Chapter 1482: Knowing the Small Things
Yesterday, after Zhu Ping'an returned to Taohuaji Campus from Yingtian, he actively organized the army to prepare for war. However, since it was getting late when he returned, some things that needed to be completed out of camp, such as purchasing category, inconvenient to carry out. When Zhu Pingan stayed up late at night to draft a plan to prepare for the war against the Japanese, he clearly listed the items that needed to be purchased out of the camp, and wrote a handwritten letter to Mrs. Yilan, the chieftain of Wuxi Miao.
The next day, there was just a dim dawn in the sky. Zhu Pingan got up after sleeping for less than two hours. He washed briefly and called Liu Daqiang and Liu Dachui early. et al.
"Big gun, you hold one hundred taels of silver, select fifty cavalry, and go to Taohua Market Town to purchase the items listed on the paper. If you can't purchase them in Taohua Market Town, go to Yingtian. You must go quickly. Reply, don’t delay.”
“Sledgehammer, please take my handwritten letter and return it. With these one hundred taels of silver, he selected fifty cavalrymen, all equipped with two horses, and rushed all the way to Wuxi Miaoman's headquarters - Wuxi Miao Town. He paid a visit to the Wuxi Miao chieftain, Mrs. Zhanlan, and saw how they were living down the mountain. No matter how difficult it is, at the same time, they purchase a large amount of their tribe’s secret knife-creating medicine.”
Zhu Pingan handed over the banknotes, purchase orders, letters, etc. to Liu Daqiang, Liu Dachui and others, and asked them to select elite cavalry and act separately. Since Wuxi Town, where Wuxi Miao currently lives, is far away, Zhu Pingan emphasized that Liu Dachui must be equipped with two horses when traveling to facilitate transfers on the road.
The Shangyu Japanese pirates were ambitious and extremely fierce. Zhu Pingan paid great attention to them and made many preparations in advance.
Material procurement is just one of them.
When marching and fighting, supplies and herbs are indispensable. Wuxi Miao's secret medicine knife is very effective in creating medicine. Naturally, the more the better.
At noon, the Marquis of Linhuai and the Duke of Wei came together, and they brought the latest Tangbao news to Zhu Pingan.
After Zhu Pingan read the pond newspaper once, he went back to read it again, then frowned and his expression became serious.
"What's the matter, nephew? What's the problem with Tang Bao?" Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis put down their teacups and asked.
"Uncle, Ping An has indeed discovered a problem." Zhu Ping'an nodded slightly, looked at the two of them and explained, "Uncle, please read the records in the Tang newspaper. There was a confrontation between the Japanese pirates in Shangyu, and Miao Yin and other troops They were defeated, and the Japanese pirates drove the Miao Yin tribe to attack Zeng Qianhu's troops, causing Zeng Qianhu's troops to be in chaos. Following the Miao Yin tribe's defeat, the Japanese pirates effortlessly won a great victory. In Yi Ju's victory, they lost twenty or thirty men, setting a record for the highest battle losses since they landed in the Ming Dynasty! Don't the two uncles find it strange? In the past, Shangyu Japanese pirates had repeatedly fought against officers and soldiers. , but the losses were very small, at most a few Japanese pirates died and a few were injured. How has there ever been such a loss of twenty or thirty people?!"
"Why, my nephew suspected that Tang Is the report false? ?!" Marquis Linhuai looked up at Zhu Ping'an and shook his head with a smile, "Haha, no! My nephew, you are overthinking it. After this battle, when the Japanese pirates attacked Wuhu County, it was in broad daylight. Lang Lang Under the circumstances, the soldiers and the common people on the wall of Wuhu County saw it. There were thousands of them in full view. After counting, there were only fifty-seven Japanese pirates attacking the city. That's all It’s not a big number, so you can’t count it wrong.”
After the Marquis of Linhuai fell behind, Wei Guogong also laughed, “My dear nephew, you really think too much,” as the ancients said. powerful "At the end of the crossbow, the force cannot penetrate the plain material." Now that the Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu are already at the end of their crossbows, they have no strength left; in addition, Commander Miao and Zeng Qianhu, they have a total of 3,000 coalition troops, not 3,000 pigs. . Isn't it normal to cause twenty children's loss to the Japanese pirates? ”
Oh, it’s not three pigs?!
Come on, don’t insult the pigs. Their three thousand coalition forces are worse than three pigs. If three thousand pigs come roaring, these dozens of Japanese pirates No matter how brave you are, there will be no bones left. There is a saying in the countryside: "One pig, two bears, three tigers, but the most ferocious is the wild boar king." This proverb is enough to prove the ferocity of the wild boar.
Zhu Pingan secretly complained, but in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Zhu Pingan did not say it out loud.
"Uncle, it is true that the end of the crossbow cannot be worn, but the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu are far from the end of the crossbow." Zhu Pingan said slowly.
Wei Guogong smiled and shook his head, and said with a face of experienced confidence, "Haha, nephew, you are inexperienced. There are only fifty-seven people in the bandits, and they are already at the end of their rope and at the end of their strength. ".
Zhu Ping'an asked, "Uncle, if the Japanese pirates are at the end of Qiannu, why do they still attack Wuhu County?!"
Wei Guogong smiled and continued, "Haha. My dear nephew, it happened that the Japanese pirates went to attack Wuhu County. It proves that they are at the end of their fight. Dear nephew, please read the Tang newspaper carefully. Later, the Japanese pirates set fire to the south bank of Wuhu, took the opportunity to sneak across the north bank of Wuhu, and attacked Wuhu County. However, when Wuhu County cut off the moat bridge in time and closed the city gate tightly, the Japanese pirates had no choice but to retreat in despair and disappear. . In a small county, if the city gate is closed, this group of Japanese pirates will have nothing to do. If we are not at the end of our battle, what are we?!"
Zhu Pingan shook his head, looked at Wei Guogong, and said softly: "Uncle, the Japanese pirates dare to attack Wuhu County, as long as they have this ambition, no matter what their reasons are, The failure to succeed proved that they were not at the end of their game. It should be noted that ambition comes from strength. Since they dare to attack Wuhu County, it proves that they have the strength and that they are not at the end of their fight."
After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Duke Wei said. Linhuai Marquis looked at each other, then shook their heads and laughed.
Uh
What are you laughing at? !
Zhu Pingan was puzzled.
“Oh, my dear nephew, you are still young, you have experienced too few setbacks, and you have not yet emerged from the shadow of the emergency military situation that failed last time. My dear nephew, failure is not terrible, you are still young, It doesn’t matter if you fall down a few times or make a fool of yourself a few times. As long as you remember the lessons and gain experience, you will not lose this time.”
The Marquis of Linhuai and Wei Guogong looked at Zhu Pingan with some sympathy. They believed that Zhu Pingan's reasons were completely far-fetched and not convincing at all. In the final analysis, they were still young and could not face and accept the last emergency military intelligence belt. These were all far-fetched excuses to justify his mistakes in urgent military situations.
Dizzy!
Zhu Pingan was speechless, looked at the two people with a wry smile, and explained: "Uncle, you have misunderstood. Pingan is not a far-fetched evidence for yesterday's emergency military situation, but a matter-of-fact analysis based on facts." (End of Chapter)
