Chapter 7: The Talented Diviner A gentleman's revenge is never too late. The villain takes revenge from morning to night. Yang Gongcheng is a mean man and has always been worried about being retaliated by Jiang Qingzhi. Because of their good performance in this battle, the prisoners were treated preferentially and helped the villagers clean up under the supervision of the sergeants. "The illness before... Jiang Maocai casually ordered that when the people are in trouble, the army should help them. Chen Xiaoqi actually nodded immediately, being unbelievably respectful..." Someone was muttering to himself, and seeing Yang Gongcheng panic, he teased him, "You have offended Jiang Maocai, be careful of being punished." "Am I scared?" Yang Gongcheng had also committed a serious crime. Although he spoke toughly, he was nervous in his heart. At this time, there was a noise in the room, and then Zhang Mao and Wang Yu came out. Yang Gongcheng and others quickly stood up. "Mr. Maocai is not feeling well, please stay."
Zhang Mao turned around and advised. At this moment, Jiang Qingzhi was like a life-saving bodhisattva in his eyes. Any accident would make him suffer more than the death of his parents. Yang Gong originally lowered his head, but when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw Zhang Mao with a big smile on his face bowing to Jiang Qingzhi inside the door. He was shocked. This is a thousand-household official! Crushing a small flag like Chen Ba is like crushing an ant. He was so respectful to that consumptive guy. I just want to pee... Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "Speed is of the essence in war. Captain Zhang, please quickly organize your troops and set off later." "I know." Zhang Mao nodded, and after turning around, his expression had turned into majesty. Jiang Qingzhi watched him go out, and when he looked away, he saw Yang Gongcheng. Yang Gongcheng stared at him blankly, feeling uncomfortable, but more afraid. When he saw him looking at him, he kneeled down subconsciously, trembling all over. "Master Maocai, please spare my life." But Jiang Qingzhi didn't have any regard for such a person. When he came back from the toilet, Yang Gongcheng was still kneeling. "Stone." Jiang Qingzhi stood in front of the thatched cottage and felt a little cooler in his heart. After thinking about it, it must be the benefit brought by the running I did earlier. The original body needs more practice! "Master." Sun Chonglou held the knife and looked at Yang Gongcheng's neck with ill intentions, "Do you want to kill this man?" Don't think he's joking, 13-year-olds are the most unscrupulous. Killing is just a matter of preference for them. Jiang Qingzhi frowned and smelled the smell of urine. He looked and saw that Yang Gongcheng was paralyzed by fear, with a puddle of water under him. "That's all."
Jiang Qingzhi had no interest in arguing with such minions. "You got it for free." Sun Chonglou said regretfully, "Otherwise I would chop off your head and let those who despise the young master see it." Yang Gongcheng, who felt that he had escaped death, raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "Thank you, Master Maocai, thank you, Master Maocai..." No one took Jiang Qingzhi's words as empty talk... Look at Chen Ba's attitude towards Jiang Qingzhi. Killing a prisoner for Jiang Maocai was really no big deal for Chen Xiaoqi, who had just made a great contribution! Jiang Qingzhi looked at the ruined village and pondered for a long time. "Young Master, I'm afraid that all the family property has been taken away by the Ye family." Sun Chonglou said gritting his teeth. "Just put it in another place temporarily." Jiang Qingzhi was not thinking about the family property at the moment, but how to maximize the benefits in the future. It was obvious that Zhang Mao's men were not elite. If they were to fight the Japanese pirates in a fair battle in the field, Jiang Qingzhi would not have the slightest confidence of winning. Only surprise attack. The Japanese pirates traveled by sea vessels, and their base camp was also sea vessels. The Japanese pirates would first send out scouts, or contact the Ming traitors on the shore, to determine the location of the looting, and only then would they come ashore. How to get the Japanese pirates to go ashore... Jiang Qingzhi stood under the eaves, his pale face illuminated by the sun, looking somewhat sickly handsome. A village woman passing by couldn't help but praise him, "What a beautiful sickly boy." Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes. A beautiful boy is a beautiful boy, what does it mean to add a yandere to it? He took a deep breath and patted Sun Chonglou on the shoulder, "Stone." "Young Master." Sun Chonglou was tall, and when he was patted, he bent down to make it easier for the young master to pat him. "What do you want to do in the future?