Chapter 1651 The last fight of the Ping regime

3 people is not a small number.

Except for world war-level wars, on any battlefield, 3 people are a large force enough to affect the situation.

But in the face of the current situation, the strength of these 3 troops is really a little weak.

The Ping regime obviously didn't think that the 3 soldiers were nothing, because they had never really faced the Ming army even once, nor had they really understood the strength of the Ming army's regular army.

This is a huge disadvantage for them since the start of the war.

But from another point of view, this is also their limit.

Apart from the inability to mobilize the necessary garrison forces, these 20 days are obviously not enough for Ping Qingsheng to obtain more mobile forces. As for the strength of the Ming army, the retreating garrison of the Setjin Kingdom cannot give him a Clear answer.

He began to face a difficult choice.

It is to send troops to attack the Ming army.

Still stick to the important military places around Ping An Jing, face the Ming army in a defensive posture, and wait for reinforcements from all over the country to arrive.

After a short thought, Ping Qingsheng decided to send troops to attack the Ming army.

Many of his subordinates expressed opposition to his decision, and his son Ping Shigesheng was even more strongly opposed, believing that he underestimated the enemy, and the enemy in front of him was obviously not something that could be underestimated.

Although the troops are superior, it may take a lot of casualties to stop the Ming army's attack. The first time can be successful, but what if the Ming army replenishes its troops again?

If there is no reinforcements at that time, Ping An Jing will be in danger.

So maintaining a defensive stance is the most correct choice.

But Qingsheng Ping's explanation made everyone unable to object.

"If we can't defeat this Ming army, perhaps, no reinforcements will come."

Ping Zhongsheng quickly understood what Ping Qingsheng meant.

Everyone seeks benefits and avoids disadvantages.

In the face of such a powerful enemy, if there is no incentive to win, it is equivalent to coming to die, then how many retainers of the Ping family and local guards are really so loyal, rushing to come to defend the Ping family?
The news of the Ming army breaking the Settsu defense line should have already spread, and the surrounding areas will know sooner or later, so will they choose to take a huge risk to come to Ping An Beijing to support, or choose to wait and see the situation before making a judgment?

No one is more aware of the shallow foundation of the Hei family's regime than Ping Qingsheng. As the first quasi-warrior regime in Japanese history, without any precedent, without any institutional guarantee, it has been possible to maintain it until now, thanks to Ping Qingsheng's personal efforts. ability and courage.

It was not the shogunate era at this time, and the emperor had not been completely reduced to a puppet. In order to regain the supreme power, the emperor and the abdicating emperors were always thinking of subverting the Qingsheng Group and restoring their power and status.

It is in such a tense situation that Ping Qingsheng used the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo escapees to consolidate the foundation of the Ping Dynasty's regime in these years, and consulted them on how to establish a stable system of power and ministers under the condition of the emperor. .

The fugitives from the Southern Song Dynasty apparently suggested that Ping Qingsheng should follow the example of famous usurpers such as Cao Pi and Sima Yan and choose to ascend to the top of the world, but they obviously did not realize that the national conditions were different and the situation was completely different.

Although Ping Qingsheng adopted some of the suggestions and began to design a system that belongs to him, at present, the progress has obviously not reached the ideal position.

The essence of the Ping's regime is a strongman regime, and the core of the strongman regime lies in the strongman, in Ping Qingsheng himself.

In the face of the attack of a powerful enemy, if Ping Qingsheng cannot show the core competitiveness of the strongman regime, it is natural for the Ping regime to be quickly abandoned and disintegrated.

No one would want to save a strongman in distress.

The rulers of strongman regimes can only save themselves.

Ping Qingsheng, who knew the truth well, couldn't pin his hopes on the reinforcements. At this moment, the Ming army had already pointed his sword at his throat, and he had no choice.

He recruited Fan Li, Zhang Zeli and others to discuss the tactics against the Ming army, but unfortunately, these Southern Song escaped officials possessed good political ability and cultural standards, but they were a mess in the military aspect and could not be used at all.

And those who were able to escape here successfully were basically those who had never faced the Ming army head-on, those who had faced the Ming army head-on and had experience in confrontation, either died or surrendered, and arrived in Japan for the use of Ping Qingsheng. Yes, there are really few.

