Chapter 1166 Report on the Japanese War in Counties (Part 1)
“Report to the Governor and General, the Japanese pirates fled to the Musukou coast, and have already taken a boat and set sail to escape to the depths of the sea.”
While the banquet in Taizhou was in full swing, a scouting soldier came quickly and reported to Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun and Ningtai Counselor Yu Dayou.
After the Japanese pirates fled, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, sent out dozens of detective horses. On the one hand, he was investigating the movements of the Japanese pirates, and some of them went deep into the counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture to investigate and implement the Japanese disaster situation in each county.
“The Japanese pirates ran away”
"The Japanese pirates have run away, and Taizhou Prefecture has no worries."
"The Japanese pirates have run away, and there is no need to fight anymore. There is no need to worry about the sword being blind and dying on the battlefield."
Everyone at the banquet After hearing the news that the Japanese pirates had fled to the sea, everyone was overjoyed and cheered.
The Japanese pirates fled to the sea! The Japanese invasion of Taizhou Prefecture is over! No more fighting! No need to worry about bloodshed and sacrifice! Long live! Long live! Long live!
For the people of Taizhou Prefecture who have been devastated by Japanese pirates, there is no better news than this news.
"Damn, you son of a bitch, the Japanese pirates are running fast. I haven't drunk enough Japanese pirates' blood with my knife!" ! The Japanese pirates, my son, can run fast!”
“Damn it, I wanted to fill my stomach, pick up the sword and ride on the horse to kill the Japanese pirates for a while. It’s time to digest food. Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates didn’t cooperate at all and fled to the sea without even saying hello.”
The Yu family army at the table was equally happy. They defeated 20,000 Japanese pirates in one battle. They were defeated, defeated, and fled overseas. This achievement was enough for them to brag for a year, and they started to brag about their arrogance and pity.
The news that the Japanese pirates fled to the sea was like adding the most delicious delicacy in the world to the banquet, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to the highest point. At the same time, without the worries of Japanese pirates, the wine that was originally intended to be controlled at the banquet was brought up one jar after another, as if it was free of charge. Everyone no longer restrained themselves, pushing cups for cups, mingling with each other, and started drinking.
The welcome banquet seemed to have turned into a celebration banquet.
After tea time, while everyone was drinking, another soldier trotted in from outside.
"Report, report to the governor and general, Xiao Xiao went to Linhai County to investigate. Linhai County had been conquered by Japanese pirates three days ago, and the county seat was robbed by Japanese pirates. The county government It was set on fire by Japanese pirates, and the magistrate of Linhai County was missing. "
When the soldier arrived at the banquet, he knelt down and reported to Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun, Ningtai Counselor Yu Dayou and others.
Linhai County is the closest to Taizhou Fucheng, so the soldiers who investigated the situation in Linhai County were the first to come back.
Xiao Bing's words suddenly silenced the noisy banquet.
After hearing the news from the soldiers that Linhai County had been invaded by Japanese pirates three days ago, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun paused the bamboo chopsticks he was preparing to pick up with food in mid-air. His face instantly became black, and after a long time he let out a faint sigh. , put the chopsticks on the plate dullly, feeling very heavy, very bad.
Although he already knew it, he still had a glimmer of hope. The terrain of Linhai County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Linhai County is a large county with abundant resources and people. Linhai County Magistrate is quite talented and famous. He can turn the tide and protect Linhai County Not lost, but at this moment, the news that Linhai County Town reported by Xiaobing was like a bleak cold wind, tearing his last shred of hope to pieces...
Alas...
Actually, You already know it in your mind, don’t you? ! The Japanese pirates are fierce and their numbers are overwhelming. Our Taizhou Prefecture was almost captured. Isn't it inevitable that a small county in Linhai County would be captured by the Japanese pirates? !
After a long time, Tan Lun waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to go down to eat. He himself cheered up, picked up his chopsticks again, pointed at a new dish, and persuaded Yu Dayou and others with a strong smile, "Eat the food, eat it." Dish, General Yu, all officers and men, please try this Guojiu pickled bream. The main ingredient of this dish is Songmen white bream, which is a specialty of Taizhou. It is made of large yellow croaker. It is processed and has a grayish-white color with a hint of yellow, so it is called Songmen Baiyu. The soaked fish is firm in texture, tender on the outside and tender on the inside. It is a rare delicacy in Taizhou. I don’t want to taste this.”
“Well, it’s really delicious.”
After tasting it, all the soldiers praised it.
Under the auspices of Tan Lun, the atmosphere of the banquet revived and became lively again.
The banquet was no longer lively but during tea time, there was another sound of horse hoofbeats outside, and then a burst of rapid footsteps. Soon, another horse scout walked in from the outside.
After the last experience, everyone made some guesses this time, consciously quieted down, and turned their attention to the detective.
"Report, Tiantai County battle report... Report to the governor and general, Xiao Bing was ordered to go to Tiantai County to investigate..."
When the detective horse soldiers arrived at the banquet, they knelt down and reported to Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun and Ningtai. General Yu Dayou and others reported.
Tiantai County!
After hearing that Xiao Bing reported the battle report from Tiantai County, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun gave up all hope.
Tiantai County is no better than Linhai County. Tiantai County is just a small county with only half the population of Linhai County. It is relatively barren, with no mountains or moats around, no danger to defend, and it is easy to attack but difficult to defend. Moreover, the magistrate of Tiantai County is almost sixty years old. Yes, all It is said that he has entered the official life ahead of schedule by eating fast and chanting Buddha all year round. More importantly, the old magistrate of Tiantai County is still a rotten scholar. He only reads the Four Books and Five Classics, is not familiar with current affairs, and knows nothing about marching and fighting. How can we rely on him to defend the city? !
So, Tan Lun still has a glimmer of hope for Linhai County, but for Tiantai County, he has no hope at all.
"Tiantai County was besieged by Japanese pirates three days ago. The Japanese pirate who besieged Tiantai County was Liu Tuzi, a subordinate of Lord Jiangmen." Tan Ma Xiaobing continued to report.
The Japanese pirates who besieged Tiantai County were Japanese pirates under the command of Lord Jiangmen
Hearing this, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, did not have any hope for Tiantai County. Well, Master Jiang is the leader of the Hungry Wolf Alliance, and the Japanese pirates under his command are most numerous, with strong soldiers and horses. Tiantai County is surrounded by the Japanese pirates under Master Jiang, so there is no possibility of preservation.
Sure enough, the next second, Tan Ma Xiaobing continued to report, "According to reports, after the Japanese pirates besieged the city, the magistrate of Tiantai County led his subordinates to burn incense and worship Buddha on the city wall, held rituals, and knelt down to beg the Buddha to protect Tiantai County. As a result, not long after the rituals were completed, , the magistrate of Tiantai County was accidentally shot to death by an arrow from a Japanese pirate on the city wall."
After hearing the news from the soldiers that the Tiantai County magistrate was burning incense, worshiping Buddha, and holding rituals to defend against the Japanese pirates, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but almost cursed. Later, he heard that the Tiantai County Magistrate was on the city wall. After being shot to death by an arrow from a Japanese pirate, Tan Lun held back for the sake of the deceased.
