Chapter 34 Section five

Supervisor Shi was running desperately, and when he passed the garden, he saw a group of soldiers tied up strangely on the grass. "What's going on with them?"——On this question, Supervisor Shi only had one thought, and ran past them and ran out of the house. The Ten Commander Liu Kai woke up at this moment, reluctantly raised his head to look at the soldiers.The soldier reported: "Boss, the pirates have escaped." Hearing the news that the Japanese pirates had escaped, Liu Kai lay down again with relief, and ordered the soldiers: "I have been seriously injured, and I need to sleep for a while. Whoever wakes me up will definitely be killed." The soldiers responded in unison. "Decree", after Liu Kai lay down comfortably, he heard someone say: "Boss, this Japanese pirate has an unpredictable personality, who knows what he is doing when he ran out, maybe he will come back after a while, you should let us go first." Come on!"

Liu Kai also felt that it was reasonable, and struggled to get up. After a long time, he finally untied a soldier. His ten fingers were so tired that he said to the soldier: "I give an order. For the rest, you can untie it." After the ten soldiers untied, they supported Liu Kai to go out.When he was about to walk through the gate, a soldier said: "Master Shi, the supervisor, may have been killed. Let's take a look." Liu Kai was startled: "He must have been killed. It's too bad. We have to go out through the gate, and we will never be able to get out again." Relationship." After thinking for a while, he waved his hand: "We have to go out of the ditch, so that no one will know that we have been here."

A group of people returned to the garden pond and were about to jump into the ditch one by one. One soldier said, "Mr. Although I didn’t see anyone along the way, I always felt that there were pairs of eyes peeping at us behind the door curtains, pillars, and bushes.” Liu Kai sat down on the ground, patted his thigh and shouted, "Why did you force me to kill someone! Forget it, Mr. Supervisor Shi must have died. You go and kill all those maids and servants. The officials must think that it was also done by Japanese pirates." The ten soldiers shouted "De Ling" in unison, spread out their formation and approached the inner courtyard.

They walked a few steps and came back again, telling: "Boss, all our weapons have been disarmed by the Japanese pirates, and our hands are empty, what are we going to use to kill people?" Liu Kai slapped his face and cursed: "You are all regular troops of my Daming, After many years of training, your hands should be very strong. If you don't have weapons, just strangle them." Ten soldiers entered the inner courtyard in desperation, all muttering in their hearts: "It's too cruel." There were five maids and two male servants in the inner courtyard, who gathered in the kitchen to prepare dinner.Ten soldiers rushed in, smelled the aroma of food, and felt hungry and thirsty for a while.They rushed forward and shouted: "Don't move, don't move." They grabbed the steamed buns and chewed a few mouthfuls. Their hunger was relieved a little, and they rushed forward and strangled the two male servants.Then surrounded five maids.

The five maids are all in their young age, married with their wife, and have been influenced by culture since childhood.Their temperament was something that the soldiers had never seen. A soldier asked kindly, "Are you all young ladies?" The maids said, "No, we are maids." The maids have reached this level, and the quality of the wife is even more desirable.The ten soldiers exchanged glances with each other, and the maids immediately knew their evil intentions.However, the cultural temperament of the maids made the soldiers feel a little inferior. A soldier stretched out his hand trembling slightly, but was beaten by the maids, and he never had the courage to stretch out a second time.

The culture of the Ming Dynasty has reached a very high level, and since the Ming Taizu, the system of suppressing military officials by civil officials has been affected for three hundred years, forming a general awe of scholars among soldiers.The soldiers surrounded the maid in shame and did not move for a long time. The maids exchanged glances with each other, and one maid said, "We know what you think, that's fine. But there are five of us and ten of you. This kind of combination also shows that we are all too unqualified." When the soldiers heard this, they immediately took action, fetching chopsticks and preparing to draw lots.The maids looked at each other again, and one of the maids said: "This method is too unmanly. Can't you be men and kill each other a few?" Upon hearing this, the ten soldiers immediately strangled each other. Together.

