Chapter 101: The Lonely City Envoy II

The fierce shouts behind him were very short. Zhou Chang didn't dare to look back, and desperately beat his horse and rushed towards Hancheng. When he came to the city wall of Seoul, he shouted loudly: "I am an envoy of Great Xia, and I am on a mission. Quickly lower the basket. ”

Above the head of Seoul, there was a commotion, and after a while, a hanging basket was thrown down.

This hanging basket can hold more than one person to rub it in.

Zhou Chang just entered the hanging basket, he heard the sound of long arrows shooting, the sound of sighing, endless, Zhou Chang lay his body in the basket and did not dare to raise his head, only listened to the sound of clanging, these long arrows shot on the city wall.

The walls were watered. Tough as steel, even so, these long arrows can be nailed to it.

There are also I don't know how many long arrows were nailed to the basket, and there were even long arrows pierced Zhou Chang through the basket. It's just that his strength is exhausted, and Zhou Chang is just breaking the skin.

Fortunately, the North Korean army above Seoul was fast enough. In just a moment, Zhou Chang was pulled to the city wall. Immediately helped Zhou Chang out of the basket.

Zhou Chang looked back, but saw that there were many iron horses under the city, all of which were Qing troops. And Li Baihu and they are all gone.

He sighed slightly in his heart, then put away his sadness, tidied up his clothes, held up a scroll of documents in his hand, and said: "Zhou Chang, the envoy of Great Xia, here's the edict, please welcome the lord of your country." ”

Zhou Chang was above the city, although there were some blood stains on his body, but he was calm and full of style, and he suppressed the Korean soldiers for a while.

In North Korea in this era, the upper-class nobles all spoke Chinese, so they could naturally understand Zhou Chang's words. So immediately a person who looked like a general greeted Zhou Chang.

Meanwhile.

In the camp of the Qing army, Azig was furious, his face was gloomy like a thundercloud, dense clouds did not rain, and he waved his hand.

Immediately, two pro-soldiers stepped forward and pulled down one of the leaders who was kneeling below.

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life." The leader shouted loudly, but in the end he was dragged down, screaming and ending his life.

The Qing army has strict military law, and there is no joke, since Azig has spoken first, this person cannot block the future people from Seoul, so he naturally wants to take his head.

"Do you know who this group is?" Azig asked.

"It's been checked." Tuhai said: "It's the cavalry of the Southern Dynasty. ”

When Azig heard this, his heart was shocked, and he didn't speak, but he said one after another: "How can it be the Southern Dynasty? ”

"Is there a mistake?"

Azig coughed violently, and everyone didn't dare to speak, looking at Tuhai.

Tuhai took out a handcuff from his body, the one with a wheel, and placed it in front of Azig's table.

Azig picked it up and looked at it, but saw that he was holding it

The three words "Li Wanquan" are engraved on it, indicating that this gun is owned by a person named Li Wan.

Azig didn't care who Li Wan was, but he knew what it represented.

One of the most elite firearms of the Southern Dynasties.

The firearms of the Southern Dynasties are better than those of the Qing Dynasty, this is already the consensus of everyone. Although after the construction of the Beijing Artillery Factory began, although the Qing Dynasty lagged behind a little above the cannons, it could be said that it was not lagging behind, but it was inferior to the Southern Dynasty in some dexterous firearms.

And this revolver is one of them.

Even in the Southern Dynasties the number was quite scarce, and could only be equipped with officers, with elite troops.

That is to say, the Qing court judged whether the Xia army could fight or not, just look at the number of wheels in the hands of the officers, the large number must be elite, and each person is a trump card. Moreover, these rotor guns are not enough for Xia Jun's own use, so there is very little outflow.

There are also some in the Qing army, all of which are in the hands of high-ranking officials and magnates, and they are all trophies.

Therefore, as soon as this fire gun comes out, it is simply ironclad evidence and cannot be denied.

Azig sighed slightly in his heart, this was the last thing he wanted to see.

Many grand strategies cannot be concealed at all, Zhang Xuan wanted to make a move in North Korea, but he smelled an opportunity in North Korea. And Dolgon's early countermeasures, although it is for North Korea's money and food, may not be that he sees the hidden dangers that North Korea may cause.

