The Jiang Family's Little Girl Has Magic Powers

Chapter 143

When Master Shen saw Doctor Qiu's extreme reaction, he immediately realized that the contents of the bottle must be something good. He then asked, "What is this?"

Jiang Yuqing solemnly said, "It is a drop of spiritual milk that can extend one's life by ten years!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunian's mouth widened in disbelief.

Jiang Yuqing said, "This treasure was accidentally refined by me. There are a total of eight drops. My four elders at home and my master have each taken one drop, and two drops were offered to His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress. This remaining drop is here!"

"If you lend the treasure ships, it will be yours!"

Doctor Qiu jumped up and down trying to snatch it back, but Shen Yunian was quicker. He grabbed it and stuffed it into his bosom.

Doctor Qiu immediately stamped his feet anxiously, "Dear treasure cannot be given away. If you give it away, you will have none left for yourself!"

Jiang Yuqing said, "It matters not. After all, I am still young and have a few decades left to live!"

Shen Yunian clutched the bottle, trembling with excitement.

He had already passed his allotted years and his health had deteriorated over the last two years. Every year he had to spend large sums of money on all kinds of expensive health tonics to maintain himself.

Now that he had obtained this life-extending treasure that could prolong his life by ten years, let alone lending a few ships, even if he had to take out half of his family possessions to buy it, he would be willing.

He had not enjoyed the riches and honor of this world enough yet!

"Lend, lend, lend. In addition to these five ships, I have two new ships under construction in the shipyard that have not been moved back yet. I will lend them all to you."

Jiang Yuqing was overjoyed and immediately bowed to Shen Yunian, "Jiang Yuqing, on behalf of the warriors of the Navy Camps, thank you Master Shen for your great kindness!"

To avoid long nights and wild dreams, Shen Yunian immediately called his son over to draw up a ship lending contract, which both parties signed and stamped their seals on, rejoicing greatly.

Afterwards, Shen Yunian also held a luncheon to entertain the master and disciple, and asked them to stay in his residence.

That night, Shen Yunian swallowed the spiritual milk into his stomach. The next morning when he got up, the little servant who was waiting on him cried out in surprise, "Master, your hair has turned black!"

Shen Yunian hurriedly asked someone to bring a mirror. He saw that his originally white hair had actually turned half black overnight. He immediately burst out laughing heartily.

Last night when he ate it, he still wondered whether this stuff worked. He did not expect that after just one night, it would bring him such a huge surprise.

He quickly took out the jade bottle that contained the spiritual milk, added some clear water, and drank it all down in one gulp after sipping it slowly.

Then he happily ran out of the yard to find Doctor Qiu.

Because of this matter, Master Shen was thoroughly convinced of the master and disciple.

He also returned the plaque to Jiang Yuqing and instructed his son, "From now on, no matter what the Princess or Doctor Qiu wants to borrow in the future, do not be stingy."

After comprehensively considering the situations of the various Navy Camps, Jiang Yuqing allocated the seven treasure ships as follows:

Jian Mountain Camp originally had three large treasure ships, so Jiang Yuqing gave them one more. Zhong Mountain Camp was given two ships. The remaining four ships were all given to Yashan Camp.

This was because Yashan Camp was established the latest and was also the poorest, without a single large treasure ship.

When the various camps received Jiang Yuqing’s carrier pigeon messages asking them to go to the city to collect the ships, they were all overjoyed.

Especially the main general of Yashan Camp, Feng Zhan, could hardly believe his eyes when he received the news.

It just so happened that his deputy came to discuss matters with him. Seeing Feng Zhan’s silly appearance, the deputy thought he was possessed.

Yet Feng Zhan even said to the deputy, "Madman Liu, slap me and see if I'm dreaming."

This deputy surnamed Liu was also a forthright man. He immediately swung his gigantic palm and gave a resounding slap. The crisp sound could be heard as Feng Zhan's face was slapped crooked.

He angrily roared, "Madman Liu, you bastard! I told you to give me a slap, not slap me so hard. You’ve made me loosen a tooth!"

