Han Du smiled and did not let this person come directly. Although it was unlikely that he was a Japanese pirate, people were unpredictable and had to guard against this matter.
"You can tell that those people are Japanese pirates." Han Du smiled and stretched out his hand to indicate.
When the visitor was stopped, he couldn't help but be startled, thinking that Han Du was lying to him. Now that he heard Han Du say this, he realized that he was reckless. In the play, if you want to join the gang, you need to surrender.
How could he, a common man, be allowed to get close to such a noble person as Uncle Ye just because of his words?
"It's the common people who are being reckless, please forgive me." He said, and gave Handu a clasped fist salute.

"It's the common people who are being reckless, please forgive me." He said, and gave Handu a clasped fist salute.
Then, he turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed at the crowd, "That one over there, and the three in front, and here..." When he pointed at a few of them, he had a look on his face.
Hatred emerged, and it was obvious that he had suffered a loss at the hands of these people.
The appearance of this person became the last straw that crushed the Japanese pirates. The original luck was completely wiped out, and they fell into complete despair.
"Ah~" Under the pressure of despair, many Japanese pirates suddenly stood up and rushed towards Han Du, preparing for a fatal blow.
But under the dense firecrackers, just a few "bang bang bang" can teach the Japanese pirates how to behave in an instant.
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty's firearms were so sharp, the people's courage also grew stronger. The various abuses the Japanese pirates had inflicted on them in the past were heard, and anger suddenly surged into their hearts. They caught the Japanese pirates who continued to hide among the crowd. As soon as you
Punch me and kick me, and vent all the grievances I suffered on the Japanese pirates.
Han Du looked at the angry people, waved his hand to stop the soldiers who wanted to come forward, and just watched helplessly as the Japanese pirates were beaten to death by the people with stones and wooden sticks.
All the Japanese pirates were executed, and when the people slowly calmed down, it was confirmed that no fish had slipped through the net. It was impossible for any fish to slip through the net. The people also knew that the Ming army was going to leave. If there were Japanese pirates who had slipped through the net, wouldn't they have brought trouble to themselves?
Disaster?
Han Du then asked with a smile: "What's your name?"
"Shi Ping, a common man, pays homage to your uncle." Shi Ping was filled with joy and bowed to Han Du.
"Oh~" Han Du nodded subconsciously and asked leisurely: "Looking at you, have you read a book?"
Shi Ping's face turned red, he lowered his head and replied shyly: "I don't dare to say that I have read a book, I just went to a private school for a few days."
"It's not bad to have studied in a private school," Han Du was even more satisfied and continued to ask: "Are you literate?"
"I know a little bit." Shi Ping seemed to have gradually gotten used to Han Du's questions and answered neatly.
"How much do you know? Can you read the Thousand-Character Essay?"
Shi Ping's face suddenly turned red and he stammered: "One, half."
Looking at Shi Ping's look, Han Du understood that he could only read half of the characters at most, but it was considered good to be able to read half. Han Du patted Shi Ping's arm and threw the token in his hand at him.
"Take it, you will be the magistrate of Changguo County from now on."
Shi Ping subconsciously took it and waited until he got the token before he came back to his senses and said, "Am I considered the county magistrate now?"
"What? You don't believe it?" Han Du looked at Shi Ping with interest.
"The common people are willing." Shi Ping was overjoyed and replied quickly. After he finished speaking, he realized that his words were a bit inappropriate, so he changed his words: "I am willing."
Shi Ping just grabbed the token as if he was grabbing the official seal.
Han Du glanced left and right and said with a smile: "But now you, the county magistrate, can only perform a one-man show, and you don't even have a county government office. But don't worry, I will make arrangements for you when I return to Beijing this time."
"Uncle Xie." Shi Ping quickly thanked him. Although he was a little regretful that he did not have a county government and subordinate officials, there was nothing he could do about it. It was an unprecedented blessing that he could rise from a commoner to a county magistrate.
, he didn’t dare to want more. What’s more, as long as he is the county magistrate, things like the county government are just a matter of time, so why rush?
After Tang Ding executed the Japanese pirates, he walked to Han Du, gestured to the more than a thousand living people, and asked Han Du: "What should we do with these people?"
"Sir, please take us back."
"Yes, sir, it would be nice to take us back to the beach."
...
Tang Ding's words were like poking a hornet's nest, and a loud noise suddenly sounded.
Han Du gave Tang Ding an idiot look and took a step forward, "That's enough!"
Faced with Han Du's power, the people immediately shut their mouths.
Han Du glanced at everyone and said: "Uncle Ben is leading troops to sea this time, and there is no extra ship to take you back. If you want to go back, you can. But you have to wait until Uncle Ben completes this matter."
I will go back and send a ship to pick you up."
"Ah~ Sir, please don't leave."
"That is, if you leave and the Japanese pirates come, what will we and the people do?"
"Shut up!" Seeing that the noise was about to come out again, Han Du shouted sharply.
After that, he pointed at Shi Ping and said: "This is your county magistrate, your parent official. Now, you can only obey him. What if the Japanese pirates come? Just beat them and drive them into the sea."
Han Du looked at the people in front of him. There were no old or weak people at all. They were all young and strong. Although they looked a little thin due to long-term hard work and malnutrition, it didn't matter. They could recover as long as they cultivated for a period of time.
Moreover, when they attacked the Japanese pirates, they did not hesitate. Now that the anger has passed, they are afraid and want to escape and leave the trouble to others. Where can such a cheap thing be done?
Han Du's words dashed everyone's hopes and their faces turned bad.
Even Shi Ping's expression changed. How could these people fight against the Japanese pirates without any weapons?
Fortunately, Han Du's next words dispelled Shi Ping's worries and made the people's faces look better.
"Don't worry, I will leave all the swords, bows and crossbows of the Japanese pirates with you. The captured ones will be enough for you."
Those weapons are enough to arm more than a thousand people here, and more than a thousand people are fully armed. As long as they have enough courage, they will not be their opponents at all when they encounter a small group of Japanese pirates.
As for if they don't have the courage, then Han Du has no choice. After all, Han Du is not a nanny. If they don't dare to fight for their lives, they deserve to die.
At the end of Han Du, he also told Shi Ping, "If you encounter a large group of Japanese pirates and you are no match, then go up the mountain and set off fireworks. Uncle Ben will find you at sea and will come to rescue you."
"Your Majesty, I will remember it."
"Just remember," Han Du whispered in Shi Ping's ear, "remember, swords and the like must be given to someone you trust first, you know?"
