Zhang Jing swept a glance at the crowd, knowing that the crowd was only worried about being held accountable afterwards, not without a contemptuous sneer, slowly spoke: “Gentlemen, Yingtian is the accompanying capital of my Ming Dynasty, the Japanese attacked Yingtian brazenly this time, I don’t need to say that, you all know how big the impact of this matter is. Since we eat the king’s salary, we should be loyal to the king’s affairs, no matter who it is, no one can do anything else!Today, I’ve called you all here to discuss, please feel free to say whatever you want, no need to worry about being punished for your words, we will pool our wisdom, and discuss strategies together, the final decision will be a joint decision, and all the results will be borne by us, of course, this official and He Zhenshou, as well as the Duke of Wei will bear the primary responsibility.”
Hearing Zhang Jing say that he would not be condemned for his words, the group of officials could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and opened their mouths one after another.
“As the saying goes, if the soldiers come, then send troops out of the city to exterminate the Japanese. We have a large teaching field battalion, small school field battalion, Shenji battalion, patrol travelling battalion, new Jiangkou battalion and other capital battalion, no less than 100,000 soldiers, the so-called army of a thousand days to use the army for a while, this time from the battalion to select the best soldiers and strong generals, go out to destroy the Japanese is.”
“That’s it, and the battlefield is afraid of outsiders commanding insiders. I think ah, destroy the Japanese thing ah, by the ministry of war and you Beijing camp these insiders to do the main good, we these amateur ah, just knock on the side of the drum, in the city of Yingtian full co-operation with you, for you to wave the flag and shout for you, and wait for you to come back in triumph.”
“What does it mean? It means that when the Japanese invaders come to kill, it’s our business and none of yours, right?!”
“No, we are cooperating with each other, you insiders are going out to destroy the Japanese, we outsiders are banging on the side of the city and waving the flag.”
“Going out to destroy the Japanese? Oh, you say you’re amateurs, but you’re really amateurs. This out of the city to destroy the Japanese ah, greatly inappropriate, this group of Japanese bandits very brave, I think it is still fully defending the city is a foolproof plan …….”
“Defend the city with all your might? Shame on you, shame on you! Shangyu’s Japanese bandits but fifty or sixty people only, I should Tian 100,000 defenders, weekdays all the honourable, military school riding from the road to embrace, soldiers monthly to my Ministry of Food not less than eighty thousand, the so-called army of a thousand days with the army for a while, the court salary and grain grass to feed you, not for today? A mere fifty or sixty stormtroopers hold the door, you and other 100,000 defenders, but only dare to defend the city?
“What do you know ah, where what 100,000 defenders ah! Today, the large teaching field camp see the survival of soldiers only six thousand, small teaching field camp soldiers only nine thousand one hundred, the divine machine battalion soldiers only two thousand five hundred, patrol patrol battalion soldiers only three thousand six hundred, the new Jiangkou battalion soldiers only five thousand eight hundred……. We Yingtian total can fight the soldiers, a total of more than 30,000 less than 40,000.”
“More than 30,000 is still not enough? There are only about 50 Japanese pirates!”
“Although this Japanese is small, but it is very Japanese! Three days ago, the Imperial Commander of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu Province, Zhu Ping’an, Lord Zhu, had said that this Japanese is exceptionally brave and has good combat power. ……”
“Oh, you still have the face to mention Lord Zhu, in the beginning if you pay attention to Lord Zhu’s urgent military situation, why would it be today! Three days ago, Lord Zhu reminded Shangyu of the Japanese invaders who will attack Yingtian, and suggested deploying troops and setting up ambushes in the middle of the way, and as a result, you guys took Lord Zhu and Lord Zhu’s urgent military information as a joke, huh, now what, now see who is the joke again! If we had adopted Lord Zhu’s suggestion, this group of Japanese invaders would have been destroyed long ago, why would Jiangning be broken and Yingtian be attacked?!”
“Again, are you done. It’s too late to say anything now, yes, that’s right, we regretted it, regretted it, regretted that we didn’t listen to Lord Zhu’s advice at that time, but what can we do! Now that the Japanese have killed us, whether to go out of the city to exterminate the Japanese, or close the door and close the city, hurry up and come up with a charter.”
……
The assembly site began to be noisy again.
