Chapter 2037 Urgent emergency
"Urgent report, General Li Fengshi led 3,000 Shandong spearmen to rescue Jiangyin County Magistrate Jiang who was besieged in the county government office, and then joined Jiang's troops to go out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the Japanese pirates at the Kudi River Bridge. The 3,000 Shandong spearmen were almost wiped out, and only more than 300 people escaped. Deputy General Guo Tianzhen, Captain Zhang Cunxu, and Captain Wang Zhimian died on the spot. General Li Fengshi was seriously injured, but he risked his life to lead Jiang to break through the siege. When the breakout was successful, Jiang was shot in the back and fell into a coma. His life or death is unknown. The Japanese pirates took advantage of the victory to occupy Jiangyin County again. The people of Jiangyin County fell into the hands of the Japanese pirates twice in one day."
Zhu Ping'an received an urgent report from the Zhejiang Army's scouts in the evening. The Japanese incident in Jiangyin County was full of twists and turns, with the Japanese pirates breaking into the city, reinforcements retaking it, reinforcements pursuing it, the entire army being annihilated, and then it fell again. It was truly a pity.
Poor people of Jiangyin, they fell into the hands of Japanese pirates twice in one day. How desperate they were.
And there are the three thousand Shandong spearmen.
Governor Zhang Fei used all his strength to transfer a total of 6,000 Shandong spearmen from Shandong. In this battle, nearly half of them were killed.
Governor Zhang must be very angry.
Just a few days ago, Governor Zhang gave the order that the generals Li Fengshi, Yu Dayou and others who received the foreign troops would not have the power to command and mobilize them. If they wanted to mobilize them, they had to ask Zhang Jing for instructions and could only mobilize them after obtaining Zhang Jing's permission.
Li Fengshi led his 3,000 Shandong spearmen to rescue Jiangyin County, which was definitely not an order from Zhang Jing.
Zhu Ping'an knew clearly that the order Zhang Jing gave to Li Fengshi and others was to train the troops, to familiarize themselves with the incoming foreign soldiers as quickly as possible, to intensify training and joint training, and to get them well integrated as soon as possible so that they could take on the important task of destroying the Japanese pirates.
Zhang Jing had already formulated a Gengshi plan to wipe out Xu Hai's Japanese troops. He was just waiting for the Shandong spearmen and Guangxi wolf soldiers to work together before he would implement the plan. Therefore, at this critical moment, Zhang Jing would definitely not send Li Fengshi to rescue Jiangyin County.
So, if Li Fengshi's decision to rescue Jiangyin County was not made on his own (99% of the time it was not made on his own), then it was the Governor of Nanzhili, Tu Dashan, who gave the order to Li Fengshi without Zhang Jing's knowledge.
Zhu Ping'an remembered that some time ago, when Zhang Jing was anxious to hold a meeting with governors and generals from all over the country, Li Fengshi was sitting behind Tu Dashan, and the two were whispering. Later he checked and found out that Tu Dashan was Li Fengshi's old leader. When Tu Dashan was governor, Li Fengshi was under him.
Because of this relationship, Tu Dashan was able to command and mobilize Li Fengshi's army without Zhang Jing's knowledge.
However, no one expected that this time the mobilization and command to rescue Jiangyin County would suffer such a disastrous defeat. Not only was Jiangyin County occupied by Japanese pirates again, but the 3,000 Shandong spearmen were almost completely lost.
After this defeat, Tu Dashan, the governor of Southern Zhili, will probably have trouble sleeping.
Governor Zhang Jing will be very angry and will definitely punish those responsible. Zhao Wenhua will definitely not miss this opportunity to make something of himself and will definitely take advantage of it.
However, this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that after this defeat, the Japanese invasion in Southern Zhili will become more rampant and lawless. The common people will suffer.
"Ugh"
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
Not only Nanzhili, with this great victory, the Japanese pirates will definitely take more actions, and they may also attack Zhejiang.
Zhang Jing is in charge of Jiaxing Prefecture, which has sufficient soldiers and generals, so the Japanese pirates should not try to provoke them; but Jiaxing Prefecture also has county towns such as Jiashan, Pinghu, Tongxiang, Haiyan, and Haining, as well as numerous villages and towns.
There is also the wealthy Hangzhou Prefecture, as well as Shaoxing Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture, which are close to the sea and convenient for Japanese pirates to attack.
There are too many places that need to be defended, but there are too few soldiers available. The 10,000 newly recruited soldiers have only been trained for a week, and their level is not even as good as that of the military training. They are not even good enough to go to the battlefield.
If the thief can be a thief for a thousand days, how can he be on guard against thieves for a thousand days? If the 10,000 new recruits of the Zhejiang Army can be trained well, I will have the idea of leading the army to attack Huanglong.
"Let's go to the military camp and see how the new recruits are training and how long it will take for them to be ready for use." Zhu Ping'an couldn't sit still when he thought about the new recruits. He got up and went out to the military camp to see how the Zhejiang Army's training was going and to see what level the new recruits had reached.
Zhu Ping'an had not yet walked out of the yamen and walked to the front yard when he saw Liu Mu walking hurriedly with two masked thin civilians.
"Sir, two common people said that there is an extremely urgent situation and they need to report it to you urgently."
When Liu Mu saw Zhu Ping'an was about to go out, he quickened his pace to report.
"We have an emergency to report to the Zhejiang Governor, Mr. Zhu. We won't tell anyone else except Mr. Zhu."
The two common people were very alert. They had made up their minds not to tell anyone except Zhu Ping'an.
"I am Zhu Ping'an, the governor of Zhejiang Province. This is my badge. If you have any important matters, you can tell me."
Zhu Ping'an said this gently, and took out his badge to prove his identity to the two ordinary people.
"Sir Zhu, it's really Sir Zhu. We have an emergency to report and can only tell you, Sir." The two common people believed Zhu Ping'an's identity and spoke excitedly and nervously. As they spoke, they looked at Liu Mu. They were wary of Liu Mu.
"I want to protect you. The Japanese pirates have tried to assassinate you many times. I will never give them a chance."
Liu Mu said to the two of them.
A gentleman does not build walls, and Zhu Ping'an would not joke with his own life. Seeing that the two common people insisted on speaking only to him, he silently recited "bring honor to the family" in his heart and raised his head to see the fortune above the two men's heads.
I saw white pillars of luck floating above the heads of the two people in my sight.
"It's okay, Brother Mu, I believe they have no ill intentions. Please step back and stand guard to the side, and don't let others get close."
When Zhu Ping'an saw the color of the aura above the two people's heads, he spoke to Liu Mu with confidence.
This is one of the uses of luck developed by Zhu Ping'an, which is almost equivalent to a radar. The color of the luck can be used to distinguish whether there is malicious intent to kill. Both of them have white civilian luck and no other colors, which shows that they have no malicious intent.
This is much more reliable than smart security checks. If Qin Shi Huang had this, Jing Ke would be arrested before he could even present a map.
"Sir, although they have proof of ten-household registration, we cannot rule out the possibility that they are secretly communicating with the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates have tried to assassinate you many times. It is too dangerous to leave them alone with you."
Liu Mu said worriedly.
"How about this, search their bodies to see if they are carrying any weapons, then you can rest assured."
Zhu Ping'an compromised.
The two ordinary people nodded in agreement. Liu Mu thought for a few seconds and also nodded in agreement.
