Close the pond newspaper, Zhu Pingan frowned and stared for a long time, how to see how to feel this pond newspaper is somewhat ridiculous.
A hundred and fifty people of the Japanese only, how to have such a great destructive power? First slaughtered the people of Funing Town, and then broke the Shaoxing Governor Liu and Xu Qiandu 3,000 allied troops, and then killed the old imperial historian Qian and his party!
Not to mention, the Shaoxing Governor Lord Liu and Xu Qiandu’s allied army, which consisted of 3,000 men, couldn’t handle a hundred and fifty Japanese pirates, and were killed by more than 600 people when they couldn’t kill the pirates themselves. Calculated this way, the average of each Japanese killed four Ming army? And still managed to leave unharmed themselves?
Are these Japanese soldiers special forces? Or did the Shaoxing government conceal the information that the Shaoxing allied army was not 3,000 men, but 300 men?
The Shaoxing government might conceal information, but it would never be this kind of number. If the local officials of Shaoxing wanted to cover up the failure of the Japanese invasion, they would only exaggerate the number of Japanese invaders and shrink the number of their own allied forces. The defeat would only be justifiable if there were many enemies and fewer of our soldiers; if there were fewer enemies and more of our soldiers, then the defeat would not be deserved!
Zhu Pingan also knows the current situation of the Ming army, old, weak, sick and disabled, insufficient training, the war power faded seriously, but after all, it is 3,000 trained soldiers, such a large base, the strength of the soldiers, the soldiers who can fight how to have a thousand people, such a strength advantage should be enough to eliminate more than a hundred Japanese invaders.
However, the fact is just the opposite.
If it was really as recorded in the pond newspaper, then it could only mean that: first, the guards’ soldiers had declined so much that they were unable to fight; second, this group of Japanese invaders was extraordinary, and their fighting skills were far superior to those of the general Japanese invaders, just like the special forces soldiers were different from the general soldiers, and this group of Japanese invaders was a special force of the Japanese invaders.
Do such Japanese invaders exist?
They existed.
At least Zhu Pingan believes in it, because Zhu Pingan has read a record about the Ming Dynasty’s Japanese invaders in modern times, a group of fifty Japanese invaders drove into the city of Nanjing, which was heavily guarded, and retreated in one piece, and in the end, the Ming army paid heavy casualties and wasted a lot of effort to encircle and annihilate this group of Japanese invaders in Suzhou…….
A Japanese pirate of fifty men was able to attack the city of Nanjing, and also retreated in one piece!
Therefore, it is not impossible for a hundred and fifty people to break through the allied forces of Lord Liu, the governor of Shaoxing, and Xu Qiandu.
This was a dangerous force of humongous Japanese!
Zhu Pingan came to a conclusion that seemed like nonsense.
Attention must be raised!
According to the pond report, this group of Japanese invaders disappeared along the Qiantang River, and it is not known where their next wave of attack will target. Calculating the distance, the Qiantang River is far away from the Peach Blossom Set, but it is not far away, so it is necessary to be more vigilant and to strengthen the vigilance, so that this group of Japanese invaders will not roam into the vicinity to do their crimes.
In addition, the pond newspaper also emphasised that all departments are ready to go, as soon as there is a transfer order, immediately start.
Although there are a lot of regular troops around Yingtianfu, according to common sense, it is estimated that they will not be used, but there is no guarantee, they must be prepared to be drafted to participate in the fight against the Japanese.
This group of Japanese pirates were not ordinary tough Japanese!
The Shaoxing coalition army has 3,000 men, of which more than 1,000 are the regular army of the guards, but they can’t help this group of Japanese pirates, and the 700 militia regiments that have only been trained for more than half a month are definitely no match for them.
We need to further strengthen the training! Lest they become cannon fodder, affecting the overall situation of the Japanese suppression!
“This group of Japanese pirates is extraordinary, we have to be prepared to be drafted to participate in the extermination of this group of tough pirates, we must further strengthen our training, sweat more in normal times, bleed less in wartime, and strike the iron with our own hardness.”
