When the Japanese retreated, Zhu Pingan was even busier.
From the morning when he found out that the Japanese had retreated, until the late night, Zhu Pingan did not rest for a moment.
During the daytime, Zhu Pingan visited the villages affected by the Japanese disaster, counted the losses, visited and pacified the affected people, and directed the reconstruction matters; in addition, he also had to arrange the defence matters, and restarted the six beacons along the coast and five beacons along the border, to prevent the Japanese from attacking Jingnan again. With the beacon towers, at least in the event of a Japanese raid, it would be possible to give an early warning, giving the coastal villages time to escape.
There were many villages under Jingnan that were affected by the Japanese invasion, Zhu Pingan visited them without stopping, he didn’t have time to eat lunch and dinner, Liu Dazhou bought a few biscuits to deal with it, and he ate them while visiting, asking for sympathy, and laying down defences.
Coastal villages after the Japanese ravage, the former fish and rice country, the earth’s paradise, now turned into a wilderness, miserable as hell on earth: burned black houses, full of blood and corpses, the village of women and children, the scourge of women and children, will soon be ripe but destroyed rice paddies …… ten miles without chickens, everywhere all the cries……
Zhu Pingan this whole day, the mood is full of grief, heavy and anger, the heart is burning with anger.
The acts of the Japanese invaders were inhumane! Tragic! Heartless! They are worse than animals!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill all the Japanese invaders in the world!
After visiting one village after another that had been spoilt into hell on earth by the Japanese invaders, seeing one innocent person killed after another, and listening to one heart-breaking cry after another, the anger in Zhu Pingan’s heart became more and more difficult to restrain, and he silently made a very middle-class vow in his heart: I, Zhu Pingan, will kill all the Japanese invaders in the world, and I want to make the Divine Kingdom free of Japanese invaders again! I want to make the island Japanese slaves pay the price of blood ！！！！！ I want to lead the long army to whip the island country! I will ask for the punishment of the island country’s big and small Japanese chiefs!
Zhu Pingan suppressed his anger to the bottom of his heart, and used a hundred times his energy to comfort and pacify the affected people, direct the reconstruction, and arrange for the defence. It was only when it was dark that Zhu Pingan returned to the Jingnan County Office from the countryside below wearing stars and moonlight.
After returning to the county office overnight, Zhu Pingan did not rest, used scissors to light up the oil lamp, laid out pen, ink, paper and ink stone, and began to write the official documents.
The first official document was a war report on the situation of sniping Japanese invaders in Jingnan. Zhu Pingan faithfully described the situation of invasion by Japanese invaders, including the number of Japanese invaders, the landing place, the situation of burning, killing, looting and the situation of attacking the county town of Jingnan, and highlighted the situation of Jingnan’s resistance to Japanese invaders, in which the people and the army united to fight the Japanese invaders, defied sacrifices, and ultimately repulsed the Japanese invaders. In the war report, Zhu Pingan listed the outstanding achievements of six people, including Liu Dazhou, Liu Mu, Liu Dazhun, Liu Dahammer, Liu Dahaxe, and Liu Dajiang. Of course, at the end of the war report, Zhu Pingan also did not spare ink, will Jingnan Dianshi Li Da abandoned the city before the battle and fled, the county chancellor Zhang Changru, the chief minister Yao Wenyuan retreat in the face of battle, missing, etc., one by one, attached to it, impeachment.
After the war to free up their hands, certainly to liquidate them, will be listed after the war report, is to advance to the summit to say hello. After all, the three of them as court officials, to clean them up, the procedure is relatively cumbersome, and ultimately to be sent down by the court ministry of mandarins. As for the six rooms of the county magistrate’s Xuyun, they were not court-appointed officials, so Zhu Pingan could deal with them completely on his own.
In fact, before the Japanese came, Zhu Pingan had already begun to prepare to clean them up, the bureau had already been set up, just waiting for a few more days to close the net. However, after the Japanese came, as imperial officials, they abandoned the city and fled before the battle, retreating from the battlefield, involving negligence of duty, wasting the responsibility of defending the land and protecting the people, failing to live up to the trust of the imperial court and other major sins, which allowed Zhu Pingan to save a great deal of trouble, and for the time being, there was no need to use the bureau laid down.
After writing the war report, Zhu Ping An also began to draft the second official document, this one is to request the court to reduce or waive the tax of Jingnan, today to visit the village below which suffered from the Japanese poison, the tragic situation of the affected villages are still vivid in my mind, if they are allowed to pay the tax again, it is just like a second murder of the survivors, Zhu Ping An decided to apply for a reduction of the tax to the imperial court.
