Chapter 1501: If you make a mistake, you must atone for it
Putting the knife in his hand against Christina's neck, Yiyin gave Lilu a cold order.
"Take off her belt."
Lilu knelt on the ground.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, kind lord, please don't kill Christina, she didn't mean it."
Yiyin said sharply.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying! Take off her belt!"
Christina raised her hands and said to Lilu.
"Lilu, do as the lord says and don't anger him.
Lord, I'm very sorry for what I did just now, and I'm even more sorry for Lilu's behavior.
Lilu is a silly girl who can't distinguish between reality and illusion. She just loves you. We are willing to pay any price to get your forgiveness. Please give us a chance."
Christina's neither humble nor overbearing tone made Yiyin even more angry. His back hurt, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Christina.
Give you a chance? Okay, go talk to Jill!
Yiyin watched Lilu coldly as she took off Christina's belt and ordered Lilu.
"Now, use your belt and her belt to tie her hands and feet."
Lilu held back her tears, nodded, and wanted to tie Christina's legs first.
Who knows, Yiyin scolded.
"Wrong! Tie her left foot to her left hand, and her right foot to her right foot!"
Lilu paused for a moment. Although she didn't know why Yiyin tied up Christina like this, but now that the knife was on Christina's neck, she could only be obedient.
But Christina would definitely not be able to stand upright with such a binding.
Christina slowly sat down, and the knife in Yiyin's hand slowly lowered with her. Lilu carefully tied Christina's left hand, left foot, right hand and right foot respectively.
Yiyin glared.
"Tighten up."
Lilu gritted her teeth and tightened her belt tightly. Christina couldn't help but let out a groan, it was a bit painful.
After Lilu was tied up, Christina sat in front of Yiyin in an uncomfortable posture, with her legs spread wide apart, which was very weird.
Christina's face remained calm, and she said in a deep voice.
"Dear Lord, my hands and feet are tied and I can no longer threaten you.
Now, can we talk calmly?"
Yiyin threw away the knife, loosened his belt, and said coldly.
"Wait a minute, I'm a little angry right now. Let's talk about it after I calm down."
Lilu was so frightened by the unreasonable scene in front of her that she trembled and stood aside without daring to move.
Christina's eyes showed disbelief at first, then became confusion, then shock and fear, and finally disgust and regret.
It was as if they had gone through a strange and contradictory psychological struggle. The two people who were originally forced by Yiyin began to reconstruct the plot in their minds, and it turned into them forcing Yiyin.
It was understandable that Lilu did such a thing.
But Kristina, who has always been calm and rational, actually did such an animal thing. Not only did Lilu not understand, but even Kristina herself began to feel confused, regretful, and disgusted with herself.
———
Yiyin came in with anger, but Christina couldn't resist it and endured it silently. Not only the physical impact, but also the mental impact was even more severe.
Under the constant special effects of life, reality is reshaped again and again, causing this strong red-haired female soldier to fall into an endless loop of self-doubt.
By the time Yiyin's anger was exhausted, Christina had collapsed to the ground, exhausted mentally and physically, and completely lost her ability to resist.
With Yiyin's permission, Lilu quickly helped Christina loosen her restraints and let her lie down more comfortably.
Seeing Christina's dazed look, Yoshigami, who had avenged his great revenge, was playing with the katana from the Kamo clan in his hand and couldn't help but hum.
How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? No one can succeed casually.
He holds a sharp blade and is a villain who succeeds, but in the eyes of the two Nanman women, he shows no anger and self-power, which is very frightening.
Lilu said cautiously.
"My great and kind lord, I am willing to dedicate the four cannons on the ship to compensate you for today's..."
Lilu didn't know what to say. Until now, her head was confused.
To say that Lilu herself is audacious and lustful, it is still possible. But to say that the rational Christina is also insane, Lilu herself is the first to not believe it.
But the reality is before the two of them, and there is no way to deny it. Lilu and Christina made unforgivable mistakes when they were playing solo against Yi Yindan.
No matter how hard they figure it out, they must show their sincerity and pay a high price for their beastly behavior of forcibly humiliating the man in front of them.
Yiyin ignored Lilu's words, he just stared at Christina.
Compared to Li Lu, a weak businessman, Yiyin prefers to see the strong Christina lowering her proud head and begging for mercy.
Kristina obviously misunderstood what Yiyin meant. She thought that due to this unexpected forced humiliation, Yiyin would have to wash away his shame with the blood of both of them.
In order to save her and Lilu's lives, Christina decided to show more value in exchange for the chance of their lives.
After being silent for a while, Christina slowly regained her breath and barely straightened up, saying seriously.
