True to his word, Zhu Ping'an immediately ordered Liu Dadao and others to hand over 500 pairs of spare cotton armor to the wolf soldiers.
Touching the brand new and well-made armor, Cen Dalu was still in disbelief. Such good armor was really given to us?!
Real stuff!
The inside is lined with iron sheets, which is not only powerful, but also has excellent defensive capabilities!
Such good armor, so many armors, this Lord Zhongyuan, whom we only met once, actually gave them to us!
"Silly boy, why are you still standing there, why don't you join me in saying thank you to Mr. Zhu." Mrs. Wa Shi saw Cen Dalu giggling on the spot while touching his armor, so she couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head and lectured him.
"Oh, thank you Master Zhu, thank you Master Zhu."
Only then did Cen Dalu react and confirm that the armors that were so good and so numerous really belonged to their wolf soldiers.
At this time, Cen Dalu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Their wolf soldiers were ordered by Governor Zhang Jingzhang to come to the south of the Yangtze River from Guangxi to help the Central Plains people exterminate the Japanese pirates. When they set out from Tianzhou, their local government did not give them a grain of rice, an arrow, or a horse.
!
They prepared their own dry food, their own weapons, and their own flattery. They traveled thousands of miles and went through untold hardships, from Wuzhou, through Nanxiong, Guangdong, over the Dayuling Mountains, and then took a boat to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and transferred to Jiangnan.
One stop, disembark in Danyang, Jiangsu.
However, as soon as they got off the boat and set foot on the land of Jiangnan, their wolf soldiers were given a bucket of cold water.
Exhausted, they wanted to drink hot soup and have a good sleep before continuing on their way.
To this day, Cen Dalu still remembers the scene when they first got off the ship.
"Hey, we are here to help the Central Plains people in the south of the Yangtze River fight the Japanese pirates. We are their reinforcements, and they don't even have to wait for us to welcome us."
"Haha, no, think about it. When we were in chaos in Tianzhou, our brothers Langbing who returned to Shunzhou came to help us. How did we entertain them? Those fat pigs, fat sheep, fat chickens, and fat ducks were roasted directly.
It's dripping with oil. I heard that the food in the Central Plains is so delicious that it can swallow people's tongues."
"Hey hey hey, I'm still a bachelor. What if a woman from the Central Plains falls in love with me while she's cooking for us?"
"Just dream, Dachong. As ugly as you are, how can a woman from the Central Plains fall in love with you?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
The wolf soldiers who had just disembarked from the boat and set foot on the land of Danyang were all very happy. After sitting on the boat for so long, it was damp, cramped, and swaying. Now they have landed. Thinking about the welcome they are about to receive, they are all full of expectations.
.
However, they thought about so many scenarios, but they never expected that the county magistrate of Danyang would avoid seeing their wolf soldiers, and the people in Danyang City would also close their doors one by one and refuse to accept their wolf soldiers!
no!
We have come all the way to help you fight against Japanese pirates, but are you treating us like this?! Not to mention eating pots of slurry, competing to heat soup, and not even giving us a sip of cold water?! Avoiding us is like avoiding snakes and scorpions!
We are here to help you fight the Japanese pirates! We are your reinforcements!
It's so chilling for you to be like this.
In the end, I could only give up the idea of resting, drag my exhausted body, and continue to move forward.
"Bah! They are still Danyang people, feel shameful for them! During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling relied on 5,000 Danyang infantry to fight 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry for eight days and eight nights. Although he was defeated, he was glorious and became famous in one battle; during the Three Kingdoms period, Danyang became famous.
The soldiers are still famous all over the world. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce all recruited soldiers in Danyang to fight for the world! But look at how cowardly they are now! It's really eye-catching!"
The wolf soldiers arrived at the second stop - Suzhou, cursing all the way!
"Danyang County is a small place and does not have the courage to accept us into the city. This Suzhou City is a famous big city in the world, so it will definitely not be petty."
