How did this group of Japanese invaders break through the Huizhou Pass? The pass is not a county wall that has been in disrepair for years, it is a superposition of natural terrain and human infrastructure, even if this group of 150 Japanese pirates were as elite and powerful as they were, it would be like a fool’s dream to try to break through the ancient rift valley of the pass with the help of cold weapons.
Why did this group of Japanese pirates go all the way to the west and penetrate into the hinterland? The coastal area was not only rich but also easy to escape into the sea, while the inland area was both barren and not easy to retreat, so the behaviour of the Japanese bandits was obviously not in line with common sense.
One more thing, this group of Japanese pirates is also too belligerent? Landed in Shangyu, slaughtered Funing town, obviously have the opportunity and time to flee from Funing town directly across the river, but they preferred to occupy a courtyard in the town, eating and drinking, waiting for the Shaoxing Prefecture allied forces to come to the door to besiege, and then cross the river to leave after a fight; Qian old imperial history of the homecoming, there are a hundred of regular army, more than a hundred officers, dozens of guards all the way to the homecoming, armed escort, is obviously not a soft persimmon, but the group of Japanese ambushed and attacked; and then the west toChanghua, with 500 soldiers Changhua county governor fought a battle; the next west into the Yu Qian County, Yu Qian County governor rate of soldiers, officers, people to fight the Japanese, this group of Japanese in advance to detect, obviously can be avoided, but they did not, but chose to take the initiative to set up an ambush attack …….Zhu Pingan ran through it and found that after this group of Japanese pirates landed, they fought and killed when they met the officials and soldiers, and definitely did not wimp out, did not hide, and did not avoid, and if they did not meet the officials and soldiers, they created the conditions for ambushing the officials and soldiers ……Wherever they went, they had to fight and kill the officials and soldiers! The fact that this group of Japanese pirates were so cocky and arrogant, and so fond of fighting and killing with the officials and soldiers, made Zhu Pingan puzzled.
These three questions had been troubling Zhu Ping An, who had thought long and hard, but could not come up with a reasonable answer.
“Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is the only way to fight a hundred battles without danger, if you don’t know the other side, it’s easy to suffer losses on the battlefield ……”
Zhu Pingan stroked his chin and muttered to himself in a low voice.
Forget it, it’s been a while since I’ve responded to Yingtian, so I’ll go to Yingtian today, and while reporting on my duties, I’ll go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and other organisations to check the details of this group of Japanese pirates since they landed, and learn as much as I can about the situation of this group of Japanese pirates.
“Liu Mu, Ruofeng.”Zhu Pingan called out.
“Last general is here.”Liu Mu and Ruo Feng both heard the order and cupped their fists as they stepped forward.
“I’m going to Yingtian, I’ll be able to return before evening, during this period, the two of you will discuss and decide on daily matters such as training in the camp. If the matter is of great importance, then wait for my return.”Zhu Pingan said to the two.
“As ordered!”Liu Mu and Ruo Feng both led the order.
“Your Excellency, there have been a lot of Japanese troubles lately, so for safety’s sake, I would like to ask your Excellency to bring more men on this trip.”
Liu Mu reminded.
Zhu Pingan pondered for a moment, nodded and accepted Liu Mu’s suggestion, “Good, I’ll go ahead with a sentry later.”
Zhu Pingan signed a temporary daily matter authorisation for Liu Mu and Ruofeng, and then led Liu Dazhou as well as a sentry post of soldiers and horses to ride to Yingtian City.
When Zhu Pingan arrived in Yingtian, he first went to the Tidings and Judgeship Department’s Yamen to report to Lord Tidings on the formation of the Zhejian Army over the past half month.
“My humble servant pays his respects to Lord Tiantai.”
Entering the Tidings and Prosecution Division’s Yamen, Zhu Pingan breezed into the Tidings office room and knocked on the door to pay his respects.
“Oh, so it’s Zi Hou ah, quickly please come in. Haven’t seen you for a few days, why are you being polite instead, quickly approach and sit down.”Seeing Zhu Pingan, Zhang Tuan Tai greeted Zhu Pingan with a warm face as he came in and sat down.
“Hehe, thank you, Elder Tuan Tai.”Zhu Pingan smiled, arched his hand in thanks and took his seat.
