The battle against the Japanese in Funing Town became a joke, Liu Zhifu and Xu Qiandu gathered more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, plus later more than 800 reinforcements, the cumulative total strength of 3,000 people, while the Japanese only 150 people, typical of the many against the few, but the results are frightening: the Japanese did not lose a person, only more than 10 people lightly wounded, while the Ming army killed in action 644 people, lightly wounded and seriously wounded is uncountable! The first commander of the Ming army, Liu Zhifu, vomited blood and fainted, and the second commander, Xu Qiandu, was in a state of shock, as if he had lost his mind. ……
Nabeshima Naono and Matsuura Sanbanro led the Japanese easily crushed the Ming army outside the east wall, killing the Ming army a blood flow call, crying father and mother, and then arrogantly laughed and took the raft across the Qishui River.
Seeing the Japanese pirates crossing the river to the east, the surviving more than a thousand Ming troops, especially those who have directly faced the Japanese pirates, such as the surviving Ming troops outside the east wall, could not wait to beat the drums to send the Japanese pirates off, watching the Japanese pirates disappeared on the other side of the river, the Ming troops as if they had sent off the god of the plague, and they immediately had a sense of having survived the disaster, escaped from the world and retrieved a life.
Thank God, these Japanese pirates who killed without blinking an eye and chopped up people like chickens are finally gone!
We are saved!
Ming Army Tears ……
The night was dark and out of reach, Nabeshima Naoyo and Matsuura Sanbanro disappeared from the sight of the Ming army after they crossed the Qishui River with the Japanese invaders.
Liu Zhifu vomited blood and fainted, the command of the Ming army fell into the hands of Xu Qiandu, Xu Qiandu was shocked, deeply afraid of the killing power of the Japanese, and did not dare to order the Ming army to cross the river to chase the Japanese.
“Qishui River on the other side of both the official road, there are countryside paths, there are woods, low mountains and hills, the terrain is very complex, and now it is late at night, it is difficult to explore the traces, it is difficult to track down the direction of the Japanese invaders, if there is not prepared, but also easy to take advantage of the Japanese invaders, or to wait until tomorrow after dawn, and then send a heavy force to chase down the Japanese invaders.”
Xu Qiandu found a grandiose reason and ordered the Ming army to rest and recuperate in the same place, and then cross the river in the morning to chase and kill the Japanese invaders.
“Your Excellency is wise!”
When the group of generals heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and praised Chiantou Xu for his wisdom. They were all scared out of their wits by the Japanese pirates, who were too damn ferocious, and in today’s battle, one of the 100 households died, three of the chief banners died, and as many as eight of the small banners died! They were afraid that they would be next, and when they heard Xu Qianhu’s order to stay put and pursue the Japanese tomorrow, they all breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The Japanese invaders came all the way here to loot the wealth, this Funing has been looted once, there is not much wealth, the Japanese invaders crossed the river and left for sure will not come back again, this night is definitely safe, and one night the Japanese invaders have long gone away, certainly can not catch up, of course, even if they can catch up with the Japanese invaders, they “will” not be able to catch up.
Therefore, a group of generals could not wait to raise 10,000 hands to warmly support Xu Qiandu’s wise decision.
When the Ming army received the order from above to rest tonight and chase the Japanese in the morning, they all raised ten thousand hands in favour of it.
Qishui River is a wilderness to the east, half a mile ahead is an official road, the official road to the north straight to Hangzhou, and the official road connected to a few countryside paths, leading to the nearby villages and towns, not far away from the nearby is a dense forest, there is also a low hill, countless villages sporadically distributed in the edge of the dense forest and low hill.
Both the dense forest and the low hills were suitable for hiding, and once they entered them, traces were hard to find and movements were hard to trace.
If the Japanese invaders entered the dense forests or low hills and hid themselves, they would be like a fish entering the sea, and it would be difficult to find their traces.
However, the Japanese didn’t choose to enter the dense forest or low hills to hide, but swaggered onto the official road.
“Are you sure this official road leads straight to Hangzhou Province?”Matsuura Sanbanro confirmed to the Japanese pirate who had followed Xu Hai.
“Yes. When I first landed with Xu Hai in Shangyu to plunder the Great Ming, Xu Hai had pointed to this official road and said so.”The Japanese pirate confirmed.
“Yell West!”Matsuura Sanbanro nodded in satisfaction and turned to Nabeshima Naono to suggest, “General Naono, how about we catch the road while it’s still night, and then find a secluded village to rest and recuperate when we enter Hangzhou Province?!”
“As Sanbanro sees it! I can’t wait to see the prosperous Su Hu region of the Great Ming!”
Nao Nabeshima licked the stained Ming army blood on his face and nodded with a hefty smile.
At that moment, a line of Japanese pirates just swaggered northwards along the official road, aiming straight for Hangzhou Province.
At this moment, in the position of about ten miles north of the official road, there is also a vast line of people holding torches to catch the road.
This is the old retired imperial inspector Qian Whale and his group who have returned to their hometowns in honour and glory.
Qian whale is in the position of supervision of the retired imperial inspector, is a seventh-grade official, is Hu Zongxian’s old counterparts.
Qian whale’s old home is the Shaoxing Province, Qiaotoubu Town, the location of the immediate vicinity of Shangyu County, just five miles north of the location of Shangyu. Qian old imperial history this year sixty, belongs to the representative of the late bloomer, he was in forty-nine when he won the examination, fifty-three when he won the jinshi, a local magistrate, also with Hu Zongxian, took the imperial history line of career. However, after all, money whale older, did not wait to rise from the imperial historian to the retirement age, career is fixed in the seven product supervision of the imperial historian.
Of course, he is also considered lucky, although the Inspector General is only a seventh-grade official, but the position of power, is the existence of the officialdom can not be ignored. Therefore, in his this supervision of the imperial historian, he is also considered a scenery, did not live up to his decades of hard study, when he left home to go to work alone, when he returned home to his wife and concubines five children three people, door, florist, servants, cooks, housekeeper group, there are sixty or seventy people.
Of course, this line of his vast, not only his concubines and children, door servants and other people, as well as the departure of the local officials sent to escort fifty people and along the way, officials sent to escort more than eighty people, the way to Yingtian, his counterparts Hu Zongxian heard, not only warmly entertained the money old imperial historian, in view of the recent frequent Japanese attacks along the Jiangzhe, in order to the safety of the money old imperial historian, in spite of the money old!The imperial historian’s refusal, insisted on sending a hundred soldiers to escort the money old imperial historian, farewell also urged the money old royal historian must be rushed in the daytime, do not night rush night road.
Ahem, is not safe and rowdy, completely Hu Zongxian enthusiasm is difficult to resist, the money old imperial historian had to accept Hu Zongxian’s good intentions.
Qian old imperial history in a sedan chair, carrying a beautiful wife and concubine, children around the knee, the door servants a group, escorting the officer one hundred and three, escorting the soldiers one hundred ……
Returning home in fine clothes is just like that!
For Hu Zongxian’s advice, money all the way to the old Imperial Palace is adopted, after all, old age, along the way officials and warm, money old Imperial Palace is the daytime rush, rest at night to recuperate, but to the doorstep of the old Imperial Palace, money old Imperial Palace is eager to return home, today take a night road, about two more points will be able to get to the old home.
So, can’t wait to want to return home Qian old royal historian, in this last day, walked a night road.
