Ancient closed, backward means of news transmission, unlike modern news transmission so fast, fifty-seven Japanese invaders were all eliminated by the Zhejiang army news has not yet reached the city, only near the city gate of the Rifang heard the city on the head of the earth-shattering joyful cheers, know the news only, the vast majority of areas in the city do not know the news, the city is still shrouded in the threat of the Japanese invaders under the panic.
In the city, near the temple, there is a street called Scholar’s Alley, this alley has many inns as well as lodgings, and many of the candidates preparing for the imperial examinations will rent in this alley, to try to the good omen of the street’s name.
Of course, there are also some Jiangnan students who rent here to prepare for the examination, expecting to be ranked third in the coming year’s examination.
When the Japanese attacked, Zhang Jing and other big shots ordered the people of the city to be conscripted to help defend the city, and those who were preparing for the imperial examinations and lifts had certain privileges and status, unlike the ordinary people, so they were naturally exempted from being conscripted.
However, although they were exempted from going up to the city walls to assist in the defence, but when they met such a big disaster as the Japanese siege of the city, they were also in a state of panic, and did not have the heart to prepare for the examination.
Gui Youguang was one of the students who prepared for the examination in the Scholar’s Alley, and he was a relatively famous one. He is not young, forty-six this year. He is Jiajing nineteen years in the graduate, then thirty-five years old, the examiner Zhang Zhi is very respected and appreciate him, called him “national scholar”, praised as “Jia Yi, Dong Zhongshu in the world”, will be promoted to the second graduate, hope that he can be closer to a foot, early to become a scholar, as soon as possible, serve the court, play his role in the imperial court.He hoped that he could get a foot closer, become a scholar at an early date, and serve the imperial court as soon as possible and give full play to his talents.
However, it is a pity that, although he looked at the three generations of the two Han Dynasty of the text, read all the hundred schools of thought, talent far and wide, reputation, but why the examination luck is not good, a series of several times into the Beijing examination, all failed.
The year before last, he failed again, he lived in Yingtian Scholar Alley, while reading for the test, while talking about the Taoist lecture. Around the hundred miles around the bachelor have come, less time more than ten people, more time hundreds of people.
It can be said that there was no scholar in Scholar Alley who did not know Qui Youguang, and everyone honoured him as Mr. Zhenchuan.
When the Japanese were besieging the city, Mr Qui Youguang was studying the sutra in seclusion. He was suddenly inspired when he was using the toilet in the morning, and he had an original understanding of a passage of the sutra, and after cleaning himself, he went into the study to study in seclusion, and he also instructed his subordinates not to disturb him. By the time he was pulled out of the room by three friends it was already late at night.
Hearing that the Japanese were besieging the city, Gui Youguang had no intention to study the sutra, and accompanied his friends to the secret room for a while.
The room was secluded and secretive, with food and drink, wine and food, the four scholars were not interested in learning, and used the wine to be cynical about national affairs and current affairs, of course, the focus of their cynicism was still the Japanese invaders in Shangyu who were besieging the city.
“This group of Shangyu Japanese invaders, simply animals, inhuman!” a fat literati put down his glass of wine and sighed contently.
“That’s right, how many sins did this group of Japanese pirates commit in Shangyu, Weizhou, Shexian and other places before, but it’s far away from Yingtian, the feeling isn’t that deep, but Jiangning is right under the nose, the bloodshed committed by this group of Japanese pirates in Jiangning is really hard to write, it makes people sob and cry for three litres of blood ah!Bastard ah beast!”Fat literati next to the long bearded literati red eyes on the Japanese crown cursed, “too tragic ah, Jiangning battalion dead and wounded most of the Jiangning, Jiangning town into – a sea of fire, almost every family with filial piety ah. ”
“Nowadays, the trouble of the Japanese invaders is even worse than the trouble of the northern captives. Jiangnan is my Ming’s granary, but also my Ming’s money bag, the Japanese wreaked havoc in Jiangnan, this is the planing of my Ming’s roots ah. A dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant hole, not to mention, the harm of the Japanese invaders is far greater than the ants!”
Gui Youguang has a long term vision and a sense of worry, seeing the damage that the overseas Chinese invasion is doing to the foundation of the Great Ming, he could not help but sigh in contempt.
“Mr Zhenchuan’s insight is thought-provoking. Japanese invaders ravaged Jiangnan, food and taxes were greatly affected. Without food, without silver, how to pacify the northern captives, how to stabilise the southern border, how to stabilise everywhere. This Japanese invaders must be eliminated as quickly as possible, or as you said, the foundation of my Ming will be harmed by them!”
