I knew it would be terrible, but I never imagined it would be this terrible.
The coastal area was devastated for thousands of miles.
In my early years, I had heard that there were always Japanese pirates causing trouble along the coast, but the rebellion never became big.
I never thought that even Jiangzhou, which is not a coastal area, would be affected.
There were even Japanese pirates who teamed up with the local young and strong men to attack together.
For the Jiangnan region, this was a great catastrophe and disaster, especially for the ordinary people.
But for the Japanese pirates, it was not a serious blow to the Jiangnan families. It could even be said to be a carnival.
The Japanese pirates advanced rapidly. They were well-trained, organized into military formations, and attacked in a very methodical manner.
In name they were bandits, but in reality they were already a fully formed army.
Moreover, they also reached a very special tacit understanding with the local wealthy families, and the wealthy families all lived in the fortress.
The forts were extremely strong, and they had farmhands and young strong men at their disposal, so they could be defended like castles. Without cannons, it would be extremely difficult to attack them.
Therefore, many Japanese pirates marched straight in like flowing water, but when they encountered the strongholds of powerful families, they took a detour and did not force an attack.
Ordinary people in the local area organized themselves into scattered militias. However, these people had no military training, no martial arts skills, and no knowledge of weapons. No matter how many of them gathered together, they were still a mob and were killed in large numbers.
But the Japanese pirates will never be able to occupy this area. If the fort is not removed, the wealthy families from all over the place will reappear after the Japanese pirates leave.
They will occupy a wider area of uninhabited land and hold a carnival on this land.
Perhaps the only ones who are harmed are the civilians who have lived on this land for a long time. Just like the weeds in winter, a spark will burn all the weeds clean, and they will grow again the next day.
It was like an enlarged version of a flood, something that had happened countless times on this land.
The darkness is real darkness, and it is things like this that make me realize that I can never stand on the same front with them.
I organized knights from all over the country to fight against the Japanese pirates together.
Starting from Jianyi, move forward along the branches of Ganjiang River, cross the Yangtze River, and even reach the coast.
Many knowledgeable people also joined the team, including soldiers from the army, as well as people from the Six Gates of the Yamen and even the Jinyiwei who changed their appearance and joined.
There are many people in the world who have hot blood in their hearts and whose blood is still hot.
They are just scattered, like the homes of thousands of people on a winter night. The scattered lights shine, but they cannot illuminate the entire dark night.
But the passion will still exist and will not disappear.
Maybe it was because of Rui Hai’s book, which was the best in the world, or maybe it was because I, a master-level figure, was leading the way.
When sparks come together, they can have the power to set the sky ablaze.
There are not many core figures within the Japanese pirates, especially those who have penetrated deep into the Jiangzhou area.
Most of them were young thugs like the grain ship gang. Seeing the chaotic situation, they took the initiative to blend in, or burned, killed, looted and robbed the spoils in the name of Japanese pirates.
It is not difficult to sweep the area of Jiangzhou. The highest level of Japanese pirates encountered are only masters. My Tiangang Guiyuan and Taishang Sansheng Jieyuan Miaojing have both entered the master level.
After sweeping Jiangzhou, I continued to move forward, but also encountered huge differences.
Local people in Jiangzhou, as well as many people who joined later, wanted to stop there.
Many of them just wanted to drive the bandits out of Jiangzhou, but as for other places farther away, they were unable to do so.
They don't want to die in a foreign land.
At the same time, it was also because of the rewards from the court. Each person in it had a corresponding position and was allocated enough land, so they could have enough food and clothing, and even provide for their descendants.
After all, we are not a regular army. The court will take care of the affairs of the world. The people of Yunzhou can only see the three acres of land in front of them, and are only willing to fight and strive for the three acres of land in front of them.
There are more than 2,000 core members who still support me, and the rest have disbanded.
I didn't care, but the thought was still in my mind, perhaps because I was thinking of the Japanese pirates in the history of China.
Of course I would like to kill more if I have the chance.
I still led many militiamen and rangers down all the way until we reached the coast and met real opponents.
I also understand why many wealthy families did not take action.
The other side was well-trained and formed teams of five people. Some were responsible for defense, some were responsible for attack, some were responsible for treatment, and there were even special people responsible for counting the results of the battle.
They were not the Japanese pirates as the official authorities despised them, but had undergone sufficient training to be called an army.
Their weapons and armor all have standard specifications.
Unlike the Daxia sword, the blade is long and narrow, similar to the Tang sword of the past, but it is two centimeters longer and thinner.
Most of their armor is paper or leather, and there are also demons mixed in their ranks.
As a human being, he actually associates with demons.
In a team of five, there is usually a corresponding water demon or other demon, and the team has suffered heavy losses.
I encountered a master-level demon in the enemy team, who was actually a human-demon hybrid.
Of course, the Japanese pirates called him God and the Son of God.
I killed a son of God.
When Zhang Mingtu saw this and the plain and straightforward language, his heart was shocked.
A master-level human-demon hybrid was killed so casually by the future brother. This future brother was truly unstoppable.
But at the same time, Zhang Mingtu also felt sad and depressed.
The real armies in various places have never taken action. Relying solely on scattered soldiers to confront the enemy's organized army is bound to be a tragedy.
He thought that those wealthy families would do many terrible and dark things, but in the face of national hatred and family feuds, he felt that these wealthy families would take action.
At least they are closely related to the fate of the country.
It was unexpected that they did not even stop the invasion of Japanese pirates in large numbers.
"I have imagined them dark enough, but their darkness is still beyond my imagination."
Zhang Mingtu sighed inwardly, calmed down, and continued reading.
…
My raid went quite smoothly, but it eventually came to an end and I was betrayed.
When everything was going smoothly, especially since I, an outsider, had achieved quite brilliant results, the local powerful families finally couldn't stand it anymore.
They sent out troops from the fort, wanting to join forces with me to drive out the Japanese pirates. I didn't think too much of it, after all, I had already given up much hope in them.
The joint plan went quite smoothly. They used me as bait to hold back the main force of the Japanese pirates, and then they formed an encirclement and wiped out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.
In the end, I went there, but they didn't come.
Remember, this is the list of joint actions, and next brother, don’t make this mistake.
Zhang Mingtu was shocked.
