At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 379

Watching the Flying Shark in East Rome drifting away, Zhang Mao hesitated to speak several times.

Zhu Qizhen had noticed his expression a long time ago, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly, isn't it uncomfortable to hold back?"

"Your Majesty... why did you let them go?"

Zhang Mao couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked the question in his heart.

Zhu Qizhen chuckled lightly and said, "Why can't I let him go?"

"Isn't the emperor afraid that he will go back and report the news? In this way, the Eastern Romans must be fully prepared, I am afraid, I am afraid..."

"I'm still worried that they won't fight!"

Zhu Qizhen's idea was simple and crude. These Eastern Romans were defeated by the Ottomans and exiled to the sea. Although they knew that their base camp was Ceylon, how many people were on the island, how many people were like Prussians, Charlemagne's battle abroad is still unknown.

If you drive the ironclad ship over by yourself, these people will be defeated, and they may run to another island to hide with the blueprint.

I'm the emperor, and I have a lot of business at home, so I can't play hide-and-seek with you at sea!
It's better to show the card, I'm here to hit you, and I'll give you time to prepare.

In this way, all the Eastern Romans will definitely return to defend Ceylon in a short time, waiting for the decisive battle.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to wipe them out in one fell swoop at that time!

Zhang Mao suddenly felt that his situation was small.

He is a bold and careful person. He looks rough on the outside, but he is very meticulous on the inside, because he was taught by his father since he was a child, how to be careful when sailing for thousands of years, but now he realizes that he is conservative!
See how the emperor fights!
Let me tell you first, I'm going to beat you, no matter what preparations you have, no matter what tactics you use, or even tricks, hehe...

It doesn't matter, the Ironclad will make a move.

Just to crush you head-on!

When all your troops have shrunk back to the defense, spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build fortifications, and hide behind to prepare for a big battle, I will break through your defense line from the front, then trample you under your feet, and then spit Take a bite!
Zhang Mao seemed to open the door to a new world. It turns out that wars can still be fought like this?

So unrestrained, I like it...

Zhu Qizhen didn't want to explain too much, and immediately issued an order, and the fleet assembled to attack Temasek Island.

The rest of the ships got the signal and began to approach Zheng He.

Zhu Qiyu's ship was the closest, and when he heard the sound of gunfire, he commanded the fleet to come to support.

Because he was so fast, the battle was over by the time he arrived.

When the fleet assembled and marched towards Temasek Island, the Eastern Romans on the island didn't even know what happened.

Since being attacked by the Ming army, Charlemagne gathered all the fighters on the island to pursue him, but there has been no news so far.

Although Wells escaped from birth, he did not return to Temasek Island at all, but returned directly to Ceylon Island.

Only civilians were left on Temasek Island, and when the Ming fleet arrived, there was not even a single person who resisted.

Li Zhen and Chen Ying could not help but look at each other, the cannons of the Shenji Battalion were ready, and the [-] Battalion was ready to go, but...there was no resistance!
After the Ming army landed, a white flag had already been raised over the city.

Zhu Qizhen is also quite disappointed, if you don't resist, I won't be able to enjoy the pleasure at all!
In this way, the Ming army took over Griffin City without a single soldier.

"Respected Emperor Ming, I am John II of the Eastern Roman Empire, a member of the Holy Church, in the name of God..."

An old man with a white beard introduced him in broken Chinese for a long time, Zhu Qizhen listened to it, it was all nonsense.

Especially opening your mouth to God and shutting your mouth to God can't help but make people feel bored.

"Okay, stop talking!"

Zhu Qizhen was very irritable and waved his hand to stop it.

"Don't you just want to say that you are an aristocrat in Eastern Rome, a member of some kind of church, and you want me to give you some power? You want to return the holy church, something that pretends to be a ghost, holy shit!"

John II looked slightly annoyed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the people of Griffin City sincerely submit to you, and elected me as their representative. In the name of God, I hope that we can live in harmony."

Zhu Qizhen asked with a half-smile, "How do you live in harmony?"

