Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

Jiang Han was frantically performing sacrificial recycling on the electronic map, like a hard-working hamster.

"No need to pursue. Our mission is to delay time. As long as we can cover the rescue team and evacuate to a safe distance, we can leave here and return to the commander."

M4 looked at everything in front of him indifferently, the ruins of buildings, the body parts scattered all over the ground, the air filled with smoke and the smell of roasted meat and animal fibers, no matter how many times he had seen it, the scene before him was unacceptable.

This is a living hell, a slaughterhouse left over from a modern massacre.

"After we dispose of these corpses, we should be able to prevent some of the plague from spreading... although the plague will still be there for a while."

Jiang Han felt a little tired. The sufferings that the Chinese land was facing at that time were one after another. Natural disasters and man-made calamities occurred one after another, making Jiang Han deeply anxious. Those lying on the ground in front of him were not only the Qing army, but also a large number of Jinan city residents. They were inexplicably trapped in this war millstone and then ground into the charred corpses lying on the ground.

I might have a chance to save them, maybe they don't have to die. If I can be stronger, stronger... then is there any other solution today? Can I not have to endure like this, but leave all those damn invaders here...

Can he really save this precarious China? After all this, how many of these poor people can survive?

Jiang Han had no answer, he could only take one step at a time.

"Don't sigh, Commander"

The sound of M4 came to my ears.

"You have tried your best to do your best, so don't sigh, because someone has to do these things. Isn't that what you told us?"

"Do your best, shine your light, get rid of the cold air, just keep moving forward. If there is no candlelight in the future, I will be the only light. That's what you said."

“Actually, I plagiarized that…”

Mr. Zhou's words cannot become his own. Jiang Han is self-aware of this and he weakly wants to point this out.

"I have always believed this, Commander. I believe that you will lead Griffin to a better future. I believe that your ideal is to save this world that is constantly collapsing. I believe in everything we are doing now. So, Commander, don't sigh, raise your head. You are the best commander of Griffin. I have always believed this, and everyone has always believed this."

The little princess's once soft and weak voice is now firm and full of faith, which makes people feel relieved just by listening to it. This little girl who has always doubted herself has successfully grown into a commander who can stand on her own. So what about herself?

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I'm being hypocritical. Sorry. In order to really save the world, let's go a little crazier. Are you willing to come?"

"Since you've done something crazy like declaring war on the military, I wouldn't be surprised if you did something else out of the ordinary."

45’s complaints are always so sharp.

"But it feels good, I'll follow it."

"Of course I support you unconditionally, Commander!"

NTW naturally had no objection.

"Commander, are you asking, will something more interesting happen next? I'll wait and see."

"What? What chicken wings?"

"Sup, it's not the chicken wings, it's the meaning!"

"Ah! So that's what you mean. Then when can we eat chicken wings? Commander, I'm a little hungry..."

Listening to the girls' conversations on the channel, Jiang Han's confusion turned into warmth: "Eat. When M4 and the others come back, you can eat whatever you want!"

"Great!!"

Volume 160: Chapter Chapter : Dark Clouds

Yangzhou City, Main Street.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there are many customs, such as worshiping the God of Wealth and returning to one's parents' home. On this day, a married daughter will bring her husband back to her parents' home to visit her parents. Because in ancient times, after a woman got married, she belonged to another family, and the opportunity to return to her parents' home to see them was basically only once a year, so she cherished it especially.

Well, when you go to your mother's house, you can't go empty-handed, so all the snacks and gifts from the neighbors are opened to welcome guests. It is said that the times are difficult, but the New Year still has to be celebrated. After all, the economic situation in Yangzhou is actually quite wealthy.

Several flag officers of the Jinyiwei walked on the street, looking at the people coming and going: "It is worthy of being called the fireworks in March in Yangzhou, it is just a little different from other places"

Along the way, the cities they passed by were far inferior to the current area.

"Don't look at it anymore. Hurry up and find the Jiang Family Manor. According to our investigation, the three flag officers disappeared there."

In the middle of the group, a man wearing a bright red flying fish suit and wearing a gold-embroidered spring sword on his waist opened his mouth and spoke.

Just by looking at the clothes, you can tell their identity. The Feiyu uniform and Xiuchun sword of the Jinyiwei are not standard equipment. Ordinary Jinyiwei only have an ordinary uniform and a sword. If you want the Xiuchun sword and Feiyu uniform, you have to have made great contributions and at least be a thousand households, or it has to be specially bestowed by the emperor.

A Xiuchun sword can be passed down in a family for several generations, which shows how precious this thing is.

The Flying Fish Dragon Robe and the Embroidered Spring Sword represent the face of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The color of the Flying Fish Robe is also extremely bright. Once you stand on the street, you will be the focus of attention. Anyone who can wear these two items is not a simple character.

"Brother, if he is really missing there, it would be difficult for us to catch him. I heard that the guard of the owner of Jiang Family Manor killed more than a dozen martial arts masters by himself. The news has spread all over the streets."

