After closing the newspaper, Zhu Ping'an frowned and stared blankly for a long time. However, he felt that this newspaper was a little ridiculous.
How could a group of 150 Japanese pirates have such destructive power?! First they massacred the people of Funing Town, then defeated the 3,000-strong coalition of Shaoxing Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu, and then killed Qian Laoyushi and his party who had returned home!
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. In this way
After all, each Japanese pirate killed four Ming soldiers on average?! And he was able to leave unscathed?!
Are these Japanese pirates all special forces?! Or is it that the Shaoxing Prefecture concealed information? The Shaoxing Allied Forces did not have 3,000 people, but 300 people?!
The Shaoxing Prefecture may conceal the report, but it will never be this kind of number. If the local officials in Shaoxing want to cover up their failure in suppressing Japanese pirates, they will only exaggerate the number of Japanese pirates and reduce the number of their own coalition forces. The enemy has more people, but we have fewer soldiers.
, the defeat is understandable; the enemy has few people and we have many soldiers, so the defeat is not deserved!
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 the prime of life and soldiers capable of fighting.
With a thousand men, this strength advantage should be enough to wipe out more than a hundred Japanese pirates.
However, the reality is exactly the opposite.
If it is true as recorded in the Tang Newspaper, it can only mean that: first, the guardsmen are in decline and cannot bear a battle; second, this group of Japanese pirates is extraordinary, and their fighting ability far exceeds that of ordinary Japanese pirates, just like special forces compared to ordinary soldiers.
This group of Japanese pirates is a special type of Japanese pirates.
Do such Japanese 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 great price
We suffered heavy casualties and spent a lot of effort to encircle and annihilate this fierce Japanese group in Suzhou...
A group of fifty Japanese pirates were able to attack Nanjing City and escape unscathed!
Therefore, it is not impossible for 150 Japanese pirates to defeat the coalition forces of Shaoxing Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu.
This is a dangerous and fierce Japanese!
Zhu Pingan came to a conclusion that seemed nonsense.
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, the Qiantang River is far away from Taohuaji, but it is neither far nor far away.
, we must be more vigilant and strengthen our vigilance to prevent this group of Japanese pirates from escaping to commit crimes nearby.
In addition, Tang Bao also emphasized that all ministries should be on alert and would immediately set out as soon as there was an order.
Although there are many regular troops near Yingtian Mansion, and according to common sense, it is estimated that there is no need for a militia like his, 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 are not ordinary Japanese pirates!
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.
We need to further strengthen our training to avoid becoming cannon fodder and affecting the overall situation of suppressing Japanese invaders!
"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 must 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 Zhejiang Army officers 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 emphasized further strengthening of training.
At the same time, in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for training, Zhu Ping'an also held a solemn flag-giving ceremony for Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou, and He Groom.
"Zhu Daniu, step forward to receive the flag! The red color must be dyed frequently, and the tip of the knife must be sharpened. I give you a sharp knife and a flag. I hope you will continue to work hard and not live up to the name of a sharp knife!"
"Lin Ergou, step forward to receive the flag! The soldiers are brave enough to destroy the wolf camp with flying dysprosium. I give you the flying dysprosium flag. I hope you will continue to work hard and don't live up to the name of flying dysprosium!"
"Congratulations to the bridegroom, come forward and 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 Ping'an personally awarded the Sharp Knife Flag, Fei Dy Flag, and Broken Armor Flag to Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou and the bridegroom.
"Where the flag is, the people are there; when the flag is gone, the people are dead!"
After Zhu Daniu, Lin Ergou and He Bridegroom took over the flag, they led the three soldiers to kneel down and swear.
After the flag presentation, the Zhejiang army began training. Zhu Pingan increased the intensity of their training. Zhu Pingan ordered each Zhejiang army to make two small sandbags and tied them to their legs for training.
In addition, Zhu Pingan also added musket shooting training to them, and borrowed 10 musket instructors from the navy camp of Linhuai Marquis to teach them musket shooting. On the basis of respecting the teachings of the musket instructors, Zhu Pingan also combined modern experience to teach them musket shooting.
A brick was hung from the gun barrel to strengthen their stability training.
Zhu Ping'an received the pond report, and Hu Zongxian, who was inspecting the "Zhenwei Camp" in Beijing, also received the pond report.
"What?! Mr. Qian, the censor, was killed!!!"
Hu Zongxian was shocked, sad and angry when he saw the record in the Tang newspaper that Qian Laoyushi and his family were massacred by Japanese pirates!
Hu Zongxian had been taken care of by Mr. Qian in the past, 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 turned out to be...
Heaven and man are separated forever! More than a hundred soldiers and more than a hundred police escorts were unable to 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 without stopping. First, he checked the details of the Japanese invasion.
The second is to meet with Zhang Shangshu to discuss the matter of suppressing Japanese invaders.
In the archives of the Ministry of War, Hu Zongxian saw more detailed information about the Japanese invasion 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 and concubines in the sedan were disheveled, and no one in the family, old or young, survived... The more Hu Zongxian looked at it, the stronger his hatred and murderous intention towards the Japanese pirates became. 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 whole 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 messenger to pay homage to Zhang Jing.