The main point of contention was the question of “war” or “defence”, and who should bear the responsibility of the Japanese.
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was red in the face, and his face was very red, smelly and embarrassing.
He had already heard more than one mention of Zhu Pingan’s emergency military situation three days ago.
In the assembly three days ago, Zhu Pingan’s reported emergency military situation was mainly dismissed by him, ridiculing Zhu Pingan for being a worrywart, leading the trend of ridiculing Zhu Pingan and treating Zhu Pingan as well as his emergency military situation as a joke.
Also, when he rested in the middle of the assembly, Lord Zhang Jing Zhang called out to him and asked him to pay proper attention and study Zhu Pingan’s urgent military intelligence ……He himself had dinner with a few of the chief commanders of the Beijing camp after the assembly, and mentioned it as a joke at the dinner table.
It is the Wuhu Imperial Palace and Jianyang Wei and other allied forces to combat the Japanese counterattack by the Japanese invaders were defeated, I also said to Zhang Shangshu, Shangyu of the Japanese invaders this time, although the victory, but also a disastrous victory, the loss of 20 to 30 people, no longer have the ability to attack the city, the ability to do evil, this group of Japanese invaders is no longer enough to worry about, the only way they have to flee ……
Who would have thought that the face-slapping would come so quickly, and that the Shangyu’s Japanese pirates with only fifty-seven people left would actually kill in Yingtian!
The face of ah!
I was already embarrassed, but these people still mention Zhu Pingan over and over again, so it’s really like mentioning the pot that doesn’t boil!
Yu Dayou stood in the corner of the meeting and watched with cold eyes the officials who were shirking their responsibilities and arguing about war and defence. He despised them for what they were discussing, what is there to discuss, there are only 50 Japanese invaders attacking and they have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they don’t dare to go out of the city to kill the Japanese, that’s really laughable!Unbelievable, the heart can not help but a little contempt for Lord Zhu, now look again, really ashamed ah, I really in vain for more than thirty years of the army! Lord Zhu is worthy of being a scholar, really great, even three days in advance predicted that the Japanese invaders in Shangyu will come to attack Yingtian! A tent in the air and a plan in the sky are the same as a man like Lord Zhu, he is really a young man!
Zhang Jing also watched the crowd’s discussion with cold eyes, and after hearing that the crowd tended to defend the city with all their might, he couldn’t help but knock on the table, scanning the crowd with a serious face, shaking his head and saying, “Gentlemen, defending the city with all your might is not an option!”
“Why?”The official who advocated defending the city at full strength could not help but ask.
“Why? Oh, the year before last, the northern capital of Shun Tian was besieged by the Tartars, what did the capital do at that time? And what about afterwards?”Zhang Jing coldly laughed, scanning the crowd said, “the capital forbidden army 50,000, all over the army of the king 80,000, the face of the Tartar soldiers and horses, all the generals do not dare to go out to war, someone also asked all the generals to hold the wall do not fight, the result is more than 100,000 troops, sitting on the Tartar soldiers and horses in the city outside the captivity of the ……Later, although the Tartar retreat, the capital is unharmed, but for my Ming, for the saint, is also a great shame, the military minister Ding Rukui ambushed, many people were punished! Now, the Shangyu of the Japanese invaders to attack Liudu Yingtian, you still have to defend the city with all your might, sit back and watch the Japanese invaders outside the city to burn, kill and loot? Ding Rukui and others have learnt a lesson from the past, and you still want to repeat the same mistake? Are you deceiving His Majesty?”
“Ah?!”
The group of officials who advocated defending the city with all their might broke out into a cold sweat when they heard this.
Yes, the year before last, when the Tartar soldiers attacked the capital, the capital was defending the city with all its might, and sat back and watched the Tartar soldiers and horses loot outside the city…….The saint thought a strange shame, ordered the beheading of the then presided over the defence of the Ministry of War, Ding Rukui, many officials received implicated, was the saint heavy chastisement! Yingtian is to stay in the capital, and now the Japanese invasion of Yingtian, the seriousness of the nature of the invasion of the capital is not much different from the invasion of the Iada!
Ding Rukui and others have learnt their lesson before!
If they do it again this time, it will be the second time! His Majesty’s wrath will be even greater than the year before!
Indeed, defending the city with all our might will not work!
