Chapter 4 Jiang Maocai, mighty (thanks to the leader of "正版风随行" for the reward) More than thirty Japanese pirates were wreaking havoc in the village. "Help!" A woman holding a child ran away in panic amid the fireworks. Two Japanese pirates with half-moon haircuts chased after them, howling. "stop!" It is not surprising that the Japanese pirates speak the Ming dialect... At this moment, many of the Japanese pirates along the coastal areas are from the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirate leader, Fujisaburo, watched all this with a smile. Two Japanese pirates came running over and reported: "A few Ming soldiers were spying on us earlier." "Where?" A gloomy look flashed in Fujisai Saburo's eyes.
This is the heartland of the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by garrisons. Although he has confidence in his subordinates, many ants can kill an elephant! "After they spotted us, they ran towards the official road." The two pirates smiled and didn't take it seriously. They had encountered soldiers along the way, but they ran away when they saw them. During the invasion war hundreds of years later, the officers and soldiers behaved in the same way, running away when they saw a small group of Japanese pirates. "Ran?" Fujisaburo squinted his eyes and looked towards the official road in the distance. He volunteered to go ashore for the plunder this time. If he fails to achieve outstanding results, it will be difficult for him to get promoted. Thinking of the treatment after taking office and the increase in the number of people under his command, Fujisai Saburo was excited. He threw those worries behind his head and turned around and shouted: "Assemble!" Several Japanese pirates were reluctant to leave the woman behind, and Fujisai Saburo became furious and killed one of them with his sword, and only then was the group able to gather successfully. "There are soldiers on the road." Fujisai Saburo encouraged his men, "Defeat them, and we'll get women, money... whatever you want." There was more wildness and greed in each pair of eyes. "Attack!" The reason why Fujisai Saburo was able to lead a team deep into the interior on his own was not because of his connections, but because of his ability. He was one of the few warriors among the Japanese pirates who understood the art of war. If he had not had an ordinary relationship with the leader Aoki Ichizan, he would have been promoted long ago without anyone above him. So he ordered his men not to slack off and to rush forward. The Ming officers and soldiers were timid, and if he moved slowly, it would likely boost the enemy's morale. They rushed forward quickly, not giving their opponents a chance to hesitate, and relying on the Japanese pirates' vicious reputation, they were able to win without fighting. "kill!" Fujisaburo expected that there should be hundreds of Ming soldiers, but when he saw two young men standing alone on the official road...
"Nani?" Jiang Qingzhi spread his legs slightly to shoulder width and held a long sword in both hands...which he borrowed from a soldier. Dozens of Japanese pirates stopped and gathered, wearing half-moon hair, single clothes, and only loincloths on the lower body, almost naked. They held spears, bows and arrows, and Japanese swords. Everything in front of him made Jiang Qingzhi's eyes shrink. This is the legendary Japanese pirate. But at this moment he had no way to retreat... retreat and escape. He was confident that he could rely on his own abilities to build a small base in the mountains and live as a savage. But he would rather die than that. Going to Taizhou Prefecture means death as well. This is his only chance. The Japanese pirates have been wreaking havoc in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, and have been victorious in every direction, causing the officers and soldiers to be terrified. This is also the reason why Jiang Qingzhi dared to take risks. "Master." Sun Chonglou glanced at his master and said, "Run!" Jiang Qingzhi said, "Where are you going? I don't want to be a savage." "What kind of person does the young master want to be?" "The best of the best!" Sun Chonglou shut up, gripped the hilt tightly, and stood firmly on his feet, "I will listen to you, young master." The Japanese pirates stopped. In the woods, Chen Ba squinted his eyes and watched. A soldier behind him whispered, "I can feel the fierceness from a distance. I am afraid. But Jiang Maocai can stand firm. It turns out that scholars are scholars." "Among ten thousand scholars, if there is one like Jiang Maocai, it can be regarded as the good fortune of our ancestors." said the talented soldier. "Shut up!" Chen Ba was in a state of confusion at the moment and waved his hand, "Get ready." He was worried that the Japanese pirates would charge over, and he was even more worried that Jiang Qingzhi would kneel down and surrender, and tell the Japanese pirates the strengths and weaknesses of his subordinates. Then he's dead. Not far behind him, the prisoners, urged by several soldiers, were dragging branches and preparing to run. "Two young boys!" Fujisai Saburo was suspicious. The more intelligent a person claims to be, the more suspicious he is. Jiang Qingzhi thought about the Japanese language he knew, and it seemed a bit exciting. He laughed and said, "Why not fight?" The Japanese pirates behind him were a little agitated. They don't run?
