Chapter 754 Consciousness
Although this Han Run has a bad reputation among the court people and his character is not very good, he is not exactly the same as Zheng Mingshou, another court traitor.
Zheng Minshou was born into a lowly class of people in the court, almost like a slave, while Han Run was born into a family of officials in the court, so Han Run's knowledge was very broad.
At this time, he could actually recognize the Japanese language from the two sentences blurted out by Yang Zhen and Zhang Chen.
"Reporting to Mr. Beile, what these two people are speaking is the Japanese language. It is true that these two people are not from the imperial court, but the Japanese pirates who previously harassed the coast of our Nansandao jurisdiction!"
Lin Qingye was worried about how to deal with the situation in front of him. Suddenly he heard the word "Japanese" spoken by Han Run, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He immediately talked quickly and hurriedly explained Han Run's statement.
Really.
"It stands to reason that if the Japanese pirates were caught by the subordinates, they should be beheaded in public and no one should be left alive. However, the subordinates saw that they were strong and had a lot of strength, so they were locked in the bottom cabin and served as slave rowers to atone for their sins. I don't want to today,
Spotted by the angels of the Qing Dynasty."
What Lin Qingye said makes sense. In this era, there were still some Japanese pirates who crossed the sea and harassed the coastal areas of Li Chaonan Sandao from time to time.
As the commander-in-chief of Li Chaonan's three naval forces, he had several Japanese pirates imprisoned in his military camp, which was considered a reasonable matter.
"Japanese language? Japanese pirates?"
After hearing Han Run's answer, especially Lin Qingye's immediate explanation, Jingjin Beilenikan was a little surprised for a moment, a little confused, and a little doubtful. He looked at Yang Zhen and Zhang Chen constantly looking at each other.
At this time, Yang Zhen suddenly bowed fiercely again, lowered his head and shouted with all his strength: "Oh, oh, what a horse! Ali Ga Tuo, Sa Yao Nala!"
Han Run, the traitor to the court, heard Jingjin Beilenikan's doubtful rhetorical question. He was still thinking about whether he had made a mistake in his judgment, and was still wondering whether the two sentences Yang Zhen just said were Japanese.
At this time, he heard Yang Zhen come again and became convinced.
Although he didn't know what the Japanese pirate said in front of him, he came from a wealthy family and had been to the south before, met the Japanese in the Japanese hall, and heard the Japanese language.
So, after Zhang Chen repeated the Japanese language spoken by Yang Zhen in a decent manner, Han Run turned around and said to Nikan with a flattering smile:
"Master, there is no doubt that these two are Japanese pirates. Japanese pirates rarely see tall ones, but this Japanese pirate is very rare. Master, if he really captures them and brings them back to Shengjing City, they will be a sight to behold."
After Han Run confirmed the identities of Yang Zhen and Zhang Chen as "Japanese pirates", he quickly gave up his previous suspicions and stopped thinking about anything else.
"Japanese pirates? Haha, they are indeed very rare in Shengjing City."
After Nikan saw that Han Run had confirmed the identity of the two people in front of him as Japanese pirates, he felt completely relaxed. He said this casually, then turned to Lin Qingye and said:
"Lin Commander, Ben Beile is very interested in seeing these two Japanese. They are just two powerful paddler slaves with you. How about giving them to Ben Beile?"
Faced with Jingjin Beilenikan's request, Lin Qingye simply couldn't refuse.
However, he knew very well that the two people kneeling on the ground at this moment were not Japanese pirates at all.
One of them is Jin Haibo, the majestic Ming Dynasty's Zuo Army Governor General who conquered the east. The other is also the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty's advance army. How dare he give it away at any time?
At this time, Lin Qingye hesitated for a moment, then lifted his robe and knelt on the ground. He lowered his head and said to Nikan: "They are just two Japanese pirates. Lord Baylor of the Qing Dynasty can take a fancy to them because they have cultivated them for several lifetimes."
Fortunately, I certainly have no objections.
"It's just that what Xiaguan is most in short supply right now is experienced and strong oarsmen. Xiaguan is here and wants to sue Lord Beile. First, let these two people continue to serve here. After this battle is over,
, I will definitely send these two people to serve Lord Baylor!"
Lin Qingye had tried to speak as tactfully as possible, but as soon as he finished speaking, Nikan and Han Run immediately became unhappy.
Nikan snorted coldly, waved his hand, and turned to walk up the stairs.
That clearly means that you feel that Lin Qingye is too ignorant and disrespectful. Lord Beile of the Qing Dynasty asked you to be a slave like an animal, but you didn't readily agree.
After Nikan became unhappy, the traitor Han Run naturally became violent immediately.
If it is not convenient for Nikan to say it, of course, he, a slave who pretends to be a bully, must say it.
"Lin Qingye, you have to understand that my master is not discussing with you, but giving you an order. If this trip goes well, your fleet will be able to reach Zhenjiang Fort tonight. Once you arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, you
We have to cleanse these two Japanese pirates and send them to the city for Lord Beile!"
When Lin Qingye heard this, he thought that was the case. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He quickly bent down and said, "This time, I understand. When I get to Zhenjiang Fort, I will definitely follow my orders!"
