Liu Mu searched the bodies of the two civilians and confirmed that they were not carrying weapons. At Zhu Pingan's signal, Liu Mu went to stand guard, leaving the two civilians with Zhu Pingan.
After the two ordinary people got the opportunity to be alone with Zhu Pingan, they couldn't wait to inform Zhu Pingan of the emergency.
"Master Governor, I am the chief of the seventh armor of our Dongshan Village. There is a young man in our village, that is, the fourth child. His nephew deceived his master and killed his ancestors and joined the Japanese pirates. Last night he gave We received news that it was the Japanese pirate king Xu Hai, until our Zhejiang implemented the ten After the House Gate Protection Law was implemented, he was very angry and said that the governor was cutting off their basic knowledge. Xu Hai would attack the villages and towns that had implemented the Ten Household Gate Protection Law tomorrow. He said that we would kill all our chickens and dogs without leaving any trace. ! "
A thin common man said anxiously.
"Sir, our Dongshan Village is also a model village. My nephew said that our village is one of the targets of the Japanese pirates. If I hadn't taken good care of this nephew in the past, my nephew couldn't bear to look at our family. He died in revenge of the Japanese pirates. He secretly came over to me overnight and told me to hurry up. I took my family and children out of the village and hid. My family members and my seven aunts and eight aunts were all in the village. How could I live alone? The village chief asked us to report to the governor immediately.”
Another commoner said immediately.
“The Japanese pirates are trying to destroy the ten-household protection law.” After listening to the complaints of two ordinary people, Zhu Pingan immediately understood that Xu Hai was trying to scare the monkeys and threaten the people in Zhejiang in an attempt to destroy the ten-household protection law. .
"Please, Lord Governor, you must save our village. The Japanese pirates will come tomorrow."
Two ordinary people knelt down and prayed hurriedly.
"Please hurry up and protect the people within the territory. It is my duty. I will protect your village."
Zhu Pingan quickly helped them up and assured them.
"Thank you, Mr. Governor. Thank you, Mr. Governor." After hearing Zhu Ping'an's assurance, the two ordinary people thanked him repeatedly.
"Do you know which villages and towns the Japanese pirates will attack again?" Zhu Pingan asked slowly after calming the two of them.
“Shangpo Village, our neighboring village, is also their target. As for the other villages and towns, we don’t know. My nephew didn’t say anything. He only said that they were going to kill the villages and towns that modeled the implementation of the ten-household protection law. Rivers of blood flowed, and no chickens or dogs were left.”
The two people scratched their heads. They only knew that there was another Shangshan Village, but they didn’t know about the others.
Villages and towns that model compliance with the law of protecting house numbers of ten households
This clue is enough. Zhu Ping'an, a village and town that models compliance with the law of protecting house numbers of ten households, couldn't be clearer.
"Two fellow villagers, thank you for coming to report this important news. I will not give you any honorary commendations to avoid revenge by the Japanese pirates. Brother Mu, please take the two fellow villagers to the private house to collect the reward of twenty taels of silver. Each day The reward is ten taels of silver."
Zhu Ping'an waved to Liu Mu in the distance and asked him to take the two common people to the private house to receive the silver reward.
“No, no need, Lord Governor. We are not here to receive rewards, as long as we keep our village.”
The two ordinary people waved their hands repeatedly.
"Only when rewards and punishments are clear can orders and prohibitions be carried out. If merit is not rewarded and delinquency is not punished, then wouldn't I be a coward?"
Zhu Ping'an insisted with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Governor, thank you, Mr. Governor." The two ordinary people did not expect that there would be a silver reward, and they happily thanked them again and again.
“Two fellow villagers, you can rest assured and go home after receiving the reward. I will make arrangements right away to ensure that your village is safe. At the same time, I will give the Japanese pirates a surprise so that they never come back!” Zhu Pingan said to the two common people.
Liu Mu came over and took two ordinary people to the house to collect the silver reward. Zhu Pingan went back to the study to study the map.
Xu Hai tried to destroy the ten households' armor protection method, which means that the ten households' armor protection method hit them seven inches.
The ten-household protection method is an important part of Zhu Pingan's strategy to exterminate the Japanese pirates. Zhu Pingan will never allow Xu Hai to destroy the ten-household protection method. If Xu Hai is allowed to bloodyly kill model villages and towns, causing white terror, then In order to avoid being massacred by Japanese pirates, other villages and towns no longer dared to abide by the ten-household-plate protection law.
Dongshan Village is located in Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture. Jiashan County is adjacent to Songjiang Prefecture. It is not surprising that the Japanese pirates chose this place to attack.
Although the two ordinary people did not know which other villages and towns the Japanese pirates wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, the clues they provided that the Japanese pirates wanted to target villages and towns that modeled compliance with the ten-household protection law were enough for Zhu Ping'an It was surmised.
The ten-household-number protection method was one of the two things that Zhu Pingan devoted the most energy to during this period.
Another thing is the training of new recruits of the Zhejiang Army.
Since northern Zhejiang suffered the most serious harassment and plunder by Japanese pirates during this period, Zhu Pingan paid the most attention to the implementation of the ten-household protection law in northern Zhejiang. He issued documents to the officials across northern Zhejiang and dispatched police The manpower for patrols is also the largest.
Due to the real threat of Japanese pirates and Zhu Ping'an's attention, the implementation of the ten-household protection law in northern Zhejiang is the best in Zhejiang.
As for the areas with the best implementation in northern Zhejiang, the most prominent ones are Jiashan County, Pinghu County and Haiyan County.
The best county is Jiashan County.
The Dongshan Village and Shangpo Village where these two people come from are model villages in Jiashan County that abide by the ten-household protection law. In addition to these two villages, Hechi Village and Xitang Ancient Town are also outstanding who.
These villages and towns have the highest number of reports in Jiashan, and nearly a hundred Tongwa suspects have been arrested based on the reports.
In addition to Jiashan County, Zhaojia Village and Wangjiazhai in Pinghu County are also model villages that comply with the ten-household house number protection law.
Qingfeng Town in Haiyan County is also a model town that abides by the ten-household protection law. The people in this town reported that two local gentry were involved in Japanese affairs. Zhu Pingan ordered Liu Dadao to lead a hundred Zhejiang troops to Haiyan County. Assisted the magistrate of Haiyan County in the investigation. After investigation, it was confirmed that the two It is true that the gentry communicated with Japanese pirates. The two gentry families raised more than a hundred Japanese pirates in the name of caravans. These Japanese pirates traveled around in the name of merchants and often disappeared for a while. When anyone asked, they said they were buying goods. , and after a while he came back with a dazzling array of goods.
In fact, what they call buying goods is to receive the call from the Japanese pirates outside, join them, and follow the Japanese pirates outside to burn, kill, and loot. What they rob back is what they call buying goods.
There is no airtight wall in the world. These Japanese pirates also caused trouble in the town. Some showed off how many people they had killed, some were so complacent that they spilled the beans, and some even spilled the beans after drinking too much.
In addition, their goods are not fixed and always very miscellaneous, and some of the goods have blood stains on them.
Many people know the facts.
After the implementation of the Ten Household Protection Law, people from the same group and local people reported it.
After verifying that it was true, Liu Dadao led a hundred Zhejiang troops to ransack the homes of two gentry at night, captured more than a hundred drunken Japanese pirates, and confiscated tens of thousands of taels of silver from the two gentry's homes, as well as Fifty bows, more than 200 Japanese swords, axes, scimitars, long swords and other weapons, as well as more than 30 pieces of armor. Everyone gets the stolen goods! (End of this chapter)