"Yes, yes, the big city is definitely grand."
The wolf soldiers arrived at Suzhou City with their extremely tired bodies full of expectations.
But!
However, the prefect of Suzhou strictly ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and they were not allowed to enter the city, and they were ordered to set up tents outside the city.
Damn it!
In the cold winter, with the cold wind howling and snowflakes falling, you let us set up a tent outside to rest! This, this is your way of hospitality!
"Your Excellency, the prefect, we have been waiting for the savages from the southwest for a long time to win over Susong. We have come all the way to help the king's army destroy the Japanese. Now we are trapped and exhausted. We just want a shelter from the wind and snow, and a place to rest for one night. That's enough.
"
"Please rest assured, Lord Magistrate, that Biqiu and I will commit no crimes and will never disturb a single person in your area."
Mrs. Watts stepped forward and clasped her fists.
"Under the old system of our ancestors, no matter where the wolf soldiers are being recruited, they are not allowed to enter the city!" the Suzhou prefect insisted.
"What kind of old system is this?! There is an old system specifically for our wolf soldiers? Where are the other guest soldiers? When we heard that the Shandong Lancers were coming, you were so enthusiastic?!"
"That's unreasonable! Didn't you invite our wolf soldiers?! Is this how you treat the reinforcements?!"
"Quit it. Since you don't welcome us, why should we lick our faces and work hard for you? Quit it, go home, let's go back to our hometown! I really think Grandpa Xihan came to work for you to fight the Japanese pirates!"
The vast number of wolf soldiers broke through their defenses for a while. Their bodies were tired, cold and chilled, and their hearts were filled with anger, anger and grievance. They shouted excitedly to go home.
There are even many wolf soldiers waving weapons and clamoring to break into Suzhou City. If you don't let them in, I insist on going in!
"How dare you! You think we in Suzhou are easy to bully. Let me tell you, there are 40,000 Japanese pirates lying dead under our city. Do you want to keep company with them?!"
When the Suzhou soldiers on the city heard the noise of the wolf soldiers, they waved their weapons and showed off to the wolf soldiers below the city their glorious record of killing 40,000 Japanese pirates in Suzhou City, severely destroying the majesty of the wolf soldiers.
"Bah! It was obviously the Zhejiang Army that killed the Japanese pirates. Why are you so proud of yourselves? If it weren't for the Zhejiang Army, you would have been captured by the Japanese pirates!"
The wolf soldiers had heard about the Battle of Suzhou on the way here, but until the protagonist of this battle was the Zhejiang Army, if it hadn't been for the Zhejiang Army, Suzhou would have fallen to the Japanese pirates just like Jiaxing, but they actually had the nerve to brag about it.
In the end, Mrs. Wa's prestige was enough to suppress the wolf soldiers who broke the defense and made a commotion. She also waited for Zhang Jing's envoy and persuaded the Suzhou magistrate to open the city gate before allowing the wolf soldiers to enter the city. The scope of their activities was also limited to the city.
military camp.
Along the way, I’ve experienced a lot of chills and blank stares.
The local people in Jiangnan also discriminated against them, saying that they wore black turbans and white turbans, just like the dead wearing mourning
This was the first time they had encountered such generosity and kindness from Zhu Pingan.
"Master Zhu, you are the first person that I, Cen Dalu, have admired since I arrived in the Central Plains. Before, I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. I was just a fledgling, unable to see Mount Tai. I apologize to you again. I am a barbarian.
, I can’t speak, but I, Cen Dalu, swear to God that from now on, whenever your lord gives orders, whether it’s to go up the mountain of swords or to go down into the sea of fire, I, Cen Dalu, will do whatever I can. If there is any violation, I will have thousands of arrows pierced through my heart, and I will not die a happy death!"
Cen Dalu's eyes were red, and he knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped, completely impressed by Zhu Pingan.
