Chapter 438 I gave you a chance, but you are useless
Yokomichi Izo slapped himself hard to make himself more sober!
Then he raised the knife in his right hand and rushed towards Wan Yonggui while screaming, looking like he was fighting for his life.
Wan Yonggui stared at his movements closely.
In the blink of an eye, Henglu Jingsan rushed in front of Wan Yonggui and chopped down with his knife.
Wan Yonggui dodged to the side again and stretched out his hand to grab Henglu Jingsan's wrist.
A smug look flashed in Yokoro Izo's eyes for a moment. He ignored his right hand that was caught, and pulled out the wakizashi with his left hand, stabbing it towards Wan Yonggui's chest.
The two people were too close, and if Wan Yonggui was not on guard, his life would be over!
However, as the old saying goes, the devil is one foot high and the Tao is ten feet high. Wan Yonggui has been on guard against him for a long time.
When a person is on his deathbed, there is nothing he can't do!
There are two knives stuck in Yokoro Izo's chest. It can't be for fun, it must be to save his life!
The previous two times, Henglu Jingsan held the knife with both hands, but this time he held it with one hand. Wan Yonggui knew that this guy was going to use a dirty trick.
Just as Henglu Jingsan was about to slash with his left hand, Wan Yonggui had already grabbed Henglu Jingsan's right wrist with both hands.
Then, he bent down and made a 360-degree turn from right to left.
I saw Henglu Jingsan involuntarily following Wan Yonggui around, and then he fell to the ground with his face up and his back facing the ground.
There was a "crack" sound of broken bones, and Yokomichi Izo's arm was broken.
It's been twisted into a knot, how can it not break?
"Bagya Road!"
Yokomichi San screamed in pain and fainted.
Wan Yonggui curled his lips,
"I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!"
"The Chief of Staff is mighty!"
"The Chief of Staff is mighty!"
The soldiers witnessed the general's terrifying strength with their own eyes and were all convinced.
They cheered loudly. The army is a place that respects the strong. From now on, no one dares to compromise when Wan Yonggui gives an order!
Wan Yonggui ordered,
"Let the military doctor set his bones! Everyone else, clean up the battlefield!"
"Yes!"
While cleaning the battlefield, Cai Hemin and others also arrived.
Seeing the mess on the ground and the surviving pirates kneeling on the ground trembling, he laughed loudly.
"Chief of Staff, well done!"
Wan Yonggui asked,
"Deputy Commander, how are things going over there?"
Cai Hemin recounted the situation.
"We've captured over twenty prisoners, along with a number of large and small boats. I doubt anyone who jumped into the sea or fell into the water would have survived. It's pitch dark, and I didn't send the soldiers to search!"
Someone came to report.
"Reporting to the Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff, a total of 356 prisoners were captured, half of whom were wounded, and the rest were dead."
Cai Hemin ordered,
"Clean up the battlefield carefully, don't let any pirates escape, and then take them all back!"
At this point, except for those who fell into the sea and disappeared, the entire group of Japanese pirates led by Yokomichi Izo were wiped out!
Great victory, great victory, great victory for the new army of the imperial court!
When this news was reported to King Li Sheng, Li Sheng was both happy and a little bit unbelievable.
Is it true that they completely wiped out nearly a thousand Japanese pirates? Have the Japanese pirates become so vulnerable?
He immediately sent Park Ok-ju to visit the troops and to see whether the victory was real.
When Park Yu-ju saw with his own eyes the captured Japanese pirate ships, the bodies of the Japanese pirates, and captives such as Yokomichi Izo, he believed it.
Not only was the great victory real, but not even a single head was falsely reported.
If this had happened after the Korean army's great victory, who knows how much false military merit would have been reported!
Park Yu-ju asked to take all the prisoners back, and Cai Hemin said,
"Pick out the most heinous criminals and bring them back to the king. The emperor said he'll transport the rest to the mainland to repair the riverbanks!"
After the emperor said so, Park Yuzhu didn't dare to say anything else and had to pick out forty or fifty people with extremely serious crimes and bring them back.
Li Sheng was very happy after listening to Park Yuzhu's report.
With a way to stop the Japanese pirates, the people will gradually feel at ease.
He issued an edict to hold a public trial in the capital!
Whether it is fair or not is not important; the main thing is the judgment.
Expose the thieves like Henglu Jingsan in public and let the people throw stones, bricks, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at them to vent their anger.
The most important thing is to let the people feel the ability of the government. We are not useless and we can protect you!
Sure enough, by the time the people had vented their anger, Yokomichi Isan and the others were already half dead.
These Japanese pirates were killed or skinned alive, and the common people knelt on the ground to thank the king for a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!
Li Cunxuan's frown relaxed a little, and he no longer complained to the king every day for letting a wolf into the house!
After the emperor returned from the court, he said that he had promised the emperor to station troops on the peninsula, and he jumped three feet high.
"My king, you are confused!
We are being harassed by Japanese pirates along the coast. If they hadn't landed on our island, we would have been in danger. How could we allow the imperial court to station troops there for a long time?"
Li Sheng could become the king because of Li Cunxuan. He respected and feared Li Cunxuan!
So, even when Li Cunxuan and he were jumping around, he didn't get angry. Besides, it seemed like he was in the wrong.
"Your Excellency, you said you would ask the court for help. Why are you going back on your word now?"
Li Cunxuan said,
"Your Majesty, I am not going back on my word. I just want to learn from them and see if they have any good way to deal with the Japanese pirates!
Even if we take a step back, even if we send troops to help us, they will leave after the battle. How can they stay here for a long time?
Li Shengdao,
"There are some things I can't tell you. The emperor has a deep meaning for stationing troops here!"
Li Sheng remembered the saying "If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers". As a ruler,
You should be like Zhuge Kongming, who is good at planning and has great knowledge in his mind.
You have to be shrewd and not tell your ministers everything without saying anything!
Li Cunxuan didn't know what the emperor meant, but he knew that there was something wrong when these soldiers came for no reason.
"Your Majesty, the court also said that they would send a large number of officials to help us?"
Li Sheng frowned and said,
"Yes, after hearing me describe our plight, the Emperor felt deeply for us and immediately instructed several ministers to select suitable and capable officials to help us develop agriculture, the economy, and industry!"
Li Cunxuan was anxious.
"Your Majesty, I heard that these people are all officials of the fifth rank and above. How are we going to accommodate them when they arrive?"
Li Shengdao,
"Just place them according to their official positions!"
Li Cunxuan said,
"I'm afraid these people will take over most of our government departments!
We have 10 to 20 million people, can't we elect officials?"
Li Shengdao,
"The emperor has chosen talented people, and they can also train talents for us!"
Li Cunxuan stamped his feet and beat his chest,
"Your Majesty, these people are here, like tofu dropped into a pile of ash. They can't be hit or slapped. Isn't that like adding a bunch of emeritus emperors?"
