Chapter 365 The first gunshot
Jiang Qingzhi is not a bloodthirsty person, but in this era, you have to use killing to intimidate your enemies.
After the Jingguan was built in Datong, Altan's tribe became more cautious even when looting.
The Japanese pirates are cruel, so we should respond to them with even more cruel means.
This is Jiang Qingzhi’s true attitude towards foreigners.
I'm more cruel than you!
“Let the people come and watch!”
Jiang Qingzhi turned the construction of Jingguan into a grand gathering.
Feng Que, who had been waiting for him for several days, came out of the city and was shocked when he heard these words, "Chang Wei Bo, Chang Wei Bo!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Qingzhi looked at Feng Que, "What's the matter?"
"Those captives..." Feng Que approached and whispered, "If we send them to the capital to announce the victory, I think it will shock the court."
These are not captives, they are all meritorious and wealthy!
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "I've said it before, the only way to deal with the Japanese pirates is to stop killing with killing. As for whether the court is shocked or not, what does it have to do with me?"
There's no use in being shocked. At most you'll be amazed at the time, but within a few days you'll have forgotten all about it, and those who are still greedy will still be greedy.
This Ming Dynasty is sick.
It requires a bone-scraping surgery to save it.
And killing is the shot in the arm that Jiang Qingzhi gave to these people.
Hundreds of prisoners were still unaware of their fate, and some were even laughing.
"Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of Japanese pirates knelt outside the city, surrounded by a sea of people.
Hundreds of selected soldiers walked behind them, with an assistant on each side.
In the sunlight, the soldiers' faces were pale or blue, and some even had trembling hands.
"How can such officers and soldiers be a match for the Japanese pirates?" Ma Fang observed, shaking his head and said, "No wonder the teacher said that the Ming Dynasty is sick to its core and must be changed from the root."
"Chang Wei Bo!" Feng Que was still trying to persuade him.
Jiang Qingzhi looked at the sun and said, "Wait a little longer."
Chen Bo asked, "My Lord, what are you waiting for? Is there someone coming? I will send someone to meet them."
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head. "Some people say that people have souls. After death, if the soul is burned by the scorching sun, it will dissipate in an instant. I think the sun is too weak."
The murderous aura in these words made everyone shudder.
When the sun was overhead, Sun Chonglou said, "Master, it's noon."
Jiang Qingzhi raised his hand and waved it violently.
Mo Zhan stood at the side and shouted, “Behead!”
Hundreds of long swords chopped down quickly or slowly.
Some people successfully beheaded the pirates with one knife and squatted on the ground vomiting. Some people chopped the pirates on the back or head with one knife. The pirates could not die for a while and howled loudly.
Someone's long sword was stuck in the Japanese pirate's neck and couldn't be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.
"Kill!" Mo Zhan shouted.
The soldiers tried hard to draw their swords, and with the help of their assistants, they swung them again.
The screams were endless.
Human heads rolled one by one on the muddy ground.
Ma Fang saw the teacher looking up at the sky and whispered something.
How to build a Jingguan is a technical job.
"It must be sealed with earth, otherwise it won't be long before the flesh and blood rot and are eaten by insects, and the skeleton will fall apart."
Sun Chonglou was proudly teaching the officers and soldiers of Haimenwei how to build the Jingguan.
"A layer of corpses, a layer of soil, just like that."
"What a pity." Sun Chonglou sighed.
"What a pity?" someone asked.
Sun Chonglou said, "There are too few heads. The young master said that the real Jingguan has only heads. We have some corpses mixed in here."
However, Sun Chonglou said with longing: "Next time, kill more Japanese pirates and make this Jingguan..." He pointed to the sky, "The higher the better."
Jingguan stands outside the Haimenwei City.
The news was sent to Matsugi Ryoko, who sneered, "After we break through the Haimen Guard, we'll have a bloodbath!"
