After learning that the Japanese camp was empty, Zhu Pingan silently recited “Guang Zong Yao Ancestor” and used his qi as a radar, carefully observing the surrounding qi, and indeed did not find any black or blood-coloured qi that symbolised the plague of death and bloodshed, but to be cautious, Zhu Pingan sent out four teams of young and strong people in the four directions to reconnoitre the area of five miles in circumference, and there was no trace of the Japanese.There was no sign of the Japanese invaders, and only after finally determining that the Japanese invaders had indeed retreated did Zhu Pingan order the opening of the city gates and lead the young and strong people to receive the Japanese invaders’ camp.
Just as Liu Dazhou said, the Japanese camp was empty, all the things were taken away, and there were only twenty-six seriously injured Japanese who couldn’t walk. The cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the Japanese is evident from this. These twenty-six seriously injured Japanese were regarded as a burden by the Japanese army and were cruelly discarded in the camp.
What should we do with these twenty-six seriously wounded Japanese?
Preferential treatment of prisoners?
There was no such thing.
As each of these Japanese bandits was not a criminal, and their hands were stained with the blood of innocent people, and each of them was not guilty, Zhu Ping’an gave his tacit approval to the angry young and strong people to hack the seriously wounded Japanese bandits to pieces.
The corpses of the Japanese were piled up under the city wall, and a ditch outside the Japanese camp was also filled with corpses of the Japanese who died of serious wounds.
The heads of the Japanese were to be beheaded!
Zhu Pingan ordered to collect the corpses of the Japanese under the city wall and in the ditch, and lynch their heads, pickle them with coarse salt, lime, and grass ash as military honours so that they could ask for rewards from the imperial court, while the corpses were piled up to be incinerated and disposed of so as to avoid creating a plague.
In the ditch under the city wall and outside the Japanese camp, 458 Japanese heads were obtained. Together with the 337 Japanese heads that had been intentionally collected on the city wall before, a total of 795 Japanese heads were obtained.
In fact, the number of Japanese pirates killed was definitely more than this number, only that some of the heads were no longer available.
In addition, there were more Japanese who were seriously and lightly wounded, but they were not so bad that they could not move, and they still retreated with the Japanese army.
In fact, there was still a high probability that those who were injured by stones could get their lives back, but if they were injured by arrows and gold juice, even if they were not seriously injured, there was a high probability that they would basically hang and end their dirty and sinful lives, but only for a few days later. Because, the arrows on the city were soaked in the gold juice, full of bacteria, after shooting the Japanese, the bacteria would enter their wounds and make them infected, in this era, for tetanus and other infectious diseases, medicine is basically hopeless. As for the Japanese invaders who were wounded by the hot gold juice, the festering wounds were the fun ground for bacteria to breed, the chance of being infected was almost 100%, once infected, they would basically be hanged for sure.
Once infected, they would basically hang for sure. Calculating in this way, the Japanese invaders lost at least half of their men.
This time, the Japanese plundered Jingnan, the arrogance of the world, the result in the Jingnan county town bumped into a head of blood, and almost lost the halberd.
Of course, the loss of Jingnan is also very heavy, first of all, the Japanese invaders ravaged Jingnan, burning and looting, I do not know how many villages, I do not know how many people were killed, I do not know how much property has been robbed, these are all to go down to the investigation and statistics; Secondly, in this Jingnan county town in the battle of the attack and defence, a total loss of more than 800 young strong people; In addition, now is the time of autumn harvest, the Japanese invaders wreak havoc, destruction of farmland, delayed farming, the brief led to the loss of more.In addition, it is now the autumn harvest time, the Japanese ravaged the farmland and delayed the farming time, which caused more losses.
These losses could be considered to be bone-breaking for Jingnan.
Of course, if Zhu Pingan hadn’t led the people to defend Jingnan County to the death, and if the Japanese had captured Jingnan County, the losses suffered by Jingnan wouldn’t have been as simple as breaking bones, according to what the Japanese had done when they captured the other counties, if the Japanese had captured Jingnan, then what was waiting for Jingnan would have been the end of the world.
“The Governor’s Grand Master led the men and fought the Japanese off!”
“We’ve defended Jingnan, we’re saved ……”
When the people of Jingnan County got the news that the Japanese invaders had retreated, they cried tears of joy, hugging and crying with joy, glad that they had escaped death and dodged a bullet. For a while, the city of Jingnan County became a sea of joy.
Of course, several families rejoiced and several families were sad.
In this defence, more than 800 young and strong people were lost, which meant that more than 800 families had to bear the pain of bereavement, and in the sea of joy in Jingnan County, the cries of more than 800 families were mixed in.
After leading the young and strong people to destroy the Japanese camp, Zhu Pingan returned to Jingnan County, and was welcomed by the common people as soon as he entered the county. The common people welcomed the people with fruits, wine, meat and other delicacies in the form of fruits and pots of rice. Zhu Ping’an was even more focused on by the common people, every step was given fruits, wine and meat, and he was almost drowned out by the crowds.
The crowd of young and strong people couldn’t help but straighten their chests and hold their heads high, a wave of pride and pride was born.
The bun little maid was also amongst the crowds of people who were entwined in their welcome, seeing that Zhu Pingan had become the great hero of the whole city and was loved by the people of the whole city, the bun little maid, Painter, was happy with her eyebrows and hands dancing as if she was the one who was being welcomed and loved.
Because of the people’s welcome, the short section of road back to the city was hard to walk for almost half an hour.
“You are all heroes of Jingnan, it was you who defied sacrifice and fought to the death to defend Jingnan. What this official promised you before will be implemented one by one. All of you will receive ten taels of bounty silver, those who are wounded will receive an additional ten taels of bounty silver, the specifics have been registered, and the bounty silver will be distributed to all of you within ten days. In addition, if any of you want to work in the county office, you can go to the county office from tomorrow to register. After this battle, there will be many vacant positions at the county office, so this official will give priority consideration to all of you.”
Zhu Pingan stood in front of the crowd before dismissing the crowd of young and strong people, holding up the two registers and speaking loudly to the crowd.
Zhu Pingan was well aware of the importance of making a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, which was the key to gaining the trust of the people, uniting their hearts and minds, and developing in the long run. After a big battle, apart from honour, what people cared about was the rewards.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Pingan’s promise, the people cheered, and Zhu Pingan’s prestige grew in them.
After promising the youth, Zhu Pingan also led the crowd to the Jingnan Anti-Japanese Heroes Mausoleum, kneeling down to pay tribute to the people of the youth who died in the war.
After paying homage, Zhu Pingan appeased the relatives of the young men who died in the battle, and promised them that the family members of their closest relatives could get ten taels of silver reward for their bravery in defending the city and fifty taels of silver for their pension. In addition, Zhu Ping’an also specially pampered the families of the young and strong who died in the war, and exempted all the families of the young and strong who died in the war from paying taxes for ten years.
Under Zhu Pingan’s special pension, the grief of the families who died in the war was soothed, and the grief was eased a lot.
The clouds over the city of Jingnan County completely dissipated.
