Chapter 1146 Mobilization
“Brother Mu, Brother Dadao, you have worked hard most of the night. Go and have a rest. You will still be busy early tomorrow morning.”
After the interrogation, Zhu Pingan took the photo He patted Liu Mu and Liu Dadao on the shoulders and asked them to go down and rest.
Zhu Ping'an himself returned to the third hall of the county government office, lit the oil lamp, brewed a pot of strong tea, and started deducing again based on the interrogation results.
The interrogation results have confirmed that the three groups of Japanese pirates, Honda Heihachi, Tiejingang and Jiangmen Lord, are the same group. Jiangmen Lord is the big leader, Honda Heihachi is the second leader, and Tiejingang is the third leader. The total strength of the three groups of Japanese pirates is as high as There are more than ten thousand Japanese pirates. Before landing, the three groups of Japanese pirates had divided up the seven counties of Taizhou, dispersed and plundered them, and agreed to rendezvous at the foot of Taizhou Fucheng in five days. Tomorrow evening is the deadline for the rendezvous. Honda Heihachi has ordered to break camp at Taiping County at noon tomorrow and rendezvous at the foot of Taizhou Fucheng. The master of Jiangmen.
Tomorrow at noon, this is a very critical time.
Zhu Pingan put down the tea cup, squinted his eyes, tapped the table slightly with his index finger, and pursed the corners of his mouth.
Honda Heihachi will break camp and leave Taiping County at noon tomorrow!
If I lead my troops to arrive in Taiping County before Honda Heihachi breaks camp at noon, then Honda Heihachi’s behavior of leaving Taiping County will become: Jingnan Magistrate Zhu Pingan leads his troops without fear of sacrifice After a fierce battle with the Japanese pirates who were entrenched in Taiping County, they rushed to the aid of Taiping County. The Japanese pirates who were entrenched in Taiping County were expelled and beaten away by Zhu Pingan, the magistrate of Jingnan. Zhu Pingan, the magistrate of Jingnan, recovered Taiping County, the Ming Dynasty territory occupied by the Japanese pirates. In this way, the credit for rescuing Taiping, expelling Japanese pirates, and restoring Taiping will firmly fall on himself.
If I had led my troops to arrive in Taiping County after Honda Heiba camp left Taiping County at noon, then Honda Heiba camp's behavior of leaving Taiping County would have nothing to do with me, and I would naturally have no merit.
Therefore, he must lead his troops to rescue Taiping County before Honda Heihachi breaks camp and leaves Taiping County at noon.
This opportunity must be grasped well. It can be earlier, but not too early, and never late. If it is too early, there will be enough time left for Honda Heihachi, and the danger will be great. If Honda Heihachi is not saved, he will find his way back, and when fighting Japanese pirates in the wild, Zhu Pingan thinks that he has no chance of winning; if it is too late, Honda Heihachi will have already For breaking camp and leaving Taiping, the credit has nothing to do with him.
Theoretically speaking, Honda Heihachi has a mission. He has to go to Taizhou Prefecture to join Jiangmen Master and He Bing to attack Taizhou Prefecture. I believe that he will not fight with him in the field. On the one hand, if he fights in the field, he will definitely miss the rendezvous time agreed with the Jiangmen leader; on the other hand, if he fights in the field, even if the Japanese pirates have a chance of winning, they will definitely lose their troops. Last time Honda Heihachi attacked Jingnan, he lost half of his troops. This time he I will definitely consider it carefully.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Honda Heihachi would rather rendezvous late or lose troops and generals in order to regain his position.
These must be taken into consideration!
Zhu Ping'an took a sip of strong tea, rubbed his brows, cheered up, and started planning carefully.
The oil lamp in the third hall of the county government stayed on until the fourth watch, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the starlight outside the window and extinguished it.
Early in the morning the next day, before dawn, Zhu Ping'an had already gotten up. Just like yesterday, he took a refreshing cold shower while washing, and he was full of energy to welcome a new day.
Military glory has been given to me from heaven. I can get it at my fingertips. How can I give it up?
"Now we have a great achievement in front of us, and we can get it at our fingertips..." Zhu Ping'an used the breakfast sent by Hua'er, the little maid of Baozi, and then summoned Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others. He told them his plan for the attack.
"Grab it! Master, this is a rare good thing in a hundred years, just like picking it up for nothing! If you don't snatch it, it's nothing!"
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Liu Dadao rubbed his big bear paws excitedly. , shouted excitedly.
"Master, this is a God-given military achievement! Of course we can't let it go." Liu Mu and the others also expressed their support for him.
Liu Dadao and the others had full trust in Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan asked them to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire without blinking an eye. Now after listening to Zhu Pingan’s analysis and planning, this military achievement is Just like Bai Jian, Zhu Ping'an's plan was watertight and there was no risk at all, and he was naturally supported ten thousand times more.
"Okay! Then let's take some of the battle glory from him!" Zhu Ping'an nodded vigorously and made his decision.
To rush to the aid of Taiping to grab the credit, someone must be there. If there are dozens of county government officials, they can only give away people and cannot take the credit. Therefore, young people must be recruited. Only with the strength of the people, Honda Heihachi will not dare to cause trouble. ,act rashly.
"Brother Mu, Daqiang, please post this recruitment document and recruit five hundred young and strong people. If there is no war, each person will receive five taels of silver; if there is war, you will be rewarded with silver and for defending the city. Same, 10 taels per person, an additional 10 taels of silver for injuries, and an additional 5 taels of silver for death. Twelve. This recruitment is completely voluntary and there is no need to force it."
Zhu Pingan took out the official document for recruiting young people that he had written last night, stamped it with the county magistrate's seal, and handed it to Liu Mu and Liu. Big guns, let them go to the county government office to post recruitment documents and recruit five hundred young and strong people.
"Big Sword and Big Hammer, take this official document and bring a few government servants to recruit a hundred carriages."
After arranging for Liu Mu and Liu Daqiang, Zhu Ping'an again He took out the official document for recruiting carriages written last night, stamped it with the county magistrate's seal, and gave it to Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui, asking them to take a few government officials to recruit one hundred taels of carriages.
"Dagang, take this order and inspect the six offices of the county government to see which officials are there, and recruit them all. No need to say more to them, just say that they will be recruited to help Taiping County." Zhu Pingan said to Liu Dagang , and asked him to take the order with him to inspect the various squad rooms of the county government and recruit all the county officials.
This is also a test for Zhu Pingan's subordinates in the six houses, and it is also the last chance given to them.
Last time Honda Ping Bayi and a group of Japanese pirates attacked Jingnan County, Dianshi Li Da was the first to abandon the city and flee. County Magistrate Zhang Changru and Chief Secretary Yao Wenyuan also followed closely behind and fled without a trace. , until now, they have not come back yet. It is estimated that the Japanese pirates will not come back until they leave Taizhou Prefecture. As for the subordinate officials in the six houses of the county government, after hearing the news of the Japanese invaders attacking the city, they all ran away without a trace. They either followed Li Da and others and fled the city, or they abandoned the official uniform of the county government and fled back to their own homes. The family went into hiding.
It is no exaggeration to say that the county offices were all empty at that time!
After the successful defense of Jingnan, Zhu Ping'an has been busy with post-war reconstruction, leaving early and returning late, and did not spare time to liquidate them. However, I heard that some of the subordinate staff who had escaped in the past two days came back to work shamelessly and as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Pingan took this opportunity to test them and give them the last chance. If they can change their ways and be drafted to help Taiping, Zhu Ping'an can deal with them lightly or even let the past go. If they don't want to repent, then when they make time to sort things out, they will never be merciful. (End of this chapter)
