Although it is good to win, we can’t use the blood of the young and strong people to dye my Zhu Pingan’s crown plume red.
The Japanese invaders are fierce, and it’s okay for them to defend the city, but if they are fighting with the Japanese invaders, it’s just like sending them to their deaths. Even if there is a simple version of the mandarin ducks formation is not possible, one of the people’s combat quality limitations, two of the simple version of the mandarin ducks formation is rigid and stiff, in the city wall defence is okay, if the battle, the disadvantages are infinitely amplified, simply not a Japanese opponent. Even if it is the full version of the Yuanyang Formation, without a few months of training, it is no match for the Japanese.
Zhu Pingan pondered for a moment, his eyes became more and more cautious, if he did not have a full grasp of the situation, he would rather miss out on this once-in-a-century war effort than risk the lives of the young and strong people.
“Brother Mu, please arrange for someone to go and poke around again to see how Taiping County fell. In addition, also probe into the situation of the Japanese infestation within the Taizhou Prefecture, and the movements of the various Japanese invaders. Note that safety is paramount.”
Zhu Pingan asked Liu Mu to arrange for people to spy on the Japanese invaders, urging Liu Mu to focus on safety when spying.
Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is the only way to fight a hundred battles without danger, regardless of the size of the battle, information is always the key to victory. Only by fully grasping the information of the Japanese invaders can we analyse, plan and decide on the next move.
Of course, the military success is secondary, post-war reconstruction, appeasement of the people is today’s top priority, the first priority.
After Liu Mu led the order to go down, Zhu Pingan went out of the three halls and called Liu Dazhou, Liu Dahammer and others outside the halls to continue to go down to the countryside to investigate and direct the post-war reconstruction matters. Zhu Pingan recorded in detail the disaster situation of each village, and based on the actual situation of each village, tailored to the local conditions and targeted arrangements for reconstruction matters.
From morning to evening, without stopping, in the dead of night, Zhu Pingan finally ran through all the precincts.
The damages caused by the Japanese invasion were frightening, and the Japanese invaders really deserved to die! The Japanese invaders really deserve to die! This is fortunate to hold the Jingnan, drove away the Japanese, otherwise, the damage suffered by the Jingnan will be 100 times more serious than now.
The great Ming, the hall of China, but suffered from the suffering of the Japanese, it is really ugly national shame, generations do not forget!
I Zhu Ping’an will definitely wipe out the Japanese invaders! Lead the long army to whip the Japanese! I will make the Japanese pay a heavy price! I will make the Japanese never dare to covet China again!
After visiting all the affected villages, the anger in Zhu Ping An’s heart became more and more raging! The oath also became more and more resolute.
After Zhu Pingan returned to the county office wearing stars and moonlight, Liu Mu, who was waiting in the lobby, came over to report the news.
“Reporting back to Your Excellency, we have spied the news.”Liu Mu saluted.
“Brother Mu, no need to be polite, sit down and speak.”Zhu Pingan invited Liu Mu to sit down and casually poured two cups of tea.
“Many thanks, Your Excellency. The reason why Taiping County fell so quickly was all because Taiping Magistrate Wang Fengming was greedy and afraid of death.”Liu Mu thanked him and sat down to report back, mentioning the name of Taiping Governor Wang Fengming, Liu Mu couldn’t help but look furious.
“Oh, what exactly?”Zhu Pingan asked curiously.
“Your Excellency, the leader of this group of Japanese pirates is named Honda Heihachi, and after his defeat from our Jingnan, he only had a thousand or so men left. After his defeat and retreat into Taiping County, he burned and looted his way to the city, holding nearly a thousand young and strong people hostage, and straight away surrounded the city of Taiping County. Wang Fengming, the governor of Taiping County, was as cowardly as a rat and was afraid of death. Seeing that the Japanese invaders had strong troops and horses, he didn’t even dare to put up a resistance, and was about to abandon the city and run away. Hmph, when the Japanese invaders had more than 3,000 people and surrounded my Jingnan County, the Prince slept on the city wall, stabilised the people’s heart, and led us to beat the Japanese invaders to death, and the Japanese invaders only had 1,000 remnants left when they besieged the Taiping County, and the governor of Taiping County didn’t dare to resist, and was going to abandon the city to run away, what a drunken sack!”
