He vaguely saw an island looming in the sea fog in the distance.

But when he took another closer look, he had disappeared.

Mirage?

It's not impossible, after all, the sea fog is really big.

Just when Zhu Xiongying was confused, he frowned slightly.

He raised his hand, and a handful of black ash appeared in his palm. He raised it again, and the black ash turned into a piece of paper out of thin air.

"This kind of operation really exists."

Zhu Xiongying, who has been cultivating immortality for so many years, was shocked by his own operation. He was actually able to accept the prayers of believers.

"It seems that Yang Shiqi has done a good job and it is effective so quickly."

Before leaving Yingtian, Zhu Xiongying specially summoned Yang Shiqi and spent about two-quarters of an hour briefly describing to him what it means to control public opinion and what a god-making movement is.

He didn't know if Yang Shiqi understood it at that time, but the husky in front of him nodded frequently.

Then Zhu Xiongying took a rough look at the paper in his hand.

A cold light suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that such a thing would still happen in today's Ming Dynasty.

During the Hongwu dynasty, under the iron-fisted rule of Lao Zhu, the criminal law was extremely harsh, and officials who merely embezzled sixty taels of silver would be beheaded.

But this was during the three periods before, during, and after Hongwu. At the end of Hongwu, especially in recent years, as Lao Zhu's body was getting worse day by day and he had no energy to pay attention to too many details, the minds of the following group of lawless bastards became more active.

Got up.

According to what this paper says.

The persons to be redressed are Li and his wife, their son Li Song, and their daughter Li Dan.

Half a year ago, Xie Kun, the son of Xie Cheng, Marquis of Yongping, saw Li Dan's beauty and broke into his home to rob him. Li's father and brother resisted desperately, but they were severely beaten by him. His father died suddenly and his brother was disabled. They were toying with Li Dan for half a month.

When he was released, Li Dan was completely insane, like a madman.

Xie Kun even bribed some officials, leaving the family with nowhere to complain.

They even sent people to monitor the Li family for twelve hours, and if anyone tried to report the matter to the authorities, they would be beaten and kicked.

"Your Highness."

At this time, Yang Rong's panting voice came from behind.

He also searched for a long time before he saw this figure on the city wall by the sea.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Xiongying temporarily kept the paper in Najie and waited for his response before dealing with it.

This Yongping Marquis Xie Cheng impressed him quite a bit, and he was also one of the nobles of Huaixi.

In the original historical trajectory, he should have been implicated in the Lan Yu case and died, but now he is living a very happy life.

This reminded Zhu Xiongying of Zhang Yide, the son of Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, who he met in Zuixian Tower and was later raped for thirty years by himself and exiled to Lingnan. He also relied on his father's power to act recklessly.

A bunch of dogs, if they don't live well, they must seek death.

"Back to Your Highness, we have just received a report that a large number of Japanese pirates have entered Jiaozhou and are looting wantonly in Jiaozhou Prefecture."

When Yang Rong said this, there was a look of shame in his eyes.

With the coastal defense he originally arranged, he could completely avoid such things from happening.

But because Dengzhou Prefecture was in danger, he had to order to recall all the Japanese-eradicating troops stationed on the coast.

The Japanese pirates, who were originally hovering in the surrounding waters, saw that all the Japanese-defeating troops stationed on the coast had withdrawn. They sent a few spies to quietly go ashore to investigate, and they found out that the Japanese-defending troops in Shandong were busy suppressing the rebellion.

Naturally, these Japanese pirates would not let go of such a great opportunity.

"how many people."

Zhu Xiongying also had an icy coldness in his eyes.

There were many small countries around the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Xiongying had no feeling for them, whether they were Korean sticks, Annan monkeys, or even Ganges Asan, which had not yet matured.

But these Baga devils alone, Zhu Xiongying wanted to invade his clan and kill them all.

Don't ask why, I can't write.

