Chapter 1107 Explanation and Confidence

When Zhu Pingan was busy directing the defense on the city wall, the discordant voices under the city wall never stopped. Those who refused to listen to persuasion and wanted to flee the city with all their heart, because Zhu Pingan did not order to open the city gate and meet their demands, their cries, cursing, and sarcasm never stopped, especially when Zhu Pingan focused on strengthening the west. During the defense of the city wall section, these discordant voices reached a climax, as if they were boiling like boiling.

"Men and young men, everyone has seen it. Don't look at our county magistrate, who is not very old, but he is very cunning. Look, there are only more than 150 soldiers in the county. There are more than 60 soldiers left in the west city, and only 30 soldiers left in each of the east gate, south gate, and north gate."

"Everyone knows that the first pirates appeared at the east gate, but our Xiaozhi County deployed heavy troops at the west gate. It was not for public use, but for his own protection. He said he would live and die with the county. , but dispatched heavy troops to protect himself, it is estimated that when the time is too late, he will take these heavy troops to break through and escape from the city. This is both being a **** and setting up an archway."

"When the Japanese pirates break through the city, we don't have to run away. Xiaozhi County is protected by these soldiers, so we can run away at any time."

"Big guys, young and old, everyone, keep your eyes wide open, keep your eyes open, and see the true face of this pious little magistrate, don't be sold out and pay for the money..."

The discordant voices under the city wall are getting louder and louder, and have reached the level of affecting the preparation for battle on the city wall. This cannot be left alone. Zhu Pingan put down the stone in his hand, patted the dust on his hands, and walked slowly to the front of the city wall. .

People under the city wall have been paying attention to Zhu Pingan, especially those who are full of resentment towards Zhu Pingan because they can't leave the city, they are staring at Zhu Pingan without blinking. When Zhu Ping'an came over, everyone focused their attention on Zhu Ping'an.

"Master Zhixian, you talk about living and dying with the county, but in the end you deploy heavy troops to protect yourself..."

"That's right, you say one thing, but you don't. When the Japanese pirates break through the city, you will be protected, and you can be protected at any time to escape. We poor civilians can only be slaughtered by the Japanese pirates."

"Master Zhixian, in order to satisfy your false reputation of living and dying with the county, do you want so many innocent people to be buried with you? Don't you think you are too selfish? If you really want to leave a good name in the hearts of our people, Now that there are no Japanese pirates in the west gate, open the city gate and let us flee the city, we will miss you when we leave the city."

Before Zhu Ping'an walked to the city wall and hadn't opened his mouth yet, those people in the city who wanted to get out of the city had already taken the lead in attacking them. At the critical moment of life and death, they didn't care about superiority or inferiority. You don't let us go out of the city to survive, what are we afraid of.

"Fathers and folks, I, Zhu Pingan, said that if I live and die with the county, I must live and die with the county. This time the Japanese invaded the city, and I, Zhu Pingan, have only two results, either victory or death. Fathers and folks, there is no need to doubt. At any time, I, Zhu Pingan, abandon the city and flee, you can cut off the head of my Zhu Ping'an immediately; Therefore, the Taizhou government will definitely cut off my head, Zhu Pingan, for the crime of escaping from the city, breaking promises, and not obeying the military order."

Zhu Ping'an stood on the city wall, looked at the mocking people below, pointed at his head, and explained to everyone seriously.

The people under the city wall who were rebelling against Yingtian heard the words, looked up at the official official documents pasted on the city wall, and nodded, yes, all the official documents with the county magistrate's seal were posted, and the magistrate couldn't regret it even if he wanted to.

but

Still not right, since you are going to live and die with the county, then why are you selfishly mobilizing heavy troops to protect yourself.

Someone thought of this and couldn't wait to question Zhu Pingan, "The county magistrate said it nicely, so why did you send a large number of troops to stay in Xicheng? It's not about using power for personal gain, using public weapons for private use, and deploying troops to protect yourself."