Liu Mu reported back in detail, and was full of contempt for Taiping governor Wang Fengming.
“So he abandoned the city and fled?”Zhu Pingan asked.
“No.”Liu Mu shook his head, “Although he did not abandon the city and fled, he begged the Japanese for peace. After Wang Zhixian was persuaded by Xiahou County Minister, he harboured evil intentions and proposed to defend the four city gates separately with Xiahou County Minister, he guarded the west and south gates himself and made Xiahou County Minister guard the east and north gates. Greedy and fearful of death, Wang Zhixian in Xiahou county minister in the north gate to kill the enemy, in the city searched a large number of gold, silver and jewellery, cloth and satin, secretly sent his housekeeper down to go to the Japanese and ask for peace. The Japanese pirates were cunning, and asked for a large sum of money, making Wang Zhixian offer ten times the amount of gifts before agreeing to make peace. Taking advantage of the fact that Wang Zhixian had opened the city gate to deliver the gifts, he seized the gate, and broke through the city of Taiping County in one go. Xiahou County Minister died on the spot in battle, and the greedy Wang Zhixian didn’t survive and had his head chopped off by the Japanese.”
“The incompetence of one general exhausts the three armies!”
Hearing Liu Mu’s words, Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but slap the table and sighed in contempt, speechless and righteously angry at the death-greedy, stupid and incompetent governor of Taiping County, pitying the people of Taiping County.
“What Your Excellency said is true.”Liu Mu nodded his head vigorously, “It’s all because of the Taiping governor’s greed for death and stupidity and incompetence that he fell for the Japanese’s trick and was easily overrun by the Japanese in Taiping County.”
“What is the situation in the other counties of Taizhou Prefecture?”Zhu Pingan asked.
“Just about to report to Your Excellency, Xianju County and Ninghai County were also hit by Japanese pirates, and the county towns of both counties were overrun by the same group of Japanese pirates. The leader of this group of Japanese invaders is a thieving monk with the gag name of Iron King Kong, and I heard that he has two to three thousand Japanese invaders under his command.”Liu Mu returned.
“Xianju County is easy to attack and hard to defend, so it’s hard to avoid being overrun by the Japanese. However, Ninghai County is backed by a large mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a guard stationed nearby, so logically, it shouldn’t be easily overrun, ah?”
Zhu Pingan sniffed, sighed, and asked immediately after.
“Iron King Kong breached Xianju County on the same day he landed, Ninghai County got the news and strengthened its defences, while asking the guardhouse for help. Guan Yao, a thousand tenant of the guardhouse, led eight hundred soldiers into Ninghai county town to defend it. Hearing that Guan Yao did not take the Japanese invaders seriously, the governor of Ninghai County prepared wine and food for Guan Yao, but Guan Yao said, ‘My ancestor Guan Yunchang, the saint of martial arts, beheaded Hua Xiong with warm wine, and I am a descendant of the saint of martial arts, so I can’t compare with my ancestor, but I don’t take the Japanese invaders seriously, so I’ll put this wine and food aside first, and eat it after I have destroyed the Japanese invaders.’After saying that, Guan Qiandu led 800 soldiers, 200 yamen and folk, totalling more than 1,000 people, took the initiative to go out of the city to fight with the Japanese invaders, vowing to exterminate the Japanese invaders in one battle. However, I didn’t expect that as soon as the battle was engaged, Guan Qianhu was routed, and he himself was given a stick by Tie Jin Gang to smash his brain, and Ninghai county town was also taken by Tie Jin Gang to take advantage of the opportunity to take over ……”
Liu Mu returned.
Alas ……
Zhu Pingan heard, to Guan Qianhu is very speechless, exterminate this dynasty food, the mouth is very big, very have Guan Yun Chang warm wine to cut Hua Xiong’s courage, but unfortunately the heart is more than enough, a battle on the defeat of the soldiers died, but also even involved the Ninghai County city.
The good guard city is not good, have to go out and Japanese field battle, you own a few pounds how much is not clear ah!