"I've told you so many times, you have to call me Master Qianhu when you're outside."

Lu Guangyuan corrected helplessly.

"But, brother, isn't it just your first day as a thousand households?"

"Today is the second day!"

"Ah, OK, OK, sir, I feel that if we enter the Zhang family's manor with only a few people, and if the other party is really the thief who killed those foreigners, we will be in great danger."

"So what should we do, according to you?"

"According to me? According to me, go to the guard post in Yangzhou City first, use your position as a captain to mobilize a hundred of his men, and then lead them to attack the village. He has extraordinary abilities, can he beat a hundred people by himself?"

When the others heard this, it seemed to make sense. Normally, it would only take a few dozen people to raid the homes of important officials in the imperial court. It was just a small village, so a hundred people should be enough.

"No, we, the Jinyiwei, work for the emperor. Our every word and action represents the emperor's reputation. Even if we want to arrest someone, we must first find out the situation before taking action. The situation of the Jinyiwei is no longer the same as before. We can't act so capriciously."

Lu Guangyuan rejected his subordinates' suggestion calmly: "We should investigate first. He is just a commoner. With so many subordinates and his property in Yangzhou, he dare not go against the court. Let's meet the owner of the manor first and then make plans."

"Okay, you are the chief officer, you have the final say."

"Well, since everyone has no objection, let's go."

At the same time, in the palace, **.

"What? Missing??"

When Wang's father heard the news, the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"That's true. It seems that the three Jinyiwei never came out after entering the manor. Fortunately, they didn't inform anyone before leaving. They decided to go to the manor on a whim, otherwise the Jinyiwei would have come to investigate. Now the matter has alarmed the higher-ups. Nanjing has specially sent Lu Qianhu to investigate the matter. I'm afraid that the young master's friend is in danger..."

Lord Wang half listened and half guessed at the servant's report, and restored the full picture of the incident in his mind.

"How could this happen... How could this happen? When the Jinyiwei came to our house, ordinary people would avoid them for fear of getting into trouble. Originally, I just wanted to give them a beating and then ask Danger to help them out. But, how could this happen? How could this happen...?"

The other party has already set up his stall. With such a huge investment, he can sell his products all over the country as soon as the right time comes. This kind of useful stove will be used by everyone in the Ming Dynasty. By then, it will be more than just making a fortune for him.

It's just a little criticism, just be patient. A man's lack of patience can ruin a great plan. How can this be, how can this be...?

If this Jinyiwei was really killed by that man, then he had no other choice but to rebel... How could there be such a person?

For someone like Lord Wang, this kind of behavior of overturning the table without saying a word is really too outrageous and beyond common sense. We are all on the chessboard, and it is normal for me to take one of your horse's legs or one of your rooks. If you want to get things done, you have to adapt to such rules.

But who would just come up and overturn the chessboard and stop playing with you? How can he sell his goods? Does he not want his business anymore?

No, now is not the time to be shocked. The news that has reached here means that the captain of the Jinyiwei has arrived in Yangzhou. I must hurry to inform my son and take over the boy's property to stop the loss in time.

Otherwise, when the Jinyiwei arrests that guy and beheads him, who knows who will benefit from this huge fortune.

"What a... jerk!"

Lord Wang was so angry that he almost died. He was not angry about Jiang Han's safety, but that Jiang Han actually did not take his own property seriously at all. Deep down, he had regarded Jiang Han's farm and Jiang Han's boiler factory as his own things, and was extremely angry at the other party's behavior of not taking care of his things.

"Quick, go and call the young master!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Wang Dang, who was in his room, came to him and asked, "Father, are you looking for me?"

"Son, please sit down first. Your father wants to tell you something."

Lord Wang sat in the first seat. He had already thought of how to respond to his naive son. Looking at Wang Dang sitting obediently in a chair beside him, Lord Wang spoke slowly.

"I know this may be hard to accept and hard to believe, but I just learned a piece of news. Your best friend may have become a traitor and betrayed the country."

"Ah? Father, what did you say? I don't quite understand."

Wang Dang thought he had heard wrongly.

"No, you heard it right. It's your brother Jiang whom you always mention. I just got the news that three Jinyiwei entered his manor to investigate a case a few days ago and never came out again. This is a very serious matter. Killing an official of the imperial court, especially Jinyiwei, is of a heinous nature. Nanjing has sent Qianhu Lu Guangyuan to investigate and he will be executed soon."

"what!!!"

Wang Dang couldn't believe his ears.

"It's true, my son. Therefore, your father hopes that you will hurry back to Yangzhou and take over your friend's property. Let us inherit his legacy and restore the glory of the Ming Dynasty!"

Volume 161: Chapter Chapter : Jinyiwei Arrives

Snapped!

The dry branches on the ground were crushed by the horses' hooves and rolled to the side of the road. A carriage was galloping on the road at a rapid speed.

