Chapter 1489: Regret
The Japanese pirates are coming! It is a matter of family and life, and the news spread quickly throughout Yingtian City.
The peaceful life that had lasted for hundreds of years was shattered, the entire city fell into panic, and the people were in panic all day long. There was no one on the street, and there was an atmosphere of panic. Occasionally, people appeared and ran home as if to escape. Some of the people hiding at home packed their bedding with gold and silver, and were ready to leave home at any time, and some closed their doors tightly. The door was locked one after another, even In an emergency, they began to dig cellars for hiding.
The only excitement may be the gangsters on the street who are worried about the world being in chaos. They are eyeing every shop and wealthy household, and they are hard to prepare for Japanese pirate attacks. City, take advantage of the chaos, smash and loot, and make a lot of money.
Compared with ordinary people, Yingtian official circles are better informed. The three giants of Yingtian City - Zhang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, He Sui, the guard eunuch, and Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, Yingtian Guards, immediately summoned Yingtian University immediately. The principal and deputy officials of the various yamen held an emergency military meeting to discuss how to deal with the threat of Japanese pirates attacking the city in Shangyu.
The meeting was held at the Ministry of War.
For a time, the first and second leaders of the large and small yamen in Yingtian City gathered at the Ministry of War Yamen. Because the news of the Japanese pirates' killing was too important and urgent, and it was closely related to their black hats, if one could not handle it well, he would be punished. If you don't take care of yourself, your life will be at risk. Everyone shirks responsibility and blames each other, so that the Ministry of War Yamen is as noisy as a vegetable market.
“Hey, why are these damn Japanese pirates coming so soon?” Some officials gnashed their teeth and cursed. "
"Why, do we have to say hello to you before the Japanese pirates come?!" After hearing this, an official suddenly laughed.
"Haha, the Japanese pirates didn't say hello to us, but Someone greeted us. ”
An official next to him quickly took over the conversation.
“Who?” asked the last official.
"The Prosecution and Prosecution Envoy Si Jinshi - Mr. Zhu Ping'an and Mr. Zhu. Last time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Husbandry and the generals gathered for a meeting. Although I was not present, I heard that Mr. Zhu Ping'an and Zhu came to report. There was an urgent military report that Japanese pirates would attack Yingtian before the Shangyu landing. Unfortunately, no one present took it seriously. They even made it into a joke, saying something about being haunted. The news spread throughout Yingtian, causing the whole city to laugh at them. Zhu Your Excellency, "Zhao Kuo in his time, haha, it turned out that the Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu really came! It is exactly the same as the emergency military situation reported by Master Zhu three days ago!" The official glanced at several military headquarters and nearby military attachés with a smile. He sneered.
As soon as the official finished speaking, the entire meeting fell into absolute silence!
You can hear the needle drop!
Almost all the officials present were blushing, especially the officials who participated in the last meeting of the Ministry of War, their faces were so red that it was scalding. Thinking of how they laughed at Zhu Pingan, they wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl in!
Who would have thought that when Shangyu landed, the Japanese pirates would really cause a huge disturbance. Who knew that this group of Japanese pirates would be so ferocious and powerful. First, the three thousand allied troops suffered a huge defeat, and then after hiding for two days, they defeated the Jiangning camp in one fell swoop, killing three to four hundred Jiangning soldiers. Even Zhu Xiang, who was known for his military exploits, was killed on the spot. , the deputy commander Jiang Sheng, who was a martial artist, was also seriously injured, and then he captured Jiangning Town. A series of burning, killing and looting, and they went straight towards Yingtian!
What a slap in the face!
Their faces were all swollen!
Hey, say that To be honest, they also regretted it at this moment, regretting not listening to Zhu Pingan’s urgent military information!
Otherwise, why would we have come to this!
Now, it is not only their face that is a problem, but also the face of the entire Ming Dynasty!
Japanese pirates attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty! Where is the face of the Ming Dynasty, the face of the Holy Emperor? Where to go?!
This is a big deal!
After the meeting was quiet for a moment, someone sighed and said, "Hey, it's too late to say anything now. The Japanese pirates have already come over. Let's discuss countermeasures. Make up for the situation before it's too late." It’s not too late.”
"When it comes to countermeasures, what is there to say? As the saying goes, 'When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them.' If the Japanese pirates come to kill them, then just block them. We have many military camps in Yingtian. We can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Now we are using them." It’s their time, just send them.”
< br>"Master Wang, what do you mean by this? How come the Japanese pirates are all the responsibility of our barracks as soon as they come? Isn't it the responsibility of your criminal department and other yamen? I want to clean myself up at this time. Do you think it is possible?" !"
"Okay, okay, everything Just say a few words, there are intact eggs under the nest, and no one can escape the responsibility for this Japanese pirate attack."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Mr. Zhu Ping'an and Mr. Zhu must not be responsible. We reported the emergency military situation three days in advance. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it. Bai Bai These three days of precious time were wasted. If I had paid attention to Master Zhu's urgent military situation, how could I have been in trouble today?"
"I have said it, it is too late to say anything now, think about it quickly. , the Japanese pirates rushed to the city just before their eyes!"
The scene was like a flock of ducks in a vegetable market, quacking, quacking, noisy as much as possible. Some officials were so noisy that they blushed and even rolled up their sleeves.
Zhang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, came from outside together with the guarding eunuch He Sui and Yingtian guard Wei Guogong Xu Pengju, and happened to see this scene. When Zhang Jing saw the messy scene, he couldn't help but frown and scolded, "That's enough! Everyone is quiet. Everyone is an official of the imperial court. It's not appropriate to make such a noise!"
After Zhang Jing scolded, The officials at the scene immediately restrained themselves a lot, and the scene became much quieter.
He Sui, the guarding eunuch, still had a bad look on his face. He glanced at the officials at the scene with squinted eyes, raised his orchid finger and said sadly, "The Za family, Mr. Zhang and Wei Guogong have called you here for discussion. The countermeasures are not to listen to your quarrels, but to kill a mere group of Japanese pirates. Come on, I will make you lose your sense of proportion and your dignity. How can you be a man like this? How can you share the worries of the Holy One? It is better to go to the palace to serve the Holy One and the nobles."
After He Sui said something, The officials present suddenly felt a cool breeze under their crotches and subconsciously tightened their thighs.
Hearing He Sui say "castration", Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu couldn't help but think of his uneducated young son at home! This little bastard almost made himself angry to death by saying "It takes six months to give birth to a child, and a loving father castrates". This sentence reminds me of the past, and I can't help but feel itching at this moment.
Seeing that both Zhang Jing and He Sui had spoken, Wei Guogong thought about whether he should also say something. He opened his mouth and found that he didn't know what to say, so he had to cough and stop.
After the meeting was quiet, Zhang Jing and He Sui took the main seats, Wei Guogong took a seat next to him, and the other officials took their seats according to their rank.
"Everyone, now the Japanese pirates from Shangyu have broken through the Jiangning camp and captured Jiangning Town. They are killing me all the way to Yingtian. Do you have any good ideas to teach me?" He Sui couldn't help but spoke first.
Quiet.
The scene was quiet. At this critical moment, no one wanted to be the first person for fear of taking responsibility and being held accountable later. (End of this chapter)
