Chapter 1458 Wrong direction

Since receiving the report from the pond, Zhu Pingan has been paying close attention to the news about the 150 Japanese pirates from yesterday, but he has not received any news from this group of Japanese pirates for two days. Jiang went out to sea and fled far away. These days, it is not uncommon for Japanese pirates to go ashore and run away as soon as they grab them.

However, Zhu Pingan felt that this group of Japanese pirates would not escape so easily, because this group of Japanese pirates was very powerful. Since they landed in Shangyu, they have succeeded in burning, killing and looting again and again. They have not suffered a single defeat or lost personnel. The ability to continue committing crimes and looting. The Japanese pirates who are so powerful are definitely not satisfied with only landing for half a day, only burning, killing and looting a small town, a censor and a small village after returning home! Such powerful Japanese pirates must have a huge appetite and a huge ambition.

Zhu Ping'an judged that they would continue to do evil, and they would not run away until they had robbed enough, or their strength was seriously damaged.

However, the strange thing is that after this group of Japanese pirates disappeared by the Qiantang River, they hibernated for two full days without showing a trace. What evil intentions did they hide? ! Where is their next destination? !

Zhu Ping'an is puzzled!

On the third day, Zhu Pingan couldn't help writing several official letters, ordering Liu Mu to go to Yingtian City, Yingtian Military Department and other officials to inquire about the news of this group of Japanese pirates. When Liu Mu was about to leave, another letter Tang Bao arrived at the Zhejiang army barracks.

After receiving the Tang newspaper, Zhu Pingan had an intuition that the Tang newspaper must have something to do with the group of Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu.

Sure enough, when Zhu Pingan opened the pond newspaper, he saw the news about this group of pirates!

However, when seeing the place where this group of Japanese pirates appeared, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but let out a "Huh?!"

Unbelievable!

After this group of pirates disappeared by the Qiantang River, they actually appeared in Changhua County yesterday afternoon!

This direction is a bit wrong! Changhua County is to the west, one hundred kilometers west of Hangzhou Fucheng, that is, two hundred miles.

This distance is not close!

Theoretically speaking, Japanese pirates usually plunder along the coast, and the place where this group of Japanese pirates disappeared was along the Qiantang River. They disappeared after massacring Wangjiang Village.

The Japanese pirates should have crossed the Qiantang River, headed north and east, and plundered along the coast in order to escape into the sea.

Why did this group of Japanese pirates leave the fertile suburbs of Hangzhou and the coastal areas on the opposite bank, instead of going west and deep into the inland? !

In this regard, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but let out a questioning "Huh?", wondering why this group of Japanese pirates went west.

Zhu Pingan had two doubts at this time. One was that the gang of Japanese pirates had lost their way. They came from a long distance across the sea. There is also a suspicion that this group of Japanese pirates slaughtered Wangjiang Village before they disappeared by the Qiantang River. Could it be that when they slaughtered the village, they also robbed people who were familiar with the surrounding terrain in Wangjiang Village and asked them to lead the way? The hero Wang Erxiao also risked his life to trap the Japanese pirates, and deliberately led the Japanese pirates to the west, deflected the Japanese pirates to the inland, and let the Japanese pirates be surrounded by officers and soldiers from all over the inland!

But the facts are like this, after this group of Japanese pirates disappeared by Wangjiang Village on the Qiantang River, they appeared in Changhua County on the opposite bank, 200 miles to the west!

The Japanese pirates slaughtered the Yumi Village by the river in Changhua County. Changhua county magistrate led troops and 400 people came to suppress the Japanese pirates, but lost to the Japanese pirates and was easily defeated by the Japanese pirates.

After the Japanese pirates defeated the magistrate of Changhua County, they pursued them tail-to-tail, entered Changhua County from the south gate of Changhua County, burned, killed and looted the county town, and left from the west gate.

After leaving Changhua County, the Japanese pirates reappeared in Yuqian County next to Changhua County in the evening, and robbed Langyu Town. Yuzhen was ambushed by Japanese pirates on the way. After several people were killed and injured, Dianshi of Yuqian County led the crowd to retreat strategically.

Tang Daily recorded the last record, and the government of Hangzhou was shocked by it

"Ugh"

Seeing this record, Zhu Pingan couldn't help sighing.

This gang of Japanese pirates is still that gang of Japanese pirates! Fierce, ferocious, cunning, good at fighting! Good at laying an ambush!

This is no ordinary Japanese pirate!

This group of Japanese pirates is like a special soldier who is good at fighting!

Don't want to admit it!

But it is true!

In contrast, the officers and soldiers along the way are like a mob!

After sighing for a long time, Zhu Pingan unfolded the pond newspaper again, and read it again carefully, this time focusing on the details.

After reading it again, Zhu Pingan discovered a problem. According to the Tang Bao, the number of Japanese pirates facing the magistrate of Changhua County was more than 130 people, but less than 140 people.

More than one hundred and thirty people?

Isn't this group of Japanese pirates one hundred and fifty people? How did it become more than one hundred and thirty people? !

This group of Japanese pirates has been reduced in number!

Where did the staff decrease? ! During the two days between disappearing in Wangjiang Village and appearing in Changhua County, the Japanese pirates lost ten people. The Tang newspaper did not record where the pirates robbed in the past two days, so either the pirates were on their way in the past two days, or the pirates robbed a remote village in the past two days. Due to the remoteness of the village, they have not been found yet. Then the reason for the Japanese pirates' downsizing may be natural reasons, such as crossing the river, overturning a boat, drowning, etc., or when they plundered remote villages, they encountered fierce resistance, resulting in downsizing.

No matter what the reason is, it is a good thing that Japanese pirates have lost staff. Otherwise, I thought this gang of Japanese pirates were invulnerable!

After reading the pond newspaper, Zhu Pingan took advantage of the training interval to briefly declare the content of the pond newspaper to the whole army, and urged the Zhejiang army to strengthen training, "Sweat more in peacetime and cry less in wartime."

So, another day later, Zhu Pingan received another Tang newspaper in the evening.

Don't think about it, the news of this group of Japanese pirates must be recorded in this pond newspaper. Sure enough, when I opened the pond newspaper, what I saw was exactly this gang of Japanese pirates.

"Um?!"

Seeing where the Japanese pirates appeared, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but let out the same puzzled "hmm" sound as yesterday.

This group of Japanese pirates actually appeared in Huizhou Prefecture!

After the Japanese pirates plundered Chun'an County, they appeared in Huizhou Prefecture!

Huizhou Prefecture is to the west of Yuqian County and Changhua County, more inland, Huizhou Prefecture is already Anhui Province!

Anhui Province! Are these pirates crazy? ! Why are you still heading west? ! There are ten thousand doubts in Zhu Pingan's heart!

This group of Japanese pirates lost their way too much! This fan has lost his way to Anhui Province!

Or is it that this group of Japanese pirates has turned around? They came from a long way, and they are not familiar with the place where they lived. They thought they were going east, but they turned west? ! No, it's been four days, has the steering turned around for four days? !

Moreover, it is too easy for this group of Japanese pirates to enter Huizhou.

Huizhou is known as "eight half mountain, one water, half farmland and manor". In Huizhou, there are one mountain after another, one peak after another, with hills and valleys interlaced, and the terrain is particularly complicated.

In particular, Huizhou is the junction of Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, and there is a pass at this junction!
