Nojiri squatted among the captives, her heart full of despair.

After being trampled on by a horse yesterday, Nojiri fainted directly on the battlefield and woke up after a few hours.

He was injured and could not run away at all. Moreover, all the Japanese pirates who could escape at this time had already escaped. He fled alone in another country with injuries. Without a ship, it was not safe to go anywhere.

Therefore, Nojiri did not hesitate too much and limped to the beach and surrendered to the new army who was preparing breakfast.

According to Nojiri's idea, he was also a pirate captain who was a samurai. He once commanded a small morning ship to reach Goryeo, Liaodong, Ryukyu, Jiangnan and Rizhao in Qi Province. He can be regarded as an old sea dog. He has good kendo and navigation skills. He should be considered a talent and will not be beheaded.

But at the beginning of the trial, he found that the situation seemed different from what he thought.

The guy who presided over the trial was simply killing people at will...

He just picked out a few blacksmiths and shipbuilders at the beginning, and the rest began to find various reasons to start chopping people.

What is too ugly and looks bad, so you can kill it.

It’s not okay to be good-looking, it’s easy to seduce your own girls and kill them.

Those who look vicious will definitely not work and kill them.

The honest-looking one... How could a pirate look be honest? It must be a disguise and kill.

The thin ones kill, the fat ones kill, and the injured ones naturally need to kill.

Nojiri touched his stomach sadly and looked at his lame legs. He felt that he would soon be thrown into the sea to feed fish and shrimps.

‘If I survive this time, I will definitely be a good person and never be a pirate again…’

Nojiri desperately prayed for the blessing of gods and Buddhas in the sky, but it actually worked!

"Sanlang, you can't kill him anymore!"

When it was about to be Nojiri's turn, Xie Bao couldn't help but say:

"What you mean is to choose five and kill one, and then kill it! Our family still needs labor and cultivate land!"

At the beginning, Xu Shiyang killed more than 50 people who were dissatisfied and scolded, but later he cut down almost 6 or 70 people for various reasons. If he killed him again, he would indeed exceed the standard.

These prisoners were a considerable wealth for the Xu family. For families not threatened by bandits, each strong man was equivalent to reclaiming at least 10 acres of barren land. If they were to collect 5 dou of grain per acre of land, one strong man could provide 5 stones of grain in a year.

Therefore, labor is also a precious wealth for the current Xu family, and we cannot kill them indiscriminately.

Xu Shiyang sighed deeply and said helplessly: "I'm going to make them honest. Hundreds and thousands of strong men are all pirates who are used to robbing and killing people. When you come into our house at once, do you believe they will work honestly?"

Jie Zhen and Jie Bao all understood this truth. The Japanese pirates caught were not terrified and could not be controlled by them.

However, the population is indeed very expensive...

"I don't think so, I have to kill again."

Xu Shiyang made the final decision:

"Kill another 20 people, and you can choose them. I won't care which one to kill and which one to keep, but there must be enough!"

The Jie Zhen and Jie Bao looked at each other and thought it seemed that this was OK.

At least they won’t kill each other indiscriminately like Xu Shiyang, so that they can leave behind those who look strong so that they can do more work.

"Yes, Saburo." The two of them bowed to accept the order together: "Let's see what we both do next."

So Nojiri escaped her life like this.

The people Jie Zhen and Jie Bao chose to kill were all thin men who didn't seem to have much strength to do heavy work. They didn't know that Nojiri's leg was injured, but they just thought that this guy was strong enough, and it would be a pity to kill him.

‘Woo…, Bodhisattva bless you, I will be honest in the future…’

Nojiri tried hard to cover her mouth, preventing herself from crying.

At this time, hundreds of corpses were piled up in the sea. As the waves rose and fell slightly, even the sea water was dyed thick red. In the sea a little further away, some triangular fish fins paraded back and forth, which were sharks attracted by the smell of blood...

He was really frightened.

...

In the evening, Xu Shiliu returned to the camp.

He was drunk and had the smell of rouge and water. Obviously, he was not just doing food and drink at the Zhang family.

Sure enough, the Zhang family manager who sent him back bowed and said, "The two girls were then sent to the young master's mansion."

Haha, I even brought it to the woman.

"Fifth brother, you are still young, don't play too much."

"I know, don't worry, third brother, just one or two maids."

Xu Shiliu said indifferently:

"That doesn't matter. What you asked me to talk to the Zhang family has almost been discussed."

"Speak and listen."

Xu Shiyang was a little anxious about this. If he had not had to maintain his cold image he had just erected, he would have wanted to talk to the Zhang family.

"The head of the Zhang family agreed to reduce the cost of parking and diversion for our family, and also agreed to train sailors on our family. The training fee is easy to say."

For the Zhang family who controlled Rizhao Port, these are all business.

The Xu family fleet is seeing its scale expand several times, and even if the mooring fee is reduced, their income will not decrease - after all, Rizhao Port is only the closest to the Xu family, but it is not the best port in Qi Province.

"What else?"

"Before I could speak up, the Zhang family brought it up first!"

"oh?"

An unexpected surprise.

Xu Shiyang has always wanted to unite the forts in Jiangbei..., at least Qi Province..., OK, at this stage, the forts in these southern and southwestern counties in Qi Province are united - even if we are in the situation of an alliance, we will face the future enemies together.

With this great victory in rescuing the Fortress of Nobiao, Xu Shiyang was about to take this step, but he didn't expect that the Zhang family would come up on it.

It's right to think about it carefully. The Zhang family only saw the brilliant victory of one hundred soldiers against thousands of Japanese pirates. They felt that the Xu family's force was trustworthy, but they didn't know that the Tartar Mouke family killed by Xu Shiyang had a father who was Meng'an. Next time the Tartars entered the pass, the Xu family (and the families that were alliance with the Xu family) would have to face thousands of Tartar cavalry.

The result is so good. It was originally supposed to be the Xu family who asked someone else to form an alliance, but now the Zhang family takes the initiative to come up, and many things will be easier to deal with in the future.

"The Wang family, Ding family and Bao family also agreed to form an alliance." Xu Shiliu continued: "It's just that they ask you to agree. These three families seem to be afraid of you, third brother."

"Of course I agree! Send someone to deliver a letter quickly, and the soldiers at home will not be used, but the uncle and father must come as soon as possible. To form an alliance, people at the head level of their family will make the final decision!"

"Okay, I'll ask Master Sun to go there later. He is very skilled in riding and has a good horse, so he can be faster."

In the five alliances, tens of thousands of strong men can afford to mobilize the limit. Although the combat effectiveness is still insufficient, the number of people is enough to be fooled.

Besides, there is hope before there is someone.
