Wang Lin'er couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Do you Jinyiwei have a good meal? Two thousand people are still defeated against hundreds of Japanese pirates? A group of...!"

Finally, Wang Liner was relatively steady and restrained. She took a deep breath and forced the word "jump to eat".

Huang Qianhu's face turned red as purple, and he defended awkwardly: "We split into two groups into the city, but who knew that we were caught by the sudden attack of the Japanese pirates, and the weapons of the Japanese pirates were dominant, so... so we were defeated."

Xu Jin saw with his own eyes the six or seven hundred patrol officers of the Inspection Department vulnerable to more than a dozen Japanese pirates, so he was surprised that the two thousand Jinyiwei lost to hundreds of Japanese pirates. The old soldiers of Jinyiwei were usually showing off their power, but they really couldn't fight on the battlefield.

Of course, it is not to say that the Jinyiwei's combat power is so bad. The key to fighting on the battlefield is courage. If everyone is afraid of death, as long as a few such an army are cut and injured by others, they will naturally become disarray and will collapse at one touch. Therefore, only an army that is not afraid of death and does not spare its life can be qualified to become a powerful and invincible army.

Next, Xu Jin carefully asked about the process of Huang Qianhu fighting with the Japanese pirates. Although the latter had flashed words of eliminating the crime, he basically described the process.

After hearing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel mixed. What was happy was that if according to Huang Qianhu's description, the county government had not been captured when they arrived, which means that the five hundred battalions led by Zhao Bin, a hundred households, stubbornly guarded the warehouse. What was worried was that after the Japanese pirates repelled Tang Shaozong's Jinyiwei, they might continue to turn back to attack the county government, and I don't know if Zhao Bin and others could resist.

In addition, Ma Huai, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, was shot to death by the Japanese pirates, and a fifth-rank civil servant died at the hands of the Japanese pirates. This matter is not big or small. If this group of Japanese pirates cannot be captured, the court will lose face. In last year's "tribute battle incident", Zhu Hougui was furious and closed two civil service departments in anger, interrupting trade with Japan.

"How is Tang Shaozong's injury?" Xu Jin asked casually again.

Huang Qianhu stammered: "Commander Tang... was injured by a runaway arrow, but the injury was not too serious."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel moved. Huang Qianhu was hesitant when he spoke and his eyes dodged. It was probably that Tang Shaozong was not injured at all, but just an excuse not to come to see him.

"Go down and let Mr. Tang recover well!" Xu Jin waved his hand and said calmly. The most urgent task was to arrive in Dongtai County, so he was too lazy to expose Tang Shaozong's lies. Anyway, this guy is also a burden to keep him by his side.

Huang Qianhu was relieved and quickly bowed and retreated.

After Huang Qianhu retreated, Wang Liner immediately said excitedly: "It seems that Zhao Bin and the others have guarded the warehouse. It's good. Although these Nanjing Jinyiwei are useless, they at least rescued Zhao Bin and the others. I hope that the reinforcements from the Qianhu Station of Yancheng can arrive at the right place. (Note: The author wrote about Yancheng Guards. Now, it's corrected that it's the Qianhu Station of Yancheng. There are only Yangzhou Guards and Gaoyou Guards in Yangzhou Prefecture, but there are no Yancheng Guards."

Xu Jin nodded and ordered the fleet to continue driving with lights. The canal waterway was stable, which was different from the turbulent and dangerous aspects of the Yangtze River. As long as you are careful, you will not be seriously injured when sailing at night.

I was speechless all night, and at around 10 am the next morning, the fleet arrived outside Dongtai County.

By the way, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong arrived first yesterday evening. At this time, Qi Jingtong led people to welcome the marquis on the dock. Five hundred battalions of soldiers with live ammunition blocked all intersections and were on high alert.

Dongtai County Magistrate Zhu Wan was wearing a seventh-rank official robe and stood beside Qi Jingtong with a pale complexion. The empty sleeves on his right hand were blown by the wind, which was quite a bit of a tragic smell of "the wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold".

"See the imperial envoy." When Xu Jin stepped on the springboard, Zhu Wan took the lead in taking a salute.

When Xu Jin saw Zhu Wan with his empty right sleeve, he was stunned and blurted out: "Brother Zichun, your right hand?"

Although Zhu Wan looked pale, she said calmly: "Beheaded by the Japanese woman, Guo Baron saved her to death, and the subordinates were lucky enough to save their lives."

Xu Jin raised his sword eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Orinomiko?"

Qi Jingtong showed grief and anger on his face, and nodded, "Sir, I saw that Okaori Nobumiko and Chen Sipan's Jinyiwei were all killed. In addition, 26 brothers who stayed in Dongtai County were killed in battle, injured fifteen people, and seriously injured five people. Zhao Bin, a hundred households, died of serious injuries and left last night."

Xu Jin was silent immediately. Such heavy casualties showed the fierce battle at that time.

"Old Zhao." Wang Lin'er and Zhao Datou clenched their fists, their eyes were red, and their teeth were almost broken.

Speaking of which, Zhao Bin, Wang Liner, Zhao Datou and others were all personal soldiers of Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui. Later, Sun Sui ordered Xu Jin to be the magistrate on his deathbed, and all his personal soldiers followed Xu Jin. After the rebellion of Ning Wang was quelled, only eleven personal soldiers including Wang Liner were left beside Xu Jin. Then eleven personal soldiers followed Xu Jin to suppress the White Lotus Sect in Shandong to rebel, sharing life and death, and having a deep relationship between brothers and sisters. That was a friendship of life and death.

Xu Jin was also very sad, but he quickly returned to peace. As the saying goes, "Ci is not in charge of soldiers. After tragic bloody battles of all sizes, his heart has become as solid as a rock. What's more, as a head coach, he should never show a weak side in front of his subordinates at any time. The best way to comfort his comrades is the enemy's head!

"Where is the Minister Xie?" Xu Jin couldn't help but ask in a deep voice without seeing Xie Erjian.

"The Japanese pirates robbed several salt fields. At noon yesterday, they fled along the canal to Rugao County. After Xiao Xie arrived last night, he immediately led a hundred brothers to chase him." Qi Jingtong replied.

Xu Jin couldn't help but frown and asked, "The Japanese pirates have not escaped from the sea?"

Zhu Wan replied: "On the night of the incident, the officials originally wanted to summon all the inspectors from the Xixi Inspection Department to the city to support him, but the inspection department had been taken down by the Japanese pirates. The officials and Guo Bazhong killed the ten remaining thieves, and then burned all the ships with fire. The Japanese pirates had no way out, so they fled to Rugao County, probably because they wanted to seize the ships from the Haimen area to go out to sea."

Xu Jin couldn't help but be happy. Although his second brother-in-law was a few hours late to chase him, he might be able to catch up with him by riding on both sides.

"Sir, I'm asking for an attack!" Wang Lin'er and Zhao Datou almost asked for the fight in unison.

"Bigou, stay and protect lord!" Wang Lin'er scolded with a dark face.

Zhao Datou argued with his neck tampered, "It's enough for the protection of Qi Qian's households, I want to kill the thief."

Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you both go, but don't act irritating."
