Spring went to autumn, and soon half a year passed, and the capital gradually transitioned from spring to summer, and then ushered in a cool autumn.

In the past six months, several major events have occurred in the capital.

First of all, the first major event was that Lord Shangshu Min of the Ministry of War, who had just been promoted to a cabinet scholar, was impeached by Lord Shi Ni, the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court, for embezzling military salaries and smuggling weapons.

After that, the Holy Lord ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple to jointly hear the case.

After more than three months of examination, the Third Division finally found out that there were indeed many incumbent officials in the military department who had embezzled military salaries, and some of them embezzled a particularly large amount.

As for the crime of smuggling weapons, the Third Division did not find strong human and material evidence, so it was dismissed.

Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Lord Shang Shumin of the Ministry of War was also involved in the case of embezzlement of military salaries, as the head of the Ministry of War, he could not escape the charge of neglecting supervision of his subordinates and ignoring the use of personnel.

Coupled with the repeated impeachments of a large group of imperial historians led by Lord Ni of the Imperial Governor of Zuodu, Lord Min, who had been in the cabinet for less than half a month, was not only deprived of the title of Cabinet Scholar by the Holy Lord, but also took away the position of secretary of the Ministry of War. The direct official was demoted by two levels, and he was demoted to the right to participate in politics from the third grade.

As for the vacant cabinet candidates, they will be topped by the priest of the country, Lord Zhang.

The second major event is that the father of Concubine Xie Guifei in the palace, that is, An Guogong, who has been guarding the southwest border pass, returned to the capital for the first time to rest after an interval of five years, in order to participate in the wedding of the second grandson Xie Changting to marry Princess Yanfang.

The third major event is that the Northwest General, that is, Ning Zhiyuan, the Duke of Zhenguo, returned to the capital to report on his work after successfully controlling the Northwest Plague. Because of his meritorious service in curing the plague, the Holy God greatly praised it.

The fourth thing is not strictly a big deal, but it has to do with the third.

After half a year of surveillance, there have been no new sores in Northwest China. It can be seen that the method of inoculation is indeed effective.

So the little son-in-law of Ning Zhiyuan, the prince of Zhenguo, Su Zhen, who is the owner of the Literary Newspaper, successfully found a miracle medicine that could make people not disperse sores when the plague broke out, and assisted his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan to deal with the great plague in the northwest.

Because of his great merit, the saint specially decreed that he be knighted and given a thousand taels of gold.

In the holy decree, Su Zhen was named a second-class uncle, given the name Jing Wenbo, hereditary replacement, and his descendants will be forever.

Although the fourth thing is really not comparable to the other three major events, it is the top priority for many fans of Mr. Chi Fei's books.

After they learned that Mr. Chi Fei had been knighted by the Holy Lord, they were all overjoyed and wrote letters to the newspaper to congratulate them.

Chi Fei is not a person who likes to pretend to be cold, and immediately posted an article in the literary newspaper to express his gratitude to all readers who supported him, and said that he Chi someone will continue to be serialized in the literary newspaper as always, and I hope you will continue to support him.

As soon as this article came out, readers were very pleased and warm-hearted.

I deeply feel that Mr. Chi Fei is really the Mr. Chi Fei they are familiar with, and he will not change because of the knighthood.

At this time, all readers are eagerly waiting for when Mr. Chi Fei's new book will start serialization, and they are speculating about what topics this new book will write about.

It turned out that half a month ago, the twelfth and final volume of "Rebirth" was finally released as scheduled.

What is now serialized in the literary newspaper is only the content of the later chapters of the twelve volumes. As long as you have read the book, you already know the next plot.

In fact, strictly speaking, this twelfth volume should be regarded as a side story of "Rebirth". Because the main story was written as early as the eleventh volume.

The eleventh volume is about the Second War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and it is also the most thrilling volume in the whole book.

The story continues back to the content of the tenth volume, after catching the profiteer who collaborated with the Japanese invaders, Jiang Ming knew that there would be a large number of Japanese soldiers preparing to go ashore and sneak attack the county seat.

So he immediately put the whole city on emergency alert, and then transferred all the militia to prepare for battle.

Through the scout's reconnaissance report, Jiang Ming learned that there were more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers ashore this time, which was far beyond his expectations.

On the other hand, after this period of continuous recruitment, the number of militia has increased from 3,000 to more than 6,000.

