Chapter 31: Eve
After returning to the county government and reading the official document, Jiang Yun finally understood the whole story. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Japanese invaders first landed in Linhai County with two boats of about 1,200 people, and then quickly entered Lougu Village, almost burning and looting all the way by sounding gongs to open the way, attracting the attention of the government, and the follow-up troops infiltrated Tiantai County and Ninghai County respectively, and all the villages they encountered were slaughtered, so the Taizhou government made a serious fatal error in estimating the number of Japanese invaders.
Du commanded Shi Si to command Shi Xi Mingde to respond quickly, leaving 2,000 troops to garrison Taizhou Mansion, and raising 3,000 troops to go to Linhai County to defend against the enemy, but he didn't want to be ambushed halfway, countless Japanese robbers came from all directions like a tide, and the 3,000 army was instantly submerged in the sea of people, the whole army was annihilated, and Xi commanded Shi to die.
Two thousand men were divided, dressed in official uniforms, and served as the vanguard troops. He rushed to Taizhou Mansion that night, lied that the thieves had retreated, and opened the city gate with the command of Shi Ling, and rushed in, Taizhou Mansion fell!
The military newspaper flew to Jinling, and King Wu was furious! He ordered Xu Jiye, the Duke of Wei, to be the governor of the Metropolitan Mansion of the Five Armies, and sent 40,000 troops to Taizhou. Ordered Wenzhou, Jinhua, Shaoxing, and Ningbo to gather and send troops, approach Taizhou Mansion, and contain the Japanese Invaders. In addition, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Songjiang were ordered to raise grain and grass and send them to the front line for backup.
This letter came from Jinling, urging the grain and grass.
There was such a serious war under the rule of King Wu, Cao Rui couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and pretended to urge Master Li to open a warehouse to load grain as soon as possible, but secretly he frequently made stumbling blocks, and made a big fuss about the procedures on the grounds that taxes and grain should not be taken lightly. Originally, it could be loaded with grain on the road in half a day, but it dragged on for two days before the military rations provided by Wu County were loaded and transported to Suzhou Prefecture.
Ever since Jiang Yun read the official document, he has always had an inexplicable palpitation, and a faint sense of uneasiness lingers. It's so unusual! He simply couldn't understand the behavior of the Wako.
If the definition of the Japanese in the previous life was "thief", then the behavior of the Japanese in this world really meets the standard of "army". Jiang Yun couldn't guess the purpose of the wolf, but he was sure that this matter was by no means as simple as his appearance suggested.
It is not surprising to infiltrate in batches and act separately, but the subsequent lure of the enemy to go deep and cooperate in the ambush requires a perfect match that fits the timing perfectly, and as for the final costume to confuse the enemy and make the scam city, the "planning" of the whole thing is exposed.
It's planned, it's not scary! But the "purpose" achieved by the plan is meaningless, which can't help but make people's hearts furious.
The Japanese did occupy Taizhou Mansion, so what next? It is bound to face the crazy counterattack of His Royal Highness King Wu, if there is no continuous follow-up support, replenishment of troops, and supply of grain and grass, how long can Taizhou Mansion occupy?
Unless the east goes out of the nest and may be able to temporarily stabilize the position, it is all a fool's dream to rely on these more than 10,000 Japanese robbers, once the imperial army arrives, let alone defend Taizhou, or want to run back to the sea.
Do you dare to go east and face the imperial court? Obviously, don't dare! If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you really have the intention of invading China, you will inevitably use Goryeo as a springboard first, and then attack the northeast region outside the Guanwai, which history has long proven.
Besides, if Dongchu is really ready to participate in a full-scale war, on the premise that sooner or later he will tear his face, it will inevitably be a regular army that invades Taizhou, so why use the Japanese as the vanguard? Isn't it to hide your ears and steal the bell, and to deceive yourself? That doesn't make sense.
Therefore, it is certain that the act of invading Taizhou has nothing to do with the eastward exit, at least in any case, the eastward exit will not participate in the war head-on.
So let's get down to business, why go to the trouble of coming up with such a series of elaborate plans just to get a meaningless result? Just to attract King Wu's army to encircle and suppress?
No! Unless they have a bad brain and want to commit suicide en masse, they will never meet the army of the imperial court, and before the army arrives, the Japanese will abandon the city and leave. If sooner or later you have to give it up, why take it? And don't you wait for the imperial army to arrive before retreating?
