Su Qi'an understood the meaning of several county guards, nodded slightly, accepted their respect, and then motioned for everyone to get up.

Looking at Wu Dingguo and the other county guards, Su Qi'an said softly, "This battle has played the spirit of the officers and soldiers of Dongzhou, and it is a shame before the snow, but the envoy hopes that through this battle, remember this feeling of victory and keep it up, this is just the beginning, there are bigger battles to be fought in the future, so take a good rest and wait for the arrangement of the envoy."

Su Qi'an's words were more vague, but everyone present was understanding, their eyes were fixed, and there was a deep excitement in their eyes.

Recovering the land of the two counties is what it should be, even if it wins, it is not worth publicizing, if you want to really raise your eyebrows, the next battle is the key.

It is impossible to imagine how big the next battle will be and how far it will go for the time being, but at least there is one way, which is to completely exterminate the pirates and pirates entrenched on Zhoushan Island and destroy them in one fell swoop.

With Su Qi'an in charge this time, their hearts are more confident, and their eyes are looking forward to the arrangement of Su Qi'an's third battle.

If the pirates entrenched on Zhoushan Island can be destroyed, the infestation that Dongzhou has been subjected to for more than ten years will be completely eliminated, and then the people of Dongzhou will be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

This dream, engraved in everyone's minds for more than ten years, is the day they are most looking forward to, waiting for this day for too long, finally coming.

Just when everyone was looking forward to how to annihilate the Japanese on Zhoushan Island, Su Qi'an's voice sounded again.

"By the way, there is one more thing, in this battle, we must bury the brothers who died in peace, and at the same time do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath and family members, so as not to let these brothers die in vain."

"Rest assured, the Inspector will take care of this, and if anything goes wrong, we will be willing to bring it up."

Several counties kept such a heavy oath, mainly to motivate themselves, but also to express their respect for Su Qi'an.

According to the past practice, every time the war is over, these dead brothers can be buried with a good life, which is the limit, and as for the aftermath of the work, they will only be given some pensions.

It's just that the pension issued by the imperial court will be at least less than half if it really falls into the hands of those family members.

This is not that they deliberately withheld and embezzled, but that the imperial court sent it down, and when they arrived in the first nine counties of Dongzhou, there were so many left.

In the middle, there were several officials passing through the hands, the largest of which was the nine counties in the rear.

For this matter, Wu Dingguo has argued with Zhou Zibin many times, and even conflicts, but there is no evidence, even if there is, but the officials protect each other, and they unify their mouths.

It is very difficult to cure their crimes, even if they take a few, they are nothing more than scapegoats, and when the limelight passes, they should be greedy and greedy, which can be described as a symptom but not a root cause.

But this time, Su Qi'an spoke, if the rear is daring to deduct and embezzle, Su Qi'an's personality will inevitably turn the rear upside down again.

Which is more important, the rear officials should know what to do.

With Su Qi'an's backing, if this thing is not done beautifully, then there is no need for them to be front-line county guards.

The people who got the order left quickly, Su Qi'an glanced at the coast of Dongzhou from a distance, which was almost finished, and left with Xie Cang, Wu Dingguo and others.

They did not return to Haizhou City, but returned to Qingchong County, although Qingchong County was bombarded by Su Qi'an's artillery cars and arrow carts.

However, most of the houses were built and were not damaged and could still be inhabited, but the streets needed to be cleaned by soldiers.

Su Qi'an dared to bombard the city, mainly because there were not too many people in the city, but if Sakai Jiro had a long-term vision and held a large number of people trapped in the city, Su Qi'an would not dare to attack so fiercely for a while.

But after all, there is no if, the only thing that this Sakai Jiro is commendable is that he will use a stand-in to save his life, which Su Qi'an did not expect.

But it makes sense to be able to become the second-in-command of the pirate gang, so cunning.

This time he let him run, it was his luck, and he won't be able to run next time.

For these pirates and pirates, Su Qi'an only had one sentence, "Until you kill them all, you won't leave a single one."

It's not Su Qi'an's thirst for killing, it's this

These guys are not even as good as beasts, they have come to commit crimes in Dongzhou for more than ten years, and the evil things they have done have come out one by one, which can be described as too many to write.

For them, killing them cleanly and neatly is cheaper for them, and if there is a chance, Su Qi'an will definitely torture these beasts who don't do anything to death, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

This is not just Su Qi'an's idea, as long as he comes to the front line in Dongzhou and witnesses the villages, towns and villages that have been slaughtered by pirates and pirates, there is only one word for these beasts, kill, kill, kill until they are completely frightened.

Although they recovered the land of the two counties this time, their casualties were also very large, and after a day's statistics, the reconquest battle wiped out 26,000 people from the other side, more than 2,000 people were missing, and the most people who fled back were about 1,000.

On their side, the two counties of Dongshan and Split Mountain suffered 7,000 casualties, and the Dongzhou soldiers suffered 5,000 casualties.

On the whole, in this battle, they suffered few casualties, but you must know that the people who dispatched this time were all elites.

