Chapter 1107 Explanation and Confidence
While Zhu Pingan was busy directing the deployment of defenses on the city wall, the discordant sounds under the city wall never stopped. Those who did not listen to persuasion and were bent on fleeing from the city, because Zhu Pingan did not order the city gate to be opened and meet their demands, their cries, curses, and jeers never stopped, especially when Zhu Pingan focused on strengthening the west When the city wall section was being defended, these discordant sounds reached a climax, as if boiling and filling the sky.
"Young and old men, you have all seen it. Even though we are young magistrates, we are very cunning. Look, there are only more than 150 soldiers in the county. Just because of the small magistrates In Xicheng, he There were more than 60 soldiers left in the west city, and only 30 soldiers were left at each of the east gate, south gate, and north gate. "
"Everyone knows that the leading Japanese pirates clearly appeared at the east gate. But our little magistrate is in the west The heavy troops deployed at the city gate are not for public use. He is deploying heavy troops to protect himself. He talks about coexisting with the county, but he is deploying heavy troops to protect himself. He will probably take them with him when the situation becomes impossible. These heavy troops broke through Escape from the city. This is to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time."
"When the Japanese invaders break the city, we don't have to run away. Xiaozhi County has these soldiers to protect us and we can run away at any time. Ah.”
"Everyone, young and old, please open your eyes wide, keep your eyes open, and see clearly the true face of this sanctimonious little magistrate. Don't be betrayed and help people earn money..."
City The discordant sounds under the wall were getting louder and louder, reaching the level of affecting the preparations for war on the city wall. This could not be left alone. Zhu Pingan put down the stone in his hand, patted the dust on his hand, and walked slowly to the city wall to stamp on it. .
The people under the city wall have been paying attention to Zhu Pingan, especially those who are full of resentment towards Zhu Pingan because they cannot leave the city. They are staring at Zhu Pingan without blinking. As soon as Zhu Pingan came over, everyone focused their attention on Zhu Pingan.
“Master County Magistrate, you talk about living and dying with the county, but in the end you deploy heavy troops to protect yourself...”
“That’s right, you talk one thing and say another behind your back. When the Japanese pirates attack the city, you will have someone to protect you and you can escape at any time. We poor civilians will have no choice but to be slaughtered by the Japanese pirates.”
"Master County Magistrate, in order to satisfy your false reputation of living and dying with the county, do you want so many of us innocent people to be buried with you? Don't you think you are too selfish? If you really want to leave a good reputation in the minds of us people, While there are still no Japanese pirates at the west gate, quickly open the city gate and let us Go out of the city and escape. We will all miss you after we leave the city."
...
Before Zhu Ping'an walked to the city wall and stomped on it, those people below the city who wanted to leave the city but couldn't, had already taken the lead. They are in trouble, and at the moment of life and death, they don't care about their superiority or inferiority. You won't let us leave the city to survive, so what do we have to fear?
"Dear fellow villagers, I, Zhu Pingan, said that if we live or die with the county, we must live or die with the county. This time the Japanese pirates attacked the city, I, Zhu Pingan, had only two outcomes, either victory or death. The words on the city wall were written in black and white. The red seal is still there. You, fellow villagers, don’t have any doubt about this. If I, Zhu Pingan, abandon the city and flee, you can kill my Zhu Pingan immediately. Even if you are afraid and do not behead me, Zhu Pingan, on the spot, as long as you report it to Taizhou Prefecture afterwards, Taizhou Prefecture will definitely cut off my Zhu Pingan's head for the crime of escaping from Lincheng, betrayal, and failure to abide by military orders. "
Zhu Ping'an stood on the city wall, looking at the sarcastic people below, pointing at his head, and explained to everyone seriously.
When the people under the city wall heard the words, they looked up at the official documents with the official seal posted on the city wall, and couldn't help but nodded. That's right, the official documents with the magistrate's seal were all posted, and the magistrate couldn't regret it even if he wanted to.
But
It’s still wrong. Since you have to live and die with the county, then why are you selfishly mobilizing heavy troops to protect yourself?
