Rise From the Humble

Under Zhang Chufeng's confident eyes, Zhu Ping'an smiled and shook his head, "No, Mr. Zhang, it is precisely because they are the outpost scouts of the Japanese pirates that they come to harass Yingtian. First of all, accompany Yingying. Tian is the center of our Ming Dynasty Jiangnan, and it is also the most fertile pearl in our Ming Dynasty Jiangnan. As the outpost scouts of the Japanese pirates, the Shangyu Japanese pirates must come to spy on Yingtian and prepare for a large-scale invasion in the future. Secondly, the Shangyu Japanese pirates serve as the outpost scouts, and they harass The purpose of Yingtian is not to capture the city of Yingtian, but to spy on Yingtian's true and false status, and to peek into Yingtian's troop deployment, combat power, city defense, etc. All it takes is a tentative wave of raids to achieve the purpose of spying. Once the purpose is achieved, , they will escape and do not need to be smashed to pieces under Yingtian City. In this case, their survival rate will be greatly improved, and they will be able to retain their vitality and return to the Japanese country to revive."

After Zhu Pingan's words fell behind, Zhang Chufeng was stunned for a few seconds, and then shook his head vigorously, "These are just your subjective assumptions, Zihou, including the fact that the Japanese pirates in Shangyu are outpost scouts are also your subjective assumptions."

Just as Zhu Ping'an was about to speak, Zhang Chufeng jumped in and asked, "Zihou, don't rush to refute. Let me ask you, can you guarantee that these Japanese pirates are the spies sent by the Japanese invaders before they invaded in large numbers?"

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan was speechless. You asked this question. How can I guarantee that they are spies? Even if I know that this group of Japanese pirates are spies from the Japanese country, I can't guarantee it to you!

If I could guarantee that, there would be a problem!

Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his lips, "I can't guarantee it."

"Zihou, can you guarantee that the Japanese pirates from Shangyu will definitely attack Yingtian?!" Zhang Chufeng asked.

Zhu Ping'an continued to be speechless and said lightly, "I can't guarantee it."

"Look, you can't guarantee it. What does this mean? It means that all this is Zihou's subjective assumption and your guess." Zhang Chufeng smiled slightly and came to a conclusion.

"Master Zhang, this is not a subjective conjecture or a guess, this is a well-founded guess." Zhu Pingan couldn't help but said speechlessly.

"Is there any difference?! They are all invisible things." Zhang Chufeng suddenly shook his head and laughed, and then preached to Zhu Pingan in the tone of a senior, "Zi Hou, the most important thing in the country is to sacrifice to the Rong. The Rong, It’s not a child’s play, it’s a major national event that requires ten million people to be cautious, how can it be a child’s play?!”

"Sir Zhang, it is precisely because the important affairs of the country are at sacrifice and military affairs that Ping An hurriedly came to report. If the Japanese pirates attack Yingtian, whether they capture Yingtian City or not, it will be like a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Seriously, this will also deeply stimulate the current increasingly raging Japanese invasion, making the Japanese invasion even more serious! Therefore, Ping An recommends setting up an ambush with heavy troops and weapons at the place where the Japanese invaders must pass when they invade Yingtian. Catch all the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop and don’t give them a chance to harass Yingtian!”

Zhu Ping'an said with a serious face, suggesting that an ambush should be set up on the only way for the Japanese pirates to go to Yingtian, so as to catch them all.

"Haha, Zihou, you said it lightly. You set up an ambush with heavy troops and heavy weapons. Will the Japanese pirates obey your words and come to harass Yingtian? I don't know. Take ten thousand steps back, even if they come to harass Yingtian. That son Hou, do you know which way the Japanese pirates will take when they attack Yingtian?! Do you know when the Japanese pirates will come?! How long will it take to ambush those who mobilize troops? Three to five days, thirteen to five days, or several months?! In addition, right? It is said that before the soldiers and horses move, food and fodder go first. The amount of food, grass and baggage required for this ambush is not a small amount! Just because of your unreliable guess, we have to mobilize troops and waste people and money?! If the Japanese pirates don't come, then wouldn't it be in vain to mobilize troops and mobilize people? Are you wasting money and wasting people! You will become everyone’s laughing stock! Zihou, who do you think can afford this responsibility?! Mr. Tai?!"

Zhang Chufeng asked continuously.

"Master Zhang, we are never 100% sure about military matters. As long as we are 70% to 80% sure, it is worth fighting." Zhu Pingan looked at Zhang Chufeng and said seriously, "If you miss the opportunity, you will regret it! "

Then, Zhu Pingan tried hard to explain for a long time, but all the efforts were in vain. Neither Zhang Chufeng nor Zhang Jiantai and others took Zhu Pingan's important military information seriously.

Although Zhu Ping'an was mentally prepared for this, he was still disappointed.

However, disappointment is still a disappointment, but you can't give up.

After all, Zhang Zhengtai and the others are civil servants, and the military is an unfamiliar field to them. They are not sensitive enough to military affairs and understand it. I have to go to the Ministry of War to report this military situation as soon as possible. I think the Ministry of War will take it seriously.

Without further ado, we need to report to the Ministry of War as soon as possible.

After Zhu Ping'an's last effort failed, he handed over his hand to Zhang Zhetai and asked for instructions, "Sir Zhetai, I want to report to the Ministry of War."

"Ahem, Zihou, there is no need to report this military information to the Ministry of War." Zhang Zhengtai couldn't help coughing when he heard Zhu Ping'an said that he wanted to report to the Ministry of War. He only said half of what he said, and the second half of the sentence "so as not to be laughed at" was missing. Say it.

"Ahem, it's just Zihou. There's no need to report this news to the Ministry of War." Deputy Bai had the same attitude.

At this time, Zhang Chufeng on the side rolled his eyes, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said, "Zihou is very thoughtful. I think it is more appropriate to report to the Ministry of War. If you have it, use it. If you don't, it will be harmless. The so-called technique There are professions that specialize in, and the Ministry of War specializes in military affairs. There may be different understandings of Zihou’s military situation."

The reason why Zhang Chufeng supported Zhu Pingan to report to the Ministry of War was to make Zhu Pingan look embarrassed in the Ministry of War. Haha, this nonsense military information shows that Zhu Pingan is incompetent for military training and regiment training, and shows Zhu Pingan's incompetence. This can also be used as a reason to impeach Zhu Pingan in the future. Therefore, Zhu Ping'an should go to the Ministry of War as soon as possible. The more people who know, the more people will be lost and the greater the leverage will be.

"Well, yes, there are specialties in the art, and maybe the Ministry of War has a different understanding. Well, Zihou is interested, so there is no harm in going to the Ministry of War to report. However, we mentioned that the Criminal Division Yamen has different opinions on this military situation, and it has not yet been formed. A unified conclusion needs to be further studied. This military situation is not suitable to be reported in the name of our yamen. I hope Zihou will understand." Zhang Zhitai nodded slightly and said to Zhu Pingan.

"I understand, I will report to the Ministry of War in my own name." Zhu Ping'an nodded and expressed his position.

Zhang Zhitai nodded.

"There is still some time before noon, so without further delay, Zihou rushes to the Ministry of War now. The adults in the Ministry of War can still study something before lunch." Zhang Chufeng reminded softly.

"What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true." Zhu Pingan nodded, thanked Zhang Chufeng, and then Zhang Zhitai and others said goodbye and rushed to the Ministry of War without stopping.
