"I must admit that I chose the anti-Japanese Ming Army camp partly due to emotional factors."
Bai Xiaowen paused and asked: "Shuyi, in the world of Kane's plane, if we had chosen to enter as the son of the Blood Spear Warlord, fight side by side with a group of cannibals, and massacre human cities... What do you think?
"
Li Shuyi's face turned a little pale, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"Intellectually speaking, the spiritual world is not the same as the real world. There is no problem in joining any camp in the spiritual world, even the anti-human camp. However, even though there is no legal restriction, what we do is still subject to the deepest feelings in our hearts.
Basic moral restraint...or, in other words, keeping the bottom line of human nature."
Bai Xiaowen said, "In the Jiajing Japanese Rebellion in history, Japanese pirates harassed the southeast coast. After breaking the city, they killed the old and the weak, and the young and strong Kunfa served as fake Japanese followers. Women weaved during the day and were raped by Japanese pirates at night. They were worse than animals. So.
, I don’t want to join this camp, even if it’s just in the spirit world, even if it’s only for ten days.”
The Japanese pirates in the Jiajing Japanese Rebellion were just like the Japanese invaders during the Anti-Japanese War. They had no humanity at all. If Bai Xiaowen was matched to a certain dimension of the Anti-Japanese War, would he join the Japanese invaders? Obviously impossible, even if
The camp has obvious advantages, and Bai Xiaowen would not do this.
This is the bottom line of human nature.
Li Shuyi said with relief: "I agree with your opinion. When I was in the Kane plane world, I felt that I could use 10% of my strength to kill those man-eating orcs. If we stand in the camp of the orcs and slaughter humans, we
I’m afraid the combat effectiveness that can be displayed must be compromised, I don’t even know if I have the courage to wield 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 a background point of view, the base camp of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army was Daming, with abundant resources and abundant people. There must be a wide variety of items that can be exchanged at the quartermaster's office, and it is possible
There will be some top-quality specialties. This can be seen from the increase in the camp’s reputation.”
The reputation of the anti-Japanese Ming army camp grows slowly. Generally speaking, in this camp whose reputation is difficult to gain, the quartermasters are extremely rich, and their merit points will be more "valuable".
As for the Japanese pirates, their forces are too scattered. This means that most of the military supplies of the Japanese pirate forces must be uneven and scarce in quantity. The reputation of the Japanese pirates is easy to gain, and it is more convenient to complete the main mission. But it can be achieved by gaining worship.
What should I do? I have high reputation and a large amount of merit points, but no good military supplies to exchange for them. Reputation and merit are meaningless.
"Then how should we join the anti-Japanese Ming army?" Li Shuyi asked, "Now this is a vast sea. We are new here. It is not easy to return to the land... I think the rules of the spiritual 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, it's not impossible... Let's open the treasure chest first."
After Zhao Zhixiong and the two used S-level props to teleport and escape, they essentially gave up on the treasure chest.
Bai Xiaowen opened the treasure chest and found that the score for killing Chen Duyan was B level. He quickly clicked on the gold cards and selected two of them.
With good luck, a piece of golden equipment came out, and it turned out to be the thick-backed machete used by Chen Duyan! This machete is a weapon that needs to be held by both hands. The additional attack power is astonishingly high, but it requires 25 points of basic strength and 20
Point basic agility.
Bai Xiaowen put away his golden equipment, the thick-backed machete, so neither of them could use it.
Another dropped item is called [Ship Log], which is a diary of Chen Duyan’s pirate fleet’s voyages and plunders.
"Let's go downstairs." 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?
"There should be some young people captured by Chen Duyan in the bottom cabin..." Bai Xiaowen said, "Do you think Chen Duyan only robbed four of us? Impossible, he must have robbed other people, most of them.
They are fishermen from coastal fishing villages. We rescued these fishermen and made them responsible for sailing the boats and returning to land!"
According to Bai Xiao's literature, the rules of the spirit world will not cut off the way for awakened people to join the anti-Japanese Ming army camp. In addition, with the identities of several awakened people as a reference, it is certain that there are plundered fishermen and prisoners in other cabins in the bottom cabin.
Chen Duyan's subordinates on this boat have been eliminated. Bai Xiaowen and the others went to the bottom of the cabin, called out the vampire Kitts, and ordered him to smash the door and pick the lock. Soon, more than 20 fishermen were released, most of them were young and strong men.
There were several half-dressed women.
