As Li Chang'an had predicted, the outcome was exactly as he had anticipated.
Compared to the openness of the Japanese pirates, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were rather hesitant.
After all, it was a marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers.
They were somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of these female prisoners.
These Japanese pirates had their eyes gleaming with greed, wishing they could immediately strip naked and crawl into the soldiers' beds.
The more the female Japanese pirates spent with these warriors, the more they felt that these armored soldiers were a treasure trove.
Those men from island nations are simply not worthy of being compared to them.
They are not only rich, but they also treat women with exceptional respect. Most importantly, these men are actually responsible for women.
He would not share his woman with other men, nor would he mistreat her.
They would never resort to violence to vent their anger just because they are in a bad mood.
This gentle behavior aroused some jealousy among the prisoners.
They were jealous of the women of the Ming Dynasty, who were born with such good men.
In particular, one female prisoner of war, after marrying a wounded soldier with disabilities in both legs, directly enjoyed the benefits of a military dependent.
Not only can they receive wages, but they can also enjoy equal treatment.
They even allocated a large plot of land in Miyazaki for the two of them to farm and build houses.
This female prisoner of war no longer has to work under the sun; she only needs to take care of soldiers with mobility issues to receive a military dependent subsidy for free.
Although the money wasn't much, the difference in status it brought made the female prisoner burst into tears that very day.
She kept saying that she wanted to be a woman of the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of treatment made everyone else incredibly envious.
They each used every trick in the book to please the wounded soldiers, hoping to become one of their concubines.
After dealing with the prisoner-of-war camp, Li Chang'an transformed into his armor and flew back to the front lines.
We're almost at Osaka now, and next we'll attack the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, which is under the control of Emperor Tamin.
Because of the continuous fighting, Li Chang'an allowed his soldiers to rest for a while, and he took the opportunity to return to Miyazaki to deal with the prisoners.
These days, the soldiers have been fighting like madmen.
Apart from the elderly, weak, women and disabled, they basically killed all the other Japanese pirates.
In the eyes of soldiers, any man from an island nation is an enemy, a source of military merit, and a goldmine.
As for those women, they didn't even deign to lay a hand on them.
The pride of warriors prevents them from killing even the weakest of the weak, who are powerless to kill.
When Li Chang'an returned to the military camp, several generals were having a meal together.
Having won the battle, they were in much better spirits.
Even Li Yunlong and his men were all smiles.
After these days of training, the group of men had basically figured out how to use the tank.
Now they're just waiting for the war to end here so they can go back and wipe out the Japanese devils in their own world.
Li Yunlong took a sip of wine, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He was reluctant to part with the brothers he had met here, but also reluctant to let go of his comrades from the original world.
He felt very comfortable spending the past few days with Li Chang'an.
It's mainly because it's just to my liking.
Whether it's temperament or some of their ideas, they often find themselves in agreement.
Li Yunlong had wanted to exterminate the Japanese pirates for a long time.
In his original world, there were too many rules and regulations that prevented him from acting as recklessly as Li Chang'an.
He talks a big game, as if he's only afraid of the brigade commander.
But in Lao Li's heart, he was even more afraid of the commander-in-chief and the division commander.
He was also terrified of the other political commissars and deputy general managers.
He only dared to laugh and complain a few times when he saw the brigade commander frequently.
If he were to run into those guys from headquarters, Li Yunlong wouldn't dare say a word.
As soon as I entered the headquarters and heard someone call my name, my legs started trembling.
There was nothing he could do. The people inside were all war gods. Whether it was seniority or battle record, Li Yunlong really wasn't qualified.
The brigade commander, on the other hand, was different; he longed to go back.
He wanted to take the tank that Li Chang'an had given him back to his original world immediately.
This way, we can defeat the Japanese invaders more quickly and reduce casualties among civilians and our comrades.
It can also accelerate national rejuvenation and lead us to the top of the world.
Besides these, he also wanted to tell his revolutionary comrades the news that the Chinese nation would be victorious.
He wanted to tell his comrades about the future that Li Chang'an had described.
To be honest, after fighting for so long, most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers were prepared to fight to the death, feeling that this was a do-or-die battle.
The comparison with some Western countries, in particular, left many soldiers feeling somewhat confused.
I've always felt that my country is too backward, and that I'll never catch up with those Western powers in my lifetime.
The brigade commander once thought that he could drive the Japanese out of China, defeat Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, and lead China to victory.
However, he never imagined that his nation could surpass most of the Western powers in just eighty years and prepare to reach the top of the world.
This was something the brigade commander dared not even think about.
So he really wanted to tell his comrades this news.
The brigade commander dedicated his entire life to fighting for his country and his people.
Compared to Li Yunlong, he was more pure-hearted. As long as the nation prospers and the country becomes strong, he would not hesitate to die immediately.
Therefore, he would not say a word about Li Chang'an's massacre and would have no opinion whatsoever.
In the brigade commander's mind, as long as the country is strong, he can bear the infamy of being a butcher.
He would be willing to be cursed for a thousand or ten thousand years.
Kong Jie, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts. Before the brigade commander arrived, he had some ulterior motives.
After the brigade commander arrived, he had no choice but to obey orders.
He did whatever the brigade commander said, and he just followed the brigade commander's orders.
Ding Wei, on the other hand, had an inscrutable look in his eyes, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He glanced at his two comrades from time to time, his eyes showing some struggle.
He was not afraid of dying on the battlefield.
Therefore, he wanted his two comrades-in-arms, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, to live to be a hundred years old.
A golden light streaked across the military camp, exciting the soldiers.
After resting for three or four days, their long knives were itching to be used again.
They simply dared not act without the prince's permission.
