I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 331 Another Batch of Japanese Bandits
Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian was sitting at the head, listening to everyone's report.

Zheng Michang stood up first, turned his gaze to Hu Zongxian who was sitting above him, and said.

"My lord governor, the subordinate officials have already completed the tasks you ordered earlier!"

When Zheng Michang said this, he paused for a moment and continued.

"Currently, there are already many merchant ships going to sea in Ningbo Port, and the number is still increasing!"

"Soon, Ningbo Port will be able to return to previous levels."

When Zheng Michang said this, his face was full of excitement.

After listening to Zheng Michang's report, Hu Zongxian nodded and said with emotion.

"Well, you did a good job on this!"

"In this way, the people along the coast can be regarded as having a way of life!"

After Zheng Michang finished reporting, Ma Ningyuan on the side also got up and reported to Hu Zongxian.

"Teacher, the current progress of changing rice to mulberry is also growing slowly. The government has also rewarded those who planted mulberry seedlings according to the previous agreement, and at the same time exempted them from corvee."

"Furthermore, there is no shortage of food for the time being."

After listening to Ma Ningyuan's report, Hu Zongxian nodded and said so.

"Well, we need to pay more attention to this aspect. If there is a sign of food shortage, the government can distribute the food prepared in advance to the people who grow mulberry seedlings!"

Hearing this, Ma Ningyuan immediately responded in a deep voice.

"is teacher!"

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the conference hall.

Immediately, a guard entered the meeting hall, turned his gaze to Hu Zongxian who was sitting at the head, and reported in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, General Qi sent someone to send news that they have captured a group of Japanese pirates!"

"what!"

When everyone present heard the news, they were all shocked, and then they all turned their eyes to Hu Zongxian who was sitting at the head, waiting for his instructions.

I saw Hu Zongxian picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and ordered unhurriedly.

"How about this, pass on the order of my officer, so that no matter what means Qi Jiguang uses, he must pry the mouths of these Japanese pirates!"

"I want to know the origins of this group of Japanese pirates. If there are stubborn guys among them, according to the past practice, they will be executed directly!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing that Hu Zongxian had given specific instructions, the guard left the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion without daring to stop after respectfully responding.

After the guard left, everyone in the hall couldn't help discussing.

Gao Hanwen got up from his seat, mustered up his courage, and asked Hu Zongxian.

"Governor, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, why didn't you follow the usual practice and execute all these Japanese pirates to death?"

After hearing Gao Hanwen's words, Hu Zongxian shook his head, and immediately explained.

"Keep them because they are still useful!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"According to the past practice, all pirates who are caught, regardless of the reason, will be executed on the spot!"

"Could it be that the imperial court gave Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, any instructions?"

……

"kill!"

"Kill kill!"

In the school grounds, Qi Jiguang was personally training his subordinates, and he personally corrected any irregular movements.

After several rounds of blood and fire, the army commanded by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou is the most elite and most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty except for the nine frontier armies.

At this moment, only the sound of horseshoes could be heard in the distance. After dismounting from the horse, the visitor went straight to where Qi Jiguang was.

When he came to Qi Jiguang's body, he bowed his hands to him with a respectful expression.

"Your Majesty, I have met General Qi!"

Qi Jiguang looked away from the man, and asked instead.

"What does the governor say?"

Upon seeing this, the visitor immediately informed Hu Zongxian of all orders.

"The governor wants you to pry open the mouths of these pirates no matter what method you use!"

"Your Excellency needs to know the origins of this group of Japanese pirates. He also said that if there are stubborn guys among them, they will be executed directly according to the past practice!"

Hearing this, Qi Jiguang didn't show any emotional fluctuations on his face, and immediately ordered.

"Well, this general understands, you can go back and report back!"

"As ordered!"

After the visitor saluted Qi Jiguang respectfully, he got on his horse and left the barracks according to the way he had come.

Afterwards, Qi Jiguang turned his gaze to the soldiers beside him and ordered so.

"Pass down the general's order, and punish those Japanese pirates first!"

"Yes, General!"

After the soldiers responded, they quickly conveyed Qi Jiguang's order.

……

In a dark room, about thirty Japanese pirates were curled up in a corner, trembling. They all had wounds of varying degrees on their bodies, most of which were caused by whipping.

"Kakuda-kun, this is all my fault, if I hadn't proposed to take this path, we wouldn't have been caught by Mingren!"

In the room, a young man with a pale face, a bun on his head, and his clothes have long been torn, listened to the words of his companion.

The man's name was Makoto Kakuda, who was born in a samurai family in Miyazaki, Kyushu, but later, due to the decline of his family, he had no choice but to engage in robbery.

Seeing that Makoto Kakuta was unmoved, the companion on the side continued to add.

"Listen to them, whoever falls into the hands of Ming people will be tortured to death!"

Seeing this, Makoto Kakuda comforted him.

"I can't completely blame you. No one knows that there will be an ambush by the Ming army on that road!"

"I hope God Amaterasu can protect us and survive smoothly!"

After Kakuda Makoto finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly and said nothing more.

At this moment, with a sound of 'squeak', the door of the room where the Japanese pirates were held was pushed open, and a dozen menacing soldiers walked in.

When the group of Japanese pirates huddled in the corner saw Ming soldiers coming in, their faces became even more terrified.

While retreating into the corner, he yelled in Japanese.

"Please spare our lives, we will never dare again!"

When these soldiers saw this, they became even more annoyed, and swung the whips in their hands with extra force, cursing angrily.

"What kind of bird language are you talking about, please be quiet, my uncle!"

"It's really bad luck, it's better to kill them all!"

Every time the whips in the hands of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were waved, a deep bloodstain would be left on the bodies of these Japanese pirates, and the wailing and screaming could be heard endlessly.

Finally, a soldier got impatient and pulled out a long knife from his waist, and dragged out the group of Japanese pirates who wailed the loudest, killing them with one blow.

After throwing the corpse aside casually like throwing rubbish, the leading soldier made a gesture of silencing the group of Japanese pirates.

Blood flowed out from the corpses, and gradually gathered into a small pool of blood around them. On the faces of those corpses, the expressions from before they were alive still remained.

There was a lingering smell of blood in the air. Seeing this situation, the remaining Japanese pirates did not dare to make any noise. In their eyes, this group of Ming soldiers were the incarnation of the devil.

"Hmph, it's finally clean, use torture!"

"Enter them well, life or death!"
