Chapter 1164: A certain surname is Yu and his name is Dayou
The Japanese pirates retreated and the city of Taizhou was defended. However, the heavy heart of Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun was not much relieved.
How to relax? !
In this battle, the soldiers and civilians of Taizhou Prefecture suffered very serious casualties. In just half a day of defending the city, more than 800 Taizhou Prefecture soldiers were killed, and almost all of the remaining soldiers were injured. The newly trained army was completely defeated this time, and more than a thousand people who helped defend the city were killed or injured.
The casualties are secondary!
The biggest problem now is that although Taizhou Prefecture has been defended, the seven counties under its jurisdiction have been invaded by Japanese pirates. Before Taizhou Prefecture was besieged by Japanese pirates, news came that all seven counties had been captured by Japanese pirates. Although it has not been confirmed, it is unmistakable. The Japanese pirates are so powerful. There are so many defenders in the capital of Taizhou, and they are almost defeated by the Japanese pirates. With so many defenders in the county, they should not be spared.
As a prefect, I have the responsibility to protect the environment and the people. If any county within my jurisdiction is attacked by Japanese pirates, the local magistrate must be shouldering the responsibility. However, I, the prefect, cannot escape the blame. This is a serious dereliction of duty! Not to mention, all seven counties under the government have been invaded by Japanese pirates! This is an unprecedented defeat for our Ming Dynasty since its founding! Moreover, this kind of defeat actually happened to me, Tan Lun! What a shame!
I wanted to work hard in Taizhou Prefecture and achieve a great career, but clinker encountered such a political disaster! Become a prince and prime minister, govern the country and bring peace to the country; pray for the people and help the world. Haha, everything has come to nothing...
How can I, Tan Lun, carry out my political ambitions? !
The political future is worrying and his official career is facing a fatal crisis. How can the prefect Tan Lun relax?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty should order the city gates to be opened and let the generals outside the city enter the city to rest."
After the Japanese pirates retreated, the clerk saw that the prefect Tan Lun was at the top of the city, and he delayed ordering the city gates to be opened. He opened the door and welcomed the reinforcements into the city. Seeing that the reinforcements outside the city were getting emotional, they were afraid of causing trouble, so they couldn't help but remind them.
“Oh, oh, pass the order from this government to open the city gate and welcome the reinforcements into the city. After a fight with the Japanese pirates, the soldiers outside the city are tired and exhausted. Thank you for your hard work. Arrange a banquet in the house to entertain and rescue me, Taizhou. At the same time, the soldiers of the government ordered. The workhouse and the barracks summoned doctors and doctors to prepare a lot of medicine and other medicinal materials to properly treat the injured soldiers."
After repeated reminders from the documents, Taizhou Governor Tan Lun recovered from his heavy sorrow. Come on, cheer up and ordered.
"What is the food for this Niaofu? Sir, I risked my life to kill the Japanese and drive them away. The battle was won. As a result, this Niaofu didn't even care about the food. It didn't even open the city gate. Let the old man Drinking the northwest wind outside and being rejected by others makes me angry just thinking about it!”
"Yes, yes, this is still Fucheng. I don't even understand the friendship between landlords. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."
Outside the city gate, under the banner with the word "Yu", there are a few careless cavalry , facing the closed city gate, he couldn't help but complain.
"What are you talking about, you little bastards! I led you to rescue Taizhou Prefecture just to make a living?! I was honored by the Holy Spirit and served as the counselor of Ningbo and Taizhou Prefectures to fight against Japanese pirates. , It is my duty to rescue Taizhou! You all follow me! You’re an old man, don’t embarrass me!”
The leading general is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a standard Chinese character face, a long back and a bear’s waist, and a body as strong as a bear’s. After hearing the complaints from the soldiers under his command, he couldn't help but glare at them and cursed them.
A few idle soldiers were not afraid even after being scolded. They gathered around their general with smiles and showed off their merits, "General, general, please calm down, we are just having fun. Just complaining. As you can see, we didn't hesitate on the battlefield just now, and we chopped off the heads of at least three Japanese pirates."
"Go, go, fuck your mother, you are so old! I am only forty-nine this year, and I am in the prime of life! If I hadn't seen you kill several Japanese pirates on the battlefield, and just heard you complaining, I would have whipped you down. "
When the leading general heard the words "You are old", he couldn't help but jump with his eyebrows, as if a tiger had its tail stepped on, and spit on several people's faces.
"Hahaha, Liu Ergou, Li Dazhuang, your flattery to the general must have ended up on the horse's legs." A group of cavalry couldn't help laughing. They seemed to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time. No more weird.
At this moment, the city gate of Taizhou Prefecture opened, and Tan Lun led the city officials to greet him at the city gate.
"Thank you for your help, generals, otherwise Taizhou Prefecture will be in trouble. The city has prepared simple meals, and I hope you won't dislike it. Oh, by the way, I haven't asked the name of the general yet." Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun He bowed his hands and thanked the soldiers outside the city, invited them to enter the city, and then asked the leading general for his name.
"There is food to eat, hahaha..."
Hearing that food had been prepared in the city, the cavalry outside the city all screamed excitedly.
"No, no, Magistrate Tan is too polite. A certain surname is Yu, Dayou, and he is the general of Ningbo and Taizhou appointed by the Holy Shangfang. This is to fight against Japanese pirates and protect the prefectures of Ningbo and Taizhou. It’s Yu’s responsibility.”
The general calmed down the shouting soldiers, got off his horse, and greeted Tan Lun, the magistrate of Taizhou, with fists in his hands.
This person is Yu Dayou. At the beginning of this month, Emperor Jiajing appointed him as the Ningtai General. Yu Dayou also just took office, and the cavalry behind him were all his own soldiers when he was the commander of Beiwadu in Fujian.
When Yu Dayou was appointed commander of Beiwa Capital in Fujian, he was recommended by Zhu Wan, who was then the right deputy censor of the capital, when he visited Fujian three years ago. However, as Zhu Wan offended interest groups in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, he was falsely accused by treacherous officials and dismissed from his post. , committed suicide in anger, Yu Dayou's situation was not good either. He was repeatedly squeezed out by the local bureaucracy in Fujian and suppressed by the strict party. When Yu Dayou quelled Fan Ziyi's rebellion in Annan, his great contribution was suppressed by Yan Song and was not reported to the court. In the end, Yu Dayou was only rewarded fifty taels of silver. The official environment in which Yu Dayou lived can be seen from this.
This year, the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River are serious, and the Japanese pirates have looted and invaded the coast of Zhejiang several times. When the country was in crisis and he wanted good generals, Emperor Jiajing thought of Zhu Wan, but Zhu Wan had already committed suicide in anger. Emperor Jiajing then remembered Yu Dayou, who had been recommended by Zhu Wan, so he appointed him as the counselor general of Ningbo and Taizhou to quell the Japanese invaders. .
Yu Dayou? !
Hearing that the general called himself Yu Dayou, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun immediately straightened his face, raised his hands and said loudly: "Nice to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you. It turns out that the general is General Yu Dayou, the famous "Blue Wave Dragon" in the southeast. Ah! It is true that a hundred times of hearing is not as good as a first sight. The general rides in front and uses his troops as powerfully as a dragon. The Japanese pirates are defeated at the first touch. It is really like a dragon in a hundred battles." (End of this chapter)
