Chapter 1776 All responsibilities are borne by me, Zhu Ping'an
"Sir, are you going to the city? This is great, can you take us with you?"
Crowded at the city gate When the people in front heard Zhu Pingan's words, they couldn't help but become excited.
"Great, great, the marshal is coming to the city. We are saved, and we can follow him into the city."
"Make way, give way, give way quickly."
The common people became excited, cheering like a drowning man encountering a piece of driftwood.
Zhu Pingan shook his head and was about to speak. When the people saw Zhu Pingan shaking his head, the smiles and excitement on their faces withered. However, they could not bear to be disappointed, and they all rushed to cry and beg. :
“My lord , If it doesn’t work, you can just bring my baby in. My baby is only two years old and she hasn’t seen this colorful world yet. I still have my mother-in-law and I won’t go in. I just ask you to bring my baby in.”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sir, please bring my wife in Well, I have long disliked this woman. I can divorce her now and let her warm your bed and serve you tea. Just, just, don’t sell her to those dirty places."< br>
"Sir, please bring my mother in, I am unfilial Son, I have always lived a simple life and have never had much to show my filial piety to my mother. However, my life was given by my mother. I cannot let my mother follow me here and wait for death. Please take my mother into the city. Come on, I’ll give you all the money I have.”
The common people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, held up their milk babies, took out their money bags, and begged in various ways.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, please get up quickly. I am not here to enter the city, but to send you into the city." Zhu Pingan quickly stepped forward to help the old man beside him and shouted to the people kneeling on the ground. said.
"Huh? What? You are not here to enter the city, but to take us into the city?"
"Come to take us into the city?!"
" Really? You don’t want to go to the city?”
After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, all the people opened their mouths in surprise, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
This is unreasonable!
No Sister Li!
The Japanese pirates are coming. Everyone wants to hide in Suzhou City, where the city is high and the pond is deep. You don’t want to go in? ! At this critical moment, you are not here to enter the city, but to send us into the city? !
Real or fake? !
Are you so noble? !
People looked at Zhu Pingan suspiciously.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way, let him pass! You don’t care whether he is real or fake, if it is real, then we have met a good official who truly makes decisions for the people, if it is fake Yes, then we won’t suffer any loss. When they enter the city, we will follow them in.”
A man shouted.
"My enemy, my enemy, that's the reason. Let's get out of the way for him quickly."
People thought it made sense, and quickly opened a path for Zhu Ping'an, leading directly to the city gate.
"Fathers and fellow citizens, please be patient." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to the common people and walked quickly towards the city gate.
"Prefect Su is above the city. I'm here, Zhu Ping'an. I need to see you if I have something to do." Zhu Ping'an came to the city gate, raised his head and shouted.
"Master Zhu, I am on the city." Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou, stuck his head out from the top of the city.
"Master Zhu, the Japanese pirates are coming. Your Zhejiang army is not on guard at Fengqiao Camp. What are you doing here? Master Zhu, are you going to the city?" The head of the Ministry of War of Suzhou Prefecture followed closely. He asked out of his head first.
Everyone in the city looked at Zhu Ping'an
"Prefect Shang, gentlemen, I am not here to enter the city. Our Zhejiang army will not enter the city. I am here for the tens of thousands of people below the city. Come."
Zhu Pingan shook his head vigorously, pointed with his right hand at the people below the city, and replied seriously.
"Ah? You are not going into the city? Are you here for the people below the city?"
Suzhou Magistrate Shang Wei and a group of officials and soldiers were stunned. Everyone was in disbelief. His mouth opened wide, never expecting that Zhu Ping'an was not going to the city but for the people below the city.
"Master Zhu, are you here for the people below the city? What do you mean by this?" Magistrate Shang asked quickly.
"Please also ask the magistrate Shang to open the city gate and let the people outside the city into the city." Zhu Pingan said with his hand.
“No, no, absolutely not!”
“If the Zhejiang army under Lord Zhu’s command enters the city, it’s okay, but it’s absolutely impossible to let the people into the city!”
"City There are so many people outside who cannot enter the city for a while. If the Japanese pirates come and seize the opportunity, who can bear the responsibility? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Mr. Zhu, we are responsible for their lives. .”
Before Suzhou Magistrate Wei Wei could speak, a group of subordinate officials around him couldn't wait to object loudly.
Zhifu Shang looked at Zhu Pingan with a troubled expression. Although he did not speak, his meaning was self-evident from his expression.
“Please rest assured, Lord Shang and all of you, our Zhejiang army will be arrayed outside the city and are waiting. If the Japanese pirates come, they must first step on the corpse of our Zhejiang army. We will fight to the death to stop the Japanese pirates. Leave enough time for the city gate to be closed."
"In order to let the people into the city as soon as possible, please ask Master Shang to open it. A city gate was opened in the east, south and north for people to enter the city. Our Zhejiang army assigned four hundred soldiers to each city gate to stand in line three hundred meters in front of the city gate, vowing to stop the Japanese pirates to the death."
"Our Zhejiang army. Pay close attention to the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are still half an hour away. This time is enough for the people to enter the city. "
"With our Zhejiang army blocking the outside of the city, we will not give the Japanese pirates a chance to seize the door. It will not be too late to close the door when the time comes."
Zhu Ping'an said loudly as he raised his hands towards the city.
After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, Magistrate Shang was obviously moved, but a group of officials nearby held objections.
"Zhejiang has few soldiers, can they stop the Japanese pirates?"
"The Japanese pirates came and ran away on horseback. Didn't they sell us? Please ask the governor to save the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. For the sake of your surname, please don’t open the door.”
A group of subordinate officials objected one after another.
"Sir Shang, gentlemen, we all rely on the common people for food, clothing and salary, how can we ignore the life and death of the common people?! The Japanese pirates are still twenty miles away, and there is still time to open the door and let the common people into the city. I The Zhejiang army formed a formation outside the city, vowing to fight to the death against the Japanese pirates. Don't let any Japanese pirates pass before the gate is closed."
"I am willing to guarantee it with my head! I, Zhu Pingan, will bear all the responsibilities!"
Zhu Pingan pointed to his neck. Head, shouting outside the city, the veins on the neck bulged.
"Okay! Mr. Zhu has taken this responsibility, and I am not an eggless person even if I am still alive! My head will be your guarantee together!"
"Open the city gate! Open the east, south and north city gates! Invite the people into the city!" After hearing this, Shang Wei hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, slapped the city wall hard, and ordered loudly despite the objections of his subordinate officials!
