Seeing that he asked so straightforwardly, Jin Chengzhong was embarrassed to shout out his heart, and slightly arched his fist and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, when we deal with Japan, you will definitely be able to see thousands of troops. !”
With thousands of troops and horses, this must be a situation where the two countries are at war?
Xiao Chen snorted softly: "If you really had thousands of troops, you wouldn't have to be so apologetic, right?"
As people who have subjugated their country, they have no one to protect them, and they will be hunted down.
With such a premise, how can we gather troops and have the power to support a big country?
Jin Chengzhong curled his lips confidently, "You'll know when the time comes."
"Those Japanese people had better not come. If they dare to come, they will not be able to leave our territory!"
Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, an eager figure from afar suddenly rushed over and knelt directly in front of Xiao Chen.
"President Xiao, something big happened. The Japanese invaded, and the residents along the coast were burned, killed, and looted. Now it's a mess!"
The fishing rod in Xiao Chen's hand even slipped off, and he was in a state of confusion.
He snorted coldly, "Cao Cao will be here soon!"
There was no time to consider who Cao Cao was.
Jin Chengzhong quickly reminded: "Your Highness, you'd better take someone over to have a look!"
Xiao Chen ordered the person who reported the news to gather troops, and he followed Jin Chengzhong to the coastal areas.
As I hurried to a higher place, I saw several large boats parked on the seashore not far away, and many people carrying chickens, ducks, and gold and silver jewelry ran up to them.
Those people who are smiling brightly but showing extremely vulgarity are really disgusting.
Jin Chengzhong clenched his fists slightly, and an ominous premonition spread in his heart.
"These people are returning home with a full load. I'm afraid the people along the coast have suffered a lot."
They hurriedly went down the high slope. As soon as they arrived at the beach, they found that the sand under their feet was red.
The sea breeze is salty, and the breath is mixed with the strong smell of blood, and the pungent feeling goes straight to the brain.
He tried to keep calm, but to no avail.
Looking around, there were corpses everywhere, and the blood and the water in the granules blended together.
Those are countless ordinary people who live in ordinary life!
"Your Highness, look over there!"
Following Jin Chengzhong's line of sight, a village not far away was burning with flames, and a faint cry for help could be heard.
"Help, help!"
"There are still people inside, go and save them immediately!"
Xiao Chen rushed over directly, and Jin Chengzhong quickly followed behind.
The fire was burning so fiercely that as soon as you entered, you would be engulfed in a sea of flames.
The roaring inside continued, not of fear but of pain, and it was probably that it had been eaten away by the fire.
Jin Chengzhong quickly grabbed his waist: "Your Highness, if you can't go in, you will also be buried in a sea of fire!"
"Then you're going to see innocent people engulfed in fire?"
That would be burning to death, how painful it must be, and how desperate it must be!
Until the sound gradually dissipated, he knew that the people inside were hopeless.
The fire burned more and more fiercely. Jin Chengzhong pulled him away for a long distance, and he could still feel the hot firelight making his whole body feel hot.
"These damn Japanese are harassing the coast, robbing treasures, setting fires and killing people. They really do all kinds of evil."
Just at this moment, the Dongchang guards who followed Xiao Chen hurried over.
Seeing this scene, the atmosphere was quite heavy, and everyone looked at Xiao Chen with dull eyes.
"Sorry sir, we are late."
"It's none of your business, it's just that those Japanese people are too cunning."
He said through gritted teeth, then turned around and ordered in a stern voice: "From now on, we will fight against the Japanese people until death!"
Because everyone's mood was particularly heavy, they also raised their arms and shouted: "We will fight until we die!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to interrupt their passion: "Go and call the Jiangdong Military Governor!"
He turned back to his residence, and the Governor of the Army hurried to him.
"Director Xiao, what are your orders?"
When he saw Xiao Chen, he was not too polite, and could vaguely feel a hint of arrogance.
In terms of official positions, although the two are equally matched.
But in terms of identity, he was personally sent by the emperor to help Jiang Dongdao solve the problem, so he should be courteous to him.
Such arrogance may be due to prejudice.
Xiao Chen snorted softly: "Do you look down on this governor?"
"President Xiao, don't think too much. Why would you look down on the dignified Governor of Dongchang at home? He is a lackey of the eunuch next to the emperor!"
These two words seem particularly fresh and refreshing.
Xiao Chen sneered, "Stooge?"
He kicked him directly, "If I am a lackey, do I still need to hide in this place and suffer?"
Caught off guard, Wei Baian stumbled and fell on his butt, staring at him fiercely: "Xiao Chen, how dare you hit me?"
"What's wrong with beating you? You still care about these personal grudges before the overall situation. Even if I kill you, it won't be an exaggeration!"
Xiao Chen held a long sword in his hand and pointed it directly at him. The sword tip was as sharp as if it could kill someone in the next second.
Everyone held their breath and their hearts were twisted into a ball.
Jin Chengzhong subconsciously tried to persuade him, but was stopped by Ji Hongluan, "Don't worry, you are not an impulsive person."
At this time, Wei Baian was a little panicked, "If you kill me, how will you explain to the emperor!"
"The order given to me by the emperor is to purge the Japanese people. If you don't cooperate, you are affecting the work."
"If I don't kill you, the Japanese troubles here can't be solved, how can I explain to the emperor?"
Xiao Chen shouted loudly, and suddenly he knelt on one knee in front of him, "Now I give you two choices, obey the order or die and find someone to replace you."
His fierce eyes seemed to be able to engulf people.
After swallowing his saliva, Wei Baian did not dare to argue with Wei Baian anymore and could only grit his teeth and compromise: "I will obey the orders of the Lord of the Cult in everything."
"That's right. You immediately mobilize all the troops in Jiangdong Road. We will board the ship directly and enter Japan!"
Wei Baian straightened up slowly, but his expression did not relax.
He pursed his lips and said tangledly: "Even if you really want to kill them, you shouldn't be so impulsive. Those people have been here for a long time. If you rush into their territory rashly, you may not get any benefits."
Xiao Chen straightened up, fighting with his long sword, squinting at him and sneered: "As the military governor of Jiangdong, you are in charge of so many troops, but because of your cowardice and incompetence, you let them run wild in your own territory."
"I didn't fight before, and I won't fight now. When are you going to fight?"
"Wait until this place is eaten away until there is only an empty shell left, and everyone becomes the spiritual slaves of the Japanese people. At that time will you think of useless resistance?"
Wei Baian was speechless by the rebuke, and in the end he could only bite the bullet and give the order: "Come here, gather all the troops in Jiangdong and prepare to attack the Japanese!"
