Chapter 1879 Entering the City
Zhifu Shang followed Zhu Ping'an's suggestion and immediately sent people to post notices in the city to recruit chariots, horses and young people.
As soon as the people in the city heard that they were assisting the Zhejiang Army in cleaning up the battlefield, they became excited and signed up to participate.
In a short time, tens of thousands of people signed up. There was even an old woman leading her son by the ear and escorting him to the notice to sign up.
"Mom, be gentle, be gentle, I didn't say I won't sign up. Why did you bother to escort me to sign up? Let the neighbors see and laugh at us."
The eldest and thickest son gasped for air and begged his mother to be gentle.
"The survival of our entire city depends on Mr. Zhu and the others. Now Mr. Zhu and the others are winning the battle outside and need help cleaning up the battlefield. You, a heartless bastard, turned around after hearing the announcement. The family is running away, it’s really unfortunate for the family, old man Why did my mother give birth to a heartless bastard like you? If you weren’t the only one in the family, I would have cleaned up the house at all costs.”
The old woman was angry and annoyed, and couldn’t help but squeeze hard again. His son's ears, while gritting his teeth and cursing.
“My mother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I ran home to ask Lao Wangtou to borrow a car. Lao Wang is a lonely old bachelor with a big car at home. He has inconvenient legs and feet, so he definitely can’t help. The Zhejiang army swept the battlefield, and his The car was idle, so I asked him to borrow the car to help my benefactor, Mr. Zhu, clean the battlefield."
When the big and rough man heard this, he quickly shouted that he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained the reason why he turned around and went home. out.
"I couldn't have explained it earlier. What's more, you old bachelor, don't talk about Uncle Wang like that, it's so unpleasant."
After hearing this, the old woman pinched her son's ear hard again, and then the son screamed in pain. He let go of his hand.
"I'm telling the truth. He was originally an old bachelor." The tall and thick man said with a frown.
"You are not allowed to tell the truth. You have to call me Uncle Wang. Okay, hurry up and go to your Uncle Wang to borrow a cart! I will make a dish for your Uncle Wang later and thank him properly for you." The old woman glared at her son and urged.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." The tall and thick man reluctantly agreed under the pressure of the old woman.
"Hurry up, there are a lot of people signing up. If you can't get in line, go back and see how I deal with you!" the old woman urged.
The five big and three thick men immediately started running.
There are countless people in the city who responded so actively to the recruitment. They are fighting for one spot.
While the people in the city were actively responding to the recruitment, the prefect in the city was still verifying relevant information with Zhu Pingan.
Zhifu Shang asked very carefully, and Zhu Ping'an answered very carefully. He answered truthfully and answered fluently.
After some questions and answers, Magistrate Shang's trust in Zhu Pingan skyrocketed.
Of course, after experiencing the king’s traitor who lured the Japanese into the city, Shang Zhifu also learned a lesson. In order to verify the authenticity of the Japanese pirate captives, Shang Zhifu also ordered ten of his confidants to be hung down with baskets, so as to ensure that the Japanese pirates were authentic. Check and identify among the captives.
After the ten cronies went down, they carefully inspected and identified the prisoners.
In fact, it can be seen at a glance that these Japanese pirate captives are really all bald and have bald heads. Their hair is not newly shaved, and there is no new stubble. If you look carefully, you can tell them apart. Among them, there are real Japanese and fake Japanese. The bald Tsukiyo hair style of Shinwa is more natural, while the hair of fake Wa is cut on the top of the head and the spine is pulled back. Their Tsukiyo hair is different from that of Shinwa. It is a bit abrupt and not natural enough. In addition, the height of Shinwa is common. They are shorter, half a head or even a head shorter than the fake Japanese. Also, because the real Japanese speak bird language, the outline of their mouth muscles is obviously different from that of Akito.
Whether it is a real Japanese or a fake, the Japanese clothes are in tatters, and there are many traces of being burned by fire on the hair, face, and body.
These are consistent with the Zhejiang Army's victory. The Zhejiang Army relied on fire attacks to achieve this great victory.
All the Japanese pirates were tied very firmly, like hairy crabs, and couldn't be any stronger. Many Japanese pirates' hands and feet were injured because they were tied too tightly.
The ten cronies all started to pull hard, and it was really tight. They tried their best to pull, but they couldn't tear it off. The Japanese prisoner gasped in pain and gasped. It's not like the traitor Wang tied up the Japanese pirates and escaped easily.
They also checked the Japanese pirate weapons captured by the Zhejiang Army and carefully confirmed that these captured weapons were all genuine weapons commonly used by Japanese pirates. Most of them were Japanese swords, mixed with some tachi, Kusanagi swords, long bows, and fire weapons. Guns and so on.
Ten of the magistrate's confidants checked again and again, even isolated the Zhejiang army, interrogated several Japanese pirates, and interrogated the situation of today's battle, and finally came to the conclusion that these Japanese pirates were genuine Japanese prisoners. , there was no pretense, Master Zhu really commanded the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army and achieved a great victory.
After ten trusted aides confirmed that the Japanese prisoners were correct, they were hoisted back to the city wall in a basket and reported back to the magistrate.
The reason why they returned to the city wall and resumed their lives was to prevent them from being controlled by the Zhejiang Army, which was not sincere.
After receiving the confirmation reply from his confidants, Magistrate Shang immediately felt relieved. Confirming that the victory was correct, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered:
"Quickly, quickly, open the door quickly, and open the four-open door. Open, welcome Mr. Zhu and the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers into the city."
"Celebrating. Is the banquet ready? Chief Zhang, hurry up and get ready. As soon as Zihou and the Zhejiang Army soldiers enter the city, we will take them to a celebration banquet. We need to prepare a lot of good meat, wine and dishes for the banquet. There are also a variety of snacks and fruits that need to be prepared. It is better not to eat them all by then, than not to have enough. ”
"Also, the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army who came to report the victory, please quickly invite them out and join the Zhejiang Army in the city."
After the governor Shang gave the order, the gate of Suzhou City creaked open soon after. Yes, open it to the maximum.
"Zihou, please come in." Magistrate Shang led Vice General Zhang and a group of subordinate officials from Suzhou City out of the city to welcome Zhu Ping'an and his entourage.
Zhu Pingan shook his head and did not enter immediately.
Zhifu Shang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhu Ping'an was a little angry that they didn't open the city gate to welcome him immediately.
However, the next second, Zhu Pingan's words made him feel ashamed for his thoughts.
"Shang Zhifu, for the sake of safety, it is better to take the prisoners into the city first and put them in a prison for custody."
Zhu Ping'an bowed his hand to Shang Zhifu and pointed to the string behind him. The Japanese pirates captured him and said so.
"It makes sense, it makes sense, what Zihou said is absolutely true, where is the person in the prison room? Clean up the prison quickly, cooperate with the Zhejiang army to imprison the Japanese pirate prisoners in the prison, send more manpower, and monitor them strictly. There must be no mistakes!"
Zhifu Shang nodded repeatedly and quickly arranged for the prison officials to cooperate with the Zhejiang army to put the Japanese pirates into prison. (End of chapter)