Deputy Liu was shocked and stammered, "I thought you were possessed!"

Feng Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "You're the one possessed! I’m just too damn happy. Four treasure ships! Hahaha!"

Deputy Liu said, "What four treasure ships, don't just laugh by yourself. Explain it clearly to me."

Feng Zhan guffawed loudly: "It was the Princess. She borrowed seven large treasure ships from the Shen family in the city and gave Yashan Camp four ships. The message says for us to go to the city dock to collect them!"

Deputy Liu’s eyes immediately bulged wide like bronze bells: "Are you speaking the truth?"

Feng Zhan stuffed the note to him: "How can it be fake? Here, see for yourself!”

After reading it, Deputy Liu also laughed wildly, "General, I am willing to lead people to fetch the treasure ships!"

Feng Zhan chuckled, "Go on then. Be quick to set off and quick to return, it’s a bargain for you."

When the message spread, the whole camp burst into cheers.

After leaving the Shen residence, the master and disciple went to Jian Mountain Camp, where they naturally received a warm welcome from all the garrison troops again. Let’s not talk about the master and disciple’s own extraordinary abilities for now. Just the fact that they had managed to borrow seven large treasure ships for their comrades in the Navy even before arriving was another impressive feat. Soldiers admire capable people.

The master and disciple stayed in Jian Mountain Camp for over half a month. Just as they were about to leave Fuzhou, they received another carrier pigeon message from Jiang Yuqing's big brother Jiang Yujiang. Jiang Yuqing missed her uncle's wife so she returned to the Yashan county government with Doctor Qiu.

Not having seen her for a year, Madam Lin predictably hugged Jiang Yuqing tightly for a lingering hug and kiss the moment they met.

Then on the night the master and disciple returned to Yashan county government, Jiang Yuqing was suddenly awoken by the blaring sound of gongs: "Bad news, the Japanese pirates have landed. Japanese pirates have landed again!"

Jiang Yuqing was shocked. She jumped down from bed, put on her shoes and rushed out.

As she opened her room door, she bumped right into Doctor Qiu who had also come to find her.

Thanks to the tacit understanding built up between the master and disciple over many years, no words needed to be exchanged to know what the other wanted to do at this moment.

Jiang Yuqing asked the servants to explain to Jiang Yujiang, then hurriedly dashed out of the county government gate with Doctor Qiu.

Under the cover of darkness, they casually found a corner to paste invisibility talismans on themselves, then flew to the Navy Camp in less than ten minutes.

They arrived just in time to meet the fully armed and outfitted Navy troops. After asking around, they found out that this time, the Japanese pirates had landed at a remote small fishing village called Niluo Bay in Yashan County.

Scouts reported that the Japanese pirates came in seven treasure ships, with 1,000 men on each ship, meaning at least 7,000 - 8,000 pirates were involved in this invasion.

After landing, they marched straight into Yashan county in a looting spree, moving very swiftly.

Feng Zhan decisively split the 30,000 troops into two groups. One group rode on horses to intercept and engage the Japanese pirates ashore, while the other group boarded the treasure ships to lie in ambush to block the pirates' ships from escaping by sea.

As Doctor Qiu was not good with water, for safety reasons Jiang Yuqing asked him to follow the horseback unit ashore. She took another group of military medics herself and boarded the ships.

Niluo Bay is a shallow bay. The seven pirate ships were anchored far away from shore. They dispatched small boats to land and raid the area.

According to the scouts’ reports, about 6,000 pirates had landed, with another 1,000 plus remaining on board the ships as backup and pick up crew. Previously, the troops were miserable for lack of treasure ships to stop the pirates from fleeing unrestrainedly.

Now, with the four borrowed treasure ships plus some medium-sized boats, Feng Zhan was full of confidence. He loudly cursed, "Little Japanese bandits, if I don’t hack off one of your arms or legs today, I’ll swear fealty to you! Sons of turtles, damn Jap pirates!"

The Japanese pirates staying behind to guard the ships never expected the Yashan Navy to suddenly have so many large ships. They paled with fright.

