Chapter 337 Landing (Two in One)
"Choosing the camp of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army, I must admit, is partly due to emotional factors."
Bai Xiaowen paused, then asked back: "Shuyi, in the Kane plane world, if we had chosen to enter as the son of the Bloodspear Warlord, fighting side by side with a group of cannibals and slaughtering human cities... What do you think? "
Li Shuyi's face turned pale, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"Intellectually speaking, the spiritual world is not equal to the real world. It doesn't matter which camp you want to join in the spiritual world, even the anti-human camp. However, even though there is no legal restriction, what we do is still subject to our innermost feelings." Basic moral constraints...or in other words, keeping the bottom line of humanity."
Bai Xiaowen said, "In the history of the Jiajing Japanese Rebellion, Japanese pirates harassed the southeast coast. After breaking the city, the old and the weak were killed. The young and strong were sent as fake Japanese to accompany the army. Women weaved during the day and were raped by Japanese pirates at night. It is not as good as animals. So , I don’t want to join this kind of camp, even if it’s only in the spirit world, even if it’s only for ten days.”
The Japanese pirates in the Jiajing Japanese Invasion were just like the Japanese invaders during the Anti-Japanese War, they had no humanity at all. If Bai Xiaowen was matched to a plane world of the Anti-Japanese War, would he join the Japanese army that invaded China? Obviously impossible, even if the faction has an obvious advantage, Bai Xiaowen would not do this.
This is the bottom line of human nature.
Li Shuyi said in relief: "I agree with your opinion. When I was in the Kane plane world, I felt that I could use 12% of my strength to kill those man-eating orcs. If we slaughtered humans in the camp of orcs, we The combat power that can be displayed may have to be discounted, I don’t even know if I have the courage to swing a sword.”
Bai Xiaowen nodded, and then said:
"Of course, I chose the camp of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army because of rational considerations. From the background, the base camp of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army is Daming, with Wufu and Minfeng. There must be a wide variety of items that can be exchanged at the quartermaster, and there may There will be some top-quality special products. This can be seen from the growth rate of the faction's prestige."
The prestige growth rate of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army camp is relatively slow. Generally speaking, in this camp whose prestige is difficult to gain, the quartermasters are all very rich, and the merit points will be more "valuable".
As for the Japanese pirates, their forces are too scattered. As a result, most of the military supplies of the Japanese pirate forces must be uneven and scarce. The reputation of the Japanese pirates is easy to increase, and it is easier to complete the main task. But what about rushing to worship? If you have high prestige and a lot of merit points, but you don't have good military supplies to exchange for, prestige and merit points are meaningless.
"Then how should we join the Anti-Japanese Ming Army?" Li Shuyi asked, "Now here is a vast sea, we are newcomers, and it is not easy to go back to the land... I think the rules of the spirit world are a bit biased towards letting us join the Japanese pirates.
"
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Joining the Anti-Japanese Ming Army is definitely more difficult than joining the Japanese pirates. After all, one is an official and the other is a thief. But don't worry, there is no way out... Open the treasure chest first."
After Zhao Zhixiong and the others used the S-level props to teleport and escape, they also gave up the treasure chest.
Bai Xiaowen opened the treasure chest, and the score for killing Chen Duyan was B. He quickly clicked on the gold cards and selected two of them.
Fortunately, a piece of gold equipment was produced, which turned out to be the thick-backed machete used by Chen Duyan! This machete is a weapon that needs to be held with both hands. The additional attack power is surprisingly high, but it requires 25 points of basic strength and 20 points of basic agility.
Bai Xiaowen put away the golden equipment thick-backed machete, neither of them needed it.
Another dropped item is called [Sailing Log], which is the diary of the voyage and plunder of Chen Cyclops' pirate fleet.
"Let's go down." Bai Xiaowen walked towards the bottom cabin.
"Ah?" Li Shuyi was a little surprised, the two of them came up from the bottom cabin, what are they going to do now?
"In the bilge, there should be young and strong people that Chen Duyan robbed..." Bai Xiaowen said, "Do you think Chen Duyan only robbed the four of us? Impossible, he must have robbed other people, most of them It's fishermen from coastal fishing villages. We rescued these fishermen and put them in charge of sailing the boat and returning to land!"
Bai Xiaowen stated that the rules of the spirit world would not cut off the way for the awakened to join the anti-Japanese Ming army camp, plus the cut-in identities of several awakened as a reference, other cabins in the bilge, there are looted fishermen and captives are a certainty.
