Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

What Zhu Liang'ao brought this time were his direct subordinates, the most elite [-]-scale armored army in Ganhu City, Pengcheng.

The Daxia scale armor is made up of more than eight pieces of iron armor leaves, leather strips or nails.

The full armor plus helmet weighs 37 kilograms. If weapons are added, the whole body weight reaches nearly [-] kilograms.

Ordinary soldiers simply cannot bear such a load, let alone wear it for battle.

Hou Yao looked at such an elite unit and his mouth watered. How could these be 300 people? They were simply heavy tanks from the cold weapon era.

Although Li Kangsheng himself did not come, sending such a force proved that he still valued Hou Yao's relationship quite seriously.

But think about it, you can't just ignore it. If you don't cooperate well with the 100 million silver taels every year, how can you have the nerve to take the money?

Under the leadership of Zhou Tiesheng, everyone approached the village again. Zhu Liang'ao, who was so far away, stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Sir, this is not a village, it is... a Japanese pirates' military camp."

Hou Yao was stunned. Why would there be a Japanese pirate camp in Wutong Mountain?

"Are you sure you read it right?"

Zhu Liangao nodded affirmatively:

"You can't be wrong. I have killed at least eight thousand Japanese pirates over the years, if not ten thousand.

They call this a village, which is very different from the way we build fences in Daxia. "

Hou Yao was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect to find that this wild village turned out to be a ghost village. There was nothing to hesitate about. He immediately ordered:

"Zhu Ganhu, then I'll leave this place to you. Don't leave anyone behind. Kill them. You must not let anyone go."

Zhu Liang'ao took the order and left, and then began to arrange the attack strategy.

There is only one entrance to this village. In order to reduce casualties, Zhu Liang'ao did not let the dozens of policemen in the yamen participate in the battle to attack the village.

Instead, they wandered around to prevent the scattered Japanese pirates from escaping.

With a sound of rushing, three hundred wolf-like and tiger-like scale armor troops rushed towards the Japanese pirates' stronghold.

Hou Yao thought this would be an easy one-sided massacre.

However, at this moment, gunshots pierced the sky.

'Boom, boom boom...'

'Boom, boom boom...'

It almost makes people's jaws drop. The Japanese pirates in this village actually have matchlock guns.

Everyone was shocked, but fortunately, the scale armor army came, and the power of the shotgun was not strong enough to penetrate the thick scale armor.

Withstanding the attack of matchlock guns, the three hundred scale-armored troops finally rushed into the stronghold. After splitting open the stronghold gate, the people rushed in like tigers rushing into a herd of sheep.

In close combat, the power of the scale armor army was revealed. The Japanese pirates raised their Japanese swords to fight against them.

But soon a large number of them were killed by the scale armor army.

Without armor to protect themselves, and unable to attack the key points of the scale armor army, seeing that they were unable to defeat the scale armor army, the remaining Japanese slaves retreated to the depths of the stronghold.

Not long after, they came back and killed a middle-aged man, two old men and dozens of boys, apparently trying to break out of the encirclement.

How could Zhu Liang'ao let him succeed, so he commanded the scale army to defend in an orderly manner, waiting for them to rush up and die.

"Eight grids——."

The last Japanese pirate holding a sword shouted and rushed towards the scale army.

The Japanese sword struck the helmet of a scale-armored soldier,

There was a crisp sound, and you could even see sparks and sparks being brought up when gold and iron collided, but unfortunately, the soldiers under the protection of the iron helmet were not hurt in the end.

Then the soldier just threw the Yanling knife forward and killed him.

All the young men who dared to resist have been killed, and Zhu Liang'ao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I came here by myself. If it had been ordinary soldiers, the casualties would have been huge.

Even so, more than 60 people were slightly injured and two were seriously injured, but no one died.

However, six people will have to retire even after their injuries have healed, which is also a big loss.

Hou Yao brought all the agents into the stronghold to clean up the battlefield.

Wei Daxing found among the corpses of these Japanese pirates the two men in black that Zhou Tiesheng chased that day.

From the houses in the village, we counted more than 170 matchlock guns, more than [-] rounds of ammunition, some food and other supplies, but not much property.

It seems like people here don't go out and trade with others easily.

An altar was also found behind the village, on which a human-like ghost statue was enshrined.

There was a young girl lying naked on the altar in front of the altar. All her limbs had been chopped off, her eyes had been gouged out, and her tongue had been cut out.

There was no task response when I called her, so I guess she couldn't hear it either.The lower body was stained with blood and there were obvious signs of being violated.

After careful comparison, this girl should be the girl who disappeared just now.

Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely angry. These Japanese pirates were completely heartless.

I wish I could pull these Japanese pirates out and kill them again.

Zhou Tiesheng then found a hand-excavated cave behind the altar. There were dozens of miners and a foreigner in the cave.

In addition, there are several women who are the same as the girl on the altar table, and they are all pregnant.

After investigation, it was discovered that this cave turned out to be a small iron mine.

