Chapter 1155: Taizhou Sleepless
In the dead of night, the birds are tired, and the stars and the moon hang in the sky. Jingnan slept, Taiping also slept, but Taizhou Mansion had no sleep tonight!
How to sleep in the siege of the city?!
Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, wore armor, hung a sword from his waist, and looked at the more than 10,000 widows under the city with a heavy face.
This morning, a group of five or six thousand men began to besiege Fucheng, and at noon another wave of Japanese invaders, with two or three thousand men; In the evening, another wave of pirates came, also two or three thousand people. In addition, the Japanese also coerced thousands of people, absorbing thousands of bandits and ruffians who took advantage of the fire to rob, so that the number of Japanese robbers besieging the city was more than 20,000 people, and the Taizhou capital city was impassable.
"The government knew that the Jiangnan was in serious trouble, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. The Japanese dared to break through the county seat and besiege the city! Tan Lun looked at the robbers in the city and said with an indignant face.
Tan Lun knew that the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River were in serious trouble, and he was appointed to serve as the prefect of Taizhou because the Japanese invaded the coastal areas of Zhejiang repeatedly.
He was appointed to the prefect of Taizhou at the beginning of this year, and he took office a few months earlier than Zhu Ping'an, and he has only been in office for less than half a year.
Tan Lun is not very old, only in his thirties. He has read poetry and books since childhood, has excellent intelligence, is a famous local prodigy, and has a calm personality, and is praised by the locals, he did not live up to the high expectations of everyone, in Jiajing twenty-three years in the jinshi, when he was only twenty-four years old, before Zhu Ping'an was not the champion, he was one of the youngest jinshi in the Jiajing dynasty. After Jinshi and the first, he was appointed as the director of the Nanjing Rite Department, and three years later he served as Fang Langzhong, in charge of the map of the world and the city god, the town guard, the fortress, the beacon, and the border ethnic minorities attached to the annex. Tan Lun has many achievements in his tenure, and because he is familiar with military affairs, he is appreciated by the officials, and the Taizhou prefect is vacant, and the coastal areas of Taizhou are mostly invaded by Japanese invaders, so the Shangguan recommended him as the prefect of Taizhou.
Taizhou prefect, this is from the four products!
Tan Lun is only thirty-two years old this year, and he can be said to be the youngest member of the fourth grade in the Ming Dynasty. You must know that before Zhu Ping'an was demoted, he was just a fifth-grade official.
For a time, Tan Lun was in the limelight.
Tan Lun is young and promising, young and ambitious, and he will not be satisfied with the prefect of the fourth grade.
Worship the prime minister! Go down in history! That's what he's after.
Therefore, after being appointed as the prefect of Taizhou, Tan Lun was determined to do a great career in Taizhou Mansion! Then use Taizhou Mansion as a pedal to step into a higher level, so that everyone in the world knows his Tan Lun's name!
However, he has always had good luck, and after he became the prefect of Taizhou, it seems that luck does not favor him a little.
Just like right now!
A few days ago, the Japanese invaded Taizhou Mansion suddenly, and before he could react and dispatch troops, he had heard that many counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Mansion had been broken by the Japanese Invaders. Judging from the wave after wave of Japanese robbers gathering under the Taizhou capital city, it is estimated that these Japanese robbers first broke through the county town below, and then came to Taizhou to meet under the city, intending to join forces to break through our Taizhou capital city.
It is estimated that the seven counties below have been attacked by the Japanese Invaders! The seven county towns are all broken!
At the beginning, it was the serious problem of Taizhou that I was appointed as the prefect of Taizhou, but I didn't expect to be employed for less than half a year, and there was no achievement at all, and the problem was even more serious than at the beginning! The seven counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Government are all broken! The city is besieged! Although the southeast is in serious trouble, my Ming Dynasty has never been so defeated!
For Tan Lun, who is determined to do a great career in Taizhou Mansion, this is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face! Far from that! It's not just a slap in the face! It was a political disaster.
Crisis!
Serious crisis!
The first crisis of my life! If you don't handle it well, let alone pay homage to the marquis, your career will be ruined!
Damn the Wako, if you give yourself more time and wait for your new army to be trained, why should you be like this!
"Fuzun, the Japanese robbers in the city have no way to camp, full of flaws, the Japanese robbers only care about drinking and feasting, the discipline is loose, and no one is on guard, which is a good opportunity to break the enemy. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the last general is trusted by the government, and the last general is promoted to the end of the micro, and the last general has nothing to repay, please take advantage of the night to attack his camp, and it will be broken in one fell swoop! To repay the love of the government! ”
Behind Tan Lun, a young general who was also in his thirties, named Zuo Zhen, carefully watched the Japanese under the city for a moment, and found that the Japanese under the city were full of flaws, and couldn't help but clench his fists confidently and ask for battle.
"General Zuo, the soldiers of the city are unbearable for field battles, and the more than 1,000 new troops under your command have been trained for less than a few months, and there is more than enough to defend the city, and it is difficult to break the enemy. If the new army had been in force for a year, why would the government wait for the Japanese to besiege the city, and have already gone out of the city to break the enemy. Hearing this, Tan Lun waved his hand slightly, and did not agree to the invitation of his subordinate generals.
When Tan Lun was appointed to the prefect of Taizhou in danger, he was determined to do a great career in Taizhou Mansion. The first thing he did when he became the prefect of Taizhou was to ask the imperial court for his life, asking the imperial court to allow him to train a thousand new troops to resist the invading Japanese invaders. Although the imperial court allowed it, two months have passed, and today, the thousand new troops have only just begun to train for less than three months, and they are far from the point where they can go out of the city to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Although Tan Lun also wanted to defeat the Japanese and save the defeat in Taizhou, reason told him that he couldn't. Going out of town now will not only not help, but may lead to an even worse disaster. If you go out of the city and are defeated by the Japanese invaders, then the Taizhou capital city will be finished!
"Fuzun, although our army has not been formed for a long time, it is diligent in training every day, and now it has been ordered and prohibited, the morale is high, and it has the spirit of elite; The camp under the city is full of flaws, and the thieves only care about drinking, and no one is on guard, it is a good opportunity to break the enemy. ”
Zuo Zhen continued to ask for battle.
"No, General Zuo must not underestimate the Japanese outside the city, the first name of the Japanese thieves outside the city is Jiangmen, he is not a reckless and incompetent person, this person is the general banner of Xiaoshanwei in Fujian, and has more than ten years of experience in marching the army. With his experience in the army, the camp outside the city was not so flawed, I am afraid that it was his plan to lure the enemy. ”
Tan Lun looked at Zuo Zhen, shook his head slightly, pointed to the tent in the middle of the city outside the city, and said slowly.
"Thanks to Fuzun's calmness, otherwise I am afraid that I will become a sinner in Taizhou Mansion." Zuo Zhen listened to Tan Lun's explanation, and thought so, a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead, and then he couldn't help but be indignant, "As the chief banner of the guard, the Jiang thief doesn't want to serve the court, and he actually became a widow, which is really a shame for my generation." ”