The Japanese pirates were very confused. No matter who they met along the way, they would run away as if they had seen a ghost. This. This is so wrong! Could it be a trap? Fujisai Saburo hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go up and give it a try." A Japanese pirate walked slowly towards them with a knife in hand. As expected, the Japanese pirates suspected an ambush... Jiang Qingzhi was overjoyed, but acted impatient, chopping his long knife, "Hurry up and let that guy come up and die!" "Grandpa is getting impatient." Sun Chonglou shouted. This kid has a future... Jiang Qingzhi praised him secretly, but he didn't see that there was real expectation in Sun Chonglou's eyes. The Japanese pirates were getting closer and closer, and they were becoming more and more cautious. Jiang Qingzhi suddenly raised his hand. This is the signal. In the woods, Chen Ba shouted, "Run!" "start running." Dozens of prisoners began to run wildly, dragging branches. The forest was suddenly filled with smoke and dust. "Jiang Maocai, if you succeed, you will be my benefactor!" Chen Ba muttered to himself in a daze. If he succeeds, he will be credited! The coastal areas were in flames, but Yingtian Prefecture was peaceful and prosperous. In a peaceful era, where did military merit come from? People are greedy. Chen Ba hoped with a little bit of luck that the Japanese pirates would retreat on their own. He stared at the Japanese pirate intently, and when he saw the pirate speed up, he felt a chill in his heart. That sickly ghost will definitely run away, or he will be chopped to death. Finished! Chen Ba held the reins of the horse, ready to mount and escape. If it were an ordinary boy, his first reaction when he saw the Japanese pirates rushing towards him would be to run. But who is Jiang Qingzhi? A small warlord who leads anti-government armed forces in South America and dares to challenge the small group of Americans! He grinned and said, "Shi Tou, follow me!" At this moment, Jiang Qingzhi threw away all his worries. Rushed towards the Japanese pirates.
That indomitable attitude stunned the Ming officers and soldiers in the forest... "Jiang Maocai..." "How brave!" The Japanese pirates were originally testing when Jiang Qingzhi and Sun Chonglou rushed over. The Japanese pirates' first reaction was to escape. "Attack!" Jiang Qingzhi shouted while raising his knife. At this time, there was a lot of smoke and dust above the forest. The Japanese pirates' eyes narrowed... At this moment, Sun Chonglou passed his young master and ran over in a few steps. Leap into the air and strike with a knife. The Japanese pirate subconsciously raised his sword to block. At this moment, the southern garrisons were in a state of disrepair and their weapons were useless, but what Sun Chonglou borrowed was a thick-backed sword. There was a clang. The ordinary Japanese sword in the hands of the Japanese pirates broke! The thick-backed knife chopped down. Sun Chonglou landed on the ground, holding the knife in both hands and kneeling on one knee. The Japanese pirates stood there blankly. A line of blood slowly appeared on the forehead. Pfft! The Japanese pirates fell to the ground. Jiang Qingzhi turned around and shouted: "The enemy has lost their nerve, attack!" At this moment, Fujisai Saburo had only one thought in his mind, "This is a trap. Run!" He took the lead and ran away. The so-called famous general's demeanor suddenly became a laughing stock. "Chase!" Jiang Qingzhi chased after him with a long knife. But this body was in such a terrible state that after running a few steps I felt like there was a fire burning in my lungs. In the woods. There was complete silence, except for the sound of branches being dragged behind them.
