Because this building is newly built, there is a scent of varnish in the air. The brick and stone structure plus the three inner and three outer Hui building structure, the more you go in, the more you feel the secluded and lean against the main hall.
There are office rooms for clerks on both sides. At this time, the Five Military Camps had just been raised, so the clerks were sorting out some official documents from the previous county and government offices and disposing of these documents in the files.
At this time, when Liu Chengfeng, wearing a python uniform, appeared with Wen Zheng, the general of the Five Military Camp, on his hands, many clerks couldn't help looking into the distance through the window. The Five Military Camp's yamen had just been built, and His Royal Highness appeared in person.
Many people have long speculated that the general of the Five Military Camp is His Highness's father-in-law. Today I look at him and I am afraid that the rumors are true.
Liu Chengfeng walked into the lobby. The smell here was very bad. The new furniture and buildings all had a strange smell. However, he didn't care about anything else at this time and looked at Wen Zheng with a pleasant look.
He said: "Where is the head of the Wynn Trading Company who escaped, now? Go and call him. The Lone King has something to ask him."
Wen Zhenghe nodded. Originally, these small matters were not something that people like Liu Chengfeng had personally inquired about. However, Wen Zheng also knew that Liu Chengfeng was born in Zhengming after all, and some habits that he developed over time were not changed just by saying that he would change it.
Moreover, if the case involves a rebellion, it would be a big deal. He naturally knew that his son-in-law attached great importance to his throne ceremony and would never make any mistakes.
Wen Zheng called a clerk and gave a few instructions. The clerk nodded and then hurried out.
Someone brought tea to Liu Chengfeng and Wen Zheng. Liu Chengfeng slowly drank the tea, but he did not have the leisure to talk to Wen Zheng. At this moment, his mind was thinking about the case.
Wen Zheng also felt that the responsibility was heavy. The general of the Fifth Army camp had just taken office and had a big case. Although Liu Chengfeng had interfered in this matter, he could not be idle.
After a stick of incense, a man was brought in. The manager's face had obviously not recovered yet, and he still had a pale face. After coming in, he bowed properly and looked up at Liu Chengfeng, and for a moment
I can't tell the difference between Liu Chengfeng's identity. I just said, "Old Master."
Wen Zheng sat aside and knocked the table with his fist, saying, "This is Your Highness, Your Highness, you are the Wynn Trading Company. Your Highness intends to ask in person. You must reply carefully and not deceive."
"Yes..." The manager immediately fell to the ground with a fearful look and said, "The villain has seen Your Highness."
Liu Chengfeng said happily: "No need to be polite. The Lonely King knows that you must have suffered a lot after escaping all the way. Come on, sit down and reply. The Lonely King is not here to examine you, but just ask some details, you don't have to
Nervous, just say everything that happened in those days.”
The manager nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice and said, "Yes. The villain will never dare to deceive him." Then he stood up carefully. Someone brought him a seat. He sat down with his butt, and a clerk also poured him a piece of cake.
When the tea came, the manager held the tea in his hand and seemed a little restrained and refused to drink it.
Liu Chengfeng said: "What's your name?"
"The villain Zhang Shicheng."
"Zhang Shicheng? Why does this name Lonely King sound a bit taboo?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but joke.
However, Liu Chengfeng joked that Zhang Shicheng didn't scare him to death. Zhang Shicheng hurriedly said: "It's a secular world. Successful Cheng. My father has no knowledge, and he doesn't know any allusions. He also got his name randomly at that time, so he made his highness laugh.
Now.”
Liu Chengfeng suppressed his hands and smiled: "The Lonely King has no intention of asking for guilt. Okay, Zhang Shicheng, now you will tell us about the journey to sea and the robbery. The Lonely King knows that this is painful for you.
After experiencing such a thing, I am afraid that anyone will not want to think about it again, so you will say it slowly.”
Zhang Shicheng took a deep breath and nodded. As a manager, he had seen the world. In addition, Liu Chengfeng's performance was very kind and friendly, which also eliminated his vigilance a lot. Zhang Shicheng said: "This is the thing, at the beginning of this year.
At that time, the business received this batch of goods. The batch of goods was sent to Luzon, but not purchased by the Luzon court.”
Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "It's not their court to buy it, who has such financial resources?"
Zhang Shicheng said: "It is said that the rebels of Luzon have been affected by several palaces. These rebels seem to have received funding from Franji people, so they purchased these firearms. The major trading companies in the Ming Dynasty have always been concerned about doing business and only guarding them.
