Cooking a wild turtle in a wok

Bi Ji, the ministers outside the Leopard Room, and hundreds of students from Tai Academy were bustling and noisy. The imperial guards and the imperial guards surrounded the Leopard Room without any storm.

Officials who were still in the capital of the six ministries and nine ministers, three major ministers of the cabinet, as well as several respected old ministers, have entered the Leopard Room. Because they have not been out for a long time, the ministers and the students of the Tai Academy have already begun to get restless.

Yang Ling arrived on a horse, and at first there was a quiet moment. Under the blocking of his personal soldiers, a path was flashed out. Yang Ling and Liu Yu walked together, and behind him were a group of guards.

After the crowd was a little quiet, someone suddenly shouted: "The Japanese are cruel, and they will kill people in the street. If the murderer is not punished, the heaven and earth will kill him."

The crowd became turbulent again when Yang Ling looked coldly and saw that the students in Tai red faces and were excited. Although the other officials were angry and shouted very loudly, their eyes were calm, and they were not moved by indignation like the students in Tai who did not care about the world. He was already a little clear in his heart.

After all, it is difficult for a civilian to die in this era to really touch these high-ranking adults. Although there are also officials who are truly out of anger, more officials who come to make trouble have other intentions.

If the Japanese envoys are not killed, there are old rules to follow, and they are old rules of the previous emperors of each dynasty. They can't control themselves. Whoever dares to come forward to impeach the previous emperors is impeaching the previous emperors. This is just like Yang Shousui's ancestral system during the discussion of the great court, which is a powerful tool to protect himself.

However, through this incident, it can put great moral pressure on oneself, mobilizing the scholars and people in the capital, which is enough to make oneself the target of criticism by thousands of people and everyone scolds them, and all the good reputations they have made in the past are gone.

A former celebrity with a strong hand with such a bad reputation can achieve great convenience in the confrontation.

If they are forced to kill the Japanese envoys under pressure, they will destroy their own initiative to open the sea and lift the national ban, thereby indirectly winning.

They had a good plan, and they were not stupid to have clear goals and methods, because the Japanese have become more and more arrogant since the six tributes in the Yongle era and are no longer willing to regard themselves as subordinates of the Ming Dynasty. Their visits to pay tribute this time were beyond their expectations.

If the Japanese Kingdom was still weak, the Ming court would forgive them and cause trouble and indiscriminately injured people's lives, but now they will do their mission. Can the tribute continue?

A cold smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips: their abacus was not wrong. No matter how they made a choice, it seemed that this Japanese murder would cause great losses to him, either in terms of political reputation or in terms of political future.

It’s a pity that they only know their own friends. They don’t know the enemy. The Emperor of Japan passed away and could not even get the burial fee. The names of the various places were like the emperors in the late Han Dynasty. They regarded the emperor as Emperor Xian of Han. They obeyed their own ambitions and even made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings. The names of the various places were short of military and people during the war. Do they know these situations?

Do I need to make choices? No! Now, this nation, who is bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and seeking profit, makes choices about my decisions. Either, you need dignity! Or, you need interests! How will they make a decision? Yang Ling immediately raised his head high.

The door of the leopard room slowly opened, and the guards in the Jinyi bowed to Yang Ling. The personal troops stopped at the door. Yang Ling rode a horse in, but Liu Yu jumped off the horse and followed in quickly. Yang Ling, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin and other few people enjoyed the privilege of running horses in the palace. In the leopard room, Liu Yu did not have this treatment.

In a very wide room in the leopard house, Zhengde sat in the middle, and the ministers in front of him took advantage of their own reasons. Those who wanted to crack down on the opening-up policy tried their best to punish the murderer and surrendered to Liu Jin, while those who were Yang Ling moved out to refute it.

The most wonderful thing is that the Hanlin Academy, the imperial envoys who had originally hated Yang Ling, and the seniors of the Taiwan-level envoys also advocated forgiveness and reported this matter to all the vassal states to show the lenient and benevolent heart of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom.

They did not have selfish intentions at all, but the thoughts of the country of etiquette and the country of etiquette were deeply rooted in the bones. The deep sense of superiority made them feel that repaying grievances with virtue and not being as knowledgeable as the barbarians of the world was the mind of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they actually put down their personal grievances with Yang Ling and tried their best to persuade them to be kind.

