Rise From the Humble

How did this group of Japanese pirates break through the Huizhou Pass? ! The pass is not a county wall that has been in disrepair for a long time. It is the superposition of natural terrain and human infrastructure. No matter how elite and powerful this group of 150 Japanese pirates are, they want to break through the ancient natural pass with cold weapons. It's no more than a fool's dream.

Why did this group of Japanese pirates go all the way west and deep into the interior? ! The eastern coastal area is not only rich but also easy to escape into the sea, while the western inland area is barren and difficult to retreat. The Japanese pirates' behavior is obviously unreasonable.

Another point, this group of Japanese pirates are too aggressive? ! They landed in Shangyu and massacred Funing Town. They obviously had time to cross the river directly from Funing Town, but they occupied a courtyard in the town. They feasted and drank while waiting for the Shaoxing Prefecture coalition forces to come to encircle and suppress them. After fighting, they crossed the river and left; Qian When the old censor returned home from his official duties, he was escorted by one hundred regular troops, more than one hundred officers, and dozens of guards. He was obviously not a soft persimmon, but this group of Japanese pirates ambushed and attacked them. Then they marched west to Changhua, and followed five hundred generals. The magistrate of Changhua County fought a battle; then he went west to Yuqian County, where Dian Shi of Yuqian County led his troops, officers, and civilians to suppress the Japanese. This group of Japanese pirates had detected it in advance and could obviously avoid it, but they did not and chose to Taking the initiative to set up an ambush and attack. Zhu Pingan took a closer look and found that after this group of Japanese pirates landed, they would fight and fight when they encountered officers and soldiers. Fight with the officers and soldiers somewhere! Zhu Ping'an was puzzled that this group of Japanese pirates were so arrogant and liked to fight with officers and soldiers.

These three questions have been bothering Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan thought hard for a long time, but could not get a reasonable answer.

"Only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you win a hundred battles. If you don't know the enemy, you will easily suffer losses on the battlefield."

Zhu Pingan touched his chin and whispered to himself.

Forget it, it's been a long time since Tian responded. Today I will go to Yingtian. While reporting on my work, I will also go to the Ministry of War and other agencies to check the detailed information of this group of Japanese pirates since they landed, and learn as much as possible about the situation of this group of Japanese pirates.

"Liu Mu, Ruofeng." Zhu Pingan called.

"The general is here." Liu Mu and Ruofeng heard the order and stepped forward with fists clasped.

"I will go to Yingtian and I will be back before evening. Daily matters such as training in the camp will be decided by the two of you through discussion. If the matter is important, then wait until I come back." Zhu Pingan said to the two of them.

"Follow the order!" Liu Mu and Ruofeng took the order.

"Sir, there have been many Japanese invasions recently. For the sake of safety, I would like to ask you to bring more people with you on this trip."

Liu Mu reminded.

Zhu Pingan thought for a moment, nodded, and accepted Liu Mu's suggestion, "Okay, I will send someone forward later."

Zhu Pingan signed a temporary authorization for daily matters to Liu Mu and Ruofeng, and then took Liu Dadao and a sentry horse to Yingtian City.

When Zhu Ping'an arrived in Yingtian, he first went to the Yamen of Tixingjianchasi to report to Mr. Zhetai on the formation of the Zhejiang Army in the past half month.

"I'm going to pay my respects to Mr. Nedai."

After entering the yamen of the Procurator's Office, Zhu Ping'an came to the office room in Zedai and knocked on the door to pay his respects.

"Oh, it turns out to be Zihou, please come in quickly. We haven't seen each other for a few days, but why are you so polite? Come and sit down quickly." When Zhang Zhengtai saw Zhu Pingan, he greeted Zhu Pingan warmly to come in and sit down.

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Nitai." Zhu Pingan smiled and cupped his hands to express his thanks and sat down.

"The life in the military camp is not as good as in the city. After half a month of separation, Zi Houqing has lost a lot of weight, which has made you suffer."

