"There is such a strange thing! It sounds like a storytelling!"

Some people couldn't help but sigh.

The narrator is not convinced:

"What storytelling? These things were witnessed by the military households in Songhu Camp and the civilians who participated in the war! Everything I said is true. Just ask anyone and you will know!"

Seeing that his words were so convincing, many people believed him.

Some people, out of curiosity, actually asked the military households in the Songhu Camp and the civilians who participated in the war, and they all confirmed once again the existence of gods in this battle.

The name of Du'e Shenzun also began to spread among the people of Songhu.

People's yearning and interest in miracles are even greater than that of the Japanese pirates.

After dinner, at neighborhood or relative gatherings, there will always be someone who enthusiastically chats and brags about it to those who don't know about it, causing everyone to be amazed.

As a result, the deeds of the God of Du'e became more and more popular.

There were even some wealthy local fishermen who took the initiative to ask the military households in the Songhu camp about the appearance of the God of Du'e.

He funded the making of a golden clay statue of the god dressed in colorful robes and placed it in the Temple of Poseidon. He would worship with the Poseidon before going out to sea.

He prayed to the God of Du'e to protect him and help him avoid danger when he encountered storms and pirates at sea.

When the common people heard the news, they also went to worship and thank the God of Du'e for protecting Songhu and prayed that he would continue to protect Songhu from invasion by Japanese pirates.

Whenever talking about the God of Du'e, there is always praise for Zheng Yuannai, the Songhu Lieutenant General -

This really touched the God, causing Him to show up and help this good official!

Zheng Yuannai's reputation as a general who loves his soldiers like his own sons is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and widely spread.

Everyone was excited about the battle of Songhu to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

In addition to the Japanese pirates who were wiped out and the commander-in-chief of the Nandu City.

After all, the Japanese pirates had their lair raided and were either beheaded or sentenced to twenty or thirty years in prison, so they really couldn't be happy.

When Tan Song, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Capital, received Zheng Yuannai's letter, he was so angry that he started to curse:

"What an ungrateful brat! He really doesn't take me seriously!"

After the battle, Zheng Yuannai did not come to Nandu City to discuss it with him, but directly wrote a letter:

Thirty percent of the spoils obtained in this battle will be handed over to the court, thirty percent will be distributed among the civilians who participated in the war and the military households, and forty percent will be retained for military supplies.

Although the amount of property handed over was about 110,000 or 120,000 taels, it was considered a huge fortune.

However, the amount of spoils from the Battle of Shanghai was widely known, even to many foreign merchants. This time, the Japanese pirates were defeated and 390,000 taels of spoils were obtained.

This matter is very likely to reach the ears of political enemies, or even your Majesty.

If he dared to intercept these spoils, he might be accused by his political enemies of embezzling the spoils.

In other words.

Zheng Yuannai is such a bastard. He gained fame and fortune in this battle and made a fortune, but he didn't leave even a scum for his superior!

Tan Song was gritting his teeth in hatred and was thinking about how to teach Zheng Yuannai a painful lesson, when the mansion's chief steward brought him some bad news.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

"It's rumored everywhere in the city that the spy Zhao Qianhu, who is in collusion with the Japanese, has a daughter who is your concubine. It's also said that Zhao Qianhu comes to your house every year to give you gifts!"

Tan Song was suddenly shocked.

"It's spreading everywhere?"

"Yes, many teahouses and taverns are talking about this. I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it!"

Tan Song's eyes went dark immediately, and he finally managed to calm down and asked:

"What did those people say specifically?"

The butler gave him a detailed description of the situation outside.

Those people not only spread the news about the relationship between Zhao Qianhu and him, but also spread the cruel words Zhao Qianhu said before his death.

What is "The Commander-in-Chief will never let you go"?

"Zheng Yuan, you will die without a burial place"

It was told in vivid detail.

Many people were filled with righteous indignation, thinking that he must have colluded with Captain Zhao a long time ago, and would now surely take revenge and frame loyal officials!

Tan Song was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Damn it!

Before he could do anything, he was already labeled a corrupt official by the people as a traitor who committed corruption, abused his power, and framed loyal officials!
