Yi Zhi's newspaper office was the most hated thing of the two classes of nobles, and the newspaper attacked the two classes of nobles as a parasite of North Korea, publicized Li Zhi's achievements in Tianjin and Shandong, and dismantled the ruling base of the two classes of nobles from the perspective of public opinion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The two classes of aristocrats believed that as long as the newspaper propaganda continued for a few more years, Li Zhi would definitely eliminate the landlord class of the two classes of nobles from the economy.

So as soon as the two classes of nobles heard the call of the king of Joseon, they jumped out to attack Yi Zhi's newspaper office. Although there was no one in the newspaper office, the two classes of nobles rushed into the courtyard with torches. They couldn't find the newspaper staff to vent their anger, so they began to set fire to the newspaper building with torches, trying to burn down the building to relieve their hatred.

The wooden houses soon burst into flames, spitting out raging flames. Eventually, the entire courtyard turned into a sea of fire, illuminating the night sky of Seoul with great brightness.

Lei San, the commander of the Tiger Army, stood in a small bay north of Seoul, surrounded by 200 soldiers of the "Great Han Company" stationed in Seoul and members of the "Chosun Ilbo" newspaper office who had urgently withdrawn from Seoul.

The steamer that came to meet Lei San was already docked in the sea two miles away, and five sampan boats were docked in the bay, and Lei San's troops could board and leave Korea at any time.

But Lei San is still waiting for the arrival of several key figures.

Not long after, three secret guards dressed in Flying Fish suits rushed towards them from the south. The three horses rode fast, as if there were pursuers behind them, and as if they were afraid that Lei San would leave early and throw them in North Korea. Seeing that Lei San was still waiting for them in the bay, the three guards were relieved, rode up to the soldiers, and jumped off their horses.

Lei San walked up and asked, "Three brocade envoys, have you got the news?" ”

Commander Han Jinxin's secret guard system regarded itself as a brocade guard, and if the people under Li Zhi's leadership respected the secret guard as "brocade envoy", it would make the secret guard feel that his face was bright.

One of the secret guards wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Don't worry, company commander, we have bought the exact information." ”

Lei San was straight to the point and asked, "How many people are that?" ”

The secret guard said: "The two classes of nobles in the south of Korea can be said to have poured out of the nest this time, bringing out a large number of family members. These families have brought their own weapons and are now gathering in Seoul. We bribed the officials of the military department of the Korean parliament to get an estimate. ”

"I am afraid that there are more than 150,000 North Korean family members who have assembled into an army this time."

Hearing this number, Lei San's face was solemn. The Tiger Ben army has to fight against thieves and gentry in the south, and now there are more than 150,000 Koreans in the north, how can this battle be fought?

However, Lei San is only a special company commander stationed in Seoul, and how to fight is not a concern for people of Lei San's level. Since Lei San has obtained an estimate of North Korea's military strength, he will not be able to live up to the trip. He waved his hand, "Get on board!" ”

The soldiers rushed out, jumped on the sampan boats, and began to evacuate the Korean Peninsula.

A soldier reluctantly looked back at the North Korean coastline, and his movements on board were a little slower. His movements resonated with the other soldiers, who all looked at the Korean mountains and rivers in the distance, their eyes full of pity.

Seeing that the scene was a little dull, Lei San said loudly: "Don't worry, we will be back soon!" ”

Li Zhi sat in the county office of Yi County, and the generals on both sides sat on the front line.

Yi County is located in the southern part of Shandong, in the middle of the South Route Army and the West Route Army. The reason why Li Zhi came to Yixian in person was to send people to the north to suppress North Korea.

North Korea suddenly raised a counter-flag, and the families of the two classes of nobles turned into rebels, and began to attack newspapers, press stations, and schools under construction throughout North Korea. According to the report of the secret guards withdrawn from the DPRK, the rebellion in Korea was ordered by the Joseon king Yi Ju, and now 150,000 people have gathered in two classes of family members, which can be said to be huge.

Ri Sik needed a force of more than 10,000 people to suppress these North Koreans and restore order in North Korea.

