Chapter 23: The Qi Brothers
He looked back and found that Lu Yan was riding on a horse and whipping him fiercely.
Lu Xuan scolded him while scolding: "Who did you scold just now for asking for food?" Who did you just scold and let you go? β
As he spoke, he slammed his head and face down his body.
Although Lu Yan was dressed in civilian clothes, he did not wear the military attache uniform of the Ming Dynasty.
But from the few cavalrymen with strong bows and crossbows following behind him, he recognized at a glance that Lu Yan was definitely a military attache of the Ming Dynasty.
This made him a little dumbfounded, he was originally trying to be happy, how to provoke the military attache of the Ming Kingdom.
"Adults don't fight, don't fight, the little ones know that they are wrong, and the little ones don't dare anymore."
Donkey Face is a very discerning person, and he knows that his boss will not fall out with the Ming Dynasty military attache for himself.
What's more, he is still at a loss, I heard that those Ming people have been holding back their bellies because they can't borrow soldiers recently, isn't he looking for a reason for the other party to trouble them?
So Mazi immediately knelt down, hugged his head tightly, and then kowtowed heavily.
The other Korean soldiers were also silent, and they all knew the prestige of the Ming Dynasty officials.
Moreover, North Korea often promotes the domineering of officials in the United States in order to cultivate anti-Chinese sentiment throughout the country.
However, the consequence of the Ming Dynasty officials' dominance was that there was no, but the officials of North Korea were put to death.
Even those Korean officials were no match for the Ming Dynasty officials, let alone them, so they did not dare to resist at all, but feared that they would burn the fire on themselves.
LΓΌ Yan finally knew why the Ming Dynasty officials were so domineering, because the Koreans were too inadequate.
"Do you know that without the help of our Ming Dynasty, your North Korea would have been annexed by the Japanese Invaders, you know?"
"Do you know how much did our Ming spend on you to get rid of the Japanese Invaders? I'm telling you! It's 24,000,000 taels of silver! β
"It's 24 million taels! Even if I sell you North Korea, it won't be enough to pay it back! β
"We spent so much silver and killed tens of thousands of soldiers in exchange for you white-eyed wolves!! Just borrow some soldiers, you all push back! β
When Lu Yan thought of the current king of Joseon, the discrimination against the Chinese in North and South Korea in later generations, and the fishermen who were killed in later generations, he held back an evil fire in his heart.
He slapped the soldier fiercely, Zhang Xiaoyi and those Iron Eagle Sharps looked at Lu Yan with some surprise, they didn't understand why just one sentence caused Lu Yan to be so angry.
It wasn't until the little soldier was beaten to the ground that Lu Yan stopped, and then spat fiercely.
"You bastard, spare your dog's life today. Next time, let the official touch you, be careful that the official takes your dog's life. β
"Thank you, sir, for not killing! Thank you for not killing! β
Donkey Face hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
He knew that what Lu Yan said was right, if Lu Yan was really determined to kill him, maybe Lu Yan would provoke a burst of reprimand, but in the end, the big thing turned into a small thing, and the small thing turned into a small thing, and in the end, there was no.
And in the end, he died a very unjust death.
After pockmarked his face a few times, he crawled to the ground and fled to Mikushi Fort, can't he hide if he can't be provoked?
As for finding a venue, he never had the idea of doing so.
"Well played!!"
"Well played!!"
When those Liaodong refugees saw this, they cheered loudly.
As the so-called Hades is better, the little ghosts are difficult, and they, the Liaodong refugees, know the most about the hatefulness of these Korean soldiers.
These low-level North Korean soldiers are illiterate and do not know how to count. For these refugees, they look down on others and make things difficult in every way.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Celestial Empire standing behind them, I don't know what they would be bullied into.
"I don't know if the Lord is a military attache of the Ming Dynasty?"
At this time, a refugee from Liaodong asked loudly.
"That's right, this official is, he was a little reckless just now, but it made all the fathers and fellow villagers laugh."
Lu Yan said with a smile.
"Where is recklessness, the adults are really good at fighting!"
An old man with a gray beard laughed and said.
"That's right, these North Koreans just owe a beating."
Immediately, a large number of people agreed.
It can be seen that they have been harassed by the DPRK recently.
"I don't know what the adults are doing in North Korea?"
Someone asked again.
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I am very humble, it is a matter of imperial court secrets, please forgive this official for not being able to answer." β
Hearing this, these refugees couldn't help but feel disappointed.
