Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Zuwang also brought the officers over.
Looking at the dead bodies on the boat, he had no reaction. When he looked at the long naval gun made in England, he observed it carefully for a while.
"Take this cannon back and deliver it to the master."
"No!" Sailors immediately went to carry the cannon.
"Ha, there's another guy pretending to be dead here." Wang Goudan stepped on a dead body, and the dead body obviously moved.
Wang Goudan just happened to step on his injured calf.
"Get up, pretend to be dead again and throw you into the sea."
In an instant, more than a dozen flintlock guns were pointed at him.
"Don't shoot, I'm a gunner, I can shoot accurately, I'm useful." Hai Gouzi shouted hurriedly.
Chen Zuwang turned around and looked at him after hearing this. This kid seemed a little stupid and not very smart.
"You were the one who fired that shot just now."
"Yes, I was the one who hit him. How can I hit him accurately?" Seagouzi shook his huge head proudly.
The sailors around him were immediately furious. This bastard destroyed the steering gear with one shot. Five sailors were killed and more than a dozen were injured in the melee.
He kicked him up with a big foot. The sea dog had no choice but to curl up, hold his head in his hands, and protect his ribs with his elbows. He gritted his teeth and endured it. Only then did his brain realize that he had said the wrong thing.
"Okay, don't beat him, tie him up first and deal with him later," Chen Zuwang said.
A group of people swarmed up and tied the seal tightly. His hooves were spread upside down like a pig, and they passed through a wooden pole and carried him over.
"I said, men, a scholar cannot be killed and cannot be humiliated. What do you mean by tying me up like a pig?" Seagouzi was still chattering.
Chen Zuwang gave him a sympathetic look. It turned out that he was a mentally ill person and had grown so big in vain.
Seeing Chen Zuwang walking towards him, Zheng Jie tried his best to force out a smile that was uglier than crying.
One of his legs was wounded by a shotgun and he was a little lame. His clothes were also covered in dust and blood. They were rolled on the ground just now.
"This eldest brother seems to be a figure in the sea. I don't know what to call him."
Chen Zuwang looked at him with cold eyes and said nothing.
"My younger brother is the younger brother of eldest brother Zheng Yiguan. Our Zheng family is also a powerful force in Fujian and Zhejiang. As long as my brother lets me go, I will be rewarded in the future."
Zheng Jie spoke a little dryly. There was almost no saliva in his nervous mouth.
He knew that if he was not good at this time, these soldiers, who looked as cold as stones, would throw him into the sea to feed the fish at any time.
"You were the one who blasphemed my wife just now." Chen Zuwang looked at him with burning eyes.
"This, um, this, brother is a rough man. He is used to talking without meaning. Brother, please don't take him seriously. He is a man on the sea. Compare, compare to that rough man. Haha."
Zheng Jie himself didn't believe his lies and said with a dry smile.
His explanation was so embarrassing that it made people scratch their feet. But it was better than not explaining at all. There was no other way, it was better than firing a musket.
"Your Zheng family has always been located in the southern part of Dayuan Island, specializing in the route from Fujian and Zhejiang to Luzon. Why did you come to the East China Sea?" Chen Zuwang was very familiar with the sea and asked, staring into his eyes.
"My brother sent his younger brother to Tianjin to see if there is any business that can be done."
Chen Zuwang saw that he didn't want to tell the truth and ignored him.
"Search him, tie him up, and take him back," Chen Zuwang said.
"Brother, I am telling the truth, brother. Well." His mouth was gagged, and then he was tied tightly.
"Captain, I found a letter and wrapped it in oil paper in his arms." Wang Goudan handed a large envelope to Chen Zuwang.
Chen Zuwang looked at it and saw that it said "To the Duke of Qian, Long Xi, and in person", and it was signed by Zheng Yiguan.
Chen Zuwang knew that it was important for the pirate leader to write a letter to the current Ci Fu Ge Lao, and it was not within his reach. He did not open it at the moment and carefully put it into his arms.
"Take him away and keep him under guard until the master makes a decision."
After Zheng Jie was taken away, the navy entered the cabin to search and soon found 300,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver packed in wooden boxes.
Chen Zuwang looked at the gold and silver, and his expression became more serious.
"Captain, what should we do with these dead bodies and wounded people?" asked the first mate Chen Liu.
"Lock up those who were slightly injured, give them a break for those who were seriously injured, and throw them into the sea together with the dead bodies. Burn the boat."
"promise!"
As the last few soldiers returned to the Etoile, several barrels of kerosene were tied to a fire. The sailors used axes to cut the ropes, and the two ships separated.