The Japanese pirates were either shocked or angry when they heard the news.
"Chief, revenge must be taken!" Zhang Jun reminded Matsuki Yoshiko again.
"I know." Matsugi Yoshiko said, "Although Cao Jin is on the same side as us, he is cunning. Take your men to investigate further."
"Yes."
Zhang Jun and a few Japanese pirates landed again at night.
Early the next morning, they approached the Acropolis disguised as ordinary people.
"Look!" A Japanese pirate whispered, "What is that?"
A huge mound of earth is just outside the Acropolis.
Many people were watching.
At this time, there was a large mound of earth, with occasional hands and feet sticking out, or a head standing sideways, staring blankly at the onlookers.
"It's Jingguan!" said Zhang Jun.
The two Japanese pirates looked gloomy, and Zhang Jun retreated quietly.
Several soldiers were maintaining order. Zhang Jun leaned over and pretended to bump into a soldier's shoulder accidentally.
"Sorry!" Zhang Jun shook the sergeant's hand and apologized.
Before the sergeant could react, Zhang Jun let go and walked away.
After he left, the sergeant looked at a ball of paper in his hand and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
The paper ball was later delivered to Jiang Qingzhi.
——Local big families, be careful of assassinations.
Jiang Qingzhi handed the note to Xu Wei.
"Local big families, be careful of assassinations. Who could that person be? Intimidation? Or to make the master suspicious?" Xu Wei thought about it. He has been going out a lot recently, but his skin is still fair and he looks like a rich man.
"Aristocratic family..." Jiang Qingzhi's eyes were deep, "No matter who that person is, Song Muliangzi will definitely respond soon."...
"Jiang Qingzhi ordered the execution of all the captives and built a Jingguan outside the Haimenwei City. Now the morale of the officers and soldiers of Haimenwei has been greatly boosted."
Zhang Jun looked indignant, "The head on top is made of logs."
More than a dozen leaders, both big and small, couldn't help but gasp, and then they felt a sense of grief for the loss of their loved ones, and cursed Jiang Qingzhi loudly, as if this would give them courage.
Song Mu Liangzi said coldly: "I heard at home that when the Central Plains attacked Goguryeo, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed by the Goguryeo people. The Jingguan they built stretched as far as the eye could see... This is nothing. When we break through the Haimenwei City, we will fight back!"
Matsugi Ryoko walked to the beach alone, and the maid beside her whispered, "Those people are whispering behind your back, saying that you are incompetent."
"There's something fishy about this." Song Mu Liangzi pressed the hilt of the knife, "How could Jiang Qingzhi know that I was going to raid Songmen? If not, how could Yuan Mu's entire army be wiped out?"
Matsugi Yoshiko thought of her family.
She is the only daughter in the family. Seeing her father getting old, many people in the family are eyeing her. As the only daughter, if she wants to inherit the family power, she must do something...
"Everyone thinks I'm the widow of Aoki Ichiyama, how can that bastard be worthy of it?"
Matsuki Yoshiko sneered, "I have been in danger many times in the family. If I don't come out, I will be killed by those bastards sooner or later. That bastard Aoki Ichiyama... deserves to die!"
But Matsuki Yoshiko must thank Aoki Ichiyama for giving her a chance. After taking over this group of Japanese pirates, the family's attitude really changed. Her father suppressed those ambitious guys, and the elders who used to treat her coldly sent her comforting words: Yoshiko, come back soon.
"Kill Jiang Qingzhi and massacre the Haimen City Guard. Then return to the family!" A strange light flashed in Matsugi Yoshiko's eyes.
……
Feng Que returned to Linhai, and Sun Lianyuan immediately asked him to come and see him.
"That Lord Chang Wei is indeed a fierce god. He killed hundreds of Japanese pirates without warning. That scene... I still feel sick when I think about it now."
Feng Que's face turned pale. "By the way, Chang Wei Bo said that the maritime ban is ridiculous and should be abolished."