After a bag of cigarettes, a soldier climbed up from the pile of corpses with his face covered in blood, looked at the nine dead comrades in arms, and said sadly: "Why! Why do you forget to count the number of people at any time!" His gaze There is a kind of deep understanding, looking up at the five maids, and said: "I am the only one left now, and the other one will not appear to be of low quality to the five of you, right?" Five maids: "This combination, you are simply a master." After speaking, he took out the door latch from behind. It was a hardwood five feet long and four inches wide, weighing seven catties, and slapped it on the soldier's head. ——

At this time, in the Moon Gate, the Fourth Mrs. Shi, the supervisor, took the ax of Handan Iron and Steel Co., tried to swing it a few times, and threw it on the ground with a "clang" and said unhappily, "It's too heavy. And the shape is not good." nice." The swordsman was too embarrassed to speak.She was sullen, and slowly glanced at the Japanese sword in the swordsman's hand, and immediately shouted: "I want this!" The swordsman coughed, and said slowly: "Madam, I still have work to do, so I can't leave it to you." She put away the little girl's expression, became dignified again, picked up the ax from the ground, and said Said: "I'll just use it." Seeing her fragile appearance, the swordsman suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to hug her, and he told himself in his heart: "This is wrong." Pulling the handle of the ax aside, he hugged her into his arms.

The sunset light from the window dimmed, and the sky gradually darkened.He and her had been fused for a while, the swordsman was lying drunk, and she was obediently lying on his side.The swordsman put his arms around her in his left arm and held the long and narrow knife in his right hand. He suddenly said, "Do you know who the collaborator of General Qi Jiguang is?" She murmured: "I know, it's General Yu Dayou. Why do you ask this?" Swordsman: "Don't ask. What do you know about him?" She shook her head. Swordsman: "Then let me tell you, you must always remember. General Yu had many brilliant ideas, even surpassing General Qi. For example, he found out that the motherland of the Japanese pirates was falling into a melee between princes, and there was no centralization of power. It is possible to organize financial resources and manpower for scientific research, so their navigation skills are very low, far inferior to my Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for Japanese pirates to have large-scale warships."

Her eyes lit up: "You mean, to deal with Japanese pirates, don't wait for them to go ashore, just snipe from the sea, and you can solve the future trouble forever?" Her intelligence made the swordsman feel comfortable. He stroked her hair and said, "This is what General Yu meant. Put the decentralized power under one person's unified command. Ever since Emperor Taizu, the imperial court has been afraid that military officers will have too much power, so it is impossible to adopt General Yu's suggestion." She sighed, and the swordsman said: "If you can't go to sea, you can only wipe out the enemy on land. But the imperial court has never allowed the army to develop normally. Our army is actually just a militia with poor organization and poor armament. The Japanese pirates are well-trained. Su's tactics are ingenious, although the court always said that we use the regular army to deal with the bandits, in fact it is the regular army to deal with our militia."

She: "Yes, when I was a child, I heard that Japanese pirates are all highly skilled in martial arts. They can often defeat more with less, and defeat our troops in one blow. I think it's very abnormal, so it's the reason." The swordsman sat up excitedly: "Since martial arts can't defeat the enemy, General Yu offered another suggestion, which is to ask the court to approve silver, make a large number of muskets, and win with advanced weapons. Unfortunately, out of the same scruples, the court still did not Adopted. That’s why General Qi later invented the mandarin duck formation and General Yu invented the cudgel knife. We didn’t have to win so hard, and the battlefield is not a martial arts arena, so we have to use martial arts to compete.” She: "However, the two generals solved the problem of Japanese pirates with the least amount of money and the smallest scale of war. I think this simple and practical method is more worthy of praise than using guns in naval battles." Swordsman: "Back then, the imperial court and the common people also had the same idea as you. This is a woman's idea. We restricted the fleet muskets. If other countries did not restrict it, our country would have to be beaten passively in the future. Unfortunately, after the Japanese pirates were quelled, the two After more than ten years of peace, the court and the people of the country are used to being at ease, and no one will worry about worrying again." The woman also sat up, and observed the swordsman suspiciously: "I heard that Japanese pirates sneaked into the city. Now let's talk about it, why did you come to my house?" The swordsman jumped out of bed, quickly put on the uniform of the inspector historian, and said, "Hang up the lantern at the door. I promise, someone will come and kill you in a while." Then he went out with the knife.The woman called out: "Will I see you again in the future?" Asked the knifeman's unfeeling voice: "You kill a few people, and I will see you again a few times." She grew up in a deep courtyard and never went to the street before she got married. She spent a serious and tense childhood and adolescence. She had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, study the Four Books and Five Classics, and train her poetry creation ability in seven steps , but never knew what camels and hedgehogs looked like, because her grandfather was a cultural celebrity. After she got married, she pursued excitement and dreamed of having a secret life while monitoring Mrs. Shi.The woman sat on the bed for a while, put on her clothes, picked up the bamboo pole behind the door, picked out the lantern on the door, lit it, and hung it up. She looked at Han Gang's body under the moon gate, and found that she hadn't moved the slightest emotion.She shook her head regretfully, knowing that in her heart, the dead man had been replaced.She entered the house, picked up the hatchet on the ground, and hid in the shadow of the wall.