"Your Excellency, something bad has happened. I don't beg for your forgiveness. I just hope that you can give us a chance to atone.
I heard that an important war is about to take place in this island country. You will fight your biggest opponent to determine the future of this country.
I beg you to allow me to participate in this battle and command artillery for you."
Yiyin could faintly hear a sense of pride in Christina's tone. She seemed to be very contemptuous of the island country's backward war model.
Unexpectedly, instead of begging for mercy, Christina began to try to convince herself, and Yiyin became interested.
Regarding this red rose with thorns, Yiyin is now relieved of his anger. He no longer feels angry about being thrown over his shoulder, but he also appreciates it.
Yiyin pretended to sneer and said.
"Arrogant Southern Barbarian, I have countless brave Ji warriors, wise counselors, and skilled generals under my command. Your self-recommendation is meaningless to me.
You'd better think of other ways to save your and her heads. Maybe you can try kowtow and beg for mercy, just like her."
Christina looked at Yiyin's expressionless handsome face and couldn't help but twist her lower body. He was really handsome, and what happened today was like a dream.
She shook her head, getting rid of the unrealistic assumptions in her mind, and said slowly.
"Your Excellency, you may not understand what I say, but please believe that military is a serious subject.
Artillery is different from muskets. As a powerful weapon, artillery is not an easy task to use.
Commanding artillery requires professional training. Commanders need to understand mathematics, ballistics, how much gunpowder to fill, how far it can shoot, and at what angle to fire. All are based on scientific calculations.
As a retired officer of the Royal Navy of England, I have enough experience in artillery command to enable the artillery to exert greater power.
I heard that there are armed monks in the Nanman religion who are helping your enemies train for joint combat with muskets and spears.
I believe you will need me. The artillery commanded by me is completely different from the artillery commanded by your subordinates.
The ballistic trajectory of solid bullets is linear, so in order to destroy the enemy's double-gun line and cause enough damage, a wealth of experience is required."
Yiyin looked at the confident Christina and felt a little new about the red-haired female officer who had been fucked by him just now.
Her confident look makes people miss Cao so much.
Yiyin has actually been convinced by Christina in her heart. She is right. Artillery is indeed not just stuffed with gunpowder and fired a few times.
Artillery is a cross-era product in military history. The systematic and effective use of artillery is a serious science.
Even a backward artillery like the Folang machine in the 16th century still needs to go through the technological advancement of bronze and steel materials and the repeated evolution of front-loaded and rear-loaded artillery before it can become the god of war in later generations.
However, at this time, European military personnel had begun to systematically summarize their experience in the use of artillery, and were at the forefront of the world.
Christina's pride is not unreasonable in view of the backward war model of the Biwu family.
But Yiyin cannot tolerate her arrogance and must suppress it. After all, Yiyin is now the leader of the Wu family, and from his standpoint, he must make a statement.
He said coldly.
"Maybe what you said makes sense, but you, Nanman, need to understand.
Although we are a small country compared with the Celestial Empire, compared with those mini-countries in Europe, we are a huge country with a population of tens of millions.
I am about to fight my enemy, and we will each mobilize 100,000 troops to fight.
It should be hard to see such a battle of 200,000 people in your hometown, right? You have to learn to respect this powerful country, understand?
I don't see awe in you."
Christina is not ready to give in, because the sins she and Lilu committed cannot be overcome by humility.
If you want to pass, you must prove your worth. The greater the value, the greater the chance of survival.
Therefore, she retorted without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I can only agree with part of what you said.
I am in awe of you and know that the island country has a large population.
But this volcanic island is covered with hills and plains divided into fragments, so it is naturally not suitable for organizing large-scale human resources.
No matter how large the population is, if it cannot be organized effectively, it will have no military value.
With all due respect, your method of war is too backward.
A battle of several hundred people in several villages can determine the fate of several families. A battle of several thousand people in several towns can determine the rise or fall of a political power.
This is true for the island country, and so is my hometown, but war and war are different.
In my opinion, the local armed nobles who fight against each other on the island country are just a bunch of mobs.
I am not accusing them of not being skilled enough in martial arts, but that they lack military organization and are far inferior to my hometown."
Yiyin looked at Christina and said coldly.
"Southern barbarian, you must take responsibility for what you say."
Christina said seriously.
"Your Excellency, of course I will take responsibility for my words.
The foundation of military organization is logistics. You just said that you are about to face a major battle involving 200,000 people. So, how do you solve the logistics problem of 200,000 people?"
Yiyin was stunned for a moment.
"Of course we have our own ways."
Christina smiled slightly, quite disdainfully.