"What does he mean?" Sun Lianyuan frowned.
"Long Wilbur means to lift the ban on fishing and allow fishermen to go out to sea to fish."
"But the Japanese pirates have disguised themselves as fishermen and come ashore more than once or twice. If the maritime ban is lifted, the Japanese pirates will come ashore and rob again. Who will be responsible?" Sun Lianyuan said coldly: "He patted his butt and went back to Beijing. In the end, we are the ones who suffered. You didn't refuse?"
"I argued with Chang Wei Bo. But he said..." Feng Que thought of Jiang Qingzhi's anger at that time, "Local civil and military officials are incompetent. They only care about their own official hats. They treat the symptoms without caring about the lives of the people!"
"You should ask him what to do if the Japanese pirates come ashore disguised as fishermen," said Sun Lianyuan.
"I asked." Feng Que said, "Chang Wei Bo said to kill him."
"He said it lightly..."
……
In late autumn, Haimenwei is very warm when there is no wind. But once the wind blows, it penetrates into the bones through the pores, making people feel cold all over.
"My Lord, the local government has come to visit the troops."
Early that morning, Jiang Qingzhi was training the Haimen Guard when local gentry came to entertain the troops with pigs and sheep.
"It is said that Lord Bo is a master in commanding troops. Just looking at the new look of the officers and soldiers of Haimen Guard, it is clear that Lord Bo is not only a master in commanding troops, but also the best in the world in terms of training!"
Cao Jin looked at the Haimen guards who looked refreshed in spirit and was extremely wary in his heart, but he praised them loudly.
"This is Cao Jin, Huang Duo..."
A civil servant introduced the gentry who came to entertain the troops.
"Meet Long Wilbur!"
Everyone salutes.
"Thank you very much." Jiang Qingzhi looked at the pigs, sheep, food, wine and other things, and ordered: "Tell the kitchen to prepare more meat today. In addition, the training has been difficult recently, except for the soldiers on duty, they are allowed to drink."
When the news spread, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
Huang Duo's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Yes! We should have a few drinks."
Cao Jin turned around and gave a wink to his followers.
At noon, the news reached Matsugi Yoshiko.
"My master said that Jiang Qingzhi will host a banquet for them at noon. The master said that he will find an opportunity to strike at noon. But how good is the person you sent? If he fails, it will have nothing to do with the master."
The messenger looked impatient.
Song Muliangzi said calmly: "That man is a professional assassin in my family. He has practiced many methods of hiding and assassinating since he was a child. As long as he can get close to Jiang Qingzhi, he will definitely die!"
……
At noon, Jiang Qingzhi hosted a banquet for Cao Jin and others, during which he talked about the prosperity of the capital and the current situation of the anti-Japanese war.
"...I will eradicate the Japanese pirates completely." Jiang Qingzhi was a little tipsy, "Otherwise I will never withdraw my troops!"
"it is good!"
Cao Jin cheered loudly with the crowd while looking at a short man on the periphery.
The short man pretended to be an attendant and had dinner with the attendants of the gentry.
Jiang Qingzhi stood up and said he was going to change his clothes.
Huang Duo glanced at the place where the short man was before.
The short man had disappeared.
Jiang Qingzhi went to the toilet and urinated heartily.
There were faint footsteps behind me.
Someone is approaching quietly.
Jiang Qingzhi turned sideways and met the visitor face to face.
The man looked up, with an ordinary face, short stature, and traces of wind and sun. In his right hand, he suddenly held a short knife.
"Jiang Qingzhi!"
The man groaned, moved slightly, and pounced over.
The toilet was narrow and Jiang Qingzhi had no place to hide.
Either you step back and fall into the toilet, or you wait to die!
Jiang Qingzhi raised his right hand, holding a strange object.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes looked contemptuous.
The finger squeezes the trigger.
"Sabi!"
Bah!
