you say?"

Jing Yuan suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, stared at him closely, and asked, "Say it again!"

Kameda Yuzo cried and said: "They were all contacted by General Maori. I only know that the food was smuggled from merchants in the Ming Dynasty. As for the identity of this person and what his name is, I really don't know..."

Jingyuan said solemnly: "Even if it is smuggled, it is impossible for others to give it away for free. What are you using to trade it?"

"No...I don't know..."

The source of the well was black, with murderous intent bursting out of his eyes. Kameda Yuzo was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"I really don't know. Those people were contacted by General Maori. I only know that there will be people who regularly transport food. Others...General Maori won't tell us..."

"Have you ever seen the person who transported food to you?"

"Seen it!"

Kameda Yuzo nodded with effort and said: "I have dealt with one of their managers. Every time the ship arrives, we have to unload the cargo."

"What's the name of the person in charge?"

"I only know his surname is Wang, and we all call him Wang Guanshi."

"What does this man look like?"

"Tall, a little thin, um... by the way, there is a scar on my face, here it is!"

Kameda Yuzo stretched out his hand and made a gesture at the corner of his right eye, but there was a lot of blood on his buttocks, which suddenly affected the wound and made him grin in pain.

Jing Yuan secretly noted it down and asked again: "Tell me again, where did your Maori take his people?"

"General Maori didn't say anything when he left, but it was strange that he took all the boats with him."

"How many ships are there?"

"There are a total of thirty-four large and small ships, which can accommodate 2,000 people. The general only has 500 people around him. I feel... there are other people on these ships."

"Who? A Tatar?"

"Yes, they are Tatars, and there may also be Jurchens."

"Jurchen?"

Jingyuan raised his head again and looked at Yu Qian, with a surprised look in his eyes.

Kameda Yuzo continued: "There are not only Tatars and Jurchens on the island, but also barbarians from the Yasha Kingdom."

Jingyuan felt more and more incredible and asked again: "How many people are there in total?"

Kameda Yuzo thought for a while and said: "We only have 600 here. There are many Tatars. It is said that there are several thousand, and the Jurchens have about 2,000. I don't know much about the Yasha Kingdom. I only know that their leader is named Kuriman."

Jingyuan frowned and asked, "Were all these people on the island before Maori left the island?"

"Yes, but not much!"

Kuliman nodded, shook his head, and said: "There are only about a thousand Tatars and five hundred Jurchens."

Jingyuan thought about what he just said. All the ships combined could accommodate roughly two thousand people.

This number does match up, but where did these people go by boat?

Kameda Yuzo seemed to have thought of something, and added: "The Tatars are led by Toto Fuhua, and the Jurchens are led by Hezhe. These two are the largest leaders of their respective tribes. I think the people they brought with them are also elite.

"

Jingyuan was even more confused. So, the Tatars, Jurchens, and Japanese joined forces and sent two thousand elites out to sea, and the leaders of their respective tribes personally led the team.

The leader of the Tatars is a bastard. There is nothing to say about this, everyone knows it.

The leader of the Jurchens, Hezhe, is not well-known. I think his status is roughly the same as that of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.

On the Japanese side is Maori Xin. In this case, they are all personally led by their respective tribal leaders!

Jingyuan suddenly realized that the situation seemed to be more serious than he expected. These people gathered together and there must be a conspiracy.

"You just mentioned the Tatars and Jurchens, why is there no Yaksha Kingdom?"

"General Maori did receive several messengers from the Yasha Kingdom, but those people have already left."

"Where are you going?"

"I should have returned to Yasha Kingdom..."

Jingyuan asked again: "When did those thirty ships set out?"

Kameda Yuzo thought hard and said: "I can't remember clearly, it was about ten days ago..."