"This empty city plan actually worked?" The soldier suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Victory!" This is a cheering slogan used by the army after killing an enemy general or defeating the enemy army. On the official road, Jiang Qingzhi turned around, bent over and yelled, "Chen Ba, what the hell, the Japanese pirates have all run away, why aren't you chasing them?" The leader fled first, and the pirates immediately became chaotic, forgetting all formations and assembly, and ran everywhere. Chen Ba woke up as if from a dream, "Chase! Chase and kill!" The confidant beside him said, "Xiaoqi, how can we let that sickly guy command us?" Snapped! Chen Ba slapped him and cursed, "You think you can call me a tuberculosis ghost?" "What is that called?" The confidant covered his face, thinking, doesn't Xiaoqi look down on his son-in-law? "Call Jiang Maocai!" Chen Ba mounted his horse and rushed out of the woods. His eyes were gleaming as he shouted, "My men, here is your chance to make a contribution. Kill!" More than ten soldiers rushed out, with smoke and dust billowing behind them, as if thousands of troops were attacking. When the Japanese pirates looked back, they were dumbfounded. "With a large army, my life is over!" Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. Father dies, mother remarries, and everyone looks after themselves... The Japanese pirates scattered even more. Jiang Qingzhi stood there panting. Chen Ba rode his horse over and shouted as he passed by him, "What a talented person!" Jiang Qingzhi just wanted to make a contribution at this moment, so he urged: "Don't stop, chase them all the way and drive them into the wilderness, at least ten miles away!" "I obey!" Chen Ba said subconsciously, and then rushed forward. Halfway through, he was startled and looked back at Jiang Qingzhi, thinking, why did I treat him as my superior? What a look it was in the eyes of the subsequent infantrymen when they ran past Jiang Qingzhi! It's all naked reverence. Jiang Qingzhi seemed to be back in the jungles of South America, directing his men and cursing, "A bunch of lazy bones, chase them!" Everyone did not take it as an offense. Instead, they felt that Master Maocai was indeed an expert in military operations and understood the principle of speed being the essence of war. "By the way, where's Shitou? That kid!" Jiang Qingzhi turned around and saw Sun Chonglou rushing in front, brandishing his sword... A head fell to the ground. "This is all thanks to my young master!" Sun Chonglou leaned over, picked up the head, and shouted at Chen Ba who was chasing him. "I admit it!" Chen Ba laughed. If the Japanese pirates gathered together and fled, Chen Ba would not dare to chase them even if he was killed. But at this moment, the Japanese pirates were running everywhere...
"This is a chance for Grandpa to make a contribution!" Behind him, dozens of prisoners rushed out of the woods holding various weapons and rushed towards the fleeing Japanese pirates frantically. That is the merit of atonement! The pursuit lasted for ten miles as Jiang Qingzhi instructed. Officers, soldiers and prisoners returned one after another. Everyone was exhausted, but also extremely excited. Twenty-five Japanese pirate heads! You know, a while ago, the Zhejiang coastal garrison killed more than ten Japanese pirates and dared to claim a great victory. And here are twenty-five heads. Jiang Qingzhi had regained some of his energy and looked at everyone with a smile. Everyone stopped. Looking at this pale-faced young man with his long hair casually tied up, the confidence and calmness between his brows are impressive. Someone took the lead and shouted, "Jiang Maocai, mighty!" A meritorious service! When the good news reached Nanjing, I think those officials would be overjoyed. At a time when the coastal areas are in a mess, this good news can help them get promoted and make a fortune! And all of this was brought by the fifteen-year-old Jiang Maocai in front of us. "Jiang Maocai, so awesome!" Long swords and various weapons were raised. Now that I have achieved the credit, it is time for me to get promoted and make a fortune… Chen Ba couldn’t help but raise his sword as well. In the spring afternoon. The young man kicked the servant Sun Chonglou who was walking over and cursed, "You chased after him alone without even saying anything." Sun Chonglou, who had previously killed the Japanese pirates like a demon, bowed his head and said, "Yes, Master." Then the boy touched his head and said, "I'll get you some meat later." …… Please vote! (End of this chapter)