"Yes, you have your own methods. I have studied your fighting methods in Kyushu.
The battle between two villages relied on the soldiers to carry dry food with them. The distance between the two villages would have farmers participating in labor to prepare military rations for about ten days.
So, if the battlefield is more than a thousand miles away and involves 100,000 logistical supplies, how are you going to solve it?
The difference between a regular army and a ragtag army does not lie in the personal qualities of the soldiers, but in whether they can be effectively organized to fight without worries. This is logistics.
Your Excellency, your army has no real logistics at all. You cannot organize an expedition of thousands of miles and a war of hundreds of thousands of people. Your war methods are extremely backward.
In a battle involving 200,000 people, only tens of thousands of people may actually be able to gather to participate in the battle. Most of the people may be marching, resting, or watching, but they definitely did not participate."
Christina's statement made Yiyin unable to refute.
He can emphasize the island country's population and its potential, but he also knows in his heart what kind of bad war the Wu family fought.
Two thousand years ago, the Chinese Empire was able to organize an expedition of tens of thousands of people to the Mobei and Western Regions. This was because the civil service system under the centralized power system of the Chinese Empire was planning, supporting logistics, and playing a role.
After the beginning of the Age of Discovery, Europe was forced to learn lessons from one voyage after another and pay more and more attention to the power of logistics.
As for the island country? The emperor's court has never had a real civil service system, and the political form of the samurai shogunate cannot have the concept of overall planning.
During the war with the Yuan Dynasty, the Kamakura shogunate was just waiting for the Yuan army to come ashore. Even so, the economy was dragged down and the Kamakura shogunate collapsed.
The Ashikaga Shogunate was even worse. The Ashikaga shogun, co-leader of the samurai family, had never truly centralized power. The concept of territory became increasingly fragmented, and the scale of the war also became fragmented.
Even in the large-scale melee in Kanto and Kansai like the Yatsudai Shogun Rebellion, the samurai from various places were divided into two factions and fought in a small area, and large-scale joint battles rarely broke out.
The example of the island nation traveling thousands of miles and gathering hundreds of thousands of people to fight can be traced back to the time when the Kitahata Ken family moved south from Oshu to the King of Kin, and Ashikaga Takauji fled to Kyushu to make a comeback in the Western Kingdom.
After that, the scale of the Wu family's wars gradually became smaller and smaller. As Christina said, the rabble, the fragmented territory, and the weak logistics were unable to fight a real big war.
Warrior Ji is highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. In small-scale battles, he can easily gain the upper hand, making the Japanese pirates a headache for the entire empire.
But if the Wu family really confronts the Celestial Empire, and both sides gather hundreds of thousands of people for war, logistics alone can bring down the Wu family regime.
With the civil service system of the Chinese dynasty supporting logistical support, and the military attache system supporting corps operations, even if the military family could compete for a while, they would not be able to win the war.
This is because the Wu family has no logistical experience with expeditions involving more than 100,000 people, and is extremely lacking in combat experience with large corps of tens of thousands of people.
Swinging a knife in front of your home is not the same thing as leading a team to go out to kill someone.
Christina despised the Wu family as a mob, and these words really hit the Wu family's weakness. Yiyin was speechless, and Christina could not be aggressive.
After all, her goal is to prove her worth and save the lives of Lilu and herself. She does not want to deliberately anger Yiyin and drag them out to behead them.
Seeing that Yiyin was touched, Christina immediately changed the topic and started to talk softly.
"Your Excellency, I do not want to belittle your heroic subordinates, but I hope you can give me a chance to serve you to repay the mistakes I made today.
Killing us will only allow you to vent your temporary anger. But keeping us will give you more benefits.
I am willing to command the artillery in this subsequent battle and provide some military advice to serve your victory."
Yiyin glanced at Christina. She had just experienced a sexual intercourse. She looked exhausted at this time, and her wet red hair was stuck to her forehead, which looked very sexy.
Under this enchantment, the embers began to rekindle in Yiyin's heart. He secretly complained that killing you would not necessarily vent his anger, but not killing you would still vent his anger.
In fact, Yiyin had no intention of killing the two of them from the beginning. His target was the four cannons on their ship.
Being ruthless and ruthless, seizing cannons and killing people is not Yi Yin's style. He is very compassionate.
At this moment, Christina's self-rescue made Yiyin see their new value, and naturally she was even more reluctant to part with them.
Since Christina sincerely wanted to atone for her sins, Yiyin was naturally happy to accept it. As for her hint in her words that she would only help this war, Yiyin didn't care.
The worst they can do is let them make mistakes and atone for their sins next time. For Yiyin, this kind of thing is not difficult.