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. "Me?" Sun Chonglou scratched his head, looking quite honest, "I don't know. Oh! I know." Jiang Qingzhi smiled. "Follow the young master." Sun Chonglou said, "I will follow the young master for the rest of my life." Simple people are the happiest… Jiang Qingzhi sneered inwardly when he saw Wang Yu, who was walking hurriedly with sweat all over his face. This man! For fame, fortune and status, people will do anything. "Our troops have assembled, Maocai..." Wang Yu came to ask for instructions. "lets go!" Jiang Qingzhi left the village, and Zhang Mao got him a docile horse for him to ride. After getting on the horse, Jiang Qingzhi looked back at the village. Zhang Mao smiled and asked, "What is Jiang Maocai thinking about?" Jiang Qingzhi said, "I wonder how many Japanese pirates should be killed before those civilians can rest in peace." Could it be that this young man was just speaking casually? Zhang Mao pretended to look casually, but saw that the boy was very serious. He was startled and quickly changed the subject, "If those pirates who managed to escape go back and report their defeat, will the main force flee?" Jiang Qingzhi shook his head, "No."
"Please advise me." Wang Yu bowed. Jiang Qingzhi glanced at him and said calmly, "The Japanese pirates have been wreaking havoc in the south for many years, especially in recent years. Have any officers and soldiers taken the initiative to attack them?" The Japanese pirates are not at their most rampant at this moment. In a few years, they will sweep across the southeast coast and become a major threat to the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming army was weak at the moment, it could still be saved in the eyes of the emperors and generals. It was not until they were beaten to a pulp by the Japanese pirates that the emperors and ministers realized that the Ming army, which they thought could still be saved, had already been vulnerable. And at this moment, only Jiang Qingzhi knew all this. Zhang Mao and Wang Yu looked at each other. Less than three miles away, a team of scouts came back at full speed, and one of them had a prisoner on his saddle. "Captain, we've captured a prisoner alive." The scouts were excited. "Oh!" Zhang Mao was overjoyed. "Torture and interrogate." This Japanese pirate was from the Ming Dynasty and he spoke soon after. "There are more than a hundred people on board." "How many real Japanese are there?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. Why is it a teenager asking questions? The Japanese pirate glanced at Zhang Mao. "Speak!" Zhang Mao shouted. This young man actually seemed to be the one in charge… In order to avoid being tortured, the Japanese pirates quickly smiled at Jiang Qingzhi, "There are more than forty real Japanese." "More than forty." Zhang Mao took a breath of cold air. Jiang Qingzhi glanced at him. Zhang Mao said awkwardly, "I heard that those real Japanese people all know swordsmanship..." "It was passed down from the former Tang Dynasty." Jiang Qingzhi said lightly. The former Tang Dynasty was very open-hearted and helped the barbaric Japanese country out of the pit. Unfortunately, the descendants of the later generations were not up to the standard and were beaten up by students. Yu Daqiu challenged the Shaolin Temple and Qi Jiguang trained the Zhejiang soldiers. These two seemingly different actions briefly boosted the martial spirit of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the world was intoxicated by the warm wind, the literati dominated the fate of the Ming Dynasty, the warriors became slaves, and their kung fu... was not as good as an article. The higher the status of the literati, the more tragic the consequences... When the barbarians entered the pass, they killed many people. At that time, writing was of no use at all. The Central Plains, having lost its military prowess, fell into ruin. Zhang Mao asked, "If the Japanese pirates learn of your defeat, will they retreat?" A group of generals held their breath and stared at the prisoner... Zhang Mao was in trouble, and they would not have an easy time either. Zhang Mao had previously called them together for a secret talk and told them about Jiang Qingzhi's analysis, which shocked the group of generals. Nowadays, no one has a clean record. If Nanjing wants to target them, they can easily find evidence of their crimes. If the Japanese pirates run away, everyone will be wiped out. Those who deserve to die will die, and those who deserve to be exiled will be exiled. Jiang Qingzhi shook his head when he saw this. He had already gotten the confession he wanted, so he walked out of the crowd and called Chen Ba.