"Driver, hurry up, hurry up!"

Wang Dang was extremely anxious. Even at this speed, he was still not satisfied and kept urging the driver to move faster.

After hearing the news from his father, Wang Dang was completely dumbfounded. Why? He was only away for a few days, why did such a big thing suddenly happen?

Isn't Brother Jiang devoted to the country and the well-being of the people of Ming Dynasty? Why did he suddenly rebel? Why did the Jinyiwei investigate the case and go to Jiang's manor?

There are too many doubts buried in his heart, which is actually normal, because the person he gets his information from, his most trusted father, is playing tricks on him.

When communicating with Wang Dang, Lord Wang completely concealed the fact that he was the one who led these Jinyiwei there and his true purpose. He only told Wang Dang some false facts without knowing the beginning or the end. The information Wang Dang received was incomplete, so it was naturally impossible for him to piece together the full picture of the incident.

He is extremely anxious now. What is he anxious about?

What is worrying is that if the current Jinyiwei were to confront his brother Jiang, there would probably be no trace of him left.

To be honest, Wang Dang has seen men who are good at marrying wives, but he has never seen anyone as good as Brother Jiang in marrying wives. His wives are all gifted with special skills.

Let's not talk about his wife who was over nine feet tall and who single-handedly wiped out a bandit camp of 60 people and escaped unscathed. The other few were no pushovers either. He had also heard about how several gangsters in the city tried to assassinate Brother Jiang but were all killed in one fell swoop.

You have to know, those Jianghu people, which one of them is not a murderer, which one of them is not on the hands of several lives, ordinary people can't get close to them? If they didn't have some skills, they would have been arrested and put in jail to learn the truth.

According to rumors in the martial arts world, such a person was killed by one person. Such a person can be compared to the ancient evil.

If he only had martial arts skills, it would be fine, as there are countless martial artists in the world. However, on the battlefield, they would be quickly killed. What Wang Dang was really worried about was his best friend and his brain.

Jiang Han's brain is almost the best among all the people Wang Dang has ever met. He has endless wonderful ideas in his mind, and he can see straight to the point about the affairs of the court. His long-term vision is not limited to one state or one place. His layout is so grand that he uses the entire Ming Dynasty as a chessboard. If such a person really wants to rebel, he will be the enemy that the Ming Dynasty least wants to face.

For the Ming Dynasty, which is now on the verge of collapse and its country is in danger, such an enemy is an unbearable burden for the country. Therefore, even if there is only a little bit of hope, Wang Dang does not want things to develop into the situation he imagined in the end.

Looking at the mountains approaching in front of him, Wang Dang murmured: "Brother Jiang, please don't do anything stupid..."

In Jiangjiazhuang, the meeting hall.

"So, the candidates for the reception team sent out this time have been decided, right? Do you have a rule about who will lead the team?"

Jiang Han sat in the hall to listen to the report on receiving the refugee team from Jinan. He was running back and forth now and was really busy, so he was also intentionally training his subordinates' ability to do things.

"The boss has already been decided. Manager Li is mature and steady, and he works meticulously. Receiving refugees is a big deal, and there are many things to do. With his meticulousness, he will definitely be able to control the overall situation. Secondly, this trip is a long way to go, and now there are bandits rampant outside, so we need Captain Shen to lead the team to coordinate defense, just in case. In addition, the young man who answered the riddles at the lantern riddle meeting a few days ago came to the door and said that he wanted to do his part for the boss."

"Okay, let's do this. As for the young man, let him lead the team to pick up the refugees. Since he wants to do something, he should get some practice."

Jiang Han nodded. He was seriously short of manpower. Now Han Jijiu came, but he didn't know what his ability was. Let him do one thing first and then consider what position to give him.

"Young people have just joined our team, so you old people should guide them more and convey our leading spirit to them. If the spirit is right, the ability can be maximized. If the spirit is wrong, the stronger the ability, the more reactionary it is. Everyone needs to remember this."

Jiang Han gently reminded them that the purity of the team was very important and he attached great importance to this.

"Yes, sir, in that case, we will go and do our work first."

"Okay, go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant ran into the hall and said, "Boss, Boss, something bad has happened. The Jinyiwei are here again. This time, a large group of them came and asked to see you, Boss!"

"Huh? This..."

A group of stewards were horrified. They were undoubtedly aware of what Jiang Han had done before. Now that the Jinyiwei came to the door, naturally no one would think that he was going back to his mother's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year. This time, disaster has come! !

"It's okay, everyone, go do your own things first. I have my own plan for this matter, and it will be fine."

Jiang Han spoke calmly to comfort the managers.

"But... Boss, you don't have any guards around you, and we are afraid..."

"What is there to be afraid of? Commander, I am all you need! No matter how many people come, they will never be able to hurt you!"

A charming voice sounded, and Jiang Han could only smile bitterly at the arrogant and possessive words.

"Don't worry, there's really no danger, just trust me."
