True to his word, Zhu Pingan immediately ordered Liu Dadao and others to hand over 500 pairs of spare cotton armor to the wolf soldiers.
Touching the brand new and well-made armor, Cen Dalu was still in disbelief. Such good armor was really given to us? !
The real thing!
It is lined with iron sheets, which is not only powerful, but also has excellent defense!
Such a good armor, so many armors, this Lord Zhongyuan, whom we only met once, actually gave them to us!
"Silly boy, why are you still standing there, why don't you join me in saying thank you to Mr. Zhu." Mrs. Wa Shi saw Cen Dalu giggling while touching his armor, so she couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head and lectured him.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Zhu, thank you, Mr. Zhu."
Cen Dalu then realized and confirmed that such good and so many armors really belonged to their wolf soldiers.
At this time, Cen Dalu couldn't help but burst into tears.
The wolf soldiers were ordered by Governor Zhang Jingzhang to come to the south of the Yangtze River from Guangxi to help the Central Plains people exterminate the Japanese pirates. When they set out from Tianzhou, their local government did not give them a grain of rice or a grain of support. An arrow and a horse!
They prepared their own dry food, their own weapons, and their own flattery. They traveled thousands of miles and went through a lot of hardships, from Wuzhou, through Nanxiong, Guangdong, over the Dayuling Mountains, and then took a boat to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and transferred to Jiangnan. At one stop, we disembarked in Danyang, Jiangsu Province.
However, as soon as they got off the boat and set foot on the land of Jiangnan, their wolf soldiers were poured a basin of cold water on them.
Exhausted, they wanted to drink hot soup and have a good sleep before continuing on their way.
To this day, Cen Dalu still remembers the scene when they first got off the boat.
"Hey, we are here to help the Central Plains people in the south of the Yangtze River fight the Japanese pirates. We are their reinforcements, and they have to wait for us to welcome us."
"Haha, no, think about it. When we were in chaos in Tianzhou, our brothers Langbing who returned to Shunzhou came to help us. How did we entertain them? Those fat pigs, fat sheep, fat chickens, and fat ducks were roasted directly. Oil dripping. I heard it. The delicacies of the Central Plains are so delicious that one can swallow them with one's tongue."
"Hey, hey, I'm still a bachelor. If there is a woman from the Central Plains who feeds us a pot of juice, we will like it. What should I do if I die? "
"Just dream, Dachong, as ugly as you are, how can a woman from the Central Plains fall in love with you if you are fair and beautiful?"
"Hahahaha."
The wolf soldiers who had just got off the boat and set foot on the land of Danyang were all very happy. After sitting on the boat for so long, it was damp, cramped, and swaying. Now they have landed. Thinking about the welcome they are about to receive, they are all full of joy. expect.
However, they thought about so many scenarios, but they never expected that the county magistrate of Danyang would hide from their wolf soldiers, and the people in Danyang City would also close their doors one by one and refuse to accept their wolf soldiers!
No!
We came all the way to help you fight the Japanese pirates, are you just treating us like this? ! Not to mention eating the soup from the pot, competing to heat the soup, but not even giving us a sip of cold water? ! Avoid us like snakes and scorpions!
We are here to help you fight the Japanese pirates! We are your rescuers!
This is so chilling.
In the end, I could only give up the idea of resting, drag my exhausted body, and continue to move forward.
"Bah! They are still Danyang people, feel shameful for them! During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling relied on 5,000 Danyang infantry to fight 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry for eight days and eight nights. Although he was defeated, he was glorious and became famous in one battle. ; During the Three Kingdoms period, Danyang soldiers returned They are famous soldiers in the world. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce all recruited troops in Danyang to fight for the world! But look at how cowardly they are now! "
The wolf soldiers arrived with curses all the way! Second stop - Suzhou!
"Danyang County, a small place, does not have the courage to accept us into the city. This Suzhou City is a famous big city in the world, and it will definitely not be petty."
"Yes, yes, a big city must be grand."
The wolf soldiers arrived at Suzhou City with their extremely tired bodies full of expectations.
But!
But the Suzhou magistrate strictly ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and they were not allowed to enter the city, and they were ordered to set up tents outside the city.
Damn it!
The cold wind is howling and snowflakes are falling in the cold winter. You let us set up a tent outside to rest! This, this is your way of hospitality!
"My lord, we have been waiting for the savages from the southwest to conquer Susong for a long time. We have come all the way to help the king's army destroy the Japanese. Now we are trapped and exhausted. We just want a shelter from the wind and snow and a place to rest for one night. That's enough. "
"Please rest assured, Lord Magistrate, that we, Biqiu, will not commit any crime and will never disturb any of your people."
Mrs. Wa's family stepped forward and clasped her fists.
"Under the old system of our ancestors, no matter where the wolf soldiers are being recruited, they are not allowed to enter the city!" Suzhou Prefect insisted.
"What kind of old system is this?! There is an old system specifically for our wolf soldiers? Where are the other guest soldiers? When we heard that the Shandong Lancers were coming, how enthusiastic were you?! ”
"That's unreasonable! Didn't you invite us wolf soldiers?! Is this how you treat the rescue soldiers?!"
"Quit, since you don't welcome us, then we are still licking our faces and working hard for you What, quit? , go home, let’s go back to our hometown! I really think Grandpa Xihan is here to fight the Japanese pirates with his life!”
The majority of the wolf soldiers were tired, cold, and chilled, and their hearts were angry, angry, and aggrieved! , the crowd shouted excitedly to go home.
There are even many wolf soldiers waving weapons and clamoring to break into Suzhou City. If you don't let them in, I insist on going in!
"How dare you! We in Suzhou are easy to bully. Let me tell you, there are 40,000 Japanese pirates lying dead under our city. Do you want to be with them?!"
When the Suzhou soldiers on the city heard the noise of the wolf soldiers, they waved their weapons and showed off to the wolf soldiers below the city their glorious record of killing 40,000 Japanese pirates in Suzhou City, severely destroying the majesty of the wolf soldiers.
"Bah! It was obviously the Zhejiang Army that killed the Japanese pirates, why are you putting so much money on your faces! If it weren't for the Zhejiang Army, you would have been captured by the Japanese pirates!"
Wolf soldiers are coming I heard about the Battle of Suzhou on the way, until the protagonist of this battle was the Zhejiang Army. If it hadn't been for the Zhejiang Army, Suzhou would have fallen to the Japanese pirates just like Jiaxing, but they actually had the nerve to brag about it.
In the end, Mrs. Wa's prestige was enough to suppress the wolf soldiers who broke the defense and made a fuss. She also waited for Zhang Jing's envoy and persuaded the Suzhou magistrate to open the city gate before allowing the wolf soldiers to enter the city and move around. The scope was also limited to the military camp in the city.
This journey, I don’t know how much I have suffered, like feeling chilled and rolling my eyes.
The local people in Jiangnan also discriminated against them, saying that they wore black turbans and white turbans, just like the dead wearing mourning.
This was the first time they had encountered Zhu Pingan's generosity and kindness.
"Master Zhu, you are the first person I admire since I, Cen Dalu, came to the Central Plains. Before, I judged a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. I was a fledgling and had eyesight but could not see Mount Tai. I once again pay my respects to you. You apologize. I'm a barbarian and can't speak, but I Cen Dalu swears to God that from now on, whenever your lord has an order, I, Cen Dalu, will do whatever I want, no matter whether I go to the mountain of swords or to the sea of fire. If I disobey it, I will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die badly." Cen Dalu's eyes were red and he clasped his fists! Kneeling down on one knee, he was completely impressed by Zhu Pingan.
