Chapter 10, Just Do It
Furthermore, there is a group of local pirates, who are descendants of the victims encountered by the Qing soldiers during the massacre at Chaozhou Island.
Who is in charge in this case
The pirate leader said that it was evident they only respected the strong. Although Yang Feng had nearly killed Kang Mazi, it could still only be considered a rumor in the martial world; they could only believe what they had witnessed with their own eyes
Can Master Yang reveal his skills?
Yang Feng did not respond to him but directly spoke to Master Yi Nian.
He is Lü Yizhong, the son of Lü Liuliang, who was later beheaded by Yongzheng
Master, shall we get started now, or not
Upon his remark, everyone also came to realize.
A tall monk, who appeared to be of considerable age, shouted loudly
He is Huang Baijia, the son of Huang Zongxi, a renowned master of Neijiaquan. It is rumored in the martial arts community that he is one of the disciples of Gan Fengchi. At this time, the news of Yang Feng being severely injured by Kang Mazi finally reached Jiangnan. However, after a long journey of several thousand kilometers, multiple versions have emerged, including different names and appearances for Yang Feng. In the most exaggerated version, he has completely transformed into a monster with a green face and fangs, walking while riding on a black wind, killing indiscriminately in Beijing, causing rivers of blood to flow. In the end, Kang Mazi personally took to the battlefield, and after a fierce battle that darkened the sky and earth, finally...
Go, descend the mountain, and kill the Tartars
Huang Baijia pointed at Yang Feng and said
Yet within his heart, there surged a tumultuous wave, for at that moment, the golden dragon on his arm suddenly swelled. Originally coiled around his right forearm, its tail abruptly extended to his shoulder, and it seemed as if it were turning in its sleep, slightly twisting its body, especially as the dragon's mouth in his hand actually opened slightly.
Immediately, chaos ensued among the crowd. It was evident that the title of Zhu San Taizi was effective, as even Master Yinian expressed his support, shouting to endorse Zhu San Taizi, and then Yang Feng would serve as the national master
Yang Feng swiftly took down the Type 95 automatic rifle from his back, resting it on his shoulder as he searched for a target to intimidate this group of bumpkins. Of course, he could not resort to fists and kicks. Although he had recently gained strength and his agility had improved significantly compared to the past, there was still little hope of scaring these people. Moreover, as an immortal, how could he engage in swordplay like an ordinary person? An immortal should possess immortal means; it is fitting for his identity to take a life with a mere gesture, dressed in white as pure as snow.
It is evident that the other party is coming for them
This, alright!
Of course, if those honest fishermen were to come a little closer, they would be able to hear clearly what is being said
Damn it, there is a traitor among us
It is inappropriate. We certainly need to invite the Third Prince, but not at this moment. On the contrary, we should do our utmost to help him conceal his identity. The outcome of our endeavor is still uncertain; if we succeed, everything will be easy to discuss, but if we fail, wouldn't that implicate the Third Prince? His Majesty Chongzhen is left with this one bloodline; we cannot let him take risks alongside us. If we successfully establish ourselves and seize a sufficient territory, it will not be too late to invite him out then. The timing is not yet right.
Yang Feng said
Good, good, monk, you have accomplished what I have longed to do for a lifetime on my behalf, allow me to pay my respects first
In fact, after the fall of Taiwan, a large number of the former followers of the Zheng family descended south to become pirates. If these individuals could be subdued, they would indeed constitute a considerable force
The crowd immediately fell into chaos. Yang Feng then rushed to a high point, took out a telescope from his backpack, looked around, and then returned to Huang Baijia and Lü Yizhong, saying: "Brother Huang, Brother Lü, you must descend the mountain immediately without weapons and take a boat to escape westward. There are no Qing soldiers on that shore; it is estimated that only Dinghai County has received the secret report, while other places have not yet been informed. After you reach the shore, go directly home, settle your family, and then come back."
Master Yang, what do you wish to ask?
He certainly would not come without any preparation; in fact, he has been preparing for this entire month. These anti-Qing patriots are generally quite unreliable, full of enthusiasm but lacking in intellect. One must be well-prepared to associate with them.
In addition to him and some scholars influenced by the thoughts of Huang Zongxi, Lü Liuliang, and others, there is also a group of members from the Tiandihui, led by a man surnamed Chen, who is said to be a descendant of Chen Jinnan. According to him, he has also invited a group of remnants from the Zheng family, who are known to have been pirates operating around Guangdong. It is uncertain whether they received the message, but if they were to come, their strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. It is estimated that among them, there must be ancestors of Zheng Yisao's husband.

Yang Feng carried a black, oddly shaped object on his shoulder, which appeared neither entirely wooden nor entirely metallic. The front resembled a barrel of a bird gun, while the back was a box-like structure curving downward. The entire object exuded an air of mystery, and around his waist was a belt that held an additional four of these box-like items. Furthermore, he had a backpack that looked quite heavy, which he had been carrying since disembarking.
... ...
But just as the muzzle of his gun turned towards the direction of Dinghai, suddenly a dozen warships bearing the Qing army's flag appeared in his line of sight, making their way across the azure sea towards Peach Blossom Island, and he could even see the cannons mounted on the bows of the ships
He certainly cannot invite Old Zhu out; at this moment, Old Zhu would definitely refuse. As for what happens later, that can be discussed later. In any case, even if he were to be invited out, his own power would be basically secure. Old Zhu would merely serve as a figurehead. If he behaves himself, he can continue to be a figurehead; if he does not, he can learn from the Zhu family's ancestors. This is not a big deal.
