Rise From the Humble

After a day of fermentation and dissemination, and with Zhang Chufeng and other interested people adding fuel to the fire by hiring people to spread the news, adding fuel to the fire, Zhu Ping'an's urgent military information about eighty Japanese pirates attacking Yingtian became one of the top ten most popular in Yingtian. One of the jokes is equivalent to making headlines in Yingtian.

Zhu Pingan's name also went out of the circle, and he became one of the "most influential" figures in the world. He was known to many people. Of course, Zhu Pingan's image in the hearts of the people was not a good one. They were all negative examples. He was even given the derogatory names of "Zhao Kuo of this time" and "Zhao Kuo II".

"Three thousand coalition forces surrounded the Japanese pirates yesterday and attacked them from both sides. News should come today."

"What news? It should be said that it is a good news. Three thousand people wiped out eighty Japanese pirates, so they can't catch them! This news comes, it must be a good news that the coalition forces have wiped out all the Japanese pirates."

"When this news comes, what is the name of Zhao Kuo at that time? Oh, yes, yes, it is Zhu Ping'an. He was so embarrassed that he stuffed his face into his crotch. The Japanese pirates have been wiped out, so how can they come to harass us? Yingtian. Hahaha, is it really going to be haunted?! That’s impossible. We, Yingtian, can be regarded as half of the emperor, suppressing all ghosts and monsters."

"If Zhao Kuo knew about it, he would be very happy. After this incident, when he is cited as an example again in the future, he will not be alone. Maybe Zhao Kuo is even more famous than Zhao Kuo in this world."

"Oh, I really don't know how he got into the top pick. Enke's quality this time is not good."

Zhu Ping'an handled so many cases and did so many things in Jingnan, and his reputation did not spread far. Except for the local people in Jingnan and some people in Taizhou Prefecture, not many people knew that Zhu Ping'an was hundreds of miles away. Yingtian is even less known. Unexpectedly, with the help of thoughtful people and through this emergency military intelligence joke, Zhu Pingan was known to many Yingtian people. It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

"Report"

A group of soldiers with a small flag on their backs were shouting and speeding towards the north gate of Yingtian.

Ying Tian's garrison inspected the soldiers and opened the city gate.

"Bao" soldiers with small flags on their backs rode into Yingtian City and rode at high speed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

When the people along the way saw it, they suddenly became excited and started talking among themselves.

"Did you see that, that's the Tang soldiers. In all likelihood, what was sent was the battle report about the group of Japanese pirates in Shangyu. Yesterday, I heard that Lord Bao Shanbao, the censor of Wuhu, and Lord Miao Yinmiao, the commander of Jianyang Guard, were waiting for them. The Japanese pirates dug a pit. Master Miao, commanded by Jianyang Guards, did not hesitate to defeat the Japanese pirates and lured them into the encirclement. He and Master Bao, the censor of Wuhu City, attacked the Japanese pirates in front and back. Judging from the time, this battle report must be this one. Encirclement and annihilation war.”

"Haha, I don't need to report from the Tang soldiers. I also know the result of this encirclement and annihilation battle. All the Japanese pirates have been annihilated!"

"Hahaha, heroes think alike. I think so too."

People started talking excitedly, all confident, and soon the topic was brought to Zhu Pingan.

"Hahaha, today the Tang soldiers reported victory and the Japanese pirates were surrounded and annihilated. Then yesterday's emergency military situation of 'Zhao Kuo' today has become a complete joke."

"I really want to see Master Zhu's expression when he receives this newspaper. He will definitely be red-faced and very excited."

As people talked and laughed, Tang Bing rushed to the Ministry of War and passed the news from Tang Bao to the Ministry of War.

"Ah?! What?! How is this possible? How could the result be like this?!"

After receiving the newspaper, Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, looked at the contents of the newspaper and opened his mouth in surprise.

"Are you sure you didn't report an error?!"

Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, read the Tang newspaper over and over again, then frowned and looked at Tang Bing and asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, it's absolutely true." Tang Bing vowed, "This report has never strayed from the villain."

"Go down, I'll report it to Lord Shangshu."

Shi Pengfei waved his hands irritably, took the newspaper out of the room, and walked quickly to Zhang Jing's room.

