The killing lasted until midnight, and almost all the samurai on the island were slaughtered.
Li Zhen arrived in Dazhai and came to the place where Fusang warriors lived.
The army charged, and the remaining strength in the stronghold collapsed in an instant. He could no longer resist. Li Zhen came to the lobby, sat high up, squinting his eyes and resting. He had been running around on the sea for the past two days, and Li Zhen had already felt Feeling low energy and a little tired, he yawned and rubbed his sore cheeks with his hands.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Huang Shihai strode in.
Following closely behind were Qi Zhenhai, Lu Shaochuan and Huang Qiang from Jian Daoying.
Huang Shihai raised his hand to salute and said loudly: "Commander, these Japanese pirates really deserve to be killed. They are simply crazy beasts. I thought before that they were defenseless and had no mercy. But now it seems that these Japanese pirates deserve to be killed." Kill every one you see, until they are all killed."
Li Zhenxiao asked: "What happened to Shi Hai to make him so angry all of a sudden?"
Lu Shaochuan said angrily: "The brigade commander and I were cleaning up the Dazhai and found that there was a place where women were imprisoned. There were about four to five hundred women in it, ranging from their teens to their thirties, all of them looked like They were kept in captivity like pigs. After some questioning, I found out that these women were ordinary people. They were all snatched away by Japanese pirates when they raided the village. The older women were killed, and the younger ones were also killed. , these young women are the only ones left.”
"Not only that, some young women were also killed."
"These women were imprisoned in Dazhai and only had one meal a day. They lacked physical strength. In this way, even if the women escaped, they would not have the strength. Moreover, there were so many warriors on the island, and they could only let the Japanese pirates bully them. ."
Lu Shaochuan was angrily, with sparks of hatred flashing in his eyes.
That look in his eyes made him want to kill all the Japanese pirates.
Qi Zhenhai interjected: "The most irritating Japanese pirates, regardless of day or night, would often rush in, seize some women, and humiliate them. Commander, Japanese pirates are all heartless people. It is unjust to not kill them. I remember There are also injured Tanaka Chicken and more than a hundred Fuso warriors on the boat. When we return to Guangzhou, we will kill these people with a thousand swords."
Li Zhen took a deep breath and said: "Kill everyone who knows how to kill."
The conversation changed and Li Zhen asked: "Has the battlefield been cleaned?"
Huang Shihai nodded and said: "The cleaning has been completed. The bodies of the Japanese pirates were thrown into the sea to feed the fish. The women in Dazhai were also released. When they set off to Guangzhou, they took these women back. When cleaning Dazhai, they found ten Ten thousand taels of silver notes, two dilapidated cannons, three ordinary large ships, and a hundred guns, and the rest of the swords and the like are not counted."
Li Zhen thought for a while and ordered: "One hundred thousand taels of silver notes will be distributed to the women who have suffered in Dazhai as a small amount of compensation. As for the worn-out cannons, they will be moved back and rebuilt, and the swords and other weapons will also be taken away. "
Qi Zhenhai rolled his eyes and said: "Commander, before his death, Onitsuka Seventeenth Lang said that he was just a pawn, serving as an outpost. From this sentence, it can be inferred that the Japanese pirates should have a more detailed plan. It is very likely that they will attack Guangzhou or other places, so we have to guard against this."
Li Zhenxiao said: "For us, our 'Shanghai Army' has been accumulating strength and expanding itself. There are also large armies stationed in Guangzhou. No matter when the Japanese pirates come, we can respond immediately. As long as the Japanese pirates come, we will Just annihilate the invading enemies, and when there is an opportunity later, take the initiative to send troops to destroy the Japanese pirates."
After a pause, Li Zhen ordered: "Everyone go down and rest, and we will set off back early tomorrow morning."
Everyone nodded in agreement, turned and left.
Early the next morning, Li Zhen led his army back.
Li Zhen had three large ships under his command, and captured Onizuka's three ships, making a total of six ships. They returned to Guangzhou in a mighty manner. Because of the good weather and the favorable wind, they arrived at the Guangzhou Pier before evening. Six ships The big ship stopped. Li Zhen, Huang Shihai, Lu Shaochuan and Qi Zhenhai all got off the ship. One after another, all the soldiers and captured Japanese samurai got off the ship. Nearly five hundred women also got off the ship.
These women stood on the border of Guangzhou, looking at the familiar scenes, weeping with joy, and their slightly pale faces showed joy. Li Zhen's help to them was nothing less than a gift of renewal.
"Sir Admiral, you are a good man, and this little woman kowtows to you."
Among the crowd, a woman in her early thirties was the first to kneel down and kowtow in thanks. In an instant, this action infected the other women, and they all knelt down.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
The voices of these women were a little messy, and most of them were thanking them. They were caught on the island, and they were helpless. They already thought that there was no way to survive, but they did not expect that there would be a chance to see the light of day again. When Li Zhen saw this, he knelt down The women below stood up. After these women stood up, they all looked at Li Zhen, their eyes full of gratitude.
Li Zhen stepped forward and said loudly: "Sisters, I just did my duty. No need to thank you. Everyone has regained their free status and can go home. This is a great joy. After going through the hardships now, in the future No matter what happens, I believe that everyone can overcome it and persevere. Go back and live a good life. No matter what hardships you encounter, I hope you can get through it. If you have difficulties, you can come to the Admiral's Mansion to find me. I hope you all can Good."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen waved his hand.
These women were homesick and began to leave.
Li Zhen looked at the women leaving and sighed in his heart. He was worried about whether their families would accept what happened to these women. It was precisely because of this that Li Zhen said what he just said, encouraging them to persevere when encountering difficulties.
Li Zhen cannot interfere in this kind of thing.
It is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs, so Li Zhen hoped that these women would go on peacefully.
After returning to the Admiral's Mansion, Li Zhen found Wei Yuan.
In the study, Li Zhen and Wei Yuan sat down. Li Zhen first told about the suppression of Japanese pirates, and then said: "Mr. Wei, there are more than a hundred Japanese pirates imprisoned. I plan to execute the captured Japanese pirates the day after tomorrow, but I have to prepare for a public trial." , all Japanese pirates will be executed in front of the people, and I hope you will write some things about Japanese pirates."
Wei Yuan said solemnly: "I am responsible for this matter. Huh, the Japanese pirates robbed women and robbed the people, causing harm to one party. Such people should be cut into pieces. Hongyi, it will be up to you to deal with it when the time comes. I suggest You have to be ruthless and don't cut off your head with just one blow."
Li Zhen blinked. The old Mr. Wei in front of him was an angry young man.
Regardless of whether they were foreigners or little devils, as long as they were detrimental to the Manchus, Mr. Wei would always be jealous of him. Li Zhen thought to himself that if he showed an attitude of resisting the Qing, he would probably be hacked by Mr. Wei immediately.
Wei Yuan turned around and left, while Li Zhen went to Huaibi Tower. Li Xiaotong had been caught by Japanese pirates and was frightened. Li Zhen, as his younger brother, had to go to express condolences.
After Li Zhen returned from Huaibi Tower, he began to prepare for the public trial of the imp.
