After another day of such time, in between training sessions, Zhu Pingan once again received a pond report.
Zhu Pingan unfolded the pond report and browsed through it, and then couldn’t help but choke out a sigh.
Alas.
Yesterday, the newspaper recorded that Cai Dianshi led 1,000 soldiers and carried coffins out of the city to fight against the Japanese, but today, the newspaper already has the results of the fight against the Japanese.
Cai Dianshi led more than one thousand one hundred soldiers and horses, in the battle with the Japanese, such as sheep encountered tigers, instant collapse, more than one thousand one hundred soldiers and horses abandoned their armour and ran more than one thousand people, only Cai Dianshi’s family of eighty people to follow the Cai Dianshi to die fighting and not to retreat, and ultimately the Cai Dianshi was hit by a number of knives and died, and the same family of eighty people are all also all died in battle.
The Japanese didn’t come out of the battle unscathed. Cai Denshi and his whole clan killed three of them and severely wounded several others.
If I succeed, this coffin will be filled with the heads of the Japanese pirates, and I will sacrifice the heads of the Japanese pirates to the souls of my parents in heaven; if I fail and die in battle, I would appreciate it if you would put me in a coffin and carry me back. ……
Cai Dianshi’s oath still echoes in the nine heavens.
Cai Dianshi did not fail to live up to his oath, he was true to his word, and eventually died on the battlefield in the line of duty.
However, the sad and ironic thing is that since more than 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command fled, no one was able to collect him in a coffin and carry him back; on the contrary, it was recorded in the Tang Newspaper that the Japanese sheik admired Cai Denshi’s bravery and ordered the Japanese invaders to collect Cai Denshi’s body in a coffin and carry it to the city of Jingde County and put it outside of the city for the Cai Denshi’s family to be buried. ……
Of course, the Japanese didn’t let go of the empty, panicked, and undefended Jingde County, and broke through the south gate and entered the city, looting the county government office and the county’s mansions and compounds, and finally torching the county government office and nearby residences with a wild laugh and a single torch.
The governor of Jingde County and the county minister hid in the dung bucket of the county office to escape from the Japanese and the fire, and recovered their lives.
At the end of the report, it was said that the Japanese burned down the government office of Jingde County, and after burning and looting in Jingde County, they appeared in Jing County, Ningguo Prefecture, and looted a village and town in Jing County.
The Japanese appeared in Jing County.
Jing County?
Zhu Pingan’s sharp nerves were instantly touched, Jing County, this place was to the north of Jingde County ah. This direction …… Zhu Pingan slightly raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully, squatted on the ground, casually picked up a branch and drew a map on the ground.
Zhu Pingan will Shangyu landing of the Japanese since the landing, the plundered places, including Shangyu, Changhua County, Yu Qian County, Xixi County, Jixi County, Jingde County, Jing County and so on all in accordance with the geographic location of the mark out. Speaking of drawing maps, it is estimated that in this era there is no one who can surpass Zhu Pingan, Zhu Pingan from the modern era, modern maps do not know how many streets more than the ancient maps, the map of the whole of China is in Zhu Pingan’s mind, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui is even more clear in his mind. Soon, the map was drawn, and the marching track of the Japanese invaders immediately jumped out on the paper, clear and visible at a glance.
From the map can be seen, the Japanese since Shangyu landing, northbound stop Qiantang River, began the first turn, unexpected turn to the west, deep inland, has been to the west deep into Jixi County, and then there was a second turn. Yesterday, when the Japanese plundered Jingde County from Jixi County, this turn was not obvious, but now that the Japanese have appeared in Jing County, this turn is obvious from the map, the Japanese have turned, from west to east.
The Japanese have turned north.
Why didn’t the Japanese go further west into the hinterland? Why did they turn north?
Which places were further north.
Zhu Pingan added the administrative divisions of the northern counties on the map one by one. North of Ningguo Prefecture is Taiping Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of Wuhu County, Dangtu County, and Fanchang County, and further north of Taiping Prefecture is Yingtian Prefecture.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the city’s history and its history!
This group of Japanese invaders wouldn’t attack the accompanying capital of Yingtian like the group of fifty Japanese invaders in history, right?
No way!
That was the only time in history that Japanese invaders attacked Yingtian! Yingtian is not a small county, Yingtian is a huge city, the garrison of Yingtian is not just a few hundred soldiers like a county, the garrison of Yingtian is more than 100,000 people. From the point of view of this group of Japanese, both ambush and surprise attack, they are also courageous and resourceful, and will not be so stupid as to take their own lives.
At most, this group of Japanese pirates will go north to Taiping Province and then turn around. Zhu Pingan came to this conclusion after some deduction.
In this way, Zhu Pingan trained the Zhejiang army while keeping a close eye on the next movement of the Japanese invaders.
After two more days of this, Zhu Pingan received another pond report.
The previous report stated that the Japanese invaded Jing County after landing in Shangyu, while this report stated that the governor of Jing County, Qiu Shiyong, led 800 soldiers to chase the Japanese in Dike Pond. After burning and looting in Dike Tong, the Japanese invaders were emboldened and did not leave, but rested arrogantly, as if they were waiting for Qiu Shiyong to lead his troops to fight against the Japanese invaders. Qiu Shiyong led his troops to kill, the Japanese invaders waited for the Japanese invaders and fought with them in Diao Tong. After some fighting, Qiu Shiyong’s soldiers and horses could not beat the Japanese invaders, and were defeated by the Japanese invaders, with hundreds of dead and wounded, and Qiu Shiyong retreated back to the county under the escort of his beloved ones. In this battle, the Japanese were almost unharmed, and only a few of them were injured.
After defeating Qiu Shiyong’s soldiers and horses, they burned and looted in Jingxian County, and then continued northward from Jingxian County, aiming directly at Nanling County.
Hu Guangyao, the governor of Nanling County, took precautions against the Japanese invaders as early as when they entered Jing County, and sent people to ask for reinforcements, asking for help from Miao Yin, the commander of the nearby Jianyang Guards, asking for help from Dangtu County, asking for help from Wuhu County, asking for help from Taiping Prefecture, and sending Mo Cheng, the county minister of Nanling County, to lead three hundred soldiers to defend the border mountain between Nanling County and Jing County. This mountain is the boundary between Nanling County and Jing County, and it is also a natural pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Mo Cheng took 300 men to guard Boundary Mountain, occupying the dangerous pass and sniping 100 Japanese, with the goal of preventing the Japanese from entering Nanling County through Boundary Mountain.
This goal should not be very difficult, there is no need to fight with the Japanese, but only need to occupy the heavenly danger and hold the pass to prevent the Japanese from passing through.
But, alas, Mo County Minister greedy for life and fear of death, in the Japanese trick again, hanging the heads of Jing County officers and soldiers, imposing to the bottom of the pass for attacking the pass, Mo County Minister to see the waist of the Japanese that after a head, can not help but the two war war, stalls a stream of yellow flow uncontrolled gushing out, and then a horse in the first to the speedy and swift, leaving the troops under the command of the troops and horses, scattered legs and ran away. Soldiers bear a will bear a nest, Mo County Minister front foot run away, after the foot under the banner of the three hundred soldiers and horses also followed the scurrying run away.
In an instant, Boundary Mountain became an empty pass without defences, stripped bare and lying flat.
Once again, the Japanese once again, without any effort, without hurting a single soldier, took down one of the passes of the Ming Dynasty, passed through the Boundary Mountain, and entered the territory of Nanling County without any difficulty.
