In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and conspiracies have lost their meaning...

Zhu Qizhen heard it almost and asked, "Are you guilty if you say so?"

"Know the guilt!"

Zhang Jin lowered his head and answered honestly: "The sinners first acquainted with the Romans in the East, and then... they were enemies of the emperor, and they were trapped in a chariot with their own strength, overestimated their abilities..."

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Since you are honest and honest, I can't bear to kill you anymore. Let's do this, give me a reason not to kill you!"

Zhang Jin's body shook and he looked up and said, "Your Majesty's words... are serious?"

Li Zhen stood beside him and shouted, "Bold, the emperor's words are so good, how can he have a joke?"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I only give you one chance. If the reasons are sufficient, you can save your life."

Zhang Jin's eyes turned sharply, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said, "The sinner... knows some clues, which may be helpful to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Tell me, are these clues enough to exchange your life!"

Zhang Jin nodded repeatedly and said, "Emperor, the Eastern Roman Prussia first came to the Ming Dynasty. Starting from Qiongzhou Guard, many levels were opened, which involved a large amount of gold and silver transactions, which were shameful!"

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and said, "Speak!"

"yes!"

When Zhang Jin saw that the emperor was interested, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart.

"In fact, a year ago, along the coast of Fujian, some merchants began to take their families and bring a lot of gold and silver to the sea. Because many of their businesses were smuggled, if they were found by the court, they would confiscate all their wealth. Therefore, the property was transferred in advance to facilitate the escape."

"Does the people you mentioned have something to do with Qiongzhouwei's rebellion?"

"related!"

Zhang Jin hurriedly replied: "Most of those merchants colluded with the Eastern Romans. With the protection of Qiongzhou Guards, they could smuggle goods unscrupulously. The criminals asked the ruthlessly, how many such people did the emperor find when he was raiding his house in Qiongzhou?"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "There are some, but... it's not as exaggerated as you said. There are roughly a dozen, and the gold and silver involved... I can't remember it, it must be more than one million taels."

"No, they must have run away!"

Zhang Jin shook his head vigorously and said, "The merchants involved in smuggling are not one hundred or eighty. How could it be that there are only a dozen? Also, their business starts at hundreds of thousands of taels. If all the merchants are added together, there will be at least tens of millions of taels!"

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said angrily: "Didn't it mean that tens of millions of taels of silver have been lost from the Ming Dynasty to overseas?"

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister... knows where these people are!"

Zhang Jin crawled on the ground. At this moment, he suddenly saw hope of living.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said lightly: "If what you said is true, as long as I can recover the money, you can avoid death!"

"The sinner... thank the holy grace!"

Zhang Jin was so excited that he almost cried. It was so difficult to kill the nine clans.

"Your Majesty, I have something to explain!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Say!"

"The criminals also know the fortifications and deployment of troops of the Eastern Romans!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen hesitated a little.

If it is true, the next battle will be very smooth.

But what if it is fake?

This is a war, not a joke.

If you capture smuggling merchants, you can catch them best, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t catch them. At most, you will spend some manpower and material resources and there will be no losses.

But, fighting is different.

A mistake in decision making will kill many people.

It can even affect the trend of the entire battle situation.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's hesitation, Zhang Jin knew it clearly and said, "The emperor sent a divine weapon to expedition the barbarians. The sinners are willing to be the vanguard and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! If they die in the border area, they will be buried in horses and bury them!"

Zhang Jin is also trying hard. If you don’t believe me, then I will go to the front line and die the first one. This is OK!

Zhu Qizhen thought in his heart that he didn't look like he was acting.

Although the ironclad ship is invincible, it is limited to water and cannot run on the ground in a boat.

After landing in and fighting, the biggest problem is that the terrain is unfamiliarity.

If there were indeed maps of the Eastern Romans' military deployment, the battle would be easier.

If that's the case, why not give him a chance?