Zhang Zhen looked Zhu Pingan up and down and found that Zhu Pingan had lost almost a circle, and expressed concern with feeling.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Nitai. Although I have lost a lot of weight, the fat on my body has turned into strong muscles. Although life in the military camp is not as convenient as in the city, it is not hard to say. Peach Blossom Ji has a beautiful environment and fresh air. It’s suitable for living, it’s not far from Taohua Market Town, and the supply of supplies isn’t a problem.”

Zhu Pingan replied with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, bent his arms, and his biceps suddenly swelled.

In the military camp for more than half a month, Zhu Ping'an has been supervising the training of the Zhejiang Army, and he has been following the training. I don’t want to be a strong general who charges into battle, which is unrealistic. I just don’t want to be a weak scholar. I want to be physically stronger and lead troops in battles in the future, so that my weak body will not hinder my military plans!

After half a month, the results were good, the biceps were bulging, and the eight-pack abs also had a vague outline.

"Well, you are worthy of being Zihou. Only by enduring hardships can you become a master. If all of them can have the consciousness of Zihou, my life will be easier." When Zhang Zhitai saw this, he couldn't help shouting for Zhu Ping'an. Say hello and praise.

"Your Excellency, this is a ridiculous compliment, and Ping An is not worthy of it." Zhu Ping An quickly said modestly.

"By the way, what's the current situation of the militia?" Zhang Zhengtai asked, "Can the bandit soldiers be disciplined?"

"I was about to report to Mr. Nedai. At the beginning of the establishment of the army, Ping'an dispersed and reorganized the troops in each village. He established the military law "Four Iron Laws and Eighteen Kills" and strictly implemented it. With Mr. Nedai as his backing, the supply of food and grass increased. It is considered sufficient, with military law as a rein, food and grass as a shield, and those who surrender to the three villages without rebelling will be subject to discipline! After more than half a month of high-intensity training, the entire army has been reborn and has begun to take shape as a soldier." Zhu Ping'an continued. He briefly reported to Zhang Zhitai on the overall situation of the Zhejiang Army.

"Well, not bad, Zihou did a very good job." Zhang Zhitai stroked his beard and nodded after hearing this.

"Sir, if the name is not correct, then the words will not be correct. When the army was established, Ping An's militia was tentatively named 'Jiang and Zhejiang Training Army', or 'Zhejiang Army' for short. At present, the militia has not officially decided on a military name. Please give it a formal name. name."

Zhu Pingan cupped his hands and said.

"Jiangzhe Regiment Training Army, Zhejiang Army. This name is very good. If you know the basics, the official name of the militia is still this!" Zhang Zhitai recited it silently, pondered for a moment, praised it, and upgraded Zhu Ping'an's tentative name to the official name. name.

"Thank you for the name, sir. Please give me another pair of calligraphy treasures. I will go back and make the military flag." Zhu Pingan said with a cupped hand.

"Haha, although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Zihou, your calligraphy is far better than my calligraphy. I'd better use your calligraphy for this military flag. I won't show my shame in front of you." Zhang Zhitai waved his hand with a smile.

"Sir, my words are as steady as a man's, and my words are as youthful as my own. How can I hold down the whole army, and how can I hold them down on the battlefield in the future? Your words are as steady as a man's, and as motionless as a mountain. This military flag must be made of your calligraphy. Live."

Zhu Ping'an talked nonsense seriously, insisting that Zhang Zhitai give him a calligraphy treasure and use his calligraphy treasure to make a military flag.

This is just like giving a name. It must be given by Zhang Zhitai before the name can be justified, otherwise it will always be suspected of overstepping.

"You, okay, then I'll show my shame."

Zhang Zhengtai couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, picked up his writing brush, and wrote the word "Zhejiang Army"!

Well, this word is indeed not as good as myself.

Of course, even though I thought so in my heart, I said "Good!"

Then, after Zhu Ping'an waited for the pen and ink to dry, he carefully collected the calligraphy treasure and put it in his arms.
