Chapter 1469 Insight into the traitor
Zhu Pingan drew another map of the whereabouts of the Shangyu Japanese pirates after they landed, and marked Yingtian and other places. He carefully recalled the deeds of the Japanese pirates who attacked Nanjing in modern times.
Zhu Pingan had browsed relevant historical records in modern times. It was said that during the Jiajing period, a group of about 53 Japanese pirates spread across three thousand miles and robbed the three provinces of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu, and plundered more than 20 prefectures and counties. Invaded the remaining capital Nanjing.
Of course, there are disputes about the number of Japanese pirates in the remaining historical materials. The historical materials are different and the records are different.
Although there is controversy, the number of Japanese pirates can basically be confirmed to be between fifty and seventy.
The Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu now have about 90 left, and they are still separated from Nanjing by Taiping Mansion and other places. It is estimated that when they fight all the way to Yingtian, some people will be lost on the way, especially Taiping Mansion has a garrison, so When they arrived in Yingtian, their remaining manpower was estimated to be between fifty and seventy.
So, this group of Japanese pirates basically matches the number of Japanese pirates who attacked Yingtian.
Then, Zhu Ping'an discovered that, in addition to basically matching the number of people, the routes of the Japanese pirates also basically matched. According to historical records, the Japanese pirates who attacked the city of Nanjing landed from Zhejiang, and robbed the three provinces of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu all the way, spanning three thousand miles; this group of Japanese pirates landed from Shangyu, Zhejiang, and then turned inland from Zhejiang to enter Anhui , and now has more than 1,800 miles in length and breadth. Therefore, the route and travel distance before the attack on Nanjing are basically the same.
In addition to the above two points, there is also combat effectiveness.
According to historical records, the gang of Japanese pirates who attacked Yingtian was astonishingly powerful. Like wild boars, they rampaged through the territory of the Ming Dynasty, with few rivals. There are even historical records that said that during the Jiajing period, during the decades when the Japanese invasion was the worst, There is no Japanese pirate with a higher combat effectiveness than this group of Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu were also extremely aggressive in combat. The Tang newspaper has repeatedly recorded their terrifying act of catching arrows empty-handed. Zhu Pingan has never seen such Japanese pirates who can fight so well, and even feels that they can be classified as Ancient special forces.
So, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu are basically the same as the Japanese pirates who attacked Yingtian in history.
These coincidences are too many!
History is no coincidence!
Thinking of this, Zhu Pingan can already conclude that the group of Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu is the same group of Japanese pirates who brazenly attacked Nanjing recorded in history.
Therefore, it is necessary to report to the heaven as soon as possible, and to prepare early and make sufficient preparations so as not to repeat the mistakes of history.
Historically, this group of Japanese pirates attacked Yingtian, causing Yingtian to lose troops and generals. The historical data used the description of "almost captured Yingtian", which shows how much damage this group of Japanese pirates did to Yingtian and how serious the trauma was!
This incident had a far-reaching impact. It not only seriously humiliated the Ming court, but also dealt a heavy blow to the anti-Japanese morale.
Never repeat the mistakes of history!
Zhu Ping'an's eyes became firmer, and without delay, he quickly sent someone to call Liu Dadao and others, and ordered them to ride with him to Yingtian to warn!
On the way to Yingtian, Zhu Pingan had been thinking hard, why did this group of pirates attack Nanjing? ! Why did this group of Japanese pirates take the risk to go deep into the interior? If they wanted to attack Nanjing, wouldn't it be closer to go directly from Shangyu to Nanjing? ! Or isn't it more convenient to log in near Yingtian? ! Why take the risk of going deep into the interior and attacking Nanjing after such a large circle? ! What plot do they have? !
Zhu Ping'an rode his horse and whipped his whip, while racking his brains to think hard about the above problems.
This group of Japanese pirates definitely did not get lost and went in the wrong direction! They fought against the government and army not only with strong force, but also good at setting up ambushes, attacking east and west, etc. It can be seen that this group of Japanese pirates is definitely cunning and cunning!
So, this group of Japanese pirates will never go deep into the inland for no reason, they must have ulterior motives and ulterior motives!
But the scheming Japanese pirates, why did they take such a big risk to go deep into the inland and attack the heavily guarded giant city of Yingtian? ! The lone army goes deep into a foreign country and circles a big circle. After losing half of its troops, it still has to attack the heavily guarded giant city!
This is nothing short of a suicide trip!
Why? !
What conspiracy are the Japanese pirates planning? !
Zhu Pingan pondered for a long time on horseback, but still could not come up with a plausible answer.
If you can't figure it out clearly, then think about it differently.
Zhu Pingan imagined himself as a Japanese pirate who came across the ocean and landed in Shangyu, Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty. After burning, killing and looting a village and town, not only did he not escape, but he also fearlessly drank and ate meat in the most magnificent courtyard of the village and town. Singing and dancing, rejuvenating energy, waiting for the Shaoxing Mansion and Weisuo coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty to come to encircle and suppress them. The army reinforcements, before the Ming army attacked at night, killed another wave of besieging the Ming army, tore open a hole, and crossed the river on a raft to escape the Ming army's siege easily; After the attack and killing, they headed northward; when they reached the Qiantang River, they turned around and headed westward into the inland. They hurriedly marched to Tuyumi Village in Changhua County, and killed the officers and soldiers of Changhua County who came to encircle and suppress them. Changhua County, after burning and looting for a while, continued westward to Yuqian County, burned, killed and looted again, and attracted officers and soldiers from Yuqian County to encircle and suppress them. ;Continue to advance westward to Chun'an County, defeating the officers and soldiers again; enter Huizhou Prefecture westward, and attack the pass.
Zhu Pingan imagined himself as a Japanese pirate, landing, killing, attacking officers and soldiers, attacking county towns, and attacking passes
"Um?!"
Zhu Ping'an's eyes twitched suddenly, and he realized that something was wrong. This group of Japanese pirates fought with officers and soldiers too frequently!
It seems that they came across the ocean, not for money, but to fight for the Ming army everywhere. No matter which county or prefecture they go to, they have to fight with the local officers and soldiers. Even if they can avoid it, they Don't avoid it either!
If the person who is most familiar with the situation of the Ming army along the way is this group of Japanese pirates!
Wait, are you familiar with the situation of the Ming army? !
Like a flash of light piercing the night! Zhu Pingan's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help blurting out, "They are spies!"
This group of Japanese pirates landed from Shangyu, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, went north to the Qiantang River, and turned inland. Changhua, Yuqian, Chun'an, Huizhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture circled around the most prosperous Suzhou and Shanghai areas in the south of the Yangtze River. After traveling in a big circle and traveling for three thousand miles, all human resources, material resources, terrain, military strength, and combat power are all in the chest; my terrain and military strength are peeped by him, and I will invade the invaders in the future. How can I control it!
What a big appetite!
Sure enough, there are ulterior motives!
