Chapter 2092: Pledge of Allegiance

There are many temples in Shaoxing City, but the Qizhu Temple on Qizhu Street is different from any other temple in the city.

How is it different? What is enshrined in Qizhu Temple is neither Taoist gods, nor Buddhist Bodhisattvas, nor the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

It enshrines the military flag, that is, the large flag, so it is called the flag and flag temple. In ancient times, as well as in modern times, the military flag is the soul of an army. Killing a general and seizing the flag will often lead to an army

collapse.

Of course, in addition to military flags, the flag temple enshrines the corresponding flag gods, such as "Flaghead General", "Six Flag Generals", "Five Directions Flag God", "The Lord of Warships", "Golden Drum Horn"

There are 7 gods in total.

The purpose of building flag temples and worshiping flag gods is to hope that the military flags and flag gods will protect them and the army will win more battles.

As the Romans do in the countryside, the Zhejiang Army flag under Zhu Pingan was placed in this temple for worship as soon as Zhu Pingan took control of Zhejiang.

There are special temple celebrations, and incense will be burned and tributes will be offered to the military flags and flag gods in the flag temple regularly.

In the early morning, as the sun rises in the east, there is a sea of ​​people in front of Qizhu Temple. Countless men, women and children come from all directions.

In the open space in front of Qizhu Temple, Zhu Ping'an, dressed in military uniform, led a uniform 800 elite Zhejiang troops to slowly walk towards Qizhu Temple.

"Stop!"

"Turn right!"

The neat steps of the Zhejiang army opened the eyes of the onlookers. It was as shocking as the first time modern people saw the military parade in front of Tiananmen Square. They couldn't help but open their mouths and let out a "Fuck". Anyone who saw this neat steps was prohibited by the law.

The queue could not help but express the emotion of "mighty army".

The confidence of the people suddenly increased.

"Our governor is a champion. He never fights an unprepared battle. He wins every battle against Japanese pirates, and this time is no exception."

"Look at how powerful the Zhejiang army is. At the beginning, our governor only had 2,000 Zhejiang troops, but he almost wiped out the 40,000 Japanese pirates. Now, our governor has more than 10,000 such Zhejiang troops!"

"Yesterday, when I heard that our eldest governor was going to fight against Wang Zhi, I was worried all night. I was afraid that our eldest governor would not be able to defeat Wang Zhi, but would be defeated by Wang Zhi instead. I was furious.

Now that we in Shaoxing have seen the Zhejiang army, I am no longer afraid of Wang Zhi's revenge. Such a powerful army, even if it cannot defeat Wang Zhi, can still protect us."

"We have been waiting for many years, but it is rare for officers and soldiers to take the initiative to fight against Japanese pirates. No matter what the result is, it will be a good job."

The common people said this while watching the military parade, feeling a little more confident about the upcoming battle.

After the military parade, Zhu Pingan walked slowly to the temporary high platform, faced the north to worship Jiajing, and faced the Qizhu Temple to worship the flag god, and then began to read the sacrificial speech:

"Today, the Japanese pirates in southern Zhejiang are committing heinous crimes. They commit murder, arson, rape, and robbery. They commit all kinds of evil. My father and fellow villagers are suffering from it. As the governor of Zhejiang, I, Zhu Ping'an, have the responsibility to defend the land and protect the people."

It is said to be a memorial speech, but it is actually a message to declare the expedition, explaining to the Zhejiang army and the general public the reason for the expedition and why they were fighting.

"Fight unjust with justice and you will win!"

"If you use the right to defeat the unjust, you will definitely win!"

"Use the imperial court to attack the Japanese pirates, and you will definitely win!"

"by"

At the end of the memorial speech, Zhu Ping'an said six words of "certain victory", which attracted a crowd of Zhejiang troops and onlookers to shout "certain victory" in unison.

For a time, there were cheers of "Victory" for miles around the Qizhen Temple.

At this moment, among the onlookers, there were several waves of people with ulterior motives who were watching the scene in front of Qizhu Temple with cold eyes.

There were three people in the crowd wearing Jiaxing government official costumes, and they were also among the onlookers.

One of them is a confidant of Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, and the other two are Japanese pirates sent by Xu Hai to accompany Zhao Chong.

"No wonder Zhu Ping'an rushed back from Jiaxing in a hurry. It turned out that he was going to declare war on Wang Zhi!"

One of the Japanese pirates, Xu Hai, touched his chin and whispered to another Japanese pirate.

"Is Zhu Pingan crazy? Who does he think he is? How dare he attack Hui Wang Wang Zhi? Why does Hui Wang Wang Zhi need anyone? He has a hundred thousand men under his command, but Zhu Pingan has only a few soldiers under his command. He really eats the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

Already."

The fellow Japanese pirates looked at Zhu Ping'an who was reading out the memorial text with disdain and complained in confusion.

"This is a good thing! The more Zhu Pingan swells, the better. Then when our leaders use troops against Jiaxing and Zhang Jing, we don't have to worry about Zhu Pingan leading the Zhejiang army to cross paths." The Japanese pirate smiled and whispered.

At this moment, he looked relaxed, and finally figured out why Zhu Pingan returned from Jiaxing in a hurry.

It turned out that he came back to start a fight with Wang Zhi.

This is great news for Xu Hai and the Japanese pirates.

"That's true. If Zhu Pingan goes to fight Wang Zhi, we don't have to worry about the Zhejiang Army. Moreover, with Wang Zhi's strength, if Zhu Pingan goes to fight Wang Zhi, he is asking for trouble, not to mention asking for death.

eat."

The fellow Japanese pirates nodded vigorously.

"That's it. Zhu Ping'an can't defeat Wang Zhi. When the time comes, he will definitely move reinforcements from Zhang Jing. Haha, he can also reduce the troops around Jiaxing. When the time comes, it will be easier for us to attack Jiaxing and Zhang Jing.

Already."

The Japanese pirate nodded, convinced.

"We can go and report back to leader Xu Hai." said the Japanese pirate comrades, "the leader is waiting for our news now."

"Let's pass the news back first. Well, let the confidants sent by the prefect Zhao take it back. We will keep an eye on it for another day tomorrow. Leader Xu Hai has told us many times that Zhu Ping'an is a treacherous little thief. We still keep an eye on him with our own eyes.

They send troops to southern Zhejiang, and we will go back to meet with leader Xu Hai to resume his duties."

The Japanese pirate said a little worriedly.

He was worried that Zhu Pingan was putting on a show, saying that he was going to fight against Wang Zhi in southern Zhejiang, but in fact he did not send troops and deliberately deceived them. When they attacked Jiaxing and Zhang Jing, Zhu Pingan would lead the Zhejiang army to disrupt the situation again.

As long as Zhu Pingan does not send troops for a day, then his talk about going to fight Wang Zhi cannot be taken seriously. Only when he sees Zhu Pingan leading the Zhejiang army to send troops, can he truly say that he wants to fight Wang Zhi.

"What you said makes sense. The little thief Zhu Pingan is too treacherous. We have suffered losses at his hands more than once. We saw with our own eyes that the little thief Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang army to send troops to southern Zhejiang. Let's go back and attack Xu

Let Haitou lead his life back, so that everything will be safe."

The Japanese pirates' fellow pirates were convinced and agreed with their companion's suggestion.

They had suffered too many losses from Zhu Pingan and had already developed a psychological shadow towards him. They had to see Zhu Pingan send troops to southern Zhejiang to feel at ease.
