During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaded the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.  Due to the corruption and incompetence of the Ming Dynasty army, they constantly withdrew.  The Ming dynasty emperor had no choice but to recruit wolf troopers from Guangxi thousands of miles away to fight the Japanese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.  Once, twenty werewolf troopers encountered more than two hundred Japanese soldiers.  In the end, a wolf trooper was killed or wounded, killed more than fifty Japanese soldiers, and pursued Japanese pirates for tens of miles.  Therefore, the Ming dynasty began to reverse the situation.  --- To be continued du ma.  Mu. Baet.  Geat.  Mox.  Mar. Vaiz.  Mbie.  Sangz.  Gum.  Baz.