Gu Dayong has always hoped that the sea ban would be opened early and that he could go to the coast to call for wind and rain. If he could lead a huge fleet of Celestial Celestial Chronicles like Zheng and Eunuch Zheng, he would not only benefit himself but also get what he wished, but even though he had no descendants, he could be famous for his eternity. How happy would that be?

Seeing the ministers talking a lot, Gu Dayong was anxious, fearing that the Emperor Zhengde, who had always been unique, would really kill him if he did not follow the ancestor's rules. But he had no official position now, and he could not even interfere with the ministers' discussions. He was impatient when he suddenly saw Yang Ling coming. With Yang Ling's status at this moment, he could only control the emperor's intentions. Now he was finally safe.

Gu Dayong hurriedly sang loudly: "Majesty of Weiwu, see Yang Lingjin, General of the Zhu Kingdom!"

As the ministers were ashamed, Yang Ling hurriedly walked into Yili to pay homage to Zhengde, and then asked, "Emperor, I heard that the Japanese envoy was committing murder in the streets of the downtown city, and the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities surrounded the Four Barbarians. Now the government and the public are in anger, so they came to see the emperor in a hurry. I wonder if you have ever discussed the result?"

Zhengde said helplessly: "What you all have a reason for your concerns, so I am in a panic. Yang Qing came just right, so I can help me with an idea. The Japanese envoy was rude and barbaric, and actually killed people in the street. As the saying goes, killing people should be punished heavily, but..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Following the old rules of the previous dynasty, I have always been kind to the tribute envoys, and I have never been able to set up precedents in the land of envoys. When the emperor was in the early dynasty, the Japanese envoys killed people in Jining and were also relieved. If the envoys were punished, they may be disheartened and criticized for their narrow spirit."

Zhang Cai, the Minister of Personnel, was from Liu Jin's lineage. When Yang Ling came, he couldn't help but feel excited and said, "The emperor, the sage said, 'The nature of the people is good and good, but he failed to be good, so he established a king for him to be kind to him. This is the will of heaven."

The emperor is the lord of the four seas. The barbarians are also eager for heavenly faces and have a heart for goodness. The emperor is wise and virtuous. If he is kind and governs the world and cooperates with the four barbarians, then the world will be grateful and kind, and naturally influences stubborn evil."

The old minister Yang Shousui was loyal. Although Yang Ling's proposal was Yang Ling's opinion, he still did not want to kill him. He secretly laughed at the Heavenly Kingdom and said, "

The sound teachings are outside the eight desolates, and the flow of benevolence and kindness is on the surface of the nine circumferences. The politeness of the four barbarians, and the above national morality is the national policy of our heavenly dynasty. In the past, all the ancestors uphold the etiquette of benevolence and kindness to show the court's intention of forgiveness and gentleness. I hope the emperor thinks twice."

Li Dongyang opposed: "Emperor, what Lord Yang said is reasonable, but the Japanese people face and behave in beasts. The strong will lead to robbery. The weak will lead to lowliness and ignore their kindness. Judging from the ancients, it is their nature.

Since their Zigong tribute, few people did not cause trouble, which shows that education and grace were not enough to be grateful for it. Virtue was to soften China, and punishment was to threaten the four barbarians. My ministers thought that even if they did not kill, they should be punished."

When Li Dongyang suggested punishing the murderer, he was too embarrassed to mention the word "kill". When Yang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: Being generous to the barbarians, fraternity is indeed a tradition in China.

Don’t say that the Japanese harmed us at this time, and even if the Japanese became the national hatred of Chinese people in later generations, they would be punished by those executioners whose hands were covered in blood. We are not still raising them in a rich manner, hoping to influence these beasts with great "benevolence" beyond human nature?

However, what is the result with good intentions? Most of them still hate our clan extremely and their cruel and aggressive desires remain undiminished.

When Yang Ling thought of this, he took a step forward, bowed a long time, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am prone to speak out. I think Lord Zhang and what Lord Yang said are very wrong. What Mr. Yang said is also inappropriate."

"Huh?" Yang Ling waved his big stick, "give up" and "severely punished" the two factions to beat the fifty-year-old. What do he have to have? The ministers immediately raised their ears and wanted to hear him explain clearly.

