After receiving the imperial court's will to lift the sea ban, Taihao ordered his officials to inform the people of the city of the matter. The news soon spread throughout the city, and the people talked about it, some rejoicing and some sad.

Rejoice in the fact that the fishermen and merchants have been trapped in this area, unable to trade at sea, and their lives are very difficult. Now that the imperial court has allowed the sea to open, they can finally regain their freedom, expand their business contacts, and improve their standard of living. And those fishermen who were once ruined by pirates can finally rebuild their homes in this area.

Worried are residents who are worried about the safety of the sea after the lifting of the sea ban. They feared that pirates, pirates, and other outlaws would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos and bring even greater disasters to the people. In addition, they are also worried that after the lifting of the sea ban, some greedy officials will use their power to seek personal interests and harm national interests.

In the face of these different voices, Taihao told the people what he was going to do next. First of all, he will strengthen maritime patrols, severely crack down on pirates, pirates and other lawbreakers, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property. At the same time, he will also set up a special customs agency to strictly review the import and export of goods to prevent smuggling and illegal transactions.

In addition, Taihao will also vigorously promote the building of a clean and honest government, severely punish corrupt elements, and enhance officials' awareness of honesty and self-discipline. He also encouraged the people to participate in supervision and jointly safeguard the interests of the country and social stability.

Speaking of the matter of resisting the Japanese, on the day that Lord Tu Yi came to Wenchuan City to announce the emperor's edict to Taihao and Nanzhu, the fifteen Modao armies that had previously gone to different high mountains to fight against the Japanese warriors also returned to Wenchuan City one after another. When Tai Hao learned that the emperor had asked for a deadline for the complete elimination of the Japanese invaders within two months, he was not worried, because Tai Hao thought that now that the Japanese warriors had been defeated, it would be no problem for those ordinary Japanese to drive them out in two months.

After sending off the imperial historian Tu Yi, Taihao held a grand celebration banquet for the Mo Dao soldiers. Although fifteen armies were victorious in the war against the Japanese samurai, the price was also heavy. Among them, more than half of the "Twenty Brothers of Mangdang Mountain" were killed or wounded, and there were only more than 1,000 of the 3,000 Mo sword soldiers left.

In the "Twenty Brothers of Mangdang Mountain", there are eleven heroic brothers who died in battle. They are Heliang, Yiquan, Tianyong, Bailao, Baoyi, Daxi, Bainan, Baixi, Baizhong, Runtian and Rundi. They were brave and fearless in the fierce battle against the Japanese samurai, but in the end they paid with their precious lives.

Among the other surviving brothers, he was attacked by a hidden weapon during a battle with a female samurai of the Japanese Kingdom, resulting in blindness in both eyes. This is undoubtedly a huge blow for a knight, but he did not give up and remained firmly at the forefront of the battle. In the battle, Bao was seriously wounded and lost all his strength. Bai Dong was injured in his left leg during the battle, and although he was treated by Lang Zhong with all his might, he still could not recover as before. From then on, he could only live on crutches.

Voy did not attend the feast, and the dead brothers had followed him from Mangdang Mountain, believing that he might be guilty, and he had buried the lives of eleven of his brothers with his own hands. That night, Voy did not say goodbye to any of his brothers, he just left a letter to Tai Hao, and there was only a short sentence in the letter: Senior brother, say goodbye here, and see you again!

Subsequently, Voy quietly left the city of Wenchuan. Tai Hao held the letter left by Voy in his hand, was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he opened the letterhead and read it, although the letter was only a short sentence, but he read a whole stick of incense. In fact, he was not reading the letter, he was reminiscing, recalling the first meeting with his brothers when he was in Mangdang Mountain, recalling the joy of meeting Senior Brother Voy, and recalling the scene of recruiting his brothers...... The time of contact with the brothers, although short, is vivid. Taihao may also blame himself, and what he blames himself for is also that reason, he probably shouldn't have let his senior brother bring his brothers to Wenchuan City in the first place. Even so, none of the remaining surviving brothers resented Taihao, they thought that it was not wrong to come to Wenchuan City to fight against the Japanese, but they were too light on the enemy and did not practice "Painting the Tiger with Cats" well, which led to the tragedy.

Taihao reported to the imperial court about the battle between the Modao soldiers and the Japanese samurai, and then ordered all the soldiers to be rewarded. However, when Tai Hao told the soldiers the news of this imperial reward, they did not show great excitement, because the emperor also issued another order: continue to work hard to completely drive out the Japanese and ensure the safety of the Eastern Empire. This means that they cannot stop and rest, but continue to follow General Nanzhu to fight against the Japanese invaders.

Hearing the emperor's order, although the Mo Dao soldiers were a little tired, they knew that this was their responsibility and mission. Taihao looked at their determined eyes, and his heart was full of admiration and gratitude. He knew that these soldiers were willing to make more efforts and sacrifices for the sake of the security of the country and the happiness of the people.

