Night falls, the Zhejiang army camped outside the city, a from from the campfire like starry lights.
Zhejiang army eat big fish and meat, roasted book fire, Yuan owns a lot of will be on the gas is not flat, constantly snorting scolding the city officials and soldiers are black hearted maggots, cold-blooded snakes and worms, en will hate revenge of the Dongguo wolves and so on.
“What are you blindly shouting ah, did not listen to the adults said ah, without a few pig teammates, and how to set off our Zhejiang army show it. Previously, more than fifty Japanese siege of the city, the city of 100,000 troops do not dare to put a fart, cowering in the high walls, and my Zhejiang army only 800 more, a drum drum momentum like a tiger, brazenly to the Japanese attack, the Japanese defeated the Japanese fleeing …… in distress.Oh, the more the people on the city are abashed, the more fierce we are set off, a comparison, has been the face of the officials on the city are swollen, did not see those big officials on the city have no face to show up?!”
“Hey, so it seems, they close the city gate or a good thing, we beat away the Japanese invaders can still scare them to close the city gate, really goat to the grandmother’s house to go, the city officials and soldiers still have a handle?The first time I saw this, I thought it would be a good idea to take off my trousers…….”
“Hmph, wait for it, until late at night, the lord led us to do great things, we must be famous all over the world, the city officials and soldiers are destined to stink for ten thousand years. By then, the swollen face of the city can be beaten by us to bleed, let them look at us have to be ashamed of the crotch to go. Hehehe, by that time, people with clear eyes will know how excellent our lord and our Zhejiang army are, and how incompetent the Yingtian defenders are!”
……
After eating and drinking a lot, the Zhejiang army generals laughed and laughed and were in a happy mood.
The sky is dark, the feast is finished, Zhu Pingan ordered all the soldiers and horses to go into the tent to sleep except for fifty guard sentries, that is, if they can’t sleep, all of them have to lie down on the grass bunks and rest with their eyes closed to recuperate their strength!
The Zhejiang army side ate well and slept well, and the Japanese side wasn’t bad either.
Japanese since the city peacefully to the southeast after the withdrawal, at first also ambushed in a forest waiting for the Zhejun pursuit, when the Zhejun pursuit and then rushed out of the woods to attack and kill, but the Zhejun rushed dry retreat is also dry, after the retreat, simply did not chase again.
The Japanese ambushed a lonely.
“This Zhejian army is also too wimpy, at first they rushed towards our army, this general thought they were a strong army, but I didn’t think that there is no difference with other Ming army, they are all wimpy to the home.”
Nao Nabeshima walked out from the woods, spat a mouthful of thick spit and mockingly cursed.
“The leader of this Zhejian army is an imperial noble curfew, and would not be able to commit a dangerous offence, the party rushed over, but it is just speculation. They don’t know how long they’ve been hiding in the woods there, until they cut out Matsushita and the others on Yingtian City, and they’re sure that we’ll hopelessly retreat, which is why they rushed out to bluff for fame. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than speculation. These imperial aristocrats are the most life-thirsty of all, and will quit as soon as they see fit, and if expectations are correct, they won’t come back until we set sail into the sea ……”
Matsuura Sanbanro looked away from the direction of Yingtian, disdainfully withdrew his mouth, the Zheijiang army is contemptuous.
“That means they won’t persecute?”Nao Nabeshima asked.
Matsuura Sanbanro nodded without hesitation, confidently saying, “Now Yingtian is a scared bird, and the Zhejian army is desperate to speculate, if we don’t turn back and attack the city, they’ll be thankful for that they don’t dare to pursue.”
“Yanxi!Then go south to find a manor, eat and drink, rest and recuperate for the night, tomorrow the southeast into Wuxi, into Suzhou sail into the sea, back to the fat front to His Highness to resume orders.”Nao Nabeshima ordered.
“Itadai!Itadai!”
Hearing the news of entering the sea to return to Japan, a group of Japanese pirates wailed with excitement. After charging and killing for so long in Daming and robbing so many precious gold, silver and jewellery, they were also homesick and wanted to return to their homeland in glory and show off their might.
