Since it is not feasible to defend the city with all our strength, we must send troops out of the city to suppress the Japanese.
However, sending troops out of the city is also a big deal.
Who should be sent out of the city to suppress the Japanese pirates?! To be honest, no one was willing to lead troops out of the city to suppress the Japanese pirates. After all, Zhu Xiang, the commander of the Jiangning Camp who was famous for his military strategy, was killed by the Japanese pirates. Jiang Sheng, the commander of the Jiangning Camp who was famous for his martial arts, was seriously injured and on the verge of death. If he had not faked his death and deceived the Japanese pirates, we would have to burn paper for him on this time next year. Who is willing to risk their lives to go out of the city to suppress the Japanese pirates now? Isn't it better to defend the city safely in the city? Why go out and risk their lives to destroy the Japanese pirates
Also, how many troops should be sent out of the city to suppress the Japanese pirates? If too few are sent, there is a fear that the Japanese pirates cannot be wiped out. But if too many are sent, the defense of Yingtian will be in trouble. If something goes wrong in Yingtian, no one can bear the responsibility. Without dozens of heads, the emperor's wrath cannot be quelled.
As a result, the scene of the recognition became noisy again, with people shirking responsibility...
"I am willing to lead the troops out of the city to serve as the deputy marquis." Yu Dayou frowned for a long time, and finally, impatiently, he walked past the crowd and stepped forward to ask for a fight.
Seeing that Yu Dayou volunteered to go out of the city to suppress the rebellion, the two officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief and agreed wholeheartedly.
"Oh, it's General Yu, that's no problem. General Yu has been fighting on the front line of destroying marquises for many years. He is experienced and has great military strategy. The person who can judge the matter of leaving the city must be General Yu.
"That's right. General Yu is the perfect fit. He is proficient in both naval and land warfare. I fully support General Yu's decision to go out of the city to suppress the Japanese."
"General Yu has repeatedly expelled and driven out Japanese pirates, and has a long history of military exploits. This time, he will surely be successful in suppressing the Japanese pirates."
"General Yu is a veteran of the battlefield. He has fought many battles and I think he can do it..."
Hearing everyone's praise, Yu Dayou couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth in self-mockery, why didn't I realize that I have such a good relationship with people before, you all have been hiding it too deeply.
"General Yu, please be patient." Zhang Jing nodded approvingly to Yu Dayou, then glanced at everyone one by one and asked slowly, "Everyone, are there any who are willing to go out of the city to destroy the Japanese?"
Quiet.
It was quiet.
At this moment, Zhang Jing seemed to have become a great magician. His question seemed to have cast a magic of silence. The entire meeting place suddenly became eerily quiet, with a dead silence.
All the officials present lowered their heads and even breathed carefully without making any sound, for fear of being spotted by Zhang Jing.
"I'll ask again, is there anyone among you who is willing to go out of the city and destroy the Japanese?!" Zhang Jing asked again.
Everyone present looked at their noses, and their noses at their hearts, still silent, and the scene remained silent.
"Haha, look at you. As an official appointed by the court, you have no sense of responsibility. As early as when the Japanese pirates in Shangyu captured Jiangning, Hu Zongxian, the imperial censor of Zhejiang Province who was supervising the army in Zhenwei Camp, had already sent me a document requesting to fight. He had already selected 800 elite soldiers in the Zhenwei Camp to stop and annihilate these daring Japanese pirates in the Cherry Garden outside Yingtian! I will record the performance of all of you one by one and submit it to His Majesty after the war."
Zhang Jing glanced at everyone, sneered, took out a document from his sleeve and showed it to everyone.
This document was the one sent by Hu Zongxian requesting war. The writing was passionate and iron-blooded, revealing his determination and confidence to wipe out the Japanese pirates.
All the officials looked ashamed, but mostly relieved. Hu Zongxian had already led 800 elite soldiers to the Cherry Orchard outside the city to stop the Japanese pirates, and Yu Dayou volunteered to fight. Now, with the two of them, we don't have to worry about being sent out of the city to destroy the Japanese pirates.
It's better to not take responsibility than to lose your life. You should know that this group of Japanese pirates is not ordinary, they are very fierce. You can see from their record since landing that this group of Japanese pirates are like the killers with brain problems.
More than one hundred people landed and went ashore. After more than half a month, they traveled thousands of miles and fought a large and small battle.
Someone has just counted that these Japanese pirates have killed an imperial censor, a county magistrate, two commanders, two captains and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, not to mention the injured officers and soldiers, whose number is countless.
Today, there are only about fifty Japanese pirates left, but they dared to attack Yingtian! Are they mentally ill?! They even destroyed the Jiangning Camp and captured Jiangning Town! After these two battles, this group of Japanese pirates did not lose a single person!
Tell me, are these pirates still human
Each of them is a ruthless character who can defeat a hundred enemies alone! They are like the gods of death in the world!
Going out of the city to fight against the Japanese is not only dangerous, it is extremely dangerous. Going out of the city to fight against the Japanese is a life-or-death struggle.
A bad review of "irresponsibility" in exchange for a life, it couldn't be more worthwhile! This account is a sure win!
As the officials were celebrating, Zhang Jing, He Sui and Duke Wei left the table to discuss for a while before reaching a consensus. Zhang Jing came back and looked at everyone, then issued a series of orders without question:
"Everyone, from this moment on, until the threat of the invading Japanese pirates disappears, Yingtian will enter a wartime situation. This official, He Zhenshou, and Xu Shoubei will take over the entire city. All government offices will obey the command! Anyone in the city who dares to disobey orders will be executed without mercy!"
"General Yu, I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the defense of Yingtian. All the troops of the Beijing camp in the city will be under your unified command. If Yingtian makes the slightest mistake, even if a single Japanese pirate breaks into Yingtian, you will be beheaded!"
"All of you camps in Beijing, obey the command of General Yu. Anyone who dares to be filthy will be killed without mercy! In addition, each of you camps will select 100 elite soldiers and generals, equipped with full weapons and armor, and go out of the inner city to the Cherry Garden to listen to the orders of Lord Hu Zongxian! Remember, I am talking about elite soldiers and generals. Anyone who dares to use the old, weak, sick and disabled will be killed without mercy!"
"All the rest of you, follow me up to the city wall and obey my orders. Anyone who dares to leave the city wall without permission will be killed!"
"All the officials and soldiers defending the city must fight bravely. Anyone who dares to retreat even a step will be killed without mercy!"
…
While Zhang Jing was issuing wartime orders, the 700-plus soldiers of the Zhejiang Army had finished their meals and gathered at the gate of the camp in full gear. At the forefront of the army, Zhu Ping'an was wearing a Mingguang armor and a protective soft armor. He held a long sword in his left hand and looked towards Yingtian. His eyes were full of confidence and determination. He waved his right hand and ordered: "The whole army will march, two routes will head south to help Yingtian!"
At Zhu Ping'an's command, the Zhejiang army broke camp and headed south under the leadership of Zhu Ping'an.
This time, we must not let this group of evil Japanese pirates escape from Yingtian City unscathed as they did in history!
You are so cool, but you still want to run away. That's wishful thinking!
I, Zhu Ping'an, do not agree!
Now that you are here, don’t leave! This time, we must make sure that this group of bandits will be buried under the city of Yingtian.
