As night fell, the Zhejiang army set up camp outside the city, lighting up the bonfire like stars.
The Zhejiang army ate big fish and meat and cooked over the fire. Many generals in Yuanzi were still angry and kept scolding the officers and soldiers in the city as evil-hearted maggots, cold-blooded snakes and worms, Dongguo wolves who repay kindness with revenge, etc.
"What are you talking about? You didn't listen to the adults. How can we show off the show of our Zhejiang army without a few pig teammates? Before, more than 50 Japanese pirates besieged the city, and the 100,000 troops in the city didn't even dare to let out a single fart.
, cowering on the high wall, while our Zhejiang army only has more than 800 people. With a roar, it is as powerful as a tiger, and it attacks the Japanese pirates without fear of death. They beat the Japanese pirates to pieces and fled in embarrassment. Haha, the more cowardly the people on the city are, the more they set off
The more fierce we are, the more we compare, the faces of the officials in the city have been swollen, haven’t you seen that all the high-ranking officials in the city have no face to show up?!"
"Hey, it seems like it's a good thing that they closed the city gate tightly. The Japanese pirates we fought away were still able to scare them into closing the city gate. They were so cowardly that they went to my grandma's house. Are there any officers and soldiers in the city who can guard them?
! Hehe, I guess if you take off your pants, every officer and soldier in the city will look like a toothpick, hahaha..."
"Hmph, just wait, wait until late at night, your lord will lead us to accomplish something big, we will be famous all over the world, and the officers and soldiers in the city will be infamy for thousands of years. By then, we can make the swollen faces in the city bleed, so that
When they see us, they will be so embarrassed that they will tie up their crotches. Hehe, when the time comes, people with a discerning eye will know how good we, the Zhejiang Army, are, and how incompetent the Yingtian garrison is!"
…
After eating and drinking, and talking a lot, the general of the Zhejiang army laughed and was in a happy mood.
It was already dark, and after the meal, Zhu Ping'an ordered all the troops, except for the fifty sentries on guard, to go into their tents and sleep. Even if they couldn't sleep, they had to lie down on the grass bunks and close their eyes to rest and recharge their batteries!
The Zhejiang army here eats well and sleeps well, and the Japanese pirates are not bad either.
After the Japanese pirates safely evacuated from the city to the southeast, they initially lurked in a forest waiting for the Zhejiang Army to pursue them. When the Zhejiang Army pursued them, they rushed out of the woods to attack and kill them. However, the Zhejiang Army simply retreated as quickly as they charged. After retreating,
I didn’t pursue it at all.
The Japanese pirates ambush a lonely man.
"This Zhejiang army is too cowardly. At first they rushed towards our army. I thought they were a strong army, but I didn't expect that they were no different from other Ming troops. They were all cowards."
Nabeshima Naoji walked out of the woods, spat a mouthful of phlegm, and cursed mockingly.
"The leader of this Zhejiang army is a member of the royal family, so how can he risk his own life? The charge just now was just speculation. They hid in the woods for who knows how long, until Panasonic was cut off from Yingtian City.
Others, they were sure that we would have no hope of retreating, so they rushed out and bluffed to gain fame. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than speculation. These royal relatives and nobles cherished their lives the most. They would accept it as soon as it was good, and if it turned out to be true, until we sailed into the sea
, they will never come again..."
Matsuura Sanbanro looked in the direction of Yingtian from a distance, curled his lips disdainfully, and looked down upon the Zhejiang Army.
"Does that mean they won't attack?" Nabeshima asked.
Sanbanro Matsuura nodded without hesitation and said confidently, "Now Yingtian is frightened, and the Zhejiang army is risking its life. If we don't turn around and attack the city, they will be thankful. How can they dare to pursue us?"
"Xingxi! Then go south to find a village, eat and drink well, rest for one night, march southeast to Wuxi tomorrow, enter Suzhou and sail into the sea, return to Feiqian and report back to His Highness." Nabeshima Naoki ordered.
"Onboard! Onboard!"