The government stipulates that the latest firearms should not be sold to private or foreign vassal rules. If someone gives money, everyone will naturally do business with him."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think, if this is true, these firearms were thieves colluding with Franchise, then there should be no reason for Franchise to take such a big risk to rob these goods. Of course, it would be possible to take such a big risk to rob these goods.
, This may not be the plan of Franchise. They used the excuse to buy firearms and asked these thieves to request delivery. In this way, the movements of these firearms should be under the attention of Franchise. Since they know
The other party has already shipped the goods, and knows which ships are being shipped, and also knows where their necessary path will be. It seems that they have taken all the right time and place, and it seems that it is convenient to rob.
Zhang Shicheng continued: "By the beginning of April, the goods were loaded on board. Because this batch of goods was the most important and there were gunpowder on it, the owner was very cautious and repeatedly told us to take care of it before leaving.
”
Liu Chengfeng said: "Why are you careful?"
Zhang Shicheng said: "Of course, be careful of the Luzon court. If the Luzon royal court heard the news, they would naturally send people to intercept it."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but nodded. Yes, these firearms were rebels from Luzon, how could the Luzon royal court remain indifferent? In this way... even the Luzon royal court is suspected?
But does the Luzon royal court have such strength?
Zhang Shicheng continued: "After the fleet went out to sea, we kept moving south along the waterway. Things seemed to be going well. When we almost arrived in the Luzon waters, we became nervous at that time because this batch of goods was related to thieves, so we did not
Taking the ordinary waterway, it was another way. The waterway had been abandoned, so there were not many boats. That night was March 19th, and the weather was particularly clear, but it was light rain and the wind and waves on the sea.
Not small, but at this time, a fleet still appeared in front of us. This fleet, like our fleet, is also four, all huge lucky ships, and everyone walking on the sea knows it.
Most of the lucky ships are ships loading cargo, and they will never be pirates, so we didn't care at that time, but just when the two sides were intertwined, the other party suddenly fired a cannon..."
When he said this, Zhang Shicheng's face became extremely nervous and said with fear: "Your Highness may not know that this cannon was fired with the strongest rope to restrain the pointed anchor and use the cannon to shoot it.
The pointed anchor flew forward and directly hit our hull. After the pointed anchor flew into the hull, the cable behind him just pulled the two ships, and then their helmsman quickly turned towards our ship.
The rudder came and fired a few more cable cannons, and our ship was completely fixed with them. At this time, these thieves climbed towards us with swords and guns along the cables. They were extremely numerous.
More than 200 people came to the villain's ship. The sailors on the ship knew that if they were attacked at sea, they would die if they could not resist. So everyone took weapons and fought with the pirates."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "Why don't you use muskets? And fight with them in close combat."
Zhang Shicheng said: "The ship is full of gunpowder, so who dares to use a firearm when it is absolutely necessary?"
Liu Chengfeng nodded. Generally speaking, ships going to sea will bring some firearms and gunpowder. However, because the number is not large, these gunpowders are sealed layer by layer and have many heavy protection measures, so even if they encounter danger.
, it will not be a big deal to use firearms, but the Wynn fleet's ships are different. This is a ship full of gunpowder. Once there is a mistake, everyone's corpse will be gone.
Zhang Shicheng said almost tremblingly: "Although we resisted, we are outnumbered. They rolled over the boat from all over the place, and they were well-trained, and they were extremely agile. The brothers fell to the ground one by one. What was the situation of other boats?
People don't know, they only know that the Changsheng Huo where the villain is almost fell, so I took the opportunity to set up a lifeboat with a few sailors. While the pirates were fighting on the front, they quickly escaped and went out in the sea.
After seven or eight days of floating in the middle, it was almost at the end of the road. Some of the companions died of injuries, and the rest were starved to death. The villain had fainted at that time, and a ship passed by, so the little one was passing by.
The man rescued the ship and escaped from the sky.”
When Zhang Shicheng said this, he was already crying. The terrible experience and many familiar people suddenly parted in life and death. If it were anyone, it would be difficult for him to bear it.
Liu Chengfeng was listening silently, but he did not forget to say, "That's all things? Are there any omissions? For example, have you met these pirates, their accent, their appearance, they are Han people or Franji people.
?”
Zhang Shicheng said: "The villain only heard someone say anything in Chinese. The situation was chaotic and noisy at that time. As for what accent he used, he didn't know, but from that sentence, he could tell that this person must be
He is a Han man.”
If you are a Han person... then can you rule out the Franji people? Even if you are a Luzonian, you can reduce the suspicion.