But there are still people who don't give up and ask: "Is your lord going to counterattack Liaodong?" β
Lu Yan thought about it, and finally nodded imperceptibly.
Tomorrow is the time to act, and the Jurchens should not be so far-sighted in sending spies to North Korea.
Although his movements were light, the refugees let out a cheer.
Lu Yan said to them again: "Everyone, please bear with me, I believe that it won't be long before good news comes, and our Lord Mao will not disappoint everyone." β
Hearing his words, the refugees became excited, as if good days were coming soon.
At this time, someone asked aloud, "Do you want to take the family?" The villain is willing to sell himself into slavery and does not want a penny. β
Hearing his words, everyone reacted.
Of course, it is a good thing to recover Liaodong, but that is not known how long it will be, and the most important thing now is to fill your stomach.
It is not an unsightly thing to sell a military general into slavery in Liaodong, and the family members of military attachΓ©s generally have to go into battle.
And when they take office, military attachΓ©s will install important positions for their family and martial arts.
The most typical is Li Chengliang, Liaodong doesn't know how many generals are from Li Chengliang's disciples.
And among them, there is a well-known **Hachi, even Mao Wenlong has been used under Li Chengliang's account.
"My lord, do you take in the soldiers? The villain has practiced knives and guns since he was a child, and he can play a few tricks, and the villain is willing to serve under the adult's account. β
A few of them who felt they had some skills immediately shouted.
"My lord, do you lack a girl? Our second girl is willing to sell herself as a maid, as long as she gives her food. β
Looking at these ragged people scrambling to sell their compatriots for free, Lu Yan was completely shocked.
Although he had seen a large number of refugees when he fled, he never thought that manpower would be so cheap at this time, and he could buy a domestic slave as long as he had food.
"Get out of the way, and don't get close to the adults."
Those Iron Eagle Warriors faithfully carried out their duty of guarding, stopping those refugees who wanted to get close to Lu Yan, lest someone suddenly assassinate Lu Yan.
And Zhang Xiaoyi gave full play to the characteristics of the dog's legs, and kept scolding those refugees.
Lu Yan really wanted to take in these refugees, but if he needed food to feed these people, where would he get so much food to feed these people.
Although he has some silver, it is only about a thousand taels, and it is good to be able to feed a dozen.
It was at this time that two of those refugees came to his attention.
The two men are about one meter seven or eight tall, quite majestic, and look extremely similar.
It is quite conspicuous among the Ming people, who are relatively short due to malnutrition.
At this time, they also said eagerly: "My lord, our brother's mother is seriously ill, as long as the adult is willing to find a doctor to treat our mother, our brother is willing to work for the adult." β
"Who are you? You can know martial arts. β
Lu Yan said to them.
"The villain's real name is Qi Ah Da, and his younger brother Qi A Erju are Shuangshan Orion, not only skilled in archery, but also rough in martial arts. Just because my mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, she had to sell herself to save her mother. β
One of them hurriedly said.
Lu Yan couldn't help but nod when he heard this, "It turned out to be a filial son, and it was really commendable." β
He pondered for a moment, and felt that he should recruit some local men to serve as his men.
The system always feels a little unreal, and if one day the system fails, then what is good for him.
So he also wanted to recruit locals, on the one hand, to see if they would have any combat success in killing the enemy, and on the other hand, to prevent trouble before it happened.
"Give him your hard bow."
Lu Yan gestured to an Iron Eagle Sharpman and said.
The Iron Eagle Sharpard willingly took off his iron-tired hard bow and handed it to Qi Ada.
"As long as you can pull this hard bow, the official is willing to accept you two as the official's personal soldiers, and is willing to take out the silver taels to treat your parents, what do you think?"
Lu Yan said with a smile.
The pull of the hard bow of the Iron Eagle Sharps is quite huge, and the pull force of each one is not less than sixty-five kilograms.
Even with his physical strength, he couldn't pull it away, and if these two people could use this bow, he wouldn't mind taking these two people as his own men.
Qi Ah Da and Qi Ah Er glanced at each other, then nodded.
"The villain is willing to give it a try."
After speaking, Qi Ada held the bow in one hand, buckled the bowstring in the other, and began to pull the bow.
Only then did Lu Yan notice that Qi Ada was wearing an archer's wrench on his finger, and it was obvious that he had often shot arrows before.
Zia pulled the bowstring hard, and although he couldn't swing it as freely as the Iron Eagle Sharp, the hard bow was still pulled away inch by inch.
Looking at Qi Ada's blushing face, Lu Yan smiled and nodded.
