Chapter 2027 Xu Hai's Response
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when people in South Zhili and Zhejiang were still immersed in the New Year, Xu Hai and his group of Japanese pirates almost came out in full force, divided into dozens of groups of varying sizes, rushed into South Zhili and northern Zhejiang, burning, killing and looting.
In order to avoid a wasted trip during the New Year, the Japanese pirates scouted the area in advance and selected the villages and towns to attack based on the intelligence provided by spies.
They usually choose those wealthy villages and towns with many fat sheep, and those that are easy to capture.
This time, almost 80% of the Japanese pirates rushed to Southern Zhili, and only about 20% rushed to northern Zhejiang.
"Damn it, why can't we contact so many of the insiders in Zhejiang?! At first, the important people surnamed Zhu took refuge in the city, but now it's the New Year, and the people have to go home for the New Year. Damn it, the New Year is a good time to take action, but damn it, without the insiders to provide information, it's difficult for us to take action!"
While leading the Japanese pirates on the journey, Ma Ye couldn't help but curse.
"This is all thanks to the 'Ten Households Baojia System' created by Mr. Zhu. Those traitors are scared! They have become cowards! They dare not contact us or respond to us!" Xu Hai said with a gloomy face.
"A few days ago, I received news that Zhu Ping'an, that bastard, was going to implement the 'Ten Households Baojia System' in Zhejiang. I didn't take it seriously, thinking that Zhu's evil deeds would lead to the tyrannical Qin Dynasty's collective responsibility system. The people would be filled with grief and curses, and we would just drag someone into the water. I didn't expect that this collective responsibility system would be used to deal with us who were inside! As long as Zhu Ping'an is not dead, we will never have peace!"
Ma Ye cursed Zhu Ping'an endlessly. He really didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an's method of collective punishment would have such a huge impact on them.
"It's not just an insider!" Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Ah? What else?" Ma Ye was stunned. He only saw the accomplice and nothing else.
"Zhu Ping'an came up with this 'Ten Households Baojia Law'. He is trying to cut us off from the people! He is trying to cut off our connection with the people, plug our ears, and cover our eyes. He is cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron! He is draining the pond to catch the fish! If this continues for a long time, we in Zhejiang will become fish swimming in the bottom of the cauldron!"
Xu Hai said with a serious face.
"Ah! So serious!" Ma Ye opened his mouth wide, and then asked anxiously, "What should we do? We can't just watch Zhu Ping'an drain our resources and kill all the fish in the pond!"
"Let's follow the list provided by the insider and grab a handful of things this time so we can have a prosperous New Year! After the New Year, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, we will gather our elite troops and go to northern Zhejiang to turn the place upside down!"
"Isn't Zhu Ping'an going to create the 'Ten Households Baojia Law'? Isn't he going to punish everyone collectively, so that the common people will be afraid and won't dare to have an affair with us again! On the seventh day of the first lunar month, we will select three villages and towns that have followed the 'Ten Households Baojia Law' as models, and kill them without a single survivor, leaving a river of blood. Then we will select a county that has followed the 'Ten Households Baojia Law' as a model, and after we have conquered the county, we will ruthlessly kill, burn, and rob! By the way, we can avenge the blood feud that took place under Suzhou City that year, and collect some interest first!"
"The common people must abide by the 'Ten Households Baojia Law', right? If they do, we will kill them at their doorsteps! We will kill the village that abides by it best!"
"After we kill them, we will spread the word and let the people know that whoever abides by the 'Ten Households Baojia Law' is seeking death!"
"Zhu Ping'an will at most implicate ten households in the village. We want to kill at least an entire village, not just the people. We want to kill everyone!"
"I want to see if the common people still dare to abide by the 'Ten Households Baojia Law'! I want to see how Zhu Ping'an's 'Ten Households Baojia Law' can be enforced!"
Xu Hai smiled grimly, drew out his Japanese sword, pointed the tip of the sword at northern Zhejiang, and said murderously.
"It's really high. Aren't the common people afraid? Let's see if they are afraid of death this time! Whoever abides by the 'Ten Households Baojia Law' is against us, and we will chop up his entire family and his entire village!"
"Let them choose!"
After hearing Xu Hai's words, Ma Ye couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Ma, we have agreed that you will take us to capture a county town today. After the robbery, we will set sail and report back to the family governor, asking him to send a large army to join forces with Mr. Xu and Mr. Ma to fight together!"
Shingen Ryuzoji couldn't wait to tell Xu Hai and Maye that he didn't care about the ten-household baojia system at all.
"Who cares if there are ten or a hundred households under the baojia system? As long as the head of the family sends a large army, we can unite our forces and no one can stop us! How can a household name withstand a single blow?!"
Matsuura Shimosaburo also said nonchalantly.
They had been in the Ming Dynasty for ten days and a half months. They went out to burn, kill and rob every day. They had never met an opponent! No matter how big or rich the villages and towns were, there were not many people who dared to resist. They were all killed and humiliated at will! The few times they encountered Ming Dynasty soldiers, they either fled when they saw them from a distance, or they fled in panic after a charge and killing!
In their eyes, the people of the Ming Dynasty were all pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered! The Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers were also a group of vulnerable rabble!
Their elite Japanese warriors can easily defeat ten enemies at once, and even their foot soldiers can defeat five at once. The Ming officers and soldiers are no match for them at all.
As long as their family head sent a large army, it would be a complete dimensionality reduction attack, and they could easily defeat the Ming army and occupy the Ming people's territory.
The Ming Dynasty is too big, dozens of times the size of their country, and too rich. The wealth of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of times that of their country. A random village is almost as big as a city in Japan. As long as the family head occupies the south of the Ming Dynasty, with the overwhelming wealth of the Ming Dynasty, he will be able to quickly spread his military power to Japan!
After the family head has deployed military forces to Japan, he will lead the elite Japanese warriors to deploy military forces to the Ming Dynasty, completing an unprecedented deployment of military forces throughout the world!
And these retainers who took the lead in coming to Daming to fight in the front will definitely gain the trust and reward of the head of the family, and become the most famous among the people under the head of the family! Their names will be recorded in the history of Japan, and they will be worshipped and worshipped by generations!
"Don't worry. This time we have gathered 8,000 troops and sailed up the coast and along the Yangtze River. There is a county called 'Jiangyin', which belongs to Changzhou Prefecture, the 'Important Town in the Three Wus'. It is a very prosperous county in the south of the Yangtze River. Our target today is Jiangyin County! We have an insider in Jiangyin who has reported that the magistrate of Jiangyin County is going to host a banquet for the gentry and the big families in Jiangyin today, and their defenses are empty! Let's take it down in one fell swoop today!"
"It's Chinese New Year now, Jiangyin County will be our New Year gift to your family head as a token of our appreciation."
Xu Hai smiled slightly and said to Ryuzoji Shingen and Matsuura Shimosaburo, promising to give Jiangyin County as a New Year's gift.
Ma Ye was hesitant to speak and finally did not say anything, tacitly agreeing to Xu Hai's promise.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Ma, you are so great. On behalf of the head of the family, I thank you for your generosity. With these spoils, I am 100% sure that I can persuade the head of the family to send a large army to join Mr. Xu and Mr. Ma in this great event."
Shingen Ryuzoji bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you Xu-kun and Ma-kun!"
Matsuura Shimosaburo also bowed and thanked him.