The fat literati was instantly inspired and nodded vigorously, agreeing with Gui Youguang’s comment.
“But how easy is it to get rid of the Japanese invaders as fast as possible!!!!How many years has it been since the Japanese invasion, so far, we have only seen it getting more and more intense, more and more, from the southeast to Shandong, we have not seen any hope of the Japanese invaders calming down. And this time, this group of Japanese pirates landed from Shangyu, deep into the interior of my Ming, more than 1,000 miles across, and broke more than ten states and counties, until today, even broke Jiangning, surrounded our Liudu Yingtian!This is Liudu!”
The last thin literati shook his head and let out a long sigh, permeated with dissatisfaction and helplessness.
“Brother Zhengtai, this time it was also a matter of haste, the Japanese invaders from Shangyu suddenly came to Yingtian, we knew nothing about the enemy, Yingtian raised the city in fear, the army and the people were all scared, so that this ……”The fat literati explained.
The thin literati heard Ji, could not help but let out a cold laugh, “Things out of haste?!Where is hasty!Jiangsu and Zhejiang Tidings and Pressure Inspection Division Commander Zhu Pingan is not as early as three days ago has already signalled the alarm?!It’s not as if the meat-eaters are despicable!”
“Zhu Pingan?But Zhu Zihou, the previous top scorer in the Imperial Examination?I have read all of his great works for the township and assembly examinations, and I am indeed ashamed of myself.”When Gui Youguang heard Zhu Pingan’s name, he instantly sat up straight and eagerly asked, “Brother Zhengtai, you just said that he signalled three days ago, and what is it about?”
“The ku situation is like this ……”The skinny literati gave Gui Youguang a detailed account of what happened, focusing on the episode where Zhu Pingan’s warning was laughed at as a joke.
After listening to the whole story, Qui Youguang sighed for a long time, deplorable, angry, all kinds of emotions filled his chest.
Zhu Ping’an’s alarm was spread all over half of Yingtian, and only Gui Youguang, who was there, did not know about it.
“In fact, even without Zhu Pingan’s warning, so what!The man, the capital guard can not be said to be not dense, weekdays all the Xungui riding from he embraced traffic in the road, the soldiers monthly please grain eighty thousand, is for today’s er. Today to fifty-seven storm troopers to hold the door, that is, Zhang Huang so, rather not great for the court of shame!”Long-bearded scholar hard a put tea cup, painfully scolded. +
“What?You said fifty-seven?There are only fifty-seven Japanese invaders?”When Gui Youguang heard fifty-seven Japanese invaders, the wine cup in his hand was not pinched and fell to the ground, incredulously seeking confirmation from the three men.
Long-bearded Scholar and the others nodded vigorously.
“Fifty-seven, fifty-seven, hahahaha ……”Gui Youguang heard the words, jaws are almost shocked off, the three views are destroyed, can not help but angry and laugh, laughing, hands suddenly forcefully beat up the chest, tilted the sky and let out a long sigh, tears fall like rain.
Alas ……
The three people in the room also couldn’t help but empathise and let out a long sigh.
“Mr Zhenchuan, great joy, great joy ……”At this time, an excited voice suddenly came from outside.
Then, a scholar pushed the door in, uncontrollably reporting to Gui Youguang and the others, “Fifty-seven Japanese invaders have already been annihilated by Commander Zhu Pingan of the Imperial Commander of the Department of Tidings and Pressures, leading the army, not sparing a single one of them, all of them killed, and their corpses have all been dragged here. Now, Lord Zhu has led the Zhejiang army into the city.”
“What? Is this really true?!”Gui Youguang and the others whooshed to their feet, their faces filled with the excitement of surprise.
“True, couldn’t be more true. The Japanese invaders are making a show of force during the day, which of the soldiers and civilians in the city have never seen them before, these Japanese invaders can be recognised even if they are turned into ashes, they have all been confirmed, and they are definitely the corpses of the Japanese invaders.”
The scholar’s face is sure to.
“Heavens, this is really great, Zhu Pingan deserves to be a scholar, truly a model of my generation! When floating a great white!”
“When floating a great white!”
Gui Youguang and the others were overjoyed, and the secret room became a sea of joy.
There were countless scenes like this in Yingtian City, the entire Yingtian was caught in a great surprise, and Zhu Pingan’s great name was instantly uncontrollable and unknown.
