Chapter 126: Assassination of Yi Sunsin (1)

After months of meticulous work by hundreds of craftsmen, the third turtle boat of the North Korean sailors was finally ready to be launched.

To celebrate this exciting occasion, Yi Sun-sin, a naval wizard who had been promoted to the commander of the Three Naval Forces, decided to celebrate with a large celebration of the launch of the turtle ship to boost the morale of his soldiers.

The celebration was set on a sunny day.

At this time, the season has reached the harsh winter, and the cold wind blows on people's faces, making it cold and cold. But all this did not affect the good mood of Yi Sunsin and his subordinates.

Since the start of the war with the Japanese invaders, the land defenders of Korea can be said to be vulnerable, and in just a few months, they have been defeated by the invading Japanese army. The land of the eight provinces of Korea was completely destroyed.

In sharp contrast, it was precisely the Korean naval forces led by Yi Sun-sin, who, under the leadership and command of Yi Sun-sin, flexibly responded to the battle on the southeastern coast of Korea and won many victories. This not only dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese thieves who invaded Korea, but also cut off the delivery of follow-up support for the Japanese army and slowed down the pace of the Japanese army's advance.

What is even more commendable is that Yi Sunsin's naval army shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army and greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the Korean army and people in the war of resistance.

On this day, Yi Sunsin got up early, had breakfast under the care of his subordinates, and after dressing, he walked into the big tent in the naval camp surrounded by a group of naval generals.

"Envoy Qi Command, the celebration has been prepared. Tens of thousands of sailors are eagerly waiting for you to take the stage to review! As soon as Yi Sunsin sat down in the commander's chair, a marquis of the navy ran outside to report to him.

"Okay, generals, come with me to the viewing platform and enjoy the majesty and heroism of my Korean sailors!" Yi Sunsin stood up and ordered the generals on either side of the standing.

"Yes! Please make the control first! The generals shouted in unison.

Surrounded by the stars of his generals, Yi Sunsin stepped out of the tent of the Chinese army and walked to the viewing platform built on the left side of the naval camp.

Walk 200 meters east through the neatly arranged cowhide tents to reach the venue of the celebration.

The route was already crowded with people who had arrived early from nearby villages to try to catch a glimpse of the majestic posture of the North Korean navy.

"Hello General Lee!"

"General Li has worked hard!"

"Long live the North Korean navy!"

"The Wokou will be defeated!"

Everywhere Yi Sun-sin went, the crowd of onlookers erupted in greetings or slogans.

Yi Sunsin walked like a fly, and kept waving to the onlookers.

After a while, Yi Sunsin led his generals to the viewing platform specially built for the event. He led his entourage to climb the wooden staircase to the left of the viewing platform.

Standing on the tall viewing platform, you can see the morning glow falling on the mighty waters of Jeolla Bay.

At this time, in Jeolla Bay, a radius of dozens of nautical miles, there are sail shadows, tree trees, and flags for hunting. The two giant turtle ships and hundreds of dreadnought fleets composed of large board house ships and small and medium-sized boats and baozuo boats have long been quietly arranged on the water according to their respective positions.

The sailors standing on the sides of various warships wore uniform uniforms of the Korean navy, and all of them were in high spirits and high morale.

On the small island in the middle of the road leading from Jeolla Bay to the open sea, a huge turtle ship that has just been built is covered with various ribbons, just waiting for the time to be launched.

In the open space on the left side of the viewing platform, the sailors who were ready to participate in the celebration and performance activities had already been prepared, and they were divided into four teams according to the different content of the performance, and each team was dressed in red, yellow, blue, and green performance costumes.

These participating soldiers are all selected from the best of the sailors, at this time, they have long been unable to help the excitement and pride in their hearts, just waiting for the order of the celebration commander, they will have been rehearsing for many days of performance, vividly and vividly showing.

In addition, behind the performance of these four groups of Korean naval forces, there is also a long drum performance team composed of 17 young women. They were a women's performance team specially formed by the local people to thank Yi Sunsin's naval army for repeatedly defeating the enemy's army.

"Today is a good day. Now, our North Korean sailor has added another Shenwei turtle boat, and it seems that God is also happy for us! Yi Sunsin looked at the spectacular scene in front of him and muttered to himself with emotion.

"Yes, General. Our North Korean sailors can now be said to have high morale. We believe that under the wise leadership of the general, we will be able to completely defeat the Japanese army that invaded Korea! One of the members standing next to Yi Sun-sin, Fu Jiang, followed Yi Sun-sin's words and said.

"Alright, generals, let's sit down, enjoy the show, and wait patiently for the moment when our sixth Kamui Turtle Ship will be launched." At this time, Yi Sunsin was in a very happy mood, and he waved his hand to signal the generals around him to take their seats with him. Ranwen

"General Qiyu, there are six people dressed in merchant clothes outside the gate asking to see him, one of them claims to be named Li Ruzhu, and he wrote a note for me to give to the general." As soon as Yi Sunsin sat down, from under the viewing platform, a sailor soldier who was in charge of standing guard at the gate quickly ran up.

"Hurry up!" As soon as Yi Sunsin heard that it was his nephew Li Ruzhu who had come here, he quickly stood up and took the note presented by the soldier.

The note was folded up, and it seemed that the nephew didn't want others to know the contents of the note.