The few who had witnessed the power of the Ming army were so frightened by the Ming army that they didn't know how to deal with the Ming army.

Ping Qingsheng asked around, and was very disappointed that these southern Song Dynasty escapees and Gaoli escapees could not even give him an explanation for the thunderous Ming military firearms described by the soldiers who had fled back, let alone those powerful weapons. Big iron ball.

They are noble jinshi masters, not scumbags, nor lowly skilled craftsmen, they don't understand these things.

But then again, even if Southern Song officers managed to escape, they would only have experience in failure, not in successful confrontation.

In the three Ming-Song wars, the Song army has not won a single battle, but all of them were defeated. They were defeated at the touch of a button. There were few experiences of confrontation with the Ming army, and the few times they took the initiative to attack did not take advantage of the firearms of the Ming army. That is, the army is defeated like a mountain, and there is no way to confront it.

It can be said that Ping Qingsheng knew nothing about the Ming army.

On the contrary, the Ming army had a considerable understanding of the Japanese army under the Ping regime through the Skynet Army organization, so Kong Zhende dared to directly attack Ping An Jing with a small number of troops.

In desperation, Ping Qingsheng decided to go out in person, lead the army to face the Ming army, and prove his identity as a military strongman.

In this regard, most people also expressed their opposition, and they firmly disagreed with the idea of ​​Ping Qingsheng to attack in person.

His eldest son Ping Chongsheng knelt in front of Ping Qingsheng and spoke to him.

"You are 58 years old, and you are no longer young. Running around on the battlefield is no longer what you should do. You should sit in the rear and become our backbone."

"Do I still have a choice?"

Hei Qingsheng asked the attendants around him to wear armor for him - the armor during the war that had not been worn for a long time.

"Of course, you have a choice."

Ping Zhongsheng knelt in front of him and said, "I will go out on the expedition instead of you. The Ping family can do without me, but not without you."

Ping Qingsheng's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he shook his head.

"I'm 58 years old, how many years can I last? You're still young, so don't say discouraged words too early."

Ping Shigesheng insisted on his own ideas.

"I have never disobeyed your will, but this time, please allow my disobedience."

Ping Qingsheng turned around and looked at the eldest son kneeling on the ground.

"Are you serious?"

"This is my only request."

Hei Shigemori made a request in a standard earthen seat posture.

Ping Qingsheng was silent for a long time, and then asked the attendant to put his armor on Ping Shigesheng.

"This is the armor that has followed me many times on the battlefield. It saved my life. Now, I will give it to you, and it will protect you from harm."

Ping Shigesheng was very moved, and after putting on his armor, he bowed to Ping Qingsheng.

"I will do my best to achieve your goals."

"Be sure to come back."

Ping Qingsheng nodded and watched Ping Zhongsheng leave.

Subsequently, Ping Qingsheng ordered that the command of the [-] mobile troops was handed over to Ping Shigesheng, who led him to face the Ming army.

In order to ensure the safety of his son, Ping Qingsheng divided half of his elite escort team, and sent nine brave subordinates who had followed him for many years to be commanded by Ping Zhongsheng.

Charge and let them charge.

Retreat and let them break.

You must never joke with your life.

This is a war that cannot be defeated, and it is also the last fight of the Ping regime.

However, Ping Qingsheng obviously did not realize that solid armor can defend against the blow of cold weapons, but it cannot resist the bombardment of gunpowder.

Ping Zhongsheng died, killed by the shooting of the Ming army musketeers, because the color of the armor he wore was too bright and the style was too arrogant, he suddenly became the focus of the Ming army musketeers.

After the Japanese army collapsed across the board, Ping Shigemori tried to restore the situation, but failed. Instead, he was shot by the Ming army musketeers, 21 lead bullets were shot in his body, and he died of internal bleeding.

If it is not fully armed and wearing armor, the body can be shattered.

Of the nine brave subordinates sent to him by Ping Qingsheng, seven died, one committed suicide, and the last one, with a dozen or so remnants of defeated soldiers, desperately took back Ping Zhongsheng's body, and hurried back to Ping'an Beijing with three. The news of the annihilation of Wan Da's army.