At the same time, the imperial historian Tu Yi quickly found out the illegal behavior of the officials when the dog was beheaded. After investigation, he came to the conclusion that the lord of Jintang City, Lotte, was suspected of communiqué personal vendettas, and the execution of prisoners did not follow the laws of the Eastern Empire, and there were serious violations of military discipline. Tu Yi immediately reported this conclusion to the imperial court, and the emperor quickly issued a punishment document.

The emperor remembered Lotte's contributions to the government and the people over the years, and did not sentence Lotte to prison, but demoted him to Zhenchuan Castle as the deputy general of the city guard. Zhenchuan Castle is located in the southernmost part of the Eastern Empire, on an island.

Although this decision was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lotte, he did not complain and just accepted the punishment gloomily. He was well aware of his sins, and he also knew that his past actions had lowered the prestige of the imperial court. He promised the imperial court that during his tenure at Zhenchuan Castle, he would reflect deeply and try his best to make up for his past mistakes.

However, because of the death of the crooked dog, the Japanese at sea were leaderless, and for a time, in the southeast coastal area, a large number of Japanese invaded on a large scale by taking advantage of the Eastern Empire's lifting of the sea ban. When General Nanzhu learned of the invasion, he thought it was just an ordinary war, so he only led 4,000 wolf soldiers to fight against the Japanese invaders.

On the battlefield, swords and swords are intertwined, and the sound of killing is endless. Like a raging torrent, the Japanese invaders filled the entire sea, wielding sharp blades and wantonly slaughtering innocent civilians and resisting soldiers. Although the wolf soldiers were brave and fearless, they were also powerless in the face of the large number of pirates.

General Nanzhu, dressed in iron armor and holding a spear, led the wolf soldiers to charge into battle. There was a determination in his eyes, and he knew that only by completely defeating these wouldn't he be able to protect the people of the coastal areas from further harm. With each swing of his spear, he rushed into the enemy line like a raging lion, slaying the pirates at his feet.

However, the number of Japanese invaders seemed endless, and wave after wave of them poured in, which made General Nanzhu feel pressured. One by one, his soldiers fell, blood staining the battlefield red, but they still gritted their teeth and held their ground.

Just when General Nanzhu felt powerless to return to the sky, a crisp horn sound came from a distance. That's the arrival of reinforcements! Taihao and Chaozi led reinforcements to arrive! They not only brought tens of thousands of wolf soldiers, but also led more than 1,000 Modao soldiers, which gave General Nanzhu and his soldiers new hope.

The arrival of reinforcements turned the tide of battle. The soldiers were once again invigorated, and they were closely united to fight side by side with reinforcements. Wielding his spear, General Nanzhu led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese Invaders.

The battle lasted for half a day, and the two sides went back and forth, fighting endlessly. But in the end, thanks to the stubborn resistance of the soldiers, the Japanese were completely defeated. The battlefield was littered with corpses, and blood stained the entire sea.

General Nanzhu was also wounded, but his face was full of a smile of victory. He knew that they had succeeded in keeping the coast safe and giving the people precious respite.

General Nanzhu arched his hand to Taihao and said, "Lord Taihao, fortunately you came in time, otherwise you would ......"

Tai Hao waved his hand and said: "General Nanzhu, don't say that, I have expected that this will be a vicious battle, but General Nanzhu only brought 4,000 troops, so he guessed that our army would definitely have the upper hand in numbers, so he rushed to reinforcements in time, otherwise it would be too late!" ”

General Nanzhu said: "I didn't expect so many pirates to come down this time, it seems that the death of the pirate leader Dog is crooked, which is very shocking to them." ”

Tai Hao said: "The imperial court has lifted the sea ban and allowed the people to trade freely. Therefore, I think that this large-scale attack by the Japanese is likely to be their last action. From now on, even if the Japanese invade again, the scale will not be as huge as this time. ”

According to the historical records of the Eastern Empire, the battle with the Japanese invaders, more than 10,000 Japanese invaders were killed and captured, because the battle was carried out in the sea area of Taichuan City, so in the history of the Eastern Empire, this battle is called the "Taichuan Victory".

Taihao's prediction was accurate, and the Japanese did not attack the southeast coast in a major way since. However, they still sneaked into the coastal city intermittently, disturbing the lives of the people like ghosts. General Nanzhu strategized, and the wolf soldiers were always on guard, constantly giving heavy blows to the Japanese invaders, so that they could not succeed.

The emperor's order was to completely eliminate the pirates within two months, however, as the deadline approached, the pirates still appeared occasionally, which made Taihao deeply anxious. In addition, according to the report of the secret agent, Wata-ue Kangyi, the leader of the Wako group at the southern end of the sea, is constantly recruiting new members, and the number has surged from the original 20 to more than 400. At the same time, the Toshio Toshio Group at the northern end was also increasing. Although they pose no threat to the southeast coast at the moment, it is unknown whether they will arrive there when winter comes. This series of problems meant that Taihao could not ensure that the two months would be over, so he had to ask the imperial court to postpone the removal of the pirates.
