The 2,000 innocent people who were drawn into a war that had nothing to do with them were not the time to blame themselves. It's already happened, and no amount of self-blame will help.

Mao Wenlong temporarily put away the anger in his heart and ordered the Dongjiang Army to send 2,000 innocent and implicated people into the city for treatment. In an instant, all the hospitals and doctors in the city were mobilized.

As for those unfortunate victims, Mao Wenlong also ordered at the same time that the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army must properly handle their aftermath and let the victims be buried as soon as possible.

Mao Wenlong blamed himself, and he tried his best to remedy these unfortunate people, but he didn't know that his actions had undoubtedly won the full favor of these people. None of the people who suffered resented Mao Wenlong, even those who had already had their families dead, they were all thanking the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army for their rescue with tears in their eyes.

This situation made Mao Wenlong very incomprehensible, obviously he was at fault first, but these people not only did not hate him, but respected him more and more, and it can be said that it is not too much to be grateful to Dade?

"Don't these people understand that they will suffer this calamity because of me, Mao Wenlong?" His heart was full of confusion, and as soon as Mao Wenlong returned to the mansion, he couldn't hold back his questions.

Chen Jisheng and Liu Guangzuo glanced at each other, the two obviously knew very well why these people behaved like this, but the two of them did not stand up to solve Mao Wenlong's doubts. On the contrary, after a brief hesitation, Adou stood up and explained: "Chief soldier, maybe these people really don't feel that you are burdening them at all. ”

Mao Wenlong looked at Adou and said softly: "You explain, I'm confused now?" ”

Adou paused for a moment, organized his words, and then said: "War has always been a lose-lose thing, whether it is the winning side or the losing side. As long as a war breaks out, both sides will inevitably lose and gain, and the so-called victory or defeat is a contest between gains and losses. In addition to this, it is these people, and those who are affected by the war, they are undoubtedly the ones who have lost the most. ”

Adou's explanation is obviously a bit profound, Mao Wenlong still doesn't understand it very well at the moment, and he is still a little confused in his heart? At this time, Chen Jisheng couldn't hold it anymore, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Chief soldier, in fact, there is no need to think so complicated. Over the years, we have also experienced a lot of wars, large and small, and every time we have fought a war, it is not all the people who suffer, and such things can be said to be everyone's consensus. ”

After a pause, Chen Jisheng continued: "And the people will be grateful to the general soldiers, without the slightest resentment, the reason is simpler." ”

Looking at Chen Jisheng, who was taken for granted, Mao Wenlong said: "Tell me about your crooked reasoning." ”

Chen Jisheng didn't care about what Mao Wenlong said at all, he chuckled and said: "The general soldier may not know that in the imperial court, after every war, those innocent people who were affected would rarely care about their life and death. As it is today, the general army directly ordered the people to be placed in the city, and gave them everything they needed, including their dead families, and you arranged for them one by one. Let's ask, who has ever done such a situation in today's troubled times? ”

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong finally woke up, although Chen Jisheng's remarks made people a little uncomfortable. But facts speak louder than words, and there is indeed no force in the world today that really cares about the life and death of the people.

Mao Wenlong suddenly realized the truth, and he had no doubts at this moment. It's just that he hates those damn pirates even more, and what happened today made Mao Wenlong realize that he must not leave any more pirates on his territory.

The Japanese are ruthless, black-hearted, and do not treat the people of the Ming Dynasty as human beings. As long as they need it, they will completely treat the people of the Ming Dynasty as livestock, kill them if they want to, let you live if they want you to live, in short, everything depends on their preferences.

Leaving such a hidden danger on his turf is undoubtedly a time bomb of chaos. Mao Wenlong realized that the matter could not be ignored, and he immediately spoke: "Although the people have no resentment against me, I can't just be at ease. From now on, there will never be any Japanese in the entire north, Chen Jisheng, do you have a way to clean up these rat-like things from this hot land in the north? ”

Chen Jisheng frowned and said: "There is no way, especially at a time like this, we simply don't have enough manpower to take care of these things." ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly lowered his face, and he said coldly: "No matter how difficult this thing is, in short, you must do it well, if you can't do it in the end, I only ask!" ”

After Mao Wenlong finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving the hall for Adou and Chen Jisheng.

At first, I just wanted to show off my profound experience, but I didn't expect it to be too much. Chen Jisheng couldn't wait to give himself two big mouths at the moment, it was because of that little vanity just now that he had to face such an almost impossible task at this moment.

Chen Jisheng thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of how to complete the task given to him by Mao Wenlong. In desperation, he had no choice but to lick his face to Adou's ear, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Adou, you can think about it for me, is there any way to solve the task given to me by the general soldier just now?" ”

Adou said to him with a serious face: "Brother Chen has raised his junior brother, you let me shoot the enemy general on the battlefield, maybe I still have a chance to shoot the enemy general, but what do you want me to do, don't I know how many catties and taels I have?" ”

Listening to Adou's words, Chen Jisheng's face immediately collapsed: "This, how should this be good, just now looking at the appearance of the chief soldier, it is obvious that he is extremely angry." Brother Adou, for the sake of everyone being colleagues, can't you help me think of an idea? ”

Adou said modestly: "Brother Chen, don't lift me up, but you don't have a chance to turn over at present." After this battle, it is obvious that the Japanese will no longer be able to fight with us in a short time, but Brother Chen must not be arrogant or arrogant. There will always be a way to deal with the Japanese invaders, but fortunately, the general army did not give you the so-called period just now, so you still have a lot of time, you can slowly look for it step by step, and cut off those Japanese who are entrenched in the hot land of Daming. ”

After listening to Chen Jisheng's story, Adou was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Brother Chen, if you want to complete the task assigned to you by the general army, you must have something that you can handle.
