C508 Cant torture a captive? (2/2)
”The strength of the France's navy is only second to the British, the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet are the pride of the French navy, the number of battleships and heavy cruisers is already close to two hundred …”
”My dear King, I am not threatening you. I am merely explaining a very cruel reality to you … The Expeditionary forces you all are facing today is just something that the France made up from the continent of India … ”
”Do you think they are elites? ”Wrong, compared to the best local trump cards, they are completely unranked …”
Molière's cheeks were extremely red and swollen, upon a closer look, it was clear that he did have the shadow of a cobra's head, which also bulged out from his cheeks. However, his venomous tongue was still very powerful, and every word that came out of his mouth made Shang Tai unable to refute him.
”Your Majesty, you have won this war, but you have only won in the strategic buffer period. France's pride cannot be trampled upon, sooner or later, French Emperor will send an army ten times stronger for revenge …”
”This is not alarmist talk, nor is it a bluff act. I am just calmly explaining a principle to you …” From now on, from the moment the war ends, you will all have to be even more courteous to me, because my identity represents the France … ”If you want to get more from the negotiating table, you need to be even more polite to me, otherwise …”
”Bajah!” After an explosive shout, three Katana s came out of their sheaths at the same time, and slashed at Molière's neck. The three angry Knife Puller s, Taro Shimadzu, and Xue Ying had made their moves.
This dying Frenchman still dared to speak such arrogant words. Did he really not know how the word death was written? Tens of thousands of ghosts were tied to him, and now he actually dared to threaten someone?
”Tens of thousands of pieces …” The three Japanese samurai s roared in unison as they prepared to attack.
Shang Tai was so frightened that he shouted loudly, ”Stop... ”We can't kill an envoy!”
”Your Majesty! What kind of envoy was he? He's the captive of our Ryukyu, you can't leave such a venomous tongue … ” Although the blades from the three Knife Puller s stopped, they still did not want to give up.
At this time, the imperial doctors led by Cai Mao had also woken Fan Lian, Lin Yuanmiao and the others up. When the weak Wen Chen saw this scene, they were all stunned, ”We can't kill him, we absolutely can't kill him! If Molière is dead, then the negotiations with France will be impossible. At that time, even if French Emperor wants to negotiate, he will not be able to make the decision … ”
Cai Mao was, after all, the current leader of the warriors in the Ryukyu. The Prime Minister had completely forgotten about military discipline? ”Step back …”
Since the general had spoken, Taro Shimadzu and the others did not dare to continue. With a flash of their blades, the Katana returned to its scabbard. However, Xue Ying suddenly licked her lips and laughed strangely: ”Master General, since we can't kill him, then we should at least lock him up, right? Our knife drawing team is willing to bear the heavy responsibility of imprisoning the captives! ”
Shang Tai immediately understood that this was the only thing he could do. If this group of French prisoners were to fall into the hands of the knife drawing team, they would definitely suffer a fate worse than death.
Right now, there were more than a thousand captives from the French Army in Guotou Village. The chaotic battle between the fishermen in Ba Wan was not over yet, and there were probably around two thousand captured from the French Army. Adding the envoy Molière along with the three thousand prisoners, it was no small feat at the negotiating table.
”Three thousand French soldiers …” ”There's another envoy …” Shang Tai immediately hesitated. Molière was able to understand Chinese, he shouted coldly from behind: ”What are you guys trying to do? Do you want to torture the prisoners? I tell you, it's going to be punished... ”
With a crisp slap, Xue Ying slapped him across the face. You bastard, did you ever think of abusing people when you massacred them? Have you ever thought about punishing yourself? ”
”What other rights do the prisoners want? ”In your dreams …” As she spoke, her hand rose again.
”Stop! ”This group of captives definitely cannot be under your watch …” Right at that moment, a dignified voice suddenly sounded out from the horse path. Although it sounded very young, the voice carried an unquestionable aura.
”Who is it!?” Hm? Xiang Ying... ” Xue Ying turned her head to look, and the one who followed the horse path to walk up was the leader of the student soldier, Xiang Ying. He was the one who successfully broke through the encirclement in Guotou Village, and even brought back reinforcements from the Shimadzu Family.
The knife drawing team did not dare to be rude, their respect for Xiang Ying had even surpassed Cai Mao's.
”Mr. Xiang …” What do you mean? ” Taro Shimadzu asked as he bowed slightly.
Xiang Ying was sweating profusely now, the military uniform on his chest and back was drenched in sweat. He held onto the wall and took a few breaths, ”Your Majesty, please hand all the captives over to us student soldier to take care of. New troops, knife drawing team s and other groups are not allowed to take over.
”Why?” The people on the city wall cried out in disbelief.
”Dammit, have you forgotten what happened six years ago? Have you forgotten how the Yuan Ming Yuan was burnt? Oh damn, have you not heard the Prime Minister's analysis of that fire? You all better not make a big mistake! ”
