"how so?"
"My nephew, I don't know something!" Ding Dianshi sighed, "Dajing has been at peace for a long time, and the military equipment is somewhat weakened. Although the imperial court has continued military exercises, those who can fight are all in the border fortress, and the soldiers within the territory are Far from it. Not to mention the small counties along the way that were plundered, even Zhu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Jiangning Town who suffered a defeat this time, was nothing more than a sack of wine and rice bags. He had a total of 500 soldiers and horses, but he gave away more than 300 People, their own lives are also at stake."
Ding Dianshi's words revealed his dissatisfaction with the commander-in-chief. Seeing Pan's confused look, he had to click again.
"That guy Zhu Xiang, ever since he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Jiangning Town, he has been in trouble with the caravans under the Pan family's name several times. He is very shameless."
Yes, it turned out that he was still an enemy of the Pan family. No wonder Ding Dianshi wanted to scold him a few more times to please Pan En. Unfortunately, this Pan En was not the other Pan En. If Ding Dianshi didn't point it out clearly, it would be tantamount to ogling him. Blind.
Pan En looked like he suddenly understood, "So that's it. Why does this guy's name sound so familiar to me? It turns out that he is a villain who has trouble with my family. I thought he was shameless at first, but I didn't expect that he is still a good-for-nothing who was beaten many times by the Japanese pirates." .”
"you do not say!"
Ding Dianshi said, "In fact, even if the training of the soldiers was lax, there was absolutely no reason to lose in this five-hundred-to-fifty fight. Who would have thought that Zhu Xiang was really unbearable. I heard that he originally planned to wait for work, but the Japanese pirates didn't know where they got the news. , never showed up. Military discipline in Jiangning Town, where Zhu Xiang lived, was lax. Over time, the soldiers couldn't stand the heat. They took off their armor and ran to drink and enjoy the coolness under the shade of the trees. At this time, the Japanese pirates suddenly rushed out and caught them off guard. Jiangning Town When escaping, the men and horses panicked and did not choose the way. Instead, they fell into the ditch they had dug before and were unable to move. They were stunned to be hacked to death by the Japanese pirates one by one. Zhu Xiang was also hacked by the leading Japanese pirate because of his bright armor. He took off his armor and wandered around in front of Nanjing City for a while, making several elders in the city sick."
"Then the Japanese pirates are so arrogant? Aren't there fifty thousand defenders in the city?"
"According to Taizu's old system, there should be 100,000 soldiers in Jinling City, but after such reductions in the past dynasties, there are only 50,000 soldiers left now, of which 30% are those who have no pay, and the rest are patchworked together to survive. There are only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers. Among the 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and mainly thin and weak. I heard that most of them cannot even bear the weight of armor. If they go out to fight in the city, hehe, I'm afraid there will be There is no return.”
Ding Dianshi said it very rudely.
"Then let those Japanese pirates be arrogant?"
"After the victory, the group of Japanese pirates attacked Andemen for several days. However, Jinling City was built under the supervision of Taizu himself and was extremely strong. Seeing that there was no chance, the group of Japanese pirates continued to flee south. Finally, the imperial army received the news. They were surrounded and completely annihilated.”
"That group of Japanese pirates is really vicious and heart-rending, but uncle, my nephew, you still don't know where the joy comes from?"
Ding Dianshi burst out laughing, "Thanks to the three Japanese pirates that my nephew gave me before. This major event shocked the capital, and the emperor was very angry and ordered to rectify military affairs. But I, Wu County, was embarrassed this time. We handed over the heads of three Japanese pirates without injuring a single soldier. The county magistrate and I both received awards, all thanks to my nephew."
Paine knew in his heart that this was what happened. Ding Dianshi seems to have received a lot of favors. This is because he is afraid that he will be unhappy if he finds out about it and spread the matter out.
"I don't understand what Shibo said. Aren't those three Japanese pirates captured by Shibo?"
Paine pretended to be stupid.
"Hahaha, my nephew is really a decent person. In this case, I can't be stingy. I will give a generous gift to both my nephew and Pan's family!"
