Chapter 1972: Mysterious Confidence
Soon, Magistrate Zhao ordered the silver in the box to be distributed to everyone in the audience, one tael of silver to each person.
"Master, is one tael of silver per person per day too much? One day is three thousand taels, ten days is thirty thousand taels, and one month is ninety thousand taels. This is too much... With the current market conditions, giving them one penny a day is enough."
While the money was being distributed, a servant from the old house came to Magistrate Zhao and reminded him in a low voice.
Sir, you sold your old house and ancestral land in Hangzhou to get together one day's salary today. According to what you said, one tael of silver a day, how are they going to collect the salary in the future? Master, you have saved a lot of money during your years as a prefect. You have other houses and fields in Hangzhou and Shaoxing, but they are not enough to build like this. Will you not be able to survive in the future? ! There are so many servants, you can’t support them anymore.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it only takes a day." Magistrate Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly.
Ah?
What do you mean by this?
What do you mean it only lasts a day?!
The old servant was stunned, his brain seemed to be frozen. Aren't we going to recapture Jiaxing City? Although I don't know about military affairs, I also know that attacking a city is not something that happens overnight, especially with three thousand of us. Most of them are ordinary people who have never touched a sword or a gun. Gather the people and practice for a period of time before the war. It will take a few months at least. There is also the siege. It is one of the largest and most fortified cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if we do it quickly, it will take ten and a half days. Yue, how can one day be enough?
"You don't have to worry about it, I will take care of everything."
Zhifu Zhao patted the old servant on the shoulder with an inscrutable look on his face, saying that everything is under my control.
Uh, why does the master look so mysteriously confident? Back then, he was guarding the huge city of Jiaxing, with thousands of regular troops under his command, but they were all attacked by 400 Japanese pirates. Now the offensive and defensive momentum is easy. We From defending the city to attacking the city, his subordinates are only a thousand old. Weak, sick and disabled guardsmen plus two thousand people, this seems impossible. How can the master look so mysteriously confident?!
The CPU of the old servant is burning up and smoking. , I have lived for fifty years, and I have eaten several jars of salt, but I still can’t figure it out.
When the money was distributed, Magistrate Zhao stood on the high platform and raised his arms in high spirits, "Okay, everyone has received today's salary. Now, listen to my order, let's move the army and attack. At the foot of Jiaxing City! When we arrived at the foot of Jiaxing City, we buried pots to make rice. Have a good sleep, recharge your batteries, and attack the city with an army early the next morning! I will lead you to defeat the Japanese pirates, regain Jiaxing, and rescue hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaxing City! I will create history, and you will create it with me History, we will leave a mark in history together!”
Everyone in the audience, who had just collected their money, was smiling happily. After hearing Magistrate Zhao's order, their jaws dropped in shock.
Holy shit!
Did my ears break? What did I hear just now?!
The prefect is going to take us straight to Jiaxing City. The next morning We have long wanted to attack the Japanese pirates and recapture Jiaxing?!
Isn’t it? ! With just three thousand of us?! A thousand old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and two thousand ordinary people who haven’t practiced for a day?! We just put down our hoes yesterday and only touched weapons today? !
You are not taking us to recover Jiaxing, are you taking us to give heads to the Japanese pirates?!
Leave a name in the history of history, but leave a stupid name in the history of unofficial history, right? !
Suddenly, everyone felt that the one or two pieces of silver in their hands was very hot. This was not salary, it was clearly money for selling their lives, and they almost couldn't help but throw the pieces of silver out of their hands.
"Sir, we have to practice for at least ten days and a half. Once we are familiar with the battle formations, shall we go to settle accounts with the Japanese pirates?"
"Sir, don't be impulsive, we have to take a long-term approach."< br>
"Sir, think twice. We have heard that the Japanese pirates in Jiaxing City not only recruited nearly 10,000 people on the spot, but also transferred more than 5,000 elite Japanese pirates from their lair in Tuolin. In total, they have 15,000 soldiers and horses. ,we There are only three thousand people. Isn’t this an egg against a stone? Sir, you have to think twice!”
Everyone in the audience quickly persuaded you, even if you are seeking death, please don’t take us with you. We don’t want to. die.
“No need to say any more, I have made my decision, and the army will set off immediately. Anyone who does not respect my orders will be killed without mercy! This is a military order. It should be noted that military orders are like a mountain falling. It is not a child's play. Don't blame me. I didn’t warn you!”
Zhifu Zhao pulled out the sword from his waist with a clatter, swung it hard, and without hesitation, he shouted at everyone in the audience.
“Ah?! No, right now?! The army is about to leave now?!”
"We have just been summoned. We haven't even practiced for a day. We have just put down our hoes and touched our weapons, and we are about to start?!"
"Are we rushing to reincarnate?"
We have boarded a pirate ship and cannot get off. Everyone in the audience couldn't help but send 10,000 cordial greetings to Magistrate Zhao.
"Hmph! I'm not afraid of anything, so what do you have to be afraid of?! My life is not a hundred times more valuable than yours?! Listen up, from this moment on, no matter what, Whether it is a march or a siege, this The officers will take the lead and be the first to charge! You just follow my footsteps!"
"If I don't take the lead, you are allowed to disrespect my orders and even retreat and escape!"
"However, I have made ugly remarks from the front. As long as I take the lead, you must follow in my footsteps and charge into the battle together. If you retreat without authorization or patrol against the former, no matter who you are, you will be killed without mercy!"
Zhao! The prefect stood on the high platform and scolded generously with a look of death on his face. He swore that he would lead the charge and charge into the battle. He asked everyone to follow his footsteps. If they don't follow, they will be killed without mercy!
Follow your footsteps together? !
Holy shit!
Do you want us to bury you with you?!
Everyone in the audience once again gave 10,000 cordial greetings to Magistrate Zhao and his family, again without the same kind of greetings.
"We are the teachers of justice, and the Japanese pirates are the teachers of evil. Heaven is above, the Holy Spirit is above, justice will prevail!"
Zhifu Zhao, dressed in majesty and honor, pulled out his sword and shouted. With a loud voice, he stepped off the stage, got on his horse, and took the lead.
"Supervise the team, and anyone who fails to follow my lead will be killed without mercy!" Magistrate Zhao ordered on the horse.
As the personal soldiers of Magistrate Zhao, one hundred Japanese pirates were naturally appointed by him to supervise the battle team. These one hundred Japanese pirates were also the confidence for him to control these three thousand mobs.
"If not, kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The Japanese pirate team pulled out their swords and shouted kill again and again.
"Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend, let's just follow him first. Didn't the prefect say that there are still charges along the way, and he has to be at the front. If he is not at the front, we can retreat. Or even run away? ! ”
“Just go ahead. I don’t believe that when we get to Jiaxing City, he can be at the front when we attack the city. As long as he is not at the front, we will just grease our feet and run away. ”< br>
"Okay."
Everyone in the audience surrendered. (End of this chapter)
