This is a hundred times better than His Majesty today.

He couldn't help but have such a rebellious thought in his mind, but suddenly he understood.

Although the soldiers risked their lives to follow the master, the master valued their lives and made sure they received equal rewards.

As a superior, she was trying her best to protect every soldier and also trying her best to support him as a general.

Your Majesty, on the other hand, does nothing and allows those corrupt officials to eat up the empty salaries, embezzle military pay, harm soldiers, and suppress and make things difficult for officials who really want to do practical and good things.

In today's world, it is really rare to find a superior like the master of the temple.

It is his luck to be able to follow the master.

No matter whether he has to go through mountains of swords or seas of fire in the future, he is willing to follow the master unswervingly!

"Thank you for your love and protection!" He knelt solemnly and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Master, I will follow you wholeheartedly from now on, until death!"

Chen Qingzhu was surprised.

She didn't expect that her unintentional action would cause Zheng Yuannai to suddenly express his loyalty to her so passionately.

Thinking of Zheng Yuannai's words "exhausted" when she first arrived in Songhu, she suddenly understood.

She just didn't want the army and generals she had carefully planned to suffer losses, but he was so moved that he immediately offered his full loyalty.

Looking at his look of admiration and gratitude, she felt extremely complicated for a moment.

Perhaps, she should make some appropriate changes to some of her plans.

When Fan Dayong came back, Zheng Yuannai had already made all preparations.

A total of 1,500 soldiers and 120 captured civilians were gathered, and five warships were prepared. After the oath of allegiance was taken, they set out for Glass Island.

When Fan Dayong learned that he had directly withdrawn three-quarters of the troops, he was somewhat dissatisfied.

"General, if we withdraw so many people, there will be too few coastal defense forces. If other Japanese pirates take advantage of the lack of troops in Songhu to come and plunder, wouldn't it be like falling into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Zheng Yuannai raised his lips and smiled:

"Uncle Yong, don't worry. I dare to do this because I have something to rely on!"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "This is the order of the God..."

He repeated what the abbot had said before, and Fan Dayong was surprised and delighted.

"Will the God provide protection for us while we are on the island?"

"That's right!"

"That's great!"

Fan Dayong clapped his hands excitedly.

Now is the perfect opportunity to land on the island and eradicate the Japanese pirates, and it certainly cannot be missed.

But those soldiers were not much different from the new recruits, while the Japanese pirates were extremely fierce, and they were not familiar with the terrain.

If there wasn't an absolute overwhelming number of people, he really wouldn't feel comfortable letting the young master lead the troops alone.

Now that there is a Divine Lord in charge in the rear, the young master can lead more than 1,600 people, which is more than four times the number of Japanese pirates. He feels much more confident.

After this great victory in the battle, the young master will have made great achievements that will attract worldwide attention, and his future will surely be limitless!

After being happy for a while, he asked about the arrangements for the four centurions.

Zheng Yuannai looked a little stern, but he said firmly:

"Kill them all!"

Fan Dayong was shocked:

"Captain Zhao has a close relationship with the Commander-in-Chief. Would it be too offensive to the Commander-in-Chief if we kill him directly?"

Zheng Yuannai said:

"If we report them to the commander-in-chief, they must be detained in the garrison. These people have deep roots in Songhu, and now they have committed the serious crime of colluding with the Japanese. Who knows what they will do when they are desperate?"

"It would be fine if they just escaped, but I'm afraid they will hold a grudge and take advantage of the lack of troops in Songhu to lead the servants in the mansion to continue colluding with the Japanese pirates to plunder, and then escape and become new Japanese pirates."

This was something Fan Dayong had never thought of before.

He had to admit that the young master's concerns were reasonable, but...

"But if we do this, executing first and reporting later will completely break off relations with the Commander-in-Chief."

Zheng Yuannai said firmly:

"Uncle Yong, there is no construction without destruction. If you are timid, you will never be able to change the plight of the military households."

Of course, the reason why he dared to make up his mind was mainly because he got the affirmation from the master of the temple.

That night, the abbot came to him and asked him how to deal with the four thousand households.

The temple master said that these people deserved to die and he could kill them if he wanted to.

Killing at a swearing-in ceremony can boost morale.

As for the fact that the commander-in-chief might hold a grudge and make things difficult for him in the future, there was no need to worry about it, as she would be able to resolve the issue herself.

With the master's words, he felt more confident.

As long as he put aside the concern of offending the commander-in-chief, he could fully exert his power to carry out a thorough reorganization of the army in Songhu and completely eradicate the unhealthy tendencies that were harming the military households.
