The sailors aboard the only surviving Gongsundu battleship were all speechless as they listened to Gan Ning's men's shouting. They had no doubts about the content of Gan Ning's men's shouting. After all, the slave trade in Youzhou, and
All war prisoners are usually sold as slaves, which has long been known throughout the world. Moreover, this is indeed more preferential treatment than other princes' treatment of prisoners of war.
There are many. In other places, after capturing prisoners, they either kill them or make them do hard labor until they die. It's not like in Youzhou, where they are fed, drank and housed. There is even legal protection.
, as long as you work hard, you can become a commoner after a certain period of time. Isn't it just a change in the name? As long as you can eat and drink well these days, who cares about that?
Gongsun Du's naval commander saw that all of his men had no fighting spirit and knew that he was in doom. So he took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped his beloved
waist
Dao, said softly to his men: "Our (di) is defeated. Yours, surrender. I, the commander and the warrior, are responsible for the defeat. Mine. I'm tired. Let's go to the cabin to rest.
You don’t want to disturb me.”
When each of Gongsundu's sailors heard the commander-in-chief agreeing to their surrender, they all breathed a sigh of relief and said to themselves: They don't have to die this time.
However, the deputy general of the navy commander heard the hidden meaning in the commander's words. He immediately knelt in front of the navy commander, desperately touched the deck with his head, and said at the top of his lungs: "General, we
It’s not the retainers of General Gongsun, but it’s the Queen’s envoy. It’s your martyrdom that I don’t want.” He deliberately shouted out these meanings in half-baked Central Plains dialect, implying that other generals were blocking the great commander’s martyrdom.
The commander-in-chief looked at the lieutenant with some reluctance and shouted loudly: "Fifty-six, you don't understand the dignity of a warrior. Mine is different from yours. You go with them. Tell me what you are doing."
Get your identity. We from the Central Plains will not treat you badly."
The fifty-six fiercely hugged the commander's left leg and cried loudly: "General, there are fifty-six who will survive, forever, and your retainers."
The commander kicked Fifty-Six out and shouted angrily: "Baga! Fifty-six, what's wrong with your man! What's wrong with my retainer! Get out!"
"Ahem!" Fifty-six kowtowed again, stood up, looked at the commander-in-chief with a determined look, and shouted loudly: "I am the general's retainer, forever! Where is the general going? I, Fifty-six
Follow along and work! I will serve the General forever."
The commander looked at Fifty-Six with relief and nodded, preparing to leave for the cabin. Unfortunately, he was disturbed by Fifty-Six. Some of his men had already surrendered to Gan Ning, while others
some of his men who followed him loyally
, also reacted, knowing that their commander-in-chief was determined to die. These people did not want the commander-in-chief to die, and they did not care about the noble status of the commander-in-chief at the moment. The confused commander-in-chief fell to the ground.
He couldn't move.
As a result, this unlucky commander was captured alive by Gan Ning.
There is a saying: experts know the rules, and laymen see the excitement. Gan Ning happens to be an expert in the navy, so he admires the commander's ability to command the fleet. And Gan Ning also understands that although
The commander-in-chief was defeated by him in this water battle. But that didn't mean that the commander-in-chief's commanding ability was worse than his own, but that he didn't understand that his stern battleship was made of steel.
My own secret loss.
Therefore, when Gan Ning learned that the commander-in-chief had been captured, he immediately asked people to take him up. He was ready to see who the commander-in-chief was and to persuade him to surrender and let him help him train his navy.
.
But when Gan Ning saw this commander, he felt really strange. Although the commander was wearing the clothes of the Han Dynasty and looked similar to the people from the Central Plains, Gan Ning felt that this commander did not look like him.
The Han people, and this commander-in-chief was very tough and would not cooperate at all. They also ignored Gan Ning. This really gave Gan Ning a huge headache.
Gan Ning sometimes got so angry that he wanted to kill him with a knife. But he cherished his skills. Moreover, the most important thing was that the deputy general of this commander had some words from a guy named Fifty-six, which completely dissuaded him.
