Chapter 142: Giving Advice
When the county commander and the eunuch of the prison army were at a stalemate, he carried Mao Yulong's soap and said: "Mao Xiucai is here." Immediately diverted everyone's attention, and when they turned their heads to look, was it Mao Yulong who was carried on his back? So everyone rushed out like a swarm and surrounded Mao Yulong at once. Mao Yulong looked at this formation, and could only cry and laugh at that time.
Here, the people in charge of the whole Qiantang and the army are helpless, what can you do if you let me be a showman who is about to starve to death?
Before he could catch his breath, Huang Xianzun and the eunuch of the prison army squeezed in front of him and asked eagerly: "Sir, the Japanese are three miles away from the city, and it can be said that the soldiers are coming to the city, so quickly think of a way to come out and save the emergency." ”
Mao Yulong opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, not because he was carried away by this huge attention, and his head didn't turn, but he really didn't know where to start.
"Lord Prefectural." Mao Yulong swallowed his saliva first, so that his stomach no longer gurgled, although this saliva made him feel hungry even more.
"Sir, please." Huang Xian Ling rarely put down a little posture towards this guy under his rule, that is, a little gesture.
"How many troops are there outside the city?" Since you are here, you have to ask clearly, and then make a basis for your own arrangement at home, but you know that in this Ming Dynasty, in the face of the Japanese Invaders, there are often only a few hundred, which can make thousands of Ming troops flee from the wind, and exaggeration is already a necessary means for the Ming officialdom to prevaricate its mistakes.
"How much?" The county was very confused, and then looked at the criminal master who was crowded behind him, in fact, he is not a professional in this area, but, as the criminal master, he is closely connected with the local area, and the news is also the most well-informed.
When the criminal master saw his proprietor looking at him, he stammered and didn't know what to say.
"No, I don't even know how many pirates there are outside the city, and it starts to be a mess here, and the officials blame each other and start to let the people flee, and the merchants are panicking, which is too unreliable.
"Do the Wokos have siege equipment?" Mao Yulong asked again.
The Qiantang city wall is tall, and in the early years, in order to prevent the invasion of the Japanese invaders crossing the sea, it has undergone several major repairs.
According to common sense, the Japanese are just a group of bandits, who come across the sea, and it is impossible to carry large equipment, if you want to use dozens of ladders to climb up to the city, there are not too many, as long as hundreds of guards are there, Qiantang will be foolproof.
"This." The county lord looked at the miscellaneous master again, and this time, it was the turn of the miscellaneous master who was dumbfounded.
"I only take care of the miscellaneous expenses in the county office, and I can settle the accounts, I really don't know the rest." The miscellaneous master answered the question of the county honorable, although this answer is absolutely incorrect.
Mao Yulong was a little confused, hunger was one thing, the most important thing was the situation in front of him.
"Do you have any follow-up reinforcements?" When he asked this question again, Mao Yulong had no confidence, because he saw that the eyes of the county lord were looking at Master Qianliang.
Master Qian Liang immediately strode back, and then said in a resolute tone: "I don't know. ”
The answer was resolutely affirmative, so that Mao Yulong absolutely believed that this was the most standard answer.
The enemy situation is not clear at all, not to mention that he is a talent, even if Zhuge Liang is alive, he is at a loss.
"And how many soldiers do we have?" Forget it, I'd better ask Daddy Zhao to go, I guess everyone here doesn't know.
That time, I heard Daddy Zhao say that the original nine battalions totaled 9,000 soldiers, but the actual number was 4,000, and after Daddy Zhao took over the barracks, he did not make up the original number. It is estimated that there are only 3,000 left. But now the defense of the entire Hangzhou City is counting on these 3,000 people, and it is a drop in the bucket to distribute them to Qiantang. Even if Zhuge Liang sings the empty city plan, then there are three hundred veterans behind him, these three hundred veterans don't have it, how can they sing the empty city plan? Wait, empty city? That's right, the rhetoric of the empty city plan is a bluff, why did you forget about this stubble?
