Chapter 300 Death Agent
At night, Wang Wenzhou would give lessons to the death row inmates, partly to brainwash them and partly to impart some knowledge. Although Wang Wenzhou wanted them to become human bombs, he also wanted to train them to be special agents capable of carrying out special missions. Of course, whether they could actually become agents depended on their own fate.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "I know you all want to ask me what you've been doing all this time. I'll give you the answer today."
Wang Wenzhou remained silent for a while. The room was so quiet that everyone could hear their own breathing. These past few days, the death row inmates had learned that if Lord Wang didn't ask questions, no one dared to speak in any orderly fashion, or death would be their fate.
Wang Wenzhou continued, “Death is the fairest thing for mankind, because no matter what status a person has, whether they are extremely wealthy or a king or general, they will eventually die. Many people complain about their background. If my father were a nobleman or a high-ranking official, my life would definitely be very different.”
The death row inmates nodded repeatedly. Compared to ordinary people, these death row inmates who had committed capital crimes were more likely to complain about their backgrounds. They felt that if they had been born into a good family, they would not have committed capital crimes.
Wang Wenzhou continued, “Death is inevitable for everyone, but its significance can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. I will give you a chance to die for the Ming Dynasty. After your sacrifice, you will no longer be criminals who have committed heinous acts, but heroes revered by the people of the Ming Dynasty.”
Wang Wenzhou has been saying this to the death row inmates frequently these days, but they still don't understand what Lord Wang wants them to do.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "After the training is over, you will be sent to Liaodong to carry out some special missions. For example, assassinating Han traitors who surrendered to the Tartars, and slaughtering Tartar officials and merchants. Because these missions are very dangerous as they are deep behind enemy lines, that's why I asked His Majesty to train you, who are about to die. Of course, if any of you are lucky enough to survive after all the missions are completed, I will give you a new identity and let you start anew."
"Wow..." Everyone exclaimed immediately. They all thought they were going to die, but they didn't expect to have a chance to survive.
"Quiet!" Wang Wenzhou continued, "Because time is tight, with less than a month, you will learn a lot during this time, such as assassination, intelligence gathering and transmission, and so on. Today, a teacher will be there to teach you Manchu."
Everyone looked puzzled. Lord Wang sent us to Liaodong to kill the Tartars, so why are we being asked to learn the Tartar language?
Wang Wenzhou explained, “In Liaodong, the Tartars are the masters. They call us Han people ‘baoyi’! Baoyi means slave. How can the great Ming Dynasty bear to have its fine men become slaves to the Tartars? So learning some common Tartar terms will help you conceal your identities. After all, the Tartar population is small, and even in Liaodong, the Han people are the majority.”
Wang Wenzhou waved, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked over.
Wang Wenzhou introduced, "This is your language teacher, Yu Jian'an. You must study hard. Okay, Mr. Yu, this is in your hands now."
Yu Jian'an nodded and began teaching the prisoners Manchu.
Wang Wenzhou led the babies out of the men's classroom and toward the women's classroom.
The female prisoners were also studying, but they were all completely naked while studying. Their teacher was a girl that Wang Wenzhou had hired from a brothel.
When Wang Wen entered the room on Monday, the female prisoners immediately felt somewhat awkward.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Babies, don't be shy. A woman's body is her most effective weapon. A smart woman, as long as she makes good use of her body, can make a man do anything for her, even die for her."
Wang Ying frowned and glared at Wang Wenzhou. That madman Wang Wenzhou's thoughts were truly wicked.
Wang Wenzhou walked towards the female prisoners, touching this one a few times, then that one a few times, and said, "Hmm, not bad! This one feels great!"
Gao Guilan immediately became unhappy and quickly grabbed Wang Wenzhou, saying irritably, "Uncle, what are you trying to do now?"
Wang Wenzhou smiled awkwardly. Damn, this is simply heaven! But there were already too many babies around him, and he was really too embarrassed to take on any more beautiful girls.
Wang Wenzhou began, "I'm checking their academic performance over this period. After all, they're going to carry out a special mission, and the first thing they need to do is get rid of their sense of shame. Humiliation is something that normal people are born with, and to get rid of it, they have to go through various stress tests. What I just did was a stress test."
"Hmph!" Wang Ying sneered, "You just want to take advantage of the girls."
"Alright, you can continue. After this lesson, members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard will come to teach you assassination techniques. You must study hard then. This knowledge will determine whether you can successfully complete your mission and escape unscathed." After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he led the babies away.
It wasn't that Wang Wenzhou didn't want to see those long, white legs; the key was that he had feelings for them, but the girls wouldn't let him do anything inappropriate, so he had no choice but to leave.
The prisoners' training schedule was packed, and because time was too short, Wang Wenzhou planned to send them to Liaodong for a mission next month. The officials' agreement to the peace talks was, in fact, a result of Wang Wenzhou's coercion. If things weren't implemented quickly, Wang Wenzhou feared the officials would cause further trouble and prevent the peace negotiations from proceeding smoothly.
During this month, Wang Wenzhou trained his elite soldiers on one hand, and on the other hand, planned some things he wanted to do after arriving in Liaodong.
For example, the first name on the assassination list was Fan Wencheng, the number one traitor to the Qing Dynasty. Fan Wencheng was the civil official (traitor) who provided the most assistance to the Qing Dynasty in its early period. If he had died, the Qing Dynasty might not have been able to conquer the country so easily.
Just as Wang Wenzhou was planning to cause trouble in Liaodong, there was another person in Liaodong who kept thinking about Wang Wenzhou. This person was Lin Qing.
Gold shines wherever it is. At this time, Lin Qing had only been under the control of the Tartars for less than a year, and had already become a Zuo Ling (military officer) of the Han Eight Banners.
The term "Han Eight Banners" doesn't exist yet because the Han Eight Banners currently only comprises one banner of men. A Zuo Ling, also known as a Niu Lu Zhang Jing, commands three hundred able-bodied men. Of course, this is far fewer than when Lin Qing served under the rebel leader. However, his current forces are all elite troops, capable of completely overwhelming an equal number of Ming Dynasty soldiers.
Although the rank of Zuo Ling (佐领) wasn't high, the power was considerable. In wartime, they led troops; in peacetime, they served as administrative officials, managing the households, land, military registers, and litigation within their jurisdiction. In short, Lin Qing had the power of life and death over his subordinates.
Because Lin Qing was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and had experience leading troops in battle, he was highly favored by Huang Taiji after surrendering to the Manchus. Lin Qing's current base is Shengjing, the capital of the Later Jin. Lin Qing has been diligently training his men, hoping that one day he will lead his troops back to the Ming Dynasty to avenge himself against Wang Wenzhou!
