Matsushima Toda was whipped twenty times, leaving blood marks all over his body.
This guy just wanted to cry without tears.
I have no idea why I was beaten.
After Cui Qiang beat him, he went to beat others without telling him why he was beaten.
"Cruel! Cruel Daganren!" Matsushima Toda shouted in his heart.
"Take Matsushima Toda!" At this time, Han Jin's voice came from the room.
The first time is in Japanese language, and the second time is in Daqian language.
Recently, Hanjin has been strengthening the Japanese language and making it smoother.
The guard at the door was about to pick up Matsushima Toda, but the guy got up on his own, hunched over and came over, smiling flatteringly: "The villain is here! The villain is here!"
Although the whip hurt his body, this guy was still very resilient. He endured the pain and managed to put on a smile.
He spoke in Japanese, and the guards couldn't understand him, but looking at his flattering look, the guards didn't force him to do anything.
After taking Matsushima Toda into the lobby, he saw the middle-aged man sitting in front of him, who looked very majestic.
Hanjin and Sanri are on the left and right.
Shanshan Ritu and Watanabe Riyu just arrived.
"Tell me about it. When did you come to work? How many people came? How many evil things have you done!"
Song Tong played with bamboo sticks in his hand and looked at Matsushima Toda and asked.
After he asked the question, Han Jin translated to Matsushima Toda.
Matsushima Toda kowtowed hurriedly and said: "Sir! We haven't done anything harmful to God!"
"Fart! How are the people in Donghai City living? Isn't it your fault?"
"If you dare to deny it, I will drag you down and beat you!"
Song Tong threw the signature down and hit Matsushima Toda in the face, shouting angrily.
"No, no, no! Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty! Listen to me! We really didn't do anything bad!"
Matsushima Toda was held down by two guards and was about to hit him. He was so frightened that he struggled and screamed crazily.
"Then tell me what's going on with the people of the East China Sea!"
"If you dare to lie even one word, I will break one of your fingers!"
Song Tong said coldly.
"Your Majesty! I don't even know why the common people of East China Sea became slaves. Your Majesty! I really don't know!"
"The little man was sent to Daqian by the head of the family just the year before last. It was already the end of the year before last when he arrived at Daqian."
"When the villain came, Donghai was already like this. It took the villain more than half a year to organize the generation of Japanese pirates in Haizhou, and he didn't even have time to take care of the common people in Donghai!"
Matsushima Toda was terribly wronged.
Daqian's troubles with Japanese pirates started three years ago, and the most violent trouble was two years ago, that is, the year their family leader was defeated in the Japanese country.
That year, the Matsushima family was forced by other daimyo to cede territory and pay compensation, so they had no choice but to look beyond Japan.
It was at the end of that year that Matsushima Toda came to Daegan.
The Japanese pirates in Daqian were extremely chaotic at that time, and even the veteran Japanese pirates in Haizhou couldn't figure out how many forces there are now.
After Matsushima Toda arrived in Yuzhou, he fought fiercely with the Japanese pirates in Yuzhou. After fighting for half a year, he captured Yuzhou Island.
Then there was the incorporation of the Japanese pirate forces of Haizhou.
He wanted to collect as much combat power as possible and send it back to the Japanese master.
All the fallen samurai and rural rogues he captured earlier were sent to Kyushu Island.
The three to four thousand people we have now were gathered just this year.
From Matsushima Toda's point of view, he and the Japanese pirates he brought from Matsushima's family did not do anything harmful to nature...
Because when they came, Haizhou Generation was already a scorched earth...
Even if you want to do bad things, there is no place to do them.
They still grow their own grain this year. They have no choice but to grow it themselves since it is difficult to grab grain.
The hard-working Matsushima Toda had only harvested grain for a few days this year, and before he could enjoy it, he was caught by Song Tong.
The large number of civilians in Donghai City were all Haizhou people who had not had time to escape a few years ago and were caught working as coolies in Donghai City.
The Japanese pirates in the past were extremely oppressive to the people and killed them at every turn.
After Songdao took over Donghai, although he also oppressed the people, he never killed anyone.
He also strictly ordered his subordinates not to kill anyone.
Without him, his master has been oppressed for too long.
Under the rule, there was a shortage of serfs for farming.
That's why Matsushima Toda saved the lives of the common people in Tokai and wanted to bring them to Kyushu Island to dedicate them to his master.
But this never happened.
The two groups of people sent home before were all ronin warriors with some fighting ability, and some capable bandits.
Ordinary people are also lacking, but they still regard combat effectiveness as their top priority.
After all, the war in Japan is not over yet.
In order not to be beaten, Matsushima Toda confessed himself to the whole situation.
Even the affairs of the Japanese country were explained clearly.
Song Tongtong heard that the suffering of the people in the East China Sea was indeed not caused by Matsushima Toda.
But he was just unhappy with the Japanese pirates.
"So you made an oversight?" Song Tong said with a cold face.
"Well...hey! The villain did make an oversight."
Matsushima Toda had no choice but to plead guilty to negligence.
"Hmph! Hit me! Hit ten boards first!" Song Tong said to Matsushima Toda.
Song Tong gave the order, and the guards directly held Matsushima Toda down, and then slapped him with a board.
This time Matsushima Toda did not beg for mercy. He knew that he could not escape a beating, so he might as well bear it.
After another beating, Matsushima Toda could no longer even kneel down and could only lie there like a dead dog.
Song Tong felt relieved when he saw Matsushima Toda being beaten half to death. He looked at Matsushima Toda and asked:
"Besides you, what other Japanese pirate forces are there in Haizhou? Do you have any contact with them?"
