Chapter 1918 Why should she disagree
Luo Longwen is indeed Yan Shifan’s iron leg. Not long after Yan Shifan returned home, Luo Longwen took the contents of Suzhou Prefecture’s victory report copied from the General Affairs Department. He ran all the way into Yan's mansion.
Luo Longwen's work efficiency is simply top-notch, especially his attitude of executing Yan Shifan's orders as an imperial edict, which is the best among all licking dogs.
It’s true that Yan Shifan went to his house from time to time to help him comfort his lovely wives and concubines.
"East Building, Suzhou's good news has been transcribed, word for word." Luo Longwen handed the copied good news to Yan Shifan with both hands, looking like a good dog holding back the Frisbee and waiting for its owner to perform.
"Yes, can someone else send someone to send the transcript?" Yan Shifan asked.
"I sent people to deliver them to everyone before they left the General Affairs Office, and now I have almost received them all."
Luo Longwen said with a look of praise.
“Not bad.”
Yan Shifan satisfied him and praised him.
Suddenly, Luo Longwen felt refreshed and refreshed, as if he had drank some fairy wine. He felt like he could go back and forth to the General Affairs Department without losing his breath.
"You can greet yourself as you like, I'll take a look at the contents of the good news first."
Yan Shifan waved his hand, indicating to Luo Longwen to greet him, and he sat down to read the contents of the good news.
Yan Shifan frowned while reading the content of the good news, and finally put the good news aside with a gloomy expression.
The content of the victory report is more detailed, describing in detail the beginning and end of the Suzhou self-defense counterattack. Zhu Pingan did not achieve the 40,000 victory in one battle, but achieved it in several consecutive battles. The Zhejiang army achieved such a brilliant victory. , for two main reasons.
First, when the Japanese pirates attacked Fengqiao Camp, the Zhejiang Army buried a large amount of gunpowder in front of the position, killing all ten thousand Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.
The second is that the Japanese pirates were careless when they retreated, and were ambushed by Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan used fire to attack, and burned to death 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese pirates in the river and in the woods. Only a few hundred remnants of the Japanese escaped in embarrassment. One life.
Yan Shifan touched his chin with one hand and knocked on the table with the other. He was still skeptical about the content of Suzhou's good news.
This good news seems to be self-explanatory and seems to make sense, but if you examine it carefully, you will find many unreasonable things in it.
Can an explosion kill tens of thousands of Japanese pirates? !
How big of a hole would you have to dig and how much explosives would you need to bury? ! Can explosives be so powerful? !
If it is so powerful and can achieve such results, why has gunpowder been around for hundreds of years and has never had such a huge destructive effect? No matter in history books or unofficial history, there is no record of gunpowder injuring more than 100 people in one explosion. It is even more ridiculous to say that one explosion can kill nearly 10,000 Japanese pirates!
Also, when the Japanese pirates retreated, they were ambushed by Zhu Pingan, and twenty or thirty thousand people were burned to death by Zhu Pingan? !
The Zhejiang army under Zhu Ping'an's command only has 2,000 people. Even if there are conspiracies and tricks to ambush the Japanese pirates, how much advantage can they take? !
Burn twenty or thirty thousand people to death in one fire? !
Even if the Japanese pirates are as stupid as pigs, it is impossible for twenty or thirty thousand of them to be burned to death in a fire. Wouldn't they run away? !
Twenty to thirty thousand Japanese pirates fled, and Zhu Ping'an only had two thousand men. How could he stop them? !
Even Zhuge Liang, who was as smart as a demon and a master of arson, had two to three thousand Liu Bei's troops and set fire to Bowang Slope, but he only killed more than a thousand Cao's troops.
Zhu Pingan actually burned to death 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese pirates? ! He is dozens of times better than Zhuge Liang. Is this possible?
No matter how you look at it, Yan Shifan feels that the good news is quite problematic and unreasonable.
Soon, Yan Maoqing and others rushed over. Yan Song and his son called on each other. Naturally, they did not dare to delay. They didn't even sit in the sedan, and they rushed over all the way.
"You have all received the copy of Suzhou's good news. What do you think of this good news?" Yan Shifan asked them what they thought.
"There is definitely a problem with this good news! It's not a small problem. This time, Zhu Ping'an will suffer a big fall!" Yan Maoqing said without hesitation.
"Yes, there must be something wrong. I have been in Jiangnan for half a year and have fought against Japanese pirates. Japanese pirates are famous for being fierce and good at fighting. I am not afraid of your jokes. Three thousand of us fought against more than 500 Japanese pirates. Everyone who was killed by the Japanese pirates fell on their backs. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been killed by the Japanese pirates. Let's talk about this good news in Suzhou. It's just nonsense. Let alone 40,000 Japanese pirates, even 400 Japanese pirates are not an easy task."
"Zhu Ping'an first used gunpowder to kill the enemy. Thousands of Japanese pirates?! Burning about 30,000 Japanese pirates to death! This is a memorial, no, even a traditional Chinese novel would not dare to write it like this."
It immediately resonated with everyone.
"My brother-in-law is from the War Bureau. He manages firearms. When I received the copy of the good news, my brother-in-law happened to come to my house to deliver a boxing gift. I specifically asked him if he could bury gunpowder to kill tens of thousands of people. He Very sure He shook his head. He said that the power of gunpowder is limited, and it mostly scares people, but rarely kills people. Even if the Jin people's thunder thunder is recorded in history books, it is far from enough. Point it, the cannon fires, and its sound Like thunder, it can be heard hundreds of miles away, covering half an acre of fire, and the fire can penetrate all the armor and iron.' But it is an exaggeration, and it cannot hurt dozens of people. Now there are improved thunderbolts in the military warfare bureau, which are claimed to be better than gold. Human beings are much more powerful, but their power is also But in that case, when the enemies gather together, it will kill more than a hundred people, and it will be inconvenient to use. If it is buried underground, its power will be greatly reduced. "An official has obviously done his homework, and it makes sense. It is clear and logical.
After hearing this, Yan Shifan nodded approvingly.
With this precedent, everyone will speak in more detail and with more evidence.
While listening to people's opinions, Yan Shifan arranged for Luo Longwen to record everyone's opinions.
While Yan Shifan and others were discussing, another regular guest, or uncle-in-law, came to the Yan Mansion - Ouyang Zishi.
Ouyang Zishi brought a servant, and the servant came to the door carrying a gift.
"My parents agreed, why should she disagree!"
Ouyang Zishi came to the door angrily. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the backyard of Yan's mansion.
He couldn't be more familiar with Yan's Mansion. He drove along the familiar road and soon arrived at the backyard of Yan's Mansion.
The servants in charge of Yan's Mansion are also very familiar with Ouyang Zishi. Ouyang Zishi often came to Yan's Mansion when he was a child. Although he came less when he grew up, Ouyang Zishi did not come less during this period, even Yan Song and his son. They all tacitly allowed Ouyang Zishi to enter and leave the backyard freely, so naturally these servants would not stop Ouyang Zishi without being quick-sighted.
What's more, Ouyang Zishi is definitely the son-in-law of the Yan family. The two families have agreed and the ceremony will be made soon.
A son-in-law and half a son is also their master. It is too late for them to please Ouyang Zishi. (End of this chapter)