Yang Ling said with a sigh: "The Japanese are like virgins when they are gentle, and like wild animals when they are cruel. All kinds of manifestations are just worshipping power and bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."

His loud words kept echoing in the quiet hall: "If you want to influence and make him know his kindness, it is like playing the zither of a cow, and often makes him arrogant because of his favor. Not only do he not know the good intentions of our Celestial Empire, but he regards friendship with the Celestial Empire as a means, and becomes more serious and has no scruples. Once he causes trouble, he will use good neighborly and friendship as a bargaining chip to bargain.

Therefore..., I think: It is better to punish him with power than to influence Huai Ren!"

Yang Shousui couldn't help but said: "Sir, follow the ancestral system..."

Yang Ling continued: "This is not contrary to the ancestral system. It should be noted that the two countries are about to open their own markets, which is different from the situation of simply tribute land in the past. In the future, frequent civil exchanges will inevitably lead to trouble, and the people of our Celestial Empire are greedy for profit and fraud. The protection of criminal laws is imminent.

At this time, whether it is my minister of the Celestial Empire or a minister who comes to entrust the tribute, we should set an example for future civil exchanges. Otherwise, the superiors and the inferiors will be effective in the future. Therefore, I think not only should I punish them, but also severely punish them with heavy laws to serve as a warning to others!”

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and said with a stern voice: "I ask the emperor to issue an order to immediately arrest the murderer and hand it over to the Three Laws to clearly define the justice and punish the Celestial Empire. The Celestial Empire demonstrated its benevolence, but it could not fall into the power of the Celestial Empire."

"Your Majesty, a kind mother often defeats her son, and a filial son will be born! For a child who is irrational, he should let him know that the flesh hurts so that he will be obedient in the future!"

Jiao Fang was very sly. When she saw Yang Ling appear, she knew that her words were not used for the time being, and she only followed the leader of the generals. So she had never made a clear attitude. After hearing Yang Ling's words, she immediately went out and said, "I'm going to discuss it!"

Liu Yu and others also agreed, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe looked at each other and nodded.

Emperor Zhengde looked around and Zhan Mei smiled and said, "Okay! Just do it like that. The Military and Ma Si immediately arrested the murderer and handed it over to the Third Department for trial. He would put that turtle on the Caishikou Mingzhengdian punishment!"

In the afternoon, the five cities military commanders received the imperial edict and rushed into the Siyi Pavilion to capture the murderer Shiro Kawano, regardless of the protests and obstructions of Yoshiyuki Ouchi and others.

Yoshio Ouchi and Sumiyasu Hosokawa were furious and sat upright waiting for Wang Hua and Yang Ling to explain. Unexpectedly, they sat for an afternoon, and even a ritual official sent him.

It was not until the second day that they heard that Yang Ling and Wang Hua had entered the Siyi Pavilion. The two hurried to Huibin Tower. After waiting for a while, no one came in. They were puzzled and sent a confidant warrior to visit him. However, they said that Wang Hua, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and General Yang Ling, were meeting with the North Korean envoy Park Enhee in another hall.

The two of them were full of suspicion and had lost their lust after drinking tea. Only then did they see Yang Ling and Wang Hua smiling, they walked in with a stern look. The two of them welcomed them into the hall with an unhappy expression.

After the guest and the host were separated, Ouchi was brave and strong in suppressing his anger, bowed and said, "The two lords, the two lords, the general of Kawano, who was in the lower house, were drunk, and had a conflict with the people of the Ming Dynasty because of their inconsistency, and they killed people by mistake. I was really frightened and apologized to the two lords."

Yang Ling smiled and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Danei asked me to get up quickly. The laws of the Ming Dynasty are strict. If you have any guilt, you will be punished. If you have no guilt, you will not be punished. If you have no strict control, you should apologize to the king of your country as a mission. We are inconvenient to argue."

Yang Ling glanced at him and saw the different expressions of the two, and was secretly calculating in his heart.

Yoshiyuki Ouchi's face was filled with joy and sighed politely: "The Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom is indeed lenient and kind. I am convinced. Kono has been captured by the Five City Military Commanders. Will the Lord hand him over to the next step as usual?

Of course, in order to give an explanation to the Emperor and the people of the Ming Dynasty, the envoy should immediately punish him according to the Japanese law. However, when the Ming Dynasty enforced the Japanese law, it would be disrespectful to the Emperor. The envoy would take him back to his country and apologize to the king. After he was punished strictly according to the law."