These fishermen are just ordinary templates with weak strength.
After Bai Xiaowen stated his request, the fishermen were embarrassed for a while, and finally the public recommended a man in his thirties or forties to come forward.
The man bowed, somewhat like a scholar, and said respectfully: "My benefactor has his orders, how dare we disobey him? There are only two difficulties."
"explain."
"Fishermen usually sail boats in small boats. They have never operated such a large boat, so they can only fumble around temporarily. However, the speed of sailing is definitely slower than that of Japanese pirates' experienced hands," the man said, "In addition,
One difficulty is that we have been locked in the bottom cabin. We don’t know where we are or which direction to go. If we want to go back to the Ming Dynasty, we may drive to Nanyang. If we go to Nanyang, we are afraid of encountering
What a hidden reef, one boatload of people will be dead."
"What's your name and what's your business?" Bai Xiaowen heard that this man was not a fisherman.
The man said: "Returning to my benefactor, my late-born name is Xie Sheng, and he is now the teacher of the Xiejia village clan school."
"He is a scholar," Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, handed the [Ship Log] to Xie Sheng, and said, "It records the routes of the Japanese pirate ships these days. Read the text in detail to these fishermen so that they can know it.
Confirm the course and return to land along the way."
Xie Sheng quickly thanked Bai Xiaowen. A dozen fishermen took the helm and raised the sail, and the ship slowly began to turn around.
On several other sea ships, the pirate war was coming to an end.
Originally it was not going to end so soon, but Chen Duyan was killed, which obviously greatly damaged the morale of the pirates on their side. Many pirates under Chen Duyan had no choice but to throw down their weapons and surrender when they saw their leader dead.
You won't die if you surrender.
All the Japanese pirate forces are willing to accept these pirates who have seen bloodshed and killed others, and they are much easier to use than the newly captured good fishermen.
Although Chen Duyan was dead, the pirates with their arms wrapped in white scarves had no intention of letting go of the flagship. After a brief reorganization, they lifted anchor and set sail, and actually caught up with her!
Li Shuyi saw several sailboats approaching, frowned and said: "What are they chasing after? Chen Duyan is obviously dead, and they all saw it."
"I turned over the last few pages of the ship's logbook. Chen Duyan had just conquered a county and plundered a lot of property. It is estimated that this fire was also related to these goods... The looted property was mainly on the flagship.
, then the other party’s intention to catch up is also obvious..."
Bai Xiaowen walked to the cargo hold at the bottom of the big ship. This kind of hard work was done by Kitts. He dug with his claws and quickly pried open the door of the cargo hold.
"Wow..." Kitts whistled.
Li Shuyi was also a little surprised. At first glance, she saw that there were gold and silver utensils and silk cloths piled up in 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?" Kits said with a toothache. "It's a pity that there are so many good things. How many girls can we sleep with if we take them to the shore?"
"Return? Impossible. Besides, even if we return it to them, those pirates won't let us go." Bai Xiaowen saw it clearly.
"Boss is wise," Kitts said in a flattering tone, "how can we spit out the meat once it's in our mouths!"
"Do you still think you are a robber?" Bai Xiaowen glanced at Kitts.
Kitz shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, I've cleared my name...I won't do this anymore."
"These are all ill-gotten gains plundered by Japanese pirates. They should be handed over to the government and returned to the people after landing ashore." Bai Xiaowen said righteously.
Seeing that the pursuing sailboat was approaching, a slender pirate leader wearing sharkskin armor stood on the bow of the ship and said in a loud voice: "Which road is it on the opposite side? Do you know who owns this cargo?"
Bai Xiaowen stood at the stern of the boat: "It belongs to the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"..."
The slender pirate leader’s voice turned cold: “If you meddle in other people’s business, you are seeking death!”
The speed at which the pirates were chasing them was indeed much faster than that of the group of novice fishermen. The sails were driven by the wind and cut through the waves.
Bai Xiaowen took out the Desert Eagle, held the gun in both hands, and aimed at the cable of the opponent's sail.
The slender pirate leader sneered: "I don't believe you have the ability to defeat someone with a hundred steps..."
Tom, tom, tom!
Gunshots rang out continuously.
Bai Xiaowen's current shooting specialty is level 3, and with the bonus of the strongest academic master, it is only level 4. He does not have the ability to hit the cable with perfect accuracy when the two ships are moving at high speed from such a distance. However,
Instead, he turned on the burst mode and used quantity instead of accuracy.