“The days in the barracks are not as good as the city, right? Half a month after a farewell, Zi Hou has reduced quite a bit, and has suffered you.”
Zhang Tuan Tai looked up and down at Zhu Ping An and found that Zhu Ping An had lost almost a circle of weight, he was very touchingly concerned.
“Thank you for your concern, although I have lost a lot of weight, the fat on my body has turned into firm muscles. The days of the barracks are not as convenient as the city, but it’s not bitter, the Peach Blossom Collection has a beautiful environment, the air is fresh and suitable for living, the distance from the Peach Blossom Collection town is not too far, and the supply of materials is not a problem.”
Zhu Pingan smiled back, rolling up his sleeves upwards and curling his arms, his biceps bulging out.
During this half a month or so in the barracks, Zhu Pingan was overseeing the training of the Zhejian army and had been following the training himself. Not want to become a fierce general, it is not realistic, just do not want to be unarmed scholar, physical fitness stronger, the future of leading the army to war, not because of the body weak drag military plans!
Half a month down, the results are good, biceps bulge, eight-pack abs also have a vague outline.
“Good, worthy of being Zi Hou. Eat the bitterness of suffering, only to be a man of the people. If all of them can have this awareness of Zi Hou, this official will have a better life.”Seeing this, Zhang Tuan Tai could not help but call out for Zhu Pingan and said in appreciation.
“Your Excellency has praised me too much, Ping’an is not worthy of it.”Zhu Pingan hurriedly said modestly.
“By the way, how is the situation of the militia group now?”Zhang Tuan Tai asked, “Can the bandit soldiers obey the discipline?”
“I was about to report to the provincial governor, at the beginning of the establishment of the army, Ping’an will be the villages and horses scattered reorganisation, the establishment of the military law ‘four iron laws eighteen beheadings’, strictly enforced, there are provincial governor for the backing, the supply of food and grass is considered sufficient, there are military law as the reins, food and grass as a shield, the return of the three villages have no rebellious people, all serve the discipline! After more than half a month of intense training, the whole army up and down has been transformed, the first military prototype …….”Zhu Pingan then the overall situation of the Zhejian army, briefly reported to Zhang Tiantai.
“Well, not bad, Zi Hou has done a very good job.”Zhang Tiantai sniffed, stroked his beard, and nodded.
“Mr Tuan Tai, if the name is not correct, then the words will be said, when the army was established, Ping’an tentatively named the militia group ‘Jiangsu and Zhejiang Regiment Training Army’, referred to as ‘Zhejiang Army’, at present, the militia group has not yet been formally set the name of the army, but also ask the adults to formally give the name. ”
Zhu Pingan arched his hand and said.
“Jiangsu and Zhejiang Regiment Training Army, Zhejiang Army ……This name is very good, one knows the root, the official name of the militia group is still this name!”Zhang Tiandai read it silently, contemplated for a moment, praised and upgraded Zhu Pingan’s tentative name to the official name.
“Thank you for giving me the name, please give me another pair of ink treasures, and I will go back to make the military flag.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and said.
“Hehe, although I don’t want to admit it, but I have to say that Zi Hou’s words are far superior to Lao Fu’s by a lot, this military flag is better to use your ink treasures, Lao Fu won’t make a fool of himself in front of you.”Zhang Tiandai smiled and waved his hand.
“My lord, the old man said that the word is like a person, my word is like my youthfulness, how can I suppress the whole army, how can I suppress the future sands, my lord’s word is like my lord’s steadfastness, not moving like a mountain, this army flag must be my lord’s ink treasure in order to suppress it.”
Zhu Pingan spouted nonsense in a serious manner, insisting that Zhang Tiantai bestow the ink treasure and use his ink treasure to make the army flag.
This was just like giving a name, it had to be given by Zhang Tiantai before the name was justified, otherwise there was always the suspicion of overstepping the bounds.
“You, well, then I’ll make an offering.”
Zhang Tiantai couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, rolled up his sleeves, lifted his brush, and wrote the word “Zhejun”!
Well, this word, really not as good as their own ……
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, but on his lips, he said “good word!”
Then, after the ink and brush dried, Zhu Pingan carefully put the ink treasure away and put it into his arms.
