After the two generals led the heavily armed and heavy soldiers down the city wall, Zhang Jing and other officials kept their eyes moving with them, closely following the developments.
“Why can’t I see that the beggar and prodigal son down there are the Japanese insiders? The rare beggar repaying his kindness and the prodigal son turning back, taking the initiative to ask for help to defend the city, don’t make the mistake of blaming people, this human heart ah, once it is chilled, it can’t be warmed back.”
Until this time, there are still many officials who are sceptical, individual officials on the city wall while watching and talking sarcasm.
“You also didn’t see that the Japanese pirates of Shangyu would come to attack and disturb Yingtian ah, and took the words of Xianpian nephew Ping’an’s warning as a joke, but what about now, the Japanese pirates of Shangyu are flaunting their weapons underneath the city, let’s see who’s the joke ……”
Wei Guo Gong disliked back not at all politely, choking those sceptical officials red in the face.
According to reason, as one of the three giants of Yingtian, his position in the officialdom of Yingtian is not generally high, but because he comes from a noble family, and is a military man, has always been the civil officials from the imperial examination, that Wei Guo Gong is just a rely on the shade of the ancestors of the martial arts, and the social atmosphere of the dynasty is the civil and military light, so Wei Guo Gong in the hearts of the people in the status of the far from the same as the Yingtian one of the three giants of Zhang Jing, and even the position of Eunuch He thanEven Eunuch He’s status is much higher than him, Wei Guo Gong heart has long been holding his breath.
To detain and screen beggars and ruffians to see if they are Japanese insiders is what he and Marquis Linhuai insisted on. These officials were criticising this move, which was criticising his Duke of Wei, so Duke of Wei disliked it unceremoniously.
Duke Wei bet on Zhu Pingan’s suggestion, apart from wanting to seek a piece of military credit, he wanted to bull pen, rebuild his prestige, win his rightful position, and make these civil officials who despised him think highly of him and respect him.
“Hmph, has Duke Wei forgotten that he was one of those who regarded Lord Zhu’s show of caution as a joke in the first place?!”
One of the officials grunted in defiance after being choked.
“Cough cough ……”Duke Wei made a blush and had to ease the embarrassment with a cough.
“We are aware of our mistakes and are able to change, unlike some people, who do not change their mistakes and add to their mistakes ……”Marquis Linhuai said helpfully.
“Hum ……If there are no Japanese insiders among the beggars and prodigal sons under the city, let’s see how you will end up.”
That official choked.
Soon, in the sight of the crowd, the two generals with their troops had arrived at the bottom of the city and came to the beggars and ronin.
“The adults appreciate you for knowing your gratitude, returning the prodigal son, and taking the initiative to defend the city; your request to assist in defending the city gates at the most dangerous gateway is even more appreciated and praised by the adults. The adults especially sent this general to commend you, rewarding each of you with a set of full body armour, allowing you to go to the front armoury to pick out your handful of blades, whether it be swords, lances, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, or bows, crossbows, and cannons, all of them are at your disposal, and at the same time, after this battle, licensed to stay in the barracks to serve, and treated the same as the other generals.”
A general stood in front of the beggar and the landlubber and said to them with an approving face.
Well, the acting was good, it didn’t reveal anything at all. Zhang Jing and other officials on the city were satisfied with the general’s performance.
“Thank you, my lord, I will definitely guard the city well, not letting the Japanese bandits set foot in the city for half a step, and live up to your lord’s expectations.”
The beggars and landlubbers underneath the city smiled at his words, and they all smiled happily, and they all made statements with true feelings.
“Look, this is the true feelings ……Where is there any Japanese insider ah.”Some officials on the city could not help but sigh with emotion when they saw this scene.
“Come on man, they will be brothers from now on, give each of these brothers a belt tag, then take them to receive their armour and blades.”The general beckoned and ordered the soldier holding a tray with stacks of waist medals on it.
“As ordered.”Behind the general, he answered and walked out several soldiers, holding trays with stacks of waist medals on them, they came to the beggars and landlubbers and distributed the waist medals to them one by one.
“Yell West ……”A head wrapped in a dirty turban beggar, led to the waist plate, can not help but smile with joy, a happy Japanese language out of the mouth. These Ming army is really great stupid, even so easy to achieve the purpose, such as receiving the armour and blades, must be “good” to help the Ming army guard the city gate.
Beside a beggar also wrapped in a turban face suddenly changed, the first time to reach out and kicked him a foot.
The beggar immediately realised that he was a bit out of character, but he also reacted very quickly, eyeballs a turn, and then quickly opened his mouth to remedy the situation, “吆西……Wash it, my hands are also too dirty, all dirty this waist plate.”
If the general did not know that these beggars and ruffians may hide the Japanese inside, may really be that beggar’s strain to mix over, but he led the task is to guard screening beggars and ruffians in the Japanese inside, so he has been paying attention to the beggars, ruffians every move, just that beggars out of the mouth out of the word “Yelp West”, the general’s eyelids could not help.The general’s eyelids can’t help but jump, on his face, he tried to make an expression as if nothing had happened, smiled and said to the beggar, “don’t need to wash, it’s not too late to wash it after the battle, you guys go to collect the armour and blades first, the Japanese invaders are now, everything is important for the overall situation.”
“Yes.”A crowd of beggars and landlubbers responded.
“There are a total of two temporary armour and blades supply offices under the nearby wall roots, and each supply office has four depots, in order to increase the speed, you guys are divided into eight teams, each team will go to one depot to collect the armour and blades, put on the armour and then come to assist in defending the city gates with the blades. You will take them to the depots to receive their armour and blades.”
The general ordered.
The beggars and landlubbers had no doubts and split into eight teams under the general’s command, led by the soldiers to different directions.
The eight storerooms were all at the base of the wall, in fact, they were all very close, and soon they arrived at the storeroom where the armour and blades were stored.
After all, it’s the armour and weapon storage room, it’s normal to have heavy guards, right?
After all is the armour and weapons warehouse well, the guards of the heavy disease heavily armed is also very normal right, close to the water tower first get the moon well.
After all, it is the armour and weapons storehouse, heavy troops to surround us is also very normal, right, ah? Wait! Why are we surrounded? Where’s the armour, where’s the weapons, why don’t we see anything?
This is not normal at all!!!
“What are you doing?”A beggar with his head wrapped in a scarf, his face changed drastically as he raised his voice and shouted.
“Changing your armour ah, take off your clothes, take off your headscarf, let us see how big an armour you fit, so we can give you armour ah. On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind, armour is a good thing, it can save your life when it matters. This is all because the superior officer is looking after you, so don’t be ungrateful.”
The heavily armed heavy soldiers surrounded the eight teams of beggars and landlubbers and ordered seriously and without refusal.
“Ahem, there is no need to be so preachy, just about the same.”The beggars and land ruffians waved their hands in succession, forced a smile and politely refused.