Fortunately, Su Qi'an asked to stop in time, if he continued to pursue, even if he caught up with Sakai Jiro, the casualties would be further expanded.

Moreover, when the time comes, it is very likely that the pirates and pirates on Zhoushan Island will be dispatched en masse, and the war between the two sides will escalate and continue to fight, which will be unfavorable to Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo.

Stopping in time, resting, waiting for the horses to mobilize and assemble, and then making a full-scale attack, this is the best policy.

Judging from the casualties in this battle, there is a gap between the Dongzhou soldiers and the Japanese invaders, and if they want to really annihilate the beasts of Zhoushan Island, the third battle will not only involve the Dongzhou soldiers, but also need more reinforcements.

Both the land army and the naval division army have to crush Zhoushan Island in terms of numbers, and no matter how many strategies are used to fight this kind of tough battle, they will not be able to strengthen the numerical superiority of troops.

This is also the reason why Su Qi'an stopped the offensive for Wu Dingguo, and they wanted to gather more forces to fight the last battle of annihilation.

The news of the recovery of the two counties spread quickly at the speed of the wind.

Whether it was the people of Dongzhou or the officials of Dongzhou, they were shocked when they heard about this, and then most of them walked out of the streets and ran to tell each other.

Who would have thought that the Dongzhou soldiers, who had lost more than half a month and could not be forcefully attacked, would completely recover the lost two counties in just a few days after Su Qi'an led the army to the front line.

Not only that, but it also annihilated more than 20,000 pirates and pirates, which was a great victory.

Many people wanted to know how it was hit, and they inquired one after another, and the so-called inside story spread quickly.

"This battle, all rely on the supervision envoy to take the lead, in the face of that group of brutes, the organization of the death squad raid that is not afraid of death, think about it, where have those beasts seen such a fierce person, immediately frightened by the inspector fart, the inspector knife one by one, kill these beasts crying dad and crying mother."

"But no, I have heard that the Overseer is on the battlefield, like a god descending from the heavens, among those beasts, killing a few in and out, which at once inspired countless soldiers, and their blood boiled, and they fought together."

"That's right, it's just a pity that I haven't been able to see the Overseer so brave with my own eyes, old man, I'm also old, if I'm in my twenties, I'll definitely follow the Overseer and kill a few brutes."

"We're too old to go to the battlefield, but I've heard that the Inspector ordered the recruitment of people, and a large number of people are needed, and it seems that he wants to go straight to the Yellow Dragon."

"Oh, really, then I'll have to sign up."

"I'm going too, count me in."

「……」

The entire Dongzhou, especially the land of the last nine counties, can be seen almost everywhere about the inside story of Su Qi'an's recovery of the two counties, and the more the news spreads, the more evil it becomes.

But in this way, no one doubted it, and it inspired the fire in the hearts of countless people.

Dongzhou has been invaded by pirates and pirates for more than ten years, and the front-line war has also been fought for more than ten years, even if Wu Dingguo is there, at most to ensure that the two sides are evenly matched.

Especially this time, two counties were lost, if it weren't for Su Qi'an's efforts to turn the tide, where would they still be talking in the rear.

I also heard that Su Qi'an was like this on the front line

The big victory has long been inspiring, and at this time, I heard that Su Qi'an was going to gather the people, and I saw that there was a big move.

The people who were victorious in the war, where could they still control their emotions, they ran to their respective county offices to ask, and the enthusiasm almost broke through the door of the county government.

In the face of the people who wanted to do their part, the county orders who did not get the news from their superiors could only be appeased and let the people go back and wait for the news, without saying anything to death.

The reason why they were so polite was because they had the news of Su Qi'an, the supervising envoy of the town, and the people who had been summoned, and they had not received orders from the county guard and the state pastor.

But since it has been spread so turbulently by the people, it is definitely not groundless, at this juncture, if you refuse, one day Su Qi'an will really come with this news.

They will be the first to be punished, and in order to keep their official careers, it is the best policy to leave a way back for themselves.

At the same time, county orders from all over the country have asked for help, is there such a thing.

Not to mention that the county commanders looked confused, even a few county guards who had re-appointed were the same, they had no choice, and they also asked upwards.

Dongzhou City, in the state capital.

Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan, Wu Xian, Jiang Kun, and Shen Wanfu, the five most powerful figures in Dongzhou, gathered together.

The purpose of their visit is very simple, it is also to discuss countermeasures for the inquiries of many officials below.

Whether Su Qi'an summoned the people to the rear to start the next larger-scale war, the people below don't know, but they, as big people in a state, know best.

Not long ago, Zhou Zibin received a message order from Su Qi'an.

Summoning the people, it is true, it is indeed a preparation for a third, larger-scale war.

Not only that, but in the order that came, there was something bigger than summoning the people, requiring 50,000 state soldiers from the nine counties in the back of Dongzhou to immediately assemble and send 40,000 troops, and at the same time collect 50,000 stone grain and grass to send troops to the front line together.
