Chapter 6259: Coast Guard
They could afford to raise them; the only difficult part was detaining them.
Scarred Xuan arranged for a mountain cave to detain these people.
He had fifty axe-wielding guards watching over them, with iron bars for separation, which gave Jian Wushuang peace of mind.
He had been busy until dawn, without a moment of rest.
Early in the morning, at the entrance of the market, he gathered all the townsfolk of Shajia Town to witness an execution.
Who were they beheading?
Chen Mazi!
Wang Xian!
One was a head constable, and the other was a local tyrant of Shajia Town.
Both had oppressed the people of Shajia Town frequently.
When they suddenly heard about the execution, they could hardly believe it.
They all came to watch.
When they saw who was being executed, they were not surprised at all.
Sitting behind the long table on the high platform, the overseer was Iron-Face Liang Chen. At this moment, his eyes were filled with both excitement and unease.
Jian Wushuang stood behind him, his hands behind his back, and whispered, Brother Liang Chen, you are doing a great service by eliminating these scoundrels. You should be happier!
Happy? Liang Chen frowned and shook his head, saying, I really dont know who should be happy!
He knew what Jian Wushuang was trying to do.
It was nothing more than using his reputation to stabilize Shajia Town.
He indeed gained a good reputation, but what about Jian Wushuang?
He gained control over the entire Shajia Town.
This bandit was becoming more and more unpredictable, and his emerging ambition was somewhat frightening.
What, regretting it? Jian Wushuang asked indifferently, If youre scared, you can leave anytime. I can personally handle these two tyrants and still control the entire Shajia Town. As for your reputation, Iron-Face Liang Chen, it might be ruined in the future. But dont worry, I wont kill you. You can go to Qingshan Town and continue being a constable. You might even become a head constable with your connections!
Iron-Face Liang Chens face twitched. He felt cornered.
He couldnt leave.
Leaving would betray his aspirations.
Not leaving meant privately killing a head constable, which was a serious crime.
And mingling with bandits like Jian Wushuang to kill a head constable would completely bind him to Jian Wushuangs ship.
According to what Jian Wushuang said, if he left now, it wouldnt be a big deal, at most arousing some suspicion.
But his reputation would be lost.
It wasnt that he valued his reputation, but it would go against his aspirations.
He was unwilling.
So sitting there felt like sitting on pins and needles.
There were many things he wanted to say but couldnt.
Seeing his expression, Jian Wushuang couldnt help but laugh.
Dont worry, Ill handle the dirty work. You just need to watch. From now on, you will be in charge of the security of Shajia Town, and I wont interfere. I wont protect anyone either. You can do whatever you need to!
Patting Liang Chen on the shoulder, Jian Wushuang walked up the high platform.
Chen Mazi and Head Constable Wang Xian were tied up.
Their mouths were stuffed with rags.
Jian Wushuang walked up, holding a cold steel knife.
He didnt rush to take action. He patted Chen Mazis big head, looked at the townsfolk below the platform, and spoke eloquently.
First, he introduced himself briefly.
He was not rebelling but acting in accordance with the will of heaven.
The court was now corrupt, with bullies and corrupt officials colluding.
The court did not care, so he would.
However, he made Iron-Face Liang Chen the leader.
Initially, everyone had faces full of fear or confusion, but when they heard that Iron-Face Liang Chen was the mastermind, they excitedly jumped up.
Of course, most of these people were planted by Jian Wushuang to stir up the atmosphere. Some even took the opportunity to shout, Kill the bullies, eliminate the corrupt officials! The atmosphere reached a climax.
When the time was ripe, Jian Wushuang raised his steel knife and swiftly dealt with the two bullies and corrupt officials who had been entrenched in Shajia Town for decades.
From today onwards, the yamen of Shajia Town will be headed by Iron-Face Liang Chen. Shajiakou will no longer have bullies, only the Coastal Guard Army!
The crowd cheered once again.
Jian Wushuang was very satisfied and casually tossed the steel knife to Xiang Yang, walking towards Iron-Face Liang Chen, who had carried out the executions.
Brother Liang Chen, at a time like this, wouldnt you say a few words?
Another wave of cheers erupted below.
The will of the people was clear.
Iron-Face Liang Chen, though somewhat awkward, was very happy to have gotten rid of the two bullies. However, he feared Jian Wushuang might become the next Chen Mazi.
But when he heard about the Coastal Guard Army, his worries were dispelled. He had attended
private school and was knowledgeable about history.
He knew what kind of person Jian Wushuang was.
He wouldnt just fixate on Shajia Town.
Without any more concerns, he accepted everything and even made a promise to all the
people of Shajia Town that he would serve them diligently.
Jian Wushuang stood at the back, watching all this.
Unbeknownst to them, Shajia Town had already fallen into his hands.
With Iron-Face Liang Chen as his guarantor, the peoples trust in him would greatly increase,
allowing him to gradually implement his subsequent plans.
The words he once spoke at the wine table were no longer just empty boasts.
After stabilizing Shajia Town, Jian Wushuang began to make significant moves at Shajiakou.
All merchant ships coming from upstream were intercepted.
Both people and goods were taken away.
He even openly displayed some of the smuggled military supplies.
Iron-Face Liang Chen hated this the most.
So he personally took the military supplies to the market in Shajia Town for display.
He denounced the incompetence of the court and the cunning of the corrupt officials.
This made him admire Jian Wushuang more and more, thinking he must be someone who could accomplish great things.
In just ten days, Shajia Town had taken on a completely new look.
Shajiakou had dozens of merchant ships docked.
Countless gold, silver, jewels, and military supplies.
Enough to recruit thousands of troops.
In just a few days, Jian Wushuang had turned a small pier into a major one.
Having acquired so much, the next step was to expand his manpower.
The laborers used these days were all strong young men from Shajia Town.
The two hundred men they had initially recruited had already been organized into an army.
Xiang Yang was appointed as the Grand General of the Coastal Guard.
Among the two hundred men, one hundred were heavy infantry, responsible for guarding
Shajiakou.
Another fifty were taken by Iron-Face Liang Chen to ensure the security of Shajia Town.
The remaining fifty were cavalry.
They currently had no combat ability and had just learned the basics. But they would soon be well-trained, personally commanded by Xiang Yang.
Jian Wushuang himself had not a single soldier under his command. Wang Lun, who was responsible for Shajiakou, commanded another hundred men.
These men were also Wang Luns trusted aides. Jian Wushuang did this intentionally to prevent any of these men from speaking ill of him and causing Wang Lun to have second
thoughts.
During the early stages of consolidation, everyone needed to be united.
Therefore, Jian Wushuang had not a single soldier under his command.
On this day, he sent someone to bring Scarred Xuan from the small pier to Shajiakou.
He also sent someone to invite Iron-Face Liang Chen.
In the evening.
In the bamboo tower at Shajiakou.
A simple dinner, accompanied by several jars of strong wine.
Only their own people were present.
After sitting down, there was no unnecessary politeness.
Jian Wushuang was the first to speak, Shajia Town is now stable. Its time to expand our
forces. Those military supplies the court doesnt use, we will use. They dare not resist the Yue Kingdom, so we will resist the Yue Kingdom ourselves!
