Chapter 483: The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (11)

"Welcome home."

He saw her step down from the city wall, and rode to her side quickly. Hearing her firm voice speaking to him, he didn't know why his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Shi Yi has not failed the general's mission. This city and the people are all safe!" He saw her kneeling on one knee and reporting the military situation like her own subordinates. The others instantly quieted down, and then there was a boiling sound.

"General, you are wise! General, you are wise!" The crowd shouted.

"It turns out that the general had expected everything!" After his subordinates exchanged glances, they became more determined to follow him.

Jiang Qi didn't know what to say anymore. He could only try not to show any unnecessary emotions. He personally helped her up, patted her shoulders heavily as if she were his own subordinate, but his voice was choked with sobs: "You are very good! You have done a good job!"

She not only saved the people of this area! She also saved the reputation of the court and his honor!

"General, you have worked hard! General, you have worked hard! Take a rest!" All the people in Yaocheng advised.

He looked at the person who had really made a contribution. Her gentle eyes showed a firmness he had never seen before.

"Go and rest first. The Japanese pirates will not be back for a while. Other women, follow me to cook and celebrate the victory!"

He looked at her back as she was hugged away, and suddenly found that he did not know her at all, and did not know this person next to him at all.

The next day, the soldiers who had been repaired had recovered their spirits, and the tiredness on Jiang Qi's face also subsided. In fact, he did not sleep all night last night, and had been thinking about countermeasures to strengthen the defense of Yaocheng.

"General, are you worried about the people of Yaocheng?"

He saw his wife push open the tent and come in. He didn't know when she started to call her husband again.

He nodded and expressed his worries, "Yaocheng is the closest city to the sea. The Japanese pirates have been coveting this place for a long time and will not give up easily. We still have a long way to go." "

I do have some ideas." Shi Yi put down the food box and told him about the three major strategies he had drawn up.

"Good, really good." After listening, Jiang Qi couldn't help but applaud.

The first is to encourage women to join the army and establish a women's army for defense. The second is to privately make explosives and store them for emergency use. The third is to strengthen weapons and equipment and make the army more refined. No matter which one, it can enhance combat capabilities and defend against Japanese pirates.

It turns out that his wife has been pretending all the time and has long learned General Qi's skills. He really picked up a treasure.

"General, I volunteered to train the women's army." This is what she came for today.

"Yes." Jiang Qi nodded vigorously, believing that it would not take long to eliminate the Japanese pirates.

He has confidence, and she has confidence too.

"Leader, what should we do now?" Ito Shiga's men have lost their backbone and hope that he can come up with a new plan.

"Hide and avoid each other, and we will start a rebellion next time." Ito Shiga's eyes are still full of resentment. Defeat without a fight is the greatest shame for them, the ronin.

"Leader, I have an idea." His staff stood up.

"What's your idea? Tell me about it." He was in a bad mood, so his tone was naturally not very good, but his aide didn't care much about it. He rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that Jiang Qi has a cousin?"

"So what if he has a cousin? Even if he..." Ito Zihe suddenly understood what he meant, retracted his impatience, and humbly asked the other party for advice, "Is there any other relationship between Jiang Qi's cousin and Jiang Qi?"

"Jiang Qi's cousin is a woman that Jiang's mother values. She wants to take her into the Jiang family as a concubine, but Jiang Qi's wife is fierce and will not tolerate anyone else. She wrote a letter of divorce and asked to leave. Jiang's mother sent Jiang Qi's cousin away to calm her anger." The aide looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Chief, think about it, can Jiang Qi's cousin swallow this breath."

Ito Zihe was not as optimistic as he was, and asked back, "What if Jiang Qi's cousin is a hopeless person? Jiang Qi's wife is fierce, you and I have seen and heard about it. We don't know her details, let alone a weak woman."

"Eh~" the staff laughed softly, "You totally underestimate the struggle between women."

"What do you mean?" Ito Shiga's eyes of seeking advice were very useful to the staff. He touched the scar on his wrist and smiled proudly, "Women are the most complicated things in this world. Do you know that they have an old saying called, only villains and women are difficult to raise. If you want to control a woman and let her use us, there are too many ways."

"General, Madam, the letter from Kyoto has arrived." The subordinate pushed open the tent and saw General Jiang and his wife discussing something. He quickly knelt on one knee and presented it with both hands.

After successfully defending the city, Madam Jiang Qi Shiyi became the most famous female general in Yaocheng. Although she has not been officially rewarded, the emperor's praise is known to everyone. Moreover, several new military activities launched by the military camp recently have the shadow of Madam Jiang, and these activities have greatly increased their enthusiasm. Everyone in the military camp has to salute when they see Madam Jiang.

"Leave it there and read it later." Jiang Qi was currently discussing a new battle plan with his wife. He had just come up with some ideas and had no time to take care of a letter.

"Would you like to read it first? It's a family letter." The subordinate knelt forward a few steps, and the letter in his hand was directly in front of him.

"Read it first. Maybe it was written by someone your mother asked to write to you." Shi Yi reminded him.

These days, the two of them ate, lived and trained together, and their relationship had warmed up a lot compared to before. She was also willing to talk more.

"Family letter?" Jiang Qi glanced at her, still confused. There was only a widowed mother in the family, who was illiterate and not good at communicating with outsiders. Where did the family letter come from? But since she had spoken, he might as well take a look. He may have forgotten that his widowed mother had moved into the general's mansion, and there were countless people around her who could do things for her. It was not easy for someone to write a letter.

He took the letter with one hand and tore it open hastily. The letter paper was not thin, but there were many words.

[My son's personal letter:

Everyone in Kyoto knows that your daughter-in-law led the young and old people of Yaocheng to repel the Japanese pirates. The emperor also greatly appreciates it and is waiting for you to return to the capital safely to reward you. Your mother has worked hard all her life, hoping that you will serve the country and live up to the emperor's heart and the people. In ancient times, there were gentlemen who sacrificed their lives for the sake of righteousness. If we can defeat the Japanese pirates today, it will not be important for our Jiang family to have descendants. The march is hard, so please take good care of yourself and support your daughter-in-law, and don't think about anything else.

Mother]

Jiang Qi remembered that when he was a child, his mother went to many families to wash clothes so that he could have enough food. Her only wish at that time was that he could grow up safely, marry a good wife, have a few grandchildren, and let her live out her days in peace.

But now his mother has put the country before her family. How can people not be moved by sacrificing small righteousness for the greater good! His eyes were moist, but he deliberately turned his back.
