Sheng Lingwei pondered for a moment, then looked at Yu Xinqiao.
"Uncle, although I killed the Japanese pirates with lightning this time, the others are still alive and well. If you want to avoid being harassed by the Japanese pirates in the future, you have no choice but to eliminate them completely."
"this……"
Yu Xinqiao's brows furrowed so deeply they were almost knotted together. After thinking for a moment, he could only voice his concerns.
“Miss Sheng, it’s not that we don’t want to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but we are powerless to do so. Firstly, there are less than a hundred able-bodied men in our village; secondly, the sea is vast and we don’t know the exact location of the Japanese pirates.”
Sheng Lingwei smiled.
"Uncle, if you don't have enough men, you can go and find other helpers. I believe that the people in the nearby villages also hate the Japanese pirates as much as your village does."
As for the exact location of the Japanese pirates, I have already found it, so you don't need to worry about that.
Yu Xinqiao was shocked and quickly looked to the others for their opinions.
Yu Guangliang pursed his lips. "Father, what are you still hesitating about? Haven't those Japanese pirates killed enough of our compatriots over the years?"
Hmph, we men should have courage and never forget the deep-seated hatred between us and the Japanese pirates.
Now that we have our boss backing us up, what are we afraid of? We can just take them down and slaughter them to appease our compatriots.
Yu Xinqiao: "..."
After hearing Yu Guangliang's words, the other young men's eyes turned red, filled with endless anger and hatred.
“Guangliang is right, village chief. Let’s take this opportunity to fight back against the Japanese pirates. My parents died under their blades! I must avenge them myself.”
“Village chief, I agree to fight back against the Japanese pirates. Over the years, countless people in our Tianxin Village have died or been injured. The culprits are all the Japanese pirates. I want to kill them all at all times.”
"Village chief, we all agree to fight back against the Japanese pirates. Just give the order! We are not afraid of life or death."
"Yes, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of not being able to avenge ourselves. Even if we die, we must kill a few Japanese pirates before we can die in peace."
"..."
After hearing everyone's statements, Yu Xinqiao's eyes welled up with tears, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, none of us from Tianxin Village are cowards. I've decided to lead you in fighting back against the Japanese pirates and avenging the dead people of Tianxin Village."
The crowd immediately raised their arms and shouted, "Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"
Sheng Lingwei nodded to herself.
In fact, she could have killed all the Japanese pirates on that island by herself, but she did not intend to do so this time.
She had her own considerations, after all, she planned to cooperate with Tianxin Village on seafood products in the future.
Out of respect for Yu Guangliang, she wouldn't do anything to the people of Tianxin Village, but she was still not entirely at ease with their character; they would at least have to pass her test.
Well, so far it seems pretty good.
They possess the courage and spirit of men, and are not the kind of cowards who fear death.
...
Having decided to fight back against the Japanese pirates.
Yu Xinqiao made a decisive decision and immediately instructed the able-bodied men to go to the surrounding villages to communicate about fighting back against the Japanese pirates.
This concerns everyone's deep-seated hatred and their future peaceful lives.
If any village is unwilling to send people, then they will definitely look down on those people and will never have any dealings with them again.
Because the commotion in Tianxin Village was so great, the news reached the county magistrate's ears that very evening.
Tianxin Village is located in Xikou County, which has eight villages and a small county town.
Tao Kuang, the magistrate of Xikou County, was a fat man in his forties. During his tenure, he did nothing but collude with Japanese pirates, allowing them to burn, kill, and plunder in Xikou County.
He used the kickbacks from the Japanese pirates to fatten up his family and live a very happy life!
Their various evil deeds have earned them the deep hatred of the people.
But there was nothing they could do; a higher-ranking official could crush a lower one, and the people under their jurisdiction could only bury the seeds of hatred in their hearts.
But this seed will one day take root and sprout.
Tao Kuang learned of the people's movements so quickly because a few worthless individuals volunteered to act as his eyes and ears in order to curry favor with him.
Tao Kuang was both angry and anxious when he learned the news.
Upon further questioning, he learned that it was someone from Tianxin Village who had acted as an intermediary. He immediately led his soldiers and guards to Tianxin Village in a grand procession.
The Japanese pirates were his partners, and he would never allow these lowly people to ruin his wealth and status, much less allow them to rebel under his nose.
Damn it, lowly people are just lowly people. They don't have that much ability, yet they try to rebel like others. He'll see if their lives are enough for him to kill.
When the group of about a hundred people arrived at Tianxin Village, it was already broad daylight.
A loud, alarming cry shattered the morning's tranquility.
"Something terrible has happened! The county magistrate has come to the village with his soldiers."
Tianxin Village is neither very big nor very small.
But everyone in the village could hear this, thanks to Yu Guangliang, who made a simple megaphone at the village entrance.
After all, Japanese pirates could attack the village at any time, so having such a megaphone was more beneficial than harmful, as it could get the message to everyone more quickly.
The people of Tianxin Village were visibly shaken and immediately gathered the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, women, and children together for protection.
The less than one hundred able-bodied men, armed with the weapons of the Japanese pirates, quickly arrived at the village entrance, glaring menacingly at the county magistrate and his entourage.
The magistrate stood at the very front, surrounded by soldiers and his men, all armed and with an air of superiority.
Ha, ugly people always cause trouble!
Yu Xinqiao's face was icy cold.
After last night, he had figured it out: rather than being oppressed and hurt by the Japanese pirates and the county magistrate time and time again, it was better to stand up and bravely resist.
Either way, it's all the same – death.
Another thing is that last night, they learned about Miss Sheng's true identity, which really gave them a big shock.
Miss Sheng... oh no, Princess Chang Le said that if they didn't want to stay in Chaozhou, she could take them to live in her fiefdom.
Not only will they build houses for them free of charge, but they will also distribute land to them and arrange jobs, so they will never go hungry.
Honestly, most people in their village were tempted.
With Princess Chang Le's words, the heavy burden on their shoulders seemed to disappear, and they figured out many things in one night.
How should I put it?
It was an honor for them that Princess Chang Le was willing to be their support, but they could not rely on the princess too much and had to stand on their own two feet.
They absolutely must not let the princess look down on them.
Therefore, after a night of reflection, everyone in Tianxin Village underwent a qualitative change, and their spirit and energy were completely different from before.
Putting everything else aside, just look at that hunched back; it's already straightened up.
No, it should be said that after years of hardship, they encountered a ray of light, and that ray of light was Princess Chang Le who saved them.
Congratulations! They... have finally come back to life.
Looking at the people of Tianxin Village who were so different from before, Tao Kuang had a bad feeling.
He could clearly sense that these people were no longer under his control.
What should we do?