"Oh, that's right, be more knowledgeable and do your best!"
Seeing that Lin Qingye didn't shirk anymore, Han Run snorted, said nothing, and followed Nikan's figure back to the main cabin of the turtle ship along the ladder.
Soon, the other Manchu Tatars who had followed Nikan and Han Run down to the cabin, all wearing armor, also left the cabin one after another.
The stench in the hold was overwhelming and breathing was difficult, and no one wanted to stay down there any longer.
As for Lin Qingye, he just nodded to Yang Zhen when others were not paying attention, then followed the team full of Tatars and climbed up the ladder and left.
In the end, only Yang Zhen, Zhang Chen and others were left looking at each other in silence. They let out a long breath and almost collapsed in the bottom cabin.
"Captain, are those strange words you said the dialect of the Japanese slave country?"
After all the outsiders had left, Zhang Chen slumped on the ground, looking at the commander of the Guangning rear garrison in front of him, who always surprised him, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Haha, they insist on saying that it is the dialect of the Japanese slave country, what can I do?"
"Ah? So it's not Japanese?!"
"I don't know if this is a mistake or not. Anyway, those words were all just nonsense."
"this--"
Hearing what Yang Zhen said, Zhang Chen was so dumbfounded that his jaw almost dropped.
He didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death, Yang Zhen could send away Lord Beile, who was full of Tatars, with a few random bird words. It seemed that the Jin Haibo in front of him was really helped by a god.
Of course, what he didn't know was that the few bird songs that Yang Zhen casually mentioned were not purely fabricated, but the only memory that Yang Zhen had left after learning Japanese for a long time in later generations.
It's just that he couldn't talk to Zhang Chen about these things.
Because Yang Zhen, who was born in Guangning Houtunwei in this life, neither participated in the battle to aid Korea and pacify the Japanese more than 40 years ago, nor had he been to the Japanese slave country, so how could he possibly speak the language of the Japanese slave country?
Woolen cloth?
This point makes no sense whatsoever.
Because of this, Yang Zhen simply said that he was making it up just to avoid causing trouble for himself.
But he said that after Nikan led Han Run and others out of the bottom cabin of Lin Qingye's ship, he did not stop any longer and quickly got off the ship.
Then while waiting for the return of Gurmahun, that is, Zheng Mingshou, we took a quick walk around Dongjiang Island.
At a quarter past three in the afternoon, Zheng Mingshou returned from an inspection in the Yuncong Island area and reported to Nikan the situation on Yuncong Island and other nearby islands.
Zheng Minshou’s report is very similar to Lin Qingye’s previous rhetoric.
There are a lot of abandoned fields on those islands, and there are indeed traces of being reclaimed and cultivated by people, but all the islands are indeed deserted at the moment.
Zheng Minshou, who had always been cunning and suspicious, even noticed the cellar where someone had recently lived and the farmland that was obviously cultivated. However, after looking over and over, he could not figure out what kind of crops were cultivated in the farmland.
This made him a little uneasy.
Although Zheng Mingshou was arrogant and domineering in front of the civil and military officials of the court, in front of Jingjin Beilenikan of the Qing Dynasty, he was just a slave who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Therefore, he would not even dare to mention anything in front of Nikan that he could not explain clearly or find out.
In this way, after receiving the report brought back by Zheng Mingshou, Nikan, who was completely relieved, immediately ordered Lin Qingye to leave some small ships and part of the navy to guard the island, while the main fleet immediately raised sails and sailed towards the mouth of the Yalu River.
As for Nikan himself, he thought that the sea route was not as convenient as the land route. After giving the order for the fleet to set sail, he returned to the shore with most of the accompanying people, galloped all the way back to Zhenjiang Fort to report the news.
Of course, when Nikan left, he did not forget to leave behind a small group of Tatars, nominally to lead the way for Lin Qingye's fleet and act as a guide, but in reality, they were escorting and monitoring the fleet.
Fortunately, there were not many Tatars left in the team, and they were not on the turtle ship Yang Zhen and others were on. Instead, they were arranged by Lin Qingye on several scout ships responsible for leading the way.
So, as soon as Nikan left with the Manchu Tatars and the traitor team, Yang Zhen and others started working in the bottom cabin of Lin Qingye's boat.
The heavy red barbarian cannon, which had been briefly dismantled and covered with smelly fish, rotten shrimps and debris, was taken out, and after being simply cleaned up, assembly began.
This time, Yang Zhen had few heavy red cannons secretly hidden in Lin Qingye's fleet, only five.
And for safety reasons, the only five heavy Hongyi cannons were scattered in the bottom tanks of different turtle ships.
As for the ammunition that matches the use of the Hongyi cannon, the gunners, especially the leaders responsible for guarding the heavy artillery, such as Li Shouzhong, Jin Xinguo, Zheng Shuoxun, Shen Qizhou, Liu Zhiman and others, are of course all arranged here.
On five ships.
After Lin Qingye led the main fleet to leave Dongjiang Island, the other four turtle ships, which secretly contained heavy Hongyi cannons, gradually caught up with Yang Zhen's flagship.