Jiang Yun was puzzled, so he had to find the county commander Cao Rui to discuss, but he didn't want Cao Rui to be uninterested in this, so he only told him to do his part with peace of mind, how could they let a small sesame official like them worry about military affairs.
After touching a nail in Cao Rui's house, Jiang Yun, who returned to the soap room, became more and more restless. Other experiences, may not dare to say, but it is a matter of life and death, he has experienced too much, and his hunch in this regard has always been keen, Jiang Yun believes that he will never make a mistake.
Wu County, there will be chaos!
Jiang Yun did not think that the Japanese had the ability to defeat the regular army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Taizhou Mansion, let alone that the Japanese had the ability to advance all the way from Taizhou to Suzhou Mansion. But that doesn't stop him from making some precautions.
Jiang Yun immediately went to the backyard to find Ji Luo, and opened his mouth to drive her back to Jinling.
Who knew that this girl didn't give him face even more than Cao Rui, so she frowned and looked at him with disgust. "What do you dream about in the daytime, don't think all day, work well. It's okay to bother me, don't you see me busy? ”
What's so busy with this rice worm? Jiang Yundeng was puzzled, and looked to the side according to Ji Luo's eyes, only to see that there were three large wooden barrels under the stone street outside the door of the wing room where she lived, and the barrels were full of clothes.
Jiang Yun fixed his eyes and suddenly turned red. This girl... How to find out all the dirty clothes he hid.
Jiang Yun in his previous life was a standard bachelor, and washing laundry pants was not what he was good at, so he had always been used to piling dirty clothes together and sending them to the dry cleaners at a time. Since the crossing, everything he has done has been handled by the hard-working Zhu'er, and Jiang Yun has almost lived a rotten life of "five fingers do not touch the spring water".
Zhu'er is gone, but his living habits have not changed, he still does not wash it, piles it aside, and after the dirty clothes begin to take shape, he will send it to some old mothers on the street who specialize in laundry, pay a little money, and then take it back and wear it directly after washing and drying.
"You're doing my laundry?" Looking at Ji Luo's arms rolling up his sleeves and his white and tender hands stained with honey locust juice, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. "Don't wash it, you're the county lord, how can you do such rough work."
"I'm not a county lord now."
"Huh?"
Ji Luo was pretty and said softly: "People... Now it's your wife. ”
"Uh... Jiang Yun smiled bitterly: "It's just a matter of deceiving Cao County's order, it doesn't have to be like this." ”
"That's not going to work." Ji Luo said, walked to the barrel, lifted the pleated skirt slightly, sat on the small wooden chair next to him, reached out and grabbed a shirt, and rubbed it vigorously. "You are not a member of the court now, just a classic history, my wife can't be too squeamish, I can't cook yet, so I can only go to your room to get some clothes to wash. Save the suspicion of the surname Cao and find you trouble. ”
Ji Luo's laundry action was very stiff, but the expression on her face was very serious.
"You haven't washed your own clothes, have you?"
"Yes." Ji Luo nodded and said: "Daddy never let me do these things, saying that with my identity, even if I marry someone in the future, I will never marry into an ordinary family, and I don't want to learn these rough jobs." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh lightly. "But I didn't expect that the first time I washed my clothes, I was to wash it for a big man like you, hum, it's cheap for you!"
"Does the county lord have time at night? The work can't be done in vain, at night... I'll treat you to dinner. ”
"Okay." Ji Luo smiled, very sweet.
Because of a small episode, Jiang Yun temporarily let go of his worries. After the sun went down, Jiang Yun was the east, and the two of them had a meal in Yuelouhai, and they shook around the night market without heart or lungs, and then they went back to the house to rest satisfied.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yun's premonition finally became a reality. The bad news came, in the middle of the night yesterday, 3,000 Japanese invaders landed in Shanghai County, and after receiving the news, the Songjiang Prefecture Command Envoy Department received the news, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Taizhou Prefecture, 5,000 soldiers and horses retreated into the city, allowing the Japanese to burn, kill and loot, and not move at all.
Shanghai County was reduced to rubble overnight. The Japanese invaders advanced to Suzhou Mansion without hindrance, and the Suzhou Mansion commanded the envoy to draw gourds in the same way, close the city gates, and wait solemnly, but they did not want the Japanese to rush around Suzhou Mansion without hesitation, and went straight to Wu County to kill.
It's here in a moment! The county government was in turmoil.