John II had been prepared for a long time, and said immediately: "The Eastern Roman Empire is the people of God. As far as I know, the Han people do not have faith, but it doesn't matter. God will not abandon everyone. As long as you are devout, you can get God." favor."

Zhu Qizhen became angrier as he listened, and interrupted him again: "Are you Eastern Romans very religious?"

"Yes, we are all believers in the future."

"Then why can't the homes beaten by the Ottomans return?"

John II fell silent suddenly, because he didn't know how to answer.

"According to your theory, are the Ottomans more devout than you?"

"No, no!"

John II hurriedly explained: "The Ottomans are despicable and shameless, they will not be favored by God."

"However, they won. You are very pious, but you have not received God's favor."

"We, we... just careless..."

"You say you are pious, but when you were beaten up by the Ottomans, your God didn't help. Why?"

"Because, because..."

"You say that the Ottomans are despicable, but God is on their side. Does that mean that, in fact, you are the ones who were abandoned?"

"No, no..."

John II's face was pale, and his hands shook involuntarily.

"Now, are you still a devout believer?"

"Yes Yes!"

John II suddenly became crazy and shouted: "God has not abandoned us, we are the most devout believers in the world, no matter what time, God will never abandon us!"

Zhu Qizhen sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's good, tell me, what did your God do when our navy landed on Temasek Island?"

John II thought hard, and after a while, he said, "God has protected us from being slaughtered. Your Majesty, every decision you make now is God's will!"

"I see!"

Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he wanted to laugh, I kindly let you live, but it became God's favor.

Well, the logic is good and powerful!

"Come on!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin stood up, feeling eager to try.

"Here is a child of God. Since he is so devout, I decided to send him to see God!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin beckoned, and Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward, grabbed John II and walked out.

John II suddenly became anxious and shouted: "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Bin said coldly: "The Emperor has an order to send you to see God!"

"no no……"

John II was overwhelmed with anxiety, struggling hard, and said: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"

"why?"

"Because, because... I am a child of God!"

"That's right, so I'm going to send you to see God!"

"I... I... God, you can't do this..."

Yuan Bincai ignored him and pulled out the knife from his waist. John II turned pale with fright and trembled all over.

"Forget it..."

Yuan Bin muttered to himself, and put the knife back.

Only then did John II heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going to die, it turned out to be the trick of these Easterners.

It seems that they don't dare to do anything to themselves.

"Then someone, go find a stick."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, John II was suddenly taken aback, with a chill in his heart.

I saw a strong man coming up to me with a stick and said, "Master Commander, what do you think of this root?"

"good!"

Yuan Bin nodded and said, "Drag to the outside of the city and kill him!"

"Yes!"

"no, do not want……"

The fear in John II's heart quickly magnified, and he cried: "I don't want to die, let me go..."

However, no one paid any attention to his wailing.

Two Jinyi guards dragged him outside to the downtown area, and then slapped him with a stick, causing him to grin his teeth and break out in cold sweat.

Snapped!
Another stick hit the calf, and there was only a click, the sound of bones breaking.

"what!"

John II suddenly felt a piercing pain and screamed loudly.

Snapped!
These two Jin Yiwei were in charge of the execution, and the strength of their strikes was just right. Every time the stick was hit, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Poor John II wailed for half an hour, until he exhausted his last bit of strength...

Yuan Bin replied: "Your Majesty, that guy has already gone to see their God!"

Zhu Qizhen asked, "How is the effect?"

"Those Eastern Romans don't talk about God now."

"It should have been this way!"

Zhu Qizhen showed a disdainful expression on his face, and said: "The order goes on, saying that I sympathize with the people, as long as they are devout believers of God, I will send them to see God!"

"Yes!"

Jin Ying couldn't help but said: "These foreigners are too much. The emperor showed mercy and spared their lives, but he was ungrateful. He should be damned!"

"How can I have the same knowledge as him?" Zhu Qizhen said displeased, "I kindly sent him to see God, do you understand?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant's mouth... is very stupid, she said the wrong thing..."

"Remember, I am not a warlike and murderous person, I must convince others with virtue!"

