Chapter 148: Conscription for joining the army
There is no need for others to rush, and Mao Yulong is not willing to participate in the kind of dirty things in the county yamen, and the safety of his own family is the first. Hurriedly walking on the way home, but saw a pair of soldiers, rumbling from the street, Daddy Zhao's ninth battalion soldiers entered the city.
Daddy Zhao was standing at the crossroads, and every time he ran past a group of soldiers, Daddy Zhao ordered them to go to a place, so this group of soldiers followed the command, turned a corner and ran over, and came over again, still like this.
Groups of soldiers ran through the streets, making the panicked people who saw them even more panicked, for fear that these soldiers of the ninth battalion would take advantage of the fire to rob like before, after all, the soldiers were not long gone, and everyone still had lingering palpitations. But this time they felt the difference in this army. One by one, the body is no longer weak, the original clothes on the body that are the same as those called Hanako have long been replaced by neat and clean new clothes, and the knives and guns in their hands are no longer rusty, but flashing with cold light, and their spirits are different, and they don't squint. Especially when running, it is no longer a swarm of swarms like before, but the team is neat and sonorous. They did not harass the people along the way as before, but ran to their designated posts with serious expressions and without squinting.
This is the credit of Daddy Zhao in the past six months.
Mao Yulong hurriedly walked over to say hello: "Daddy Zhao, how many have come in this time?" β
As soon as Father Zhao saw that it was Mao Yulong, he handed over the command and dispatch to the deputy, and greeted him after a few words: "Yulong, when is it, you are still running around, now people are panicking, and the street is really unsafe." β
Mao Yulong smiled indifferently: "I was just arrested by the county orderββγ β
At that time, Daddy Zhao's expression changed greatly, and Mao Yulong immediately knew that the joke he said was misunderstood by Daddy Zhao, so he quickly explained: "It was just a joke just now, I was carried over by the county order, and I gave him advice, and finally mixed a lunch, which can be regarded as a slight gain." β
"The county order asked you for advice, he just came to our Qiantang County, how does he know your ability?"
Mao Yulong was a little proud: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, it's not that I was so fierce before, the limelight is too fierce, this is the prefect specially assigned by the county order to find it, and I can only make some efforts for the safety of Hangzhou City." β
"It seems that you made up the signing thing, right? I think that there must be four or five thousand men in our Qiantang area who have already gone to the city, and other counties and districts should do the same, which solves the problem of insufficient troops. β
"How many people did Daddy Zhao bring into the city this time?" Mao Yulong asked this question again.
"After my rectification, the total number of soldiers in the nine battalions is 3,000, and this time I brought them all. But if you want to rely on this mere 3,000 people, you have to defend such a large Hangzhou city, which is a drop in the bucket. In this way, the eunuch also asked me to send 500 people to protect the important yamen, which really made me helpless. β
Mao Yulong asked: "So how is Daddy Zhao going to keep this city?" β
Father Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Now there is only one way to die in front of me, either I will die directly in the city, or the city will be breached, and in the end I will be used as a scapegoat and beheaded for public display." β
Mao Yulong shook his head lightly: "The matter is not so serious, now with these signatories, even if they are a rabble, but the number of people is there, and the county order has also issued a reward, as the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, with money and food and rich rewards, you can make a fuss." Daddy Zhao, have you forgotten that when the army was in turmoil, you took 10 apprentices to form more than 200 volunteers? I see that your soldiers, this section is also trained, there is no problem with 10 of them, then your 3,000 people, you can bring up an army of 30,000 people, although in the face of the fierce and brutal Japanese Bandits, it is not possible to charge into battle, but there is no problem with the defense of the fortified city, as long as the Wolves are blocked outside the city for 10 days, reinforcements from other places around the country will be continuously transferred. After all, this is the place where the political envoys are stationed, and there are eunuchs guarding the town, and the surrounding reinforcements do not dare to be slow, and when the time comes, the siege of Hangzhou can be lifted, and you will not have to worry about your name. β
Father Zhao couldn't help but pat his head when he heard this: "It's really a mistake in the busy, the person concerned is confused, why did I forget this method?" Thanks to Yulong for the reminder, I will do it immediately. β
Mao Yulong thought for a while and said: "3,000 people can replace 30,000 people, there should be no problem in defending this Hangzhou city, but what about the military camp outside?" β
Father Zhao could only smile bitterly: "The eunuchs of the prison army just sent forced me to bring them all in, to protect the safety of the town." But there is no way to do this, anyway, I have such a small number of people, and if I disperse again, it will be even more ineffective. β
Mao Yulong immediately shook his head and denied Father Zhao's idea: "It is also a crime to lose the camp, now there are 30,000 people, if you send 5,000 people to defend a camp, this crime will not be established." At the same time, with these 5,000 people outside, they can form a horn with the city, at least it is a containment for the besieging Japanese invaders, so that he can't attack Hangzhou City with all his strength, so won't it get twice the result with half the effort? β
Daddy Zhao was originally a thousand generals, and he fought in the south and north under the command of Marshal Song, and made many achievements, but Daddy Zhao was just a fierce general, but not a handsome talent, and there was no problem in killing the enemy desperately, but if he was asked to arrange his troops, it would indeed be difficult for him. At this time, after Mao Yulong's suggestion, he suddenly understood, so he nodded again and again: "Then this matter will be done." Then he said to Mao Yulong sincerely: "There is no problem for me to bring the soldiers to charge into battle, but it is really difficult for me to let me do so many twists and turns, it is better to do this, Yulong, you can help me, temporarily be a staff officer for me, and win this future war." β
Mao Yulong hesitated: "But what should we do?" I have organized at least three to five hundred volunteers, and I also need someone to lead the team. β
Father Zhao laughed: "Aren't you confused again, if Hangzhou City is broken, how can we live in that block with our three or four hundred volunteers?" If the city of Hangzhou is not broken, our neighborhood will be stable. β
Mao Yulong thought about it, it was really the truth, so he happily accepted Daddy Zhao's invitation, no matter what, he and Daddy Zhao's family have become the same family, and he can't watch his city break and die.
At this time, Father Zhao said to his son behind him: "You immediately take 10 people back to our neighborhood and organize our three or four hundred volunteer neighbors to protect the neighborhood." β
San'er didn't hesitate to hold the whistle stick and shouted loudly: "Honorable order." Then he called 10 able-bodied soldiers and ran home.
Mao Yulong grabbed him: "When I go back, tell my mother, and say that I will help your father guard Hangzhou, and I will not be in danger, so as to save his old man from worrying." β
San'er agreed, and then ran away. I want to talk about "Lonely Ministers at the End of the Ming Dynasty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
