Rise From the Humble

In late autumn and September, there is not a single cloud in the sky. The scorching sun is like fire, scorching the heaven and earth with a scorching heat. There is no gentleness at all. The earth is steaming like a boiler, and the city walls of Taiping County seem to be melted.

Both the city and the city were scorched, but the scenes were completely different, one was like winter and the other was like summer.

The Japanese pirates in the city were relatively quiet, and even though they were yelling and shouting to kill, they were not very orderly. The army below the city beat their war drums loudly, waving more than a hundred military flags, and shouted to kill one after another, neatly and rhythmically.

The leader of the Japanese pirates, Heihachiro, held his hands on the wall and squinted his eyes suspiciously at the army below the city.

Zhu Ping'an stood in the middle of the army, looking at the city with the corners of his lips raised, his eyes as dark as ink, seemingly brighter than the sun in the sky.

"Baga, cough cough cough. Jingnan, it turned out to be the Ming army in Jingnan! That insidious little thief dared to lead troops and call for battle! The last time they attacked the city, they just relied on the advantage of the city, and they dared to come to the field to fight. It's really I don’t know how the word “death” is written! Ahem, cough, leader, please give me five hundred troops. Ahem, cough, this time I must twist off that little thief’s head and wash away the shame on me, Yuji Aso!”

Aso Yuji appeared behind the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro with a pale and sickly face. After seeing the "Jingnan" flag under the city, he cursed excitedly as if he saw a bull with red cloth, and a trace of blood appeared on his pale and sickly face. , kneeling on the ground with a thud, pressing his legs with his hands, lowering his head, and excitedly asked Heihachiro for a battle.

However, Aso Yuji seemed to be seriously ill. When he asked for a fight, he coughed uncontrollably. His body while kneeling on the ground was a little unstable, shaking from time to time, as if he was about to fall.

Yes, Yu Aso cured the disease. That day, when Taiping County was captured, Aso Yuji made great achievements. At the celebration banquet, the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro greatly rewarded Aso Yuji. He was so happy that Aso Yuji drank a lot of wine and got drunk on the spot. Early the next morning, Aso Yuji felt dizzy, coughed and had a runny nose, and was sweating. Aso didn't take it seriously at first, thinking he had caught a cold after drinking too much, so he followed their Japanese prescription. I grabbed the herbal medicine and drank it several times, but it didn't work, so I started to take it seriously. After hearing the news, the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro specially recruited several doctors from Taiping County to treat him, but the effect was not very good and his body became weaker and weaker.

In fact, there were quite a few Japanese pirates who fell ill like Aso Yuji, but the symptoms were somewhat different, the onset time was different, and the severity of the illness was also different, so the Japanese pirates did not pay attention to it.

If Zhu Ping'an were here, he could tell at a glance that Aso Yuji and the others were having a tetanus attack.

Once tetanus breaks out, there is basically nothing that can be done with the level of medical care in ancient times. It is an incurable disease. If there is medicine, it is just a dead horse. It depends on luck. Once the disease breaks out, curry is basically given.

Therefore, Aso Yuji and others are basically dead people. This is the power of gold juice.

"Aso-kun, your shame has been washed away in Taiping Suimen. You are not well yet, so you should rest first and take good care of your body. When you get to Taizhou Mansion, you can perform well."

The pirate leader Heihachiro glanced at Aso Yuji who was kneeling on the ground asking for a fight. He noticed that he was weak and sick. He couldn't even kneel firmly but still asked to stand. He couldn't help but waved his hand and rejected Aso Yuji's request for a fight.

"Leader, the Blue Mountain Guard and the Golden Ox Guard are the guards of the Jinhua Mansion. Without military orders, the Ming Guard garrison is not allowed to send troops across the border. The Ming army under the city has erected the flags of the "Blue Mountain Guard" and "Golden Ox Guard" , I’m afraid it’s a false name. The counties we plundered are not just one or two. Once we cross the border, the Ming army will stop eating. We have never encountered such a situation."

There was a fake Japanese who was originally a guard soldier. He failed to suppress the Japanese but was suppressed by the Japanese. He took refuge with the Japanese and became a fake. He looked at the wall for a moment and consciously saw the flaw. He walked over and said to the leader Heihachiro. .

"Hmph! Don't you think this governor doesn't know?! The guards can't send troops across the border without permission! Can a county magistrate leave the country without permission?! According to your Ming Dynasty system, if a magistrate leaves his post without permission, the crime is not small! Did you see that little thief in official uniform below the city? Isn’t he the magistrate of Jingnan? Why are you here in Taiping County?!”

The leader of the Japanese pirates, Heihachiro, squinted his eyes and stared at the fake Japanese like a poisonous snake. He snorted and asked coldly. He seemed to know a lot about the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations. Not only did he know that garrison troops could not be mobilized across borders, but he also knew that county magistrates could not leave their posts without authorization.

"Yes, yes, the leader is teaching me that the little one talks too much."

The fake Japanese was glared at by the leader, Heihachiro, and was stunned for a moment. He was immediately speechless. He nodded and bowed again and again, becoming more of a grandson than a grandson. He came from the guard station and knew that the guard station could not move across the border without permission without a military order from the peak, but he didn't know whether the county magistrate could leave his post without permission.

"This little thief is very cunning. The last time he raided Jingnan, he failed because of this little thief. As a county magistrate, how could this little thief not know the consequences of leaving his post without authorization? Since he dared to leave Jingnan without authorization, Did you receive the order? I have heard about your Ming Dongchang and Jinyiwei for a long time. Did this little thief receive the order through the factory guard?!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates, Heihachiro, stared at the figure in official attire at the bottom of the city with a faint fear.

The last time Zhu Ping'an left a deep impression on him in Jingnan, especially when compared with the magistrate of Taiping, the impression deepened a lot. A group of common people with hoes in his hands can stop my warriors and cause me to lose troops in a small county town. What if it is the Ming army from two guard posts? ! Although I am confident that even if this little thief leads two armies, he is no match for me in a field battle. However, it is inevitable that I will lose troops and generals. This little thief is not as stupid as the Taiping magistrate.

The most important thing is that today is the day to meet up with Jiang Clan Master, so there is not much time to delay. When he thinks of Jiang Clan Master, the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro is even more afraid, several times more fearful than Zhu Ping'an. Jiang Clan Master has wanted to annex him for more than a day or two. I have already lost half of my troops in the attack on Jingnan a few days ago. Although I have replenished some in Taiping this time, these Japanese pirates have never seen blood. Without several bloody battles, they will not be able to get on the stage. If After losing his troops and missing the rendezvous time, Master Jiang will definitely not let go of this opportunity. He will definitely take the opportunity to accuse him and, together with that fair-weather monk Tiejingang, annex his tribe.