"Yes, convince people with virtue, convince people with virtue..."

Jin Ying had an apologetic smile on her face, but she wondered in her heart, could it be that the artillery of the Shenji Battalion changed its name to "De"?
"Yuan Bin, Li Zhen!"

"Chen is here!"

"Chen is here!"

The two stepped forward to salute, waiting for instructions.

"The [-] Battalion took over the city defense, and anyone who finds plotters will be killed without mercy, and there is no need to report it!"

"Yes!"

"Jin Yiwei is responsible for the investigation of the whole city, and all those who believe in God will be sent to see God."

"Yes!"

The two left one after another to carry out the imperial decree.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu was coming in from the outside, and the three of them met face to face. Li Zhen and Yuan Bin clasped their fists in salute, and Zhu Qiyu also clasped their fists in return.

"Brother Emperor!"

As soon as Zhu Qizhen raised his head, he saw his younger brother walking in hurriedly, and asked, "What did you find?"

"My brother found the warehouse of the Eastern Romans, and found a lot of gold and silver, as well as my Ming's treasures."

Zhu Qizhen nodded. There was no contact between the Ming court and the Eastern Romans. Presumably, these were all smuggled.

Thinking of Qiongzhou Wei's rebellion, I think it's too deep, so I can only take the risk.

"Is it cleared?"

"There are too many, and they haven't been counted yet. There are roughly one million gold, ten million silver, and countless jewels, jade, ivory and emeralds!"

The corners of Zhu Qizhen's lips turned upwards. It seems that these Eastern Romans often looted property from the surrounding countries.

That's fine, it's all yours now.

For no reason, there was an extra sum of money, and I couldn't help but feel good.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Brother Huang is afraid that two ships will be sent out to transport the gold and silver back to Daming."

"Why send it back?"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, then pointed to his feet, and said: "This is already the territory of Daming, everything that exists now must be preserved, and it will cost a lot of money to repair and strengthen construction!"

"Then these belongings..."

"Leave them all for construction..."

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while, and said: "Foreigners' names are too ugly, what is Griffin City, it doesn't sound nice at all, how about this, my Ming Dynasty has Beihaiwei, and naturally I also have Nanhaiwei. From now on, King Tan, you Stay here, and I will give you 3000 people to form the South Sea Guard."

"South Sea Guard..."

Zhu Qiyu murmured: "This name is quite good, I will surely fulfill my mission, but...those foreigners..."

"You can figure it out, kill if you want, stay if you want, you don't need to report to me."

"Brother, don't blame me. What I mean is that if you want to build the South Sea Guard, you need not only money, but also a lot of manpower. No matter where he is, as long as he sincerely surrenders, he might as well stay. After all, this place is far away from my mainland. Thousands of miles away, it may be difficult to relocate people."

"can!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "These people have to be investigated one by one, and there is no God allowed on my territory. They have to surrender sincerely, or go to see God. There is no other choice, understand?"

"My brother understands!"

"3000 people are still too few. Later, some people will migrate from Linyi and other places, especially those who are poor, have no land, or want to venture out. The expenses along the way will be borne by the imperial court. Come here. After that, I will give money to the house, and return the grain... That's right!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly: "Those men who went out to fight have gone to see God. As a result, there have been many foreign widows in the city. It is said that the imperial court will allocate daughter-in-laws, and the number is limited. First serve."

Zhu Qiyu: ...

Jin Ying: ...

Zhu Qizhen was puzzled and said, "Is this not a good idea?"

"Okay, great!"

Zhu Qiyu wiped off his sweat, and thought to himself, sending someone a widow, or a foreign widow, this kind of flirty idea is only you can think of.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care about these things, and said immediately: "Nanhaiwei has been transferred from the Navy, except for the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, you can choose whatever you want!"

"Your brother obeys the order!"

After Zhu Qiyu left, Zhu Qizhen looked at Jin Ying again.

Before he could speak, Jin Ying took the initiative to ask, "What orders does the emperor have?"

"Repair the ship, prepare enough food and supplies, and set off for Ceylon in one month!"
