Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 837: Go south! Go south!
"Why? Do you think I'm confused?"

Looking at the generals who stood up one after another, Qi Jin raised his lips slightly, stood up with a smile, and walked towards Man Gui and the others with his head held high, "In your hearts, you don't really think that His Majesty appointed me as the commander-in-chief to suppress the Japanese, asked you to lead your troops to the south to suppress the Japanese, and even transferred personnel to form a joint Japanese suppression branch, just to solve the Japanese rebellion in Zhejiang, right?"

"Qi Shuai, what do you mean?"

Man Gui frowned and stared at Qi Jin. His intuition told him that the Japanese invasion in Zhejiang might not be as simple as they had originally thought!
"Your Majesty is so wise and powerful!"

Qi Jin glanced at Man Gui, raised his hand to the sky and saluted, then said: "If it was really just a few Japanese pirates harassing Zhejiang, why would they go to such great lengths to dispatch tens of thousands of Beijing troops to the south? You are all commanders, you should know how much money and food it costs for so many soldiers in a month."

"I'm telling you the truth!!"

"From the beginning to the end, the Japanese rebellion in Zhejiang was not caused by Japanese pirates, but by people with ulterior motives who used the name of Japanese pirates to provoke the court and His Majesty!!"

Boom! !

Thunder roared outside the hall again, and the expressions of all the generals inside the hall changed.

"Who the hell is so bold as to do such a heinous act!!"

"Qi Shuai, what did you find out? Tell me now, damn it, I will lead the army to destroy them!!"

"They dare to challenge the imperial court, dare to challenge His Majesty, how many heads do they have that are worth chopping off!!"

After a brief silence, Man Gui and other officers started cursing. In their hearts, whoever dared to disrespect the emperor would be killed without mercy!
The reason they are where they are today is all due to the emperor's trust and his martial spirit. If it were not so, how could they stand up and live like this with dignity?

Instead of kneeling on the ground and serving as a dog for some civil servants!!

The trend of civil officials being valued and military officials being despised has been prevalent in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. If we want to change this trend, we must work hard.

This is how the title of nobility was awarded based on merit.

No matter who it is, as long as they have made great contributions in the fighting on the battlefield and are qualified to be awarded a title, Zhu Youxiao will reward them all without leaving out any of them.

"You guys still want to suppress the Japanese rebellion in Zhejiang?"

Seeing the generals were furious, Qi Jin said, "If everyone is like this, then get out of here and go back to the capital. I don't need such incompetent generals!!"

Qi Jin's scolding made Man Gui and the others clench their fists, but no one said a word. They stared at Qi Jin with sharp eyes.

Only now did they understand.

Why did Qi Jin ask them to come to Nanjing in advance?

This is to communicate with them.

In fact, everything was just as Man Gui and the others thought. This was Qi Jin's purpose. In fact, when the Japanese pirates broke out in Zhejiang, Qi Jin hesitated whether to submit a memorial to the emperor to remind him that not all the Japanese pirates who attacked Zhejiang were real pirates. However, this matter was of great concern, and Qi Jin was worried about what kind of turmoil this memorial would cause if it was urgently submitted to Beijing.

However, what Qi Jin did not expect was that when he was appointed as the commander-in-chief to pacify the Japanese, a secret decree was also issued, and the content of the decree shocked Qi Jin.

The emperor knew the actual situation in Zhejiang, and he was even more aware that the rampant Japanese invasion was most likely not caused by Japanese pirates, but by some evil spirits under his rule in the southeast.

Under this secret decree, Zhu Youxiao gave Qi Jin clear instructions: how long the war against the Japanese pirates would last, don't consider other factors, just judge by the situation in each place, the rampant Japanese pirates must be eliminated one by one, and the vested interest groups hiding behind them must be hunted out and killed one by one! !

If anyone dares to put pressure on Qi Jin or attack him indirectly during the suppression of the Japanese, don't hesitate, we will take them all down when the time is right! !
It was precisely this secret decree that gave Qi Jin full confidence. It was also because of this that Qi Jin could not sleep all day and all night before Man Gui and others came.

The emperor's trust was so great that the southeast and other places dared to have any unrest. As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion, the only thing Qi Jin could do was to commit suicide and apologize. "I am telling you all this just to make you clear."

After a moment of silence, Qi Jin finally spoke: "We are following His Majesty's order to pacify the Japanese. That means we must pacify the Japanese. But I want to tell you one thing. From the moment you cross the Yangtze River, you should be careful in your hearts. Except for the direct order from His Majesty and the orders issued by me, any order from anyone else should be rejected by me!!"

The situation is much more serious than expected.

When Man Gui and the others heard this, they all frowned. They originally thought that it was just a simple battle to defeat the Japanese pirates, but they didn't expect that there were so many invisible things behind it.

"This is the intelligence I sent people to gather before you came. There are also some other things I know, all of which are summarized here."

As everyone had different looks on their faces, Qi Jin took something out of his arms and handed it to Man Gui. "Now look at it, remember it in your mind, and after you read it, burn it for me!!"

"Here!!"

Man Gui immediately took it and shouted loudly to Qi Jin. Seeing this, other officers gathered around Man Gui. At this time, Qi Jin looked coldly at the generals in front of him.

"This……"

"what……"

"hiss……"

Many voices were heard in the hall, but when someone looked up and saw Qi Jin's cold eyes, they all suppressed their fear, forced themselves to calm down, and continued to look at what Man Gui was holding.

Time passes minute by minute.

"You all know where you're going, right?"

Qi Jin looked at the things thrown into the brazier, which were burning fiercely, and said coldly.

"clear!"

Man Gui was the first to clasp his fists and said, "I have been ordered to go to Ningbo Prefecture!! After arriving at the jurisdiction, I will station in Cixi and wait for General Qi's order!!"

"I have been ordered to go to Hangzhou Prefecture!"

"I have been ordered to go to Taizhou Prefecture!"

"I have been ordered to go to Wenzhou Prefecture!"

"The last general..."

As a famous officer announced his destination, a faint smile appeared on Qi Jin's face. Looking at the morale-filled generals in front of him, Qi Jin knew that a real war was about to begin in Zhejiang.

"When you arrive at your respective territories, recruit miners for me first. Remember, you must be strictly screened by me. I will trace back three generations of each person selected to join the camp!!"

Qi Jin extended his hand and looked at the generals, saying, "Don't think that the battle in Zhejiang will be over in a year or two. This battle will not be over until all the filthy people hiding behind the scenes are caught. Everyone, be alert. After you rush to your respective areas of jurisdiction, report the military intelligence to me urgently. What should we do next? Wait for my new military order!!"

"Here!!"

The generals responded with a bang.
