The rise of the poor

Chapter 1134 It is better to leave
At the time of Chou, the night was quiet and the birds were silent. Zhu Ping'an was still writing official documents at his desk in the study.

When Zhu Ping'an swung his brush at his desk, Taiping County, sixty miles away from Jingnan County, was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

This group of Japanese pirates was the bloody Hei Hachiro and his Japanese pirates who met in Jingnan County.

The leader of the Hungry Wolf League, Jiangmen, divided Hei Hachiro into two counties, Jingnan and Taiping.Heihachiro had no choice but to give up Jingnan, a difficult bone to crack, after he was beaten badly in Jingnan County, and instead led the remaining more than 1000 Japanese remnants under his command to rush to Taiping County.

Taiping County is in the northwest of Jingnan County. The two counties are neighbors, and the distance is not far away. The distance between the two counties is only sixty or seventy miles.The news that the Japanese pirates burned, killed, looted and besieged Jingnan county town reached Taiping within half a day.Everyone in Taiping County not only sympathized with the tragic experience of the old neighbors, but also thanked themselves, thankfully, Taiping County is not close to the sea, otherwise they would be the ones suffering from the Japanese pirates today.

Of course, after hearing the news of the Japanese pirates in Jingnan, panic also arose in Taiping County, but the panic was not too serious.

After all, the Japanese pirates are now in Jingnan.It is fellow Taoists who suffer, not poor Taoists.

As for whether the Japanese pirates came to Taiping County, there are two opinions. Our Taiping County is not close to the sea, and the number of encounters with Japanese pirates is very small. This time, the Japanese pirates are probably the same as before. They robbed Jingnan and other counties along the coast. Hu Yuan fled overseas.

In addition, even if the Japanese pirates come to Taiping County, we still have time to prepare. The Japanese pirates are now besieging Jingnan County, and it will take time to break through Jingnan County. Two days.

Therefore, under this psychological effect, the panic in Taiping County is not too serious. Although some people hurriedly packed up their things and fled with their children and children after hearing the news that the Japanese pirates had robbed Jingnan, most of them People are still calm, wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to inquire about the news, and then it will not be too late to pack up and escape.

In fact, not only the common people, but even the Taiping county government did not attach great importance to it immediately.

After receiving the news of Japanese pirates looting Jingnan, the Taiping County Government also started to take precautions. It issued a notice to inform the Japanese invaders in Jingnan, and informed the people in the area to beware of Japanese pirates. The guards in the county town raised their vigilance and took good precautions. They sent people to notify and recruit the Minzhuang and archers under the jurisdiction of Taiping County Yabingfang to go back to the county town to guard against Japanese pirates...

However, although Taiping County has also taken some actions, it has not paid enough attention to it and failed to supervise and implement it in time.

Everyone in Taiping County never expected the Japanese pirates to come so quickly.

Taiping County, which was half tight but not tight, half loose and not loose, and half-defensive, half-prepared, suffered a catastrophe all of a sudden.

When Heihachiro and his gang of Japanese pirates were beaten to death in Jingnan, they retreated from Jingnan overnight and turned to Taiping County, Taiping County was still asleep, and was caught off guard by the criminal Japanese pirates.

Blood!

struggle!

despair!

cry!

As soon as they stepped into Taiping County and encountered the first village, the Japanese pirates burned, killed, looted, invaded women, and committed all kinds of crimes. They vented their injuries and bad luck in Jingnan in Taiping County even more.

One village after another was ruined by Japanese pirates and burned into a sea of ​​flames, miserable like hell on earth...

Before Taiping County could react, Heihachiro had already led Japanese pirates to break through the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Taiping County one after another, heading straight for Taiping County, burning, killing and looting all the way, ruining women and children, robbing money, food and grass, and burning houses.

As the sky was bright, the Japanese pirates had already burned, killed and looted all the way, driving and coercing more than a thousand young and strong people with butcher knives, and approached the city of Taiping County, and surrounded it.

The then county magistrate of Taiping County was named Wang Fengming, styled Suqing, from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and he was 47 years old.When the Japanese soldiers were approaching the city, Wang Zhixian was eating breakfast. When he heard the Japanese soldiers approaching the city, his chopsticks fell to the ground.

"It's nonsense! When the news came yesterday, the Japanese pirates were still besieging Jingnan County. How could they come to Taiping County?!"

After Wang Zhixian recovered from the shock, his first reaction was that his subordinates lied about the military situation, slammed the table hard, and reprimanded him.

"Xianzun, how dare you dare to talk nonsense in front of your old man? It's really Japanese soldiers coming to the city. If you don't believe me, come out and listen to the county lord."

The messenger who reported the letter shook his head repeatedly, pointed to the outside of the house and said to Wang Zhixian.

Wang Zhixian took a look at the guard and saw that the guard didn't look like a liar. Just like she said, he didn't dare to lie in front of him, so he got up and left the table.The guard hurriedly took two steps to help Wang Zhixian open the curtain. Wang Zhixian walked out and walked to the center of the courtyard. Sure enough, there was a faint sound of shouting outside.

Hearing this, Wang Zhixian's pupils dilated instantly, his face turned gray, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

"Damn it, why did the Japanese pirates come suddenly? Hurry up, tell Xiahou County Chancellor, call all the yamen servants to go up the city wall with me!"

Wang Zhixian walked around in the courtyard like ants in a hot pot several times, finally gritted his teeth, and ordered loudly to the guard.

"Xianzun, when I came to report the letter, I heard that Xiahou County Prime Minister had rushed to the city wall as soon as he got the news." The guard replied.

"Then quickly go and summon the guards, and none of them will be lost. Gather all of them and follow me to the city wall."

When Wangzhi County heard that Xiahou County Prime Minister had rushed to the city wall, he nodded and hurriedly ordered the servants to summon the yamen servants.

Soon, Wang Zhixian led more than 80 government servants hastily summoned to the city wall of Taiping County.

On the city wall, the Xiahou county magistrate was arranging defenses, and scattered 86 soldiers stationed in the county guard station, as well as 120 and eight civilian strongmen and archers under the jurisdiction of the summoned military room, on the four walls.

"I have seen the county magistrate."

After hearing the news, the Xiahou county magistrate rushed to the steps of the city wall to meet Wang magistrate.

"Xiahou County Prime Minister doesn't need to be polite, how is the situation outside the city?" Wang Zhixian waved his hand and asked.

"There are more than 1000 Japanese pirates, and they kidnapped more than 1000 people and surrounded my Taiping County."

Xiahou county magistrate cupped his hands and replied.

"What, more than 2000?!"

When Wang Zhixian heard this, his pale face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled a little.

"Half of them are coerced people." Xiahou County Cheng corrected.

"More than 1000 Japanese pirates are no small matter. Besides, many of the Japanese pirates themselves were transformed by ordinary people."

Wang Zhixian shook his head, walked quickly two steps, came to the crenellation of the wall, and looked out.

I saw the smoke and dust billowing outside, and the Japanese pirates with black heads and feet were full of murderous looks, with ferocious faces, and the Japanese knives and other weapons in their hands were still dripping with blood. The Japanese pirates were everywhere outside the city.

The ferocious Japanese pirates surrounded the county town, wailing and howling, and the sound of killing was deafening.

"The Japanese pirates are powerful, and Taiping County is difficult to defend. It is better to abandon the city and leave."

With a pale face, Wang Zhixian looked away from the Japanese pirates outside the city, swept his side, shook his head, and whispered to Xiahou County Prime Minister.