Yang Ling said in surprise: "Your family and generals stepped on the land of the Ming Dynasty, killed the people of the Ming Dynasty, and violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they should be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty and brought them back to the Japanese Kingdom to punish. What is this?"

Sumiya Hosokawa's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but look at Yoshiyuki Ouchi. Yoshiyuki Ouchi's face changed slightly. He smiled and said, "So... how should I punish you?"

Yang Ling said lightly: "I am not a criminal official. I am not very clear about this, but killing people to pay for my life. The world is the same, I think it is probably the case."

Ouchi was furious and said with a resolute voice: "Mr. Yang, Kawano Kasushiro is a general of my family. He is a samurai. Killing civilians is not worthy of life."

Wang Hua stroking his hands and said, "Grandpa Cadet, don't be impatient. Lord Yang has said just now that since he committed the crime in our Ming Dynasty, he will naturally be sentenced according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The country of Middle-earth has always been a prince who violated the law and is guilty of the common people. Do the warriors of your country enjoy privileges in our Ming Dynasty?"

He smiled and said, "Yesterday, Mr. Ouchi mentioned that the merchants of your country were not protected by the Ming Dynasty's laws in the past. Our move was to show the two envoys that we were determined to open the maritime ban and trade: no matter who our country is in equal measure.

Those who come from your country will be protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and will also be bound by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Today, Kawano Kasumi Shiro was punished and ruled. I believe that people who dare to violate the law in the future will be restrained, which will be of great benefit to our future cooperation."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor is kind. He originally wanted to deal with the noble servant who committed the crime, and then castrate him and then impose him as a slave for life. However, I believe that Mr. Ouchi is unwilling to shelter the murderer and accept the favors of my emperor outside the law, so I think our emperor suggests severe punishment."

He was castrated as a head prisoner, and he was also sent to Mado as a slave?...Where is that place? I have never heard of it? Should I reclaim the land or sheep? This is the kindness of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty outside the law? The righteous man in the inner world felt depressed and bitter in his mouth.

A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. If he ends up like this, the entire Japanese Kingdom will be shamed. It would be better to let him die. The righteous man from the inner court never expected that the Ming court would be so powerful now.

He gritted his teeth and threatened in a deep voice: "My King Yongzheng of our dynasty is willing to have a good relationship with the Ming Mushan, but now the discussion is not decided, so he will kill our envoy first. I am afraid that your highness will not be happy. If so, the envoy will need to wait for further news in the country regarding the tribute and cooperation issues."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "It's so good. I'm really too busy to deal with the countries at the same time. If the envoy needs to wait for a while, I happen to discuss matters with the countries of Korea, Ryukyu, Luzon, and Annan. Mr. Ouchi doesn't have to worry, just slowly ask for the opinions of the king of your country."

After hearing this, Sumiya Hosokawa felt aroused and asked hurriedly: "This... I'll ask, are the above countries also coming to the land because of the lifting of the ban on the sea and opening up the sea and communicating with each other?"

Wang Hua smiled and said, "That is, when all countries heard the news, they were happy and happy. The current envoys in the capital are understanding the specific strategies of our dynasty opening and opening the sea and trading areas.

Yesterday... The envoy of the King of Ryukyu entered the letter. Because the country of Ryukyu was small and difficult to ensure the safety of sea transportation, it was so difficult for the Celestial Empire to send troops to the Ryukyu sea transportation port to assist in the sea transportation trade with the Ming Dynasty. Haha, they were already unable to withstand the invasion of pirates. They repeatedly expressed their hope that the Celestial Empire would send troops to the Celestial Empire. Now there is only another reason.”

Yang Ling also said: "I just asked the North Korean envoy to see you, and I hope that our country will send more troops to jointly calm the Qinghai border to avoid affecting this great business opportunity."

Yoshio Ouchi and Sumiya Hosokawa were shocked when they heard the news. They didn't know that the Ming Dynasty's plan to open the sea was decided in the past two days. The countries had not had time to react, and they just thought in their hearts: The Ming Navy has the ability to go on an expedition now. Is it even sent troops overseas? Seeing their firm appearance, if the Ming Navy really has the ability to enter Ryukyu and North Korea, then Japan will definitely lose all its advantages.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty still needed to cooperate with the Japanese countries? These two countries were close at hand, and I was afraid that it would take a long time. The Ming Dynasty trained a powerful navy, one in the south and one in the north, and pinned Japan to the central government. Not only would it not be able to get the benefits of maritime transportation and trade, but it would also be subject to others. Every move must be done by the Ming Dynasty.

