Chapter 78
: Today is for ancient use
This is a small house in the middle of the Shanhaiguan military camp. It is surrounded by soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, and there are hundreds of soldiers guarding it outside. This is where the enemy generals who were captured alive and valuable on the battlefield or those who were caught. Surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, there are hundreds of people guarding it outside the gate. Even if the other party is capable, there is no possibility of escaping.
After Tang Feng's reminder just now, Zhao Rujiao finally felt relieved. He decided to bring Tang Feng here to see it. If he could really let these Jurchens speak, it would be a good thing. Anyway, he didn't have much expectations for these people who were captured alive. He had captured several of the people from "Hai Dongqing", but none of them would reveal any news after being captured. Moreover, from Tang Feng's unclear words, he also heard something - perhaps there was a Jurchen spy among the defenders of Shanhaiguan, which was a big deal. So this time, Zhao Rujiao decided to bring Tang Feng to see these Jurchens.
Under the leadership of several soldiers, Tang Feng, Zhao Rujiao and the three of them came to a small house made of huge stones. Seeing this solid house, Tang Feng couldn't help but admire the meticulous thoughts of these people who were marching and fighting. It was difficult for those who were locked up to leave this room, let alone escape.
Seeing that General Zhao brought people, the Ming army guarding the door immediately greeted him, and then helped them open the thick iron gate. After the three of them entered, the door was locked up by the soldiers, which made Tang Feng even more admired. This action had reached a certain level of modern security.
It was not big inside, about three to four zhang in a radius, except for a few chairs and a long table. On several walls were several wooden shelves, and six others were tied to six of them. Their bodies were tied straight with iron chains on them, and the ropes made of cow tendons were wrapped around their limbs, which made them unable to move even if they struggled with all their strength. At this time, the six people were stripped off and there were countless scars on their bodies, including old injuries and new injuries when they were captured. The latest one was a series of whipping marks. Obviously, the guards here did not forget to "enter" them well. But the faces of these six people were calm, and it seemed that being tied here was not a bad thing.
"How is it? Old Dong, have you punished them? What did they say?" Zhao Shujiao asked the room and looked at one of the six men. This man was over forty years old, with a fleshy face and a scar on his left cheek, which made people feel afraid at first sight. He had been watching this stone chamber for many years and was considered the prison head here. Of course, this was a questioning knowingly, and this was also a posture of the superior.
Hearing Zhao Rujiao's question, "Old Dong" immediately replied respectfully: "They closed their eyes and waited for death after being taken in, and never said a word. Moreover, they were also injured. The young one dared to use some small punishments from the general's order, but they were only whipped several times. But they didn't even cried out a word of pain." Speaking of this, he added helplessly, "And they were like the 'Hai Dongqing' who was detained before, and refused to eat or drink." As he said that, he glanced at Zhao Rujiao, for fear that the general would be in trouble and rushed to him.
Zhao Rujiao did not blame him. These reactions were already as expected. He came here today because of Tang Feng. So after frowned, he smiled at Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang, now you see, these people are determined to die. Even if we use all kinds of punishments to them, it will be useless." As he said that, he pointed to the "Old Dong" and said, "His name is Dongxiancheng, he is considered an old man in the army. Xingwen is still very good. If he has no choice, it will be difficult for others to let them speak."
While he was talking, Tang Feng was carefully observing the six people and found that although they were of different ages, their expressions were all very firm. Obviously, Zhao Shujiao was right. Once "Hai Dongqing" was captured alive, he was just asking for death. However, Tang Feng still found a detail, that is, one of the youngest Jurchen masterpieces, the corners of his mouth raised slightly after hearing Zhao Shujiao that their torture was just in vain. Although this action was very subtle, I didn't look carefully and I could send it all.
It couldn't be seen, but Tang Feng still saw it. At the same time, he also had a little hope. Obviously, these people did not completely cut off contact with the outside world and really regarded themselves as a dead person. They were still paying attention to the conversations of the people around them. "Since they still have feelings and will be proud, then there are still emotions and six desires, then I will definitely find a way to deal with them." Tang Feng kept thinking in his mind, and suddenly remembered a black book he had read before that he didn't know where he found it.