Although there were about 1,000 more than the Japanese Invaders, most of them were poorly trained recruits, and if they were tough, they would probably not be the opponents of the Japanese Invaders.

In addition, the Japanese suffered a big loss last time, and if they tried to attack from both sides of the road again, they would not have succeeded again, so they had to find another way.

Although the Japanese invaders were menacing this time, in addition to constantly recruiting new recruits in the past few months, Jiang Ming also did another thing, that is, he sent a large number of people to build a unique urn city.

The so-called urn city refers to the small city built at the outer entrance of the city gate, the height is the same as the big city, and its shape resembles an urn, so it is called the urn city.

However, Jiang Ming did not build an urn city outside the city gate according to the conventional practice, but went the opposite way and built an urn city on the inside of the city gate, so it can be called an inner urn city.

This inner urn city is another hole card in his hand.

He is going to use this inner urn city to carry out his plan to close the door and beat the dogs.

When the 5,000 Japanese invaders came to the front of the city wall of the county seat, except for a small number of men sent to guard on both sides of the road, the others began to launch a fierce siege battle against the county seat.

At this time, the Japanese found that there were not many soldiers defending the city, and all of them looked very panicked, which confirmed the profiteer's statement, and the officers and soldiers in the city had indeed left.

So the Japanese invaders fought more vigorously, and all thought that after attacking the city, they would go on a killing spree, so as to revenge the last time.

After the two sides fought for a while, the soldiers defending the city finally couldn't stand it due to lack of manpower and retreated one after another.

Without the help of the guards, the would-be robbers quickly smashed open the gates with giant logs and rushed into the city.

However, as soon as the pirates entered the city, they were dumbfounded, and saw that there was a city wall inside.

Only the leader of the Japanese was not surprised. Because he had long known from the profiteers that the hateful Jiang Zhi County had ordered people to build another wall in the city in the past half a year.

Without further ado, the leader of the pirates immediately ordered everyone to attack the new wall.

Just as these would-be robbers rushed to the front of the urn city, countless figures suddenly poked out from above the arrow tower of the urn city, and they all shot arrows downward.

Due to the suddenness of this rain of arrows, many of them were injured or killed by arrows on the spot.

Frightened and furious, the pirates immediately launched a fierce siege as before, and the two sides fought fiercely.

This was going on, but the leader of the Japanese felt that something was wrong.

Didn't the profiteer say that all the officers and soldiers in the city had left? And how do these people explain it?

Just as he was confused, he suddenly smelled a strange smell.

He glanced around, finally spotting the anomaly.

I saw that the ground was not ordinary mud and sand, but covered with damp straw, and those strange smells came from these straws.

He picked up some straw from the ground and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and then his face changed greatly, and then he went crazy and shouted at the people around him to run, run, run.

However, he was still a step too late, and several rockets were fired from the top of the arrow tower in the city towards the wakes behind the would-be robbers.

As soon as the rockets landed, the straw laid on the ground was ignited, and spread rapidly at an uncontrollable speed, quickly turning into a raging fire, and constantly approaching the place where the pirates stood.

Seeing these sudden flames, the pirates were all stupefied, and they had no idea what was happening.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Japanese Bandits suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his face was colorless.

He knew that the fire had spread so quickly because all the straw on the ground had been poured with oil. The strange smell he had just smelled was the smell of fire oil.

It turned out that they had all fallen into someone else's trap.

At this moment, there was a new movement on the side of the urn city.

More people appeared on the tower, and those who had bows and arrows in their hands threw arrows downward, and threw stones down if they did not have bows and arrows, and in short, they attacked wherever there were many people.

Seeing that there were so many guards on top of the tower, the leader of the Japanese knew that he would not be able to attack it in a short time.

What's worse is that the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it will soon burn over, and then everyone will have to burn pigs.

The only way to survive now is to rush out.

So the leader of the pirates immediately shouted to all the pirates who could still move to rush with him to the city gate.

Just as the first group of pirates rushed to the city gate, there was a sudden burst of screams ahead.

When Ding Qing, the leader of the Japanese invaders, took a look, he saw that a large number of soldiers had gathered at the city gate.

At this time, blocking the gate of the city were hundreds of soldiers armed with wolf stalks and spears.

The so-called inch long and inch strong, especially in a narrow place like the city gate, the lethality of long weapons such as wolf and spear is simply unmatched.

