Chapter 1495 Let Yourself Go
The news that scouts from the south, east, and west directions found no trace of Japanese pirates within a radius of ten miles quickly spread throughout the entire Cherry Orchard Ming Army.
“Hahaha, the Japanese pirates must have heard that we were blocking the attack in front of the cherry orchard and scared them away?!”
“Well, I estimate that most of the Japanese pirates from Shangyu were scared away. Otherwise, they should have come long ago. Jiangning is so far away from the Cherry Orchard. However, it is also possible that because they heard that we were waiting here, this group of Japanese pirates took a detour to harass Yingtian."
"Don't worry, this is a pity. One Japanese pirate is worth two hundred taels. It’s money. This is what I need to get a wife.”
After hearing this, all the Ming soldiers in front of the cherry orchard couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time they felt a little pity! You must know that every Japanese pirate is worth two hundred taels of silver. Whether they were scared away or detoured, they all felt very happy. What a pity.
Of course, overall the mood is more relieved. After all, no matter how much money you have, you still have to have a life flower. If you lose your money, you can make more money, but you only have one life. If you lose your life, the game will be over.
You must know that all these Japanese pirates are talented killers who kill without blinking an eye! Killing one Japanese pirate may cost two or three brothers. No one can guarantee that one of them will not be killed. I don’t want other men to sleep with my wife, beat my children, and spend my pension and funeral expenses. So it would be best not to fight this battle.
Now that the Japanese pirates are gone, this is the best result. Without the direct threat of the Japanese pirates, everyone is relaxed.
The Ming army, who had been taking turns to have meals, became even more relaxed. Not only did they take off their shoes to roast their feet, but many people also took off their heavy, cold armor and sat slumped beside the fire, warming themselves by the fire. While eating big cakes and drinking broth, one mouthful of cakes and one mouthful of soup, the pores all over my body relaxed, and I hummed in comfort:
"Hey, don't tell me, as soon as the armor and stomach came off, my whole body felt comfortable. Not only was it relaxed, but it was also warm."
"Tsk, tsk, this broth is so fragrant, snoring, snoring and inhaling. The grease-cooked pancakes are also delicious. "
The Ming army on duty was so comfortable, and the envy and hatred of the Ming army on duty were so great that they were overwhelmed.
There was an imminent threat from Japanese pirates. Under the high pressure of the generals, the rotating Ming army was still able to be tenacious and stick to their posts. However, now there is no trace of Japanese pirates within ten miles. The Japanese pirates don’t know what happened. Did he run away or take a detour? , the threat of Japanese pirates is gone, and their hearts are beginning to become unbalanced. We are all soldiers. Why are you so comfortable roasting meat and eating meat here, while we have to freeze and starve?!
That's not fair!
As a result, the Ming army who were on duty stopped working, and began to show their jobs and work as foreigners. Some brave people even imitated the Ming army's rotation, sat down, took off their armor, and mingled with the Ming army's rotation to warm themselves and eat.
Because there were no traces of Japanese pirates within ten miles, the generals became lax and simply turned a blind eye.
Under the indulgence of the generals, the rotating Ming army became bolder and gradually merged with the rotating Ming army. There are only a handful of Ming soldiers who can carry out armed vigilance in the military formation, and they are no less precious than rare ones.
"How can we be so lax? How should we respond if Japanese pirates attack?! I also ask Mr. Zhang to order the generals at all levels to strictly control military discipline. At the same time, please send scouts to the south, west and east again to investigate. , this time the number of scouts was doubled, and the scope of exploration was expanded by another five miles."
Looking at the lax Ming army, Hu Zongxian couldn't help but frowned, and asked Mr. Zhang to control military discipline and send more scouts.
Although Mr. Zhang felt that Hu Zongxian was making a fuss out of a molehill, who asked him to be the censor, he still agreed with a wry smile and made arrangements at all levels.
The generals at all levels went to rectify military discipline, which caused a lot of noise and curses. The officers and soldiers were very rebellious and the situation was somewhat out of control. However, under the high pressure of generals at all levels, the military discipline situation has improved a lot.
Half an hour later, the three teams of scouts returned one after another, reporting that there was no trace of Japanese pirates within a radius of fifteen miles.
The Japanese pirates seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Hu Zongxian couldn't help but frowned, unfolded a map of Yingtian's surroundings, and thought hard.
Hearing that there were no traces of Japanese pirates within a radius of fifteen miles, the Ming army, which was under high-pressure control, lost control of military discipline again.
There are no Japanese pirates within a radius of fifteen miles! We are still on guard!
The high pressure of military academies at all levels cannot control the situation. The Ming army completely relaxed and began to let themselves go. They took off their armor and warmed themselves by the fire. Some Ming soldiers took off their quivers and played an arrow-throwing game. Some even played a gambling game. The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy.
Of course, military academies at all levels were also lax and turned a blind eye to this, and even generals and colonels participated in throwing arrows.
The Ming army was completely relaxed.
At this time, seven or eight fleeing people came on the road. They were dressed in tatters and there were traces of being burned by the fire on their clothes. Seeing the Ming army eating and drinking around the fire, they were really hungry. He boldly stepped forward and begged for food and drink from the Ming army, "Master Jun" , Master, okay, give me something to eat. We haven’t had a bite of food since morning and we are almost starving.”
“Gungun, this little pancake is not enough for me.” There's food here." Someone from the Ming army waved their hands to drive him away.
"Forget it, you can see that they are in trouble. It's not easy for everyone. Everyone has troubles. Come here, I have half a pancake here. You can eat together." Some people also put their hands Throw half the pancake inside.
"I have half a piece here to reward you." Several more Ming soldiers threw the remaining pancakes over.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." After the fleeing people thanked them, they scrambled for the pancakes like vicious dogs.
Seeing them fighting for pancakes like dogs, many Ming soldiers came up to watch and laughed.
“What’s going on ahead?” Hu Zongwan looked away from the map and asked with a frown.
"Sir, there are seven or eight people who have fled from Jiangning begging for food." The soldier replied.
“Give them something to eat and send them away so they don’t get in the way.” Hu Zongxian frowned.
"Yes. I will drive them away right away." The soldiers under his command responded.
"Wait." As soon as the soldier turned around, Hu Zongxian stopped him again. "
"What other orders do you have, sir?" asked his soldiers.
"Since they are fleeing from Jiangning, ask them if they saw any Japanese pirates along the way?" Hu Zongxian ordered.
“Follow your orders. "The soldiers left in response.
Soon, the soldiers walked to the front, grabbed a few cakes from the basin, and shouted to a few fleeing people, "Hey, what about you? , come here, I will ask you a question, and I will reward you with these pancakes. "
"Master, feel free to ask." The refugees stared at the pancakes.
"Did you see or hear any news about Japanese pirates along the way from Jiangning?" the soldiers asked.
“No, we didn’t see any Japanese pirates at all.”
“When the Japanese pirates from Dog Day killed people and set fire to us in Jiangning, we hid in the well in the yard and waited until there was no movement outside. Dare to climb out of the well and watch as soon as you come out When we encountered a sea of fire, we escaped from the burning yard and ran all the way. We didn’t see any Japanese pirates along the way.”
“There were no Japanese pirates along the way. If there were Japanese pirates, we wouldn’t be there.” Life.”
The fleeing people talked a lot about it.
Hearing this, the Ming army relaxed even more and let themselves go even more. (End of this chapter)
