  Chapter 1795 Don't read, I am safe

  The sun was rising, the sun was shining, and everything was shining. The south gate of Suzhou city was opened. The masters of the military and ceremonial houses of the Suzhou government, escorted by more than 1,000 elite soldiers, drove more than 100 fully loaded carriages out of the city.

The carriage is full of slaughtered pigs, sheep and other meat, as well as various vegetables and fruits, as well as delicacies prepared by restaurants. These are the gifts and condolences of Suzhou government officials, wealthy businessmen and ordinary people. Several carriages were loaded with gunpowder and supplies such as sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal.

  Of course, there are far more things in the city to condolence and reward the Zhejiang Army.

Hearing the news that the government is going out of the city to condolences and rewards to the Zhejiang army, the common people help the old and the young to eat pots and pulp, carry chickens, ducks, and various agricultural and sideline products, and they have to follow them out of the city to condolences and rewards to the Zhejiang army, especially those fleeing outside the city. The common people here are even more active, and they are all grateful to Zhu Ping'an for escorting them into the city.

However, in view of the fact that the Japanese pirate army was still outside the city, they only retreated ten miles and did not retreat. Mr. Shang, the magistrate of Suzhou, tried his best to dissuade the enthusiastic people. Condolences, the rest are not allowed to leave the city.

  Originally, Master Shang of the Shang Zhifu wanted to lead the team out of the city to express condolences, but was persuaded by the officials with various necessary and sufficient reasons, so he had to appoint the head of the military house and the head of the ceremony house to go out of the city to express condolences to the Zhejiang Army on his behalf.

  In order to guard against Japanese pirates attacking the city, the gate of the city was closed immediately as soon as the military convoy left the city.

   "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the Japanese pirates are still ahead, let's go early and return early." The barracks master kept urging.

   "It makes sense, hurry up, it's not that we are afraid of Japanese pirates, but that we don't want to cause trouble for Master Zhu and the Zhejiang Army."

  The head of the room immediately nodded repeatedly, and while urging the team to speed up, he explained to everyone.

   "That's right, that's right, it's not that we are afraid of Japanese pirates, the main reason is that we don't want to cause trouble to Lord Zhu and the others."

  The owner of the military house thinks so.

  The group of people hurried on and on, and arrived in front of the Zhejiang Army Fengqiao Camp in a short while.

  Zhu Ping'an had noticed the reward army team coming from the city a long time ago, and sent people to greet them, and welcomed them into the Fengqiao camp.

"Master Zhu, generals, on behalf of Shangzhifu and everyone in the city, we would like to thank Master Zhu and all the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army for holding their ground, beating Japanese pirates hard, and protecting Suzhou. Congratulations to Master Zhu and the Zhejiang Army for their staged and brilliant victories. It’s a small gesture of gratitude from the whole city of Suzhou, among which 20 carts were entrusted to us by Mrs. Zhu, please don’t refuse, Mr. Zhu.”

  The owner of the ceremony and the owner of the military house came forward to meet Zhu Ping'an, and presented the list of rewards and condolences.

Zhu Pingan glanced at the gift list, and saw that it was full of meat, vegetables, fruits and other condolences. Li Shu sent 20 carts of things. In addition to meat, there were also urgently needed gunpowder and gunpowder raw materials, so he was not polite. I took all the bills.

   "Thank you Shang Zhifu, thank you all the fathers and folks in the city, thank you two adults and brothers for sending us condolences without fear of danger, we will not be polite." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks, and people accepted the condolences.

  Seeing that Zhu Pingan accepted the condolences, the head of the military house and the head of the ceremony room couldn't stay longer. From time to time, they looked at the direction of the Japanese pirate army in the distance, worried that the Japanese pirates who retreated ten miles away would make a comeback.

   "Master Zhu is busy with military affairs, so we won't bother you."

   After exchanging a few simple greetings, the two said goodbye to Zhu Ping'an, and finally left a beautiful sentence, "Master Shang said, if you have any difficulties, Master Zhu, please tell us as much as you want, and we will try our best to satisfy you."

   "Speaking of which, there is really a problem."

   As soon as they finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an spoke.

  The master of the military house and the master of the ceremony house couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to be so rude.

   "I don't know what Mr. Zhu needs our cooperation? But you want reinforcements? Speaking of reinforcements, there are actually not enough soldiers in the city." The head of the barracks was afraid that Zhu Pingan would ask for reinforcements, so he blocked his words first.

   "We don't want reinforcements, we want oil." Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly before he finished speaking, and said.

   "Need oil?" The head of the barracks was stunned, with a dazed look on his face, wondering why Zhu Pingan wanted oil? Is there no oil for cooking in the Zhejiang army camp? We have sent so much pork here, is there enough fat for oil refining?

   "That's right, please, the two adults, please raise money for us as soon as possible after returning to the city, whether it is sesame oil, rapeseed oil or lard, at least one thousand catties, of course, the more the better." Zhu Ping'an nodded.

   "What does Master Zhu want so much oil for?" asked the head of the barracks with a puzzled expression on his face.

   "I'm of great use, and it's a confidential matter. Please forgive me. Your lord will understand in the future." Zhu Ping'an kept this secret.

  Military affairs are secret, and the less confidential things are known, the better.

   "No problem, no problem, if you just need oil, there is absolutely no problem, let alone a thousand catties, even three thousand catties are fine."

  The owner of the barracks is just curious, as long as they are not allowed to send reinforcements, what is a mere three thousand catties of oil.

   "Thank you very much." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks.

"Your Majesty Zhu is very polite. If there is nothing else, we will not disturb Master Zhu and prepare for the battle. We will go back to the city, collect oil for you, and send someone to your camp as soon as possible." The head of the military room and the ceremony room The principal couldn't wait to bid farewell to Zhu Ping'an, lest the Japanese pirates make a comeback and they would not be able to go back.

   "My lords, wait a moment, my wife is in the city, lest she miss you, please send a few broken words to my wife."

  Zhu Ping'an asked the two of them to wait a moment, fetched pen and ink, without stopping for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote down lines of pen and ink.

   "Nian Qing"

   I remember when I was young,

  I love to chat and you love to laugh.

  Sometimes under the peach tree side by side,

  The wind is in the forest and the birds are calling.

   somehow fell asleep,

  How many flowers fall in the dream.

  —Don't read, I'm safe. When the battle is over, I will hold hands with Qingqing to enjoy the snow, and we will share our heads.

  Zhu Ping'an finished writing, dried the ink, folded it carefully, put it in a letter raft, and handed it to two people. Please take it into the city and hand it to Li Shu.

   Li Shu is almost full term, and pregnant women tend to be nervous and anxious. I write this letter to comfort Li Shu, so that she doesn't have to worry about herself.

"In addition, I would like to ask the two adults to remind Shang Zhifu that the Japanese pirates were frustrated in Fengqiao this time, or they may attack other city gates. Please also take precautions and do not give the Japanese pirates an opportunity. If the Japanese pirates attack other cities The gate, our Zhejiang army will send troops to attack the Japanese pirates' rear, and respond to the city to defend the city, and the Japanese pirates will return without success."

  Zhu Ping'an sent the two of them out of the camp, and before parting, asked them to send a message to Shang Zhifu to prevent Japanese pirates from attacking him.

   "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely bring the word to you." The head of the military room and the head of the ceremony room nodded again and again, fearing that Zhu Pingan would have other things, they couldn't wait to leave.

   The small poems in the article are quoted from Lu Qian's "Intelligence", fine-tuned.