"Lord County, the situation is urgent, does Lord County have the right to sign Ding?" Mao Yulong looked at Huang Xianling with bright eyes. This is critical.
"yes." At this time, Huang Xianling was reminded by Mao Yulong and suddenly realized, how could he forget this stubble?
Mao Yulong's sweat came down, didn't he, didn't this county even know this? Could it be that he, the county honor, is a wine bag and a rice bag?
In fact, this is Mao Yulong's misunderstanding of the Huang County Order, this Ming County Order is all obtained from the eight shares, and the discussion of the words of the sage can be described as the head, a group of literati together, if each sentence does not bring a few sentences of poetry, it seems that it is not human words. But for governing the local government and administering government affairs, it is simply ignorant, or the county government will hire a group of masters out of their own pockets to do something? In later generations, everyone saw that the interrogation cases were all county respects, and then the head of the Ming law was the Tao, which was actually taken for granted.
Fortunately, such as Qiantang, there are villagers who are dealing with some trivial matters, and there is a group of masters to deal with government affairs, and major events are taken care of by the governor and prefect, this county order is just to boil some qualifications, sit back and enjoy its success, like this is just an accident, the county order only cares about fighting with the eunuch of the prison army, where did you think of these?
"Since you can sign Ding, I think there are no less than 500,000 people in our Hangzhou City {it is said to be one million in history}, and there should be more than 100,000 under the jurisdiction of our Qiantang, and it is not a problem to sign 5,000." Mao Yulong is a conservative estimate, because the attitude of the area is only one mile, and as soon as he ascends to the heights, the neighbors and clansmen will organize no less than 500 men, 100,000 Qiantang people, and 10,000 should have. Now that he has this magic weapon in hand, Mao Yulong is full of confidence in the future.
"Yes, yes." This time, the miscellaneous master nodded again and again, the situation in the county town, he is much clearer than the county order, and the signing of five thousand is not a problem at all.
However, at this time, Master Qian Liang stomped his feet with a bitter face.
Mao Yulong didn't look at him, but his confidence increased greatly and said: "This 5,000 is available, in fact, we can also let those big gentry organize the family Ding Nursing Home to come out, so that we can organize a strong army." ”
"Ahh This sound startled everyone, but when they looked at it, it was the county man who clapped his hands continuously, and he was overjoyed. The county is responsible for the local people, and it is also a local snake, and it is very familiar with the situation in the county, Hangzhou, the place where the essence of the Ming Dynasty gathers, the Qiantang side, and two port wharves, although the Ming Dynasty is forbidden to the sea, but it is impossible to stop those gentry and merchants who collude with the government from going to sea to smuggle, during the smuggling period, there is collusion with the sea and the Japanese slaves, but more is also black and black, and raising a group of dead soldiers has also become essential. Therefore, not only the gentry and magnates have more money and food, but also more caretakers and nurses, and organize them, which is a powerful force.
"Since we have so many manpower, we should be able to defend it with our Hangzhou city wall." Mao Yulong asked cautiously.
"Hangzhou has been peaceful for many years, but the city's defense was quite complete when it was against the Japanese invaders, as long as the army and the people are together, there is no problem in holding on to the last ten days and a half." The county chief secretary stood up at that time and supported Mao Yulong's proposal.
Mao Yulong nodded and said: "Ten days and a half months is enough, after all, the Japanese are thieves, and it is impossible to have too much money and food to back up, as long as everyone insists on three or five days, they want to come to the Japanese and go by themselves." Even if the Japanese are fierce, but Hangzhou is the station of the political envoy and the father-in-law of the town, the surrounding places absolutely dare not see death without help, as long as three or five days, at most ten days, the surrounding reinforcements will be gathered, and then Hangzhou will be solved. ”
"Yes, yes, it's still a show of talent and wit, this division does make sense. Sure enough, it's a talent recommended by the prefect.,It's really quick-witted.。 The county leader nodded in agreement.
