Since receiving the Tongbao, Zhu Pingan has been paying close attention to the news about the Japanese pirates of yesterday's group of 150 people. However, he has not received news about this group of Japanese pirates for two days in a row. Zhu Pingan even suspected that this group of Japanese pirates were following the news.
The Qiantang River went out to sea and fled far away. These days, it is common for Japanese pirates to come ashore, grab something and run away.
However, Zhu Ping'an felt that this group of Japanese pirates would not escape so easily to the sea, because this group of Japanese pirates were fierce. Since the landing at Shangyu, they had carried out burning, killing and looting without suffering a single defeat or loss of personnel. They still had
The ability to continue committing crimes and plundering. The Japanese pirates who are so powerful are definitely not satisfied with landing for only half a day and only burned, killed and looted a small town, a censor returning home from official service and a small village! The Japanese pirates are so powerful, they will definitely
Have a huge appetite and a huge ambition.
Zhu Ping'an judged that they would continue to commit evil acts and would not escape until they had robbed enough or their strength was severely damaged.
However, the strange thing is that after this group of Japanese pirates disappeared by the Qiantang River, they stayed dormant for two full days without showing a trace. What evil intentions did they hide?! Where is their next destination?!
Zhu Pingan was puzzled!
On the third day, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but handwritten several official letters, and ordered Liu Mu to take them to Yingtian City, where he went to Yingtian Military Department to wait for the department to inquire about the news about this group of Japanese pirates. When Liu Mu was about to set off, another letter came
Tang Bao arrived at the Zhejiang Army barracks.
After receiving the Tang Bao, Zhu Pingan had an intuition that the Tang Bao must be related to the group of Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu.
Sure enough, when Zhu Pingan opened the Tang newspaper, he saw the news about this group of Japanese pirates!
However, when he saw the place where this group of Japanese pirates appeared, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?!"
incredible!
After disappearing by the Qiantang River, this group of Japanese pirates actually appeared in Changhua County yesterday afternoon!
There is something wrong with this direction! Changhua County is in the west, one hundred kilometers west of Hangzhou Fucheng, which is two hundred miles.
This distance is not close!
Theoretically speaking, Japanese pirates usually plundered along the coast, and the place where this group of Japanese pirates disappeared was along the Qiantang River. They disappeared after massacring Wangjiang Village. Wangjiang Village is on the Qiantang River, with the suburbs of Hangzhou Prefecture on the other side.
The Japanese pirates should cross the Qiantang River, head north or east, and plunder along the coast so that they can escape into the sea.
Why did this group of Japanese pirates leave the rich suburbs of Hangzhou on the other side of the river and go to the coastal areas instead of going west and deep into the interior?!
In response, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but let out a questioning "Huh?" and couldn't figure out why this group of Japanese pirates went west.
Zhu Ping'an had two doubts at this time. One was that this group of Japanese pirates had lost their way. They had come a long way across the sea and were not familiar with the place. They wanted to go east, but they turned around or got lost and went in the opposite direction;
There is also a suspicion that this group of Japanese pirates massacred Wangjiang Village before disappearing by the Qiantang River. During the massacre, they also kidnapped people from Wangjiang Village who were familiar with the nearby terrain and asked them to lead the way. As a result, these people looked like little
The hero Wang Erxiao also risked his life to trap the Japanese pirates. He deliberately led the Japanese pirates astray to the west, diverted the Japanese pirates inland, and made the Japanese pirates surrounded by officers and soldiers from all over the inland!
But this is the fact. After disappearing near Wangjiang Village on the Qiantang River, this group of Japanese pirates appeared in Changhua County, two hundred miles to the west!
Japanese pirates massacred Yumi Village on the riverside in Changhua County. Changhua County Magistrate led troops and a total of 400 people to suppress the Japanese. However, they were defeated by the Japanese pirates and were easily defeated by them. Changhua County Magistrate fell off his horse and was rescued by his subordinates desperately.
