"The rain stopped." At this time, most of the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the setting sun. The sea breeze blew up. Pei Ziyun took off his armor leaves and saw several bloody mouths. Although some were elongated, they were not deep.
“Get rid of lochia!”
"Nectar technique!" Because the wound was not deep, it healed quickly and turned into a red line. Pei Ziyun breathed out heavily and saw that there were still fireworks in the village, and someone was organizing to put them out.
"It rained just now, everything is wet. There is no oil and I don't let it go, so I'm not afraid of being ignited." Pei Ziyun stood on the top of the mountain, looking down from a high place, and could see the entire island clearly.
"It looks like there are between 100 and 200 households."
"Some farmland has been reclaimed."
Pei Ziyun took out a silver pot from his arms and took a sip of wine. Cai Yuan came over and stood beside Pei Ziyun. There were scars on his armor and some blood, so he was also injured.
"Cai Qianhu, you see, the island has been conquered, and the Japanese pirates are getting closer to being wiped out." Pei Ziyun said lightly.
"Yes, Mr. Pei, everything is as you expected!" Cai Yuanzhen said, with a look of sincerity on his face: "We have discovered the Japanese pirates' warehouse through the prisoners, please give us instructions."
"Go and have a look!" Pei Ziyun followed Cai Yuanzhen all the way, and soon arrived in front of a room. An iron door was locked outside, and two corps commanders stood guard.
Pei Ziyun only took one look and knew that Cai Yuanzhen had indeed returned home. He didn't even open the door, so he waited for him to open it. His heart warmed and he sighed secretly.
With a flash of sword light, the iron lock was cut open, and he opened the door and went in. Everyone was stunned when he saw it.
Inside, I saw wooden shelves piled with gold and silver. What I saw was dazzling. Cai Yuanzhen breathed quickly and murmured: "There is so much gold and silver, hey, these styles are very strange!"
Pei Ziyun's eyes flashed and he saw that the two sides of the gold bar were painted in ink color, with the words "Shiliang" on one side and the stamp "often" on the other side!
"This is Fuso's gold bar. It weighs ten taels and is ninety-seven gold in color."
"There are two hundred roots and two thousand taels of gold."
"This is official silver, fifty taels each, there are a hundred!" Pei Ziyun opened one and looked at it, and saw the words "Yin Zuo Bureau" stamped on it.
There are also silver bricks at the same time. This is the People's Bank of China. Pei Ziyun walked casually, touched and looked at the statistics, and finally made a rough estimate: "There are 2,000 taels of gold here, and 23,000 taels of silver bricks and ingots in the bank."
"There are about twenty thousand taels of broken silver."
"As for the money, it's about 10,000 yuan."
Pei Ziyun smiled and laughed: "Cai Qianhu, do you want to be promoted?"
Cai Yuanzhen was startled: "Think!"
"If you want, I will give these 2,000 taels of gold to the prince through a secret discount, so that you can be guaranteed to be of the fourth grade!" Pei Ziyun said calmly: "The remaining 23,000 taels should be divided among everyone!"
"There are about 30,000 taels of broken silver and money. Half of it will be confiscated and the other half will be distributed to the soldiers. Everyone will have fifteen taels!"
"how?"
Cai Yuanzhen bowed: "It all depends on Duke Jie Yuan!"
Listening to Cai Yuanzhen's words, Pei Ziyun laughed and asked again: "How many people are there to fight?"
"Master Pei, one hundred and twenty were killed in the battle, and more than two hundred were injured. Now he can fight six hundred." Cai Yuanzhen said seriously when he got down to business.
Pei Ziyun listened and took a few steps: "There are not many Japanese pirates left. The ones who have done the most damage to Dapoliujin Island are not us, but the Japanese pirates."
"Now you must immediately recruit all the captives and people. The prisoners will carry the corpses, and the people will carry the goods and cook the meat. Put the gold in boxes and transport it to the ship."
"Order the soldiers to rest and be on duty in different shifts, and to go to bed immediately after eating meat and rice."
"What should I do if the Japanese pirates attack me?" Cai Yuanzhen hesitated.
Pei Ziyun laughed, pointed at the island and said: "Cai Qianhu, look, Sentou Island, Naval Battle, Liujin Island, three Japanese pirates have been defeated. There are not many enemies left, there are at most a thousand people, and they are not elites - the elites were just now All dead!" Pei Ziyun said.
"And it takes time for the enemy to return from the sea. We should have time to rest. Now that we have fought three times in a row, the soldiers are exhausted and have to eat and sleep."
"Yes, Mr. Pei." Cai Zhenyuan said, with some complicated emotions. The two of them walked out of the building and looked down from a high place. There was a river flowing into the sea in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
"The river, I just explored it when I came up!" Pei Ziyun pointed to the river below: "Although it is a river, it is actually just a natural crack that leads directly to the sea water."
Pei Ziyun pointed: "Our army is exhausted. Now the strategy has changed. The island has been captured. The thieves can rely on rain for water, but they only have a little food on the boat. Order them to get down and all the boats will go up the river. As many as they can carry will be stranded. It doesn’t matter.”
"We have a favorable geographical location. We cannot fight head-on with the enemy. We can just occupy the high ground of the level."
"When we land on the shore, we are still in military formation, but the enemy is always at sea. He may fight us on the boat, but when we land on the shore, we will be nothing but scattered sand."
"As an upright division, we will crush the enemy on the shore in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, sir, I understand." Cai Yuanzhen thought for a while and responded.
At this time, a camp leader came up with some joy. He had some stab wounds on his body, but he didn't care: "Master Pei, I just arrested a leader who was in charge of food and grass. After questioning him, he found that there was not much food and grass on the boat at all. He said he left in a hurry. We didn't expect the enemy to attack, we wanted to fight directly, so the food was still piled in the stockade, and there was only three days' worth of food and fodder on the ship."