Carrying a Type 95 automatic rifle and a large bag of grenades, Yang Feng walked along the mountain path dating back to 1700, all the way up to the Anqi Cave, where it is said that the immortals of the Qin Dynasty practiced alchemy. By this time, more than 300 people had already gathered here, including Confucian scholars, Daoists, monks, and laypeople, with quite a number of them appearing rather fierce and armed.
Finally, he was struck in the face by a blow of demonic fire from him
This is the Master of One Thought
He asked with a hint of curiosity
He suppressed the shock in his heart, restoring his normal expression as he began to speak to these people
Huang Baijia said with confusion
The monk Yinian, who had just been helped up by him, inquired.
A middle-aged man said
What Yang Xianchang did truly brought great joy to the people, but unfortunately, in the end, he was still unable to take the life of that barbarian emperor
Get it done
Weapons
Indeed, they are all engaged in this work with their heads stuck in their belts; once they fail, it would lead to the disaster of extermination of their families. Wouldn't that implicate the Third Prince? The descendants of Chongzhen would be left with only this one; not to mention the males, even the females have all perished.
Chen Xiangzhu said
Indeed, this barbaric emperor cannot be easily killed; he must be executed in a brutal manner to console the millions of common people who perished during the Jia Shen national calamity of our Great Ming dynasty
Yang Feng casually remarked
I know where Zhu San Taizi is, let us go invite him to come out of the mountains and become our leader
This is not good, we have been exposed
In fact, this area is a heavily affected zone from the Qing army's massacres, including Suzhou, Jiading, Jiaxing, Kunshan, Haining, and Zhoushan, all within this relatively small region. Zhoushan alone experienced two massacres. Additionally, this place served as the last stronghold of the forces under the Duke of Lu, and it was the main battlefield of the Battle of Zhoushan. There are indeed many who harbor deep-seated grievances against the Manchus, but over the years, these memories have been buried deep within. Now, when recalling those times, everyone grits their teeth in anger, and many, filled with emotion, wish they could immediately take revenge on Kangxi.
It is reversed
The monk Yi Nian shouted
"Master Yang, what is the matter?"
A middle-aged man said excitedly
Certainly, such a significant matter as rebellion cannot be approached hastily; it is essential to devise a plan through discussion. Additionally, it is crucial to select a leader, as this issue is of great importance
One month later, Peach Blossom Island
In fact, this small island has been regarded as a scenic spot since the Song Dynasty, often attracting many literati and scholars who come to visit. Although the number of visitors this time is somewhat larger, it is not surprising.
The monk Yinian shouted
Yang Feng spoke sincerely
Yang Feng is now utterly infatuated with this monk
Yang Feng waved his hand grandly and shouted
Since that is the case, Lu Yizhong felt it was inappropriate to ask further, as he certainly would not understand even if the celestial weapon was explained to him.
He shouted immediately
Master Yang, what is it that you are carrying on your back
Which one is Master Yang?
The old monk immediately knelt down before Yang Feng, and at the same time, dozens of people behind him also knelt down. Yang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to assist him. At this moment, others also came forward, some excitedly cupping their hands in salute, while others imitated the old monk by kneeling down, leaving Yang Feng in a flustered state. However, at that moment, his expression suddenly changed.
Yang Feng said
It is nothing, esteemed master and everyone, please rise. I am merely doing what is necessary.
Kill the Tartars
There is no need to say more, it is Master Yang! Master Yang is a disciple of the immortals and undoubtedly knows more than we do. Since we cannot summon the Third Prince for the time being, it is only natural for Master Yang to take the lead.
Two scholars dressed in long gowns, shaking their folding fans, are walking up the mountain together with a strangely dressed individual, engaging in lively discussions as they walk. They are said to be students from a poetry society, each of whom holds a degree. They have chosen Anqi Peak to hold their poetry gathering, and in recent days, many people have come, even bringing large numbers of servants, totaling several hundred.
The old monk drew out a knife and shouted
A fisherman mending his net by the seaside gazes respectfully into the distance
Immediately following was a chorus of shouts, especially from the pirates and the Tiandihui, each brandishing their weapons.
This old monk is a former subordinate of King Lu. After the Battle of Zhoushan, he sought refuge in a temple to avoid danger, but for many years he has been looking for an opportunity to raise an army. He is also a martial arts master and has had considerable interactions with Huang Baijia. Knowing his intentions, Huang Baijia invited him through letters. Coincidentally, news of Yang Feng's deeds had also spread to Jiangnan, prompting him to immediately bring dozens of subordinates to join. Originally, in history, he planned to raise an army a few years later to seize Taicang, but he was defeated and killed.
Another younger individual remarked
I believe that my great ancestor, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, in the afterlife would not want to let him off so easily. In the future, when we march north to sweep through the Central Plains and eliminate the barbarian filth, we shall justly execute him before the tomb of the Emperor.
Damn, I just like your temperament. Damn it, now it's turned around. Who would want to follow Yang Xianchang to kill the Tartars?
