There is no impermeable wall under the sky, the content of the two pond newspaper soon spread, first in Yingtian official circles circulated, and then quickly spread to the people, a time to provoke people to discuss, boiling.
“The Wuhu imperial envoys declined to make a good thousand households Zeng Ji and Jianyang Wei Miao Yin and other three thousand troops, surrounded and attacked the Japanese pirates in Shangyu, because the Jianyang Wei Miao Yin and other first lost a battle, morale greatly reduced, and the Japanese pirates just a battle and then collapsed, the Japanese pirates drove the defeated troops to impact Zeng Ji’s department, resulting in Zeng’s department in great disarray in the Japanese pirates to kill the coalition army a rout of a thousand miles, but only the Wuhu County County Chancellor Chen Toda Department did not flee, but Chen Toda died on the spot, and then the people were talking about it, and it was a hot news.However, Chen Dao was killed on the spot, and half of Chen Dao’s troops were killed or wounded. Fifty-seven Japanese invaders pursued into the territory of Wuhu with their victory, set fire to the south shore of Wuhu, which coincided with a gale blowing at the lake, the wind helped the fire, the fire was suddenly very big, the fire light was overwhelming, the black smoke rolled up to cover the sky, like a demon coming out of the world, sweeping over the land for miles.
In the fire light and black smoke, the Japanese raid across the north shore of Wuhu, straight to Wuhu County. Fortunately, Wuhu County has long been the grass and trees, timely detection of the Japanese whereabouts, in the nick of time, before the Japanese into the city, cut off the moat bridge, tightly closed the gates of the city defence. The Japanese bandits failed to achieve their goal, resentfully wandered outside the city for a long time, had no choice but to retreat, burned and looted outside the city and then retreated, nowhere to be found ……”
Inside a street-facing restaurant, a storyteller was surrounded by the crowd, with a fruit and vegetable platter and tea and snacks in front of him, holding a folding fan and telling the contents of the two pond reports to the crowd of onlookers in a lively manner.
The contents of the pond newspaper shocked the crowd with a ground of eyeballs.
“What? Defeated?!Or a big defeat!!!”
“What about the three thousand allied forces, not three thousand pigs, how can they say they lost, then again it’s three thousand pigs, it’s not so bad.”
“Are these dozens of Japanese invaders all three-headed, six-armed and invulnerable to swords and spears? Why are they so fierce?”
“If this Wuhu County hadn’t urgently closed the city gates, maybe the people in the city would have been out of luck ……”
The crowd never thought that the three thousand allied forces, and deliberately defeated to lure the Japanese into the encirclement, and the north and south of the siege, front and back of the Japanese, a pass operation as fierce as a tiger, the last is such a result.
The defeat was so fast!
Or a big defeat! Soldiers defeated, routed! The only not routed Dangtu County Chancellor Chen Tidong died on the spot, the rest of a rout of a thousand miles! They were chased by the Japanese, and I don’t know how many soldiers and horses died!
“Ahem, at this moment, why do I remember the urgent military information from the ‘world’s Zhao Kuo’, Zhu Ping’an Zhu Ta-Jun. ……You guys, this Japanese invader won’t really come back to attack our Yingtian City like he said, right?”
A diner inside the restaurant couldn’t help but voice out in worry.
Hearing that dozens of Japanese pirates had defeated the 3,000 allied troops, he couldn’t help but think of Zhu Pingan’s urgent military message.
This diner’s voice was not loud, but clear enough, and as his voice trailed behind, it seemed as if the entire restaurant had been pressed the pause button, and people’s movements of eating and drinking had stopped, and the entire restaurant had fallen silent.
It was a full second or two before a voice rang out.
“What are you kidding, how is it possible, our Yingtian City is not one of those small counties, how could the Japanese bandits dare ah …….”