At this time, the sea breeze picked up again, and the Star opened its sails and moved away from the old lock ship.
The fire burned fiercely, and soon the entire ship was reduced to a torch. A column of black smoke shot straight into the sky.
After leaving the pirate ship, the Star anchored first and berthed stably in the sea, and then the carpenter began to repair the broken steering gear.
The Star is equipped with repair materials and tools, as well as the ship's carpenters and shipwrights, all of whom are under the management of the damage control officer.
The carpenter and shipwright hung it up with ropes. After going down to inspect it, the damage control director Han Lin came to find Chen Zuwang to explain the situation. This time the damage was a bit tricky.
"Captain, the part of the cannon is quite special. The steering gear cannot be repaired when it is fully usable. We can only repair it briefly first. It can barely be used. The speed cannot exceed three knots, and it cannot sail too far."
Chen Zuwang frowned, this is not good news. "Can you persist to Jeju Island?"
"That's no problem. After all, it's only over a hundred nautical miles away from Jeju Island."
"Let's go to Jeju Island first and wait there for two days. The large fleet will arrive there for supplies. They have brought a hundred ships' worth of supplies. They must have the materials needed for repair. We will repair the ship and then go to Nagasaki.
"
"No!" Han Lin gave a military salute and went to repair the ship.
Yang Fan designed a similar system for his seamen based on the modern merchant ship management system.
Command: captain, first mate, second mate, third mate.
Staff group, combat training staff, chartmen, meteorologists.

Gunnery chief, several sailor squads.
Damage Control Department: Damage Control Chief, Blacksmith, Carpenter.
Almost all departments have people in charge, and there is no corner on this ship that is not managed by someone.
Zheng Jie was dejected and escorted from the bottom cell to the deck of the Star again. He came out of the dirty bottom and took two deep breaths of the fresh sea breeze.
When he turned around and saw the ship being burned into a torch in the distance, his face turned pale. Needless to say, all the gold and silver had been taken away by these people.
He raised his head and saw a Taishi chair in front of him. The girl with the sign was looking at him with her big peach blossom eyes.
He felt cold all over for no reason. He was an old gangster who was used to walking on the edge of life and death. He had fought bloody battles in his early years, and only then could he be the leader and captain of a ship today.
It is said that the hearts of the people are as strong as iron, and the laws of the government are as strong as furnaces. Could it be that this woman is a figure in the officialdom, why is it so scary to look at her? I feel chilled from the bottom of my heart.
Just like a butcher who kills dogs and sells them for meat. No matter how ferocious the dog is, when it sees this kind of butcher, it will immediately become frightened and diarrhea.
Lin Yueru sat there leisurely, with her legs crossed and a pair of small white jade hands holding a bowl of tea, genuine Longjing tea.
On the left side stood Chen Zuwang. On the right side stood Xu Xianchun and Ruan Zhuqing. Behind them were Xiaohong and Xiaoyu.
Zheng Jie trembled when he saw these people, especially the fat white man in his forties, who looked like a master who often tortured people. He exuded a sinister coolness.
The scholar in white wearing a bird-feather fan is not a good person either, he is sinister.
Lin Yueru put the tea bowl on the small table next to her, looked at Zheng Jie and said, "Well, there's a lot of water."
Everyone immediately looked at Zheng Jie fiercely. Several eyes wandered over him, as if they were looking at where to strike.
Zheng Jie felt extremely regretful at this moment. He was really mean-mouthed when he had nothing to do. This time he kicked the iron plate.
"You all tell me, this stall owner, um, no, it's my wife, how should I handle this guy." Lin Yueru started talking smoothly as soon as she got into the mood, forgetting that she had already quit the Dongchang.
Zheng Jie was struck by lightning, stall head! This girl is from Dongchang.
Kuye, today I have to explain it here.
Xiao Hong couldn't help but smile. The young lady had forgotten that she was already married.
Lin Yueru turned back and glared at her.
"Miss, I'm the best at this job. Lift him up, hang him on the mast, and let him dry in the sun for seven days. I'm sure he will turn into bacon. Hey, let him enjoy it, so as to calm down the lady's anger," Xu Xianchun suggested immediately.
Now that he has gone to Yang Fan to eat, he will naturally be regarded as a member of his own lady's family from now on, but he cannot let the lady be wronged.
Zheng Jie trembled all over. He thought that pirates like him were ferocious enough, but he didn't expect that compared with Dongchang's pirates, they were really insignificant and not worthy of attention at all.
