Chapter Eleven
News of an explosion was spreading in Pyongyang like a nuclear explosion. The chief general of the Red Japaya Army and the favorite general of the Destiny Khan Nurhaci, Jialuo Baishan, was actually captured alive by the Ming army.
Zhao Shujiao was upset, his heart felt like water poured into a hot pot.
What a shame!
They also went out to fight, and they went out to kill more than a thousand people. The elite red-armored Baya La army was destroyed, and the general Jueluo Baishan was captured alive. What about your own side?
One Tatar soldier was not killed, but more than two hundred Tatar soldiers trampled him to death while they were chasing him. Is there still room for this old face if word spreads?
"Get out! They're all trash, losers!" He kicked out the soldier who had just walked in. There was a fire in his heart, and he was eager to vent it out.
"Sir, it's not okay for you to get angry like this. You are the deputy commander-in-chief, and Mao Wenlong is just the commander-in-chief. Do you still want to give him face for his subordinates? When you left Shanhaiguan, the supervisor said so. Enter.
The imperial army is under your control alone. Why don't we go up and seize Najue Luobai Mountain?
You send people back to Shanhaiguan overnight. Is it possible that the boy named Li dares to fight with you? If he really dares to fight with you, we have eight thousand brothers here, and he only has more than a thousand men.
This is Pyongyang City. After one round of his musket fire, we swarmed up and we couldn't believe that we couldn't defeat him. Anyway, your relationship with the Governor is much closer than that of Mao Wenlong.
I have inquired privately, and found out that the reason why Mao Wenlong was able to become the governor was all thanks to his uncle, the Chief Minister of Shandong, Shen Guangzuo. The Chief Minister of Shandong and you are not subordinate to each other, and it is unjust and unjust to interfere in this matter. The Chief Supervisor
He can't get through that barrier!
Even if the lawsuit goes on and someone is accused of being a rebel, it will be enough for this kid to drink a pot." The deputy general saw that Zhao Shujiao was in a bad mood and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Is this okay? You saw what happened last night. This kid really dares to fight for his life. If there is a riot, this is in North Korea. If the court blames it later, everyone will look bad." Zhao Shujiao thought about yesterday.
Li Xiao's fierce eyes made his heart beat. Maybe this kid really dares to fight with him.
"My lord, if he really dared to get angry, he would have killed your soldiers yesterday. That boy was actually just bluffing. Now you should take people to take care of his head, and ask Luo to pay tribute to the mountain. My subordinates will
If you don’t believe it, a boy with no hair on his head dares to fight with us in Pyongyang.”
"Is this possible?" Zhao Shujiao was still hesitant!
"Sir, don't hesitate. How important is Mount Jueluo? If he is handed over to the imperial court, wouldn't you be rewarded with the post of Commander-in-Chief immediately?" Seeing Zhao Lijiao's hesitation, the deputy general hurriedly added a handful of firewood.
Zhao Lianjiao was promoted to Chief Soldier, can he also find a job as Deputy Chief Soldier?
"Okay, just do it. Li Xiao's little bastard knows what's interesting. If not, hehe! I think his firearms are good, so from now on, everyone should be named Zhao!" Zhao Zhijiao had already said to Li Xiao.
They were jealous of firearms, especially those matchlock guns that were much easier to use than the Ming dynasty's blunderbuss.
Zhao Lijiao was certain that those who defeated the Tatar soldiers were those cannons.
Just when Zhao Shujiao made up his mind to have sex with Li Xiao, something suddenly changed!
Everything can only be described as ideal but skinny in reality. Zhao led thousands of his men to prepare to go out and snatch people from Li Xiao. Suddenly, soldiers came to report that the special envoy of the King of Korea, Hong Yihan, had arrived.
Why is Korean Bangzi here at this time? Zhao Shujiao is a little confused, but after all, this is the territory of the Koreans, and it would be inappropriate not to see him. He can only invite Hong Yihan in!
"I've met Mr. Commander-in-Chief!" Hong Yihan, who was engaged in diplomacy, was very good at making trouble and automatically ignored the word "Deputy Commander-in-Chief".
"Hmm!" Zhao Shujiao said "Hmm" to express satisfaction with Hong Yihan's address.
"I wonder why the special envoy is here?"
"On the order of my king, I came here to express my gratitude to the Commander-in-Chief. My king awarded fifty taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver to show the gratitude of Korea." Hong Yihan said with cupped hands.
Zhao Shujiao's eyes lit up, "It's a good thing to give money." Everyone came across the sea to fight with the Tatars. They even practiced their breathing repeatedly when going into battle. Words can no longer describe this time.
The difficulty of going to court is expressed once in a million. An unfamiliar territory, a familiar battlefield. For the sake of money, Zhao Shujiao no longer cares about the outcome.
To put it bluntly, who would come to this damn place if not to make some money?
"Thank you very much, King of your country. I am deeply grateful!"
"Commander, wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Hong Yihan said with a smile.
"Zhao is all ears!"
"The Tatar soldiers have retreated. It would be better to ask the Commander-in-Chief to return to your country. My king has heard that the Tatars are ready to make a move on the Liaodong front. I am afraid that in the near future, your country's envoys will come to ask the Commander-in-Chief to return the troops. Therefore,
My king has specially prepared a ceremonial process, and respectfully sends the commander-in-chief on his triumphant return."