Chen Duyan's subordinates on this boat have been wiped out. Bai Xiaowen and the two went to the bottom cabin, summoned the vampire Keats, ordered him to break the door and pick the lock, and soon released more than 20 fishermen, most of whom were young and strong men. There are a few scantily clad women.
These fishermen are just ordinary templates with weak strength.
After Bai Xiaowen said his request, all the fishermen were embarrassed for a while, and finally pushed a man who was about 30 or 40 years old to come forward.
The man made a bow, with the style of a scholar, and said respectfully: "Your benefactor has an order, how dare we not obey, but there are two difficulties."
"explain."
"Fishermen sail their boats on weekdays, but they are all small boats. They have never operated such a large boat, so they can only fumble for a while. However, the speed of sailing the boat must be slower than that of Japanese pirates," the man said, "Other One difficulty is that we have been locked in the bilge. We don’t know where we are, and we don’t know which direction to go. If we want to go back to Daming, we may drive to Nanyang. If we go to Nanyang, we are afraid of encountering What kind of reef, one boat will be finished."
"What's your name, and what do you do?" Bai Xiaowen could tell that this man was not a fisherman.
The man said: "Back to Engong, the late student's name is Xie Sheng, and now he is the teacher of the Xie Family Village School."
"I'm a scholar," Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, handed the [boat logbook] to Xie Sheng, and said, "It records the routes of the pirate ships these days. You read the text to these fishermen in detail, and let them know Confirm the course and return to land along the way."
Xie Sheng quickly thanked Bai Xiaowen. A dozen fishermen took the helm and hoisted the sails one after another, and the sea boat slowly began to turn around.
On several other sea ships, the pirate fire has also come to an end.
Originally, it wouldn't have ended so soon, but Chen Duyan's killing obviously dealt a huge blow to the morale of the pirates on their side. Many pirates under Chen Duyan's command saw that the leader was dead, so they had to throw down their weapons and surrender.
Surrender and you won't die.
The various forces of the Japanese pirates are always willing to refuse these pirates who have seen blood and killed people, and they are much easier to use than the newly captured good fishermen.
Although Chen Duyan died, the pirate with the white scarf on his arm did not intend to let the flagship go. After a short period of rectification and collection, they lifted the anchor and set sail, and they caught up!
Seeing several sailboats approaching, Li Shuyi frowned and said, "What are they doing chasing after, obviously Chen Duoyan is dead, and they all saw it too."
"I flipped through the last few pages of the ship's logbook. Chen Duyan just broke through a county town and looted a lot of property. It is estimated that this firestorm is also related to these goods... The goods looted are mainly on the flagship. , then the opponent's intention to catch up is also very obvious..."
Bai Xiaowen walked to the cargo hold at the bottom of the big ship. This kind of hard work was done by Keats again. He dug with his claws and quickly pried open the door of the cargo hold.
"Wow..." Kits whistled.
Li Shuyi was also a little surprised. At a glance, there were gold and silver utensils and silk cloth, which filled the entire cargo hold.
"They are all items that cannot be taken out of this world, and are of little value to us." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Boss, do you want to return it to them?" Kitz said with a toothache, "It's a pity that there are so many good things, and how many girls can sleep with them on the shore."
"Also? Impossible. Besides, even if we return it to them, those pirates will not let us go." Bai Xiaowen saw it clearly.
"Boss is wise," Kitts flattered and said, "How can we spit out the meat in our mouths!"
"You still think of yourself as a robber?" Bai Xiaowen glanced at Kits.
Kitts shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, I've done it... I won't do this business anymore."
"These are the ill-gotten gains plundered by the Japanese pirates. They should be handed over to the government and returned to the people after they landed." Bai Xiaowen said righteously.
Seeing that the chasing sailboat was approaching, a slender pirate leader wearing a sharkskin armor stood on the bow and said loudly, "Which road is on the opposite side? Do you know who this ship belongs to?"
Bai Xiaowen stood at the stern of the boat: "It belongs to the people of Ming Dynasty."
"..."
The slender pirate leader's voice became colder: "Midget your own business and seek death!"
The speed at which the pirates were chasing was indeed much faster than that group of beginner fishermen, and the sails were driven forward by the wind.
Bai Xiaowen took out the Desert Eagle, held guns in both hands, and aimed at the cables of the opponent's sail.
The slender pirate leader sneered and said, "I don't believe you have the ability to walk through Yang with a hundred steps..."
Tom, Tom, Tom!
Gunshots rang out continuously.
Bai Xiaowen's current shooting specialty is level 3, and it is only level 4 with the addition of the strongest academic master. If it is so far apart, when the two boats are moving at high speed, he does not have the ability to hit the cable with every shot. However, he turned on the burst mode, using quantity instead of precision.
