Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

The two red-haired devils were frightened when they saw the bag, but they pretended to be calm.

"Oh? Open it and see what it is?"

Shi Bowen took it and saw that it was a bag made of alpaca skin. The bag was very strong and heavy.

"My Lord, these seem to be different minerals!"

He flipped through it again. "Huh? There are small gold and silver nuggets here! They are of very high purity, just like what I found in the southern fortress before!"

Cao Bianjiao took the bag and threw it directly at the feet of the red-haired devil: "Is this your stuff?"

The two red-haired devils were startled and shook their heads wildly.

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao looked at Huang Ziyao.

"These two are too suspicious. You Jinyiwei are the best at interrogation. Now let's see what you can do, Captain Huang."

Huang Ziyao smiled happily: "Don't worry, sir. I have some new tricks to try out. I promise to make them confess clearly how many times they have cheated on me and how long they have had sex. Hehehe."

After that, he rubbed his hands and said to Shi Bowen, "Come on, Little Shitou, take these two red-haired devils out to enjoy themselves."

They both came from the Northern Pacification Office, and torture was a common occurrence for them.

Since Huang Ziyao got promoted, he seldom did it himself and hadn't tortured prisoners for a long time, especially rare species like the red-haired devils. Just thinking about it made him excited.

He led Shi Bowen away the two uneasy red-haired devils, and also asked Zhao Huchen to act as an interpreter.

A few of them found a larger shack and went inside.

"Brother Huang, what method shall we use this time? Acupuncture, skinning or playing the pipa?" The two had often teamed up in the past, so Shi Bowen asked habitually.

Huang Ziyao smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehehe, Little Stone, let's try something new today. That thing was invented by your wife."

Shi Bowen widened his eyes when he heard this, very surprised.

"Are you talking about a telegraph? Can that thing be used to punish people?"

"Whether it works or not, you will know after you try it, hahahaha."

Under Huang Ziyao's arrangement, a one-cubic-meter box was carried in.

When they opened it, they found that there was not a complete telegraph system inside, but a battery in a rectangular box and a hand-cranked generator.

"Is this the telegraph? The telegraph invented by Xiaoyu?" Shi Bowen looked at the two things curiously.

It was the first time for the two red-haired devils to see such a novel thing, and they stretched their necks to look at it from behind.

I thought that if it was something good, I would be rich if I could find a chance to bring it back to Europe.

Zhao Huchen couldn't help but laugh when he saw them like this.

He is a survivor of the Song Dynasty. The historical memory passed down from his ancestors made him have no good feelings towards any barbarians outside of China.

What's more, he had fought side by side with Shi Bowen before and killed many red-haired devils in the fortress.

At this moment, hearing that Huang Ziyao was going to torture these two red-haired devils, he felt indescribably happy in his heart.

"This is not a complete telegraph machine, but only a part of it. This box is called a battery. Come, come, I'll teach you how to use it."

Huang Ziyao handed Shi Bowen a pair of sheepskin gloves and pointed at the two red-haired devils.

"Push them down!"

At the command, his Jinyiwei rushed over and pinned the two men to the ground with their limbs spread out.

The two of them struggled frantically and screamed in panic.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

"You rude barbarians! How dare you treat the great explorer from Great Spain like this!"

"You're going to hell!"

Huang Ziyao smiled and gestured to them to keep quiet.

"Shh!"

Chapter 612 Explorers of the Spanish Empire

Huang Ziyao said:

"Now I'm giving you one last chance. Where are you from? What are you doing here? Why were you captured by Dorgon?"

After hearing Zhao Huchen's translation, red-haired Jose looked at the Jinyiwei who were holding him down, and felt a little scared, so he immediately spoke in the native language.

"I said, we are following..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Diego next to him stopped him in Spanish.

"Shut up, Jose! You coward! You are unworthy of being an explorer of my Spanish Empire! You have tarnished the sacred profession of explorer!"

Seeing the two people screaming, Huang Ziyao frowned: "What are they screaming about?"

Zhao Huchen replied, "The red-haired guy seemed to want to confess the truth just now, but he was stopped by the brown-haired guy next to him. As for what he said, Zhao didn't understand a word."

Huang Ziyao laughed when he heard this: "Okay, okay!"

He pointed at Diego and said, "You're a tough guy, aren't you? Take off his pants for me!"

Upon hearing the order, the Jinyiwei immediately pulled down Diego's pants, revealing a beautiful scene.

On a flat land, there are rocks standing upright, some white, some black, some wrinkled, some smooth, some round, some curved, and some curly...

Diego suddenly felt a chill in his abdomen and began to struggle frantically.

"What are you going to do!"

"You are shameless! Shameless!"

......

No matter how much he struggled, Huang Ziyao ignored him and just walked to the battery.

This battery was the one that Wei Jinyu specially made at the request of Sun Kangwang, and he made a batch of batteries with increased current.

Zhen Beiwang took more than a dozen sets and specially gave one set to Huang Ziyao to bring to America.

Although the telegraph station has not been laid here yet, this is the only large-capacity battery in his team, so he naturally has to carry it with him at all times. This time it finally came in handy.

He connected two wires tied with metal strips to the two terminals of the battery and turned on the power.

"Little Stone, put on your gloves and pick up that iron bar with one hand."

After seeing Shi Bowen do as he was told, he continued.

“Try rubbing two iron bars together.”

Shi Bowen did as he was told. A moment later, a small electric current hissed through the two metal bars, giving him a fright.

