Fan Dayong was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and directly ordered the soldiers he brought:

"Come here, take down these spies!"

The soldiers rushed up without hesitation and tied up several people.

Seeing Fan Dayong's tough attitude, the other three captains felt discouraged and even began to feel weak.

It's over, what Fan Dayong said might be true.

Collaborating with the Japanese is a serious crime. Once it is exposed, the entire family will be executed and the three clans will be implicated. No one can save them.

Only Captain Zhao was the calmest.

No matter what, he is the commander-in-chief's man.

He didn't believe that Zheng Yuannai would dare to kill him without orders from his superiors.

After all, Songhu was the territory he had managed for many years. As long as Zheng Yuannai didn't kill him, he would be sure to escape from the military camp.

At that time, the worst that could happen is that I could take the servants in the mansion to the sea to occupy an island and become the king, and plunder everywhere like the Japanese pirates, and I could still live a carefree life.

Fan Dayong had no idea what he was thinking, so he gagged him and sent him to the Shadongbao military camp.

Chen Qingzhu did not leave immediately after killing the Japanese pirates. Instead, he used invisibility to return to the dense forest on the shore to recover his spiritual energy.

Walking on water, fighting in the sea, and continuously casting wood and ice spells consumed a lot of her spiritual energy.

Therefore, she also heard what Zheng Yuannai said.

She was very satisfied with Zheng Yuannai's awareness and was also very concerned about the upcoming landing operation.

After all, this was the first time that Zheng Yuannai's army fought against the Japanese pirates. She hoped that they could be tempered, but she did not want these two thousand troops and talented generals to suffer too much damage.

Thinking that their torture was over, she called Zheng Yuannai out of the military camp again that night.

Zheng Yuannai was not surprised by the letter that suddenly appeared in the military tent.

He dismissed the guards and walked out of the camp. Soon he was swept away by a force and flew to a farther place.

Sure enough, the master of the temple was seen there.

"Guanzhu."

He bowed.

"I came to you this time to ask you how you plan to land on the island and fight."

Chen Qingzhu went straight to the point and spoke in a calm voice.

Zheng Yuannai revealed all the intelligence he obtained from the interrogation and his own battle plan.

Hearing that he was planning to take 800 soldiers to fight at sea, Chen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said firmly:

"The number of troops has been changed to 1,500."

It was a rare opportunity to engage in direct combat with the Japanese pirates, and she hoped that as many of the two thousand-man army as possible could be trained.

Moreover, the combat experience of the Japanese pirates is much different from that of the new recruits, so it is safer to crush them by outnumbering them.

Zheng Yuannai had some concerns:

"What if other pirates take advantage of the lack of troops in Songhu to attack..."

Chen Qingzhu naturally considered this aspect:

"You only need to ensure that the beacon towers in Songhu are operating normally. As for the rest, I will stay in Songhu until you lead the troops back."

The first half of the year's flood prevention season is far from over, so she naturally wants to make sure everything goes perfectly and let Zheng Yuannai hand in a perfect answer before leaving.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuannai was overjoyed and no longer had any worries.

The master of the temple is the god in his heart. With the master in charge, what else does he have to worry about!

"Follow the master's orders!"

Chen Qingzhu continued to instruct Zheng Yuannai to tell everyone when he swore an oath before the battle:

All soldiers participating in the war will be allocated 30% of the spoils according to their military merits. The civilians will be allocated 50% of the spoils of war. Moreover, this allocation is in addition to the rewards issued by the court.

In addition, the death pension for soldiers in battle was seventy taels per person.

Zheng Yuan was slightly surprised.

This group of Japanese pirates had a considerable background. Even if they spent money extravagantly, they must have accumulated at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver or more over the years.

Thirty percent of the spoils were used to reward the soldiers, which was really generous.

He followed his father in various camps, but he had never seen any general give so much money to soldiers at one time.