"Miss, why don't you tie this guy up with a rope and throw it down to feed the sharks?" Dog-headed military advisor Ruan Zhuqing said. He recently saw sharks eating dead bodies on the old lock ship on the ship. He was so amazed that he immediately wanted to experiment with this guy.
"Well, feeding the fish will make it easier for him. Since he likes a lot of water, let's give him some water and hang him up for me." Lin Yueru said expressionlessly.
Immediately, several strong men tied up Zheng Jie and prepared to hang him.
"It's the other way around," Lin Yueru said.
Several people immediately tied Zheng Jie head down to a large wooden barrel.
Zheng Jie didn't know why, he wasn't very scared when he was standing up, but once he turned his head upside down, he immediately started to feel a little scared. He didn't know how this vicious woman was going to torture herself.
"Madam, gentlemen, if I accept my submission and tell you everything I ask, you can show your kindness and spare me. No punishment is required. I will take them all."
Although Zheng Jie didn't know what this little girl was going to do, she looked like she was not a good person, so she would definitely not be able to bear it.
"No, no, no, it's the master's business to ask you. I'm not interested in this," Lin Yueru said, wagging her green fingers.
"The master said that this is called water torture. No one can bear it. I want to test it today." Lin Yueru said, "Take a piece of linen cloth and cover his face.
"Madam, you don't remember the villain's faults. If you have something to say, you have something to say." Zheng Jie was struck by fear. He had a premonition that the most vicious girl in the group was the one with this sign, and immediately begged for mercy.
A piece of dirty linen covered his face, and he stood upside down. His eyes were dark. Zheng Jie was suddenly frightened. These operations had such a magical effect.
"Pick up a bucket of seawater and pour it in through his nostrils. Keep pouring until tomorrow morning. If he is not dead, he will be locked up and handed over to the master." Lin Yueru said with great interest.
If Yang Fan were present, he would definitely shake his head and walk away. This girl must be so bored to experiment with this.
The bald eagle has been experimenting with Brother Deng for a long time. No one can resist it. The strongest one only lasted for more than a hundred days.
"Waterboard" is a torture method that makes the prisoner think he is about to drown. The prisoner is tied with his feet higher than his head, his face is covered with a towel, and water is poured on the prisoner's face.
Relevant experts say that this kind of torture can make prisoners feel like they are about to suffocate or drown.
This kind of criminal law can make people feel like they are crawling back from the edge of death again and again.
For many stubborn villains, as long as they are kidnapped to the execution ground and shot together with the condemned criminal, even if he is not beaten, his spirit will break down. Once is enough.
Waterboarding will repeat this process of narrowly avoiding death again and again, and mental breakdown is only a matter of time.
Waterboarding is like a one-way valve. The water keeps pouring in, and the towel prevents you from spitting it out, so you can only exhale once.
Even if I hold my breath, I still feel like the air is being sucked out, like a vacuum cleaner.
"Waterboarding" has been recognized as a form of torture since its advent in the Middle Ages.
Wang Goudan lifted the bucket and hit it on Zheng Jie's face, completely ignoring his plea for mercy.
Lin Yueru watched with interest for a while. After drinking a cup of tea, Xiaohong added hot water. Seeing that Zheng Jie had peed his pants and his voice was hoarse from crying, he lost interest and even felt disgusted.
It was dirty here, so I turned back to the cabin.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only a few sailors who kept pouring water on Zheng Jie. Zheng Jie no longer had the strength to struggle. He just hoped that he could survive until tomorrow morning and that he would not go crazy.
This feeling every time that I will suffocate to death in the next second, and then be pulled back from the line of life and death is so terrible.
His intestines turned green with regret. If he had known that this little girl was an evil spirit crawling out of hell, he would not have provoked her even if she was beaten to death.
Now it's better. All the brothers in the boat are dead, and the boat has been burned. The boss's gold, silver and letters have also been lost. Now it's all over.
Lin Yueru returned to the room, sat on the chair, and suddenly felt a little chilly.
She was actually frightened too.
That time, Yang Fan drank too much and discussed the torture tools in Dongchang with her and Xiao Niangpi. After listening to what they said, Yang Fan said lightly, I also know a kind of torture called water torture.
Then, with the little girl's coquettishness, she said briefly.
Lin Yueru didn't take it seriously at the time, she just poured water on her face, what the hell.
Only today did she understand the horror of this punishment.
Only those who have studied human psychology to the extreme can invent such a terrible criminal law.
She knew deeply in her heart how terrifying Yang Fan was.
It's just that his usually gentle and gentle demeanor masks his ferocity. Only when he shows his fangs will you realize how terrifying he is.