As long as one hit in ten bullets is enough.
Under the horrified eyes of the slender pirate leader, the sail and cables of the ship he was on were shot off, the sail suddenly fell down, and the ship lay horizontally on the sea. Followed by the second boat, the third boat...
The fishermen on Bai Xiaowen's boat cheered and praised in unison. They also gradually got the knack of manipulating the sea boat, and their speed gradually increased. It didn't take long for them to shake off the group of pirates wrapped in white scarves.
The slender pirate leader's face was gloomy, wishing he could tear Bai Xiaowen to pieces. At this time, a Japanese pirate under his command came to report that he had connected the cable, should he continue to pursue?
"Chasing a fart."
The slender pirate leader waved his hand, "This time we killed Chen Duyan, the goal is considered to be half completed, and brother can also explain it to me. Turn around and go back to the village!"
Suddenly a small boat came quickly, and a pirate reported: "Master Hong, two people suddenly appeared on Brother Er Biao's boat. What did Luo Xiucai say their names were... They looked suspicious! Would you like to go and have a look? "
"What did Er Biao do? It allows people to touch the ship without anyone noticing it! Wouldn't it be a bad thing if they were spies from the government and the army?" "Lord Hong", the slender pirate leader, said angrily.
"Master Hong, you don't know, those two people fell from the sky, and they don't do Er Biao's business." The pirate was obviously Er Biao's confidant.
"There is such a thing?" Master Hong was a little bit unconvinced.
"It's true, all the brothers in the boat can testify. Those two people also said that they have long admired Master Xu, the head of the family, and they came here to seek refuge. Before Chen Duyan was killed, the two of them could be said to have made great contributions! "
"So, those people who robbed Master's goods and escaped are also their accomplices?" Master Hong said angrily, "I have to ask carefully!"
...
Bai Xiaowen finally set foot on land.
Those fishermen who were taken captive, together with the school teacher Xie Sheng, are very grateful. Bai Xiaowen took out some goods and coins from the cabin and distributed them to them, so that after they go back, they won't live on the streets and suffer from hunger and cold because their homes are broken.
Anyway, these money and coins are items that cannot be taken out of the spirit world, and Bai Xiaowen doesn't feel bad about sending some out. As for why not give more? Bai Xiaowen still understands the truth that a man is not guilty but he is guilty of a jade. In the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period, when the powerful and the gentry took advantage of it, they were no better than the Japanese pirates.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the summoned creature to carry a ship of goods and pile them up in a secluded place, and then let the vampire Kitts take care of them. After doing all this, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi to inquire along the way, and found the nearest coastal defense stronghold of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army, called Chongwusuo.
In the Ming Dynasty in Fujian, there were "five guards and twelve offices" in Haiphong, and Chongwu office was one of them. However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Weisuo was really mediocre. It is not groundless that there are hundreds of ronin warriors who traveled thousands of miles and killed thousands of Ming soldiers in Ming Shilu.
In history, the Japanese Insurgency was able to be quelled, mainly by three people, one with two weapons.
Let me talk about the two generals first, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, known as Yu Long Qihu, who made the Japanese pirates frightened. According to Bai Xiaowen's memory of the history of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Dayou's evaluation is that he has strong personal strength, while Qi Jiguang is good at commanding troops.
Besides, the civil servant is named Hu Zongxian.
The Ming Dynasty has always valued literature over military affairs, and no matter how powerful the generals are, they must be restrained by scholars. Hu Zongxian is Yu Longqihu's boss.
However, unlike the civil servants in the drama who always hold back the military generals, Hu Zongxian is a capable person. He rectified the coastal defenses, set up water fortresses, and reorganized the military affairs of the Ming army. And his most powerful thing is not training troops to strengthen the army, but the old profession of a cultural person - flickering.
Wang Zhi, a pirate tycoon during the Jiajing period, could be called the godfather of pirates. He proclaimed himself the King of Hui, based in Japan, and was nicknamed "Captain Wufeng". There is a saying that shows how powerful he is: "The bandits on the sea will not survive unless they are controlled by (Wang) Zhi."
However, it was such a person who was fooled by Hu Zongxian to go ashore, and then he was trapped and killed. It can be seen that cultural people are frighteningly flickering.
When Bai Xiaowen came to Chongwu Institute, he found that the mental outlook of the soldiers here was much better than he had imagined. Standing guards and ordering orders to prohibit them were not as lax as imagined. Obviously this was the work of Hu Zongxian to rectify them.