Gan Ning's murderous intention.
The fifty-six stayed dishonestly among the prisoners, shouting very arrogantly: He was the queen's envoy, and he came to pay homage to the Han Emperor. He could not be treated the same as others. Those soldiers guarding him, listening to fifty-six
Liu's accent was indeed not from the Central Plains. Without knowing how to deal with it, he informed Gan Ning of the matter. After Gan Ning called Fifty-Six and asked him in detail, he was also not sure what should be done about it.
What should I do? Although the imperial court now exists in name only. But after all, my lord is still under the banner of a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and the lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. This is really hard to say. And no matter what, I should
As ministers of the Heavenly Kingdom, if envoys from foreign countries come to worship, I should provide them with the obligation to protect them. But they are obviously serving Gongsun Du's navy. How should we deal with this?
In the end, Gan Ning had no choice but to report Fifty-Six and the others.
And the commander-in-chief was even more favored by Fifty-Six. Although Fifty-Six spoke awkwardly, he also proved that the commander-in-chief who had been unwilling to cooperate was the real person in charge of the mission.
Moreover, Gan Ning admired Fifty-Six's die-hard loyalty to the commander-in-chief. Gan Ning had no choice but to send the commander-in-chief and Fifty-Six to Liu Ming.
When Liu Ming saw this commander, Gongsun Du didn't know that his navy had been completely wiped out.
But after Liu Ming saw Fifty-Six and the commander-in-chief, he was also very strange. Especially Fifty-Six's half-baked Central Plains dialect made Liu Ming deeply impressed and disgusted.
Liu Ming frowned and said to Fifty-Six and the commander: "Yours, Japanese?"
Fifty-six and the commander looked at Liu Ming in confusion. However, after they saw the disgusted look on Liu Ming's face, Fifty-six was nothing. But the commander couldn't help but roared.
: "Confucius said Chengren, Mencius said righteousness. Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! My Central Plains people work! Yours, don't humiliate me! Kill me! Let me die like a brave man."
Liu Ming felt even more strange when he saw the words and deeds of this commander. Liu Ming cursed in his heart: Damn it, this guy is obviously a little Japanese. Why is he so disgusted with Japan? Why don't you humiliate him? Damn it.
He's a blind ghost. However, this guy's use of Confucius as Chengren and Mencius as righteousness is quite slippery.
At this time, Liu Ming saw the demeanor of the commander who was bent on seeking death and ready to serve generously for justice, and he felt unhappy again: What are you doing? You make me look like a martyr, and I become a villain.
Hehe, since you want to die, I won't let you die.
Liu Ming stared at the Commander-in-Chief and Fifty-Six, wondering how he could figure out the truth about these two people. At this time, Liu Ming found that Fifty-Six looked at the Commander-in-Chief with an expression of understanding.
Liu Ming immediately thought of a way. This fifty-six was definitely a breakthrough point. Since he said that he was an envoy, he must not be worried about death. And judging from his expression, he must also know about this commander-in-chief.
The secret of identity.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming slapped the table and shouted to Fifty-Six and the commander: "I don't care whether you are Japanese or not. Since you said that you are envoys and are here to worship me, you should report it."
The name of your country, and you submitted your country’s customs clearance documents and the commendation of pilgrimage. But now you neither tell the name of your country, nor do you have any evidence to prove it. How can you make me believe you?
"
The commander-in-chief still didn't say a word, but the fifty-six-year-old man was a little stupid. Apparently he didn't understand what Liu Ming said.
Liu Ming was originally a little proud of his psychological warfare, but when he saw the appearance of these two people, he became very angry, and his emotions were all over the place.
At this time, Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "My lord, these two people are outsiders. Why don't you let me go and ask questions?"
Liu Ming nodded. Jia Xu didn't care about the commander, and went straight to the fifty-sixth one and asked: "Are you the envoy?"
"Ahem!" That fifty-six understood this time and replied cheerfully.
