"The captives entered the army, plundered the goods, killed the people, and bullied our country and our people! With such a big country and such a big clan, there are always people who are willing to stand up and shed blood. I am willing to stand up, I am not afraid of bloodshed, and I know you are not afraid either. ”

"But I also know that you are afraid of shedding blood in vain, and you are afraid that you will not know why it is bleeding. Now you know, it's to save people! ”

"Today you have saved 100,000 people in Haizhou, tomorrow you will save more people, you will save 1 million, 10 million!"

"Brothers! More than 600 people, came with me from Nanjing, and now only you are left, and a hundred brothers have fallen forever. It's me Yang Chao, I'm sorry for them! ”

"But I want to say that they did not die in vain, it was they who exchanged their lives for the lives of 100,000 people in Haizhou! More lives can be redeemed in the future! ”

"But they're dead. But I promise no one will forget them. Last night, the gentry of Haizhou came to me and said that they wanted me to build a memorial arch for the Lisheng Ancestral Hall. I told them to erect a memorial arch for all our brothers who died in battle. The gentry of Haizhou City agreed, saying that they would build a temple for the martyrs. ”

"I will bring back the bodies of my brothers who died in battle, and I will bury them in their ancestral graves. But I promise to leave their names in Haizhou, so that they can be worshipped by the people of Haizhou for generations! Each of them will have a tombstone in Haizhou, which is engraved with their deeds and their names! ”

"Brothers, I promise. As long as this nation does not die, in front of their tombstones, there will be a bowl of wine, a bowl of meat, and a sense of relief every year. Unless this dog-called nation becomes ungrateful, incorruptible and shameless, and becomes a thief as a father. Then they will always burn incense and worship their ancestors. ”

"Now it's all you left, I know they're homesick, I know you're scared you can't go back. I also know why you're afraid. Not because of fear of death, but because of fear of death. can't go into the earth for peace, afraid of dying in a foreign land, and become a lonely ghost; But they are afraid of death, that your parents have no one to support, and that your children have no one to take care of. Now I promise you! ”

"I will also bring back the brothers who died in the war, and I will give them a beautiful burial, so that they can be buried in peace and accompanied by their ancestors."

"The parents of my dead brother are my parents. I support them, and the children of my dead brothers are my children, and I raise them. ”

"Finally, I have to promise that I will take you brothers who are still alive and go back intact. Unless I have to, I won't let them fight with the captives again, and I won't trade your lives for my own future! ”

Yang Chao's voice was full of emotion, and his sincere assurance only made many soldiers sad at first, and then touched many people. In the end, everyone was moved, and some even whined and became painful.

"My lord, I am not afraid of death. I'm going to kill the Tartars with you. I want to avenge my brothers! ”

Suddenly, someone became emotional and shouted loudly.

Soon others were stimulated as well.

They shouted:

"Yes, if we don't leave, we'll kill all the Tartars."

"We want revenge!"

"We're not afraid!"

Yang Chao didn't expect that the morale of these soldiers would be so high again, not out of any loyalty to the country, not out of national righteousness, but just to avenge the dead comrades.

Because of hatred!

Who said that the Chinese are a forgiving people, your parents were killed, your sisters were humiliated. You were taken as a slave, and then you forgave your enemies. Then you can only be a fool.

Those who cry out forgiveness are often pampered. It is those who hold power, whoever, at any time, are in power, treat them well, win them over, use them to rule over their fellow-men, paralyze their brothers and sisters, these people do not shed blood for the nation, but lie on the nation and drink the blood, so they cry out for forgiveness, because they themselves have not shed blood at all, and what they get from the enemy is not hatred, but the bones that the enemy throws at them.

A nation that does not even dare to face up to its enemies, it is definitely not a nation that has stood in the East for thousands of years, this nation has existed for thousands of years, and his enemies have disappeared into history one by one, if this nation forgives his enemies again and again, then his enemies will climb to their heads again and again to make a fortune, this nation is not the Chinese nation, but the nation of the third brother of India.

Seeing the morale that was aroused because of hatred, Yang Chao was relieved that he was a man of flesh and blood.

But Yang Chao really can't take these people to fight with the captives, and it is too cost-effective to exchange lives with those captives at this time.

Yang Chao wanted to use these men who had aroused his blood as seeds to expand hundreds or thousands of times, and then he was desperately going to find the captives.

Even if he no longer fights with the captives in the future, but just holds Haizhou City firmly and waits for the captives to retreat, Yang Chao still wins, and these soldiers are still victorious.

The judgment of victory is always determined by whether or not the purpose of the battle has been achieved, not by the number of killings and the amount of land occupied.

In Gong, Yang Chao came to rescue Haizhou, and so far he has succeeded for most of it.

In private, Yang Chao came to train the soldiers, to beat and stimulate the blood and courage of these soldiers, and now he has succeeded 100 percent.

