Chapter 2091 Announcement to the whole city, swearing to go to war
The gates of Shaoxing City's markets, teahouses, restaurants, and inside and outside the city gates were all greeted by busy servants. They skillfully painted with paste and then posted notices one after another.
"Why are there so many notices posted? There are notices everywhere inside and outside the city. I am almost surrounded by notices?"
"Come on, go and see, who can read? Let me read it to everyone, what is written on this notice?"
"Isn't it true that some heinous and treasonous criminal appeared out of nowhere, and the court issued a document to arrest him at sea? I remember the last time there was such a big movement, it was ten years ago when the bandit Wang Ermazi escaped from prison and revolted, proclaiming himself king.
"
When the people around him saw this, their lively nature was immediately revealed, and everyone gathered around him, crowding into three floors inside and three floors outside.
Everyone was curious about what the notice said, and many people speculated that some heinous criminal might have appeared.
Someone mentioned the gangster Wang Ermazi, which immediately aroused the old memories of many people and started shouting.
"I know that. Wang Ermazi was caught in prison for theft. The prison was damp and dim, and there was mold everywhere. But one day Wang Ermazi was surprised to find that bamboo leaves were growing on the bamboo bed he was sleeping on. He was very surprised. Prison
other inmates inside
At this scene, they were all surprised. All the prisoners thanked Wang Er Mazi one after another. They had been making bamboo beds for so many years, but this bamboo actually sprouted and grew leaves. Isn't this a good omen? All the prisoners felt that this meant that Wang Er
Mazi will definitely prosper in the future
Although he is in prison now, he will definitely be extremely valuable in the future. There are a few people in the prison who are worried about the chaos in the world. They instigated Wang Ermazi and said, "Bamboo grows on your bed while you sleep. This is a once-in-a-century good omen. God will not give it to you."
Take it and take the blame instead, that is
He said that this is a revelation from God. If you don't accept it, you will be in trouble. You might as well escape from prison, rise up, and be a prince. Then, Wang Ermazi really escaped from prison with some prisoners and started a rebellion outside.
, became a pirate."
"I know, I know. At that time, the imperial court issued a sea arrest document, and the news was similar to today. I still remember the last sentence of the sea arrest document very clearly to this day, 'Anyone in the world who can accuse this thief will be rewarded ten
Wan'. Alas, what a pity, we
Without that fate, Wang Ermazi finally escaped and rebelled and became a pirate. After a while, he became king and became king. Not long after, he was defeated by a general sent by the imperial court. I heard that Wang Ermazi was also shot by random arrows.
If you were shot and turned into a hedgehog, that would be a disaster."
"Come here, someone who is literate, and read the notice for us to see which gangster appears this time?"
People gathered around the notice and the noise was a hundred times louder than in the wet market.
"What kind of sea fishing document?! It's nonsense! You are illiterate and your nonsense is really making people laugh!"
An old man with a goatee snorted and looked down upon everyone. He reached out and tapped the notice, and then everyone else.
Everyone was about to reply when suddenly someone in the crowd said loudly, "That's Old Master Yang, a sensible person in our village. He is well-read and literate. Old Master Yang, please read it to us quickly. What is written on it?"
When people heard that this was an old master, they all tolerated it, pinched their noses, complimented Old Master Yang, and asked him to read the notice to everyone.
After being complimented by everyone, Old Master Yang shook his sleeves, regained his posture, coughed, and read to everyone in a measured tone:
"Zhejiang Governor Zhu Ping'an wrote to all Shaoxing and all Zhejiang elders: Today the Japanese pirates are powerful and their crimes are monstrous. They commit murder, arson, rape and plunder, and they commit all kinds of evil. All the fathers and elders have suffered greatly from it. Today, Zhu Ping'an bears the emperor's favor and is resentful.