But at this time, the commander suddenly said: "My, not the envoy!" Then there was no shortage of words.
But that fifty-six fell to his knees on the ground and screamed.
Liu Ming was listening to it, and felt that it seemed to be Japanese, but it seemed not. However, he didn't know much Japanese anyway. If he couldn't hear the difference, there was nothing surprising.
However, after the commander-in-chief finished shouting at fifty-six, he did not shout back in the same way. Instead, he said in half-baked Central Plains dialect: "My descendants of China are different from yours."
.What’s mine after arriving here is no longer the envoy’s. What’s the Central Plains people’s.”
Liu Ming heard this even more strangely. At this time, Jia Xu seized the opportunity and asked the commander: "You said you are from the Central Plains, but people in the Central Plains all have surnames, so what is your surname?"
?”
Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief didn't respond to Jia Xu's question. However, the fifty-six was afraid that the commander-in-chief would suffer a loss, so he stumbled and said: "General, I will not report my name to you. General, sir."
If I lose this time, I don’t want to damage the honor of my ancestors.”
Jia Xu looked at Fifty-Six's answer, then turned around and asked Fifty-Six: "Your name is Fifty-Six? Are you also from the Central Plains? Your surname is Wu?"
Fifty-six said with a look of shame: "My, I am not from the Central Plains. I am not worthy. Mine is the hereditary retainer of the General. My surname is not Wu. My surname is Da Dao. It is the General.
given by ancestors
, I am the fifty-sixth generation grandson. So I call it fifty-six. The full name is Oshima fifty-six." Although this fifty-six looked ashamed when he said it, when he mentioned his surname, he was full of shame.
A complacent look.
Who is Jia Xu? It was immediately obvious that these two people had an almost paranoid fanaticism about their surnames. And judging from the demeanor of these two people, they really looked like one master and one servant. Moreover, the naval commander also had
Maybe they are really descendants of the Central Plains people who fled to foreign countries.
Guo Jia saw the psychological weakness of these two people and immediately came up with an idea. He deliberately curled his lips, looked at the two people with contempt and said: "You really don't deserve to mention the surnames of your ancestors. The people of the Central Plains value loyalty first. Just now
You also know that benevolence means justice, but you assisted the traitor Gongsun Du in his rebellion. What kind of loyalty is there?"
Sure enough, this was really the Achilles heel of the navy commander. The navy commander immediately opened his eyes and said: "My samurai, loyalty! To Gongsun, my death! Loyalty. Mine, to the people of the Central Plains."
live."
Jia Xu said contemptuously again: "Following a traitor is a traitor. What kind of loyalty is there? Even if you die, it will still damage the honor of your ancestors. Unless you can be pardoned by our court. In that case, you
Then you will be worthy of the honor of your ancestors. And you can honor your ancestors and return to your clan openly."
Jia Xu saw that the naval commander was still hesitant, so Jia Xu shouted loudly: "Knowing shame is almost courage! Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, there is no greater good! Since you already know your mistakes, why are you still stubborn!"
The commander was suddenly startled and said with sudden realization: "I am guilty! My, please see the emperor! My apology! Please help!" After saying that, the navy commander lowered his head and bowed to Jia Xu.
.
Jia Xu was now sure of winning, so he said calmly: "How noble is the current Holy Emperor? How can you and other lowly people just come to see him casually?"
When Jia Xu said this, he saw the commander's body trembling, as if he had been hit. Jia Xu then continued: "However, you don't have to panic. For crimes like yours, my lord has the right to
Forgive you."
Seeing his disbelieving look, Jia Xu quickly continued: "My lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is also the Taiwei of the current dynasty, and has the power to appoint and remove soldiers from all walks of life in the world. Like Gongsun Du's treason,
It is my lord who personally came to quell the rebellion. Therefore, it is not an easy task to pardon you, a general who has gone astray and been deceived by others."
This time, the naval commander finally believed him. He immediately knelt on the ground, touched his head to the ground, and said to Liu Ming: "Sir, please forgive me for my sins."