In the afternoon, Zhu Pingan convened all the generals of the Zhejiang army at the schoolyard of the Peach Blossom Collection, and declared the contents of the pond report to the crowd in a concise manner, so that they could be prepared to be drafted to fight against this group of humongous Japanese, and emphasised on the need to further strengthen their training.
At the same time, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the crowd for training, Zhu Pingan also held a solemn flag awarding ceremony for Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou, He Xinlang and their three ranks.
“Zhu Daniu, come forward to receive the flag! The colour red must always be dyed, and the tip of the sword must be sharpened more often. Giving you the flag of the sharp knife, I hope that you will keep up the good work and do not fail to live up to the name of the sharp knife!”
“Lin Er Dog, come forward to receive the flag! Generals with tiger’s guts, flying dysprosium to break the wolf camp. I give you the Dysprosium Flag, and I hope that you will continue to work hard, so as not to let down the name of Dysprosium!”
“He Xinlang, come forward to receive the flag! Tiger soldiers wear golden armour in a hundred battles, and vow not to return until the enemy camp is broken. I give you the Armour Breaking Flag. I hope that you will continue to work hard and do not fail to live up to the name of Armour Breaking!”
Zhu Pingan personally awarded the Sharp Sword Flag, Flying Dysprosium Flag, and Armour Breaking Flag to Zhu Daniu, Lin Erdog, and He Xinlang.
“When the flag is present, the people are present, when the flag is dead, the people are dead!”
After Zhu Daniu, Lin Erdog and He Xinlang received the Ng flag, they led the soldiers of the three Ngs to kneel down and swear an oath.
After the awarding of the flag was over, the Zhejian army began their training. Zhu Pingan increased the intensity of the training for them. Zhu Pingan made each of the Zhejian soldiers make two small sandbags and made them tie them to their legs for training.
In addition to this, Zhu Pingan also added musket shooting training to them, and borrowed 10 musket instructors from Marquis Linhuai’s naval camp to teach them musket shooting. While respecting the teaching of the musket instructors, Zhu Pingan also combined modern experience and hung a brick on the gun barrel to strengthen their stability training.
Zhu Pingan received the pond report, and Hu Zongxian, who was inspecting the “Zhenwei Battalion” in the capital battalion, also received this pond report.
“What? Old Imperial Inspector Qian has been killed!!!”
Hu Zongxian was shocked, saddened and furious when he saw the pond newspaper record that Qian’s family had been killed by Japanese invaders!
Hu Zongxian had previously received the care of the old imperial secretary of the money, the old imperial secretary of the money with gratitude, so the day before yesterday in the Yingtian parting will send troops to escort the old imperial secretary of the money to return to his hometown, but I did not expect, the day before yesterday, a goodbye actually became a heaven and earth! More than a hundred soldiers plus more than a hundred errand boys escorting him were unable to stop this tragedy!
“This group of Japanese bandits is full of evil! I swear to kill you all!”Hu Zongxian slammed the table in anger.
“Return to the city!”
After reading the pond newspaper, Hu Zongxian no longer have the mood to inspect, hurriedly ended the inspection of Zhenwei camp, all the way back to the inner city of Yingtian, into the city, then non-stop to the Ministry of War, one is to check the more detailed information on the Japanese, the second is to meet with Zhang Shangshu, discuss the matter of the annihilation of the Japanese.
Hu Zongxian in the Ministry of War archives room as expected to see the more detailed information on the Japanese disaster, see more pond newspaper not recorded details, including the Qian old imperial historian killed in the detailed description of the scene, the old imperial historian of the Qian body was hit by a knife, the head was cut, and even a whole body did not leave, the same sedan chair concubines are not neatly dressed, a family of young and old none survived —— Hu Zongxian the more he looked at the more the hatred of the Japanese and the intention to kill, clenched his teeth and swore:”If I don’t kill this group of Japanese, I’m sorry to the emperor, I’m sorry to the people who were killed, and I’m sorry to the old imperial historian Qian!
I’m sorry for the people who were killed, and I’m sorry for the old Imperial Magistrate Qian’s family!”
“Lord Hu, Lord Zhang is here to see you.”The officer came in to report.
“Thank you!”
Hu Zongxian nodded his head in thanks and followed the servant to pay his respects to Zhang Jing.
