Chapter 1142: Destroy this Chao Shi
Although my military exploits are good, I, Zhu Pingan, cannot dye the feathers on my head red with the blood of young and strong people.
The Japanese pirates are fierce, and it is okay for the young and strong people to defend the city. If they fight the Japanese pirates in the field, it is no different than committing suicide. Even if there is a simplified version of the Yuanyang Formation, it will not work. Firstly, the fighting quality of the people is limited. Secondly, this simple version of the Yuanyang Formation is rigid and rigid. It is okay to defend on the city wall. In field battles, the disadvantages are infinitely magnified, and it is not a match for the Japanese pirates at all. Even the complete version of the Yuanyang Formation, without several months of training, is no match for the Japanese pirates.
Zhu Pingan thought for a moment, and his eyes became more and more cautious. If he was not completely sure, he would rather miss this once-in-a-century military exploit than risk the lives of young people.
"Brother Mu, please arrange for someone to go and inquire again to see how Taiping County fell. In addition, also inquire about the Japanese invasion situation in Taizhou Prefecture and the movements of various Japanese pirates. Note, with Safety first.”
Zhu Pingan asked Liu Mu to arrange for people to inquire about the Japanese pirates, and told Liu Mu to put safety first when he inquired about the information.
Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you win every battle. Regardless of the scale of the battle, information is always the key to victory. Only by fully grasping the information about Japanese pirates can we analyze, plan and decide the next step.
Of course, military merit is secondary. Post-war reconstruction and appeasing the people are the top priority and first priority today.
After Liu Mu took the order, Zhu Ping'an left the third hall and called Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and others outside the lobby to continue going to the countryside to investigate and direct post-war reconstruction matters. Zhu Ping'an recorded the disaster-stricken situation in each village in detail, and made targeted arrangements for reconstruction based on the actual situation of each village and local conditions.
From morning to night, he worked non-stop. In the dead of night, Zhu Pingan finally ran through the entire area.
The damage caused by the Japanese pirates is shocking. The Japanese pirates really deserve death! What a heinous crime! Fortunately, Jingnan was defended and the Japanese pirates were driven away. Otherwise, the damage suffered by Jingnan would be a hundred times more serious than it is now.
During the great Ming Dynasty, China was so majestic that it suffered from Japanese invasion. It was truly a national embarrassment and a national humiliation that will never be forgotten by generations to come!
I, Zhu Pingan, will definitely defeat the Japanese pirates! Lead the army to flog the Japanese! Let the Japanese people pay a heavy price! I want the Japanese slaves to live forever and never dare to covet China again!
After visiting all the disaster-stricken villages, Zhu Pingan’s anger became more and more intense! The oath became more and more firm.
After Zhu Ping'an returned to the county government office, Liu Mu, who was waiting in the lobby, came over to report the news.
"Reporting to the young master, we have found out the news." Liu Mu saluted.
"Brother Mu, there is no need to be polite, just sit down and talk." Zhu Pingan asked Liu Mu to sit down and poured two cups of tea.
"Thank you, Mr. Taiping. The reason why Taiping County fell so quickly is because Taiping County Magistrate Wang Fengming was greedy for life and afraid of death." Liu Mu thanked him and sat down to report back. When the name of Taiping County Magistrate Wang Fengming was mentioned, Liu Mu couldn't help but have a look on his face. of anger.
"Oh, how to say it specifically?" Zhu Ping'an asked curiously.
“Sir, the leader of this group of Japanese pirates is named Honda Heihachi. After we retreated from Jingnan, there were only more than a thousand troops left. After he was defeated and retreated into Taiping County, he burned, killed, and looted along the way, and took nearly a thousand people hostage. thousand The young and strong people immediately surrounded Taiping County. Wang Fengming, the magistrate of Taiping County, was as timid as a mouse and was afraid of death. Seeing that the Japanese pirates were strong and powerful, they did not dare to resist at all. He would have abandoned the city and fled. Xia Houliang of Ping County tried his best to persuade him, but the cowardly Wang Zhixian would have abandoned the city and fled immediately. Huh, I think there were more than 3,000 Japanese pirates who surrounded our Jingnan County, and the young master fell asleep on the city wall. , stabilized public sentiment , led us to defeat the Japanese pirates. When the Japanese pirates besieged Taiping County, there were only a thousand defeated soldiers left. Taiping County Magistrate did not dare to resist and wanted to abandon the city and flee. What a waste!"
