Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation
Chapter 217: The grudge-bearing commander-in-chief returns in triumph, shocking the whole city.
A few days later, in the southern capital, at the residence of the Southern Zhili Commander
"Master, Aunt Zhao wants to see you!"
A servant came to report to the commander-in-chief Tan Song.
"Let her in."
Not long after, a delicate little woman came into the main courtyard crying. It was his concubine, Aunt Zhao.
"Master! Master! You have to make the decision for me!"
Aunt Zhao started crying as soon as she came in.
"Oh, what happened?"
Tan Song said with great interest.
He always liked the women in his backyard to compete for his favor. In his spare time, he was happy to judge such cases and enjoy the power like a god or emperor in front of these women.
"Master! That Songhu Lieutenant General is so unreasonable. He suddenly accused my father of collaborating with the Japanese and arrested him!"
Nandu is four or five hundred miles away from Songhu. The servants of Captain Zhao's mansion only delivered the news to Aunt Zhao today.
"what!"
Tan Song was so shocked that he stood up suddenly.
Collaborating with the Japanese is a serious crime that involves three clans.
Although it will not implicate his daughter who married out, he is afraid that his political opponents will take advantage of the situation. If things go wrong, even he will be implicated.
Based on his understanding of Zheng Yuannai, it should not be a false accusation.
But Zheng Yuannai arrested the man suddenly without informing him beforehand. He totally did not consider the position of his superior. It was unknown whether it was an unintentional mistake or intentional!
"Come here! Go to Songhu Camp and tell Lieutenant General Zheng Yuannai to send the suspect Zhao Qianhu and the evidence of his crimes to Nandu. I want to investigate it myself!"
Anyone can communicate with the Japanese, except Captain Zhao.
It would be fine if Zheng Yuannai's mistake was unintentional, but if anyone dared to stop him from cleaning up the mess, he would definitely not be polite.
However, not long after the person who went to Songhu to deliver the message left, a letter from Zheng Yuannai arrived from the Songhu camp.
After reading the contents of the document, Tan Song's face suddenly turned pale and he slammed the desk in anger:
"You deserve to die!"
Zheng Yuannai, this bastard, actually used the excuse that "the battle is imminent and the danger in the rear of Songhu must be eliminated" to execute Captain Zhao first and report later. He directly announced the evidence of Captain Zhao's crimes in public and killed him!
In this way, it was directly proved that Captain Zhao was colluding with the Japanese, and the news was widely publicized in the army, making it impossible for him to cover it up!
This bastard doesn't take his superior seriously at all!
In all his years as an official, he had never seen such an arrogant subordinate.
At this moment, the commander-in-chief wished he could cut Zheng Yuannai into pieces.
What’s hateful is that after issuing the letter, this guy led his troops out to the sea to wipe out the Japanese pirates. He couldn’t even call people over to scold them or punish them with excuses.
It took Tan Song half a day to calm down and send people to the Songhu camp to inquire about the details.
A few days later, the people who went to Songhu Shadong Fort came back, and Tan Song learned that Zheng Yuannai had received help from the gods and had eliminated all the Japanese pirates without a single soldier. This was known to everyone in the army.
Tan Song didn't believe a word of this.
If there really are gods in the world who can judge the good and evil of officials, then people like him should have died thousands of times ago.
However, in fact, he was promoted all the way to the second rank by virtue of his family background!
Judging from his experience, this must be a trick by that bastard Zheng Yuannai to make a name for himself.
What he cared more about was the result of Zheng Yuannai's voyage and island landing operations.
If we can really win, we will not only have unprecedented military achievements, but also obtain valuable spoils.
At that time, he, as the superior, must get the biggest sum.
He didn't care how much Zheng Yuannai gave to his subordinates, he had to take 70%.
Thirty percent was handed over to the court, and forty percent he kept for himself.
In this matter, if Zheng Yuannai could be sensible, he could forgive his previous arrogance.
But if he remains as stubborn as a rock, he will make sure he dies without a burial place.