Yi Sunsin carefully opened the note. He could recognize his nephew Li Ruzhu's delicate handwriting at a glance. I saw that the note read: The commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard made Luo Shiyin arrive.

After reading the contents of the note, Yi Sunsin quickly turned to his subordinate generals and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, an important guest has arrived. Come with me to the gate to greet you! ”

The generals did not dare to slack off, so they got up one after another, followed behind Yi Sunsin, walked down the viewing platform, and rushed to the southwest outside the Yuanmen.

"Uncle, nephew Li Ruzhu has asked you for peace!" Outside the gate, Li Ruzhu saw Yi Sunsin leading the generals to stride towards this side, and hurriedly greeted Li Sunsin.

"You kid, it's much stronger than before!" Yi Sunsin picked up Li Ruzhu and kindly punched Li Ruzhu in the chest.

"Your body is still so strong and strong, it makes my nephew feel ashamed!" Li Ruzhu looked at the commanding uncle in front of him with a smile and said.

"Let's stop being polite, let's introduce me to Lord Luo quickly." Yi Sunsin let go of the hand that was holding Li Ruzhu's arm and looked at the team members behind him.

"Uncle, this is Lord Luo. I'll introduce you to the rest of you when I get the chance. Li Ruzhu led Li Sunsin to the team members and introduced.

Obviously, Li Ruzhu didn't want to reveal the identities of each team member in too much detail in front of Yi Sunsin's generals.

"Oh, Lord Luo came to the camp in person, Li has missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Li Sunsin glanced at the commander of the Ming brocade guard in front of him, and couldn't help but feel respect in his heart, and hurriedly led the generals to come forward to salute.

Luo Shiyin heard Li Ruzhu talk about the relationship between him and Yi Sunsin's uncle and nephew. Needless to say, he had already judged from the title of Li Ruzhu to the person in front of him that the old general in front of him, who had reached the age of the Mandate of Heaven and was still in good health, was Li Sunsin, who terrified the Japanese army that invaded Korea.

Luo Shiyin returned the salute and said: "General Li has repeatedly defeated the Japanese thieves, which has made the Japanese frightened, and it can be said that he is famous. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name! ”

Shi Lang, Shi Tianji and others also gave their hands to give gifts.

Lord Luo is serious. Li was just lucky to win a few battles. If you want to defeat the thieves, you have to rely on the great help of the Ming Sect Master. Several heroes traveled long distances and worked hard all the way.

"It just so happens that today is the celebration day of the launch of the third turtle boat of our navy, and several heroes happen to come to the camp of our navy at this time, which can be described as double happiness! Come on, come on, it's not convenient to say much here, please take a seat at the viewing platform inside. Li prepared tea and fruits, which was simply a matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust for the heroes. After the celebration was over, Li held a banquet to entertain Lord Luo and several heroes. Yi Sunsin warmly invited Luo Shiyin and others into the gate and walked towards the viewing platform.

At this time, some sailors had already added six more tables and chairs to the viewing platform.

Yi Sunsin graciously invited Luo Shiyin to sit on the seat of honor beside him. On the right side of Luo Shiyin are Xie Yuan, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, Shi Tianji and Li Ruzhu.

The reason why Shi Lang asked Xie Yuan to sit in a seat close to the command room was entirely because of the need for the commander to talk to Li Sunsin.

Although Luo Shiyin at this time did not have many obstacles in conversing in Korean, Shi Lang still pulled Xie Yuan to his upper seat just in case.

Yi Sunsin's subordinates sat on the chairs to the left of Yi Sun-sin, in order of rank.

"Lord Luo, about the heroic deeds of the team you led to enter the dynasty, I heard Du Heng say it in general before. The detachment went deep behind enemy lines and galloped across the enemy, which is really a heroic feat! As soon as everyone sat down, Li Sunsin raised his hand and motioned to Luo Shiyin and other team members to taste the apples, bananas, grapes and other fruits on the table, and said to Luo Shiyin, who was sitting next to him.

"General Li has won the award. If it weren't for the great help of our North Korean friends, our detachment would not have been able to go so smoothly. And there are several North Korean friends who have given their precious lives to protect us. Whenever Luo thinks of these deceased North Korean friends, his mood will be extremely sad. A hint of heaviness appeared on Luo Shiyin's face.

"Okay, Lord Luo, today is a big day, let's not talk about these sad topics. In my barracks, alcohol is generally not allowed on formal occasions, please allow me to replace wine with tea and toast all heroes! When Yi Sunsin saw that the soldiers serving his subordinates were serving tea to everyone present, he got up and picked up the teacups and clinked glasses with Luo Shiyin and other members of the squad one by one.

"I don't know how Du Heng and them are now?" After clinking glasses, Luo Shiyin asked Li Sunsin.

"Du Heng and several other heroes are now on an important island with several of my men, and I will discuss the details later. They helped me a lot. Yi Sunsin said.

"Enlightening the commander, the auspicious time has arrived, has the celebration ceremony begun?" After Yi Sunsin and Luo Shiyin finished greeting each other, the adjutant general of the navy, who had been standing on the left side of the viewing platform and was in charge of directing the celebration ceremony, stepped forward to report to Yi Sunsin.

"Okay, let's get started!" Yi Sunsin commanded loudly.
