Chapter 1469 Insights into their traitors
Zhu Pingan once again drew a map of the whereabouts of the Shangyu Japanese pirates after they landed, marking Yingtian and other places, and carefully recalled the attacks he had seen in modern times. The deeds of Japanese pirates in Nanjing.
Zhu Ping'an had read relevant historical records in modern times. It was said that during the Jiajing period, there was a group of about fifty-three Japanese pirates, spanning three thousand miles, robbing Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces, and attacking prefectures and counties. More than twenty places brazenly invaded Nanjing, the remaining capital.
Of course, there are disputes about the number of Japanese pirates in the preserved historical data. The historical data are different and the records are different. Some say it was fifty-three days, some said it was seventy-two, and some only roughly recorded sixty-seven. people.
Although there is controversy, the number of Japanese pirates can be basically confirmed to be between fifty and seventy people.
There are now about 90 Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu. They are still separated from Nanjing by Taiping Mansion and other places. It is estimated that when they fight all the way to Yingtian, they will lose some men on the way, especially since Taiping Mansion has a garrison, so By the time they arrived at Yingtian, their remaining manpower was estimated to be between more than fifty to more than seventy people.
So, the numbers of this group of Japanese pirates and the group of Japanese pirates who attacked Yingtian are basically the same.
Then, Zhu Ping'an discovered that in addition to the basic match in numbers, the Japanese pirates' marching routes were also basically consistent. According to historical records, the group of Japanese pirates who attacked Nanjing landed in Zhejiang, and robbed Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces along the way, spanning three thousand miles. As for this group of Japanese pirates, they landed in Shangyu, Zhejiang, and then turned inland from Zhejiang and entered Anhui. , now spans more than 1,800 miles. Therefore, the route and distance traveled before the attack on Nanjing are basically consistent.
In addition to the above two points, there is also combat effectiveness.
According to historical records, the group of Japanese pirates who attacked Yingtian had astonishing fighting prowess. They were like wild boars, running rampant in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In serious decades, there will be no Japanese pirates with higher combat effectiveness than this group of Japanese pirates.
The group of Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu were extremely fierce in combat. The Tang newspaper repeatedly recorded their shocking actions of catching arrows with bare hands. Zhu Ping'an had never seen Japanese pirates who were so capable of fighting, and he even felt that they could be classified as Ancient special forces.
So, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu are basically consistent with the Japanese pirates who attacked Yingtian in history.
There are so many coincidences!
History has no coincidences!
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an could already conclude that the group of Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu were the group of Japanese pirates recorded in history who brazenly attacked Nanjing.
Therefore, we must report to Yingtian as soon as possible, prepare early and be fully prepared to avoid repeating the mistakes of history.
Historically, this group of Japanese pirates attacked Yingtian, causing Yingtian to lose his troops and generals. Historical data described it as "almost captured Yingtian", which shows how harmful this group of Japanese pirates was to Yingtian and how serious the trauma they caused. !
This incident had a far-reaching impact. It not only severely humiliated the Ming Dynasty and severely damaged the anti-Japanese morale, but also encouraged and stimulated the Japanese pirates, making the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan more surging and in full swing.
We must never repeat the mistakes of history!
Zhu Pingan's eyes became firm, and without further ado, he quickly sent someone to call Liu Dadao and others, and ordered them to ride with him to Yingtian to warn!
On the way to Yingtian, Zhu Ping'an kept thinking hard, why did this group of Japanese pirates attack Nanjing? ! Why did this group of Japanese pirates risk going deep into the interior? If they wanted to attack Nanjing, wouldn't it be closer to go directly from Shangyu to Hangzhou to Nanjing? ! Or wouldn't it be more convenient to land near Yingtian? ! Why risk going deep into the interior and making such a long detour before attacking Nanjing? ! What conspiracy do they have? !
While riding his horse and whipping his whip, Zhu Pingan racked his brains and thought hard about the above questions.
This group of Japanese pirates is definitely not lost and in the wrong direction! When they fought against the government and the army, they not only used powerful force, but were also good at setting ambushes, attacking in the east and attacking in the west. It can be seen that this group of Japanese pirates are definitely cunning and cunning people!
So, this group of Japanese pirates will never go deep into the inland for no reason. They must have ulterior motives and ulterior motives!
But why did the Japanese pirates, who were so cunning and had ulterior motives, take such great risks to go deep into the interior and attack the heavily guarded Yingtian Giant City? ! The lone army went deep into a foreign country and made a large circle. Even with the loss of half of its troops, it still had to attack a heavily guarded giant city!
This is nothing less than a suicide journey!
Why? !
What conspiracy are the Japanese pirates brewing? !
Zhu Pingan thought for a long time on horseback, but still could not come up with a reasonable answer.
If you can’t think clearly, then think about it in another person’s shoes.
Zhu Ping'an imagined himself as a Japanese pirate who came across the ocean and landed in Shangyu, Zhejiang during the Ming Dynasty. After burning, killing and looting a village, he not only did not escape, but instead drank and ate meat in the most magnificent courtyard of the village without fear. Singing and dancing, they gathered their strength and waited for the Ming Dynasty's Shaoxing Prefecture and Wei Suo coalition forces to come to encircle and suppress them. After the Ming army arrived, they took the initiative to attack Shaoxing Prefecture and Wei Suo. The allied forces, after killing the Ming army in fear, took the initiative to retreat into the courtyard and wait for Ming army reinforcements. Before the Ming army's fire attack at night, they killed another wave of besieging Ming army, opened a hole, and crossed the river on a raft to escape from the Ming army's siege easily. After crossing the river, they found more than 300 heavily armed troops escorting official sedans at night. After ambushing and killing them, they headed north. After reaching the Qiantang River in the north, they turned around and headed west. Deep into the inland, they marched quickly to Changhua County and Tuyumi Village. They killed the Changhua County officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them. They took advantage of the situation and invaded Changhua County. After a period of burning, looting and looting, they continued westward to Yuqian County, and again Burning, killing and looting attracted the officers and soldiers of Yu Qian County to come to encircle and suppress them. They ambush on the road where the officers and soldiers must pass. The officers and soldiers of Yu Qian County attacked and killed a man and turned his back on his horse. They continued to march westward to Chun. Anxian County, once again defeated the officers and soldiers; entered Huizhou Prefecture in the west and attacked the passes.
Zhu Ping'an imagined himself as a Japanese pirate, landed, killed, attacked the officers and soldiers, attacked the county seat, and attacked the passes
"Huh? !”
The corner of Zhu Ping’an’s eyes suddenly jumped, and he realized that something was wrong. This group of Japanese pirates fought with the officers and soldiers too frequently!
They came across seas and oceans, seemingly not to seek wealth, but to fight with the Ming army in various places. No matter which county or prefecture they went to, they had to fight with the local officers and soldiers. Even if they can avoid it, they won't!
If the person who is most familiar with the situation of the Ming army along this route is none other than this group of Japanese pirates!
Wait, are you familiar with the situation of the Ming army? ! !
Like a flash of light piercing the night! Zhu Ping'an's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help blurting out, "They are spies!"
This group of Japanese pirates landed at Shangyu, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, went north to the Qiantang River, and turned inland to Changhua, Yuqian, and Chun'an , Huizhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture, Taiping The Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, and Suzhou Mansion made a big circle around the most prosperous Su-Shanghai area in the south of the Yangtze River, and traveled for three thousand miles. The human resources, material resources, terrain, military strength, and combat power were all in my mind; my terrain and military strength were the other. From what we can see, there will be a large number of invaders in the future, how can we control them?
What a big appetite!
Sure enough, he has ulterior motives! (End of this chapter)