Regarding the current Japanese state, Zhu Xiongying reviewed the history in his mind, and he still remembered some of it.

The problem of Japanese pirates started in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Because the Japanese country was experiencing civil strife at that time, the two emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties fought for power and orthodoxy. This kind of chaos lasted until the middle and late Hongwu period.

It was not until the 25th year of Hongwu that the Northern Dynasty won, and the Southern Emperor abdicated after being forced to sacrifice three artifacts.

The village chiefs who originally supported the Southern Dynasty suddenly became targets of exile and pursuit, and they all went to sea to become pirates, thus forming today's Japanese pirates.

"Five thousand."

When Yang Rong reported this number, he frowned.

He also did not expect that the number of Japanese pirates who invaded this time would be so huge.

The number of Japanese pirates who usually enter the country is hundreds or thousands, and the most is only two or three thousand. Because most of the Japanese pirates who can cross the ocean and come to the Ming Dynasty have skills, they all claim the so-called bushido spirit and are called ronin.

.

In terms of individual combat strength, one Japanese pirate can be compared to several Ming soldiers.

There is even a record in historical records: During the Jiajing period, about sixty Japanese pirates landed from Zhejiang. This group of Japanese pirates killed the imperial censor, ran rampant in Hangzhou, and actively intercepted and killed officers and soldiers. Thousands of officers and soldiers besieged these sixty Japanese pirates.

Three hundred people were actually killed.

Whenever he sees such outrageous records, Zhu Xiongying will feel the word "shame".

The Ming Dynasty in my hands will never allow such ridiculous things to happen. If it does happen, all the local officials will be executed.

This wave of five thousand people came directly, and it seemed that they had gathered all the Japanese pirates floating on the sea.

It is probably because Yang Rong was having such a hard time during this period that he was unable to go ashore to plunder.

"I don't care what method you use to gather all the Japanese pirates in one place."

Zhu Xiongying looked at the sea ahead and said calmly.

Yang Rong paused, then bowed and saluted.

"My lord, I will definitely live up to my mission."

After saying that, Yang Rong turned around and hurriedly went to get ready.

As for Zhu Xiongying, he suddenly thought, among all the pirates, are there any named Luffy?

If he said to his face, "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King," would I give him a knife or give him a knife?

………………

Jiaozhou.

Large numbers of Japanese pirates were like packs of crazy vicious dogs. After landing, they dispersed into hundreds of groups and plundered various parts of Jiaozhou.

There is no clear purpose.

He kills everyone he meets and robs everyone he sees.

Ancient town village.

This is one of the most famous and wealthy villages in Jiaozhou, and has always been famous for its high field yield.

But at this moment, the ancient town and village are simply like hell on earth.

Fire, burning everywhere.

Blood spilled on the ground and formed a river.

Cries, screams, begging for mercy, and the perverted laughter of Japanese pirates were all mixed together.

Fifty or sixty Japanese pirates wearing broken armour, with ferocious and wretched faces, were dragging young girls of flower age one after another from private houses.

The cries of the girls shook their hearts, but when they fell into the ears of these Japanese pirates, it became their pleasure. The firelight illuminated the disgusting and perverted smiling faces.

There were even some Japanese pirates who rummaged through boxes and cabinets and plundered all the valuable gold and silver belongings in the village.

At this time, the sound of a large number of horse hooves came from a distance.

The leader of the Japanese pirates, who was wearing braids and Japanese armor, blew a whistle. In an instant, the other Japanese pirates reacted, with unfinished expressions on their faces, but no hesitation in holding the knife in their hands.

Take away all the belongings you can take away.

As for people, young and old, they were all killed.

By the time a large number of soldiers and horses arrived at the entrance of the village, the ancient town and village had turned into a hell on earth. There were only a few dozen survivors who were hiding. At this time, they crawled out tremblingly from the corner and saw the tragic death of their loved ones.

The sound of wailing and crying saddened the sea breeze.

This is how Japanese pirates behave.