At once, a group of Japanese pirates, led by Nabeshima Mano and Matsuura Sanbanro, sang a fat front song and swaggered forward.
A few miles ahead, the Japanese came across a small village, but the villagers had all dragged their families away and rolled away everything of value and food, leaving behind only some inconvenient and worthless household goods.
The name of the village was Guo Village, which can be learnt from the stone tablet erected at the entrance of the village.
When the Japanese came into the village and searched, they didn’t find much, only half a bag of grain.
They could not eat the grains directly, but had to grind them into rice, so they threw the grains away, cursing and moving on.
What they didn’t know was that there was an inconspicuous but not difficult to find secret cellar in the backyard of Guo Village Lizheng’s house, in which there were a lot of grains, black meat and bacon, and old bottles of wine. However, the Japanese were not particularly careful in their search, and left without finding anything of value, missing the secret cellar.
Not far away from Guo Village is Niucun, and the Japanese came out from Guo Village and entered Niucun. Niucun, just like Guo Village, also had a thousand or two villagers who took away all the valuable things and food.
The Japanese in Niucun searched a pass, neither found much valuable things, nor found much food, very angry, if not want to expose too much of the trail, they are going to Guo Village, Niucun a fire burned.
Similarly, the Japanese are also not carefully searched, did not find in the cattle village mansion biggest and richest wealth owner under the wall root there is a cellar. The cellar also hid a lot of grain, chicken and duck in sauce, as well as several jars of fine red wine.
After successively eating dust in Guo Village and Niucun, the Japanese entered Zhangjiazhai, and Zhangzuka Village was also empty.
However, Zhangjiazhai is worthy of being a famous and affluent walled city in the neighbourhood, and the Japanese found a cellar in the ancestral hall of the old Zhang family in Zhangjiazhai, and in the deepest part of the cellar there were dozens of sacks of grain, more than ten tanks of flour, dozens of altars of good wine, dozens of altars of sauces, and dozens of strips of preserved meat hanging on the roof of the cellar …….
Not only that, the Japanese found two big black pigs as well as five goats and a flock of chickens, ducks and geese deep in the Zhang family patriarch’s garden, and several bags of grain were placed on the ground for these livestock to nibble on. Obviously, the Zhang family members fled in a hurry and could not take these livestock away in time, so they could only hide them in the garden and throw a few bags of grain with the intention of bringing them home again when they came back from their escape.
All of these were cheaper for the Japanese.
The Japanese occupied the most luxurious Zhang family patriarch’s house in the Zhang family fortress and used his small two-storey mansion as a temporary base camp, gathering all the grain and wine as well as the pigs and chickens and ducks that had been scavenged from the Zhang family’s ancestral halls into the courtyard.
“Build rice, kill pigs and slaughter sheep ……The sons and daughters have been working hard all day with their feet in Yingtian, so give them a good treat.”
Nao Nabeshima ordered with a wave of his hand.
“General, wait. In order to prevent accidents, lest the Ming people poison, it is not too late to verify it for a moment before using it as usual. Although the possibility of this is close to zero, and the Ming are cowardly and don’t know where we landed today, but there is no harm in being prepared, and we are about to go back to Hizen to resume our orders, so it is better to be careful.”
Matsuura Sanbanro stepped forward and pointed to the grain wine within the courtyard, gently reminding.
“Oh, Sanbanro you are just being careful, but there is nothing wrong with being careful, so let’s verify it first as usual.”Nabeshima Mano smiled and nodded, directing the Japanese pirates to verify that there were no problems with the grain wine and meat.
Japanese pirates will flour, pickles and also wine poured into a few pots to feed pigs and chickens and ducks, waiting for a small half an hour, found that the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, etc. are unharmed, then put down their hearts, killing pigs and slaughtering goats and stewing and roasting meat, and noodles and pancakes …….
Soon, the Zhang family mansion wafted out the smell of meat, the smell of wine ……
