Rise From the Humble

Closing the newspaper, Zhu Ping'an frowned and stared blankly for a long time. However, he felt that the newspaper was a little ridiculous.

There are only 150 Japanese pirates, how can they have such destructive power? ! First massacre the people of Funing Town, then defeat the 3,000-strong coalition of Shaoxing Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu, and then kill the returning censor Qian and his entourage!

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the coalition forces of Master Liu, the prefect of Shaoxing, and Xu Qianhu, with a total of 3,000 people in front and behind, were unable to do anything to the 150 Japanese pirates. They failed to kill the Japanese, and more than 600 people were killed themselves. Calculating this, on average each Japanese pirate killed four Ming soldiers? ! And can he leave unscathed? !

Are these pirates all special forces? ! Or is it that the Shaoxing Prefecture concealed information and that the Shaoxing Allied Forces were not 3,000 strong, but 300 strong? !

Shaoxing Prefecture may conceal the report, but it will never be this kind of figure. If the local officials in Shaoxing want to cover up the failure of the Japanese pirates, they will only exaggerate the number of Japanese pirates and reduce the number of their own coalition forces. If the enemy has many people and we have few soldiers, then it is understandable that we will be defeated; if the enemy has few people and we have many soldiers, then we should not be defeated!

Zhu Ping'an also knew the current situation of the Ming army. There were many old, weak, sick and disabled, insufficient training, and serious deterioration in combat effectiveness. But after all, there were only three thousand trained soldiers. With such a large base, there must be soldiers in their prime and capable of fighting. A thousand people, this strength advantage should be enough to wipe out more than a hundred Japanese pirates.

However, the fact is just the opposite.

If it is true as recorded in Tang Bao, it can only mean that: first, the guardsmen are so weak that they cannot bear a battle; second, this group of Japanese pirates is extraordinary, and their fighting ability is far superior to that of ordinary Japanese pirates, just like special forces compared to ordinary soldiers. This group of Japanese pirates is a special kind of Japanese pirates.

Do such pirates exist? !

existing.

At least Zhu Pingan believed it, because Zhu Pingan had read a modern record about Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty. A group of fifty Japanese pirates marched straight in, brazenly attacked the heavily guarded Nanjing City, and escaped without a trace. In the end, the Ming army paid a heavy price With heavy casualties, it took a lot of effort to encircle and wipe out this group of fierce Japanese in Suzhou.

Fifty Japanese pirates were able to attack Nanjing City, and retreated completely!

Therefore, it is not impossible for 150 Japanese pirates to defeat the coalition forces of Master Liu and Xu Qianhu, the prefect of Shaoxing.

This is a dangerous slug!

Zhu Pingan came to a seemingly nonsense conclusion.

We must pay more attention!

According to the records in the Tang Newspaper, these Japanese pirates disappeared by the Qiantang River. I don’t know where their next attack target will be. Calculating the distance, Qiantang River is far away from Taohuaji, but it is neither far nor far away. Therefore, we must be vigilant and strengthen our vigilance to prevent this group of Japanese pirates from fleeing to the vicinity to commit crimes.

In addition, Tang Bao also emphasized that all ministries are on standby, and they will immediately move out as soon as there is a transfer order.

Although there are many regular troops near Yingtian Mansion, and according to common sense, it is estimated that there is no need for his own militia, but it is not certain, and he must be prepared to be recruited to participate in the suppression of Japanese pirates.

This group of Japanese pirates is no ordinary fierce Japanese!

The Shaoxing Allied Forces had a total of 3,000 men, more than 1,000 of whom were regular troops from the garrison. They were unable to deal with this group of Japanese pirates. The 700-year-old militia, which had only been trained for more than half a month, was certainly no match.

Need to further strengthen the training! So as not to become cannon fodder and affect the overall situation of the Japanese suppression!

"This group of Japanese pirates is extraordinary. We must be prepared to be mobilized to fight against this group of fierce Japanese pirates. We must further strengthen our training. We should sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. We must be strong when we are forging iron."