As governor of Zhejiang, he has the responsibility to protect the land and keep every inch of grass alive
Every inch of land, every inch of island, every inch of sea, must not be given up. In order to repay the mighty favor of the emperor and to comfort my father and fellow villagers, I will vow to go out tomorrow to quell the Japanese pirates along the coast of southern Zhejiang. I will return peace to my father and fellow villagers with every inch of river, mountain and inch of blood. How can the Japanese pirates wait for Sun Ping? I would like to mention one
A brigade of ten thousand tigers and wolves, leaping horses and wielding swords, marched upon the Japanese capital."
After Old Master Yang finished reciting, the people present were all stunned. They all looked at Old Master Yang in disbelief, wondering if their own ears had heard it wrong.
Pledge to fight!
The governor is going to fight to quell the Japanese pirates in southern Zhejiang!
The Japanese pirates in southern Zhejiang? Isn’t that the largest Japanese pirate force, the Wangzhi Japanese pirates?
I heard that there were nearly 100,000 Japanese pirates directly under Wang Zhi and under his command.
The Zhejiang Army under the command of our Grand Governor is very capable of fighting, but how many troops does the Zhejiang Army have? I heard it is only over ten thousand.
Ten thousand versus one hundred thousand, how to fight this battle?
Will our governor go to pacify the Japanese pirates in southern Zhejiang, or will he be pacified?
The people were in disbelief and doubted life.
"Old Master Yang, you didn't mean to read the notice randomly to tease us, did you?"
"That's right, Mr. Yang, let's have fun and make trouble. Don't make fun of the governor's notice."
All the people said in a confused voice.
"What am I teasing you about? The governor's notice is written with great literary talent. Listen, every inch of river and mountain is bloody, how can the Japanese pirates treat you? Sun Ping is willing to carry a brigade of 10,000 tigers and wolves, leaping on horses and wielding swords to attack the Japanese capital... I
If I had even 10% of the literary talent of our great governor, I would still be standing here talking to you, and I would already be at the top of the temple, and you would burn incense when I see you."
When Old Master Yang heard people questioning him, he immediately blew his beard and stared.
"Yes, what Old Master Yang said makes sense. Every inch of river and mountain has an inch of blood. How can the Japanese pirates treat Sun Ping? He is willing to carry a brigade of 10,000 tigers and wolves, leaping on horses and wielding swords to attack the Japanese capital. This sounds so exciting. It makes my blood boil. Yang
The old master doesn’t have the time to do this.”
"That's right, that's right. If Old Master Yang had these two things, he would still be a thirty-year-old boy. He would have been admitted to the scholar's examination and become a great master."
People thought so.
In other words, the notice read by Old Master Yang is true, which means that the governor will really swear to go out tomorrow to quell the Japanese pirates in southern Zhejiang!
Brave!
Ten thousand versus one hundred thousand!
The governor is so brave!
"Our eldest governor is so brave. There are 100,000 Japanese pirates in Wang Zhi. If the eldest governor goes to pacify Wang Zhi, wouldn't it be an egg against a rock?"
Some people expressed concerns about Zhu Ping'an's oath to go to war.
"Our governor is not a fool. Back then, under the city of Suzhou, our governor did not have as many troops as we do now. He only had two or three thousand troops. Facing the 40,000 to 50,000 Xuhai Japanese pirate coalition forces, our governor had all the troops.
They were beaten until they were almost completely wiped out. Now that our eldest boss has tens of thousands of Zhejiang troops under his command, we will definitely be able to fight them even more."
Someone immediately expressed support.
"We have been suffering from the Japanese pirates for a long time. Who has no relatives who have been harmed by the Japanese pirates? This group of Japanese pirates who killed thousands of people burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. It is rare for the government to send troops to suppress the Japanese pirates. No matter whether they win or lose, it is a good thing. Tomorrow I will go to see the sworn master go out to fight.
, to the governor, to cheer for the officers and soldiers."
"That's right, that's right, let's go and cheer tomorrow."
"Go together, go together."
People quickly reached a consensus to watch the oath-taking ceremony tomorrow and cheer for the army.