"Sir Zhang, the Fugui Town battle report has arrived." Shi Pengfei entered the duty room and reported to Zhang Jinghui with the Tang newspaper in hand.

"Oh, what's the result?" Zhang Jing was dealing with official duties, busy reviewing official documents, and asked without raising his head.

"Sir, it's a big defeat." Shi Pengfei said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Zhang Jing continued to review the official documents without raising his head. He nodded slightly, hummed, and commented, "Well, as expected, three thousand people surrounded the Japanese pirates, so they should be defeated."

Hearing this, Shi Pengfei couldn't help coughing, and said with a bitter look on his face, "Ahem, sir, it's not that we defeated the Japanese pirates, but that we were defeated by them."

"ah?!"

Zhang Jing, who was reviewing official documents, made a fuss. He let out a gaffe and drew a long ink mark with the pen in his hand. He looked up at Shi Pengfei with an expression of disbelief.

"What are you talking about? The Wuhu Censor, Jianyang Guards and other allied forces were defeated by the Japanese pirates?! Three thousand people attacked more than 80 Japanese pirates in front and back. Not only could they not win, they were defeated by the Japanese pirates?! And it was a huge defeat?!"

Zhang Jing lowered his face, his brows furrowed into a mess, and he stared at Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and said in a deep voice.

"It is indeed recorded in the Tang Bao. Sir, please read it." Shi Pengfei sighed heavily and handed the Tang Bao to Zhang Jing with both hands.

Zhang Jing frowned and took the newspaper, lowered his head and read it carefully. When he saw that he was half-empty, he threw the newspaper heavily on the table, and cursed angrily, "It's really not enough to succeed, but more than enough to fail!"

The general content of the Tang newspaper is: Jianyang guard Miao Yin and others lured the Japanese pirates into Fugui Town, and Qianhu Zengji, a subordinate of Wuhu Censor Baoshan, led troops to attack the Japanese pirates front and rear. Jianyang guard Miao Yin and others deliberately defeated the Japanese pirates and lured them deeper. , I guess it was too dramatic, and they were defeated by the Japanese pirates as soon as they fought. The Japanese pirates also ordered Miao Yin and other defeated troops to attack Zeng Ji's troops. Under the attack of the defeated troops, Zeng Ji's troops were in chaos and the army was in panic. The Japanese pirates covered up and killed Zeng Ji. The troops and horses fled in all directions with Miao Yin's defeated army, trampling on each other and causing countless casualties. The coalition army was defeated. Among the coalition forces, only Chen Yiyi, the Prime Minister of Dangtu County in Taiping Prefecture, did not collapse and fled. Chen Yiyi's troops were all brave men from Wuhu. Under the leadership of Chen Yiyi, they fought against the Japanese pirates alone among the fleeing soldiers. Unfortunately, due to the impact of the rebel army, Chen Yiyi's troops were unable to form a formation and were taken advantage of by the Japanese pirates. Chen Yiyi was exhausted and died on the spot. Chen Yiyi's Wuhu Xiaoyong were also killed by the Japanese pirates, and not a single one of dozens of them survived. The Japanese pirates from Shangyu took advantage of the victory and entered Wuhu County, Taiping Prefecture. After the Japanese invaders entered Wuhu County, they burned, killed and looted all the way to Wuhu, setting fire to the south bank of Wuhu.

ps: The content of the battle report in the previous chapter has been modified: Wuhu Censor Bao Shan, Jianyang Guard Commander Miao Yin and others jointly reported that the defeat of Jianyang Guard Commander Miao Yin and others yesterday was not a crime of war, but was actually caused by Miao Yin After deliberately defeating the enemy, they lured the Japanese pirates deep into the encirclement. During this period, they were taken advantage of by the Japanese pirates. Miao Yin and others suffered a little loss, but the strategic goal was achieved and they successfully lured the Japanese pirates into the encirclement - Fugui Town, a place bordering Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion. Wuhu Capital Censor Baoshan sent 1,500 Zeng Ji unified combat soldiers, rural warriors, and tiger killers from 1,000 households under his command to encircle Fugui Town from Taiping Prefecture, and joined forces with Miao Yin, the commander of Jianyang Guards, and more than 1,500 soldiers. Attack the Japanese pirates.