So as long as the captives retreat, Yang Chao will win a big victory!

Anyway, now that the moat has been joined, the captives have lost the passage to attack the city, and it is impossible for them to refill the river in a short time, and after several fiascos, it is difficult to say whether the captives still have the courage to attack the city again, and the most likely and wisest choice for the captives is to retreat as soon as possible.

Therefore, Yang Chao's next plan is to take these people to defend the city steadily, and not give the captives any chance, even if they do not continue to fill the river, Yang Chao will try his best to destroy them, and prevent them from getting their wishes, dragging on for ten days and twenty days, and not believing that the captives will not retreat.

"No, your lives are worth more than the captives, so there is no need to fight with them. Rest assured, one day, we will settle this debt, and when the time comes, there will be revenge, there will be revenge, and a blood debt will be recovered with blood! ”

Yang Chao was talking to the soldiers, but the people next to him did not leave, they also fought with Yang Chao's army, although their combat effectiveness was very scummy, but they also shed blood.

At this time, they looked at and listened to Yang Chao's words, and they also had Qi Yan in their hearts.

Many of these people were familiar with Yang Chao's soldiers, because Yang Chao sent many officers to train them and lead them.

In the past, the Minzhuang were a little envious of these soldiers, thinking that they could eat well and get a good salary, but they had to fight with Yang Chao, so Minzhuang was just a little envious, but he didn't want to be them.

But listening to Yang Chao's assurance, they suddenly felt that following such a general, even if it was a war, it didn't seem bad.

……

Huai'an!

Since Yang Chao led troops to rescue Haizhou, Haizhou and Huai'an have once again severed contact, and at least two people are very anxious.

One of them is Shi Kefa, and the other is Wang Xiao.

Just when Yang Chao was fighting the captives at night, the boatmen finally came back after ten days of trekking.

When Shi Kefa heard that Yang Chao sent the boatman back, he directly took the initiative to greet him, but he didn't see Yang Chao.

After questioning the boatman, Shi Kefa learned that Yang Chao had won a great victory in Haizhou, killing more than 200 captives and capturing two captives.

But when he heard the boatman say that the governor of Haizhou had not allowed Yang Chao to enter the city, Shi Kefa couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, Yang Chao was fortunate not to be dishonored and defeated the captives directly.

Soon Shi Kefa took the two prisoners, and sent a letter asking for merit and sending Tang Ma to Beijing. Although the canal was blocked by the east, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was larger, and there was enough space to bypass Shandong, and still maintain the connection between the central and local governments.

Shi Kefa's Tangma went to Henan and then went north to the capital.

Then Shi Kefa was quietly waiting for Yang Chao to come back, he had already planned, he must set up a sumptuous celebration banquet, banquet Yang Chao, banquet Yang Chao's strong men.

Wang Xiao couldn't wait to start the banquet immediately, and he was indeed invited to the banquet by the wealthy businessmen in Huai'an.

Wang Xiao was extremely proud, and swore that he had long known that his brother Yang Chao could fight a big victory, so he had been waiting in Huai'an.

In fact, Wang Xiao's only task in Huai'an was to win over Shi Kefa, but Shi Kefa had never dealt with businessmen much, which made Wang Xiao unable to communicate at all.

Some of the rhetoric prepared before can only be used on these wealthy businessmen, telling these local snakes who already have some friendship with each other that the Wang family has a strong strength in their hands.

Wang Xiao began to play the banner of Yang Chao as early as after Yang Chao took the initiative to rescue Haizhou, trumpeting Yang Chao's bravery, but he didn't want to make a name for Yang Chao, but wanted to use Yang Chao's bravery to raise the prestige of their Wang family.

He clearly told the wealthy merchants in Huai'an that more than a dozen big shops along the Wangjia Canal would go all out to raise military salaries for Yang Chao and mobilize military rations this time.

The purpose is to tell these local snake merchants in Huai'an that the Wang family has a deep relationship with Yang Chao, and Yang Chao is a rare brave general in the world.

Ordinary people may not know, but these businessmen know too well that in such a troubled world, how much capital is to be able to rely on a powerful force, whose goods have not been robbed over the years, and whose business has not been affected.

If they have the protection of strong force, their business can be stable and long-lasting.

So Wang Xiao soon colluded with Huai'an's large and small wealthy merchant groups, anyway, the Wang family was originally very deep in Huai'an, but because of the foreign wealthy merchants, in some areas, they were always excluded by local businessmen, so the Wang family has always been able to rely on the relationship of the canal, operating the fleet and grain trade, and has not been able to enter the core salt business of Huai'an.

Therefore, after the stammering with Shi Kefa to no avail, Wang Xiao turned to the second, hoping to make friends with salt merchants and get involved in the salt business. (To be continued).