Matsushima Toda replied hurriedly: "Huairen has some members of the Hashimoto family, but they are not many, and the villain has no connection with them."
"Where are the Japanese pirates in Mizhou? Do you know?" Song Tong asked.
"In Mizhou, only Gaomi has some stragglers. I have collected all the Japanese pirates in other places." Songdao told the truth.
"Huh? Why are the Japanese pirates from Huairen still there? They are more powerful than you?" Song Tong frowned and stared at Matsushima Toda.
Matsushima Toda waved his hands hurriedly and said: "No, no, no. There are not many of them, but my master Matsushima Zufeng is married to the Hashimoto family, so the master asked me to take care of the Hashimoto family. But their leader He is very aloof and we have basically no contact with each other."
Matsushima Toda was afraid of another slap in the face, so he explained hurriedly.
After listening to his words, Song Tong held his chin and thought for a while before looking at Matsushima Toda and asked:
"Well...can you call out the Japanese pirates in Huairen?"
"This..." Matsushima Toda hesitated.
"Huh?" Song Tong's face sank.
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty! The villain will definitely be able to call them out!"
Matsushima Toda struggled to kneel down on the ground and said.
"Yeah! Okay! As long as you can call out the Japanese pirates in Huairen, I can consider pardoning your crimes!" Song Tong pointed at the table and said relaxedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will fully cooperate with Your Majesty!" Matsushima Toda leaned over and kowtowed.
I thought again: "What a kind and tolerant King Daqian! I help such a tolerant King!"
…
On the day when Yuzhou was captured, when the sky was bright, the Eastern Route Army quickly went north and headed straight for Huairen.
Song Tong wanted to reach Huairen before the Japanese pirates in Huairen got the news.
Huairen was about sixty miles northwest of Qushan. At Chenshi, the East Route Army started a rapid march and arrived at the foot of Huairen City at early noon.
The marching speed exceeded fifteen kilometers per hour.
Matsushima Toda was still able to run along in the first half, but he couldn't run anymore in the back, so Song Tong asked him to get on the carriage.
When he arrived in Huairen, Matsushima Toda was still very knowledgeable about current affairs.
He stood up as a Songdao retainer and deceived the Japanese pirate leader Huairen out of the city.
After that, it was easy. The East Route Army directly held down the Japanese pirate leader, and the Japanese pirates in the city were defeated without attack.
Huairen captured more than 800 Japanese pirates in this way.
After everything was tidied up, it was dusk.
"Instruct the entire army, except for necessary patrols and warnings, the rest of the personnel will have a day's rest!"
After taking Huairen, all the Japanese pirates in Haizhou were cleared.
The Renaissance Army can take a breather.
Cui Qiang received the order and immediately went to arrange for the soldiers to rest.
Song Tong also leaned on the chair and prepared to squint for a while.
He was getting older. Although Huairen came by carriage, the journey was bumpy and he almost fell apart.
"Report! Urgent report from Qingzhou!"
As soon as Song Tong closed his eyes, an urgent call came from outside the door.
Hearing about the word "urgent report", Song Tongqiang got up and started doing it.
"Your Majesty! Something happened!" Cui Qiang pushed the door open and came in, saying with a gloomy expression.
Urgent news from Qingzhou came, the reorganized Second Army attacked Penglai and returned with a huge defeat!
Not only that, Laizhou, which was previously captured, was lost to the Japanese pirates again because of this failure!
The specific thing is this:
Mopu led five thousand soldiers and horses from Laizhou Fucheng to attack eastward.
Several small Japanese pirate strongholds were easily captured along the way.
After arriving in Huang County, the Japanese pirates did not offer any decent resistance.
Mopu made great progress all the way, and his mentality became more and more inflated, and he did not take the Japanese pirates into his eyes at all.
After leaving 500 people to defend Huang County, he took the remaining 4,500 people to Penglai.
As a result, as soon as Mopu left Huang County, the Japanese pirates came around from the sea to the back of Huang County.
He directly copied Mopu's retreat.
At this time, Mopu didn't know that the way back was blocked, so he continued to lead the team to Penglai.
When they arrived at Penglai, as soon as the war started, the Japanese pirates claimed that Huang County had succeeded.
Mopu didn't pay much attention, thinking it was a suspected Japanese pirate.
Continue to attack Penglai.
As a result, the Japanese pirates in Penglai defended very resolutely.
Mopu fought for a whole day but didn't win.
In the afternoon, people from behind came to report that Huang County was really lost.
Now Mopu panicked.
This guy still adheres to the previous habit. The main force only carries three to five days of food, and the logistics is separated from the brigade.
Once Huang County is lost, food and grass will be gone.
Food and grass were gone and morale plummeted.
The soldiers all wanted to go back and attack Huang County first.
Mopu wanted to continue with Hard Steel Penglai.
However, the morale of the soldiers was low and they did not want to attack at all.
He had no choice but to retreat.
As soon as you retreat here, the Japanese pirates will chase you.
As soon as Mopu stopped defending, the Japanese pirates immediately retreated.
As soon as Mopu left, the Japanese pirates caught up and fought for a while.
Just like this, we walked from Penglai to Huang County for two days.
All the food in Mopu's hands was exhausted.
The defeat came.
Huang County was once again blocked by Japanese pirates.
All 4,500 people were routed.
The defeated troops fled all the way, and the Japanese pirates pursued them all the way.
This time, even Laizhou was lost.
Fortunately, Qingzhou also sent 3,000 troops and horses, and finally responded to the defeated troops.
