Chapter 1503 Are you talking humanly?
"You are thoughtful." The general looked approvingly at the beggars and gangsters who took the initiative to ask for help, and nodded without hesitation, "Since you are grateful, The prodigal son returns, how can I be a bad person and cut off your way of repaying your kindness? Your request for a fight will be approved by me."
The officials and people nearby couldn't help but nod. . Beggars still know how to repay kindness.
The local ruffian and prodigal son turned around and volunteered to fight against the Japanese pirates. This is really a good story. This world is ultimately a glorious road, and this world is ultimately my Ming Dynasty! There is still hope
!!
The positive deeds of beggars and gangsters asking for tassels to defend the city spread instantly.
Zhang Jing and other officials on the city wall soon learned the news.
“The beggar repays his kindness, and the ruffian and prodigal son turn around. Okay, okay, okay, spread the news quickly and boost morale.”
Hearing this, Zhang Jing couldn’t help but nodded. The haze of time is covered by this The good news was diluted a lot. The Japanese pirates showed off their power below the city, and the morale on the city was greatly affected. This news came at just the right time, and it was a good opportunity to boost morale. So he made a prompt decision and ordered people to spread the news around the city to encourage them. morale. "
Soon, with the promotion of Zhang Jing and others, the news spread throughout the city wall and reached the ears of every soldier and civilian guarding the city. Everyone was greatly encouraged, and the negative voices on the city wall The sound finally dropped a few points
"Yes, yes, beggars and ruffians have come to defend the city. The military morale is available. I feel a lot more at ease now." At the Ande Gate, Duke Wei showed a smile and said to the Marquis of Linhuai beside him. .
The Marquis of Linhuai also nodded, the worry on his face lessened, and he became more interested, "The beggar who knows how to repay his kindness and the ruffian who turned back are on that section of the wall. Let's go and see them. If they perform well this time, it will be a good story to give them a birth certificate after the war."
"Let's go and see them together." Wei Guogong is also interested.
So, the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai joined hands to recruit a general who was responsible for recruiting the people, and asked him which section of the city wall the beggars and ruffians were.
"Go back to the Lord, Lord Marquis." The general handed over his hands and was about to reply when he heard a loud "boom" from below the city. The city wall shook slightly. The words in the general's mouth were interrupted by this shock. .
The expressions of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis could not help but change.
"Reported that the Japanese pirates under the city put gunpowder into wine jars and threw gunpowder at the city gate. Fortunately, General Yu's magic shot prevented the Japanese pirates from getting close to the city gate, so they had to attack the city wall. The explosion just now was the gunpowder thrown by the Japanese pirates." A young soldier looked at him with a frightened look on his face, and at the same time reminded him worriedly, "Young man saw that the Japanese pirate had several more in his hand." The wine jars are probably filled with this kind of gunpowder."
"What? There are several gunpowder jars in the hands of the Japanese pirates?! If they are allowed to get close to the city gate and blast it, the city gate will be in danger?!"
People on the city wall were once again panicked, as if the city gate would be blasted by Japanese pirates anytime soon.
This news cannot be blocked. Everyone is on the city wall and can see the wine jars placed on the carriage behind the Japanese pirates.
These wine jars cast a thick layer of gloom over the city, and the crisis of city destruction lingered in everyone's mind.
It’s a lot of pressure!
Extremely terrified!
Morale dropped to freezing point again.
"Which section of the city wall are the beggars and gangsters who took the initiative to fight? Let's go and see them, reward them in advance, and encourage their morale." Wei Guogong withdrew his eyes from the Japanese pirates outside the city, with a heavy expression on his face. He looked at the general and asked again, wanting to encourage morale again by rewarding the beggar and ruffian.
"Returning to the country, the Duke and the Marquis, they are not on the city wall yet." The general replied.
"Huh? Didn't they take the initiative to ask for a fight? Why are they not on the city wall?" Linhuai Marquis asked doubtfully.
“I was about to report to the Lord that beggars and gangsters wanted to fight. They wanted to help defend in the most dangerous place, that is, at the city gate. They said that the Japanese pirates had been eyeing the Andemen gate and tried many times. Attack the city gate, so they want to help defend the city gate. If the Japanese pirates are lucky enough to break through, they will defend Ande to the death. We must not let the Japanese pirates step into Yingtian even if they die, and we cannot allow the Japanese pirates to harm any of the people of Yingtian. I cannot be the master of the humble position, so I ask you to decide how to deal with the beggars and gangsters who take the initiative to fight. "
The general clasped his fists and reported back to Wei Guogong, Linhuai Marquis, and nearby officials such as Zhang Jing, asking them to make a decision.
After hearing this, the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai twitched their eyelids and were shocked. They thought of Zhu Ping'an's instructions yesterday and looked at each other in tacit understanding. Their eyes were filled with shock, solemnity and a trace of "breaking through iron". It’s a surprise that I can find shoes anywhere and it takes no effort at all.”
"Okay! They will go wherever the danger is most. These beggars and gangsters have the style of ancient righteous men!"
After hearing the general's report, Zhang Jing and the surrounding officials couldn't help but nodded and said to the beggars He looked at the ruffian again.
“Now the Japanese pirates are trying to break through the city gate with gunpowder and wine jars, and the pressure on the city gate has increased greatly. It is the time to hire people. Since they have taken the initiative to request to help defend the city gate, what reason do we have not to agree to them? This must be a good story.”
“Yes, I second the proposal.”
The surrounding officials spoke one after another.
"Okay, then arrange them to the city gate cave and give them weapons to help defend the city gate." Zhang Jing nodded.
"Here!" The general received the order and was about to turn around and go down to make arrangements when he heard a voice coming from his ears: "No!"
"No!" Wei Guogong and the Marquis of Linhuai stopped him in unison. road.
"Huh?" Zhang Jing frowned and looked at Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis, and asked doubtfully, "Master Xu and Master Li, why did you stop them?"
"That's right, this is a good story, just for boosting morale. Why did the Duke and the Marquis ruin the scenery?!"
"Just now, the Japanese pirates used gunpowder to blow up the city gate. The city gate was in danger. They took the initiative It is a good thing to ask to stay in Chengmen Cave to help defend. There is no reason not to agree to it. Why do the Duke and the Marquis stop it? "
"The beggar repays his kindness, and the ruffian and prodigal son turn around. They asked for help in the defense at the most dangerous city gate. They refused to agree to this request. The Duke and the Marquis were a little unsatisfactory, right? Or should I say the Duke and the Marquis? Do you have better arrangements for them?"
The surrounding officials spoke one after another, accusing Wei Guogong and Linhuai Hou both overtly and covertly.
“Not only cannot we agree to them, but we must send heavy troops to guard them tightly and screen them carefully.”
The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai spoke with solemn expressions.
"What? Not only can't you agree, but you also want to imprison them?! What are the words of the Duke and the Marquis?! People are beggars who repay their kindness, and the rogue and prodigal son turns around and takes the initiative to ask for a fight. You guys Are you going to send troops to take them into custody? Please excuse me! What a disrespectful statement, are you talking about this?”
“Bullshit!”
“It’s such nonsense!”
The officials around them didn’t finish their words. He couldn't help but shook his head and interrupted them with an indignant voice.
Zhang Jing frowned and looked at Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis, but after seeing the solemn and serious expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and then frowned in thought.
Hu Zongxian, who was standing aside, noticed the unusual behavior of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis. If he was moved, he also frowned and thought.