Liu Mu replied in detail, full of contempt for Wang Fengming, the magistrate of Taiping County.
"Then he abandoned the city and fled?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"No." Liu Mu shook his head, "Although he did not abandon the city and flee, he sued for peace with the Japanese pirates. After being persuaded by the Xiahou County Magistrate, Wangzhi County harbored evil intentions and proposed to defend separately with the Xiahou County Magistrate. There are four city gates. He guards the west gate and south gate, and orders The Prime Minister of Xiahou County guarded the East Gate and the North Gate. Wang Zhixian, who was greedy for life and feared death, seized a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and brocade in the city while the Prime Minister of Xiahou County was fighting bravely outside the North Gate, and secretly sent his housekeeper. Go to the Japanese pirates to ask for peace. The Japanese pirates are cunning, and the lion opens his mouth and orders the king. The magistrate offered ten times the gift before agreeing to negotiate. Taking advantage of Wang Magistrate's opportunity to open the city gate to deliver the gifts, he seized the city gate and captured Taiping County in one fell swoop. He was able to survive, but his head was chopped off by the Japanese pirates."
“One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!”
After hearing Liu Mu’s words, Zhu Ping’an couldn’t help but slap the table and sighed, speechless to the stupid and incompetent Taiping magistrate who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Extremely indignant and extremely indignant, pitiful for the people of Taiping County.
"Young Master is right." Liu Mu nodded vigorously, "It's all because the Taiping County Magistrate was greedy for life and fearful of death, and was stupid and incompetent. That's why he fell into the Japanese pirates' trick and easily captured Taiping County."
"How is the situation in other counties in Taizhou Prefecture?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"I was about to report to the Young Master that Xianju County and Ninghai County were also attacked by Japanese pirates. The county towns of both counties were attacked by the same group of Japanese pirates. The leader of this group of Japanese pirates was a thief monk, nicknamed Iron King Kong. I heard that there are two to three thousand Japanese pirates under my command," Liu Mu replied.
"Xianju County is easy to attack but difficult to defend, and it is inevitable that it will be attacked by Japanese pirates. However, Ninghai County is backed by mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is also a guard station stationed nearby. Logically speaking, it should not Is it easily broken?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an sighed and then asked.
"Tie Jingang broke through Xianju County on the day he landed. After receiving the news, Ninghai County strengthened its defense and asked for help from the garrison. Qianhu Guanyao from the garrison led 800 soldiers to defend Ninghai County. I heard that Qianhu Guanyao Not taking the Japanese pirates seriously at all, the magistrate of Ninghai County prepared wine and food for Guan Qianhu, but Guan Qianhu said boldly, "My ancestor, the martial sage Guan Yunchang, warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong. I am a descendant of the martial sage, so I can't compare with him." My ancestors are just Japanese pirates. But he didn't take it seriously. Let's put the food and wine aside until I kill the Japanese pirates. After saying that, Guan Qianhu led 800 soldiers, 200 government officials, and people, totaling more than 1,000 people, to take the initiative. Go out of the city to fight with the Japanese pirates, vowing to fight Wipe out the Japanese pirates. However, he did not expect that Guan Qianhu would be defeated as soon as the battle began. His head was smashed by Tie Jingang with a stick, and Ninghai County was also seized by Tie Jingang."
Liu Mu returned. road.
Alas.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was very speechless about Guan Qianhu. He was very angry about destroying this imperial food. He was very concerned about Yunchang's courage to warm up wine and kill Hua Xiong. It was a pity that he had more than enough intention. Due to lack of strength, they were defeated and killed as soon as the battle began, and Ninghai County was also implicated.
Isn’t it better to defend the city well? If you have to go out to fight the Japanese pirates, you don’t know how much you weigh! (End of chapter)
