On a small island in the East China Sea.

Inoue Ichiro climbed ashore from the boat in embarrassment, followed by a few henchmen who escaped from Shengsi Island together.

"Lord, where am I going next?"

A confidant of Inoue Ichiro, after climbing ashore, immediately asked this question that had been held in his heart for a long time.

Originally, Inoue Ichiro was still a leader of the Japanese with infinite scenery, and after so many years of development, his subordinates also had tens of thousands of strong, and his strength could be called the overlord of the nearby seas.

Especially occupying the feng shui treasure of Shengsi Island, if he is given a few more years, it will not be a problem to raise an army of 100,000 with Shengsi Island at that time.

Although he couldn't beat Daming at that time, Inoue's goal was never Daming, but the Wajima behind him.

Nowadays, there are frequent wars on the island, the princes compete for hegemony, and the people are struggling to make a living.

As long as there are soldiers and food under his command, he can establish himself as a king and conquer the world.

Of course, Inoue Ichiro does not have the ambition to dominate the world, but he still has the ambition to occupy a piece of the foundation and become the king and hegemon, and it is very big.

It's a pity that the hegemony of the former emperor is just a dream.

In less than two days, Inoue Ichiro was defeated, and not only his army was wiped out, but even Shengsi Island, which had been relied on as a foundation, was also lost.

There are now four henchmen left who live and die together, and there is nothing else.

The gap between before and after made Inoue Ichiro a little difficult to accept.

Now hearing the question of his henchman, Inoue Ichiro only felt even more bored, and said impatiently:

"Where else can I go? Naturally, it is to return to Shikoku Island, which is our homeland, and even if we die, we will die there. ”

When the three henchmen heard this, their heads drooped.

They are all ronins, living in no fixed place, calling home all over the world, and there is no consciousness of returning to their roots.

The reason why I went to sea to make a living is not because I can't get along in Shikoku Island anymore?

Now that Inoue Ichiro wants to return to Shikoku, isn't he asking for his own death? This made them extremely unhappy.

However, Inoue Ichiro also has a confidant, who is not a Japanese man, but a genuine Han Chinese.

This person's name is Li San, when his family was well-off, he also studied for a few years, could write and calculate, and worked as an official under Zhang Shicheng.

Later, Zhang Shicheng was defeated and killed, and this person also fled overseas in a hurry, until he was exiled to Shengsi Island, where he was valued by Inoue Ichiro and made his own account.

This man has sharp-beaked monkey gills, and his eyes are narrow and thin, and he looks very obscene.

After hearing Inouero's words, he hurriedly spoke out and explained:

"Why should the lord be discouraged?"

"Now that the East China Sea is surging, it is the time for heroes to show their strength."

"Although I was frustrated for a while, the lord was self-made before, and now with the help of the four of us, he will be able to rise again."

"Now that the Japanese in the East China Sea have united to deal with the Ming Dynasty together, we can take refuge in one of the forces first."

"With the ability of the lord, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence soon, and it is only a matter of time before he makes a comeback."

Li San's words can be described as impassioned, which lifted Inoue's spirits.

Thinking of the days when he wandered on Shikoku Island and the time when he rose rapidly on Shengsi Island, Inoue Ichiro suddenly felt that his fighting spirit had regained his fighting spirit.

"Li Sanjun, what he said is reasonable, if he can rise again one day, I am willing to be rich and noble with Li Sanjun."

"We will continue to the south, there is a Shuangyu Island, where there is also a large number of Japanese pirates, and they are recruiting."

"We can take refuge in them first, and then try to make a comeback."

When the other three saw that Inoue Ichiro no longer mentioned Shikoku Island, they naturally readily agreed.

Years of crisscrossing the sea, and the habit of wanton plunder, made them never want to go back, the old days of poverty and destituteness.

Li San hurriedly bowed down and said:

"The lord praises it."

"The villain thinks that the lord can announce the news that the Ming army plans to suppress the bandits."

"In this way, the importance of the lord will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, the Japanese will be more vigilant, and maybe they will take the initiative to destroy this group of Ming troops in advance."

"It can also avenge our hatred, killing two birds with one stone."

Inoue's eyes lit up, and he immediately planned to rest on the island for a day, and the next day he continued to travel south.

....

At the same time, on Shengsi Island.

Li Jin is sifting through the captives on Shengsi Island.

The heinous criminal, who invaded the Zhejiang region many times, burned and killed the habitual bandits who plundered, Li Jin didn't ask, and directly pulled down and beheaded.

Those who have just joined the Wako and have no record of doing evil will have all the characters engraved on their faces, and will work as slaves and as coolies in Shanghu County in the future.

To contribute to the great cause of infrastructure construction in Shanghu County, if these people are still alive in ten years, Li Jin can consider letting these people go.

Of course, these are Han Chinese who can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters.

If it is a widow, a man who is more than the height of a wheel will be late.

The rest were all turned into slaves and sold at the slave market in Shanghu County.

In this way, a total of more than 10,000 Han laborers have been obtained, and these laborers will become free labor in the Ming Dynasty within ten years, contributing to the infrastructure construction of the Ming Dynasty.

After ten years, they may return to freedom, of course, depending on whether these people have performed well over the years.

The remaining more than 3,000 Japanese slaves will be pulled by Li Jin to Shanghu County for sale.

In the slave market in Shanghu County, Japanese slaves are still very popular, especially female Japanese slaves.

There were more than 5,000 people who were beheaded and killed.

On the day of execution, the scene was very terrifying, and the Han bandits who were beheaded were okay, and they were cut in two, which was not considered pain.

The worst thing is that the more than 2,000 Japanese robbers were cut by a thousand knives.

Because the executioner was not very professional, some of the widows did not hold up a few knives at all, and they lost their breath.

The sea at the port of Shengsi Island was dyed red again, and Li Jin personally supervised the execution.

Looking at the painful screams of those widows, Li Jin's heart was calm, and his mind was still emerging from the sounds and smiles of those navies who had trained hard with him.

Li Jin only hopes that the heroic souls of these people are not far away, and they will take a good look at themselves in the sky to avenge them.

More than 2,000 people continued for a day, and the entire port was filled with a thick smell of blood.

Li Jin insisted that all the captives come to watch the Ling Chi.

Some of them were even so frightened that they peed their pants, for fear that they would end up with these things.

After watching Ling Chi the whole thing, the original resistance was still a little emotional, and suddenly became extremely docile.

Under Li Jin's bloody suppression, these would-be robbers all obediently accepted their fate.

Originally, some Han Japanese robbers heard that they were going to be laborers for ten years, and they naturally had complaints in their hearts.

They came out to be widows, because they didn't want to be constrained by others, they were free, and they were happy to take revenge.

But now they have to be used as cattle and horses, how can they endure it?

is planning how to escape in the future, and even some people are thinking about simply rioting, and it is a big deal to die.

However, Li Jin's methods were so cruel that after they had visited the execution, when they slept at night, they heard the miserable howls of the widows.

The little ambition in their hearts suddenly vanished.

In contrast, making cows and horses for others seems to be not bad, at least you don't have to survive or die.

But since then, Li Jin has a resounding name among the Japanese invaders, the white-faced butcher!
