Chapter 269 One word can drive back a hundred thousand soldiers(1/3)
The train from Seoul to Jemulpo is packed with people.
However, there were no ordinary passengers. This tram was carrying a Japanese squadron with live ammunition.
Outside the tram, two daring snot-nosed kids who are talented in arts pulled open the rear door window, climbed on the steps of the rear door, and hung themselves on the tram.
Because for a certain distance, the tram tracks and train tracks run parallel, so this behavior is very dangerous.
A Japanese soldier saw the snotty baby's proud face and shouted through the window: "Baga, get down quickly."
Another Japanese soldier said: "You stupid and dirty children, you will die miserably when the train comes."
Not only were the two snot-nosed babies not afraid, they stuck out their tongues and made faces at them through the car window.
Simply, this tram did not intersect with the train.
These two snot-nosed kids have done this before, and the trams and trains are not very fast, so they are very brave.
By the time the train arrived at Jemulpo, the two snot-nosed kids’ hands were numb from scratching.
I jumped out of the car and ran away without moving my hands and feet to let the blood flow.
……
The Japanese military's martial law has limits.
At least the streets are still bustling.
The snot babies at the pier are rotated every day.
This is a good job, because Mr. Zhao comes ashore from time to time, and there are always benefits to be gained from working for him. Zhao Chuanxin's salary is generous enough for them, and at the worst, he will make them happy.
"Xiao Ronner ate the scones bought by Mr. Zhao yesterday. When they were freshly baked from the kiln, they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were steaming hot and delicious."
"What's this? Mr. Zhao also said that he would let the workhouse take us in and we would have a place to live and food to eat every day from now on."
"Will Mr. Zhao come today? Don't let it be our turn. Mr. Zhao won't come to the shore."
"It will come. I have always been very lucky."
Just as he was talking about Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin boarded the dock.
In the whole world, the easiest thing to bribe is children.
A piece of candy, a piece of meat, a bowl of soup, a piece of cake, or even just a word of encouragement, they can go through fire and water.
It doesn't get much cheaper than this.
These two children were indeed lucky today. After Zhao Chuanxin came ashore, he asked: "What exactly happened? Tell me?"
"Mr. Zhao, there is a man named Li Xiuji who was captured by the Japanese."
"Do you know where you caught me?"
"I was taken to Kaihua Island, where the Japanese troops were stationed."
Zhao Chuanxin kept the confidentiality secret very carefully. He did not tell anyone about Ares Island. He just asked everyone to come to Jemulpo so that he could find them with his all-pervasive "eyes and ears".
The recruitment work has been carried out in an orderly manner these days, and various deceptive tricks are emerging in an endless stream.
He was not afraid that Li Xiuji would reveal anything to the Japanese army, because Li Xiuji knew nothing.
Li Xiuji is a person whose usefulness can be great or small.
It doesn't matter whether he is saved or not, but Zhao Chuanxin this time wants to play the same trick as the Japanese army, "buying horse bones for a thousand gold", and show off his muscles among the Ares Team and the volunteer group represented by Li Xiuji.
Zhao Chuanxin sat on the dock, waiting for the God of War team to arrive.
He asked a child next to him who had sores on his face: "What's wrong with your face?"
"Mr. Zhao, my face is frozen in winter."
Zhao Chuanxin nodded, and he had a bottle of "Shiseido" cream in his hand, and handed it to the child: "This is a skin care product for little devils. You may be able to cure it if you rub some on it after washing your face every morning."
p>
This is an ancient brand that has appeared in the last century, but the study of "cosmeceuticals" is only a matter of this century.
Moreover, it does not fall into the scope of "daily chemicals". It is a skin care product blended with Chinese herbal medicine.
The snotty baby held the delicate little iron box in the palm of his hand, feeling extremely curious.
His little friend winked, and the two of them opened the box, and one of them carefully dipped his dirty fingertips into it and wiped it on his equally dirty face.
In fact, people who have never used this product will find it uncomfortable when the oil sticks to their face.
But as long as you look at the exquisite and beautiful little iron box and the pattern of a woman with narrow eyes drawn on it, you will feel high-end and your face will not feel uncomfortable.
Another child seems to feel that his companion has benefited, but he is still empty-handed, so he is a little depressed.
Zhao Chuanxin took out a small notebook that he had picked up while shopping at the Lantern House. Inside the notebook was a thin piece of peony petal that had lost its moisture as a bookmark. He didn't know which spring the dried flower came from.
