Chapter 488: The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (16)

"General, we have investigated the fishermen who have not returned from the sea." Jiang Qi's subordinates presented him with the results of their recent investigation.

Jiang Qi did not accept it, but asked directly: "What is it?"

"It's pirates." His subordinates were used to his unconventional personality and took the results back. Fortunately, these things were actually investigated by their group, so it was easy to narrate them orally.

"Pirates? This is a place where fishermen go out to sea to fish all year round. Where did the pirates come from?" Jiang Qi's questioning eyes were just like how they felt when they found out the real results of the investigation.

"It's the escaped Japanese pirates who gathered with the refugees and fled to the sea to commit crimes. Fishermen originally made a living by fishing at sea, but now they dare not go out to sea because of the invasion of pirates. It is difficult to make a living, and everyone is complaining."

"Have you found the places where they often commit crimes?"

"No." The subordinate was embarrassed, "These Japanese pirates are cunning by nature. They commit crimes everywhere but are always cautious and have never let people find their hiding places."

"The main force of the Japanese pirates has been eliminated by us. I don't believe that we can't subdue the last point. Find a few soldiers with strong martial arts and good swimming skills to disguise as fishermen with me, lure the snakes out of the hole, and then catch them all in one net, leaving no harm!" Jiang Qi's face was cold, and his fists clenched and creaked.

Ito Zihe, he must be the one making trouble behind the scenes! The leader of the Japanese pirates, if he is not caught, it can't be considered to be truly eliminated!

"Yes." The subordinate bowed and left the tent, and his peripheral vision caught Cai Lian standing outside the door again.

Cai Lian is also very persistent. Since the lady escorted the general's cousin's body back to Kyoto, she has come here every day to guard the general. If someone doesn't know, they might think she has some thoughts about the general.

"General!" Cai Lian saw someone coming out and immediately went in.

"Cai Lian, I have to take care of military affairs now, you should go and take care of your own things." Cai Lian came every day, and Jiang Qi couldn't get rid of her no matter what he said, which also gave Jiang Qi a headache.

"General, I don't do anything every day, I just want to talk to you about the lady." Cai Lian was not afraid of Jiang Qi's stinky face. She just felt sorry for the lady. She wanted to talk to Jiang Qi more about what the lady did when he was away.

"There will be plenty of time in the future. Now the pirates have not been eliminated and the people cannot live and work in peace. How can I, a great general, delay state affairs because of my own family affairs!" Jiang Qi was righteous and awe-inspiring, and Cai Lian was at a loss for words.

"Okay. When you are not so busy, I will tell you something important."

This important matter was also something she combined with many clues to figure out.

"Okay. You go out first."

"Yes. I'll go out." Jiang Qi didn't see Cai Lian's worried look when she went out. He just felt surprised that she was so easy to get rid of this time.

The next day.

"Are you ready?" Jiang Qi, wearing fisherman's clothes, stood in a hidden corner and asked his subordinates. His subordinates were dressed like him, all dressed like fishermen, with their arms exposed and loose light-colored pants underneath.

"Ready! There are four fishing boats in total, with four people on each fishing boat, arranged in four places. Everyone uses flares to communicate. If one side is attacked, everyone comes to support."

"Okay, Bajiao, Chenpi, Huasheng and I will be on the same boat." Jiang Qi pointed at the people, put on a bamboo hat and got on the fishing boat.

Today's weather is a bit gloomy, giving people a bad premonition. I hope their voyage this time will be smooth.

"Brother, why haven't we seen it for so long since we went out to sea..." Bajiao was just saying this, and the people on the fishing boat saw a small boat coming from the distance.

"Could that be?" Chen Pi, the little man on the boat, just spoke when the fishing boat capsized and everyone on the boat fell into the water. He was stabbed in the stomach by a dagger before he could struggle and died. The bright red sea water stimulated everyone's nerves.

"Kill!" Shankou Chen Tiao, who was ambushing in the water, led his companions to break out of the water. Each of them hugged a "fisherman" and prepared to cut him, but the scene suddenly reversed.

"Bang." The signal flare was launched into the air, making a loud noise.

"Quick, quick! The Japanese pirates are coming!" The other disguised soldiers hurriedly rowed the fishing boat to the place where the signal flare was launched.

"Try to capture them alive!" Jiang Qi removed the hand of the Japanese pirate who broke into his hand, and his face was as gloomy as the color of the sea.

These Japanese pirates are born shameless. The people along the coast have always kept their distance from them, but they just want to come and burn, kill and rob. After being defeated by him, they still want to stir up trouble on the sea and affect the lives of fishermen. It's rampant! He will enforce justice today.

"There's an ambush!" Yamaguchi Chen Tiao realized it later and found that he couldn't run away. He was targeted by Jiang Qi.

"Want to run? No way." Jiang Qi used his superb swimming ability to dive into the water and grabbed his feet. He remembered clearly that this Japanese pirate often appeared beside Ito Zihe, and it was very likely that he was Ito Zihe's confidant. As long as he was caught, there would be no problem finding Ito's hiding place.

After a fierce battle in the water, the Japanese pirates suffered heavy casualties, but Yamaguchi Chen Tiao relied on his shamelessness and shamelessness to pull his companions to take the blame for him and escaped.

"General, I didn't catch him!" Bajiao was a little discouraged, but Jiang Qi patted him on the shoulder several times, "It's a good thing to be alive!" When the others saw the dead body of Chen Pi lying on the ground, they all drooped their shoulders. It was because they didn't react quickly enough that their companions were injured by the Japanese pirates!

"Chen Pi died in the line of duty and was awarded the third-class merit." Jiang Qi made the final decision, and the others were happy. Third-class merit, how many soldiers have fought all their lives but never got it, with this third-class merit, Chen Pi's widowed mother and sister at home will be able to survive.

"General, these Japanese pirates are like water monsters, each of them can move freely in the water, it's simply too weird." Someone raised the core issue.

"These Japanese pirates must have practiced hard, and we must also strengthen the soldiers' training in water. Otherwise, the next time we fight at sea, we are very likely to be defeated by these Japanese pirates." Jiang Qi saw it with his own eyes and naturally understood what he said, and thought more long-term.

"The general is right. These Japanese pirates are born thieves. As long as they are not eradicated, we must be vigilant in all aspects! Training soldiers for naval battles is very necessary!" Everyone looked solemn, because they didn't want to see such a day again.

Jiang Qi personally closed Chen Pi's eyes, turned around and left, but his steps were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The Japanese pirates are cunning by nature, how could they be easily eliminated by a few of them! But this time they have made a fuss, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lure them to do it next time.

Alas, when will these Japanese pirates be eliminated?