Yoshiyuki Ouchi's face froze, and Hosokawa Azusa hurriedly said, "When we were on the mission, His Highness Nagata had strictly entrusted us to abide by the laws of the Celestial Empire. We must not act recklessly and disrupt the laws. As long as the Ming Dynasty can handle the case fairly, I think your Highness will not have any objection after hearing about the local affairs of Kamen Shiro Kono."

Yang Ling smiled slightly after hearing this. He had long expected that the matter was unrelated to the matter, Sumiya Hosokawa would never lose the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the power of a family. Even the Yoshinoyanaki, now he is trying to be tough in guessing the court's intentions. I think he was arguing with the ministers yesterday, and some people agreed to forgive me and heard some rumors.

However, there is a strong interest in opening the sea to trade. There is also the news I deliberately revealed to him just now. As long as Yoshiyuki Ouchi is not a stupid warrior, he will make a wise choice. Sure enough, Yoshiyuki Ouchi just weighed the pros and constrainedly said: "Since that's the case, there is still a heartless request, hoping to be approved."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Please tell me that as long as I am able to do everything, everything will be allowed."

Yoshiyuki Ouchi said: "Since you want to punish Kono and pay your life with your life, can you ask the Lord to hand him over? This envoy will ask him to apologize and personally execute the mistake."

Yang Ling didn't think about it and immediately shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the Ming Dynasty did not use the rules of lynching. Ming Zhengdian punishment is to serve as a warning, and committing suicide is meaningless in fear of crime."

He looked at Sumiya Hosokawa and said, "Mr. Ouchi, although he is at ease, he will ask two people to come to the Triple Department to personally listen to the trial to inspect the justice. Today, we are here to further discuss the establishment of a naval army, coordinated the pirates, military cooperation between the two naval divisions, mooring ports, and raising docks. As for Kono, he is just a death row prisoner waiting to die. What should I care about?"

When Hosokawa Sumiya heard this, he immediately focused on it and said first: "About this matter, our Hosokawa family's local authorities minister repeatedly entrusted him when he came, and was very willing to cooperate with the Ming Navy to clear away the thieves from north to south.

As far as we know, in addition to some of the desperate people who gathered on the islands of the Ming Dynasty and Dongying Xiao, there are still pirates from far away from the West who often invade the seas. Their current forces are still in the southwest corner, so I believe they dare not attack the Ming Dynasty directly.

However, the most important thing about the thieves is wealth. The so-called desire is hard to fill. These thieves from afar are becoming more and more frequent. The forces are gradually increasing, and they are gradually sweeping away the bandits, and these people are also among the thieves. Our Hosokawa family is willing to work together with the Ming Navy. Please consider it more."

When Yoshiyuki Ouchi saw Siyu Kano Kamishiro's incident, he gave Hosokawa a chance. He was secretly anxious and hurriedly said: "The Ouchi family originally had a naval division. In order to ensure the tribute trade fleet, they have escorted many times to fight pirates and were very familiar with naval warfare. If the Ming Dynasty is willing to cooperate with us, we are willing to fully cooperate with the Ming Navy in naval warfare technology, navigation technology, and ordnance equipment."

Yang Ling was puzzled: Could it be that the Spanish pirates have appeared in the South China Sea now? I didn’t pay attention to this information before. This clue is very important. It seems that I have to pay attention to the internal factory when I go back.

He and Wang Hua looked at each other tacitly, leaned forward, and began to discuss cooperation with them on the navy.

The Japanese tribute envoy, Yoshiyoshi, was tried in the murder case of Kono-Kuchishiro's murder in the street at the Sanshi of Dali Temple. Japan's special envoy, Yoshiyoshiyoshi Hosokawa Sumiya, came to court to participate.

Because the criminal was involved in a foreign envoy and the case was serious, the case was interrogated in the Three Courts. He was detained in the East Factory, where Dai Yi was in charge of the presidency. Kamen Shiro Kame was suffering a lot, but he couldn't tell what torture he had suffered during the interrogation.

