Before dawn, the losses caused by the night attack of the Japanese invaders were finally counted, and the losses of the military camps as well as the people were heavy.
Undoubtedly, the people suffered the most casualties, in this night attack, there were 639 people died (more than 200 people were cut down by the Japanese, more than 300 people were burnt by the Japanese, and about 100 people were trampled by their own people when they were fleeing for their lives), and more than 700 people were injured. This is still Zhu Pingan left behind the Zhejiang army and Linhuai Hou’s Jianghuai army rushed to camp in time to rescue the people, otherwise the casualties of the unarmed people would have been even heavier.
As for the armies, the casualties were also heavy.
Heqing army of 1,000 soldiers and horses, in this Japanese night attack, four hundred and three people died, the same as the people, there are Japanese hacked to death, there are Japanese burned to death, there are also fleeing when trampled on Ran, more than 200 people were injured, and seventeen people disappeared, not seen in life, not seen in death, I don’t know if it is to escape from life in the sea, fell into the river or as a deserter; in addition, there are ninety-eight military tents were Japanese torched, with the army’s grain and grass was also burned by the Japanese.The army was also burned by the Japanese pirates.
Shen Xiyi army of one thousand soldiers, in this Japanese night attack, three hundred and seventy people died, more than two hundred people were injured, there are also twenty-one people missing, eighty-five army tents were burned by the Japanese, grain and grass was also burned particles of existence.
Tang Ke Kuan’s army of two thousand soldiers and horses, four hundred and six dead, more than three hundred wounded, seventeen people are missing, one hundred and eight army tents were burned.
Yu Dayou’s army of three thousand soldiers and horses, three hundred and ninety-eight dead, more than three hundred wounded, no one missing, one hundred and nineteen tents were burned.
Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua’s army of 2,000 soldiers suffered the heaviest casualties, with 587 killed in the Japanese night attack, 436 wounded, 56 missing, 185 tents burned, and all the food in the camp burned.
The Marquis of Linhuai, under Zhu Pingan’s fierce and sharp words of agitation, reluctantly implemented three or four points of the proposal, only making the patrolling guards and the guards of the yamen gate to keep a good lookout to prevent the Japanese from attacking at night, but even if only three or four points of the proposal were implemented, the JACA’s loss was the smallest among all the armies. The JAC with 3,000 soldiers and horses lost 107 men, more than 30 were wounded, no one was missing, and only seventeen military tents were burned down.
Only Zhu Pingan’s Zhejian army camp had no casualties, no missing persons, and no tents or provisions were burnt.
After receiving the results of the Japanese night attack losses, Zhu Pingan sighed, depressed, and walked out of the marshal tent, sitting on a mound, blowing the cold wind for a long time, before cooling down a cavity of angry and unfair hot blood.
These losses, in fact, were all avoidable.
If yesterday evening, Zhao Wenhua listened to his own advice and made all the military camps ready to guard against the night attack of the Japanese invaders, would the armies have been able to have such significant casualties and property losses?!The innocent people who came to see the sea sacrifice would not have such huge casualties either!!!
However, Zhao Wenhua, who presided over the sea festival, did not take his suggestion seriously at all!Not only do not take it seriously, but even dislike himself for disturbing him and Hu Zongxian to write a sea sacrifice Shunli completed to ask for credit.
Governor Zhang Jing, although he thought that his suggestion was not a nonsense of mediocrity, but also did not take his suggestion too seriously, otherwise he even if he was forced by Zhao Wenhua with the imperial decree to take away the right to preside over the Sea Sacrifice, but as the governor of the armies of the south of the Yangtze River, to make all the armies to raise their alertness and vigilance of the Japanese night attack, and which generals dare not listen to his words?!
Of course, can not be too much to Zhang Jing, after all, by Zhao Wenhua to the name of the imperial decree and His Majesty took away the right to sacrifice the sea, he really do not want to see Zhao Wenhua that villainous face, and therefore no longer intervene in the matter of the sacrifice of the sea, so as not to have any intercourse with Zhao Wenhua.
It was just that, after all, it was the common people and generals who bore the casualties that could have been avoided.
These casualties could have been avoided if they had followed their own advice to raise the alert and be prepared.
However, the casualties that could have been avoided were the ones that still happened because of the lack of attention from the higher-ups.
This was the reason for Zhu Pingan’s angry displeasure.
This was already the second time.
Two months ago, the dozens of Japanese pirates attacking Yingtian was the first time, and that time as well, he had rushed to Yingtian to signal the alarm, but he was not taken seriously, and was even ridiculed to the point that the historical tragedy repeated itself.
Again and again, the warning was ignored.
Scene after scene of tragic tragedy played out, the accumulated anger and injustice in Zhu Pingan’s heart made him almost unable to contain it. He could only walk out of the tent and let the cold wind of the waxing moon cool down his blood.
At this time, the seed of power in Zhu Pingan’s heart has already broken through the ground and stretched out the shoots with vigour.
If I take power, I don’t have to put my hopes on others, I can give orders myself.
Since, in the future, Hu Zongxian can be the Governor, why can’t I be the Governor?!
Knowing history well, I will do a better job than Hu Zongxian, this, Zhu Pingan had confidence in.
In addition, Hu Zongxian’s character, Zhu Pingan does not agree with, especially today after seeing him actively cooperate with Zhao Wenhua and withholding the black pot of Zhang Jing, Zhu Pingan sees his character a little more clearly. Historically, Hu Zongxian has made great achievements in the fight against Japan, but his reputation is not obvious, and he cannot be compared with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, precisely because he has a bad character and a bad reputation.
Zhu Pingan thought to himself that he would do better as a governor.
For Zhang Jing.
To be honest, Zhu Pingan was actually not in complete agreement with Zhang Jing’s idea of suppressing the Japanese.
Although Zhang Jing’s idea of suppressing the Japanese was correct, but the correct idea of suppressing the Japanese was not the only one.
Insufficient troops had a way of fighting with insufficient troops, they could actively defend, they could fight small battles, and they could also concentrate their limited troops to fight local battles; local soldiers and horses with poor fighting power also had a way of fighting with poor fighting power, they could practice while fighting, practice while fighting, and they could grow up in the fire of war.
Growing up.
It is not necessary to have wolf soldiers in place to carry out Japanese suppression operations. If you have the strength, use as much strength as you can.
Zhu Ping An could not stand to see the people being burned and looted by the Japanese invaders.
In short, in Zhu Pingan’s opinion, what Zhang Jing did was still not good enough and was done slowly.
As for Zhao Wenhua, Zhao Wenhua is a first-class person who is able to fix people, grab credit, and dump pots, and when it comes to fighting the Japanese, he is not even close to Zhao Kuo, who was a military man on paper, and directing the fight against the Japanese is a complete disaster.
Compared to them, I can do better …….
Jiangnan Governor, this big position, I also want to fight, of course, Zhu Pingan also know that now his own qualifications and achievements, as well as contacts, are far from enough to sit on this position, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, step by step, towards this position forward.
Zhu Pingan got up from the dirt bag, patted his bum, and exhaled a long breath.
“Hey yeah, want to fly up to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun, the world is waiting for me to change, want to dream from not being afraid of others to see, here I can achieve ……”
In the cold wind, Zhu Pingan slowly walked towards the central army marquee, inside the mouth humming the tunes of an unseasoned tune ……
