Good morning Daming

Chapter 1054: Japanese pirates weaker than women
"Fight in!"

Sasa Chigi pointed his sword at Hangzhou City, "Bloody Hangzhou City!"

The Japanese pirates' eyes turned red, this was a prosperous city they had never seen before.

Even in the dim night, everything in Hangzhou... the wide and straight streets in front of me, the houses on both sides, the endless residential houses...

All of them demonstrate the prosperity of this city.

Japan is currently in the midst of a chaotic war with many heroes vying for supremacy.

The ruined city, the hasty-looking people, the army that appeared from time to time...

While the entire Japanese country was in turmoil and chaos, the city of Hangzhou was enjoying peace.

Why?
The animal nature in my bones was aroused at this moment.

The Japanese pirates howled like beasts. Their blood was boiling, and they had only one thought in their minds... to destroy everything in front of them.

Either I own it or I destroy it!

Just as they did many years later.

"kill!"

Lin Xi arrived at Jiang Qingzhi's residence amid the shouting and killing. He saw a person kneeling outside the gate and asked, "Who is it?"

The attendant walked to the front and looked back, then came back and whispered, "It's Commander Mao."

Mao Shunchang turned around and pleaded, "Governor, please consider my past respect and help me to smooth things over with Lord Bo."

Lin Xi walked over and said coldly: "When Zhou Wang intervened in the navy, I discussed with you that there was nothing to fear if the two of us joined forces. But you would rather sit back and watch the navy fall into mud step by step. If you had known this would happen, you would not have done it in the first place!"

"Governor!"

Mao Shunchang said in despair: "That's the Yan Party! Your humble servant..."

"I don't blame you for wanting to protect yourself, but you can ignore things within your duties. You are derelict of duty!" Lin Xi pointed at the North City, "If you hadn't derelict your duty, how could the Japanese pirates enter the city?"

"If it weren't for your dereliction of duty..." Lin Xi resisted the urge to kick Mao Shunchang down and turned to go in. "Is the uncle here?"

"exist!"

As soon as Lin Xi entered, Zhou Wang came.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!" Mao Shunchang knelt over as if he had grabbed the last straw to save his life. "Prime Minister, I have always obeyed you and followed your orders... Please save me!"

What about obedience and follow orders? These words are such a mess.

Zhou Wang stopped and looked at him as if he was looking at a wild dog, then walked in, "Is Chief Wilbur here?"

"Here!" Bol nodded and looked inside, only to see hundreds of soldiers standing quietly in the yard behind him.

What they hold in their hands...are those muskets?

Zhou Wang took a quick look and followed a soldier to the lobby.

A guard asked Paul, "Why was he allowed in?"

In the eyes of the guards, since Zhou Wang was their mortal enemy, they would just leave him aside and find an opportunity to throw some responsibilities to him afterwards.

"My Lord always convinces people with reason when he does things." Bol said seriously. Seeing the guard curled his lips, he said, "It's okay to joke at home, but this is Hangzhou."

The guards were startled. Bol said, "My Lord has enemies all over the world now. We should be careful about what we say and do outside, so as not to give them an advantage."

"Tsk! You look more like a Ming person than I do. Are all Portuguese people so smart?"

In public opinion, the Portuguese were a group of savages who ate raw meat and drank blood. They were so smelly that they were disgusting even from a distance.

Bol sighed, "If you had fought with beggars for a piece of bread and stray dogs and cats on the streets of Lisbon since you were a few years old, and fought with the wind and waves and people's hearts for your life when you grew up... then you could be like me."

The guard shook his head, "Is the sea very chaotic?"

"It's not very chaotic, but... it's just like the jungle that Uncle said. On the sea, you must have the sense of smell of a dog, the agility of a mountain cat, and the ferocity of a tiger... Otherwise, you will either die in the wind and waves, or die in an internal fight."

"Fuck! If that's the case, opening the sea isn't a good thing!"

“That’s Lisbon, that’s the West.”

"Is it different?"

"There is no etiquette or morality. From the king to the beggar, everyone robs and kills for honor, and their only goal is profit."

"What about propriety, righteousness, and integrity?"

“They don’t see that.”

Bol stretched his neck and said, "After arriving in Daming, do you know how I felt? Damn! I felt like I had come from a jungle full of beasts to a fairyland. The people here are polite and courteous, and they make you feel a distance, neither too far nor too close, which makes people feel very comfortable."

If someone in Xin'an Lane had problems, the neighbors would lend a hand. The same was true for the Bo's Mansion. When Li Tian heard the news, he would send someone to help.

But this help is very measured and by no means too much.

For example, if the neighbors give ten coins, then the Bo family can give a maximum of thirty coins.

A little more, but not too much. It's not that they can't afford it, nor are they stingy. Boer thinks this is the Bo family lowering their status and showing that they are not inferior to the neighbors.

"In Lisbon, there is a clear hierarchy," said Pol.

"You always talked about returning home in glory one day. Do you still have such thoughts now?"

"Yes. But... Lord Boss said he wanted to go to the west to have a look. I will go as his entourage. I hope that the fleet he will be accompanying will be so long that you can't see the end of it."

The guard glanced at him. In the firelight, Paul's eyes were bright.

When he first came to the Earl's Mansion, his attitude was humble and his eyes were dead silent.

At this moment, there seemed to be infinite vitality brewing in those eyes.

Zhou Wang walked into the lobby and Lin Xi was talking.

"…Once the northern city is swept away, the entire city of Hangzhou will be in an uproar. I think we should send cavalry reinforcements immediately."

