The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Haoran walked around the foreigners with an ugly expression, and asked, "They all surrendered?"

Zhou Zhou bowed his head, "Yes."

Qi Haoran snorted coldly, "Are foreigners so immoral? Why don't they commit suicide if they don't die in battle?"

He wanted to capture pirates alive, but that was limited to three or four, not three or four hundred.

Three to four hundred captives, when he was at war with Jin Kingdom Xixia, at least 50,000 people had this number of captives, but they only had 3,000 people and there were more than 400 captives. This is too greedy for life and afraid of death. Is it too immoral?

Mu Yangling asked, "If it were you, would you kill yourself if you didn't die in battle?"

Qi Haoran stared and said: "Who can capture the Lord?"

"Didn't I say if?"

"There is no such if," Qi Haoran said seriously, "I will never be captured."

Can't he run if he can't win?

He is stupid!

Qi Haoran summoned Zhou Zhou and said, "Hurry up and interrogate them, find out their lair, and see how many people are left there."

"My lord, this place is close to their lair. Let's go back and talk about it first." They also lost a lot this time. What if the group of pirates were surrounded by more than these people?

Qi Haoran glared at him, and asked, "How sure are you of defeating the pirates at sea?"

Zhou Zhou was silent, Qi Haoran snorted coldly and said: "You are not sure, I don't know how to fight at sea. I was really surrounded by them at sea. We all go to the sea to feed you bastards? If you stay on land, at least I can save your lives. .”

Zhou Zhou was ashamed.

Qi Haoran took Mu Yangling up the mountain to meet Fan Zijin, and before leaving, he told him, "First ask about their lairs, their numbers, and their weapons and equipment."

Zhou Zhou hurriedly responded, arranging for the wounded, and at the same time picked up a pirate for questioning.

Qi Haoran's eyes widened when he saw Fan Zijin with disheveled hair, unshaven beard, and dirty face. He had never seen him in such a mess since he grew up.

Seeing his eyes widen, Fan Zijin asked, "How long do you want to watch?"

Qi Haoran curled his lips, squatted beside him and said, "If this was on the street, I would definitely treat you as a beggar. Come and tell my brother, how did you get to this point?"

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes, kicked him to the side, and asked, "Where are the pirates?"

"More than half of them died, and more than 400 people were captured. Some of them had black hair like us and all ran away. I didn't let anyone chase them."

"Just don't chase after me," Fan Zijin said, "That's the natives here, who were forced to join the army by foreigners. If they escape, they will definitely not go back to the bandits' den. If they go back to their own village, they might even fight with foreigners. .”

Qi Haoran couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked: "There are still many people in those pirates' lairs?"

Fan Zijin shook his head, "I don't know how many people there are, but there must be some." He glanced at the Zhou family in the distance, and said, "The Zhou family has always wanted to go to sea again, so they have never stopped asking about things at sea in the past twenty years. , They heard that this group of foreigners has been here for seven or eight years, which proves that they have been operating here for at least eight years, and it is impossible to have only these people.”

"Then they have surrounded you for so long and can't fight, why don't you ask for help?" After all, robbery is not a war, and a quick battle is the best.

Fan Zijin shook his head, "How do I know? You should ask the pirates."

Qi Haoran asked curiously: "I haven't asked how you came to the bandit den, didn't you say you were going to test the ship? How did you get here? Did you get lost?"

Fan Zijin's face darkened, and he didn't want to talk to Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran shuddered and became even more curious, "How did you get into it? If you don't tell me, I can ask others."

Fan Zijin said angrily, "Are you idle? You haven't dealt with those captives yet. Also, when can we go back?"

Qi Haoran also became distressed, and said: "I have to take care of them when I take them back, how do I know what to do?"

The point is that there is no precedent. Pirates have been caught before, but they were all Han Chinese. They were either distributed, executed, or sent back to their hometowns to serve as good men. But now all the ones caught are foreigners.

Either way is inappropriate.

Fan Zijin sneered and said, "After the trial, they will all be killed."

"No," Qi Haoran said seriously, "Although I despise them for surrendering, since they have surrendered, they cannot be killed."

It's not that Qi Haoran has the idea of ​​treating the captives kindly, but his principle of handling things.

It’s not that Qi Haoran has never captured the enemy before. In the previous war with Jin Kingdom Xixia, the largest number of prisoners reached five thousand. Qi Haoran never killed them. Of course, he had no money or food to support them. Most of them were exchanged with the other side. people, or in exchange for their captives and Chinese slaves.

But do these foreigners have their captives and Chinese slaves?

So it can't be done normally.

Fan Zijin looked at Qi Haoran's distressed look, and still urged him to kill them all, saying: "There are many pirates along the coast of Daqi, take this opportunity to warn them, these foreigners are really hateful, and they don't know what to do. How much blood was shed, and I don’t complain about killing them. Could it be that you still transported them back to the government for sentencing and then dragged them to the vegetable market to behead? That’s not the place where I am dirty.” Fan Zijin said: “I am the magistrate, Anyway, if you want me to judge, they will be sentenced to death."

"That has to be pronounced before killing." Qi Haoran insisted on the principle.

When the two were bickering, the soldiers had already brought food from the boat and buried the pot for cooking. Yan Mo cooked a pot of porridge for Fan Zijin himself. The pot was not far away. As soon as the fragrance wafted out, Fan Zijin's stomach started to growl. .

Qi Haoran looked at his stomach in surprise, shouldn't this kind of thing happen to him?

Fan Zijin also blushed a little, Qi Haoran said caringly: "Say early if you're hungry, Yanmo, hurry up and bring the porridge."

As soon as Fan Zijin picked up the bowl, Zhou Zhou came up to report, "My lord, the pirates said that their lair is not here, but on another island, one day away from here. , but not on a large scale.”

"How many people are there in their lair?"

"There are still 5,000 people, but about 3,000 are local aborigines who were hired by them to work. Only 2,000 people belong to the same country as them. It is said that they are hired, but they are actually slaves who have been robbed. Those natives are very pitiful, rushing to the front and working hard, only half full."

"They didn't go back and inform those people to come to help?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head, "They dare not, they said, because they are one-on-one with the natives, they have been dishonest recently, so every time they dare not bring too many natives out, and they dare not leave too many, if If you adjust it again, you will lose your balance, and they are confident that they can catch Lord Fan and the others, so..."