Yingzheng was a little anxious as he spoke, choked for a moment, and then said: "Sir, I have checked and there is still a lot of food in the village."
"Haha, God help me, the Japanese pirates must not have much water, no water or food, let's see how they die." Pei Ziyun laughed: "As for the attack on the shore, we waited for work and occupied the important position. When they came, we crushed them in one fell swoop. , If we don’t come, we will be without food and water. Let’s rest for two or three days, save our elite, and go out to sea to annihilate them in one fell swoop.”
These words were so revealing that Cai Yuan was so convinced that he was silent for a moment before saying: "Master Pei is strategizing, and the Japanese pirates are playing with it in his hands, and he expresses his admiration."
"Don't flatter me. It's serious to repair quickly now and set up camp. Cai Qianhu, just prepare as I told you." Pei Ziyun said.
"Yes, sir." Cai Yuanzhen arranged the manpower, feeling a little relaxed as the battle was about to begin.
"Quick, quick," the sergeants shouted, supervising the people to pull the boats up the river.
"One two, one two, come on, one two, one two, come on."
The sergeants on both sides of the strait were building strongholds and arranging for some people to cut wood and set up camp.
The beach was full of darkness, and the Japanese pirates were all tied up. From time to time, some soldiers came forward to interrogate them individually, and reported everything they knew. A few of them were taking notes.
"Hurry, carry the goods to the ship, hurry." One by one, the common people were guarded by the sergeants and moved the gold and silver to the ship.
"Light the fire and cook." Several sergeants supervised, the big pot was full of white rice, and someone was frying pancakes. Amidst the sizzling sound, the fragrant pancakes were made one by one.
Pots of broth were boiling, a little bit of bacon was put in for seasoning, more was slaughtered pigs, fresh meat was stewed, and groups of people ate flatbreads, broth, and pieces of meat.
"Quick, go to bed after eating, no noise!" someone shouted.
Several Taoists treated the soldiers, and the doctors cleaned the wounds. Some serious injuries were repaired by Taoists using spells, and those that were not fatal were treated by doctors.
Pei Ziyun was also busy at this time, using the Ganlin technique to treat serious injuries.
A soldier came forward and brought some meat and rice to Pei Ziyun: "Sir, the food is here."
"Okay, the people patrolling the coast will arrange at least twenty people. Once there is news, they will set off fireworks immediately!" Pei Ziyun also devoured the food.
"Yes, sir." He left in person.
It was busy until midnight. The boat had almost reached the river, the camp was basically completed, and most of the soldiers were asleep, but the people and prisoners were still busy. Pei Ziyun saw this and whispered: "Send someone to keep an eye on it!"
With that said, he turned back to the boat.
At this time, more than a dozen candles were lit in the hall, which was bright and bright. Nearly a hundred people were waiting. On the left and right were hundreds of households and captains of the soldiers, carrying the king's order flag. The two top chairs on the left and right were Cai Yuanzhen and Chen Jin.
Pei Ziyun walked towards the chief, and everyone saluted with a bang.
"Everyone, stand up." Pei Ziyun said, "Please sit down, please!"
Everyone returned to their seats and stood in silence with their hands down. Cai Yuanzhen and Chen Jin took their seats.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen, let's talk about the money we got." Pei Ziyun said lightly.
Chen Jin stood up and said, "Twenty thousand taels of broken silver, and about ten thousand taels of money."
"Thirty thousand taels are public funds, half of which will be given to the commander and below. Twenty taels for those injured in the battle, fifteen taels for those who participated in the battle, ten taels for those who did not fight, and another thirty taels for those who died in the battle!"
There was some commotion below. This was an unprecedentedly generous pension. With so much money, one could live a good life.
"Twenty-three thousand taels of silver bricks and ingots, we divided them."
"Boom!" Everyone couldn't help it anymore and started making noise.
After a while, Pei Ziyun reached out and pressed it, and everyone present fell silent: "The deputy team member is taking one hundred taels, and the team leader is taking one hundred and fifty taels."
This is five thousand taels.
"The deputy battalion is taking two hundred and fifty taels, and the battalion is taking three hundred taels!"
This is two thousand four hundred taels.
"Five hundred taels for a thousand households, one thousand taels for a thousand households!"
"Master Chen has one thousand taels, Master Luo (the captain of the personal soldiers) has one thousand taels. The personal soldiers are equal to the captain of the team, so they all get one hundred and fifty taels."
"This person is unfamiliar to everyone. I can tell you that he was sent from above. Take six hundred taels." Pei Ziyun patted Baihu on the shoulder.
"The remaining 10,000 taels will be given to the governor, and the remaining 5,000 will be given to me. Do you have any opinions?"
"No objection!" At this time, everyone's face was red, as if they were drunk. After hearing this, the whole hall stood up and knelt down: "Thank you, sir, for the reward!"
There was a sudden knock on the door. Pei Ziyun turned his head and listened to the report: "Sir, the Japanese pirates have appeared."
"What?" Pei Ziyun went out. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and on the sea in the distance, ships were faintly approaching. There were more than thirty ships, and one ship was tentatively approaching.
Cai Yuanzhen looked at Pei Ziyun and asked, "Master Pei, what should we do now?"
Chen Jin asked uneasily: "Are you going to wake up the soldiers?"
"Wake up the first battalion. The Japanese pirates are just testing and won't attack in a big way. Wait a minute." Pei Ziyun stared at the sea and waved his hand. After a moment, footsteps began to sound. The soldiers were all sleeping in their clothes. They were all standing there.