“More than three thousand Japanese invaders ravaged Jingnan, although the whole heart sniper, beat back the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese invaders transit, burned and looted, the jurisdiction of the affected villages and villages were severely damaged, houses burned, farmland destruction, grief and disaster …… Jingnan governor Zhu Pingan pleads for a reduction in the rent of this year in Jingnan, to show relief, and the people of the rest of the world. ”
Zhu Pingan in this request to reduce taxes after the official document, will suffer from the Japanese poisoned village as well as the disaster situation, according to their own visits to understand the actual situation, one by one listed in the back. The purpose was that even if he could not ask for tax relief for the whole of Jingnan, he should at least ask for tax relief for the affected villages.
After checking and embellishing, Zhu Pingan formally copied the second official document.
After writing the second official document, Zhu Pingan drank a cup of strong tea to refresh himself and then started writing the third official document.
This was an official document requesting a silver reward for the first merit.
This time, he captured seven hundred and ninety-five Japanese chiefs, and Zhu Pingan wrote an official document requesting the court to award silver and other rewards in accordance with the reward criteria.
In the Ming Dynasty, military honours were divided into two categories: “first merit” and “war merit”, and “first merit” was not “first”,The first merit is not “first”, “first” merit, the first merit refers to the literal meaning of the word – the first level of merit, in simple terms, is the first level of merit, that is, the number of heads as the standard for reward. It can be said that this is a method of calculating merit that has been carried over from the time of Iron-blooded Great Qin, and is characterised by its simplicity, brutality and bloody effectiveness. Although this led to the phenomenon of killing good people and risking their lives, its role is undeniable.
Ming Dynasty “war merit” is divided into “strange merit”, “first merit”, “second merit” three categories. Unlike the first merit, the war merit was mainly based on the performance of the warrior on the battlefield. Warrior’s performance by the chief officer to determine the autonomy is relatively large, more water, the implementation of the drawbacks are quite a lot, the phenomenon of playing with the advent of merit is endless. A war down, the officers and soldiers fought bravely, but in the end, the commander-in-chief of the war with the eunuch in charge of supervising the war, as well as accompanying the Imperial Historian of the merit, and so on, to discuss, you put your far away from home to plant the name of the cousin to write in, I put my family sweeping and feeding the name of the family slaves to write in the horse, but also a word of the matter.
Later, the court also noticed this problem, the autonomy of the larger, more water “war merit” more cautious, the most popular, the most popular is the standard easy to grasp the “first merit”.
Daming first merit reward standards, generally in accordance with the meritorious area and the object of the different, divided into the north (Mongolia), the northeast side (the female genitalia), Xifan Miao barbarians (Tibetans and southern minorities), the interior rebels (Han civil unrest) and other four levels, by the court for each level to give different rewards. The rewards are mainly money and promotion rewards. At present, the rewards are mainly money rewards and less promotion rewards.
In accordance with the Jiajing emperor last year issued a reward, the north (Mongolia) a head of silver reward 50 two, the northeast (female true) a head of silver reward 30 two, Xifan Miao barbarians (Tibetans and southern minorities) a head of silver reward 10 two, the mainland rebels (the Han Chinese civil unrest) is the cheapest, a head of silver reward 5 two.
However, the bounty of silver is not fixed.
Last year, the Gengxu change, Jiajing Emperor issued a special bounty, a head of the enemy reward silver one hundred taels of silver. In addition, if more heads are captured, the bounty reward silver will fall, for example, the mainland rebels (hanchi civil unrest) a head is 5 two, the year before last there was a rebel rebellion, kill more, the head fell to a 1 two bounty silver.
Still, the head of a Japanese pirate is now worth a lot of money.
As an emerging threat (actually very old, there have been Japanese pirates since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but not large enough to threaten imperial rule, and during the Jiajing years the Japanese pirates emerged in a big way and already threatened imperial rule), Emperor Jiajing issued a special reward this year, setting the head of a Japanese pirate at a 30 tael bounty, and even stipulating that, in extraordinary times, a head of a Japanese pirate was worth one hundred taels of bounty silver.
This time, 795 heads of Japanese invaders were captured, according to the reward issued by Emperor Jiajing, 30 taels of silver reward for one head is 23,850 taels of silver, even if discounted, there must be at least 20,000 taels of silver reward.
These rewards, Zhu Pingan will not want one or two, will be sent to the government officials involved in the battle, the city guards and young people!