"Yes, you've passed, give the bow to your brother to try."
"Master Xie."
Qi Ada hurriedly said, and after speaking, he handed the bow to his younger brother.
Although he was silent on the surface, he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Their brother is the number one hunter in the whole Zhenjiang, and he usually has a bow of 100 catties, and he is also very proud of his archery skills and arm strength.
But I didn't expect this general to be able to open this kind of hard bow with any of his own soldiers, you must know that this kind of hard bow is used for war, not just one arrow, it is necessary to hold this kind of bow and keep shooting arrows.
He estimated that with his arm strength, he could only fire three arrows at most, that is, the strength of the general's personal soldiers was far above him, which also made him much less proud.
Not to his surprise, Qi A'er also pulled the bow with difficulty, because his brother's strength was about the same as his.
"Then the official will accept you, Zhang Xiaoyi, you accompany them to their mother's medical treatment, and the official will pay for both the silver."
Seeing this, Lu Yan said with a smile.
I didn't expect to be able to meet two talents here, you must know that the hard bow is not for everyone.
It is recorded in "Heavenly Creation" that those who can drive 120 catties are the upper force, and more than 120 catties are tiger power.
The Upper Force is already very rare in the army, let alone Tiger Power.
So these two people are definitely talents, even in the Jurchen army.
"Thank you, sir!"
Qi Ah Da, Qi Ah Er hurriedly said happily.
At this moment, a big man said loudly: "My lord, if I can pull this bow, will my lord also accept me?" β
"Of course, no matter who it is, as long as he can pull this hard bow, even if he can't shoot arrows, the official will accept him as his own soldier."
Lu Yan said with a smile.
"I'll try."
The big man said.
Lu Yan motioned for Qi A'er to hand over the bow to him, and the big man picked up the bow and pulled it up desperately.
But even though he had exhausted all his strength to feed, he still did not pull the bow.
Seeing this, those Liaodong refugees burst into laughter.
Lu Yan and those Iron Eagle Ruishi were also embarrassed.
Seeing that he couldn't pull the bow anyway, the big man finally put the bow into the hands of the Iron Eagle Warrior with a flushed face, and then left the place in a gloomy manner.
This caused the people to laugh again.
"Which of you is going to try?"
Lu Yan saw that there were more than a few hundred people here, and felt that maybe there would be some talents inside, so he continued.
"I'll try."
Another conceited man stood up and said.
Lu Yan motioned for the Iron Eagle Sharpener to hand over the bow to him, and the big man tried his best, but found that he still couldn't pull it away, so he also left here in a gray manner.
Once again, the crowd burst into laughter.
A few more people tried it, but none of them could pull it away, and the refugees couldn't laugh anymore.
They saw that Qi Ah Da and Qi Ah Er could pull this bow, and thought that it was very easy to pull this bow, but they didn't expect that so many people didn't even pull this bow.
If a person can't pull it away, it may be because that person is not there.
The reason why so many people can't pull it away can only be that this bow is definitely a strong bow, so many people can't pull it.
"My lord, this is a few strong bows, how much strength it takes."
A big man asked.
"It takes more than 130 pounds of arm strength to pull this bow."
Lu Yan said with a smile.
Listening to Lu Yan's words, those who were originally eager to try it all stopped fighting, and the hard bow of more than one hundred and thirty catties was not something that everyone could pull out.
At this time, some people started talking about it.
"My lord, can your men pull this kind of strong bow apart? These shouldn't be the show, just put them on display. β
At this time, some people were not convinced.
Listening to his words, people nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the opportunity to eat mixed rice was gone, they were dissatisfied.
Anyway, how bold the people are, and the law does not blame the public, they all clamored and asked Lu Yan's subordinates to give them a performance.
"Hahaha! You bastards! β
Lu Yan couldn't help but be so angry with them that he couldn't cry or laugh.
But thinking that they are also poor people, they don't even have a chance to sell themselves, of course they are dissatisfied.
So he turned back to the Iron Eagle warriors and said, "Just let them open their eyes." β
"Yes, my lord."
Those Iron Eagle Sharps hurriedly said.
Meng Kuo first took down his iron-tired hard bow, and just as he was about to pull out his strong bow, his heart moved when he saw the Mikushi Fort behind him, and he took out a three-edged armor-piercing arrow from his quiver, and then aimed the arrow at the three big characters above the castle.
Then an armor-piercing arrow shot lightning at the three large characters above the castle.
only listened to the sound of "ding", and the armor-piercing arrow was deeply submerged into the string of words.
