Chapter 134 Rewarding according to merit
In Satsuma Province, at the residence of the Shimazu clan.
The guard Shimazu Motohisa looked at the letter in his hand, then looked at the messenger from the Matsuura clan, whose mouth was a little chapped by the wind, and his face was also full of suspicion.
The King of Nine Mountains in Middle-earth is going to lead his army to conquer Kyushu?
Why didn't they go to Satsuma to tell him, but instead went to Hirado to tell Matsuura clan that Satsuma was the closest to Ming?
Just as he was wondering, there was a loud noise in the yard, and then a shadow jumped out from behind the messenger.
With a "bang" of a punch, he was knocked away before he could even see the figure clearly.
Chen Jiu raised his hand and scooped up, then sucked hard, leaving only a pile of clothes on the ground.
The last one was finally killed and it was getting dark again.
He drew out Kai Tian , smiled at the messenger and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will spare your life."
The messenger was so frightened that his calves trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
However, Chen Jiu rushed out like a whirlwind with Kaitian in his hand and chopped down all the retainers of the Shimazu clan who came rushing over after hearing the noise .
Upon seeing this, the remaining women, children, servants, etc. in the feudal lord's mansion were frightened and immediately fled in all directions, even the messenger ran away.
Now, he was the only one left in the entire feudal lord's mansion.
He looked up at the sky and waited silently.
This great Japanese god must be too busy or too helpless to show up to deal with him.
He had fought his way all the way from Northern Kyushu to Southern Kyushu, and it seemed that the Great God of Japan had only sent a sage who knew ninjutsu and two senior ninjas to snipe him, and then, it seemed that nothing happened.
You're not coming, are you?
Then I won’t be polite.
Chen Jiu waited for a while, until it was completely dark, then he arrived at the camp of Yindu Immortal Palace.
At this time, Luo Li and her two brothers were entertaining the earthly immortals from the aristocratic families. When Chen Jiu showed up, she immediately came up to him and asked with concern, "How are you, Jiu? You haven't eaten for almost two days, right?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I ate a few blood soul pills, I'm not hungry."
Then, he raised his hand and said loudly: "Excuse me, everyone, please stop eating. We should get down to business. Everyone, follow me."
After saying that, he walked directly out of the hall. At this time, Qi Jingtong and his son and all the officers and generals were summoned by him through telepathy, and they were standing there in an orderly manner waiting.
Seeing that everyone was present, Chen Jiu immediately said in a loud voice: "I have killed most of the immortals in Jiuzhou. The rest are left to you. I will give you one night. Tonight, you must completely occupy Jiuzhou Island. Any Japanese pirates who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Are you kidding? It's been just over a day and you've run across the entire Kyushu Island and killed all the immortals?
Upon hearing this, the earthly immortal from the aristocratic family couldn't help but show doubt.
Could it be that this guy had been hanging around outside for more than a day and then ran in to trick them into going out to die?
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These guys are really hopeless.
Forget it, just make do with it. Anyway, he has almost killed all the immortals on Kyushu Island. No matter how bad these guys are, they will be invincible when they go out.
As for the true God of Japan, whoever encounters him will be unlucky.
The reason why he brought in the wealthy and powerful families was to fight against the true god of Japan.
There are so many earth immortals scattered everywhere. I wonder how much divine power you have to deal with them!
Chen Jiu sighed in his heart, but on the surface he said with great pride: "Don't worry, if the true god from Japan comes, I will support you, and you just need to grab the territory."
Is this true or false?
The earthly immortals from the aristocratic and wealthy families were still a little skeptical.
Chen Jiu said solemnly: "I hope you can fight bravely and occupy Jiuzhou Island as soon as possible. Then I will ask for credit for you. Expanding the territory is an unprecedented achievement. I believe it will be no problem to confer several dukes on such a large piece of land as Jiuzhou Island.
I promise that this time we will definitely reward people according to their merits, and all military merit awards will be issued within half a month."
His words were indeed quite encouraging.
Because the imperial court is in chaos now, any military merit rewards have basically been divided up by corrupt officials and cannot be distributed at all.
It's like the reward of one hundred taels of silver for killing an enemy. If it is really given to the garrison guards who are so poor that they can't even get enough food, they will really fight to the death!