In this way, both of them were smiling, both had things to compare their values with, and discussed how to show off the rewards in front of other snot-nosed babies.
Not long after, the members of the God of War team circled on the sea and rocked the oar to this small pier.
After landing, silently go to an inconspicuous place nearby, squat or stand, trying not to show off your edge.
After waiting for the boats to send people all over, Zhao Chuanxin stood up and patted the two snot-nosed kids on the head: "You guys are playing here, I'm leaving."
He waved, and hundreds of people came out of the corner one after another and stood in front of him silently.
Zhao Chuanxin said: "Shenglie, you will lead a team in a while and ambush at the entrance to Kaihua Island. I will pick up the people. If the Japanese army chases them, kill them!"
Park Seung-yeol nodded, looked back and said to the members: "Did you all hear that? This is the first time our God of War team has shown its face in front of the Korean people. Who the hell dares to hold back and embarrass the God of War team? Don't blame me for being rude."<
/p>
Seeing the cautious but not fearful faces, Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Okay, I'll take the first step. You will divide into several groups and get in position one after another. Try not to attract the attention of the Japanese army."
Going to Kaehwa Island and passing through the bustling streets of Jemulpo, Zhao Chuanxin changed his clothes several times, sometimes wearing a traditional Korean white shirt, sometimes wearing a suit and leather shoes, and occasionally wearing a Qing Dynasty gown.
Gwangjin Fish Market, which was full of fishy smell, and Buyeo Station, a train that was under construction, took a long trip to Gaehwa Island.
There are coal and copper mines on Kaihua Island, and it will become a heavy industry center in the future. But at this time, it is only the beginning, and it is mainly developed by the Japanese and used as a military garrison.
There is a landmark building here - Kaihua Sign Tower.
This tower is a typical wooden structure lighthouse with a stick, which can be traced back to the Silla period.
Later, it was reinforced several times and increased in height to three stories.
I don’t know how many ships have been guided to the port safely in the long years.
It has withstood the storm and become a survivor in the torrent of history. Standing on the golden beach of the East Coast, it is low-key but cannot be ignored.
Zhao Chuanxin boarded the lighthouse, which was covered with dust. Apparently it had lost its original function for a long time.
From the lighthouse, Zhao Chuanxin took a rough look at the terrain.
There are not only Japanese military garrison here, but also villages of local Korean people.
In this village, every household hangs its painted wood carvings to dry at the door, and the air is filled with the natural sour smell of lacquer.
Zhao Chuanxin stole the experience from the weapon arsenal.
Of course he didn't know where Li Xiuji was taken, but he discovered at a glance where the Japanese weapons depot was.
Japan is a mountainous and forested country, and their buildings are usually made of wood, which can easily catch fire.
Therefore, with the advent of the era of self-heating weapons, their awareness of fire prevention is particularly important.
First of all, the weapons depot must be very low-key, without any features, and looks ordinary. There are no large windows, so the sun cannot shine directly, but there must be ventilation holes. The buildings are usually double-story buildings, also for fire prevention.
Where the weapons depot is located, multiple fire isolation zones are usually set up taking advantage of the difference in terrain height.
Generally, there are not many defenders, because too many will clearly tell the enemy that this place is important.
When they invaded China, they also built many underground military facilities, complete with vents, fire-fighting facilities and escape routes, which generally followed this idea.
Various characteristics allowed Zhao Chuanxin to discover this arsenal at a glance.
Zhao Chuanxin grinned: There are just too many people but few weapons, so we can replenish our arms.
Then, he temporarily forgot about Li Xiuji and sneaked behind the Japanese weapons depot...
Lee Soo Gil is very tough.
The Japanese interrogated him why he was looking for Zhao Chuanxin, and he said bluntly: "It's not for anything else, just because I admire him for standing up for his compatriots and resisting public hatred. It's a pleasure."
This public enemy is naturally the Japanese.
Therefore, the interrogator was furious and slammed the table: "Do you know where you are?"
"Haha, I, Ri Xiuji, still dare to say this even in front of your emperor."
"Hmph, do you know where Zhao Chuanxin is? Do you have any accomplices?"
"I don't know, and I don't have any followers. It's just because I admire him personally, so I'm asking around."
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine. If someone comes, you will be punished!"
The methods of execution were simple and crude, including hanging up and flogging, and waterboarding with a silk bag dipped in water.
Li Xiuji gritted his teeth, but he had no accomplices after biting him to death, and he didn't know where Zhao Chuanxin was.