As long as one hit out of ten bullets is enough.
Under the horrified and angry gaze of the lanky pirate leader, the sail rope of the ship he was riding on was shot off, the sail suddenly fell down, and the ship lay across the sea. Following closely, came the second ship, and the third ship.
…
The fishermen on Bai Xiaowen's boat cheered and praised in unison. They gradually got the hang of maneuvering the ship, and their speed gradually increased. It didn't take long before they lost sight of the pirates wrapped in white scarves.
The slender pirate leader's face was gloomy, and he wished he could cut Bai Xiaowen into pieces. At this time, one of his Japanese pirates came to report that he had already connected the cable. Do you want to continue the pursuit?
"Chasing a piece of shit."
The slender pirate leader waved his hand and said, "Having killed Chen Duyan this time, the goal is half accomplished. I can also explain to my brother. Turn around and return to the stronghold!"
Suddenly, a small boat rowed over quickly, and a pirate reported: "Master Hong, on Brother Er Biao's boat, two people suddenly appeared. Luo Xiucai said their names...were acting suspiciously! Do you want to go over and have a look?"
"
"What did Er Biao do? He was able to let people touch the ship without anyone noticing! Wouldn't it be a bad thing if he was a spy for the government?" "Hong Ye", the slender pirate leader, said angrily.
"Master Hong, you don't know something. Those two people fell from the sky and have nothing to do with Brother Er Biao." The pirate was obviously Er Biao's confidant.
"Is this happening?" Mr. Hong didn't believe it.
"It's true. All the brothers on the ship can testify. Those two people also said that they have been admiring the master Xu Ye for a long time and came here to join him. Chen Duyan was killed before, and they can be said to have taken the greatest credit!
"
"So, those people who stole my goods and ran away are also their accomplices?" Mr. Hong said angrily, "I want to ask carefully!"
…
Bai Xiaowen finally set foot on land.
The plundered fishermen, including the school teacher Xie Sheng, were extremely grateful. Bai Xiaowen took out some wealth and coins from the cabin and distributed them to them, so that when they returned, they would not be homeless because their homes were broken.
Starving and freezing in the streets.
Anyway, these wealth and coins are items that cannot be taken out of the spirit world, so Bai Xiaowen doesn't feel bad if you give some away. As for why not give more? Bai Xiaowen still understands the principle that a man is not guilty and carries a jade with him. In the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period,
When strong and powerful gentry take advantage of others, they are no better than Japanese pirates.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the summoned creatures to carry a boatload of goods and stack them in a secluded place, and then let the vampire Kitts take charge of guarding. After doing all this, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and asked along the way to find the nearest coastal defense stronghold of the anti-Japanese Ming army.
, called Chongwu Institute.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were "five guards and twelve posts" in coastal defense in Fujian, and Chongwu Post was one of them. However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the guard post was very average. The records of the Ming Dynasty record that there was a ronin samurai alliance.
The story of a group of hundreds of people traveling thousands of miles, killing and injuring thousands of Ming troops, is not groundless.
In history, the Japanese rebellion was able to be quelled mainly by three people, one civilized and two military.
Let’s talk about the two military generals first, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, known as Yu Long and Qi Hu, who were frightened by Japanese pirates. 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.
Let’s talk about the civil servant, his name is Hu Zongxian.
The Ming Dynasty always valued literature over military affairs. No matter how powerful the generals were, they had to be restrained by scholars. Hu Zongxian was the superior of Yu Long and Qi Hu.
However, unlike in the play where civil servants always hold back military commanders, Hu Zongxian was a capable figure. He organized coastal defense, set up water forts, and reorganized the Ming army's depleted military affairs. And his most powerful thing was not to train and strengthen the army.
But it is the old profession of cultural people to cheat.
Wang Zhi, the pirate tycoon during the Jiajing period, could be called the godfather of pirates. He proclaimed himself King Hui and was based in Japan, nicknamed "Captain of the Five Peaks." There is a saying that shows how powerful he was: "The pirates on the sea cannot be conquered."
(Wang) Those who exercise restraint will not survive.”
However, just such a person was deceived by Hu Zongxian into landing, and then was trapped and killed. This shows how terrible the deception of intellectuals is.
Bai Xiaowen came to Chongwu Station and found that the mental outlook of the soldiers here was much better than imagined. Standing guard and issuing orders and prohibitions were not as lax as imagined. This was obviously the result of Hu Zongxian's rectification.