The book writes about the method of inquiry. In addition to torture the body, the more important thing is mental torture. Unfortunately, I didn't care too much when I read this book, and the time was a bit long, so I couldn't remember it for a while. But he still remembered that one of the chapters mentioned that in addition to hurting people's bodies, mental torture is also a way of torture. If the two were added together, the effect would be even more obvious. So this gave Tang Feng a decision, that is, to change the torture of the ** to the mental and ** to the mental and mental torture. After nodding to Dongxiancheng and saying to him, he said to Zhao Shujiao: "General Zhao, can you find some candles, oil lamps and torches?"
Zhao Rujiao was a little impatient when he saw Tang Feng thinking about it. Suddenly, he was stunned when he heard what he said. Then he said strangely: "What does Lord Tang want these things? Isn't this cell bright enough?"
"No, I just want to treat these people well." Tang Feng pointed at these Jurchens and sneered.
Although he didn't understand why he used these things as a means, Zhao Shujiao still asked Dongxian City to go out to get torches and other lighting items. Under Tang Feng's command, several soldiers surrounded the torches, candles and oil lamps around the youngest "Hai Dongqing". After looking at it, Tang Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Take all the other five people elsewhere to take care of them, only this person is left here to be tortured!"
"Sir, I'm afraid this is not appropriate? This place is the safest. What if they run away if they change places?" Before Zhao Ruijiao raised an objection, Dongxiancheng, who was skilled in torture, said immediately.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "If I let these injured people escape in the city where my army is stationed in tens of thousands, will my Ming Dynasty still have prestige? If you want to pry open the mouths of these people, act according to my instructions!"
Somehow, Zhao Rujiao and Dongxiancheng suddenly felt that aura that made people obey orders appeared from Tang Feng, which made them dare not refute, so they had to nod their heads helplessly, and ordered people to remove the other five people and take them to other places to guard. Tang Feng stared at the man's face and found that when Alihu and the other five were taken out, the muscles on his face were trembling, which gave him greater confidence. He ordered people: "Light up all the lights and shine on this person. There must be such strong lights on him in the past two days. And he must serve him with torture every day, and he must not interrupt one day."
The soldiers looked at him strangely, then looked at Zhao Ru Sect, waiting for his orders. Zhao Ru Sect looked at them angrily and said, "Just do what Lord Tang said." Then he looked at Tang Feng again: "Master Tang, is it time to ask him next?" There was no lack of teasing in his tone.
Tang Feng looked at all the lights on the man's face, making him show his slightest, and then smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Let's go. Except for every torture, there is no need to leave anyone in the room. Come and take a look in three days." Then he turned around and left.
Now Zhao Rui Sect was even more confused. They didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd that Tang Feng did. But seeing Tang Feng left, he had to ask Dongxian City for a few words and then followed him out of the stone room. After seeing Tang Feng outside, Zhao Rui Sect finally couldn't help it and asked: "Master Tang, what do you think of doing this? These lights are some expenses in the military camp. Now it's winter again, so the amount of firewood is already high..."
Tang Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "I can't tell you clearly in front of that person just now, but now I can tell you. These people are obviously trained and only want to die after being captured alive, so even when faced with torture, they will not reveal a word. But this is just that their bodies are more tolerant than ordinary people, but they may not be so mentally. I shine the light on his face, and after a long time, he will be unable to concentrate and start to have hallucinations. After a long time, he will be unable to control his thoughts and actions. When we ask him what he wants, it should be much easier than now."
Although he didn't understand the meaning of some nouns in Tang Feng's words, he still understood his intentions, and Zhao Lujiao was also a little moved. But then he asked again: "Why did you choose him? And asked me to take everyone else away?"
"This person is the youngest. Obviously he thinks he has a good future, so he also values his life more than others. And when you were talking just now, I found that he was the only one who reacted. As for taking everyone else away, it was because it made him feel isolated and helpless. If there were other Jurchens around him, he might strengthen his will, which made this method useless." Tang Feng explained.
Zhao Rujiao said after half a day after looking at Tang Feng, "If someone now says that Lord Tang, you are from the Jinyiwei, I don't think I will have any doubts. Your understanding of this questioning is really surprising."
"Actually, I am really the Jinyiwei..." Tang Feng said in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled: "This is just a solution I thought of for a moment. It will take several days to wait for whether it can be accomplished."