Kawano Kawashiro killed people in the street, and there were many witnesses, so there was no need to investigate too much. The Three Juris Department hurriedly reviewed and submitted a report to the emperor. Ouchi Yoshiyoshi, Hosokawa Sumiyaki, saw that Kawano Kawashiro could no longer be saved, so he had to apologize and hypocritically requested severe punishment for the murderer to comfort the deceased to clarify the law.

Emperor Zhengde received the approval and immediately issued an order to accept the opinions of the two special envoys. He punished the evil and cooked the murderer in a pot. He also ordered the two envoys to report to the King of Japan, and sent envoys to save people in the future and did not make them barbaric.

The second incommen were stunned. Originally, they were just doing official articles as usual. Since Japan's special envoys have paid tribute many times, many of them have chaotic laws. They have to submit apology according to the rules. The emperor also forgives them as usual. He can only forgive his sins and never commits them. Today, the little emperor's behavior has really opened their eyes. The two Japanese envoys are really mute and eat yellow lotus, and they can't say anything about their suffering.

The prison officers of the Tokchang and the Ministry of Justice took Kano Kasushiro to the Caishikou. Yoshio Ouchi, Sumiya Hosokawa, all Japanese envoys, Park Eun-hee who was waiting for domestic news, and Annan Special Envoy Ruan Dae-woo, who had been idle, were also invited to watch the execution.

The Japanese murders had spread throughout the capital, and the people were extremely angry. Emperor Zhengde's will came to an end, and the people cheered.

There were many tortures in the Ming Dynasty, including beheading, peeling, rinsing, and lighting sky lanterns. However, in addition to dealing with cult bandits, most of them were beheaded. As for the punishment of cooking in a pot, the punishment of cooking in a pot has never been used since Emperor Yongle seized the throne and cooking in an oil. Today, Emperor Zhengde issued an order to impose the punishment of cooking in a pot, and it was also cooking in water. The people in the capital relieved their hatred, and the two were novel. Caishikou was already crowded with people, and there were thousands of people who could not be poured into it.

The temporary execution tent was built at the entrance of Caishi. The three-foot-high platform of loess was built in front. The subway made of thick bowls was built with a large iron flask in the center. The iron flask was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, four feet in diameter and more than two feet deep. It was filled with clear water and oil-soaked firewood piled up at the bottom. The executioner said loudly that the case was cancelled, and then launched the imperial edict to read out the decree of Emperor Zhengde.

Thousands of people knelt down at the same time, and envoys from various countries also knelt down and listened to the order. The official prosecutors announced the order to dismiss the imperial edict. They took out half-red and half-black fire signs from the sign box, threw them forward fiercely, shouting: "Come on, bring the prisoner, execute the execution immediately!"

Kawano Kaguno's kaleans are tied with a tight hemp rope, and they are tied up with their shoulders and two arms. They are tied up with their hands and feet like horse hooves, and are tied up on a donkey cart. Four big men in red clothes and bare belly and red silk cover their heads are holding the four corners of hemp ropes, lifting him onto the platform and throwing him into the iron bar.

Kawano Turtle Shiro was so scared that his heart was broken, but his mouth was stuffed with a cork wrapped in cloth, and his limbs were tied up in a twisted flower. He couldn't shout or move. In order to avoid water pouring into his nose, he had to stretch his neck and hold his head up hard, staring with fear, begging for mercy, and regretful eyes sink or float in the water.

The torch was thrown, the fire ignited, the water temperature gradually heated, and the torture gradually reached the bone. Compared to being thrown into the boiling oil pan, a stream of blue smoke rose, and the scorched skin and flesh were burned and killed in an instant, which made the tribute soldiers tremble and their faces changed.

They have long heard of the torture in the Ming Dynasty and have talked about it with relish, but this torture has always been used only on the Ming Dynasty's own people. This is the first time that an external envoy has tasted it.

These made them usually arrogant and domineering, and acted the most unscrupulously, and did not take the lives of others seriously. However, when they saw their companions being subjected to such torture, when they heard Kawano Turtle Shiro not listening to the words, and screaming from their throats and noses, they suddenly felt a sincere awe from the bottom of their hearts for the land they stepped on and the people living on it.
Chapter completed!