"Fathers and folks, the reason why I, Zhu Ping'an, deployed heavy troops to focus on defending Xicheng is not out of selfishness to protect myself, but because Xicheng will become the focus of this Japanese invasion." Zhu Pingan pointed to his feet and explained.

"Will the west city be the focus of the Japanese pirates' attack? Hahaha... The county magistrate really lied and didn't write a draft. It is obvious that there are Japanese pirates outside the east city gate, but now there is no one outside the west city gate, but the county magistrate said that the Japanese pirates will attack the west city? ! The county magistrate really thinks us ordinary people are stupid and easy to coax."

"That's right, magistrate. We are not blind, and you can't coax us. Now that the Japanese pirates have clearly appeared in the east city, how could they focus on attacking the west city? Why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?"

"Hahaha, how funny."

"Look, big guy, the magistrate is the magistrate, and you can't blush when you tell lies with your eyes open."

After Zhu Ping'an explained, there was a roar of ridicule under the city wall, and everyone questioned Zhu Ping'an's rhetoric. You see, the Japanese pirates clearly appeared outside the east city gate, but you focus on defending the west city, it doesn't make sense.

"The Japanese pirates are using a strategy of attacking the west. They used dozens of Japanese pirates to paralyze and deceive us in the east city. When they finally attacked, they attacked the west gate by surprise. Therefore, I focused on defending the west gate."

Zhu Pingan explained again.

"The county magistrate really lied and didn't make a draft. Once you say it, the Japanese pirates belong to your family. If you say they are talking about it, they will talk about it."

"That's right, how do you know that the Japanese pirates are attacking the west. If the Japanese pirates attack the Dongcheng Gate, the number of people at the Dongcheng Gate is not enough for people to bite their teeth."

"Liar..."

"Seeing is believing, words are unfounded. Japanese pirates clearly appeared at the Dongcheng Gate, one after another, one after another, and more and more. The county magistrate actually said that the Japanese pirates were stalking each other, which is really ridiculous."

People under the city wall didn't believe it, and the ridicule continued.

"Fathers and folks, if you have paid attention before, you will find that most of the villages ravaged by Japanese pirates are concentrated on the west side of the county seat. Only a few villages on the east side have suffered disasters, while a large area of villages on the west side have suffered disasters. This also shows that, The Japanese pirates were concentrated on the west side of the county seat. If the Japanese pirates attacked the county seat, the west gate would be more convenient for them to gather and attack... In addition, the villages in distress on the east side were far from the county seat, while the villages in distress on the west side were only a few miles away from the county seat. If we talk about arriving first, it would be appropriate for the pirates on the west side to appear first at the west city gate, but the pirates on the east side first appeared at the east gate, so all this is just a cover-up, a trick by the pirates to attack the west."

Zhu Ping'an pointed to the east of the city, then pointed to the west of the city, and explained to everyone confidently.

Of course he was confident, Zhu Pingan silently looked towards the west of the city, and silently shouted, "Guangzong Yaozu."

In the old forest not far from the county seat in the west of the city, billowing black luck is intertwined with blood-red evil python luck like an evil python, murderous and rising to the sky, and the two are entwined and circling like a tornado from the old forest in the west of the city to the county town Sweeping over the west gate, in an instant, black and blood-red luck was like rain, dripping and pouring on the white luck pillars above the heads of the common people in the county. Black, blood red transformation...

Blood-red luck represents **** disasters, and black luck represents death.

This is Zhu Pingan's self-confidence.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an definitely can't tell the common people like this, he can only retreat from the conclusion to the details, and use the details to present the facts to the common people to make sense.

The effect is also ideal.

Zhu Pingan presented the facts and reasoned, and his words were convincing. Everyone under the city wall heard the words and thought about it, and it seemed to be true.

Of course, for those stubborn people who wanted to leave the city, no matter how reasonable Zhu Pingan said, they would not believe it. Zhu Ping'an's voice fell behind, and they buzzed around the city to refute and question Zhu Ping'an, but no matter the scale, strength or influence, it was much smaller than before, and it was no longer enough to affect the overall situation of Beiwa.
