From the previous chapter of the book, Qi Yu's surprise attack was successful and he captured a number of prisoners of war from the French fleet.
So, here comes the problem.
What should we do with these captured foreign devils?
Therefore, Fu Xian turned his head and cast a questioning look.
However, Qi Yu looked up at the sky with deep eyes, and the corners of his eyes were full of disdain.
He felt that although China was a country of etiquette and advocated treating prisoners of war kindly, this did not mean that all prisoners of war would be treated equally.
If you have an idea, you have to take action.
Soon, the people of Franji were treated unfairly.
The injustice mentioned here is relative to the advantaged captives of Annan Kingdom.
There is a huge difference between the two of them.
Why is this so?
Qi Yu believes that although the Annan people are hateful, their ambitions are relatively small, while the Francois are different. They not only set up colonies all over the world, but also use military and industrial artillery as a diplomatic means to directly exploit our country.
Fengguo’s money.
The history of past lives proves that all those who covet China are wolves with ulterior motives.
His heart can be punished, and his heart should be punished.
Every time he thought about the fact that he had been rejected when he remonstrated with His Majesty to independently develop firearms, Qi Yu became angry. But now, with the culprit of the evil right in front of him, how could he not feel bad?
then!
He shouted angrily: "Come here, whip each of these golden lion kings two hundred times, and then imprison them with the heaviest handcuffs and shackles!"
Alas!
Two hundred lashes per person?
Is there still life?
One can imagine how shocking this order will be when it comes out!
But after being shocked, the things ordered by the boss still have to be done. If Mr. Qi says to beat him, then he has to beat him seriously and hard!
Who knows!
Just as the executioner was raising the instrument of torture and preparing to flog him, Fu Xian suddenly called for a pause, and then he ran over holding a freshly released prisoner book.
"My lord! Wait!"
"What? Could it be that Mr. Fu wants to do some good deeds and plead for mercy for these foreign devils?" Qi Yu, who had a grudge in his heart but kept it secret, said with a cold tone and some displeasure.
Seeing this, Fu Xian hurriedly defended himself and said: "Don't misunderstand me, my thoughts are exactly the opposite!" After expressing his position, he further elaborated: "In my opinion, there is no need to flog him, just behead him.
Finish the killing!"
killed?
My dear, why is your heart so dark?
Everyone knows that killing prisoners is an unethical act and will also harm Tianhe. You, Fu Xian, are well versed in military law, so how could you come up with such a bad idea?
Concealing this question, Qi Yu said: "Why did General Fu say this?"
Fu Xian smiled naively, held the book in his hand forward, and said, "Your Excellency, you might as well take a look at this list of prisoners first. Maybe there will be some old friends you know in it?"
Um?
how do I say this?
Objectively speaking, I am not related to these ghosts, and I have never met them before. If this is the case, how can I say that they are old friends?
Seeing that Fu Xian's face was sincere and didn't seem to be messing around, Qi Yu had no choice but to patiently take the roster and open it page by page...
Suddenly!
A familiar name came into view.
Clark!
Who is this……
Oh, I remembered it!
I still remember that during the Tuen Mun naval battle, I captured a distinguished Francois. In order to obtain his personal freedom, Andre spared no expense and paid a huge price of 20,000 kilograms of gold. And that man
The noble man's name is Clark.
Yes, it's him!
Unexpectedly, this turned a big circle and he was back in his cage again.
Ape dung, absolute ape dung!
Seeing Lord Qi's sudden realization, Fu Xian's face tightened and he gritted his teeth and said: "Obviously, this Clark is a warlike person. Otherwise, why would he encounter him every time we fight? In the past, he secretly formed an alliance with King Yong and plotted evil things.
; Now he has joined forces with Annan to steal Luzon, and he is our enemy in Qiongzhou everywhere! If we don’t kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
There is some truth.
Theoretically speaking, Clark really deserves to be killed, but this is only theoretical.
However, reason told Qi Yu: This person must never be killed!
So, why?
