Chapter 177: Homecoming Visit
Walking out of the lobby, Father Zhao said to Mao Yulong: "There must be no war tonight, Lao Li and I will go back to our posts, you go home to have a look, and at the same time bring a letter to your aunt, just say that I am safe." β
Mao Yulong agreed, and then the two sides broke up, and Mao Yulong walked towards his home.
There was a calm here, there was no imaginary chaos, and when I first walked into the alley, a few men came out of the corner, holding sticks in their hands, and asked in a low voice: "Who?" What the hell. β
Mao Yulong smiled with relief, it seems that his area is still on guard, which is to prevent small people who take advantage of the chaos to rob. So he raised his voice and replied: "I, Mao Yulong." β
Hearing such an answer, several people let out a burst of cheers: "Xiao Xiu is back, Xiao Xiu is back." Then there was a rush of footsteps behind him, but it was Li Zheng in his clothes.
As soon as Li Zheng saw Mao Yulong, he grabbed his hand, pulled him in to the makeshift room, and then pressed him on the bench: "You are back, everyone is worried about death, hurry up and tell me how the battle is ahead?" I've heard about it, not about it, but I've seen it outside, and it says that there are 30,000 Japanese in the siege, is there really so many? Can this Hangzhou city be defended? β
In order to attack those rumors that catch the wind and shadows, Mao Yulong demanded that the news released outside the account must be true, and there must be no falsehood. Only with the most authentic things can we break those things that are false. Therefore, the information on the outside is the most accurate and true, for example, the number of enemies announced is not exaggerated or reduced at all, and the purpose is to let everyone know.
looked around first: "What about San'er?" β
Li Zheng hurriedly replied: "In the afternoon, Daddy sent someone over and asked San'er to bring 300 of our men and your clansmen to form 300 Xiangyong, and go to Daddy to report, what is it called the guard battalion." β
"This thing is proposed by me, as the so-called war brothers go into battle father and son soldiers, my father and I are both people here, and we need a group of brothers to help us, everyone has no objection, right?"
"No, no, the messenger said so, and told everyone that the reward for those of our past is doubled. Not to mention this income, I don't know how to say it. Besides, if it weren't for the last time when the war was in turmoil, your little minister took out his own rice grain, and Zhao's father and son led the team and led everyone to protect this homeland, and now maybe everyone would have been ruined like other neighborhoods, so they were all very happy. It's just that this neighborhood of ours also needs to be protected, so we arranged the defense here, and when this place is settled, San'er took them over. Didn't you run into them halfway through? β
Mao Yulong replied reassuringly: "There are thousands of streets leading to Nancheng, and it is difficult to meet them, plus I went to the yamen to hold a celebration banquet, and both sides missed it, but as long as our 300 children go, my father and I will be relieved." β
"To be able to participate in the celebration banquet of the town guard yamen, what a face, when you have spare time, you have to talk to me well, let me open my eyes." Li Zheng is envious, don't want it.
I didn't feel the celebration banquet myself at all, how can I say that the glory here? So Mao Yulong pulled the topic back: "How did we arrange this piece?" β
Li Zheng hurriedly replied, more like a report: "San'er took away 300 children, and we still have 100 here, but as long as the city wall is not broken, we will be safe here, and the only thing to guard against now is that it is this one who took advantage of the fire to rob, so I divided the work with the patriarch of your family, and divided these 100 people into two groups, I am responsible for the night, and your patriarch is responsible for the day, to maintain the safety of this area." β
"This time, the patriarch of my family didn't have anything to do again."
"No, no, with the lessons of the last time, everyone has seen the truth in the middle, the two sides should help each other, and what to do is the land and the outsider, all of them have been on this piece of land for hundreds of years, and they should be a family." Then he summed up with a gratifying face: "Tribulation sees people's hearts, no, after these two great disasters that have not been seen for hundreds of years, this time this neighborhood has really become a family, and there is no longer a quarrel over trivial things because it is a land-sitting household and a foreigner, and it is much easier for me to be a legitimate one." β
Mao Yulong got such a result, and he breathed a sigh of relief, the ethnic groups that had not fused for hundreds of years and conflicted with each other finally merged into one through these two great tribulations, which was the most gratifying.
"By the way, Xiao Xianggong, you tell me, I asked you about it just now, see if we can really keep these family businesses? It's good that I have a bottom in my heart, otherwise I'd have made arrangements early. I have experienced the ferocity of the Japanese Bandits, and it is really that there are no chickens and dogs left everywhere I go, and I have to weigh and leave some incense roots and seedlings for each family. β
Mao Yulong said with a relaxed face: "The news outside the number is accurate, and there are indeed 30,000 enemies. Hearing this accurate number, Li Zheng and the villagers around Mao Yulong couldn't help but gasp, and their faces became unpleasant.
"But don't look at the number of enemies, they will definitely not do anything about Hangzhou City." Then he crossed his fingers and settled the accounts for the villagers: "It is true that there are 30,000 Japanese pirates, but we have 35,000 people, which is much higher than them in number." However, the Wako were tired from afar, and there was no material replenishment at all, and they consumed a little less outside. Although they may also loot the surrounding villages, they can only get grain, but at this time, the summer grain has been sold, the autumn grain is not yet ripe, and the stock of each household is limited, so they can't get much at all. But even if they get some, they can't replenish it in ordnance. As a result, their food will run out sooner or later, and their lost ordnance will have no place to replenish, and they can only rely on attacking our Hangzhou City with their bare hands, and it is impossible to help us at all. And what about us? The food stored in the city was piled up, and the armory was even more stocked. Even if there is a shortage, with the huge group of workshops in our city, we can create a supplement in the blink of an eye. We still have the tall walls to rely on, as long as it takes him 10 days and half a month, even if we can't defeat them, they must withdraw, otherwise they will starve to death. β
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"But the most important thing is that there are 30,000 Japanese robbers, one less one killed in battle, there is no endless follow-up troops to reinforce them, and we rely on millions of people in the city, as long as we are united, the enemy has no chance of winning at all, robbers are robbers after all, I think that the Mongolian army attacked this Hangzhou, and it was attacked for more than a year, if it wasn't for the little traitor who pleaded the emperor to surrender, this Hangzhou city would not be able to be breached at all, as long as there is no civil strife, as long as we are not panicked, this Hangzhou city is impregnable."
Such a reasoned and evidence-based analysis puts everyone's hearts at ease.
Mao Yulong stood up: "I'll go home this time to see, time is very tight, I have to go back to see my mother and sister, everyone, let's see you again." β
Everyone gratefully sent Mao Yulong.
As a result, just as he was about to lift his feet and walk, there was a rush of running sound outside the alley, and several men immediately picked up wooden sticks and went out to intercept them, but a panting man asked anxiously: "Is Xiaoxiu here?" β
Mao Yulong hurriedly responded: "It's here, it's here." β
As a result, the man said anxiously: "The enemy situation outside the city has changed, and Dad asked you to rush back immediately." Then he was not allowed to speak, but he picked him up and ran back.
Mao Yulong ran along, and turned his head to look at his home, where there were lights reflected, just in front of him, but he couldn't go home. WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