Following this, another rich man stood out, he was very expressive, arched his hand to the surroundings, and after attracting the attention of the crowd, he made a long speech in a loud voice: “That’s right, don’t worry about the sky, I have a little brother-in-law who is working as an errand boy in the Ministry of the Army’s Yamen, and he has known about this pond newspaper for a long time, and has also listened to the discussion among the old men of the Ministry of the Army, and said that what theHe also heard the military department discussing it and said that the urgent military situation of ‘Zhao Kuo of the current generation’ is simply impossible. The first ah, our Yingtian City is the former capital of the Forbidden City, is now also the capital, that is a small county can be compared. When our ancestor was ‘building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king’, building a high wall ah, our Yingtian city is high and deep, covering an area of dozens of miles, the wall is dozens of metres high! Dozens of Wuhu counties can’t even compare to half of Yingtian City. You listen to Mr Tang, did not listen carefully, the Japanese set fire to attack Wuhu County, but Wuhu County, the moat bridge a break, the city gate closed, the small Japanese will have no choice but to retreat, let alone our Yingtian City, we Yingtian, the gates of the city closed, the small Japanese he can only stare at it, no way to do anything. Secondly, you still haven’t listened carefully to Mr Tang’s report, although the 3,000 allied forces have lost, but not without any achievement, although the Japanese pirates in Shangyu have won, but not without any loss. Shangyu’s Japanese invaders are also at the end of their tether at this time. Before the war, they still had about eighty people, but after the war, when they attacked Wuhu County, there were only fifty-seven Japanese invaders left. Oh, fifty-seven Japanese pirates, what are they doing in Yingtian? Scratch our Yingtian’s itch?”
His words trailed off, causing a burst of laughter from the crowd.
“Hahahahaha, yes, only going to go to fifty-seven Japanese pirates is enough to do what, we Yingtian dozens of miles, just the inner gate has thirteen, fifty-seven Japanese pirates scattered, a city gate divided into four and a half Japanese pirates. The four and a half Japanese kongs attacking a city gate, hahaha, that’s really not even enough to scratch the itch…….”
“I told you, 3,000 allied troops are not 3,000 pigs, so it’s true that they still killed 20 or 30 Japanese pirates. Three thousand countryside coalition army can achieve this result, we should Tian has a hundred thousand regular soldiers and horses, on the battlefield, at least when hundreds of three thousand coalition army, this Japanese really not enough to look at.”
“The Japanese invaders are few and not enough to worry about ……”
“‘When the world’s Zhao Kuo’ wants to wash away the shame, this point of the Japanese invaders can not be enough. Heh heh heh, let’s not think too much. We should drink and drink, eat food and eat food, even if the sky falls, it can’t hit us Yingtian …….”
The restaurant soon returned to the lively, people will be the news of the Japanese invaders put aside, drink and eat food and laugh as usual.
It is said that the eyes of the masses are discerning, and in this case, it is true that the folk’s argument is almost the same as the official’s. The official’s argument is also a big one.
The official argument is also largely the same voice, although the three thousand allied troops defeated, but still achieved, more than eighty of the Japanese invaders only left fifty-seven, the remaining Japanese invaders have been insufficient to worry about, Wuhu County, a small county closed the gates, the Japanese invaders can not take it, let alone Yingtian.
Of course, not everyone is like this.
Hu Zongxian heard the two pond newspaper, contemplated for a moment, told people to prepare horses, rushed to Yingtian outside Guo Jingying “Zhenwei camp”.
Zhenwei camp is the outermost camp in Yingtian.
Hu Zongxian rushed to Zhenwei camp, on the order of Zhenwei camp up and down to do a good job of war preparations, the whole army ready for war. Zhenwei camp up and down do not think, but Hu Zongxian take out the identity of the inspector-general of the Imperial Palace of Justice, the grace and prestige, in person, strict stare, through Hu Zongxian’s efforts, Zhenwei camp personnel assembly, material scheduling, and gradually into the state of readiness…….