When they heard the news that they had returned to the sea, a group of Japanese pirates screamed excitedly. After fighting in the Ming Dynasty for so long and snatching so many precious gold and silver jewels, they were homesick and wanted to return to their hometown and show off their majesty.
Suddenly, a group of Japanese pirates, led by Nabeshima Masao and Matsuura Sanbanro, sang Hizen songs and marched forward in a swaggering manner.
After traveling a few miles, the Japanese pirates encountered a small village, but all the villagers fled with their families and their valuables and food, leaving only some worthless household items that were inconvenient to carry.
From the stone tablet erected at the entrance of the village, we can know that the name of this village is Guocun.
The Japanese pirates went into the village and plundered it, but they didn't find much, only half a bag of millet.
The millet was inedible and had to be ground into rice. The Japanese pirates thought it was troublesome, so they threw the millet away, cursed and continued on their way.
What they didn't know was that there was an inconspicuous but not difficult to find secret cellar in the backyard of the main family in Guocunli. The secret cellar contained a lot of grain, black meat bacon and Laotan wine. However, the Japanese pirates did not search very carefully and rummaged through the cabinets.
I left without finding anything of value, missing such a secret cellar.
Not far from Guo Village is Niu Village. The Japanese pirates came out of Guo Village and rushed into Niu Village. Like Guo Village, Niu Village also lost thousands of villagers, taking away valuables and food.
The Japanese pirates searched Niucun, but found neither valuable things nor food to satisfy their hunger. They were very angry. If they didn't want to expose their traces too much, they would have burned Guocun and Niucun.
Similarly, the Japanese pirates did not search carefully and did not find a cellar under the wall of the largest and richest man in Niucun's house. The cellar also contained a lot of grain, soy sauce chicken and soy sauce duck, as well as several jars of fine daughter's red wine.
After successive attacks on Guo Village and Niu Village, the Japanese pirates entered Zhangjiazhai, and Zhangzhong Village was also empty of people.
However, Zhangjiazhai is indeed a famous wealthy village nearby. The Japanese pirates found a cellar in the ancestral hall of the Zhang family in Zhangjiazhai. In the deepest part of the cellar, there were dozens of bags of grain, more than ten jars of flour, dozens of jars of good wine, and dozens of jars of flour.
pickles, and dozens of bacon hanging on the roof of the cellar.
Not only that, the Japanese pirates found two large black pigs, five goats, and a group of chickens, ducks, and geese deep in the garden of the head of the Zhang family. They also placed several bags of grain on the ground for these animals to eat. Apparently, the Zhang family escaped.
I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to take the livestock away, so I could only hide the animals in the garden and throw in a few bags of grain, intending to take them home after they fled.
These are all cheaper for Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates occupied the most luxurious home of the Zhang family in Zhangjiazhai and used his two-story house as a temporary base. They gathered the food, wine, pigs, chickens and ducks collected from the Zhang family ancestral hall into the yard.
.
"Making rice, killing pigs and sheep, you guys have their feet on the ground. It's been a hard day, so let's give it a good reward."
Nabeshima Naoman waved his hand and ordered.
"General, wait a minute. In order to prevent accidents and avoid being poisoned by Ming people, it is not too late to verify it for a while before using it as before. Although this possibility is almost zero, Ming people are cowardly and don't know where we will end up today, but
To be prepared, we are about to return to Feizen, so it is better to be cautious."
Matsuura Sanbanro took a step forward, pointed at the food and wine in the yard, and reminded him softly.
"Haha, Sanbanro, you are just careful. But, be careful, let's verify it first as usual." Nabeshima Masao smiled and nodded, instructing the Japanese pirates to verify whether there were any problems with the food, wine, and meat.
The Japanese pirates poured flour, pickles and wine into several basins and fed the pigs, chickens and ducks. After waiting for half an hour, they found that the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese were all fine. Then they felt relieved and started killing pigs, muttons, stews and barbecues.
, dough pancakes
Soon, the aroma of meat and wine wafted from the Zhang family's residence.
