In response to Zhu Ping'an's suggestion, Magistrate Shang immediately sent notices to the city to recruit chariots, horses and young people.
As soon as the people in the city heard that they were assisting the Zhejiang Army in cleaning up the battlefield, they became excited and signed up to participate.
In a short time, tens of thousands of people signed up, and there was even an old woman leading her son by the ear and escorting him to the notice to sign up.
"Mom, be gentle, be gentle, I didn't say I won't sign up. Why did you bother to escort me to sign up? The neighbors will see and laugh at us."
The eldest and thickest son gasped for air and begged his mother to be gentle.
"The survival of our whole city depends on Mr. Zhu and the others. Now Mr. Zhu and the others are winning the battle outside and need help cleaning the battlefield. You, a heartless bastard, turned around and ran home after hearing the announcement. What a misfortune for our family.
, why did I give birth to such a heartless bastard like you! If you weren’t the only one in the family, I would have cleaned up the house no matter what.”
The old woman was so angry and annoyed that she couldn't help twisting her son's ears again while gritting her teeth and cursing.
"My mother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I ran home to ask Lao Wangtou to borrow a car. Lao Wang is a lonely old bachelor with a big car at home. He has limited legs and feet, so he definitely can't help the Zhejiang Army clean up the battlefield. He
His car was idle, so I went to borrow it from him to help my benefactor, Mr. Zhu, clean up the battlefield."
When the big and rough man heard this, he quickly shouted that he had misunderstood and hurriedly told the reason why he turned around and went home.
"Wouldn't it be over if I explained it earlier? Also, you're an old bachelor. Don't talk about your Uncle Wang like that. It's so unpleasant."
After hearing this, the old woman pinched her son's ear hard again, and then let go of her son when he screamed in pain.
"I'm telling the truth, he's just an old bachelor." The tall and thick man said with his neck shrinking.
"You are not allowed to tell the truth. You have to call me Uncle Wang. Okay, hurry up and go to your Uncle Wang to borrow a cart! I will cook a dish for your Uncle Wang later and thank him properly for you." The old woman glared at her son and urged.
road.
"Okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it." The tall and thick man reluctantly agreed under the pressure of the old woman.
"Hurry up, there are a lot of people signing up. If you can't get in line, go back and see how I deal with you!" the old woman urged.
The big and thick man immediately started running.
There were countless people in the city who responded so actively to the recruitment, and they were all fighting for one spot.
While the people in the city were actively responding to the recruitment, the prefect in the city was still verifying relevant information with Zhu Ping'an.
Magistrate Shang asked very carefully, and Zhu Ping'an answered very carefully. He answered truthfully and answered fluently.
After some questions and answers, Magistrate Shang's trust in Zhu Pingan skyrocketed.
Of course, after experiencing the king's traitor who lured the Japanese into the city, Magistrate Shang also learned a lesson. In order to verify the authenticity of the Japanese prisoners, Magistrate Shang also had ten of his confidants hanged down in baskets, and actually walked among the prisoners to check and identify them.
.
After the ten cronies went down, they carefully inspected and identified the prisoners.
In fact, it can be seen at a glance that these Japanese pirate captives are all real, with bald heads and bare feet, and their hair is not newly shaved, and there is no new hair stubble. If you look carefully, you can distinguish the real Japanese from the fake ones.
Wa. True Wa's bald Tsukiyo hair style is more natural, while fake Wa's hair is cut on the top of the head and the vertebrae are bunned backwards. Their Tsukiyo hair is different from that of True Wa. It is a bit abrupt and not natural enough. In addition, True Wa's height
They are all generally shorter, half a head or even a head shorter than the fake Japanese. Also, because the real Japanese speak bird language, the contours of their mouth muscles are obviously different from those of Akito.
Regardless of whether they were real Japanese or fake, their Japanese clothes were in tatters, and their hair, face, and body had many traces of being burned by fire.
These are consistent with the Zhejiang Army's victory. The Zhejiang Army relied on fire attacks to achieve this great victory.
All the Japanese pirates were tied very firmly, like hairy crabs, and couldn't be any stronger. Many Japanese pirates' hands and feet were injured because they were tied too tightly.
The ten cronies all used their hands and pulled hard, and it was really tight. Even though they tried their best, they couldn't tear it off. The Japanese pirate prisoners gasped in pain. It was definitely not like the king's traitor binding the Japanese pirates.
He looks like he can break free as soon as he breaks free.
They also checked the Japanese pirate weapons captured by the Zhejiang Army and carefully confirmed that these captured weapons were all genuine weapons commonly used by Japanese pirates. Most of them were Japanese swords, mixed with some tachi, Kusanagi swords, longbows, fire guns, etc.
Ten of Shang Zhifu's cronies checked again and again, even isolated the Zhejiang army, interrogated several Japanese prisoners, interrogated the situation of today's battle, and finally came to the conclusion that these Japanese prisoners were all genuine Japanese prisoners, and they were not pretending to be false.
Master Zhu really commanded the Zhejiang Army soldiers to achieve a great victory.
After ten trusted aides confirmed that the Japanese prisoners were correct, they were hoisted back to the city wall in a basket and reported back to the magistrate.
The reason why they returned to the city wall and resumed their lives was to prevent them from being controlled by the Zhejiang Army, which was unreasonable.
After receiving the confirmation reply from his trusted aide, Magistrate Shang immediately felt relieved. Confirming that the victory was correct, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered:
"Quickly, quickly, open the gate quickly and open it wide to welcome Mr. Zhu and the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers into the city."
"Are the celebration banquet ready? Chief Zhang, hurry up and get ready. As soon as Zihou and the Zhejiang Army soldiers enter the city, we will take them to the celebration banquet. There will be a lot of good meat, wine and dishes at the banquet.
Prepare a lot of food, as well as all kinds of snacks and fruits. It is better to not be able to finish it by then than to not have enough to eat."
"Also, the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army who came to report the victory before, please quickly invite them out and join the Zhejiang Army in the city."
.......
After the magistrate Shang gave the order, the gate of Suzhou City soon creaked open and opened to the maximum.
"Zihou, please come in." Magistrate Shang led Vice General Zhang and a group of officials from Suzhou City out of the city to welcome Zhu Ping'an and his entourage.
Zhu Pingan shook his head and did not enter immediately.
Magistrate Shang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhu Ping'an was a little angry that they didn't open the city gate to welcome him immediately.
However, the next second, Zhu Pingan's words made him feel ashamed for his thoughts.
"Prefect, for the sake of safety, it is better to take the prisoners into the city and put them in a prison for safekeeping."
Zhu Ping'an raised his hands to Magistrate Shang, pointed to the string of Japanese prisoners behind him, and said so.
"It makes sense, it makes sense. What Zihou said is absolutely true. Where is the prison officer? Quickly, clean up the prison quickly, cooperate with the Zhejiang army to put the Japanese prisoners into prisons, send more manpower, and strictly guard them. There will be no mistakes!"
Magistrate Shang nodded repeatedly and quickly arranged for the officers of the criminal chamber to cooperate with the Zhejiang army to put the Japanese pirates into prison.