They had chosen to attack Yashan exactly because the naval forces here lacked large ships. As long as they landed and finished looting, these Han sailors would only be able to stare helplessly as they sailed off unhindered. But what the hell, where did all these big ships come from?

Wanting to flee now, but with most of their men already landed ashore, if they abandoned them and sailed away, how would those on land fare? They could only try to resist while sending small boats to notify their grounded crew to quickly retreat to the ships.

But before they even touched seawater, the boats were riddled with holes by the rapid volleys of heavy repeating crossbows.

Feng Zhan was not about to give the Japanese pirates a chance to escape after all these years of being hounded by them. He harbored deep anger and resentment, determined to regain this time.

Therefore, as soon as the ships closed in, a rain of arrows immediately shot out from the Han side. Even heavy repeating crossbows were utilized. Suffering heavy casualties from the first exchange, the Japanese pirates died in swathes.

Feng Zhan then ordered to throw grappling hooks to reel the Japanese ships closer and forcibly boarded them.

To maximize their haul, the pirates had left only around 200 men on each ship. Having already lost half of that number to the arrow barrage, how could they withstand the sheer manpower of the Han side?

Because it did not take long, four of the ships were successfully boarded by Daxia's soldiers. The pirates on the ships were also completely killed, and their corpses were directly thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

The other three large ships were also in dire straits under the fierce attack of Daxia's several medium and small ships.

Seeing that they were no match, and not caring about much else, they immediately unmoored, wanting to escape.

Could Feng Zhan let the meat that had reached his lips get away? Of course not! He immediately ordered the fleet, including the four captured treasure ships, to chase after them.

In just over half a double hour, the remaining three ships were also captured, and the defenders on the ships were completely annihilated.

The generals did not have time to cheer before they lowered the small boats again and rowed to the shore to collect all the small boats the pirates had left on the shore and hide them in a concealed place.

They then set up an ambush on the shore, ready to take the enemy by surprise, and be sure to send all these pirates into the sea to feed the fish.

They waited until the next morning, when a scout ran back panting and said that the remaining pirates on land had been driven to the seaside by General Liu.

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhan immediately ordered his men to prepare for battle.

Half a double hour later, when the remaining three thousand remnants arrived at the seaside, thinking they could escape,

they were met head-on with a dense rain of arrows, which felled a third of them in just one volley.

The pirates were shocked and turned pale. Only then did they realize that the place where the small boats were originally docked was completely empty, and the sea surface was also empty, with no trace of the seven treasure ships.

Only then did they understand that they had been trapped.

The pirates may have been very capable at sea, and still stood a chance against a few unarmed civilians on land.

But against the well-trained soldiers of the division, they could only be crushed.

Daxia's two contingents joined forces and resolved the battle in just over half a double hour. The blood spilled by the pirates turned half the bay red.

Thus, Daxia annihilated the invading enemy!

The cheers erupted by the soldiers reverberated throughout the entire bay.

Hearing the joyful sounds, the villagers of Niluo Bay ran out from their hiding places one after another. When they learned that the pirates had been annihilated, they both cried and laughed.

They cried because their houses were burned down and their belongings were looted. They laughed because their enemies were dead!

Jiang Yuqing was in the concealed tent operating on injured soldiers. Hearing this earth-shattering cheer, he also smiled involuntarily.

Feng Zhan went even further by having the pirates’ corpses beheaded and their skulls piled up on the muddy beach as a “warning”.

Later, he ordered a large ship to collect the remaining pirate corpses and take them out to sea to dump them into the deep sea.

They were unworthy of burial on Daxia's land, which would be an insult to this land.

As soon as these corpses entered the sea, the blood attracted a large number of sharks. The bloody scene simply could not be described in words.

After finishing the treatment, Jiang Yuqing also went to see the “warning”. His expression was indifferent throughout, without the slightest pity.

Compared to what they had done to Daxia’s people, such a death was far too lenient for them.

This despicable and shameless pygmy tribe did not deserve the forgiveness of the people of the Central Plains, neither in this life nor in her previous life.
