"Before I leave, Ping An has one more thing to report to the Governor. Please stand aside."
After breakfast, before bidding farewell to Zhang Jing, Zhu Pingan asked Zhang Jingping to step aside with a serious face.
Zhang Jing realized that Zhu Ping'an was going to talk about something very important, so he withdrew and prevented anyone from approaching the study.
"Zi Hou, it's time to talk." Zhang Jingping stepped back and said to Zhu Pingan.
"My Lord Governor, Jiaxing Magistrate Zhao Chong may have surrendered to the Japanese pirates. I have several clues in my hand."
Zhu Ping'an whispered to Zhang Jing, just in case the walls had ears.
Then, Zhu Ping'an truthfully told Zhang Jing all the reasons why he suspected Zhao Chong and the clues he had obtained from currently monitoring Zhao Chong.
"Okay! Very good! Great!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but clapped his hands excitedly after hearing this.
For a moment, Zhu Pingan was in a daze. What was going on? Why was Zhang Jing so excited when he heard that Zhao Chong surrendered to the Japanese pirates?!
"Now we are sure to lure the Japanese pirates to Jiaxing!" Zhang Jing's words cleared up Zhu Pingan's doubts.
I see!
Zhu Ping'an suddenly realized.
"Zihou, didn't you alert him?" Zhang Jing asked with concern. Zhao Chong was an important part of attracting the Japanese pirates to Jiaxing.
"No, after all, he is the prefect. I have to get full confidence and evidence to arrest him. Before that, I will not alert the snake. I warned the people watching to keep a sufficient distance. I would rather miss it than alert him.
Zhao Chong and Japanese pirates." Zhu Ping'an said with certainty.
"Very good, I can rest assured that Zihou will do the work." Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Zihou, starting from today, you can withdraw all the people you sent to monitor Zhao Chong.
Just give it to me."
"Follow your orders." Zhu Ping'an followed his instructions.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Jing, Zhu Ping'an took everyone to Shaoxing and made a special detour to the north for a special trip to Wangjiangjing.
Wangjiangjing was the main battlefield where Zhang Jing organized the 18th Route Army to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. The name of Wangjiangjing Victory comes from this place.
The right time, right place, and right people are not just talking about it. If you want to have the right geographical location, how can you get the right geographical location if you don’t understand the geographical situation of mountains and rivers?!
Zhu Pingan came to Wangjiangjing. At first, Zhu Pingan thought this place was a river flowing from north to south.
Jingma, water flowing from north to south, from high to low.
Wangjiangjing is a river next to Wangjiacun that flows from north to south and from high to low.
But when he arrived at Wangjiangjing, Zhu Pingan discovered that there was not only a river, but also a Wangjiangjing town beside the river.
Wangjiangjing Town is incredibly prosperous. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the town. The town is very large, with a radius of dozens of miles.
The town of Wangjiangjing is a famous silk town, producing tens of thousands of pieces of silk every day. There are many shops in the town, and the streets are clean and prosperous. The locals call Wangjiangjing "the world's clothes and quilts".
Zhu Ping'an came to Wangjiangjing and rode a horse around Wangjiangjing for more than 20 miles. He understood why this place became a battlefield.
Wangjiangjing is located at the junction of Zhejiang and South Zhili. It is connected to Jiaxing in the south and is the bridgehead of Jiaxing. It is connected to Suzhou Prefecture in South Zhili to the north.
There are the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, large and small rivers, dense water networks, and undulating hills, making it a natural battlefield.
This place is actually more suitable for Japanese pirates who have individual bravery and outstanding small group combat capabilities. It makes sense for Japanese pirates to choose this place.
In addition, although this is a suitable place for Japanese pirates to take advantage of individual soldiers, as long as they resist the Japanese pirates' offensive and then send troops to cut off the Japanese pirates' retreat, they can form a closed-door and dog-fighting trend against the Japanese pirates. It is reasonable for Zhang Jing to choose this place as the main battlefield.
.
The Japanese pirates chose this place to break through, and Zhang Jing chose this place to close the door and fight dogs. It was inevitable that this place would become the main battlefield.
Zhu Ping'an carefully circled around Wangjiangjing Dama, imprinting every plant, tree, and river in his mind. He could not stay out of this battle, and he had to participate in it no matter what.
According to the records I have read before, in history, the Wangjiangjing Great Victory is known as the greatest victory since the Japanese invasion in the southeast. Its result was only the annihilation of 1,980 Japanese pirates, which was far inferior to the results of the Suzhou Defense War.
The Japanese pirates in Xu Hai gathered another 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. If Wang Jiangjing's victory still only resulted in 1,980 soldiers, the Japanese pirates would only lose one-tenth of their troops, and the blow to the Japanese pirates would not be heavy enough.
.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an wanted to participate in it and try his best to crack down on the Japanese pirates in Xu Hai.
It would be better if this group of Japanese pirates could be exterminated.
Although Zhu Pingan knows that it is difficult, nothing in the world is easy. The harder it is, the harder it is to work hard.
The dense network of rivers and undulating hills here are suitable for individual Japanese pirates, but this is more suitable for firearms.
As long as you occupy a few key strongholds and give full play to the advantages of firearms, the Japanese pirates will definitely be unable to survive!
As the saying goes, no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives, let alone guns.
Zhu Ping'an carefully looked at the mountains and terrain, and selected a few points that were quite suitable for the Zhejiang army to use its firepower, and he knew them clearly.
If the Zhejiang army participated in the Battle of Wangjiangjing and occupied these points, the Japanese pirates would be unable to advance or retreat and suffer heavy losses.
"Let's go back to Shaoxing quickly!"
After Zhu Ping'an imprinted the mountains and terrain of Wangjiangjing into his mind, he took the reins of his horse, clamped the horse's belly, and took the lead in galloping southward.
A group of Zhejiang troops followed with their horses whipping up, and the large group of troops headed towards Shaoxing.
The return journey was uneventful, and we did not encounter the invading Japanese pirates. We galloped all the way and arrived in Shaoxing before evening.
Zhu Pingan went home and hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes to wash away the coldness, and then went to see Li Shu and the two little guys to avoid overcoming the cold. Li Shu was still in confinement, and the two little guys were still young and had weak resistance.
"Giggle, Brother Zhu, give them a hug and see if they are heavy again. They are like two little pigs, especially your girl. She eats so much that the milk from the two wet nurses will be enough for her.
Eat one."
Li Shu was filled with motherly love and hugged the confused little Pang Ni to Zhu Ping'an like a treasure.
"Let me hug you, my dear daughter."
Zhu Ping'an carefully took over the little girl with both hands. Sure enough, after only two days, the little girl had gained weight again.
Little Pang Ni likes Zhu Pingan very much. When Zhu Pingan is hugged, she shows a big smile, and her little baby sounds like a kitten.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but kiss her.
He couldn't favor one person against another. Zhu Pingan put down his little fat girl and bent down to pick up his little chubby son. As soon as he picked it up, he felt warm in his arms. He found that the little guy peed a lot. Not only did he wet the thin blanket, but also Zhu Pingan's
My clothes were wet with urine.
The little guy still looked innocent and looked at Zhu Ping'an naively.
"Your son still cares about you and keeps it specially for you." Li Shu couldn't stop laughing when she saw this.