There is also the possibility of accumulating military merits to be awarded titles of nobility and dukedom, which is attractive to aristocratic families. After all, what aristocratic families need to develop is power.
Unfortunately, there is none of these. If you are not a relative, friend or lackey of those corrupt officials, you won’t even have money, let alone a title or a promotion.
This may also be one of the reasons why the wealthy families are unwilling to fight for the imperial court.
That would be great if it did.
This Great Demon King of Jiuling Mountain may not be lying, because even the imperial court is afraid of him!
The immortals from the noble and wealthy families all became excited when they heard this, and Qi Jingtong and his son and the garrison officers were even more excited.
That's about it.
Chen Jiu said decisively: "We are now in Samo Country. I will release the Sun family's earthly immortals and 4,000 troops in batches. I will also release bat soldiers, bean soldiers and monkey monsters to cooperate with you. Remember, fight bravely and I will ask for credit for you."
After saying that, he quickly went to the feudal lord's mansion outside.
After that, he released an earthly immortal from the Sun family, five hundred elite guards, five hundred elite Qinglian Sect soldiers, one hundred bat soldiers, ten bean soldiers, and ten monkey monsters.
Sun's earthly immortal extended his spiritual sense to take a look and couldn't help but look shocked.
Let alone immortals here, there doesn't even seem to be anyone with the strength of a demon king. He can take over this city with just a wave of his hand!
Chen Jiu didn't say anything more. He directly called Fu Qingfeng and took him to fly eastward.
He flew and scattered along the way, and in less than two hours, the entire Kyushu Island was filled with earth immortals from wealthy and aristocratic families, bat soldiers, bean soldiers, monkey monsters, garrison guards, and elite members of the Qinglian Sect.
These people are so powerful that they can take down the Kyushu Island even if none of its immortals have been killed, not to mention that most of the immortals on Kyushu Island have been killed by him.
The reason why he chose to launch the attack at night was not because he was impatient, but because the earth immortals could use their spiritual sense to scan, the bat soldiers were even more powerful at night than during the day, and the monkey demon king's spiritual sense was not weak either. For them, there was no difference between night and day. However, it was not the same for the Japanese pirates. After the immortals were killed, they were basically in the dark at night.
That night, the situation on Kyushu Island really changed. Everyone went crazy and killed people. Not to mention the Japanese pirates, they would kill anyone who dared to curse or even shout. As for the Japanese pirates, they would kill them all regardless of whether they resisted or not!
The result is predictable. After one night, the entire Kyushu Island was basically left with only ordinary people who dared not even make a sound.
Chen Jiu didn't care whether the people he killed were Japanese pirates or not. As long as he got the head, he would count it as military merit.
Just as a ray of light appeared in the sky, the entire Kyushu Island was already silent and as quiet as an uninhabited desert island.
In Hirado Castle, in the feudal lord's mansion of the Matsuura family, bat soldiers kept taking off and landing, records of military merits flew over like snowflakes, and piles of heads almost filled up the entire feudal lord's mansion. Luo Li, Jiaona, Zhang Wanxia and Xu Yanran were all very busy, and the old fox fairy, the wolf demon Wang Er, and Daqing and Xiaoqing even ran out to help.
Luo Li looked at the numbers on the military merit list and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "I have almost 100,000 soldiers, where did so many Japanese pirates come from?"
Zhang Wanxia also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I have almost 100,000 yuan. Are they killing innocent people to gain credit?"
Jiaona couldn't bear it and said, "Ajiu, either you give the order or stop killing them. They are going crazy with killing."
Xu Yanran was so shocked that she was speechless. Nearly four hundred thousand people were killed in one night!
Chen Jiu said calmly: "Are there any good people among the Japanese pirates? There is no such thing as killing innocent people for credit. All the Japanese pirates should be killed!"
In another world, the Japanese pirates killed more than hundreds of thousands of people!
Well, if he doesn't give the order, then we'll continue killing until about noon, when the bat soldiers who came to deliver the military merit records and heads gradually disappeared.
That night, these guys killed more than 600,000 Japanese pirates!
Xu Yanran looked at the final calculated figures and couldn't help asking, "Ajiu, you really should give them credit. I'm afraid most of them are not pirates."
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Of course, I have already agreed to recommend them for credit, how can I go back on my word?"
After saying this, he picked up the pen and began to write the memorial.
Will Jiajing really reward them according to their merits?
