Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 275 Life is like a play
"Fight Shibazhi and punish the murderer!"

Chu Yun woke up from his sleep.Shouts from the people of Jinzhou City came from outside the mansion.

"What are the people outside making noise about?" Chu Yun asked.

"Military Lord, let's go out and have a look. The survivors of the East China Sea shipwreck have returned. They were deeply angry when they heard that the pirates robbed our ships. They are collectively protesting what the pirates have done and demanding that they pay for their lives." Yu Cheng said.

"Follow me to go out and have a look." Chu Yun was the instigator of this incident, of course he knew what happened.

When Chu Yun led the guards out of the mansion, the streets outside the mansion were already crowded with people, and the banners in black and white were written with words asking to fight pirates.

"The military lord has come out, we must ask him to avenge the victims of the shipwreck!"

"Pirates are so hateful, not only passing merchants, but even the family members of the workers on board!"

After the survivors of the shipwreck returned to southern Liaonan, the evil deeds of Shibazhi’s pirates attacking the ships of the Shangfu Liao Army spread from word to mouth, and under the exaggeration of the Kyushu News, almost all the residents living in the city were Know what the pirates "do".

For a while, the masses were furious, and the voices of crusade against Shibazhi kept coming and going.

Since its establishment, the Liao Army and the people under its jurisdiction have never suffered such a loss, but anyone who offends me will be punished no matter how far away!
"My lord, you must avenge me!"

When a cripple in the crowd saw Chu Yun, he limped towards Chu Yun with a cane.

The guards and soldiers surrounding Chu Yun looked at each other tacitly, and let the disabled man in.

When the rest of the demonstrators saw someone coming forward, most of them calmed down and waited for the development of the situation.

"What are your difficulties?" Chu Yun asked.

This disabled soldier was an original soldier of the Liao Army. After being disabled in the battle with Hou Jin, he was transferred to the logistics department.Later, he participated in the attack of pirates in the East China Sea, which was directed and acted by the Liao army, playing the role of the victim...

"My lord, we obeyed your order and went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to bring some family members of workers working in southern Liaoning. Unexpectedly, we were attacked by pirates on the way. They not only pierced our ship, but also killed the women on board. The young were thrown into the sea to feed the fish! More than 200 of us fought hard to resist, but there were thousands of them. We were no match for them. After a bloody battle, only more than 20 people, including me, were attacked by Zhang Yuanwai, who was passing by in Nanjing. We were rescued and survived. Otherwise, none of us would survive in the vast sea, and no one would be able to tell the world about the crimes of the pirates!" The lame soldier wiped his tears and cried, as if he could still remember it vividly. "Even the little right leg was broken while fighting pirates!"

"Zhang Yuanwai, is what he said true?" Chu Yun asked Zhang Yuanwai.

"My lord's words are absolutely true. When I passed by, I found that the ship had sunk, and the sea was full of broken wood and corpses. It was a horrible sight." Zhang Yuanwai from Nanjing said.

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard that the highly respected businessmen in Nanjing City said so.If it was just a cripple who no one knew complaining, some people might doubt the authenticity of the incident, but if even Zhang Yuanwai, who is relatively independent and has a complicated background, admits this, it is a certainty.

"This group of pirates is too abominable. They have done such outrageous things. They must be punished severely!" The common people booed one after another, making the originally slightly stable order boil again!
"Everyone, please don't get excited. We still need to ask the ins and outs of this incident in detail." Chu Yun comforted everyone, and then asked the limping soldier, "I'm asking you, and you must answer truthfully. The one who attacked our ship Is it really Shibazhi's pirate?"

"Mr. Hui's words are absolutely true. It was Shibazhi's warship that attacked us, and the pirates on board were indeed Shibazhi's pirates!" said the lame soldier confidently.

Wow!Many people were in an uproar again.

"I didn't expect the people of Shibazhi to do such a despicable thing. Fortunately, I thought that our Liao army could live in peace with them and signed the "Ryukyu Treaty" with them. Now the pirates in the East China Sea tore up the treaty and attacked us. Obviously they violated our oath first! I even suspect that they want to attack Ryukyu Island or even Dalian Port!" Chu Yun said.

Attack Ryukyu and Dalian Port?Some people who don't know the distance between Shibazhi and Dalian Port are even more angry.They only know that Jinzhou is very close to Dalian Port. If Dalian Port falls, their stable life will be broken.

"We must attack Shibazhi and stop them at sea!"

"Down with Shibazhi and defend our hard-won peace!"

Excited people waved their fists, furious.As the strength of Liaodong in southern Liaoning increases, they have not thought that the Liao army will be defeated!
Chu Yun saw that the timing was about the same, so he said: "As the saying goes, those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away. Although we are reasonable people, if someone takes the initiative to provoke us, we don't mind fighting back fiercely! I swear here , The Liao Army will definitely seek justice for the victims this time!"

"Hooray! Hooray!"

What kind of nerve is wrong with Shibazhi that he dared to provoke such a group of lunatics.Keeping in the dark, Zhang Yuanwai looked at the militant and crazy crowd, and muttered in his heart.

"If you want to support our Liao Army's crusade against Shibazhi, you don't need to donate money or materials, and you don't need to sell iron and steel. You just need to work hard and deposit in our bank." An official of Kyushu Bank stood up and said.

It is estimated that with the current enthusiasm of the masses, Kyushu Bank can absorb another batch of deposits, which can then be used for military expansion.For the common people, they can not only support the Liao army, but also earn interest, so why not do it?
"We have aroused the emotions of the people, and then we can march to the East China Sea with great fanfare." Chu Yun said after returning to the mansion, "The soldier did a good job just now, I will give him credit later."

"If the fleet goes south with great fanfare, will Shibazhi have time to prepare? Why don't we carry out a surprise attack?" Yu Cheng asked puzzled.

"Do you think that the spies placed by Shibazhi will not notice our large-scale fleet going south?" Chu Yun said, "Since we can't hide it, why don't we let them gather all the pirates?" Let’s eliminate the main force together, so as not to waste time dealing with them at sea. However, food and strategic materials can be transported to Ryukyu first to shorten the supply line.”

He picked up the "Ryukyu Treaty" signed with Zheng Zhilong on the desk and maintained the peace of the East China Sea for several months, and tore it into pieces.In the face of real strength, these agreements are nothing!
