The first thousand three hundred and twenty-six chapters are all in the haha
Zhu Ping'an sent away Ruonan, a witch who kept asking questions. As soon as he returned to Jingnan County, he received a copy of the Di Bao from Taizhou Prefecture. A short paragraph in the Di Bao recorded Wang Zhi's request to open a port for trade. Three days ago, Wang Zhi submitted a letter to the court.
The court sent a letter requesting the opening of the port to the city. Today the imperial court responded. Not only did it not agree to Wang Zhi’s request to open the port to the city, it also gave Wang Zhi a stern rebuke, forcing him to change his mind and attack the pirates who burned, killed and plundered to apologize.
The great Japanese invasion of Jiajing has begun!
As soon as Zhu Ping'an saw this record, he immediately realized this and quickly ordered to closely monitor the coasts of Jingnan, especially the coasts suitable for landing, to warn Japanese pirates from invading Jingnan. At the same time, he ordered the people in various places to be notified to clear the country and evacuate nearby.
County towns, outposts, and deep mountains were built to avoid Japanese invasion. Officers with anti-Japanese experience were assigned to the county walls and various Japanese outposts, and nearby young and strong people were deployed to assist in the defense of the county town and outposts.
After experiencing the anti-Japanese war and disaster relief, Zhu Pingan's prestige was at its peak in Jingnan. No common people questioned Zhu Pingan's words, and they all acted according to Zhu Pingan's orders. For a time, the entire Jingnan was mobilized, and the people brought food from their homes to
They loaded their belongings into trucks, drove pigs, cattle, sheep and horses, and took the old and the young with them into the county town and outposts to avoid the Japanese pirates.
After people retreated to the county town and guarded the Japanese sentry fort, the city gate and the fort gate were closed. Not only that, layers of heavy objects were piled behind the city gate to prevent Japanese pirates from breaking in.
The golden juice feast that made great contributions to the anti-Japanese war last time was also arranged for the Japanese pirates in advance. On the city wall and in the sentry fort, there were large iron pots filled with golden juice, which were prepared for the Japanese pirates to feast on.
kilograms of preparation
If we use current language to describe it, it means that Jingnan has entered a first-level anti-Japanese state.
On the first day, people were highly nervous and on guard all the time. Especially the people on guard at the coast were even more nervous. They did not even dare to blink, lest the Japanese pirates would appear in their sights in the next second. However, this time
The weather is calm in Jingnan, not to mention the shadow of Japanese pirates. The entire sea is very quiet, there is no strong wind, and there are no big waves. Even the tide in the evening is much gentler, and it is clear that humans and animals are harmless.
On the second day, Jingnan was also calm and the Japanese pirates did not invade.
On the third day, Jingnan was also calm, and no trace of Japanese pirates was seen until the sunset. Some people who had fled to Jingnan during the flood felt that the county magistrate was making a fuss, and began to complain one after another.
started to complain.
"You said that the flood had just passed, and it didn't take long for us to settle down. We moved into our new home, planted vegetable seedlings, and raised two pigs. Now we have hope for this day. The county magistrate said, 'The Japanese pirates are coming,' and then we started again.
Let's abandon our homes and land. Look, it's only the third day. There's no trace of Japanese pirates. Don't you think the county magistrate is torturing people?"
There was a man who had fled to Jingnan and moved to Jingnan. He took his family and two pigs with him and hid in the nearby Jingnan County. Looking at the messy temporary residence, he couldn't help but complain to others.
"That's not what happened. If nothing else, our hearts were so frightened that the county magistrate said, 'The Japanese pirates are coming.' Big brother, you must have come here to escape from other places. What a coincidence, so am I."
I have to say, this flood is terrible, but no matter how terrible it is, it can't compare to the Japanese pirates. When the Japanese pirates cross the border, they rape, kill, and plunder. They commit all kinds of evil and are extremely insane. Alas, our village experienced a Japanese pirate ten years ago. It was so miserable.
, I’m not afraid of your jokes. I still have nightmares at night. The county official said that the Japanese pirates were coming, and I was scared out of my mind. I haven’t come back until now. Let me tell you, I
For three days, I was so scared that I didn’t even have a bite to eat. But look, there’s no trace of Japanese pirates here. I’m afraid all my hard work these days has been in vain.”
This man was also a refugee who came to Jingnan during the flood. What the man said just now resonated with him. After the man finished complaining, he couldn't help but join in the complaint.
"What are you talking about? Do you have any conscience when you say this? They were all eaten by dogs. If it weren't for the county magistrate, your family would have starved to death long ago. You still want to have a house to live in?! You also want to have a wife and children?
Pithead?! You still want to have land to farm and raise pigs and lambs?! If I were three or five years younger, you would have to bear my crutch."
An old man with a white beard who was also a refugee from other places couldn't help walking up to them on crutches after hearing what they said, blowing his beard and staring at them, and slapped them in the face.
"Old man, this number is the same. We are not repaying kindness with vengeance, and we are wolf-hearted people. The county has saved us. We are grateful to the county from the bottom of our hearts. We still have the county's longevity tablet at home. We burn a stick of incense every morning and evening.
, I have never forgotten it. However, no one can make mistakes without being a sage, and the county magistrate is also a human being, and the county magistrate also makes mistakes sometimes. It is out of gratitude to the county magistrate that we cannot bear to see the county magistrate make mistakes.
"
When the old man said something to him, the man's face suddenly turned red as if it was full of blood, and he hurriedly defended himself.
"That's right, tigers still have time to take a nap. What's wrong with our county minister taking a nap? This is so normal. We point out the problem because we want our county minister to do better. If we all open our eyes and pretend to be blind, what will happen to us?
This is the one who is harming the county magistrate. Master, do you deserve to be so excited?!"
Another person also defended.
"Ahem, cough, cough, you are ungrateful, you are shameless, you are white-eyed wolves."
They refused to explain. This explanation made the old man cough in anger. He hit the ground hard with his crutch, stretched out his wrinkled hand, pointed at their noses and cursed.
"Come on, old man, you have gone crazy. If we can't offend you, why can't we hide?!"
The man waved his hand, turned around, and ignored the old man with the white beard.
"that is."
The other person also turned around.
"Haha, you foreigners are so self-righteous. Let me tell you, our county magistrate has never made a mistake. Every time we are wrong, it is self-righteous people like you. The success of the last anti-Japanese war was all due to
The county magistrate was aware of everything, and judged in advance the city gate where the Japanese pirates would attack, and took precautions. This allowed us in Jingnan to successfully resist the Japanese pirates. The county magistrate said that the Japanese pirates were coming, so the Japanese pirates must be coming soon."
A local heard their conversation and couldn't help but chuckled and said sarcastically.
"Just brag, you really know how to add fuel to the fire, how awesome is the county magistrate?!" the two said in dissatisfaction.
"I don't know about small things. But we have never seen a county official miss such a big thing."
The locals nodded seriously.
"hehe"
The two of them didn't say anything else, but they said everything because everything was in harmony.