The captives' voices came, "...The leader has said many times that the Ming soldiers are useless. They have never attacked us in all these years, so we should not be afraid. If the news gets out, the leader will not run away..." "It's not appropriate to follow the prisoners. Leave half of your men behind to watch over them," Jiang Qingzhi ordered. "I think so too, but..." Chen Ba said in embarrassment, "But I think that if more people follow Maocai, it will increase our power." "My power does not need this to support it." Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile. At this time, Zhang Mao and others turned around and looked at Jiang Qingzhi. Jiang Qingzhi's previous words echoed in my ears. ——The Japanese pirates have been wreaking havoc in the south for many years, especially in recent years. Have any officers and soldiers taken the initiative to attack them? "It's really a divine calculation!" Zhang Mao suddenly felt that as a captain, he seemed to be a little unconfident. It seems that Maocai really does not need his subordinates to boost his momentum... Chen Ba was startled, saluted and stepped back: "I will arrange it now." At this moment, the prisoner took advantage of the opportunity when everyone was looking at Jiang Qingzhi and rushed out, targeting the weakest Jiang Qingzhi. The Japanese pirates owed countless blood debts in the south, and once they were captured, they would surely die. If the prisoners want to survive, they have to capture a hostage. Jiang Qingzhi is the best target. "Master!" Sun Chonglou drew his sword. Chen Ba rushed towards Jiang Qingzhi and roared: "Protect Maocai!" Zhang Mao's eyes were red with anger, "Shoot!" But it's too late! After years of peace, the soldiers in the southern garrisons had long lost their vigilance. As the prisoners rushed over, Jiang Qingzhi suddenly found something in his hand. He even has the kung fu to aim, pull, and release with one eye. Snapped! The prisoner covered his eyes and fell down screaming. Jiang Qingzhi threw the thing to Sun Chonglou and clapped his hands, "Stone, I'll give you a bird." Sun Chonglou took it with one hand, and everyone looked and found that it was actually a slingshot. But no one had ever seen such a small slingshot with a metallic glow. Sun Chonglou said happily: "I'll catch some birds and roast them for you to eat later." The captive was pinned down by several soldiers and shouted in despair: "If you dare to go to the beach, you will surely die. We have hundreds of people to die with us. It's refreshing, refreshing!" "Bah!" Sun Chonglou spit in his face. "My young master defeated dozens of you with only fifteen men. There are hundreds of men here, and the hundreds of Japanese pirates in the sea are not enough for my young master to fill his teeth."
Seeing that Jiang Qingzhi was fine, Chen Ba went over and kicked the captive, then turned back and smiled at Sun Chonglou, "Shi Tou, you are absolutely right. With Mao Cai here, I am not afraid of a bird!" "I don't eat people." Jiang Qingzhi laughed, and the soldiers thought so too, and they felt more courageous. "Let's go!" Zhang Mao shouted. On the third day, Jiang Qingzhi and others approached the seaside. Dou Jialan also intercepted the messenger going to Nanjing. Dou Jialan's face turned pale when he learned that a group of Japanese pirates had landed in Songjiang Prefecture and were close to Jiang Qingzhi's route to Taizhou Prefecture. "If anything happens to you..." Zhang Nian twitched his lips slightly, "If something bad happens to you, then the good will come back." "There are more than a hundred Japanese pirates, and there are many local garrisons. We should not be afraid, right?" someone said. "The officers and soldiers in the south are useless." Zhang Nian smiled bitterly, "Now I just hope that you will be lucky enough to avoid those vicious Japanese pirates." I hope so...Dou Jialan took a deep breath, "From this moment on, I will change the horse but not the person." The sound of horse hooves shattered the spring light, heading south...
