Chapter 86 Secretly crossing Chencang
Looking at the messy mansion, Qi Pinghai was also helpless.
Every time Sakura invaded, there would be a commotion like this in the mansion.
Although he was quite dissatisfied with the decision made by his superiors, he had to be responsible for all the generals and the common people of Donghai Prefecture, so he did not dare to arbitrarily send troops to wipe out the pirates.
If this happens, not only will he be punished, but all the generals will be implicated and many of them will be dismissed from their posts.
Dismissal would be fine, but what we are afraid of is that the court will send some servile officials, who will then collude with the Sakura pirates and the entire Donghai Prefecture will be finished.
Many people’s hometowns are here. If things get out of control, it will be too late to regret.
It was precisely because he obeyed on the surface and secretly cultivated people from the underworld to teach those invading Sakura bandits a lesson that the eastern coast was prevented from being corrupted over the years.
If it weren't for his secret resistance, the Donghai Prefecture would have been ravaged by the Yingpi.
However, most generals did not know about this and thought that he was just like those who advocated peace. They did not dare to fight with the Sakura pirates and only wanted peace.
With a sigh, Qi Pinghai ignored the noisy official residence and quietly left to find the hall masters of the Qi Hai Gang to discuss how to deal with Ying Kou.
The Qi Hai Gang was the gang he secretly established, hiding in the Donghai Prefecture. It was named directly after his surname, so that even if it was exposed, it would be his own business.
This was also done to counter the supervision of the peace faction, especially the Jinyiwei.
Over the past few decades, as Cao Wenzhen's status became higher and higher, the Jinyiwei also rose in power. They supervised all officials, all government offices, and all kings... Their power had long surpassed that of Taicha, one of the Three Dukes.
There are many Jinyiwei bases in Donghai Prefecture. Their main purpose is to monitor these high-ranking officials and prevent them from coming into conflict with the Yingkou.
One of the duties of the Qi Hai Gang is to secretly monitor the Jinyiwei to prevent them from doing anything detrimental to the Donghai Prefecture.
It was also because of this that the Qi Hai Gang discovered many things about the collusion between the Jinyiwei and the Yingkou, and even the demons and monsters in the East China Sea.
If Qi Pinghai had not been worried about exposing the situation of Qi Hai Gang, he would have had these Jinyiwei people taught a lesson long ago.
However, he was only the lord of one prefecture, while the Daning Dynasty had thirty-six prefectures and many great masters guarding it.
If anyone dares to go against the Jinyiwei, he will definitely be captured, and then the Donghai Prefecture will be finished.
After some discussion, the Qi Hai Gang quickly took action, immediately uniting many underworld forces and sending out a large number of assassins to assassinate the Ying pirates who invaded Donghai Prefecture.
These people all used the identities of coastal fishermen and claimed that they were seeking revenge for their dead relatives and friends. They did not use the name of the imperial court or even the name of the Qi Hai Gang.
Large numbers of Sakura Bandits were assassinated by the Qi Hai Gang and died in the coastal areas. The Sakura Bandit King was so angry that he sent people to the Jinyiwei to reprimand Cao Wenzhen's men and asked them to give an explanation.
It was clearly the Yingpi who invaded first, and were retaliated and resisted by the people of Donghai Prefecture, but now they blame the Daning Dynasty.
It is rare in the world to find someone so shameless.
No wonder even the usually calm Taiwei Cai Chaoan couldn't help but speak out. Compared with the barbarians such as the Mountain Barbarians and the Blood Barbarians, the natives of the Stinky Tribe are almost unacceptable. They are synonymous with fickleness, shamelessness, and repaying kindness with enmity. In the eyes of Qi Pinghai and others, these Yingpi can only be killed and made slaves. Many people even think that these natives of the Stinky Tribe are not even qualified to be slaves.
However, what puzzled Qi Haibang was that during the process of dealing with the Yingkou this time, the Jinyiwei actually relaxed their supervision on them a lot, far less than before.
After careful investigation, I heard that no major changes had occurred within the Jinyiwei, and Cao Wenzhen was still in power.
It was not until a man named Long Qian brought news that a part of the Jinyiwei was preparing to cooperate with the Yingkou to plunder a county town in Donghai Prefecture that the Qi Hai Gang realized that there were people in the court who were secretly helping them.
Although we don’t know which side Long Qian belongs to, the other party definitely has someone in the Jinyiwei, otherwise he would not tell them such confidential information.
With the information provided by Long Qian, Qi Haibang set a trap in time, which not only saved the county town, but also killed a large number of Yingkou clan, causing the Yingkou clan to lose many elite members.
The Sakura clan emperor was so angry that he directly issued an edict to scold Cao Wen Zheng and others, which made Cao Wen Zheng extremely confused.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to make amends to the Sakura Clan, and at the same time use the hundreds of thousands of people in this county to exchange for a large number of resources and treasures unique to the East China Sea.
After all, the common people of the Daning Dynasty are extremely popular among the Ying Clan, especially the women of the Daning Dynasty, who are even more sought after by the Ying Clan.
The reason is that most of the women of the Sakura tribe are short and dark, and they smell like pumpkin shells. Although the Sakura people are used to this smell, compared with the fragrance of the women of Daning, this smell seems a little unbearable.
To put it bluntly, even an old lady over 60 years old from Daning can be sought after by men of the Sakura tribe. This shows how popular women from Daning are among the Sakura tribe.
However, the men of the Sakura tribe only like the women of Daning, and are unwilling to let them have children, saying that they want to maintain the purity of the Sakura tribe's bloodline.
In fact, they are still afraid of being silently swallowed up by Daning's bloodline and eventually becoming a part of Daning. They also know clearly that the bloodline of the Sakura clan is much inferior to the bloodline of the people of Daning.
The patriarch of the Sakura tribe is called the Great Emperor, which means the Great Emperor, which means more powerful than the Emperor.
However, the entire Sakura tribe has a population of only over 100 million and is quite chaotic. Many Sakura generals like to occupy islands and become kings, and simply do not listen to the emperor's call.
Even the great emperor of the Sakura tribe only governs a population of about 40 million, which is only a fraction of the population of the Sakura tribe.
The rest are controlled by many generals. They will listen to the emperor if they are willing to, and not listen if they are not willing.
It mainly depends on whether the Great Emperor can bring benefits to them. If he can, they are his generals. If not, the Great Emperor is nothing.
For example, this time, after being ambushed by Qi Hai's gang and many generals suffered heavy losses, they immediately cursed the Sakura Clan Emperor and even clamored to conquer him and make him give an explanation to everyone.
The Sakura Clan Emperor was also somewhat overwhelmed, so he issued an edict, demanding Cao Wenzhen and others to give an explanation, otherwise he would expose the matter.
This made Cao Wenzhen, Zhao Jintian and others very angry. While trying to appease the natives of the Sakura tribe, they investigated what was going on.
It's been weird during this period of time. Why do they always encounter such things? Is there really a spy in their group? Otherwise, how could several key operations have been leaked?
