Chapter 1,471 A layman laughs, an expert laughs even more
"Pfft...Master Zhu, he said that the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu will come to attack our Yingtian City?!"
"How is it possible? There are only more than 80 Japanese pirates left after landing at Shangyu. It has been just a few days since autumn. Master Zhu said that they will attack Yingtian City. This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Think about it, if more than 80 Japanese pirates come to attack the city, they can only set up two ladders at most, and only two Japanese pirates can come up at a time. But there are tens of thousands of our defenders on the city, and even one of them can drown them by spitting.
Are you coming here to die?! If you want to take advantage of Ying Tian, haha, don’t even think about it without tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
"Mr. Zhu, did you get this urgent military information from someone's drunken nonsense in a teahouse or restaurant?!"
"Haha, Master Zhang just said that Master Zhu knows soldiers, knows soldiers?! Tsk, the word "know soldiers" seems to have been abused. Why do I feel that Master Zhu is still far behind Zhao Kuo, who is an armchair strategist on paper?"
"Is this the so-called Zhibing?! Hahaha... I'm sorry, I lost my temper a little."
After Zhu Pingan reported the emergency military situation, the originally solemn meeting scene instantly turned into a sea of joy.
Almost everyone present could not help laughing out loud, but only a few people did not laugh out loud.
Zhang Jing did not smile, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Hu Zongxian didn't smile. He sat there with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was triggered to think. After a while, he shook his head again.
Yu Dayou didn't smile either. He looked at Zhu Pingan with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't quite believe that this urgent military information came from Zhu Pingan. When there was a Japanese invasion in Taizhou Prefecture, Zhu Pingan, with less than a hundred government officials and soldiers, was counting.
Under siege by thousands of Japanese pirates, he achieved astonishing achievements in defending the city, recovering the city, and killing more than 800 Japanese invaders. How could such an achievement be achieved without having civil and martial arts that surpassed ordinary people?! However, Zhu Pingan, who surpassed ordinary people in civil and martial arts,
How could such an outrageous emergency military situation be reported?! The Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu, a mere eighty people, actually dared to attack Yingtian City?!
The Marquis of Linhuai and the Duke of Wei did not laugh either. Their faces were flushed with embarrassment and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Just now they were bragging about Zhu Ping'an's literary and military talents to the people nearby, but as a result, they were slapped in the face very quickly.
They are warriors.
They are laymen when it comes to reciting poems and painting, but they are considered experts in marching and fighting, and they still have the right to speak about it. There is a sentence in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "The method of using troops is to surround it ten times.
If you have five, you can attack it; if you have double, you can divide it. If the enemy is small, you can fight it; if you are small, you can run away from it; if you are small, you can avoid it."
If you want to attack Yingtian, the number of Japanese pirates as the siege party must be not only five times, but twice as many, at least as many as the Yingtian defenders. Because the siege party has no advantage in the first place, if the number of Japanese pirates is
If you are worse than the defender and you come to attack the city, then you are not attacking the city. You are seeking your own destruction.
There are only about 80 Japanese pirates left in Shangyu. Do you think they will attack Yingtian?!
This emergency military situation is simply a joke.
One second ago, the Marquis of Linhuai and the Duke of Wei were bragging to the people around them that Zhu Ping'an knew the military and was talented in literature and military strategy. However, Zhu Ping'an reported such an emergency military situation as if it were a joke, which made them all ashamed.
Get started.
In particular, there were one or two Beijing camp commanders who were watching the fun and did not take it too seriously. They deliberately insulted Lin Huaihou and Wei Guogong.
Strategy?!", "Haha, the number one scholar who has both literary talent and military strategy is really eye-opening."
This ridicule made Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong's old faces turn red with shame, and they wished they could lower their heads to their crotches.
Zhu Ping'an took into account everyone's reactions. The reaction here was no different from that of the Yamen Li in Zhentai, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Masters, be quiet!" Zhang Jing glanced at everyone with a serious face to maintain order at the meeting, then turned his head, frowned and looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked, "Master Zhu, you said that the Japanese pirates from Shangyu are going to attack Yingtian, what evidence do you have?
?!"
"My lord, I have concluded that the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu were the pioneer spies of the Japanese pirates. The reasons are as follows..." Zhu Ping'an handed over his hand and replied, putting aside the conclusion that he had arrived at the Zhitai Yamen.
"Hmm? The Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu were the pioneer spies of the Japanese pirates?" Hu Zongxian muttered to himself and fell into deep thought again, but after a moment, he shook his head slightly again.
"A spy..." Yu Dayou also fell into deep thought.
After the venue was quiet for a few seconds, it became noisy again, and everyone continued to criticize Zhu Pingan's inference.
"What? The Japanese pirates who landed at Shangyu were the pioneer spies of the Japanese country? Mr. Zhu's inference is too far-fetched."
"This inference is unreliable and full of loopholes. Mr. Zhu, you said that the reason why the Japanese pirates went west deep into the inland after Shangyu landed and why they fought with officers and soldiers many times led to the conclusion that they were Japanese spies. This inference is not enough
Being rigorous, other situations cannot be ruled out. The reason why the Japanese pirates continued to advance westward may be that they were unfamiliar with the place, did not know the direction, and got lost, or they may have been deliberately misled by the righteous people, and the reason why they continued to advance westward later was,
It may be that a mistake was made; it may also be that the Zhejiang Shaoxing Prefecture Allied Forces were pressing for pursuit, and the Japanese pirates had no choice but to head west into Huizhou Prefecture to avoid pursuit; or it may be that the western hinterland where the Japanese pirates were aware had not been robbed by them, so there was less defense and more wealth.
, so they went to the west to rob the interior; in addition, didn't they turn north again now?! Also, the reason why they repeatedly fought with officers and soldiers from various places was even simpler. This group of Japanese pirates were arrogant and domineering, and officers and soldiers from various places could easily defeat them.
If the traces of the Japanese pirates can be traced, officers and soldiers from all over the country have the responsibility to exterminate the Japanese pirates. Due to this responsibility, how can the officers and soldiers from all over the country let the Japanese pirates go?"
"Master Zhu's inference is indeed novel, but no matter how you analyze and infer, it cannot be divorced from reality. When Shangyu landed, there were only about 80 Japanese pirates left. How could they dare to attack Yingtian, which was heavily guarded by troops?!"
"Master Zhu's inference reminds me of Zhao Kuo, who talked about military affairs on paper. He talked about empty theories, divorced from reality, and made people laugh. Taking a step back, even if Master Zhu's inference is true, the Japanese pirates came to harass Yingtian after the Shangyu landing.
I know this is impossible, but just pretend it happens, so what! There are only about 80 Japanese pirates, and I should have tens of thousands of defenders. I can easily destroy this group of Japanese pirates, so why bother to go to war and waste money and mobilize troops?
We will set up an ambush! Why bother?! If the Japanese pirates don’t come later, wouldn’t we become everyone’s joke?!”
A layman can see the excitement, an expert can see the door. A layman can see the loopholes, and the expert will naturally see more...