"Teng" Zhao led the teacher and stood up all of a sudden. This was to drive him away. The Koreans, who had always been cowardly, actually wanted to drive him away.
Especially the word "triumph", they are simply incompatible with Zhao Lijiao. So far, Deputy General Zhao has not enjoyed the pleasure brought by the word "triumph". He has never felt the word "triumph", and the word "failure".
These two words are closely associated with Deputy General Zhao. He has never really won a battle in his life. When he was bragging to others, he often killed everyone.
"You want to drive us away?" Zhao Shujiao said fiercely.
"The main reason is that we are afraid of the Tatars invading the Ming Dynasty. Now the Tatars have retreated. The eight thousand tiger and wolf divisions under General Zhao's command are just a waste of food and pay if they stay in Pyongyang. My king has issued an order that each sergeant will be rewarded five taels of silver.
.Officers at all levels are also given rewards. We will never let Ming soldiers run around in vain." Hong Yihan said with a smile.
"You...!" Zhao Shujiao had nothing to say now. He was now preparing to bribe everyone in the army.
To put it bluntly, no one is willing to come to Korea to fight. Coming here is nothing more than making money, and now the King of Korea is willing to give money. Of course, there is no need to say that. Everyone is eager to go home as soon as possible. In more than a month
It’s Chinese New Year, who wants to celebrate the Chinese New Year in this foreign country?
Now if he firmly objects, his officers and soldiers will not agree. The Liao army has a tradition of mutiny, and these bastards will do nothing for money.
"What about Li Xiao?" Zhao Shujiao sat down helplessly. One person cannot touch everyone's cheese. But he still wanted to ask, since he is leaving, when will Li Xiao leave? If Li Xiao goes with him
, did you get a chance to attack this kid on the way? Jueluo Baishan is very valuable, at least it won't be a problem to remove the word "Deputy General Soldier" from his head.
"General Li...! Oh, Mr. Li's troops are temporarily staying in Pyongyang. My king also wants to ask him to teach me the firearms camp in North Korea. I think he can teach me in a month or two." Hong Yihan said with a smile.
"Oh!" A bold idea once again appeared in Zhao Shujiao's head. Since he wanted to leave, he would just do his damn thing and snatch Jueluo Baishan over!
"The Commander-in-Chief knows about this matter. Our army will prepare for two days. In three days, our army will set off to regroup!" When the matter reached this point, Zhao Shujiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hong Yihan. He picked up the teacup and prepared to see off the guests!
"Farewell! The rewards promised by my king will be given to the army when they leave the city." Hong Yihan said goodbye and walked away.
This errand was finally done. I originally thought that Zhao led the lion to open his mouth. Unexpectedly, he sent the general soldier away for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The king of North Korea, Li Jie, also wanted to spend money to give money to the gods. He originally thought that the Tatar soldiers would threaten his throne, so he asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops. However, he did not expect that these Ming soldiers were not very good.
In just half a month since arriving, the city of Pyongyang has been turned into a mess. Molesting women, petty theft, saping, and trapping white wolves...! They have done all kinds of bad things. Yesterday, they openly destroyed the palace on the street.
The two palace maids who were out inside were robbed. Although they were brought back after negotiation in the end, they had been tortured countless times. The two palace maids hanged themselves when they came back!
With such an army, you can fight if you can. The North Koreans also recognized it. The farce at the North Gate of Pyongyang was seen by everyone in Pyongyang. These are a bunch of losers. If they are expected to fight, it is better to surrender the city as soon as possible.
.At least the Tatar soldiers will be polite to Pyongyang who surrendered!
There is no harm without comparison. Although Li Xiao's troops came for a short time, they all stayed in the barracks honestly. The supplies on weekdays were provided by the North Koreans on time. Basically no one went out! Even if someone went out, it was right.
The people are also very kind. They also know how to pay when buying things!
Everyone in Pyongyang knows that the Ming soldiers wearing yellow-green cotton-padded jackets are good people. Those wearing regular Ming army uniforms are all bastards.
This can't continue like this. Ming soldiers have become Pyongyang's number one public nuisance. Some people have even said that they would rather let the Tatar soldiers come than let the Ming army stay any longer.
After thinking about it, King Li Zhu of North Korea decided to spend money to send Zhao Shujiao on his way. He didn't care much about the silver, because North Korea had silver mines. And the reserves were very rich. Even if the King of North Korea did not collect taxes for a year, he relied on gold
Silver mines can also live well.
But if the soldiers of the Ming army continue to make such a fuss, the people of Pyongyang will not be far away from riots. Considering his own rule, Li Zhu decided to ask Zhao to leave. This kind of army that can only eat but not fight can only stay.
It may be a disaster, but it won't do anything.
"At three o'clock tonight, we will raid Li Xiao's camp. Be sure to capture Jueluo Baishan!" As soon as Hong Yihan left, Zhao led the army to find the deputy general.
"Commander! It's too late. I just got the news. Li Xiao has entered the North Camp of North Korea and is stationed with 30,000 North Korean troops."
Chapter completed!