Huang Ziyao was very satisfied: "This is the new electric shock invented by our Jinyiwei! It will be effective as long as these two iron bars are placed close to one place at the same time."

"Now punish the brown-haired guy!"

"Okay!"

Shi Bowen responded and excitedly raised two metal bars and poked them at Diego's two bells.

The hissing sound continued to be heard, and in an instant, the screams like pigs being slaughtered pierced the snowy night.

"what!!!"

Huang Ziyao leaned forward and took a look: "Ouch... It looks like it's burnt? It seems like it was done with too much force, the skin has turned black!"

He looked to the side again and saw that the red-haired guy had been scared to the point of peeing. A foul smell was spreading around, but he didn't scream when he saw him looking at him.

“No! No no!”

"I confess! I'll tell you everything. I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Hearing Zhao Huchen's translation, Huang Ziyao smiled with satisfaction.

After a while, Huang Ziyao and the other two came to see Cao Bianjiao.

"My lord, I have confessed everything."

Cao Bianjiao's face was calm: "Well, I'm relieved that Jinyiwei will handle this matter. Tell me if there is any important information."

Shi Bowen had been in America for a long time and knew a lot about the situation. Huang Ziyao signaled him to give a detailed report.

Hearing this, he immediately spoke:

"These two red-haired devils are Portuguese. They are the same group I killed in the southern fortress earlier."

"These two are different from other Portuguese soldiers. They call themselves explorers and are responsible for finding rich resources in various places, such as gold, silver and other mineral deposits."

"They both know some Aboriginal language, so communicating with the Aboriginals will be helpful for them in finding resources."

"They were captured by Dorgon when they were out looking for gold."

"Gold mine?!" Cao Bianjiao was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, sir. It is said that they have discovered a golden country in South America, where there are countless mountains of gold and silver!"

"Golden Country! Mountains of gold! Mountains of silver!" Cao Bianjiao was very excited when he heard this and suddenly stood up.

"I never thought that this wild land actually contained such a huge amount of wealth. Your Majesty would be very pleased if he heard this news!"

"This matter is of great importance. We must pass this valuable information to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"

He looked at Shi Bowen and said, "General Shi, you must immediately write down everything that happened here, send it to the nearest telegraph station, and send it to His Majesty."

"Yes, sir. I'll write it right away."

Huang Ziyao said: "Sir, the nearest telegraph station should have been built to the east of Yanni, which is still a thousand miles away."

"It doesn't matter, this matter is important and should be given priority!"

"Now that Dorgon has been executed, once General Shi has drafted the contents of the telegram, we will immediately move our camp and head towards Yan'anwei. Everything awaits your majesty's decision."

After two hours of rest, Shi Bowen finished drafting the telegram, selected the fastest reindeer and several reindeer herders, and rushed to the nearest radio station with the telegram.

The team then set off. During the journey, the snow came and went, time passed quickly, and it was difficult to distinguish between night and day.

By the time Cao Bianjiao received Zhu Youxiao's reply, half a month had passed.

"Your Majesty has sent a telegram and issued an order! North America and South America are renamed North America and South America; Yanni Anxia is renamed Yinxia, ​​and Yanni Anwei is renamed Yinxiawei."

"Shi Bowen was rewarded for killing Dorgon, the leader of the Jiannu remnants, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Northern Pacification Division. He was ordered to lead Zhao Huchen and other Song and Yin survivors as well as Du Sha and other Tungusic people back to the Ming Dynasty to receive the reward."

"Huang Ziyao was promoted to a thousand households, and he and Cao Bianjiao, the commander of Yinxia Guard, jointly managed the southern and northern Mozhou. Their main task was to collect precious resources such as gold and silver..."

"Thank you, Lord. Long live the Emperor!"

After the message in the telegram was read out, everyone faced west and bowed. From then on, Shi Bowen led Zhao Huchen, Du Sha and others to part ways with Cao Bianjiao and Huang Ziyao.

It was January 23rd of the ninth year of the Tianqi reign.

The Lantern Festival had passed long ago, and the festive atmosphere in Beijing had only just begun to fade. The emperor and his ministers began their nine-to-five life of clocking in for work again.

Zhu Youxiao summoned all the cabinet ministers to discuss state affairs in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wen Tiren said, "Your Majesty, considering the time, the commander of Yinxia Guard should have received your Majesty's order."

"I didn't expect that there would be so much gold and silver in Mozhou. The Portuguese have a lot of guns and cannons. Commander Cao didn't bring any firearms when he crossed Yinxia to the east. I am worried that he will lose the fight."

"I suggest that you send him some more Chengying and Longshe to help him."

Chapter 613 I am Your Majesty’s Younger Brother

When it comes to Mozhou, Guo Yunhou is no longer sleepy.

Guo Yunhou has been extremely excited since he learned the news a few days ago that Mozhou was full of gold and silver.

His mind was full of thoughts on how to make use of Mozhou's gold and silver so that his Ministry of Revenue could take this opportunity to turn things around.

We had already decided which officials to send there, what management approach to use to develop the mineral resources there, and so on.

He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. He had to work hard in the fields with his wife until he was exhausted before he could fall asleep.

His wife was radiant with joy, and secretly praised her husband, Mr. Guo, for finally regaining his manhood. She was very satisfied, and added extra dishes to his meal every day, and their life was quite comfortable.

At this time, when Guo Yunhou heard Wen Tihen's proposal to strengthen Mozhou's military, he agreed wholeheartedly.

He immediately jumped forward and clasped his hands in agreement, "Your Majesty, what Elder Wen said is absolutely right!"
