Chapter 1776 All responsibilities are borne by me, Zhu Pingan

"My lord, are you going to the city? That's great, can you take us with you?"

When the common people crowded in front of the city gate heard Zhu Ping'an's words, they couldn't help but become excited.

"Great, great, the commander-in-chief is going into the city, we are saved, we can go into the city together."

"Give way, make way, make way quickly."

A crowd of ordinary people became excited, cheering like a drowning person encountering a piece of driftwood.

Zhu Pingan shook his head, and was about to speak, when the crowd of common people saw Zhu Pingan shaking his head, the smiles and excitement on their faces withered, but regardless of disappointment, they all scrambled to cry and begged:

"My lord, it's really impossible. You can bring my baby in. My baby is only two years old. She hasn't seen this fancy world yet. I and my mother-in-law won't go in. I just ask you to bring my baby in."

"Wuwuwu, my lord, please bring my daughter-in-law in. I have long disliked this woman, so I will divorce her now. It is fine to let her warm your bed and serve you tea and water, that's right, that's right." , don't sell her to those dirty places"

"My lord, please bring my mother in. I'm an unfilial son. I've always been filial to my mother in my life. I have never been filial to my mother. But my life was given by my mother. I can't let my mother follow me in the house." This is waiting for death, I beg my lord to bring my mother into the city, and I will give you all the silver on my body."

The common people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, held up the milk baby, took out the money bag, begged in various ways.

"Fathers and folks, please get up quickly. I am not here to enter the city, but to send you into the city." Zhu Pingan hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man beside him, and said loudly to the kneeling people.

"Ah? What? You are not here to enter the city, but to send us into the city?"

"Come to take us into town?!"

"Really? You don't go to the city?! Send us to the city?!"

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, all the common people opened their mouths in surprise, with disbelief on their faces.

This is unreasonable!

No, Sister Li!

The Japanese pirates are coming, and everyone wants to hide in Suzhou City, which is high in the city and deep in the pond, but you don’t want to go in? ! At this critical moment, you are not here to enter the city, but to send us into the city? !

real or fake? !

Are you so noble? !

People looked at Zhu Pingan suspiciously.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let him pass! You don't care if he is real or not. If it is true, then we have met a good official who really makes decisions for the people. If it is fake, then we will not We are at a disadvantage, and when they enter the city, we will follow them in."

A man shouted.

"Right, right, that's the reason, let's quickly get out of the way for him."

People thought it made sense, and quickly opened a small path for Zhu Pingan, leading directly to the city gate.

"Fathers, folks, stay safe and don't be impatient." Zhu Pingan bowed to the common people and walked quickly to the city gate.

"Prefect Su is in the city, and Zhu Ping'an is here. I need to see you." Zhu Ping'an came to the gate of the city, raised his head and shouted.

"Lord Zhu, I'm on the city." Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou, poked his head out from the top of the city.

"Master Zhu, the Japanese pirates are approaching. Your Zhejiang army is not on guard at the Fengqiao Camp. What is your business here? Is Master Zhu going to enter the city?" .

Everyone in the city looked at Zhu Pingan

"Prefect Shang, my lords, I am not here to enter the city, our Zhejiang army will not enter the city, I am here for the tens of thousands of people under the city."

Zhu Pingan shook his head vigorously, stretched out his right hand and pointed at the people in the city, and replied seriously.

"Ah? You don't enter the city? Are you here for the people under the city?"

Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou, and a group of officials and soldiers were stunned. Everyone opened their mouths in disbelief. They never thought that Zhu Ping'an was not for entering the city, but for the people in the city.

"Lord Zhu, are you here for the people in the city? What do you mean by that?" Shang Zhifu asked hastily.

"I also ask Shang Zhifu to let people open the city gate and let the people outside the city enter the city." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands.

"No, no, absolutely no!"

"If the Zhejiang army under Lord Zhu's command enters the city, it's justified. Let the common people enter the city, absolutely not!"

"There are so many people outside the city, and they can't enter the city for a while. If the Japanese pirates come and seize the door, who can bear the responsibility? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Master Zhu, we have to do it for them." Life is responsible."

The prefect of Suzhou hadn’t even opened his mouth yet, and all the officials around him couldn’t wait to object loudly.

Shang Zhifu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a troubled expression on his face. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was self-evident from his expression.

"My Lord Shang and all my lords, please rest assured that our Zhejiang army will be waiting in formation outside the city. If the Japanese pirates come, they must first step over the corpses of our Zhejiang army. Plenty of time."

"In order to let the people into the city as soon as possible, I also ask Lord Shang to open a city gate in the east, south and north for the people to enter the city. Our Zhejiang army will assign 400 soldiers to each city gate to stand in line 300 meters in front of the gate, and swear to die. Stop the pirates."

"Our Zhejiang army is closely monitoring the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are still half an hour away. This time is enough for the common people to enter the city."

"With our Zhejiang army blocking the attack outside the city, we will definitely not give the Japanese pirates a chance to seize the door. It will not be too late to close the door then."

Zhu Pingan cupped his hands towards the city and said loudly.

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, Shang Zhifu was obviously moved, but the officials next to him opposed it.

"There are few soldiers in Zhejiang, can they stop the Japanese pirates?"

"The Japanese pirates came, and they ran away on horseback. Didn't they sell us? Also, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, please don't open the door."

A group of officials objected again and again.

"My lord, my lords, our food, food, and salary depend entirely on the common people's supply. How can we disregard the common people's life and death?! Now the Japanese pirates are still twenty miles away, and there is still time to open the gate to let the common people enter the city. Our Zhejiang army is lining up outside the city. Swear to the death to stop the Japanese pirates, and never let a single Japanese pirate pass the battle before the gate is closed."

"I would like to guarantee the head of the project! All the responsibilities will be borne by me, Zhu Ping'an!"

Zhu Ping'an pointed to the head on his neck and shouted under the city, the veins on his neck were bulging.

"Okay! Master Zhu has this responsibility, and I am still not eggless! My head is a guarantee with you!"

"Open the city gates! Open the east, south and north gates! Let the people enter the city!"

After listening to Shang Wei, he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and slapped the city wall vigorously. Regardless of the objections of his subordinates, he ordered loudly!