*
After half a month's sailing and three days of hard fighting, Zheng Yuannai and his soldiers and civilians finally captured and wiped out all the Japanese pirates on Glass Island.
All the captured civilians on the island, both men and women, were released.
There are more than a thousand of these people.
Some of those who have been captured have been here for two or three years, while some, like Zhong Sanlang and his group, have been here for more than half a year.
During this long period of time, they were deeply enslaved and tortured by the Japanese pirates, witnessed the deaths of many of their companions, and endured great pain themselves.
Many people live a numb life, neither human nor ghost.
When they learned that it was the government army that had defeated the Japanese pirates, the people were stunned for a long time, and then they burst into tears of joy.
They are saved!
Everyone was grateful to the young and brave General Zheng and his troops in Songhu.
Although many soldiers and civilians who participated in the war were injured, and nearly a hundred people died in the battle, everyone had a happy smile on their face!
They won!
They successfully rescued the captured civilians and their loved ones, and completely eradicated this group of evil Japanese pirates.
Moreover, the harvest from this battle was extremely rich!
The Japanese pirate force on Glass Island is very wealthy.
From the cave where they hid their treasures, they carried out more than a dozen boxes containing gold, silver and jade artifacts alone.
Among these, 30% will be distributed to them!
Zheng Yuannai made a rough estimate and concluded that the gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings seized on the island were conservatively worth at least three hundred thousand taels.
In addition, there are two warships and six merchant ships.
Zheng Yuannai took them all away without any hesitation.
The ships are now used to transport spoils of war, captured pirates, and rescued civilians, and can be converted into warships in the future.
This time, not only did we win a great victory, but we also returned with a full load.
When the fleet returned, there was a favorable wind and they arrived in ten days.
A fleet of more than ten large ships went upstream from the estuary into the river and arrived at the dock under the city of Songhu, attracting the attention of many people.
When people saw the Japanese pirate captives being escorted off the ship and the heads of the Japanese pirates held by the soldiers, they realized that
Their lieutenant general in Songhu actually took his soldiers out to sea and attacked the Japanese pirates' lair!
The Japanese pirates on the island were either captured or killed, not a single one escaped!
In addition, more than a thousand captured civilians were rescued.
Even though the people in coastal areas had never experienced the Japanese invasion personally, they had always lived in fear of the Japanese invasion.
Seeing this grand occasion, everyone cheered:
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
Zheng Yuannai rode on his horse, smiling brightly, and raised his arms and shouted:
"The Songhu Army is mighty!"
Then the people also shouted:
"The Songhu Army is mighty!"
"The Songhu Army is mighty!"
Hearing such shouts, the soldiers in Songhu all held their heads high and walked with confidence.
At this moment, they all deeply realized the mission and honor of being a soldier, protecting the people and safeguarding the peace.
The hard training and blood and sweat in daily life are actually enjoyable!
When the news reached Songhu City, the entire people of Songhu were shocked.
In the city of Songhu, they formed a truly combat-capable army and achieved an unprecedented great victory in the fight against the Japanese pirates.
With such a powerful army stationed in Songhu, they will no longer be afraid of Japanese pirates' invasion!
Songhu is so fortunate to have a famous anti-Japanese general like General Zheng!
Zheng Yuannai's reputation as the Songhu Lieutenant General reached an unprecedented high in the entire Songhu City.
In fact, the dock was crowded with merchants, and the news soon spread to other surrounding states.
The local people and businessmen all envied the fact that Songhu Prefecture had a brave general like General Zheng to guard it.
In Jinhua Prefecture, where the Japanese invasion was most serious, scholars and common people spontaneously went to the local government office to petition:
They hoped that General Zheng could take charge of the military affairs of Jinhua Prefecture and lead everyone to fight against the Japanese pirates.
The lieutenant general of Jinhua Prefecture was so angry that his face was distorted.
But this is far from the peak.
Because of this anti-Japanese war, there are still many legendary details that have not yet been circulated.
