Chapter 1727 Zhu Pingan’s Ambition
Before dawn, the losses caused by the Japanese pirates’ night attack were finally calculated, and the military camps and civilians suffered heavy losses.
Undoubtedly, the heaviest casualties were civilians. A total of 639 civilians died in this night attack (more than 200 civilians were killed by Japanese pirates, and more than 300 civilians were killed by Japanese pirates). Among those who were set on fire, about a hundred people were trampled to death by their own people while fleeing for their lives), and more than seven hundred people were injured. This was because the Zhejiang Army left by Zhu Ping'an and the Jianghuai Army of Linhuai Marquis rushed to the civilian camp in time to rescue the people, otherwise the casualties of the unarmed people would be even heavier.
The armies also suffered heavy casualties.
He Qing’s army of one thousand soldiers and horses lost 403 people in this night attack by Japanese pirates. Just like the common people, some were hacked to death by Japanese pirates, some were burned to death, and some fled for their lives. Trampled, more than two hundred One person was injured, and another seventeen people were missing. No one was alive or dead, and no corpses were found. It is unknown whether they slipped and fell into the sea or river while escaping, or they were deserters. In addition, ninety-eight military tents were burned by the Japanese pirates, and the army's food and grass were also destroyed. The Japanese pirates burned it down.
Shen Xiyi's army of one thousand soldiers and horses, in this night attack by Japanese pirates, 370 people died, more than 200 people were injured, and 21 people were missing. 85 military tents were burned by Japanese pirates, and their food and grass were also burned. of particulate matter.
Tang Kekuan's army of two thousand soldiers and horses lost 406 people dead, more than 300 wounded, 17 people missing, and 108 military tents were burned.
Yu Dayou's army of three thousand soldiers and horses suffered 398 casualties and more than 300 injuries. No one was missing. One hundred and nineteen military tents were burned.
Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua's two thousand soldiers suffered the heaviest casualties. A total of 587 people were killed in the Japanese night attack, 436 were injured, and 56 were missing. One hundred and eighty-five military tents were burned, and all the food and grass in the camp were burned.
Linhuai Marquis, provoked by Zhu Ping'an's fierce and sharp words, reluctantly implemented three or four points of the suggestions. He only ordered the patrol guards and camp gate guards to be on alert to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking at night, but even though he only implemented three or four points of the suggestions, Four points suggested that the losses of the Jianghuai Army were also the smallest among all armies. The Jianghuai Army of three thousand soldiers and horses suffered 107 casualties and more than 30 injuries. No one was missing, and only 17 military tents were burned.
Only Zhu Ping'an's Zhejiang Army camp had no casualties, no missing persons, and no military tents or supplies were burned.
After receiving the results of the Japanese pirates' night attack, Zhu Ping'an sighed, walked out of the handsome tent depressedly, sat on a country bumpkin, and blew the cold wind for a long time to cool down his angry and unfair blood. down.
These losses can actually be avoided.
If Zhao Wenhua had listened to his own advice yesterday evening and ordered all military camps to prepare for night raids by Japanese pirates, how could the military have suffered such heavy casualties and property losses?! Those who came to see the sacrifice to the sea Neither will innocent people There were such huge casualties!!
However, Zhao Wenhua, who presided over the sea sacrifice, did not take his suggestion seriously at all! Not only did he not take it seriously, he even disliked himself for interrupting him and Hu Zongxian to write the sea sacrifice Shunlie completed. Please give me a memorial.
Although Governor Zhang Jing believed that his suggestions were not nonsense, he did not take his suggestions seriously. Otherwise, even if Zhao Wenhua forcibly took away the power of sacrificing the sea and presiding over the sea by Zhao Wenhua's imperial edict, as the governor of the Jiangnan armies, Order all the troops to be on alert and be wary of night raids by Japanese pirates. Which soldier would dare not Do you listen to what he says?!
Of course, Zhang Jing cannot be blamed for being too demanding. After all, after Zhao Wenhua took away the power of worshiping the sea in the name of the imperial edict and the emperor, he really didn't want to see Zhao Wenhua's face of a villain anymore. Therefore, I no longer interfered with the matter of worshiping the sea, so as not to have any interaction with Zhao Wenhua.
However, in all of this, it was the common people and soldiers who bore the avoidable casualties.
If you had followed your own advice, been more vigilant and prepared, these casualties could have been avoided.
However, casualties that could have been avoided occurred because the superiors did not pay attention to them.
This is the reason why Zhu Pingan is angry and unjust.
This is already the second time.
Two months ago, it was the first time that dozens of Japanese pirates attacked Yingtian. It was also the same that time. I rushed to Yingtian to warn, but was ignored and even laughed at, so that history Tragedy repeats itself.
Time after time warnings were ignored.
Scenes of tragic tragedies were staged one after another. The anger and injustice accumulated in Zhu Pingan's heart made him almost unable to restrain himself. He could only step out of the tent and let the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month cool down his passionate blood.
At this time, the seed of power in Zhu Ping'an's heart had broken out of the ground and stretched out its buds.
If I am in power, I don’t have to pin my hopes on others and can give orders myself.
Since Hu Zongxian can be the governor in the future, why can't I be the governor?!
I am familiar with history and will do better than Hu Zongxian. Zhu Pingan is confident in this.
In addition, Zhu Pingan disagrees with Hu Zongxian's character. Especially after seeing him actively cooperate with Zhao Wenhua and blame Zhang Jing today, Zhu Pingan can see his character more clearly. Historically, Hu Zongxian made great contributions to the fight against the Japanese, but his reputation was not prominent and he could not be compared with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. It was precisely because of his bad conduct and poor reputation.
Zhu Pingan believed that he would do better as governor.
For Zhang Jing.
To be honest, Zhu Ping'an did not completely agree with Zhang Jing's idea of suppressing Japan.
Although Zhang Jing’s idea of suppressing Japanese is correct, this is not the only correct way of suppressing Japanese.
Insufficient troops have a strategy of playing with insufficient troops. You can actively defend, fight small battles, or concentrate limited forces to fight local battles. There is also a strategy of fighting in which local soldiers and horses have poor combat effectiveness. You can fight while fighting. Practice, practice and fight at the same time, and become successful in the fire of war
long.
Wolf soldiers do not necessarily have to be in place before the anti-Japanese campaign can be launched. How much strength, how much effort.
Zhu Pingan could not bear to stand still and sit back and watch the people being burned, killed and looted by the Japanese pirates.
In short, in Zhu Pingan’s view, Zhang Jing’s work was not good enough and was too slow.
As for Zhao Wenhua, Zhao Wenhua was first-rate in manipulating people, seizing credit, and shirking the blame. When it came to suppressing Japanese enemies, he was a million miles away from Zhao Kuo, who was an armchair strategist on paper. His command to suppress Japanese invaders was a complete disaster.
Compared to them, I can do better...
Governor of Jiangnan, I also want to compete for this position. Of course, Zhu Pingan also knows that now he has qualifications, achievements, and connections. It is far from enough to sit in this position, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, step by step, move towards this position.
Zhu Pingan stood up from the bumpkin, patted his butt, and let out a long breath.
“Hey, I want to fly into the sky and stand side by side with the sun. The world is waiting for me to change. I am never afraid of others seeing my dreams. I can realize them here...”
In the cold wind, Zhu Ping'an walked slowly towards the Chinese army commander's tent, humming a tune that was out of tune... (End of this chapter)