And the South is inserted into North Korea. The situation is completely different.

"It has to be fast." Azig said secretly in his heart. He swept his eyes and said, "Don't wait for the cannon, Bolo." ”

"The end will be." Bolo came out of the way.

In this battle, Bolo was with the army as Adjutant General Azig.

"You lead the troops to attack Ganghwa Island, and you must take this place. And blockade the coast, watch out for enemy troops coming from the sea. Azig said.

Bolo understood very well that it was not the North Korean army that needed to be guarded against on Ganghwa Island, but the Xia army.

Bolo said, "Wow." ”

"If you really can't hold Ganghwa Island, there will be no Korean Lee clan on Ganghwa Island." Azig said with a sneer.

Ganghwa Island is where the Joseon Palace is located, and there are many children of the Joseon clan.

Azig knew very well that the Qing court was unpopular in Korea, and since Korea had become a place of confrontation between the two countries, it was impossible for the South to find a tool to unite the people.

Although Azig knew that the Li family had been in Korea for hundreds of years, it was unlikely that he really wanted to kill all the Li family relatives.

However, getting rid of all the clans of the near branch can also create some trouble for the Southern Dynasty.

If someone else was in this position, there might be other options, but Azig had only one.

That's killing.

After arranging the affairs of Ganghwa Island, he swept his eyes over the generals and said sharply: "Attack the city today, find me all the Korean surrender troops, assign swords, and after the city is trapped, allow them to slaughter the city, if they can't trap it."

City, let them die under the city. ”

"Wow." The generals said in unison.

At the sound of Azig's order, a large number of Korean prisoners were taken to the ice and snow, given food, and weapons, waiting for a fierce battle.

Even more sad is that on the land of North Korea. The people who fight are all North Koreans, but the protagonists are outsiders.

As a small country, it is embroiled in the strife of a big country, and this is the consciousness that it should have.

At this time, Zhou Chang was about to go to see the king of Joseon, when suddenly a little eunuch stuffed a paper ball into Zhou Chang's hand.

Zhou Chang opened it in a no-man's land, just read it, then stuffed the paper ball into his mouth, swallowed it in a few bites, and only felt that there was a smell of ink in his mouth.

He didn't have time to take care of it.

His brain kept spinning, and the first thing he thought about was who gave him this thing.

On it is written the name of the pro-Qing faction of the Korean minister.

Zhou Chang only swept around, and he already knew who it was, of course, it was the king of the court.

If it weren't for the king of Joseon, he would have been able to summon him kung fu and stuff him with such a piece of paper. Then it shows that this Joseon king can't even control his own court.

Such a king is simply a waste.

Zhou Chang suddenly had an idea in his heart.

After a while, a eunuch came over step by step, came to Zhou Chang's side, and said, "My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”

He walked all the way and found that the palace buildings of the Korean Kingdom had a Tang style. Before coming to a large hall. Someone immediately stepped forward to search the body.

Zhou Chang said: "I am a messenger of Great Xia, how can I be humiliated? ”

The two Korean soldiers didn't dare to lose weight, and it seemed that one of them came over and whispered something. They quietly retreated.

The doors on both sides were opened left and right, and as soon as Zhou Chang came in, countless people's eyes were cast on Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang's gaze swept over everyone.

I saw that many Korean ministers were kneeling on the ground, and there was a passage more than a foot wide in the middle. And the situation here has the style of the Tang and Han dynasties, which means that everyone took off their shoes and walked on the big point in white socks, and Zhou Chang also followed the customs, but Zhou Chang killed all the way from Jianghua Island, and after taking off his boots, what did it taste? It's not much to say. It's just that at this time, no one pays attention to this small detail.

Zhou Chang took off his shoes and walked on the floor, stepped forward and bowed and said, "The foreign minister greets the king of Joseon," then stood up straight and said indifferently: "Please also ask the king of Joseon to accept the decree." ”

As soon as Zhou Chang said this, someone immediately said: "Presumptuous, rude." Your Majesty, this man is extremely rebellious. I also ask Your Majesty to expel this person. ”

Zhou Chang said: "Who is this adult? ”

"Under the gold self-point." The old minister said.

The pupils of Zhou Chang's eyes shrank slightly, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, it's him." ”