After thinking of this, some people couldn't wait to question Zhu Ping'an, "The county magistrate said it nicely, so why did you mobilize a large number of troops to stay in Xicheng? Are you using power for personal gain, using public weapons for personal use, and deploying troops? Protect yourself. "
" Dear fellow villagers, the reason why I, Zhu Pingan, deployed heavy troops to defend Xicheng is not out of selfish reasons to protect myself, but because Xicheng will become the focus of the Japanese pirates' invasion. "Zhu Pingan pointed at his feet. , explained.
"Will the West City become the focus of the Japanese pirates' attack? Hahaha... The county magistrate really lied without making a draft. There were clearly Japanese pirates outside the East City Gate, but now there is not a single Japanese pirate outside the West City Gate. , but the magistrate said that the Japanese pirates would attack Xicheng? The magistrate really thinks that we people are stupid."
"That's right, magistrate, we are not blind. But you can't coax us. Now that the Japanese pirates are clearly in the East City, how can they focus on attacking the West City? Why are you telling lies with your eyes open?"
"Hahaha, it's really funny."
"Look, guys, the county magistrate is the county magistrate. He can tell lies with his eyes open without blushing."
......
After Zhu Pingan explained, there was a roar of jeers under the city wall, and everyone questioned Zhu Pingan's remarks. Look, the Japanese pirates clearly appeared outside the east city gate, but you focused on defending the west city. This doesn't make sense.
"The Japanese pirates are carrying out a strategy of attacking from the east and attacking in the west. They used dozens of Japanese pirates to paralyze the east city to deceive our defenders. During the final attack, they unexpectedly attacked the west city gate in a large scale. Therefore, I focused on the defense of the west city gate."
Zhu Pingan explained again.
“The county magistrate really lied without drafting. As soon as he said it, the Japanese pirates belonged to your family. You said they were attacking in the east and in the west, so they attacked in the east and in the west.”
“That’s right, how do you know that the Japanese pirates are attacking from the east to the west. If the Japanese pirates attack the East City Gate, the number of people at the East City Gate will not be enough to fill their teeth.”
"Liar..."
"Seeing is believing, talking is untrustworthy. Japanese pirates clearly appeared at the East Gate, one after another, one after another, more and more, the county magistrate actually said It's ridiculous that the Japanese pirates are attacking from the east."
Everyone under the city wall didn't believe it, and they continued to jeer.
“If you fellow villagers had paid attention before, you would have found that most of the villages where Japanese pirates ravaged were concentrated on the west side of the county. Only a few villages on the east side were affected, while a large area on the west side was affected. The villages suffered disaster, which also shows that the Japanese pirates are concentrated on the west side of the county. If the Japanese pirates attack the county, the west gate is more conducive for them to gather and attack... In addition, the villages suffering on the east side are relatively far away from the county. The villages that suffered disaster on the west side were only a few miles away from the county seat. If we were to say they arrived first, it would be appropriate for the Japanese pirates on the west side to appear first at the West City Gate. However, it was the Japanese pirates on the east side who appeared at the East City Gate first, so this Everything is just a trick to conceal the truth, and it is just a trick of the Japanese pirates to attack the east and west. "
Zhu Pingan pointed to the east of the city and then to the west of the city, and explained to everyone with a confident look.
Of course he was confident. Zhu Pingan silently looked to the west of the city and shouted silently, "Guangzong Yaozu."
In the old forest not far from the county seat in the west of the city, billowing black luck intertwined like an evil python. The blood-red evil python's luck rose into the sky with murderous intent. The two intertwined and circled like a tornado from the old forest in the west of the city to the west gate of the county. The sky swept over, and in an instant, black and blood-red luck was like rain, dripping and pouring on the white luck pillars above the heads of the people in the county. Then, the white luck pillars above the heads of the people began to turn black visibly. , blood red transformation...
The blood red luck represents the disaster of blood and light, and the black luck represents the death energy.
This is Zhu Pingan’s confidence.
Of course, Zhu Pingan cannot tell the people this way. He can only go back to the details from the conclusion and use the details to present facts and reason to the people.
The effect is also ideal.
Zhu Ping'an presented the facts and spoke truthfully. Everyone under the city wall heard what he said and thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.
Of course, for those stubborn people who want to leave the city, no matter how reasonable Zhu Ping'an says, they don't believe it. After Zhu Pingan's words fell behind, they retorted and questioned Zhu Pingan in the city. However, the scale, intensity and influence were much smaller than before, and they were no longer enough to affect the overall situation of Biwa. (End of this chapter)
