After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The man in charge then pushed Zhong Si Niang to the ground:

"Humph, I'll spare you because you're a sensible brother!"

Only then did Zhong Si Niang escape the disaster.

"Fourth Lady, I will definitely become a warrior and make great achievements. Just wait for me!"

Zhong Sanlang said with determination.

His only wish now is to save his sister from the fire and stop her from being beaten and humiliated.

Zhong Si Niang looked at her brother, not daring to say anything more, but her heart was filled with despair.

Swords have no eyes, and those who were driven to the front to block swords and arrows, how many could come back? The so-called meritorious service as a samurai to protect their families was nothing but a lie told by those damned Japanese pirates.

After this meeting, they didn’t even know if they would see each other again.

If anything happened to her brother, she would be left alone.

She didn't dare to think about how she would live then.

Cases like the Zhong brothers and sisters are not the worst.

The most miserable are those who came here with high hopes but failed to find their family members.

Their family members might have been captured and tortured to death, or they might have been killed when the Japanese pirates raided the village last year.

I have no idea whether it is a separation of life or death, I just know that the person was not found.

But the Japanese pirates would not sympathize with their feelings. They asked them to come and see their relatives so that they would fight harder when they charged into battle, and they didn't care whether they found anyone or not.

When the time came, they started to drive them away with whips:

"Okay! It's time! Everyone aboard!"

Anyone who walked slower would be whipped.

Those who want to resist will be stabbed in the back with a knife.

The scene was crying.

Before long, the young and middle-aged men were forcefully driven into the lower level of the cabin.

The next day after they boarded the ship, someone came and forced them to shave their heads and smear varnish on their heads to pretend to be Japanese pirates.

Looking at each other's hairstyles which were exactly the same as those of the Japanese pirates, many people couldn't help but burst into tears in despair.

Not everyone is willing to risk his life for his sister like Zhong Sanlang.

They just want to live.

Even if I am worse than pigs and dogs, I still want to live.

But now, what is the difference between them and the Japanese pirates? When the government troops see them, they will fight to the death to kill them. Where is their way to survive?

Different from the sadness and despair on the lower level, in the upper cabins, the Japanese pirates were drinking and eating meat, and were very happy.

The leader of this fleet, Lin Zhaiyi, was drinking and discussing the landing with several of his capable subordinates.

Although the various Japanese pirates acted independently, they had a tacit understanding on the issue of landing on the coast of Wei.

Before each operation, the leaders of all parties would gather together on the high seas and draw lots to decide where each force would land, so as to avoid everyone going to the same place, which would not only affect the harvest but also damage the harmony.

According to the rules, the leaders would usually inform their subordinates of the landing place only after they got on board.

Upon learning that their team was actually going to land at Songhu, several small leaders were horrified.

"Chief! Zheng Yuannai, who wiped out Brother Xiang last year, is now the commander of Songhu. Is it too risky for us to land in Songhu?"

"Yes, Chief, have we been tricked?"

Lin Zhai snorted disdainfully upon hearing this:

"Am I a fool who suffers in silence?"

"Don't worry, I have already negotiated with them. If we can dampen Zheng Yuannai's arrogance this time, Brother Xiang's Fox Ear Island will be ours."

Last year, more than half of Xiang Erge's forces were destroyed in the Wei Dynasty, and their strength was greatly reduced. Major Japanese pirate forces such as Lin Zhaiyi's Glass Island were all eyeing this piece of fat meat.

But precisely because everyone wants it, no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

No one wants to fight with each other and lose their vitality, allowing others to take advantage and leaving the issue unresolved.

Hearing this, the expressions of Lin Zhaiyi's men immediately relaxed.

Only a conservative leader, Lu Laojiu, could not help but question:

"They actually agreed to such a thing?"

Lin Zhai said calmly:

"Why not? Last year, my second brother was killed by Zheng Yuannai, and the Emperor of Wei regarded him as a peerless military talent and cultivated him extensively. If we don't dampen his spirit as soon as possible and let him grow into a so-called famous general against the Japanese, who will have a good life in the future?"

"We in Glass Island took a big risk, so we have to take the lion's share!"

Lu Laojiu still felt uncertain:

"Chief, Zheng Yuan was able to wipe out Brother Xiang and his men, and he has already started training new troops. I'm afraid he is very capable. We have never dealt with him before, so why don't we not take the risk?"

When Lin Zhai heard this, he laughed and patted Lu Laojiu on the shoulder:

"Old Nine, you are just too timid! The Songhu coastline is more than 400 miles long. Even if Zheng Yuan is a god, he can't predict where we will land, let alone a head-on encounter."

"Besides, since your boss has decided to land in Songhu, he must have sent people to find out where his troops will be stationed."

Hearing this, Lu Laojiu's worry turned into joy:

"The leader is indeed very powerful! He even found out the troop deployment routes without anyone noticing!"

Lin Zhaiyi's expression was filled with coldness and murderous intent:

"Money can make you a god. The several thousand households under him are all greedy ghosts."

It cost a lot to bribe those thousand households this time, and he must earn double the money back from the common people and wealthy businessmen near Songhu.

So what if Zheng Yuannai was guarding Songhu? He could still act as if he was in an empty place.

He, Lin Zhaiyi, will use this rising talented general to gain fame.
