In the evening, the sleet had already stopped, and a sunset appeared in the west horizon, dyeing half of the mountain red.
"If they launched the attack directly just now, it would cause us a lot of trouble. Now, they have missed the opportunity."
Zhu Ping'an, accompanied by Liu Dadao, inspected the camp and looked at the Japanese pirates camping not far away, and said slowly.
"Why did the young master say that?" Liu Dadao was puzzled.
"It was raining and snowing just now, and our mesh gun was very affected. Although we added a wind and rain cover to the mesh gun, it was not tightly connected and we could not fire in rainy weather for a long time. Now the rain has stopped,
The sunset is also coming out. As the saying goes, the morning glow does not go out, but the sunset travels thousands of miles. Today it will be a sunny day tomorrow, and it will be a great benefit to fight our Zhejiang arms."
Zhu Ping'an explained slowly.
Just now, the Zhejiang Army counterattacked the Japanese pirates, and the Zhejiang Army's firearms were affected by rain and snow, otherwise the results of the battle would definitely be greater than that now.
Of course, fortunately, the sleet just now was not very heavy. If it rained heavily, Zhu Ping'an would have to let the Zhejiang army stay in the camp to avoid field battles.
After all, the firearms are just merely mesh guns and have to be affected by the weather.
"So that's the case. I understand. Young Master. Hehe. It seems that the leader of the Japanese pirates on the other side is not very good." Liu Dadao smiled.
"They are also cautious, and there is no big mistake in their caution, but they are prone to missing opportunities." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and said lightly.
"Young Master, then when should you be cautious and when should you be bold?" Liu Dadao asked Zhu Ping'an for advice.
"Only by knowing your enemy and being fully aware of the battlefield information, you can make correct judgments. Be cautious when you should be cautious, and be bold when you should be bold." Zhu Ping'an said slowly.
"I understand, thank you for your teachings." Liu Dadao suddenly realized and hurriedly thanked Zhu Ping'an.
"Why are you polite?" Zhu Ping'an waved his hand.
Zhu Ping'an and his friends continued to patrol the camp, and soon came to a camp where all kinds of screams came.
"Have you confessed yet?" Zhu Ping'an asked curiously, "The bones of these Japanese prisoners are quite hard."
"Sir, I have confessed, but two Japanese pirates were extremely guilty. They even repeatedly brutally killed women and children, and killed a baby. After the brothers interrogated, they learned about their beastly behavior. They couldn't help but take turns to slaughter them.
The whip avenges the victims." The guards replied, a little nervous, fearing that Zhu Ping'an would punish them.
"Have the information they confessed been verified? Is it consistent?" Zhu Ping'an asked again.
"We all interrogated separately and compared them, and the information they confessed was not different."
The guards replied.
"Take me the confession information, and don't waste your energy. Cut the two Japanese pirates who were extremely guilty. The other Japanese prisoners were shackled and arranged physical work for them, so don't let them have idle meals."
Zhu Ping'an ordered.
"As for the order." The guards were relieved and took the order loudly.
Zhu Ping'an returned to the tent with his confession, placed the confession on the table, and carefully read the contents on it.
Through confession, we learned that the Japanese pirates on the opposite side were composed of two groups, one was led by Wang Zhi's adopted son Mao Haifeng, with a force of 8,000; the other was led by a man named Otomo Satochuan, with a force of 8,000 troops.
Six thousand.
Two Japanese pirate coalition forces in one place, with a force of 14,000, which is the vanguard army of Japanese pirates.
Seeing Mao Haifeng's name, Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up. He is familiar with this character. Among the things in the Ming Dynasty, Mao Haifeng was a key figure in Hu Zongxian's surrender to Wang Zhi. It was because Mao Haifeng was fooled by Hu Zongxian.
He became limp, and finally Wang Zhi was tricked by Hu Zongxian.
Although Hu Zongxian's plan to recruit and recruit Wang Bengu was finally over by the Zhejiang Inspector Wang Bengu, Wang Bengu arrested Wang Zhi and was then executed, which made Hu Zongxian's plan to recruit and recruit and recruit and recruit him to fail, and eventually led to a ten-year catastrophe in Liangzhe.
However, I have to say that Mao Haifeng is a key gentleman in recruiting Wang Zhi.
Mao Haifeng is Wang Zhi's adopted son, and the deep-skinned Wang Zhi's newcomer, and his prestige among the Japanese pirates is also not low.
Such a character is so close that it is delivered to the door. If you don’t make good use of it, it will be a waste.
If you want to recruit Wang Zhi, you must show your strength. A sheep cannot surrender evil wolves, but a lion can.
Tomorrow will be sunny, and I will try my best to use Mao Haifeng to let him see the strength of Zhejiang arms.
To both kindness and power are the way to control people.
As for this Mawo named Otomo Satokawa, Zhu Ping'an looked at the deeds about him in his confession and did not take him lightly.
This is a landless noble in Japan. After the destruction, a group of ronin gathered around him. He dared to fight and kill, and gradually grew into one of the top ten King Kongs under Wang Zhi. Most of the six thousand Japanese pirates under his command were real Japanese and had strong combat power.
.
The most eye-catching confession is that Otomo Satokawa also has an elite iron artillery team of 800 people.
The iron cannon used by this elite iron cannon team of 800 people was exchanged for Otomo Sadaicawa from Hong Maoyi.
Otomo Sadaichiro claims to be proficient in Chinese military tactics, and named his troops according to "wind", "forest", "water", and "fire". This iron artillery team is the "fire" army, which is the most proud of him.
The elite is also his sharpest minion.
According to the confession, Mao Haifeng and Otomo Satokawa have different personalities. Mao Haifeng is generous and brave, and has a strong spirit. Otomo Satokawa is a relatively arrogant person, but he is also insidious and wise.
This coalition was dominated by Mao Haifeng, and Otomo Satokawa. According to the confession, the two of them had a harmonious relationship and there was no suspicion of internal strife.
After reading the confession carefully twice, Zhu Ping'an put it aside and thought about it in the tent for a moment.
Originally, when he didn't know that the leader of the opposite Japanese pirates was Mao Haifeng, Zhu Ping'an actually intended to let someone take turns to the Japanese pirate camp to beat drums and fire artillery to harass the Japanese pirate camp, affecting the rest of the Japanese pirates and accumulating advantages for tomorrow's battle. However, after knowing that the leader of the opposite Japanese pirates was Mao Haifeng, Zhu
Ping An thought for a moment and gave up this plan.
Since he wanted to use Mao Haifeng, based on historical deeds and confessions of prisoners, Mao Haifeng was a generous and brave man.
If you want to use him, it is best to convince him and minimize his hostility.
Tomorrow, defeat him with dignity and convince him of his defeat.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an ordered outside, "Notify each battalion to be divided into three batches, take turns to rest and guard; increase patrol efforts, set up several more secret posts outside the battalion to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking the camp at night. In addition, go to the river
Fill more water to prevent fire attack.”
Although we do not harass the Japanese pirates, we must also be prepared for night attacks by the Japanese pirates.
