In the evening, the sleet had already stopped, and a sunset appeared in the west horizon, dyeing half of the mountain red.
"If they launched the attack directly just now, it would cause us a lot of trouble. Now, they have missed the opportunity."
Zhu Ping'an, accompanied by Liu Dadao, inspected the camp. He looked at the Japanese pirate army camping not far away and said slowly. "Why did the young master say that?" Liu Dadao was puzzled.
"It was raining and snowing just now, and our mesh gun was very affected. Although we added a wind and rain cover to the mesh gun, it was not tightly connected and we could not fire in rainy weather for a long time. . Now the rain has stopped and the sunset has come out. As the saying goes, the morning glow does not go out, but the sunset travels thousands of miles. Today comes out, and tomorrow will be a sunny day, which is a great benefit to our Zhejiang arms combat."

Zhu Ping'an explained slowly.
Just just now, the Zhejiang army counterattacked the Japanese pirates, and the Zhejiang army's firearms were affected by rain and snow, otherwise the results of the battle would definitely be greater than now.
Of course, fortunately, the sleet just now was not very heavy. If it rained heavily, Zhu Ping'an would have to let the Zhejiang army stay in the camp to avoid field battles.
After all, the firearms are just merely mesh guns, and they have to be affected by the weather. "So that's the case. I understand. Young Master. Haha, it seems that the leader of the Japanese pirates on the other side is not very good." Liu Dadao smiled.
"They are also cautious, and there is no big mistake in being cautious, but they are prone to missing opportunities." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and said lightly. "Young Master, when should you be cautious and when should you be bold?" Liu Dadao asked Zhu Ping'an for advice. "Only by knowing your opponent and being well-known to yourself and fully grasping the information on the battlefield, you must make correct judgments. Be cautious when you should be cautious, and be bold when you should be bold." Zhu Ping'an said slowly. "I understand, thank you for your teachings." Liu Dadao suddenly realized and hurriedly thanked Zhu Ping'an. "Why are you polite?" Zhu Ping'an waved his hand.
Zhu Ping'an and his friends continued to patrol the camp, and soon came to a camp where all kinds of screams came. "Have you not confessed yet?" Zhu Ping'an asked curiously, "The bones of these Japanese prisoners are quite hard." "Sir, you have already confessed, but there are two The Japanese pirates were extremely guilty. They even repeatedly brutally killed women and children, and killed a baby. After the brothers interrogated, they learned about their beastly behavior. They couldn't help it and took turns to whip them to avenge the victims. "The guards reported, I was a little nervous, afraid that Zhu Ping'an would punish them. "Have the information they confessed been verified? Is it consistent?" Zhu Ping'an asked again. "We all interrogated separately and compared them, and the information they confessed was not different."
The guards replied. "Give me the confession information, and don't waste your energy. Cut the two Japanese pirates who were extremely guilty. The other Japanese prisoners were shackled and arranged physical work for them, so that they could not let them have idle meals. ”
Zhu Ping'an ordered. "As for the order." The guards were relieved and took the order loudly.
Zhu Ping'an took the confession back to the commander's tent, placed the confession on the table, and carefully read the contents on it.
Through confession, we learned that the Japanese pirates on the opposite side were composed of two groups. One was led by Wang Zhi's adopted son Mao Haifeng, with a force of 8,000; the other was led by a man named Otomo Satochuan, with a force of 8,000. Six thousand.
The two Japanese pirate coalition forces have a force of 14,000, which is the vanguard army of Japanese pirates.
When Zhu Ping'an saw Mao Haifeng's name, his eyes lit up. He was familiar with this character. Among the things in the Ming Dynasty, Mao Haifeng was a key figure in Hu Zongxian's surrender to Wang Zhi. Because Mao Haifeng was deceived by Hu Zongxian, Wang Zhi was finally tricked by Hu Zongxian to the shore.
Although Hu Zongxian's plan to recruit and recruit Wang Bengu in the then Zhejiang inspector, Wang Bengu arrested Wang Zhi and then executed him, causing Hu Zongxian's plan to recruit and recruit and recruit and recruit, which ultimately led to two Zhejiang has a catastrophe for ten years.
However, I have to say that Mao Haifeng is a key gentleman in recruiting Wang Zhi.
Mao Haifeng is Wang Zhi's adopted son, and the deep newcomer Wang Zhi has a great prestige among the Japanese pirates.
Such a person is so close that he is delivered to the door. If you don’t make good use of it, it will be a waste.
If you want to recruit Wang Zhi, you must show your strength. A sheep cannot surrender evil wolves, but a lion can.
Tomorrow will be sunny, and I just try my best to use Mao Haifeng to try his best to let him see the strength of Zhejiang arms.
The equal importance of kindness and power is the way to control people.
As for this Maiwo named Otomo Satokawa, Zhu Ping'an looked at the deeds about him in his confession and did not take him lightly.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
This is a landless noble in Japan. After the destruction, a group of ronin gathered around him. He dared to fight and kill, and gradually grew into one of the top ten King Kongs under Wang Zhi. The six thousand Japanese pirates under his command were mostly 6,000 Japanese pirates under his command. Really Japanese, strong combat power.
The most eye-catching confession is that Otomo Satochuan also has an elite iron artillery team of 800 people.
The iron cannon used by this elite iron cannon team of 800 people was exchanged for the iron cannon from Hong Maoyi.
Otomo Sadaichiro claims to be proficient in Chinese military tactics and named his troops according to "wind", "forest", "water" and "fire". This iron artillery team is the "fire" army, and he is most proud of. The elite is also his sharpest minion.
Mao Haifeng and Otomo Satochuan, according to the confession, have different personalities. Mao Haifeng is generous and brave, and has a strong spirit. Otomo Satochuan is a more arrogant person, but he is also insidious and wise. .
This coalition is dominated by Mao Haifeng, and Otomo Sadakigawa is the deputy. According to the confession, the two of them had a good time and there was no suspicion of internal strife.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the confession carefully twice, put it aside and thought about it in the tent for a moment.
Originally, when he didn't know that the leader of the opposite Japanese pirates was Mao Haifeng, Zhu Ping'an actually intended to ask people to take turns to the Japanese pirate camp to beat drums and fire artillery to harass the Japanese pirate camp, affecting the rest of the Japanese pirates and accumulate advantages for tomorrow's battle, but when he knew that the leader of the opposite Japanese pirates was After Mao Haifeng, Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment and gave up this plan.
Since he wanted to use Mao Haifeng, based on historical deeds and the confessions of prisoners, Mao Haifeng was a generous and brave man.
If you want to use him, it is best to convince him and minimize his hostility.
Tomorrow defeats him with dignity, convinced him of his defeat.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an ordered the outside world, "Notify each battalion to be divided into three batches, take turns to rest and guard; increase patrol efforts, and set up several more secret posts outside the battalion to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking at night Battalion. In addition, go to the river to get more water to prevent fire attacks."
Although you do not disturb the Japanese pirates, you must also be prepared for the night attack by the Japanese pirates. "Affect the order." The guards outside received the order from Zhu Ping'an and took the order to convey it. (This chapter ends)
