Chapter 1878: The first achievement in the southeast
While conspiracy theories among the soldiers on the city wall were rampant, a discordant voice appeared:
“You are really trying to win heroes with a useless heart. belly, why can’t Mr. Zhu be really big? What about returning from victory? General Wang, no, it is certainly doubtful that Wang Zhao will return from victory, but isn’t it normal for Master Zhu to return from victory? In the battle of Fengqiao Camp, Master Zhu wiped out tens of thousands of people. Japanese pirates! Don’t say you didn’t see them on the city wall. The Japanese pirates are everywhere. There was a river of blood and corpses in front of the Fengqiao camp!”
“Wang traitor lured the Japanese pirates into the city and deceived all of us, including the prefect. But Master Zhu, Wang traitor returned. I had already predicted it before leaving the city. When Suzhou City was about to fall, I had to fight with them. The Japanese pirates fought bloody battles, annihilated the Japanese pirates in the city, repelled the Japanese pirates outside the city, and saved the city of Suzhou."
"Master Zhu is both civil and military, and can plan and fight well. With Master Zhu's strategy and ability, he won a great victory. Isn’t it normal to come back?”
As soon as this voice came out, the conspiracy theories that were buzzing on the city walls suddenly fell silent.
Yes.
Why can't it be Mr. Zhu who returns from a great victory? !
Master Zhu is a weakling in his youth, he is the number one scholar in high school, and he is proficient in military affairs. It is as if Zhuge Liang was still alive. The Japanese pirates were raging in the south of the Yangtze River. Every place suffered setbacks. There were few successes. Even if there were successes, they would not be successful. It was just a few or dozens of people. Master Zhu killed tens of thousands of Japanese pirates in front of the Fengqiao Camp. He also solved the Suzhou City in time. Under everyone's eyes, he annihilated the Japanese pirates in the city and beat them away. Foreign pirates!
It is indeed normal for Mr. Zhu to return from a great victory.
After all, the Japanese pirates in their heyday were no match for Master Zhu, and the Japanese pirates who fled were even less worthy of Master Zhu.
Thinking of this, all the defenders on the city wall couldn't help but nod their heads, and the popular conspiracy theory was replaced by "Master Zhu's bullshit".
"Master Zhu, we have invited the messenger soldiers sent by your army into the city to entertain them with delicious food and drinks."
The deputy general on the city clasped his fists humbly to the people below the city. Zhu Pingan said.
"Why don't you invite me to the city for good food and drinks? It's nice to say it, but I've been controlled by you and interrogated."
Liu Dadao said dissatisfied.
“Ahem, it’s not an interrogation, it’s a consultation. When we heard the news about your army’s victory, we were overjoyed and excited. We couldn’t help but want to know more details, so we asked more specific questions. "
The deputy general's explanation was red-faced, his voice was not very convincing, and his confidence was seriously lacking.
"Ask for advice? Have you asked for advice like this?"
Liu Dadao sneered and wanted to say something else. Zhu Pingan waved his hand, interrupting his next complaint.
"Vice General Zhang, there is no need to explain. It is related to the safety of Suzhou City. No matter how cautious and cautious it is, we Zhejiang Army are all cooperating. Now that the Japanese remnants and ambush troops have retreated, we have plenty of time. Suzhou has great atmosphere, I believe you will I won’t treat my brothers badly,” Zhu Pingan said with a smile.
According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the Japanese prisoners, the reconnaissance sentries arranged by Zhu Pingan had detected the whereabouts of the Japanese ambush. The Japanese ambush had withdrawn from the ambush when the sun set, without looking back. He ran towards Tuolin.
Now, Suzhou City is safe and there is plenty of time.
"Thank you, Master Zhu, for your understanding. Don't worry, Master Zhu. We will treat your brothers in the army as our honored guests, and we will treat you with good wine, meat and delicious food." The deputy general wiped the sweat from his forehead and expressed his gratitude again and again. thank.
While Lieutenant General Zhang was blushing and wiping sweat, Zhifu Shang came all the way. He congratulated Zhu Ping'an with a look of great joy, "Hahahaha, congratulations, Zihou, congratulations on fighting against the Japanese again. A great victory and a great victory. To be honest, our jaws almost dropped when we got the news. . When you left the city, I was worried about your safety and tried to dissuade you again and again. Now that I think about it, it was really a trick. In fact, I thought that Zihou and you might come back victorious, but I never dreamed that you would come back victorious. To be able to achieve such a great victory is truly the greatest achievement in the Southeast!”
To be honest, Magistrate Shang is still suspicious of Zhu Pingan. Of course, he does not doubt that Zhu Pingan surrendered to the Japanese pirates like the traitor Wang did, but he doubts that Zhu Pingan's military exploits this time have a certain degree of merit.
Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River was so serious that it could even be said to be corrupt. Various places were repeatedly plundered by Japanese pirates, and the people were in dire straits. Governments in various places suffered defeats, and even major defeats were common, and very few achieved victory.
As for a great achievement like Zhu Ping'an's, it has never happened in a hundred years.
Being able to capture dozens of Japanese pirates, or even several Japanese pirates, is worthy of special mention by the officials from various places.
The military exploits achieved by Zhu Ping'an and the others were so great that the sword was measured in units of ten thousand, and even a Japanese chieftain was captured.
So scary!
How can people not doubt such a great achievement?
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Palace has given me such an award, and I really feel unworthy of it." Zhu Ping'an waved his hand modestly.
"Zi Hou, there is no need to be modest. After the verification is completed, I will report the facts to the Holy Spirit to express your merits."
Shang Zhifu said, stroking his beard.
"Thank you, Lord Fu." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Okay, Zihou, for the sake of safety, we need to verify and screen your army." Magistrate Shang changed the topic back.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu Zun, no matter what the verification and screening, we will fully cooperate." Zhu Pingan expressed his attitude immediately. After expressing his attitude, Zhu Pingan handed over his hand to the magistrate Shang and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Fu , please organize a group of people in the city while verifying and screening Chariots, horses, and young men will accompany our army to clean up the battlefield. "
There is no way, the Kunshan battlefield is too big and chaotic, and the lethality of our own fire is too great, and the river is full of water. There were burned warships and Japanese pirate corpses, and the river was almost blocked.
There is also that forest. The fire has not been extinguished until now. I don’t know how many Japanese pirates were burned to death in it.
The two main battlefields have been cleaned up. There are too few people like the Zhejiang Army alone. I don’t know how long it will take to clean up.
There were no water purifiers in ancient times. People in this era mostly relied on well water and river water to meet their daily drinking needs. There were so many Japanese pirate corpses in the rivers. If the salvage was slow, wouldn’t it be serious pollution? A source of water for the common people.
The same applies to that forest. If possible, it is better to organize manpower to put out the fire, lest the fire cannot be controlled and spread to surrounding villages and towns, seriously affecting the lives of ordinary people.
That’s why Zhu Ping’an asked Magistrate Shang to organize some young men, chariots and horses to clean up the battlefield. (End of this chapter)