After the Japanese pirates defeated the magistrate of Changhua County, they pursued them one after another and entered Changhua County through the south gate of Changhua County. They burned, killed and looted in the county seat before leaving through the west gate.
After the Japanese pirates left Changhua County, they appeared in Yuqian County next to Changhua County in the evening. They robbed Langyu Town. Yuqian County Dianshi led his troops, soldiers, and minzhuang to suppress the Japanese. The group had not yet arrived in Langyu. On the way to Yu Town, they were ambushed by Japanese pirates. After killing and injuring several people, Yu Qianxian County Dianshi led his troops to retreat strategically (Sayazi ran away). The Japanese pirates then looted and plundered along the way, causing heavy casualties among the people along the way...
Tang Bao finally recorded that the entire Hangzhou Prefecture was shocked by this...
"well......"
Seeing this record, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
This group of Japanese pirates is still the same group of Japanese pirates! Fierce, cruel, cunning, good at fighting! Good at setting up ambushes!
This is no ordinary Japanese pirate!
This group of Japanese pirates is like a special force that is good at fighting!

Don't want to admit it!
But it’s true!
In comparison, the officers and soldiers along the way looked like a mob!
After sighing for a long time, Zhu Pingan opened the newspaper again and read it carefully, this time focusing on the details.
After reading it again, Zhu Ping'an discovered a problem. This Tang newspaper recorded that the number of Japanese pirates faced by the magistrate of Changhua was more than 130 and less than 140.
More than one hundred and thirty people?
Isn’t this group of Japanese pirates one hundred and fifty strong? Why did it become more than one hundred and thirty?
This group of Japanese pirates has reduced its numbers!
Where did the number of Japanese pirates decrease?! In the two days after they disappeared in Wangjiang Village and appeared in Changhua County, the number of Japanese pirates decreased by ten. The Tang newspaper did not record where this group of Japanese pirates robbed in the past two days, so either these two The Japanese pirates are on their way, or they have robbed a remote village in the past two days. Because the village is remote, they have not been discovered. Then the reason for the reduction of the Japanese pirates may be natural causes, such as boat capsizing and drowning when crossing the river, or plundering remote villages. When they moved to the village, they encountered fierce resistance and suffered attrition.
No matter what the reason is, the number of Japanese pirates has been reduced, which is a good thing. Otherwise, I would have thought that this group of Japanese pirates were invulnerable!
After reading the Tongbao, Zhu Pingan took advantage of the training break to briefly and concisely declare the contents of the Tongbao to the entire army, and urged the Zhejiang Army to strengthen training, "Sweat more in peacetime, shed less tears in war..."
In this way, another day passed, and Zhu Pingan received another pond newspaper in the evening.
It goes without saying that the news recorded in this Tang newspaper must still be about this group of Japanese pirates. Sure enough, when I opened the Tang newspaper, what I saw was exactly this group of Japanese pirates.
"Um?!"
Seeing where the Japanese pirates appeared, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but make the same confused "hmm" sound as yesterday.
This group of Japanese pirates actually appeared in Huizhou Prefecture!
After the Japanese pirates plundered Chun'an County, they appeared in Huizhou Prefecture!
Huizhou Prefecture is to the west of Yuqian County and Changhua County, and further inland. Huizhou Prefecture is already part of Anhui Province!
Anhui Province! Are these Japanese pirates crazy?! Why are they still heading west?! Zhu Pingan has thousands of doubts in his heart!
This group of Japanese pirates were so lost that they were so obsessed! They even got lost in Anhui Province!
Or is it that this group of Japanese pirates turned around? They came from afar and were unfamiliar with the place. They thought they were going east, but they turned out to be west?! No way, it's been four days. Did they turn around for four days? !
Moreover, it was too easy for this group of Japanese pirates to enter Huizhou.
Huizhou is known as "eight-and-a-half parts mountains, one part water, and half farmland and manors." The territory of Huizhou is one mountain after another, one peak after another, with mountains lined up, ridges and valleys staggered, and the terrain is particularly complex.
In particular, Huizhou is the junction of Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, and this junction has a pass!
