"I finally understand why the county lord said, 'Not more than 30 brothers, but more than 30,000 brothers'......"

The officials on the city wall opened their mouths wide, and watched with a shocked face as the people under the city continued to pour onto the city wall, more and more, shoulder to shoulder, looking around, the people who rushed to line up to the city wall were like a long dragon, winding up, the head of the long dragon could not be seen in front, and the tail of the long dragon could not be seen in the back.

"Our county respects one mouth, which can withstand thousands of troops...... As long as there is a county honor, everything is possible. The soldier next to the official looked at Zhu Ping'an's back, and said with reverence, seeing so many people rushing to the city wall to defend the city together, the despair in his heart was swept away, and his face was full of hope.

Like the soldiers, the officials and soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, and hope grew in their hearts for the defense of the city.

The atmosphere of despair that hung over Jingnan County like a thick fog dissipated as if blown by a strong gust of wind.

Break the game!

The mortal crisis has ushered in a turning point. Zhu Ping'an's mobilization can definitely go down in history.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, at the time of Jingnan's life and death, you have come forward, you are all heroes, you are all the pride of Jingnan, and you are the patron saints of Jingnan, I Zhu Ping'an is here to thank all my fathers and fellow villagers."

On the city wall, Zhu Ping'an looked at the crowd pouring up the city wall, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he bowed to everyone.

"The county is serious, it should be us who thank the county honor. When the county first came to Jingnan, he could protect Jingnan at the cost of his life, and we, who were born and raised in Jingnan, have no reason not to protect Jingnan. ”

"The county lord, don't say that, we are ashamed, we don't know the praise of the county lord. If it weren't for the words of the county magistrate who woke up the dreamer, we would really have become cowards who were killed by the Japanese and despised. ”

"Lord Zhixian, you are the patron saint of Jingnan."

"Lord Zhixian, we are not cowards, we have to fight the Japanese to the end and protect our parents, wives and children."

"Jingnan is also our Jingnan, we were born in Jingnan, grew up in Jingnan, Jingnan is in trouble, of course we have to stand up."

People spoke one after another, not daring to accept Zhu Ping'an's worship.

"It's all Ping An is incompetent, and it has involved all the fathers and villagers to take risks to defend the city, and Ping An is here to apologize to all the fathers and villagers."

Zhu Ping'an once again gave up his hands, as Jingnan's parent official, he was incapable of protecting Jingnan, and was forced to mobilize the people to defend the city, so that the people could face the murderous and inhumane Japanese robbers, Zhu Ping'an's heart was full of guilt.

"What a crime the county lord has, if it weren't for the county lord's insistence, we would have been killed by the widows outside the west gate. Also, the county magistrate, you will protect Jingnan at the cost of your life, we have all seen it. ”

"What does the siege of the city have to do with the lord of the county. If it weren't for the county magistrate guarding the city on the city wall, Jingnan would have been attacked by the Japanese Invaders. ”

"The county magistrate is our great benefactor, not a sinner."

"It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, we don't have a guard in Jingnan, how can there be any strength to defend the city, more than 3,000 Japanese invaders are attacking the city, and it is normal to not be able to defend it. Moreover, it is already a miracle that the magistrate of the county organized the government and the gatekeepers to defend the city, and guarded more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers to attack the city. The county magistrate is not only innocent, but has made great contributions. ”

"The county respects the words seriously, if we don't defend the city, the Japanese invaders will break through the county, and we will be a dead end. Defending the city, you can also fight for your parents, wives and children to survive. If it weren't for the county zun to wake us up, we would have to wait for death. ”

People said emotionally, what is Jingnan like, they couldn't be clearer, there is no strength to defend the city, if the Japanese only come to a hundred or so people, they can't defend the city, it can be said that the county is incompetent, but the Japanese invaders came more than 3,000 people at once, then they can hold it, Zhu Ping'an has done well enough, and it is impossible for anyone to do better than Zhu Ping'an. Last year, only 100 people came to the county seat and the county was breached.

"Thank you to all the fathers and villagers, all the fathers and villagers believe in me Zhu Ping'an, and I Zhu Ping'an will live up to the trust of my fathers and fellow villagers."

Zhu Ping'an bowed his hand again.

Everyone returned the salute.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, your determination and courage to protect Jingnan are obvious to all, but the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, in order to avoid more casualties, now please be over fifty years old, go down the city wall; There are old and young, and the city wall is lower; The only child in the family is under the city wall; Whoever has a wife and no heirs shall go down to the city wall; Father and son on the wall, father down the wall; Whoever is on the wall with his brother, his brother is on the wall. ”

Zhu Ping'an stood in front of everyone and said loudly.

"Lord Zhixian, I have lived for seventy years, and it is enough, so let's let the young ones go down. Don't look at me old, I have a lot of kung fu, ordinary young and young, two or three are not the opponents of old men. ”

"Lord Zhixian, as the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, and our father and brother are only powerful on the city wall."

"Lord Zhixian, if we don't go down, we will swear to protect Jingnan to the death, and we will fight the Japanese to the end."

"Such a noble person as the county lord is fighting to the death on the city wall, and we won't go down the city wall......"

The people on the city wall said excitedly, everyone insisted on the city wall, and swore to protect Jingnan to the death.

In order to express his insistence, the seventy-year-old man blew his beard and glared, holding on to the battlements of the city wall and not letting go.

"Uncle, uncle, fellow villagers, we all see your determination and courage to protect Jingnan, but the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and the Japanese are cruel and inhumane, which will inevitably increase casualties; Moreover, the city walls are narrow, and it is not easy for so many of us to perform, so it is plain to give the Japanese a chance to take advantage of. In addition, you can also help defend the city under the city, and you can maintain the order of the county, assist in collecting and carrying wood and stones, and collect feces and urine......"

Zhu Ping'an had to persuade again and again to persuade those who were over fifty, the old and the young, to get off the city wall.

After such screening, more than 2,000 strong people were left on the city wall, although the number was not as large as that of the Japanese invaders, but it was enough to defend the city.

"Brothers, you take the risk to defend the city, I, Zhu Ping'an, have nothing to repay, but treat each other with sincerity. All persons are registered and treated in the same way as military servants and soldiers. All those who bravely defended the city were rewarded with ten taels of silver; Those who are wounded because of defending the city will be rewarded with an additional ten taels of silver; Those who died in battle because of the defense of the city were given an additional fifty taels per person. After this war, all those who are interested in serving in the county government and working as errands will be given priority. ”

Zhu Ping'an recruited literate officials and ordinary people to register and make a register for all the masses, and treated them the same as the officials and soldiers, and everyone also applied to the heavy reward order issued earlier, and also promised everyone that after the war, all those who were interested in serving in the county government and working on errands would be given priority.

Heavy reward order to solve the worries of the people; The appointment order gave everyone a chance to eat the emperor's food.

Originally, the people defended the city just with their enthusiasm, but at this moment, with the heavy reward order and the appointment order, the people have no worries, and there is more hope, and they are more active in defending the city, full of spirit, and high morale.