Many of the first to rush to the door were stabbed or stabbed to death by the soldiers with long weapons before they could get closer.

A few hundred soldiers, a few hundred wolves and spears were enough to seal the entire city gate completely.

What's more, behind these soldiers, there are also many soldiers armed with shields and short knives who are in charge of cover.

Taken together, these people are far more terrible than the thick gates.

This is Jiang Ming's plan to close the door and beat the dog.

He wants to take advantage of this coincidental opportunity to kill all these gangsters who have been in trouble for many years on the spot, so as to prevent future troubles.

Faced with the raging fire behind him, the Japanese who were cornered could only resist desperately, hoping to fight their way out.

In this way, the two sides launched a real life-and-death battle at the narrow city gates.

Although Jiang Ming's side has an absolute advantage because of the relationship between weapons and terrain, in the face of the frenzied counterattack, there are still more and more casualties on the militia's side.

But at this time, everyone knew that this was an important juncture of life and death, and once anyone took a step back, it was not only themselves who died, but also countless companions behind them, so no one retreated.

Even if someone dies, someone else will soon take his place, holding his weapon and continuing to defend it.

In addition, Jiang Ming stood behind him and commanded the battle loudly, which made the soldiers even more fearless of death.

This battle was fought until dawn, and Jiang Ming's side finally won the final victory after paying the price of more than 2,000 casualties.

Most of them were stabbed to death by wolves and spears, and less than a third of them were actually burned to death.

Looking at the corpses of the Japanese invaders all over the ground, Jiang Ming felt tired and relaxed at the same time.

At this time, all the militia and the people cheered loudly, and the sound resounded throughout the county.

They won, they finally won!

This battle made Jiang Ming an indisputable anti-Japanese general.

When the report of the battle reached the capital, the entire court was shocked.

5,000 Japanese pirates, Jiang Ming exterminated 5,000 Japanese pirates with only 6,000 militiamen.

The world has been peaceful for a long time, and such a great achievement has not been seen for many years, which is really amazing.

Regarding this battle, Chi Fei used a lot of pen and ink to write, just to better express the life-and-death atmosphere on the battlefield.

For this reason, he revised it no less than three times before finalizing it, and the process was quite tortuous.

Afterwards, Jiang Ming was promoted by the imperial court two levels in a row and became the general judge of Xuyang Mansion of the sixth grade.

And Qin Chafu Gongming almost made a big mistake because he mistrusted the traitor, so he was dismissed from office. Even his fame was taken away and he became a commoner, and readers were very happy to see this.

When Jiang Ming and his family were about to leave Huainan County to take up his post in Xuyang Mansion, the people of the whole city came to see him off.

All the people hoped that this selfless parent official could stay, but they also knew that doing so would only hinder the future of Lord Jiang, so they had to hide their words in their hearts and not say it.

Just as the carriage that Jiang Ming was sitting in began to move, the people suddenly knelt on both sides of the road spontaneously and silently sent the great benefactor away.

Looking at the people kneeling along the way, Jiang Ming and his wife Xu Ruomei couldn't help but wet their eyes with tears.

This concludes the eleventh volume.

Many readers were moved when they saw this.

……………………………………

By the time of the twelfth volume of the final volume, Chi Fei suddenly advanced the background time of the story to ten years later.

The first half of this volume explains the things of the supporting characters one by one in the form of story insertion.

For example, Jiang Ming's classmate and friend Zhou Haiqing has been working in the Hanlin Academy. In the past ten years, he has been promoted from the editor of the seventh grade to the bachelor of the fifth grade, and the future is bright.

When he was eighteen years old, he was also favored by the prince of the country, Lord Jiu Zhao, and married his concubine to him, and the two families became in-laws.

There has always been an unfamous rule in Shilin, that is, "non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet".

Zhou Haiqing was only thirty years old and had already achieved the position of a bachelor, and his father-in-law was the prince of the country who was full of peach and plums, and the chance of entering the cabinet in the future was quite large, so he was very valued by the courtiers.

Zhou Haiqing and Jiang Ming have maintained close contacts and contacts for many years, and Zhou Haiqing often told his friends all kinds of news about the DPRK and China through letters, so that he could keep abreast of the situation in the DPRK and China, which helped him a lot.

Jiang Ming's half-brother Jiang Bo has always had a good relationship with his brother, and when he grew up, he began to help Jiang's father take care of the family's business, and he did a good job.
