Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1481 No worries despite defeat

  There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The content of the two Tang newspapers spread quickly, first in Yingtian's official circle, and then quickly spread to the people, causing people to discuss and create an uproar.

"Wuhu Imperial Envoy Shuai Shan made Qianhu Zengji and Jianyang Wei Miaoyin and other three thousand allied troops to surround and attack the Japanese pirates in Shangyu. Because Jianyang Wei Miaoyin and others were defeated first, their morale was greatly reduced. The battle was defeated, and the Japanese pirates drove the defeated army to attack Zeng Ji's headquarters, which caused chaos in Zeng Ji's headquarters. Under the cover of the Japanese pirates, the coalition forces were defeated for thousands of miles. Only the Wuhu County Prime Minister Chen Yidao's troops did not flee, and Chen Yidao died on the spot. , most of Chen Yidao's troops were killed and injured. Fifty-seven Japanese pirates brought their victories and chased them into Wuhu and set fire to the south bank of Wuhu Lake. Covering the sky and blocking out the sun, it swept across several miles like a demon born.

  Amidst the flames and black smoke, the Japanese pirates suddenly crossed the north bank of Wuhu Lake and went straight to Wuhu County. Fortunately, Wuhu County was already in a state of war, and the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates were discovered in time. At the critical moment, before the Japanese pirates entered the city, they cut off the moat bridge and closed the city gate for defense. The Japanese pirates fell short, and wandered around the city for a long time in resentment, but retreated helplessly, burned, killed and looted outside the city, and retreated without a trace."

  In a restaurant facing the street, a storyteller was surrounded by crowds, with a platter of fruits and vegetables, tea and snacks in front of him, and holding a folding fan, he told the contents of the two Tang newspapers to the audience with emotion.

  The content of the Tang newspaper shocked everyone's attention.

   "What?! Lost?! Still a big defeat!!"

   "Three thousand coalition troops, not three thousand pigs, how can you say that you are defeated, you will be defeated. If you say it is three thousand pigs, it will not be like this."

   "These dozens of Japanese pirates are all three-headed and six-armed, invulnerable?! Why are they so fierce?!"

   "If Wuhu County hadn't closed the city gates urgently, maybe the people in the city would be in bad luck."

  Everyone never expected that the 3,000 allied forces would deliberately defeat and lure Japanese pirates into the siege, encircle the north and south, attack the Japanese pirates front and back, and operate fiercely like a tiger, but in the end it was such a result.

   Lost so fast!

   Still a big defeat! The army was defeated like a mountain, and the army was defeated! The only Dangtu county magistrate Chen Yiyi who survived the battle died on the spot, and the rest collapsed thousands of miles away! Being chased and killed by Japanese pirates together, I don't know how many soldiers and horses died!

   "Ahem, at this moment, why did I remember the emergency military situation of Master Zhu Pingan, the 'Zhao Kuo in the present age'? You said, this Japanese pirate will not come back to attack our Yingtian City as he said, right?"

   A diner in the restaurant couldn't help but speak out in worry.

  Hearing that dozens of Japanese pirates had beaten the 3,000 coalition army to pieces, he couldn't help but think of Zhu Ping'an's urgent military situation.

  The voice of this diner was not loud, but it was clear enough. His voice fell behind. It seemed that the pause button had been pressed in the whole restaurant. People stopped eating and drinking, and the whole restaurant fell silent.

   It took a full second or two before a voice sounded.

   "Are you kidding, how is it possible, our Yingtian City is not those small county towns, how dare Japanese pirates"

Then another handsome man stood up. He was very expressive, and he cupped his hands around. After attracting everyone's attention, he made a long speech with a loud voice: "That's right, don't worry about it. There is a brother-in-law who works as a servant in the yamen of the Ministry of War. He has known about this pond newspaper for a long time, and he has also heard discussions from the masters of the Ministry of War, saying that the emergency military situation of "Zhao Kuo in the present age" is simply impossible. First, our Ying Tiancheng is not The former Forbidden City of the capital is now the accompanying capital, which is comparable to a small county. Our Taizu used to "build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king". The wall is tens of meters high! Dozens of Wuhu counties piled up together are not comparable to our half of Yingtian City. You listened to Mr. Tangbao, did you not listen carefully? Once it is broken and the city gate is closed, the little pirate will have nothing to do, he can only retreat, let alone our Yingtian City, we should close the gate of the city, the little pirate can only stare blankly, there is nothing he can do. Second Ah, hehe, you still haven’t listened carefully to Mr. Tang Bao. Although the Three Thousand Allied Forces were defeated, it was not without any achievements. Although the Japanese pirates in Shangyu won, they were not without any losses. At this time, the Japanese pirates in Shangyu It is also the end of the mountain. Before the war, they still had about 80 people. After the war, when they attacked Wuhu County, there were only fifty-seven Japanese pirates left. Hehe, fifty-seven Japanese pirates, they came to the sky Enough for what? To tickle us?"

  His voice fell behind, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, yes, what are fifty-seven Japanese pirates going to do? We should be tens of miles away, and there are thirteen Guangnei gates. If fifty-seven Japanese pirates are scattered, a city gate will be divided into four." One and a half Japanese pirates. Four and a half Japanese pirates attacking a city gate, hahaha, that's really not enough to scratch an itch."

"Let me just say, the 3,000 coalition army is not 3,000 pigs, as expected, they still killed 20 or 30 Japanese pirates. The 3,000 country coalition forces can achieve this result, and we Yingtian have a full hundred thousand regular soldiers. Yes, in terms of combat power, there are at least a hundred 3,000 allied forces, and these Japanese pirates are really not enough."

   "There are few Japanese pirates, so there is nothing to worry about."

   "'Today Zhao Kuo' wants to wash away the shame, and this is not enough for Japanese pirates. Hehehe, let’s stop thinking about it. We should drink and drink, and we should eat vegetables. Even if the sky falls, it will not hit us Yingtian"

  The restaurant quickly returned to bustling. People forgot about the news of the Japanese pirates, drinking and eating vegetables, laughing and talking as usual.

  It is said that the eyes of the masses are discerning, and as far as this matter is concerned, it is true. The folk arguments are almost the same as the arguments in the officialdom.

The argument in the officialdom is generally the same. Although the three thousand coalition forces were defeated, they still achieved results. There are only fifty-seven Japanese pirates left in the 80s. The remaining Japanese pirates are no longer a concern. Wuhu County A small county town closed its city gate, and the Japanese pirates had nothing to do with it, let alone Yingtian.

   Of course, not everyone is like this.

  After Hu Zongxian heard the two Tang newspapers, he pondered for a moment, ordered his horses to be prepared, and rushed to the "Zhenwei Camp" of Yingtianwai Guojing Camp.

  Zhenwei Camp is the outermost camp of Yingtian.

  As soon as Hu Zongxian arrived at Zhenwei Camp, he ordered Zhenwei Camp to prepare for first-level combat preparations and prepare the army for war. Everyone in Zhenwei camp didn't think so, but Hu Zongxian took out his identity as the inspector and censor.
