Chapter 748: Desperate

No wonder...no wonder...

Someone reacted and shouted: "Great joy, great joy... Congratulations to Governor Zhang..."

Zhang Jingyi felt tired.

He didn't want to deal with the subsequent matters.

The man named House was quickly taken away.

Immediately afterwards, it was handed over to the Jinyiwei for disposal.

That night, Wang Wenjun, Housemen and others were tortured and screamed repeatedly.

The next day, confessions were delivered to Zhang Jingyi's desk. Zhang Jingyi looked at it and said, "Is it just that Wang Wenjun received bribes and affair with pirates? These are not enough. If such a traitor and evil person wants to explain, I have to tell you all the bad things he has done since he was wearing open-crotch pants. If he doesn't say it, he still has family, will his family refuse to say it?"

Zhang Jingyi looked almost heartbroken.

So, the confession was sent back and the interrogation continued.

at the same time……

On the coast... one ship after another drifts in the sea, on the ship of the Triumph.

Charles, the commander of the French fleet, was at the end of his life.

This time, the Dutch people joined forces, in addition to inviting the fleets of Spain and Portugal and the Dutch fleet as the main force, they also attracted many countries such as France and England.

England's fleet is not small in size, but at this time, there are still a lack of large warships that can trans-oceanites. The French are traditional army, and the fleet is not large in size.

Therefore, although Charles also led the fleet to fight eastward, the fleet dispatched by the French were only sixty-one warships and more than 5,900 people.

Originally, his plan was to follow the Netherlands to get a share of the pie. After all, the Netherlands had already gained great benefits in the East and had been eyed by the French. Charlie's self-positioning was very accurate. He was not fighting seriously, but planning to get the biggest benefits seriously.

But now... Charlie is in a desperate situation like death.

The power of the Ming fleet still left a huge shadow on him. The steel ships rushed into the joint fleet as if they were entering a no-man's land, and the artillery could not hurt them at all.

The opponent's ships were faster than theirs, and their firepower was even more violent than them. They were also invincible with the steel wrapping. That naval battle was actually destined from the beginning.

But what is really terrible is not just naval battles.

Because death in a naval battle is a matter of moment.

When the giant ship leaves, the beginning of all nightmares.

After the battle, Charlie, like all ships, launched a rescue operation.

After all, there are too many people falling into the water, and there are quite a few of them here that have been sunk.

The man finally came to rescue him, but on the Triumph, there were originally a 350-person organization, but now there are more than 460 people.

A large number of them were injuries, and soon... everyone realized... the supplies on the ship could not be maintained at all.

Originally wandering around here, the food and fresh water they carried were limited, and many ships were sunk, especially the other party was very cruel to catch the supply ship that came with him.

All of a sudden... everyone soon fell into a dilemma of lack of food and fresh water that could not be replenished.

Generally speaking, when encountering this situation, you should hurry to the nearest base, replenish the ship, and send the injured and sick people ashore to treat them.

But... they soon discovered that Ryukyu had completely changed hands. Although there were no Ming troops there, the Ming troops who attacked Ryukyu destroyed all the food, gunpowder, medicine, and all supplies stored there.

When Ryukyu cannot be replenished, then you can only go to the closer port.

And this means that the fleet must cross half of the ocean to reach Luzon.

This will take at least half a month.

And for more than half a month... it is impossible to do it, because the current food and fresh water can only last for five days at most. After five days, the food and fresh water will be exhausted, and it is because of hunger.

Now... Charlie has issued an order to save money, requiring everyone on the boat to have only one meal, and fresh water is strictly restricted, but this... is obviously not a solution to the fundamental problem.

On the contrary, on this ship, many sailors and sailors were already complaining.

Despair has begun to spread in Triumph.

Everyone traveled across the ocean, enduring hunger and devastated, and had endured nearly a year to arrive here.

The reason why everyone is still persisting is because the aristocrats promised to make a fortune in the East.

Countless people who want to change their destiny have arrived here with this hope and gone through hardships and obstacles.

As a result...the dream has now become a bubble, and most people... may still be in a state of hunger.

On ships, the nobles can control the ships by giving people hope, but if they are even lost, then this anger will spread with a daily meal and the control of Tamsui.

Charlie clearly felt that the sailors and sailors had begun to not obey orders.

When you walk through the deck, you can always gain a lot of bad intentions.

And this...is obviously just the beginning.

Adjutant Capes hurriedly arrived at his captain's cabin and then brought him a terrible news.

"General, I heard some whispers."

"Speak."

"There are sailors complaining in the bottom cabin, and there is a guy who seems to be plotting something...it's about...how to hang the officers and seize control of the ship..."

Charlie suddenly felt that the situation was serious.

There are all kinds of gossip on ships, and rebellions on ships often occur.

But this time, Charlie felt that the situation would be much more serious than he thought: "What do they want to do? Can't we overcome the difficulties together at this time?"

"They said they were deceived, and that the food and fresh water on the ship could not hold on to Luzon at all, unless... there were not so many people on the ship..."

"What does it mean not to have so many people?" Charlie stared at Capes.

Capes said in a desperate tone: "There is no such many people to mean...if there were only one hundred and fifty people on this ship."

Charlie took a breath and couldn't help but roar: "This is rebellion, the most shameful betrayal."

"General...I think..."

Charlie said: "We should hang them."
