The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 82: Killing
Wang Zhi was a big pirate who colluded with Japanese pirates and harmed the people.

Any reason is damn enough.

It was not surprising that he knew in advance that he had returned to the southeast. He was probably also able to know more detailed information such as how many people he brought with him and how long it took for the army to be formed. But this person was really smart.

He sent someone to contact the Xue family in advance. If he could cash in the spoils through the Xue family, he could convey his intentions through the Xue family.

What a good move to drive the tiger to devour the wolf.

Use yourself to eliminate some of his opponents.

His calculations of human nature were all taken into account. He was certain that he would not refuse to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and they were real pirates. At the same time, he revealed that he could recruit them through his own hands, which would be a great achievement that would come to his doorstep.

Unfortunately.

The real Japanese must be eliminated, and the fake Japanese must also be killed. As long as they are stained with blood, no one will be spared.

This is a cognitive misunderstanding.

If it were Xue Yan, he would understand Wang Zhi and even praise Wang Zhi for his hard work. There are many such people. Regardless of ancient or modern times, many people who claim to see through the world will have such an understanding.

If you do a few more good things, you will even be praised as a hero.

So if it were Xue Yan, he would definitely agree with Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi’s plan was a good one.

So he said goodbye to Xue Yan and his group, and in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he immediately ordered them to set off.

A total of more than 20 grain boats arrived at Lianghu along the canal, and were divided into two groups from Lianghu. One group carried food and fodder south along the Cao'e River, and the rest continued sailing to Fenghua.

"General, disembark here, cross Maple Ridge and you'll enter Taizhou Prefecture. Twenty miles south will lead you to Ninghai."

A guide from the Xue family lowered his voice and said.

His face was full of tension.

Wang Xin nodded, patted the guy on the shoulder and thanked him.

"Thanks for your hard work, little brother."

The guy's face showed pride, not just because of the generous reward.

The soldiers on the ship disembarked one after another.

The people were simple, but it was not easy to get the nine horses off the boat. They were bought from Yangzhong Island. Tang Ping wanted to give them to Wang Xin, but he refused.

The Beijing army also has horses.

Wang Xin didn't want it because the horses had been on the boat for more than half a month, which wasted manpower, material resources and energy. It would take some time for them to recover after getting off the shore, and he didn't have time to wait.

It's only been a day or two now, the horses are a little frightened, but they will be able to stabilize soon.

Each person brought ten days' worth of dry food, which was prepared with the help of the people on Yangzhong Island. They also paid for the help, which was a must, so the morale was high and the spirits were high.

These are not surprising. The reason why I chose Yangzhong Island was not entirely because of trust, but also to let the new recruits come and have a look.

I am not just making empty promises, but I keep my words. This is true in the capital and elsewhere as well. The soldiers can fight with confidence.

"Dusi."

Li Wu rushed over, and soon after, Liu Tong and others also gathered over.

"Tell the brothers to cheer up from now on. Don't fall behind, and don't take it lightly. Liu Tong, don't think about revenge. If you disrupt military discipline and delay the battle, you will not be forgiven."

Wang Xin specifically instructed Liu Tong.

He also said it deliberately in public in order to warn a group of Zhejiang soldiers under Liu Tong. He said what Liu Tong was not willing to say, so he said it himself.

Liu Tong understood the general's intention and made his promise with a heavy face.

The military officers around him were speechless.

Wang Xin glanced at the panel.

Wang Zhi's plan actually revealed one thing.

The Japanese pirates did not trust each other and there were also huge conflicts among them. Therefore, the previous 70% confidence level has now increased to 90%. As for the remaining 10%, what if a meteorite falls from the sky and hits someone?

So I'm 90% sure.

"set off!"

Wang Xin waved his hand.

The soldiers, wearing leggings, advanced quietly under the leadership of their respective sentries. Ahead was Ninghai County, a coastal county in Taizhou Prefecture.

The county gates were closed.

The Japanese pirates had been wreaking havoc in the countryside for a long time.

Many villages along the coast have been robbed, and those large villages with their own strongholds chose to ignore them. There was no need to waste time on them. The Japanese pirates advanced deep into the interior, and there were not many left along the coast. Because of the mudflats, there was only a small fishing port here.

This place has been sold out.

"There's nothing here. Even the house was burned down. Jiro, let's try Ninghai."

The man with a Japanese bun shook his head.

He continued to search in the collapsed house and finally found a hoe, smiling happily.

His companions felt helpless.

Everyone goes out to sea to make a fortune, but Jiro is cautious and only chooses these worthless things.

"I heard that General Wang returned to the southeast, and some people said they saw a flag with the word 'Wang' on it." Jiro carefully put the hoe, which was not burned because of the collapsed house, aside where there were a pile of farm tools.

"The flag with the character 'Wang' on it doesn't mean that General Wang has returned."

"Besides," the companion said as he followed Jiro's search, "I heard from Commander Wang Zhi that General Wang has been transferred to the capital and won't be back anytime soon."

"Besides, the general's head was taken away by Menduolang last time. You clearly had a contribution, but you didn't fight for it. Now Menduolang is the most popular, and many people have gone to him. But you, many of your brothers, have complaints."

Jiro disagreed and said in a pretentious manner, "There is a proverb in the upper country that is very touching, 'Better safe than sorry'. It is convincing that staying alive is more important than anything else."

He hid in the rear of Ninghai County, far away from Taizhou City. Even if General Wang came back to kill him, there were other people blocking him in front. If he saw that the situation was not good, he could just run away.

Control your ambitions and control the risks.

I have enjoyed everything.

The crying of babies in the upper kingdom is no different.

The swords and guns also produced red blood.

I also made a lot of money.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

He should return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life. With the accumulated wealth, he can not only marry and have children, but also train his son to continue to become a warrior. This is the way to long-term stability.

So Jiro wasn't worried.

Many people shared the same idea as him, and some even began to keep those beautiful women, intending to take them home to bear children. Those who were ambitious and dissatisfied could go and find someone else, and he would not stop them.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Jiro learned a sentence and spoke it in a clear and melodious voice.

The companions stopped trying to persuade him.

Sometimes he felt that Jiro was right, but sometimes he was unwilling to accept it, especially when he saw other people getting rich, which always made him jealous.

Forget it.

Although you can't make a lot of money, as Jiro said, there is not much risk.

It was a normal day.

Although there should be no surprise, the Japanese pirates looked at the "King" flag that suddenly appeared in front of them in surprise.

"I don't know."

"Why didn't we receive any news? Did the Wang family army fly here?"

Jiro was incoherent.

His companions were in a panic.

No one understands why Wang Jiajun appeared.

　Next week, on Wednesday, I would like to thank all my fellow book friends for their support. This book has achieved its current success. I am deeply grateful. I wish all my brothers and sisters good health and all the best to their families.
