Heihachiro, the leader of the Japanese invaders, took advantage of the fact that the people on the city were shocked by the murderous sacrifice of the flag, and with a wave of his Japanese sword, he ordered the crowd of Japanese invaders to attack the city.
“Kill!”
“Tear them apart!”
More than three thousand ferocious Japanese pirates set up siege ladders, hideously shouting and killing like a group of evil spirits from hell, stepping on the corpses of the people who had been sacrificed to the flag, and swooping down towards the Jingnan County town in a murderous manner.
Just now the Japanese ferociously killed and sacrificed the flag, the people on the city had not yet recovered from the fear, at this moment the Japanese hideously killed, the fear of the people was even worse, their faces were pale, their legs were warring, and their hands were trembling so much that they could not even hold their weapons.
“Cheer up, what are you afraid of, your head fell off with a bowl-sized scar, and you’ll be a good man again eighteen years later.”
“What’s there to fear about the Japanese, they’re all made of meat.”
“Kill these inhuman beasts!”
The magistrates, soldiers, and bold people who had already participated in defending the city once shouted loudly to inspire the crowd.
However, it was of no use.
Most of the people on the city who should be scared, were still scared, cowering behind the battlements of the city wall like quails, shivering.
The people on the city were all scared like this, how could they defend the city? What is the difference between this and abandoning the city and surrendering.
When Zhu Pingan saw this scene, he could not help but frown, of course, Zhu Pingan knew in his heart that he did not blame everyone for this, after all, everyone was a commoner and not a professional soldier, at the time of Jingnan’s survival, it was already a great courage for them to come forward to help defend the city. The Japanese invaders are ferocious, and deliberately killed so many civilians in front of the front to sacrifice the flag, to set up a deterrent, it is normal for everyone to be afraid. Just now, when the government officials and soldiers faced the first wave of Japanese invaders attacking the city, their behaviour was not much better than everyone else.
Just!
Changes had to be made to boost the morale and courage of the crowd, or else there would be no need to defend this city.
Thinking of this, without hesitation, Zhu Pingan stood up, raised his shield to protect himself, braved the rain of arrows from the Japanese covering the attack, struck his shield with the hilt of his sword, and ran back and forth across the city walls, shouting to the cowering and shivering people:
“Brothers, the Japanese are ferocious, and if I could, I would like to flee, but I can’t, behind us are our parents, wives and children, and there is no way back for us. If we flee and wimp out, who will guard them? The Japanese will mock us as cowards while not hesitating to kill our parents and ravage our wives and children! For the sake of our parents, wives and children, we must be strong! Defeat the Japanese! Protect our parents, wives and children! If you’re a man, rise up! The city is here! Our parents, wives and children are here! I swear to live and die with Jingnan!”
To make the people fearless, we must give them faith! Let the people know who they are fighting for! Let everyone know that they are not fighting for the Great Ming, nor for me, Zhu Pingan, but for their own parents, wives and children, for themselves!
Behind us are our parents, wives and children. We have no way back!
Down with the Japanese! Protect your parents and children!
If you’re a man, rise up! The city is here! Our parents, wives and children are here! I swear to live and die with Jingnan!
……
Zhu Pingan’s words echoed from the city walls, the shivering people heard Zhu Pingan’s words and thought of their parents, wives and children under the city, the Japanese are so ferocious, if I am not strong, then who will guard them?
Grass people are weak, but they are strong for their families!
After hearing Zhu Pingan’s words, people couldn’t help but take a deep breath, straighten their backs and tighten the blades in their hands.
“Very good, everyone is pumped up, they are all good, there is not a single weakling. Oh, in fact, what is there to be afraid of in fighting with the Japanese? When fighting a war, there are only two outcomes, getting hurt or not getting hurt. What’s there to be afraid of if you don’t get hurt? If you are injured, there are only two outcomes, minor or major injuries. What’s the big deal about a minor injury? I can also receive an additional ten taels of silver; and serious injuries, there are only two results, can be cured and can not be cured, can be cured what is so terrible? You can also receive an extra ten taels of silver; if you can’t be cured, it’s even less scary, because you’re already dead, so what’s there to be afraid of? Your family can also receive an additional fifty taels of pension and live without worry.”
Seeing that the crowd had raised their spirits, Zhu Pingan praised and affirmed the courage of the crowd at the first time, and in order to further lower the pressure on the crowd and inspire their will to fight, Zhu Pingan joked in the form of a classic modern conscription advertisement of a certain country.
This is the use of psychology, when people have the mindset to accept the worst case scenario, then there is nothing unacceptable. Because, compared to the worst case scenario, any other scenario can be said to be good news.
After listening to Zhu Pingan’s joking yet wise words, the people were enlightened as if they had been hit with a pain in the rendou two chakras.
“Hahaha, what the governor said is true, what is there to be afraid of when fighting with the Japanese. It’s not scary not to be injured, it’s not scary to be lightly injured, it’s not scary to be seriously injured, it’s not scary to be dead, it’s not scary to be scared of an egg!”
“Hahaha, that’s it.”
The atmosphere of fear on the city wall was swept away, courage and hot blood grew savagely in the hearts of the people, and their bodies were filled with power.
“Brothers, the Japanese are about to attack, lift up your chests, pick up your weapons, pay attention to the stray vectors, stones smashing towards the heads of the Japanese, gold juice splashing towards the heads of the Japanese, great swords hacking towards the heads of the Japanese! Lances thrust at the chests of the Japanese! Years from now, when you are sitting under a tree in the sun, and your son or grandson curiously asks you what you did when you were young, you don’t have to turn red and stammer that your grandfather I shovelled sh*t in the ground back then. You can stare into their eyes, loud and proud, tell your children and grandchildren, saying: children, your grandfather I was on the walls of Jingnan County, and the dog said the governor big master Zhu Pingan side by side to fight the Japanese! Killed thousands of fierce and vicious Japanese invaders, drove them off the city walls, and preserved Jingnan!”
Seeing that the Japanese invaders had already approached the city walls and set up their siege ladders on the walls, Zhu Pingan loudly reminded the crowd of his final pre-battle mobilisation.
When the crowd heard Zhu Pingan’s words, their minds couldn’t help but conjure up an image: they were old and grey-haired sitting under a tree basking in the warmth of the sun, and their little grandchildren innocently tilted their heads and asked, grandpa what did you do when you were young ah, and they could stroke their whiskers, and bullishly say to their grandchildren, little son of a b*tch listen up, your grandpa and I fought side by side with the dog-named governor big old masters on the walls back in those years and brought down the ferocity of the gods and goddesses,The three thousand Japanese invaders were so vicious and evil that I became the guardian god of Jingnan!
It’s exciting to think about!
I can brag about this for the rest of my life!
f*ck the Japanese!
f*ck!
The crowd couldn’t help but feel their blood boiling, they were no longer afraid, they gripped their weapons tightly, and they were full of fighting spirit.
