Chapter 49 Intention to Seek Peace
Seeing Wang Zhen looking at himself in disbelief, Shen Chongming said with a straight face: "If you don't want this good errand, then the official can let Zhang Chi do it, he has been thinking about this errand!" ”
To tell the truth, the reason why Wang Zhen is competing for the first place everywhere is because he is a little unconvinced by Zhang Chi, how can he say that he and he are both brought in by Lord Shen's order, why should he be inferior to him everywhere?
"My lord, you are serious!" Wang Zhen asked cautiously, after all, this is a good errand for prisoners, but he, the general who leads the troops, how can Zhang Chi be idle and compete for this errand?
"Of course, when you go back to the capital to meet the emperor to report the sacrifice of prisoners, you will follow behind the official, and follow the official in front of the people in the capital to report your name in front of the emperor, won't you be famous all over the world!" Shen Chongming said with a serious face.
Wang Zhen pondered for a while, and asked cautiously, "My lord, how do you say this prisoner should be held?" Although the words were not explicitly said, Wang Zhen had already agreed when he asked this.
Seeing him agree, Shen Chongming smiled again.
"The reason why you use your sailor is naturally reasonable, the reason why this official stays this time is that he plans to take Master Ma and three thousand men and horses to escort these captives to the ship with you, and when the time comes, we will find a deserted island to imprison them, and your sailor only needs to arrange some warships around the island, which is enough to keep them firmly to death, and there is no need to think too much at all!"
"My lord, you will personally escort the captives with the last general!" Wang Zhen said in disbelief, he originally thought that Shen Chongming had something else to do? I didn't expect that he was going to take himself on an errand, and it seemed that what he just said was true.
"Hehe, such a great achievement, if the official doesn't participate, won't you get all the benefits?" Shen Chongming said nonsense, the reason why he wanted to stay to escort the prisoners this time was just to let Xiong Dabiao and Zhang Chi make more credit, after all, the war was nearing the end, if he was not in a hurry, he would have no chance in the future.
However, Wang Zhen completely believed his words, and after thinking about it carefully, this escorting the captives was really a rare good errand, and according to the method of the adults, they were thrown on a small island and guarded by warships, isn't it the grazing of Mongolian Tatars.
I felt that it was a good errand in my heart, and Wang Zhen did it very hard, but he saved a lot of effort from Brother Erdan, and he had nothing to do, and his calligraphy practice, which had been wasted for many days, was picked up by Master Ma again.
"Shout, you kid will be busy when the time comes, are you busy writing family letters?" Sending Xiong Dabiao away, Shen Chongming also wandered around with nothing to do, and unconsciously walked to Brother Erdan's room, watching this guy pouting and lying on the table and splashing ink, Shen Chongming couldn't help but come forward and quip.
Brother Erdan didn't care, he pointed to the paper on the table with a smug face and smiled: "My lord, what do you think of this pair of words from your subordinates?" ”
"There will be the courage left to chase the poor, and you can't sell your name as a scholar!" Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Hehe, the official mentioned it casually, but you wrote it down!" ”
"That is, the biggest characteristic of the subordinates is that they have a good memory, as long as they listen to anything once, even if it is every ten days and half a month, they can say it word for word!" Brother Erdan is a person who can't help but praise, Shen Chongming's casual words made his tail rise to the sky.
"Alas! After leaving the capital for so many days, it's time to write a letter to the family to report safety! Shen Chongming ignored him, but sat there and sighed and said, how can a person with a family have less worry when he goes out.
Brother Erdan's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest: "My lord, you said that you are a ghostwriter, let's write a letter to the two ladies, and by the way, let Miss Xin'er know our recent situation!" ”
"Forget it! You can still write a letter to your Xin'er girl, this adult's family letter, you will start writing! Shen Chongming glanced at this fake public and private guy, besides, there are a lot of love words in his family letters, how can he fake his hands on him.
"Xiao Shenzi, this is to write a letter to the two sisters!" Back in his room, Shen Chongming had just finished grinding, and the voice of the little junior sister was yin and yang in front of the door.
Since leaving the capital, the little junior sister has often been by Shen Chongming's side, originally wanting to enjoy the time of the two, but she didn't expect that Shen Chongming's busy feet didn't touch the ground all day, and he didn't have time to take care of her at all.
Just now, the little junior sister originally planned to take advantage of today's free time to look for him to see the nearby scenery, but unexpectedly, she heard the conversation between the two of them in front of Brother Erdan.
It's a woman, after all. Although they were sisters when they were with Yan Yumeng and Wan Jiayi, but in the matter of Shen Chongming, a flowery guy, the little junior sister has always been more energetic in her heart, and she said that it was first come, first served, this was obviously her own wishful husband, but now she has become someone else's husband, and she feels aggrieved when she thinks about it.
Shen Chongming is not a fool, and in the past few years, he has been wandering among several women, and he also knows a lot about women's minds.
"Hehe, how can I have that free time, I'm not about to write an excerpt and send it to the capital to see the emperor and his old man!" Shen Chongming's face did not change when he said that he was flustered, and his heart did not beat, and he had already reached the point of perfection.