There is no other reason but one word: money!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu chuckled and explained: "Master Fu, you know that this guy's life is more valuable than the tiger balm made by our family. If he kills him directly, it will be the same as a prodigal." He pursed his lips,
While thinking deeply, he muttered: "In this way, you can select a few cumbersome prisoners with broken arms and legs, and then release them on humanitarian grounds, and strongly hint to them that they can go and give peace to the rich man.
Andre sent a message saying that their distinguished Mr. Clark has fallen into our hands again..."
What does this mean?
After connecting the past together, Fu Xian finally figured out Master Qi's true intention.
Haha, he wants to repeat his old tricks and rip off me again.
…
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Qi Dalang rested his army and launched another attack on Luzon. I will not elaborate on the military affairs of Luzon for the time being. I will only talk about Liu Quan, who lives in the capital city of Qiongzhou. She took great pains to go to the countryside to teach farmers and mulberry trees.
The weather was good that day. The thick fog in the sky suddenly dissipated, and finally the clouds broke and the sun rose.
After eating, Liu Quan took the knowledgeable Yin Tao with one hand and held the agricultural tool book "The Great Art of Qi Min" in the other hand, and the two went straight to the countryside outside the city.
What are you doing here?
Support farmers!
This year is the first year of experimental cultivation of new crops, and it is also an important node for cultivating more multiplication crops. Therefore, no care should be taken in any aspect.
In reality, the popularization of new grains requires a gradual process and cannot be achieved overnight.
The road to development is taken step by step, and there is no idealized one-stop success.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Although Qiyu has done its best to promote new grains and has used many resources including the newspaper industry, in reality there are still some blind spots that cannot be covered.
There is only one solution, and that is to continue to popularize planting techniques. When all this knowledge becomes common sense, the new grain will truly take root in Qiongzhou.
Although Liu Quan is just a country woman with little literacy, she has followed Qi Yu for a long time, and she understands some principles of working hard to govern. Nowadays, her men are expanding their territories and stabilizing the country, which can be said to be a great achievement for their hard work;
She is his virtuous wife, so how can she not do her best?
However, it seems that the only thing that can be done is the simplest way to encourage farmers and mulberry trees.
So, she roped in the knowledgeable Yin Tao as her professor, and used her special status as a rallying point to help solve the problems of the people who didn't understand.
From the actual effect point of view, it seems to be pretty good.
Indeed, when the common people saw the magistrate's wife wearing a Jingchai cloth skirt and personally exhorting farmers and mulberry trees, they were all moved and warmed up in their hearts, and their cooperation and enthusiasm naturally increased.
"Not far to the east, there seems to be a small breeding village. How about we rush over and have a look?" Yin Taoliao said, looking somewhere.
Just when Liu Quan was about to agree, he suddenly saw a yamen servant rushing towards him. After getting off his horse, he reported urgently: "Madam Qi, just now an official document from the north arrived. Because the things in the document are a bit special, Mr. Peng would like to invite you to go back and take a look.
, in order to help him come up with an idea."
What?
Do you want me to read official documents as a woman?
Overstepped!
Therefore, Liu Quan shook his head decisively and said, "That's not appropriate! I am a woman and it is not appropriate to participate in frontline political affairs. I have no ideas to come up with. Just report back to Mr. Peng and let him decide what to do."
But the yamen officer said: "Madam, please don't be impatient and wait for an explanation. I heard from Mr. Peng that the official document was written by Qi Jing, the general of Zhenbei. It said that he wanted to ask the Qi family for something. The old man couldn't figure out your family."
I don’t dare to make a rash decision about the specific origin of the matter, so I asked the young one to come over and ask you to go back and give me some help.”
Qi Jing?
Well, don't mention it, outsiders really don't know much about the relationship between the two families.
Anyway, let’s go back and take a look!
Seeing this, Yin Tao hurriedly followed the current and said, "Sister Liu, please go and take care of yourself. Just leave the affairs here to me."
"Very good, then we have Sister Lao Yin."
"Sister, you're welcome. We are all a family, why do we need to talk about things?"
family?
Liu Quan's ears felt a little itchy after hearing this, but she couldn't think of how to answer this question.
In the end, I had to pretend not to pay much attention and cover it up.