After asking the miners, I learned that the longest they have been digging here is nearly 20 years.

The foreigner is the only blacksmith here, and he has been captured for almost 20 years. The matchlock gun was made by him.

At this time, the only middle-aged man who did not resist was brought to Hou Yao.

Hou Yao's anger towards this group of people had reached its extreme, and he slapped him in the face with all his strength:

"If you didn't just stay in Japan, why did you come to Daxia? You were not honest when you came here, and you dared to brutally kill innocent girls.

You humanoid beasts, one day I will destroy your entire country and kill all the men on your island. "

The middle-aged man bowed his head honestly and said:

"I'm sorry. It was a villain who brought disaster to your country. I am willing to die to apologize."

"Death to apologize? Who do you think you are? With one life you can offset the countless girls you have kidnapped in the past 30 years?

They all got the same fate, right? "

"I'm sorry, Ouchi Yoshitsune is willing to die to apologize."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Hou Yao again.

When Hou Yao heard the name Ouchi Yoshizono, he suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Are you the son of Japanese daimyo Ouchi Yoshitaka? Are these people your samurai?"

Ouchi Yoshitsune bowed again and said:

"Hi, Yoshitaka Ouchi is my father, but he died in the rebellion of his subordinates 30 years ago.

I was only five years old at the time. After being captured by the rebels and occasionally hearing the news that they were going to execute me, I crawled out of the dog hole under the city.

After running away for two days and two nights, I escaped to the seaside and met the rebel Shirai clan. They captured me. I thought they would send me back to Tao Longfang.

But it didn’t happen. Later, Sagara Takenobu’s two sons found me and brought me here. I have been nothing but their puppet over the years.

They want to use my name to fight back, take back the territory of the Ouchi family, and avenge their father. "

Hou Yao only knew that Ouchi was a relatively powerful daimyo in Japan's early Warring States period, but he didn't know much about what happened specifically.

"Assuming that what you said is true, then why did you torture and kill the girls of Daxia Kingdom?"

"Hi, this is a blessing ceremony. The altar is dedicated to Izanami, the creation goddess in our Japanese mythology.

Because he lost his beauty after death, he was abandoned by Izanagi, and finally turned into the god of the underworld.

Legend has it that she is the most perfect goddess. As long as her beauty is returned, she will give the mother the most perfect life.

They believe that by removing a girl's extra organs, they only need to retain a beautiful face and fertility.

The strongest samurai will be born if they have sex at the altar of Izanami. "

After hearing this, Hou Yao felt his scalp numb, and he felt that even if he killed these Japanese people ten thousand times, he would not be able to satisfy his hatred.

"Is this the reason why you harm people?"

Ouchi Yoshitsune bowed and apologized again:

"I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to stop their atrocities."

Hou Yao pointed to the dozens of children and asked:

"Are all the children over there born this way? Why are there only boys? What about the girls?"

"Girls are considered unclean and are sent back to the arms of the God of Hell."

"You are worse than animals. These two old men are also Japanese, right? What do they do?"

"They are historians brought by Sagara Keitaka from Japan, and they are the teachers who teach these children Japanese history."

Hou Yao glanced at Zhou Tiesheng beside him.

Zhou Tiesheng walked up knowingly and killed the two old guys with one blow.

Hou Yao asked bitterly:

"You said all this was caused by the two beasts of the Sagara family? Where are they?"

Ouchi Yoshitsune shook his head:

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know where they are. Sagara Kageyama and Sagara Kagetaka only come back occasionally.

However, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, people arranged by them would come to replenish the mountains with food, charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur and other supplies.

Tomorrow is March [-]th, and people will come to replenish supplies. "

Hou Yao was shocked, Xiangliang Jingshan, Xiangliang Jinglong?Are these two names a coincidence or...?

No, it's not a coincidence. Someone must have helped them get their household registration.

It should be the Chen family. They have colluded with the Chen family for a long time, so their relationship has been established at least 30 years ago.

Now how to do?Li Jingfeng is okay, but Li Jingshan has official identity protection. How can we catch him?

And it has to be faster, the longer it takes, the more dangerous it is.

Hou Yao thought for a long time and finally decided to lure the snake out of its hole.

In order to take revenge, these two people worked hard here for 30 years. They must have valued the identity of Ouchi Yoshitsune very much.

If this is the case, use this Ouchi Yoshizono to lure them out.

After making up his mind, Hou Yao ordered his people to take Ouchi Yoshin into custody first, and then he arrested all the Japanese pirates who were not dead yet.

Among the dozens of children, the older ones with hatred in their eyes were separated, tied up, and taken away together.

The remaining children were too young and ignorant, so they were sent to almshouses.

The rescued miners were let go, and those who could go home went home. Those who couldn't went home followed them back to the Yamen. The foreign Japanese were also taken back to the Yamen first.

As for this iron mine, it is natural to temporarily seal it and slowly find ways to develop it.

How to deal with the remaining young pregnant girls really put Hou Yao into a dilemma... .