"Meet Long Wilbur."

Zhou Wang bowed.

Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "No need for cavalry."

"Then..." Lin Xi was stunned, and suddenly smiled bitterly.

Yes.

I haven't made a decision yet.

Last time, Jiang Qingzhi asked him to go back and think carefully about why he became an official.

——Is Confucianism important, or is the world more important?

Lin Xi stepped aside and thought of what the teacher said when he was a child.

——We should take the world as our responsibility!

World!

Lin Xi chewed on the word slowly.

What is the world?
It’s all the people!
It's the territory!
It is the land and rivers, the mountains and the sea, and everyone's food and clothing...

It's the army, it's the navy...

All of this merged into this world.

What played a role in the integration in the middle?
Road!
Do not!
It's the human heart!
When people’s hearts come together and everyone can do his or her own part, this world will become a beautiful world.

Once people’s hearts are scattered, the world will be in chaos.

Aren’t people’s minds scattered right now?

Why scattered?

Is it the new policy that has disturbed people's hearts?

Do not!
The original world was already in crisis. The purpose of the new policy...

Lin Xi asked himself, is the new policy good?

He looked up at Jiang Qingzhi in confusion.

Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of medicinal smoke, as if waiting for something.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and that kind of confidence made Lin Xi sigh.

Why did Your Majesty and Jiang Qingzhi implement the New Deal?
Isn't it just to gather people's hearts?

Only when people’s hearts are united again can the world be renewed.

So who is in chaos right now?

They are scholar-officials, they are...Confucians.

Why are they in chaos?
Just because the new policy cut into their flesh.

Should I cut it?
Shouldn't it?
Two voices were arguing in Lin Xi's mind.

"Is it almost done?" Tang Shunzhi asked.

Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "We have to make the guests feel proud."

Xu Wei smiled and said, "It would be very interesting if those pirates suddenly found out something was wrong just when they were feeling proud of themselves."

In the north city, the Japanese pirates rushed forward with roars.

"Don't worry about the sides, just rush forward, the faster the better." Sasaki Chiki shouted.

He had to create chaos as quickly as possible, the bigger the better, otherwise if Jiang Qingzhi had time to react...

The general said earlier that there were 1,000 cavalrymen accompanying Jiang Qingzhi in the city. Once those 1,000 cavalrymen were dispatched, the result would be self-evident, cavalry versus infantry.

They ran madly, and the further they went in, the more prosperous it became.

"It's almost done!" Sasaki Chiki shouted, "Arson and murder!"

A gust of wind blew by.

The sound of drums was delivered.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
"What's that sound?" someone asked.

Puff puff!
Puff puff!
Accompanied by the drumbeats, the sound of footsteps came.

Just like a wave.

The Japanese pirates in the front looked up and ahead.

Rows of black shadows were lined up in an orderly manner, marching towards us to the beat of drums.

Bang bang bang!
The footsteps gradually became louder.

"Stop!"

The drums stopped.

The rows of black shadows were silent, a hundred steps away from the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates behind were blocked and someone shouted, "Why don't you move forward?"

Sasaki Chigi was in the middle, with people on both sides. He shouted, "Why stop?"

There was dead silence ahead.

Sasaki Chigi squeezed to the front and cursed, "Asshole! Why…"

His voice stopped abruptly when he saw those dark figures.

"What is that?" asked the sergeant behind him.

The general leading the way was trembling.

He couldn't help but want to step back, "That's... that's Jiang Qingzhi's Tiger Guard Left Guard!"

"Hu Ben Zuo Wei?"

"Raise the gun!"

Someone shouted from the shadows on the opposite side.

Swish!
The front row raised their muskets.

"Kill them!" Sasaki Chiki didn't know what it was, but his instinct made him retreat.

"Kill!" The Japanese pirates rushed forward again.

"volley!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The Japanese pirates, who had just picked up speed, seemed to have encountered a wall.

The Japanese pirates in the front fell to the ground one after another as if they were hit by an invisible hammer.

At the same time, there was a dense roar coming from the direction of the dock.

Boom boom boom!
"It's a firearm!" The military advisor turned around and said, "Chief, it's a firearm. Jiang Qingzhi was prepared!"

Sasaki Chiki thought of what Wang Shi's steward had said, that Jiang Qingzhi's great victory in the Northern Expedition was due to the powerful firearms.

Sasaki Chiki asked himself, if his men encountered the grassland cavalry, the only option would be to escape.

But Jiang Qingzhi was able to fight and win.

Is it time to quit?

Sasaki Chigi gritted his teeth and said, "While they are setting the fire... charge forward. We are invincible in close combat!"

Invincibility in close combat is the last resort of the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates burst out their last bit of courage. In their eyes, a distance of a hundred steps was nothing and they would be there in a flash.

As long as the two sides got close to each other, the Ming army's firearms were not even as good as fire sticks.

"kill!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

But the muskets only stopped for a moment before roaring again.

Rows of Japanese pirates fell headlong under the impact of lead bullets.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The firepower continued.

The Japanese pirates in the front row wanted to escape, but the pirates behind them rushed up and pushed them forward.

"Go away!"

The Japanese pirates in front turned around and ran away without caring about anything, and collided with the Japanese pirates behind.

"Are these the so-called invincible Japanese pirates that have left the South helpless?"

On the other side, Chen Bao sighed, "Damn it! How come you are weaker than a woman?"

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

The military advisor's face turned pale, "Chief, this is not something we can defeat, retreat immediately!"

Sasaki Chiaki shuddered, and all those longings and fantasies turned into ashes.

"withdraw!"