"Hmph, since that's the case, then let Master Ma write this excerpt on his behalf, it's been so many days, and you didn't say that you can accompany others well, and you have to take me to see the scenery here no matter what!" The little junior sister pouted and said, as if she had been wronged.
But when he heard these words, Shen Chongming was also very guilty, and immediately put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take you to have a good time today, okay, you can't shout tired halfway!" ”
"Hmph, even if you're tired, Lady Zheng can't be tired!" The little junior sister smiled proudly, stepped forward and pulled Shen Chongming and walked out.
Outside the city of Fuxili, there are mountains all around, although it is early spring, it is still barren, but with Shen Chongming by his side, all this is not important to the little junior sister.
Climbing halfway up the mountain, Shen Chongming finally admitted that in terms of physical strength, he was still not as good as the little junior sister who had practiced martial arts since childhood, but the little junior sister was considerate of Ailang, and when she saw that he was tired and panting, she immediately proposed to take a rest in the middle of the mountain.
The two of them were in love with each other, and the accompanying guards naturally knew it clearly, and at this time, they stopped at a glance, and they were very interested in scattering at that time, holding the handle of the knife on their waists one by one, as if they were seriously appreciating the nearby scenery, a desolate place where birds don't!
"Little Shenzi, the three-year period is coming!" Leaning on Shen Chongming, the little junior sister suddenly got up and said in his ear.
Shen Chongming was stunned, and the guilt in his heart was even worse, I don't know when, he actually forgot about it, but the little junior sister was thinking about it, but Shen Chongming's heart was indescribably sweet, and it was worth it in this life to have such a woman who cared about herself.
"Well, let's let the senior brother buy a dowry for you when you go back this time! My big sedan chair can pick you up at any time! Shen Chongming turned around and touched the little junior sister's cheek and smiled.
The little junior sister smiled shyly, and lay in Shen Chongming's arms with a face full of intoxication.
Escorting the captives was relaxed and comfortable, and Xiong Dabiao, who was responsible for the temporary commander, was also going well to lead the troops against the Japanese invaders, or did the plan not catch up with the changes, and when the news of the loss of Fuli Creek reached Kuroda Nagamasa's ears, he guessed what the next intention of the Ming army was after a little thought? When even the decision was made to withdraw from Ikawa Castle.
Otherwise, once the Ming army really bypassed Yichuan first and swept away the garrison on the front line of Inchon as he guessed, then Yichuan would be a lonely city.
But this retreat, Inchon could not be garrisoned, after all, it was close to the coast, and if the Ming army brought down the ship's artillery fire, the outcome would be even more miserable.
After thinking about it, Kuroda Nagamasa gave an order, and the remaining more than 60,000 troops from all over the country gathered in Seoul, the capital of North Korea, where the city was tall, the surrounding terrain was also conducive to defense, and it was far from the coastline, and it was not easy for the Ming army to transport their artillery fire.
And for such a long time, Lord Guan Bai must have reappeared to form a navy. Although there will not be many boats, with the addition of fishing boats, it is very promising to break through and retreat with their own men and horses.
The abacus crackled, but it really made Xiong Dabiao, who was eating dust and following him, difficult, and attacked for two days in a row, looking at the immovable Seoul, Xiong Dabiao knew that this method would not work, and gathered the generals to discuss several times without any result, so he had to be stationed outside the city and send someone to inform Shen Chongming, and now he is the only one to think of countermeasures.
However, before Shen Chongming arrived, Kuroda Nagamasa in the city received a secret letter from Toyotomi Hideyoshi: to negotiate peace.
"Well, Tokugawa-sama is really insightful!" Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu's handwritten letter, which came with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's order, Kuroda Nagamasa couldn't help but nod with admiration on his face.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's letter is not written in detail, but in a few words, it is the focus of this peace negotiation, how to make Kuroda Nagamasa not admire him.
In the letter, he wrote that even if he wanted to negotiate peace, he should also show the bravery of the great Japanese samurai, and only by making the Ming army realize that there was little hope of victory could they prompt them to sit down willingly, otherwise, it could only be his own wishful thinking.
Seeing that Kuroda Nagamasa was smiling for the first time in these days, Shiro Ogawa, who had been worried about his small life, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the Legion Commander really would not pursue his own mistakes anymore.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander, do you have any latest instructions?" Ogawa Shiro asked with a serene face, with a servile face, he swore to please Kuroda Nagamasa to the death, and he must be made to completely forget the mistakes he made, otherwise he was always worried in his heart, and he would not be able to live this day.
"Hehe, Lord Sekihaku agreed to my suggestion, and Lord Tokugawa also gave advice, whether we can succeed in the next step depends on our own performance!" As he spoke, Kuroda Nagamasa handed the letter in his hand to Shiro Ogawa.
Seeing his expression, Shiro Ogawa was so happy that he seemed to be really safe, and after reading the contents of the letter in a hurry, Shiro Ogawa knew that his opportunity to perform had arrived.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander, let Ogawa fight this time! Even if he dies in battle, Ogawa must let those Ming troops know that the samurai of Great Japan are invincible! Ogawa Shiro said murderously, but he was secretly laughing in his heart, how could such a good errand fall on his head, only Oshima-kun was the most suitable person, this point, presumably the head of the army knew best,