In the afternoon, Zhu Ping'an summoned all the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army at the Taohuaji School Ground, and announced the contents of the Tang newspaper to everyone in a concise and concise manner, so that they could be prepared to be mobilized to suppress Japanese invaders, and stressed that training should be further strengthened.

At the same time, in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for training, Zhu Pingan also specially held a solemn flag-presenting ceremony for Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou, and He Bridegroom.

"Zhu Daniu, step forward to receive the flag! The red color must always be dyed, and the tip of the knife must be sharpened. I give you the sharp knife flag, and I hope you will continue to work hard, and don't let the name of the sharp knife live up to it!"

"Lin Ergou, step forward to receive the flag! The soldiers are full of courage, and Feidi breaks the wolf camp. I give you the Feidi flag, and I hope you will continue to work hard, and don't let Feidi's name live up to it!"

"Congratulations to the bridegroom, step forward to receive the flag! The tiger warrior wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and will not return it until he breaks the enemy's camp. I give you the armor-piercing flag. I hope you will continue to work hard and not live up to the name of armor-piercing!"

Zhu Pingan personally awarded the sharp knife flag, flying dysprosium flag, and piercing flag to Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou, and He Bridegroom.

"The flag is there and the people are there, but the flag is dead and the people are dead!"

After Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou and He Bridegroom took over the Wu flag, they led the three Wu soldiers to kneel down and swear.

After the flag was presented, the Zhejiang Army began training. Zhu Pingan increased the intensity of their training. Zhu Pingan ordered everyone in the Zhejiang army to make two small sandbags, and ordered them to tie them to their legs for training.

In addition, Zhu Pingan also added musket shooting training to them, and borrowed 10 musket instructors from the water army camp in Linhuaihou to teach them musket shooting. On the basis of respecting the teachings of musketeers, Zhu Pingan also combined modern experience to hang a brick on the barrel of the gun to strengthen their stability training.

Zhu Pingan received the pond report, and Hu Zongxian, who was inspecting the "Zhenwei Camp" in the Beijing camp, also received the pond report.

"What?! Old Yushi Qian was killed!!!"

Hu Zongxian was shocked, sad and angry after seeing the record in the Tang newspaper that Qian Lao Yushi's family was killed by Japanese pirates!

Hu Zongxian had been taken care of by Mr. Qian before, and he was grateful to Mr. Qian. Therefore, he sent troops to escort Mr. Qian back home when we parted in Yingtian the day before yesterday. However, he did not expect that the farewell the day before yesterday would actually become a Heaven and man are separated forever! More than a hundred soldiers and more than a hundred police escorts could not prevent this tragedy!

"This group of Japanese pirates is full of evil! I swear to cut you into pieces!" Hu Zongxian slammed the table hard and said angrily.

"Back to the city!"

After reading the Tang newspaper, Hu Zongxian was no longer in the mood for inspection. He hurriedly ended his inspection of Zhenwei Camp and hurriedly returned to Yingtian Inner City. After entering the city, he went to the Ministry of War non-stop. First, he checked the details of the Japanese invasion. The second is to meet with Zhang Shangshu to discuss the suppression of Japanese invaders.

Hu Zongxian saw more detailed information about the Japanese invasion in the archives of the Ministry of War as he wished, and saw more details that were not recorded in the Tang newspaper, including a detailed on-site description of the murder of Mr. Qian, who was stabbed and his head was cut off. , not even a whole body was left behind, the concubines who were in the sedan were disheveled, and no one in the family, old or young, survived... The more Hu Zongxian looked at it, the more he hated and killed the Japanese pirates. He gritted his teeth and swore: "I won't kill them." This group of Japanese pirates, I feel sorry for the emperor, I feel sorry for the people who were killed, and I feel sorry for Mr. Qian.

A family of young and old! "

"Master Hu, Master Zhang has invited you." The officer came in to announce.

"Thank you!"

Hu Zongxian nodded and thanked him, and went with the officer to see Zhang Jing.
