Chapter 577
The siege at sea was still going on, and in the village not far from the shore, Lu Chun had gathered up the remnants and returned.

Although he knew that Ye Xun's fleet was back, he couldn't be happy at all. There was no other reason. A runaway would be enough to kill him, not to mention that so many of his men died.

Thinking about the dozen or so Liaodong military officers who would rather die than retire, Lu Chun felt regretful and ashamed. He knew that Ye Gonggong would come back so soon, so he would have insisted a little longer. What should we do now?
How about running away?But can go there again?Xichang Jinyiwei is everywhere, and besides, he has a big family, so he can't leave them and escape by himself!
After much deliberation, Lu Chun finally listened to his subordinates' advice, that is, he blamed the dead officers, saying that they underestimated the enemy and made rash advances, which finally led to the fiasco.

Lu Chun thinks about it too. Anyway, people are dead, and there is no proof of death. He has also contributed a lot to the formation and training of the new army in the south of the Yangtze River.
After making up his mind, Lu Chun summoned all the officers to unify the caliber, and then led the troops to the seaside again, and put on a fighting posture while collecting the corpses of the fallen soldiers.

Not to mention, Lu Chun's men guarded the shore, and indeed caught many pirates who swam ashore after the ship sank. With the battleships as their backing, the soldiers of the Ming army did not escape this time.

In this way, Lu Chun has more confidence in his heart. Having these captives in his hands should be considered a credit, right?
The war of encirclement and annihilation at sea gradually came to an end. Under this indiscriminate and indiscriminate bombardment, not a single pirate ship was spared.

After Johnson and others fell into the water, they were rescued by the Ming army and became veritable prisoners.

It's just that the two brothers were very unconvinced. After being caught on the boat, they kept shouting and protesting.

The reason why Ye Xun rescued so many captives was that he was too confused by the tragic situation on the shore. Although he could investigate afterwards, it must be another situation from the mouths of these pirates.

The matter of interrogating the pirates was naturally handled by his subordinates. Ye Xun ordered people to bring the two foreign devils up, and he wanted to learn something about the West from the mouths of the two foreign devils.

He ordered someone to untie the ropes on Johnson and Marshall, and said in English: "Do you feel very unconvinced?"

"I protest, you are not a gentleman, I want to report your despicable behavior to your emperor"

"Snapped!"

Before Johnson could finish speaking, he felt his eyes blur, and then he was slapped heavily on the face.

"what!"

Johnson screamed and rolled on the deck, with two bloody teeth spit out from his mouth, shaking his fat head. He still doesn't understand what happened and who was beaten.

Marshall, who was on the side, saw the high-ranking Ming official sitting on the chair move, and then Johnson fell to the ground. There was no one else in front of them, so the one who beat someone could only be the young man who was sitting. How could the action be so fast?

While concentrating on vigilance so as not to repeat Johnson's mistakes, he asked doubtfully, "You, do you know magic?"

While speaking, he pulled out the cross from his collar and gestured at Ye Xun.

"This is Daming, your god can't save you, put away your bastard, or throw you into the sea and feed the sharks"

After hearing Ye Xun's threatening words, Marshall immediately closed his mouth wisely.

After Ye Xun finished speaking, he turned to Johnson who had already stood up, and continued: "Your armed merchant ships entering the territorial waters of Daming without the consent of the Ming government are tantamount to declaring war on us. There is no problem in sinking you."

Johnson clutched his swollen cheeks, still unconvinced: "But we have already surrendered, and you are still shelling us. This is not what a gentleman did."

"What do gentlemen do? When you massacred local aborigines in Luzon and India, did you talk to them about gentlemanly demeanor?"

Although Ye Xun didn't see these things with his own eyes, they actually happened, so as soon as Ye Xun's words came out, Johnson was immediately shut up, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he was still a little unconvinced.

"You are supposed to be from the East India Company?"

Hearing Ye Xun's question, Johnson and Marshall were taken aback. They obviously didn't expect Ye Xun to know about the East India Company. You must know that the East India Company has just been established, and now the company's main goal is to conquer Southeast Asia, and their attention has not yet shifted to this place. The great eastern countries are coming, and they are just the pioneers in exploring the way.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Xun knew that he had guessed right, so he continued: "In view of your aggression against our dynasty, sinking a warship is a slight punishment, and the captured crew members will receive five years of labor in our dynasty." Transformation, and you two can only go back one, you decide who goes back yourself!"

Although Marshall was quite frightened by Ye Xun's ghostly skills just now, after hearing Ye Xun's verdict, he still couldn't help saying: "My lord, these crew members have followed us all the way east and haven't returned home for a long time. You have been detained in Daming for five years, their families will not accept it, please forgive us for our disrespect"

The corners of Ye Xun's mouth twitched, and before he could speak, Tian Siqing strode up to the deck and whispered something in Ye Xun's ear.

After hearing Tian Siqing's words, Ye Xun's eyes narrowed immediately, and he said to Tian Siqing, "Give them a special ascension ceremony."

Tian Siqing smiled grimly and nodded, then turned around and strode away.

Ye Xun waved to Johnson and Marshall, and said, "Come on! Please watch a good show."

Interrogated by Tian Siqing and others, the pirates not only confessed that Du Bantian and Zijiro's subordinates killed the Ming army, but also confessed that dozens of pirates chased and killed thousands of Ming troops, and that a dozen officers would rather die than retreat. thing.

The Liaodong Army was created by Ye Xun, and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion were chosen from thousands of people, so Ye Xun believes that they will never escape from the battle. Now, after combining the confessions of the pirates, what happened on the shore before, Ye Xun has already guessed that it is almost inseparable.

At this moment, Ye Xun's mood can no longer be described with simple anger, but it's not yet time to settle, so let's use the lives of pirates like Du Bantian and Zijiro to pay homage to those brothers who died in battle!
Johnson originally wanted to fight with Ye Xun to take his men away, but when he heard that Ye Xun wanted them to watch a good show, he couldn't help leaning over the side of the boat curiously.

In a short time, more than ten small boats were released from the treasure ship, and the small boats were full of pirates tied up in a row. Du Bantian and Zijiro were also on the list, and the small boats drifted away quickly along the current.

What is this for?
Johnson and Marshall looked at each other suspiciously. At this moment, the two suddenly felt a shock in their feet, and then a cannon shot came.

Under such circumstances, the two of them still don't understand what kind of show Daming, a young high-ranking official, wants to invite them to watch, but this play is too cruel, right?
Amidst the rumbling gunfire, the Liangyang devils looked at Ye Xun with fear in their eyes