Li Zhi took a sip of green tea and said lightly: "The Korean rebellion needs to be suppressed by sending people from the Southern Route Army and the West Route Army to the north!" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xing, Li Laosi and Zheng Kaicheng glanced at each other, and their faces were embarrassed.

Zheng Kaicheng arched his hand and said: "Grandpa Guo, the front line in Huai'an is very tight, and even a soldier can't be withdrawn. ”

Li Zhi asked, "The Jiangbei Army is pressing very hard?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng said: "The Jiangbei Army is eyeing the enemy, always looking for loopholes in our city defense, if the troops are a little weaker, I am afraid that the Jiangbei Army will seize the weak point." ”

Li Zhi nodded and looked at Li Xing and Li Laosi.

Li Xing shook his head and said, "Big brother, the Chuang army did not storm the camp of our Western Route Army, but only harassed it on the periphery. It's just that now Henan is like a ghost, not only is there no drought, but there is also a light rain at every turn. Our soldiers and horses were protected by a canopy in the camp and could fight, and as soon as they went out and encountered a light rain, they were blinded. On a rainy day, the fire door will get wet, the powder bag will be soaked, and the rifle will not be able to ignite. ”

"We went out twice to attack the thieves, but we escaped because of the light rain. The thieves have developed contempt for us because we cannot fight in the rain. ”

"Originally, our 30,000 people could still contain more than 100,000 horse troops and more than 100,000 foot soldiers. Now the thieves despise us and cannot fight in the rain, and have withdrawn half of the men and horses to go north. It seems that it is about to attack Shanxi. ”

"If we withdraw our troops and horses, I am afraid that the thieves will send more troops and horses north to attack Shanxi. I am afraid that our strategic purpose of suppressing the expansion of the invading army in this war will fail. ”

When Zhong Feng heard this, he said angrily: "According to your words, isn't it that not a single soldier can be drawn? Then watch North Korea raise its flag and rebel and attack Liaodong Province? ”

Li Xing and Zheng Kaicheng glanced at each other and were speechless.

Li Laosi stood up and arched his hand and said: "Dongjia, if we give up the war on the Western Route and transfer the Western Route Army to the north to conquer Korea, it is okay. But then the thieves will sweep through Shanxi. When the time comes, the army will become a million, and I'm afraid things will be even more impossible. ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Laosi and took a breath.

It seems that things are trickier than expected.

Li Zhi said: "Okay, I'll find a way." ”

Li Zhi walked on the wall of Huai'an City with his guards and generals, looking at the soldiers of the Southern Route Army who had been fighting for a month. Everywhere he went, the soldiers who were on guard with their guns turned around and saluted Li Zhi, and Li Zhi returned the salute one by one.

Li Zhi came to find a way to transfer troops to the north.

He walked up to a veteran soldier and asked, "Soldier, how did you fight?" ”

The veteran saluted Li Zhi and said, "Grandpa Guo, each of our soldiers guards a battlement, and if the enemy rushes up, we will load the bullets behind the battlement wall." Once the bullets are loaded, stuff a little old newspaper into the bullets to prevent them from falling out of the chamber when firing under the walls. And then..."

Li Zhi asked, "How long does it take to stuff the newspaper?" ”

The veteran replied honestly, "Three or four seconds is what you want." ”

Li Zhi looked at Zheng Kaicheng and said, "In this way, the rate of fire of the soldiers on our city wall is about the same as that of the Jiangbei Army?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng said: "Grandpa Guo, there is no way to do this, you have to stuff newspapers when shooting down on the city wall." If we don't hold on to the walls, the loss of the battlements will be even more casual. ”

Li Zhi looked at the city wall again and asked, "Can this city wall prevent the artillery of the Jiangbei Army?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng replied: "It is better to have the protection of the battlement wall than not to protect it. However, the shells hit the battlement wall and shattered the debris and flew around, which still cut the soldiers behind. ”

Li Zhi looked at the battlement wall that had been smashed by the cannonballs, nodded and said, "It's time to eliminate the city wall." ”
