The rise of the poor

Chapter 1773
"Feng, Fenghuo? Leader, you said that those are not on fire, but the beacon fire?! Are we exposed?!"

After hearing Xu Hai's words, a group of Japanese pirates couldn't help but froze. Last second, they were imagining the beautiful life of raiding Suzhou City at night, holding silver in sacks, and tying women with hemp rope, but the next second they were told by the leader Xu Hai that Suzhou Fenghuo It ignited, they were exposed, and the whole of Suzhou knew they were coming?!
For a moment, the brains of all the Japanese pirates couldn't take it anymore. One second they were still in a state of excitement before the eruption of the volcano, and the next second they were splashed with ice water, and the brain's cpu was about to explode.

We boarded the ship on the second shift in the middle of the night, arrived at Taicang Haikou by the third shift, and arrived thirty miles before Suzhou City by the fourth shift.

Along the way, we discredited the boat, and another boat hit a rock in the sea, and a dozen or so brothers broke into the sea. How did they get exposed?! How did the people in Suzhou find us? !Damn Suzhou, why have so many beacon towers been set up?! Then what are we who get up early and feel the dark, and stand against the wind and frost?!
Immediately, on the Japanese boat, all the Japanese pirates were dumbfounded like sand sculptures hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

No matter how the Japanese pirates can't figure it out, when the first beacon tower ignited a raging beacon fire, within a cup of tea time, all fifteen beacon towers in Suzhou's jurisdiction were lit with raging beacon fires. Villages and towns with a radius of about [-] miles around Suzhou City all knew the news of the Japanese pirates' arrival.

The crimes committed by Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River are too numerous to write down, and the crimes they have committed are countless, especially the nearby Songjiang Mansion is a living tragedy.The common people all know that Japanese pirates are beasts who kill without blinking an eye. Once they enter the village, they will kill all the men, rob all the women, steal all their money, and burn all their houses.

Therefore, upon hearing the news of the Japanese pirates' arrival, the people of Suzhou Prefecture all helped the old and the young to embark on the road of hiding, and the people who were close to Suzhou City fled to Suzhou City.People far away from Suzhou City hid in Wubao, fields, mountains and forests.

There was a special person in Suzhou City to look out for the beacon tower, and the first time they saw the beacon fire burning in the distance, they were still a little unsure whether it was the beacon fire or someone else's fire.

However, soon the second burning flame ignited. This beacon was closer, and the flames could be seen soaring into the sky.

Fires were ignited in the direction of the two beacon towers, and there was no doubt that there was no doubt that the beacon fires were regularly warning.

The person on duty at night knew the seriousness of the matter, and quickly shouted to warn, "The Japanese pirates are coming, the Japanese pirates are coming, close the city gate quickly."

As soon as they heard the Japanese pirates coming, the defenders of Suzhou City suddenly fell into a panic. Fortunately, the Japanese pirates were still [-] or [-] miles away, so they would not fall. He hurriedly closed the city gate.

"Fortunately, there was a warning signal from Zihou. Otherwise, with these wine bags and rice bags, the Japanese pirates killed the government office, and they haven't closed the door yet."

Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou who rushed over after hearing the news, saw the scene of the city gate being closed in a panic from a distance, and couldn't help turning black and cursing angrily in his heart.

At the same time, I was very fortunate in my heart. Fortunately, Zhu Ping'an got the rangers and beacon towers, otherwise, with the soldiers of the Suzhou Military Preparedness Division, the sky would collapse. I am afraid that Japanese pirates rushed into his mansion, and the city of Suzhou would be destroyed. Haven't reacted yet.

"Fu Zun, you are here." The guards at the city gate hurried forward to salute when they saw the magistrate Shang Wei coming.

"Well, the war is starting, the Japanese pirates are coming, you all cheer up, don't let the Japanese pirates take advantage of it." The prefect of Suzhou knew that it was not the time to get angry, and they had to rely on them to defend the city, so he nodded amiably.

"Yes." The guards nodded repeatedly.

"Soldiers, our salaries and salaries are issued by the imperial court, but in the final analysis, they all come from the common people, and they are all the people's anointing. Therefore, the common people are our food and clothing parents. Now, there are hundreds of thousands of us food and clothing parents in the city. We must stick to the city of Suzhou, not to teach the Japanese pirates to step into the city, and not to teach the Japanese pirates to harm a parent who needs food and clothing! This is the time to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a short time!"

The prefect of Suzhou pointed to the inside of the city, and said to the guards with a serious face.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will stick to Suzhou City and never let a Japanese pirate enter the city." A group of guards declared their position loudly.

"Very well, it's not easy for you officers and soldiers. Guard the city and wait for the Japanese pirates to retreat. Each person will receive an extra ten taels of silver. I mean what I say, but if there is a guard who doesn't receive the ten taels of salary, I'm the only one asking!"

The magistrate of Suzhou still kept his promise to the guards that there must be brave men under great rewards. This is an ancient and unchanging truth.

"Thank you, my lord. We will defend Suzhou City to the death, fight to the end, defend Suzhou City, and don't teach Japanese pirates to step into the city!"

A group of guards screamed louder, louder and more sincerely than before, stimulated by the huge reward of ten taels of silver.

"Master Hou, send another [-] reinforcements to each city gate. They must be strong and elite. The city gates are related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou City. There is no order from the official. Except for the defenders, the rest of the people are waiting for you. , not to come within [-] meters of the city gate, and those who violate it will be warned first and told to leave, if they persist in their obsession, I will give you the right to kill first and then act later. At critical times, there is no room for mercy!"

The prefect of Suzhou turned his head, and gave orders to the military master who followed behind him with a serious face.

"Obey." The chief waiter accepted the order with his hands, and trotted down to make arrangements.

The Japanese pirates came, this is not a trivial matter, the gang of Japanese pirates in Songjiang Mansion had conquered several counties, and almost the entire territory of Songjiang Mansion fell.I heard that this group of Japanese pirates used the gold, silver, jewelry, and food looted in Songjiang Mansion to recruit troops. The Japanese pirate team has not doubled or tripled, and its strength has expanded to 5 to [-] people.

There are [-] to [-] Japanese pirates, what is the concept? The entire force of Suzhou City plus the guards is only [-] people.

This is also the result of the wise Lord Fu Zun who dispatched a thousand elite soldiers from the local military preparation department a few days ago to assist in defending the city.

Fortunately, there is also the Zhejiang Army under the command of Master Zhu Ping'an outside the city. Although the Zhejiang Army has only 2000 people, but...
The Zhejiang army was stationed at the Fengqiao camp. If the Japanese pirates did not wipe out all the Zhejiang troops outside the city, they would not be able to attack Suzhou City with all their strength.After all, the Zhejiang army was behind, and they always had to worry about being attacked by the enemy. How could they attack Suzhou City with all their strength?

The Zhejiang army has 2000 people, and more than 100 Japanese pirates were killed at the Jihai site some time ago. The combat power is much stronger than the soldiers of the local military preparation department. No matter what, it can buy some buffer time for Suzhou City.

The waiter thought so on the way to arrange reinforcements.

After the city of Suzhou was closed for the first time, there were still many people from outside the city who came with their families and children.

They were all common people with a radius of about ten miles nearby. When they heard the news that the Japanese pirates had killed them, the first thing they thought of was to hide in the city of Suzhou.Suzhou City has a tall and solid city wall, and is guarded by elite soldiers. It is definitely the safest place in Suzhou Prefecture, bar none.As long as you enter Suzhou City, your life will be saved.
