Chapter 122: Excuse for Delay

"Nie Junmen is still used to living in Seoul these days? The lowly military affairs are busy, and if you don't take care of them, you hope that the military will forgive your sins! Ren Chao apologized to Nie Shicheng. It has been a few days since Nie Shicheng arrived in Seoul, and most of the time Ren Chao has avoided him on the grounds that he is busy with military affairs. Occasionally, when I have time, I just take Nie Shicheng around Seoul to visit the customs of North Korea, and never mention entering Beijing. Nie Shicheng has hinted many times, and he has also been taken by Ren Chao's words intentionally or unintentionally, Ren Chao has only one purpose, that is, to delay time as much as possible.

"Brother Ren is too polite, I'm bothered to bother, to be honest, I've never had such a leisurely life." Nie Shicheng laughed, but then his face changed, his face showed a sad look, and he sighed helplessly and said, "It's just that my brother and I have a holy order, but it has been a few days since I arrived in Seoul, but I have done nothing, and I have a holy grace!" ”

"Where to talk about this, the military gate fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the front line, and made outstanding achievements, this is a thing that is obvious to all, it is not that someone in the court deliberately slandered the military gate, these traitors are really hateful, but the military gate does not have to worry, I believe in my emperor Shengming, and he will return the innocence of the military gate." Ren Chao deliberately pretended to be indignant and said.

Ren Chao directly pretended to be stupid, which made Nie Shi grit his teeth angrily, and secretly scolded Ren Chao for being shameless in his heart. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Nie Shicheng looked down on Ren Chao, after all, a few months ago, Ren Chao was still a small chief under Nie Shicheng, but now he is on the rise, and the official worships the post of the second rank of the general soldier, although Ren Chao's record makes Nie Shicheng admire, but in Nie Shicheng's eyes, Ren Chao is just a nouveau riche who got rich overnight, and now this nouveau riche is pretending to be stupid in front of him, Nie Shicheng is angry in his heart.

Nie Shicheng put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Ren, you and I are also old acquaintances, if you have anything to say, brother, I will say it directly." Brother, I came to the court this time, and I have a holy order, and what my brother is doing now really makes my brother and me embarrassed! There are no outsiders here today, only you and my brothers, you and my brother have a good idea, are you unwilling to go to Beijing to face the saint? ”

Ren Chao immediately stood up when he heard this, and said with a frightened face, "Why did the military gate say this? The emperor's grace summoned the standard to enter the Beijing face saint, what a glory this is, the mark is eager to grow wings and fly to Beijing face the saint! It's just that in recent days, the Japanese army has been busy, and the standard has been busy sorting out military affairs, so that the military gate can take over, and the standard can enter Beijing as soon as possible. Now that the military gate has said this, didn't he push the mark into the fire pit? The crime of resisting the decree cannot be afforded. ”

"Brother, don't blame, it's my slip of the tongue for a while, and I hope that the virtuous brother is not to blame, and the one who forgives the foolish brother is not." Seeing this, Nie Shicheng hurriedly got up to make amends, although Ren Chao was Nie Shicheng's subordinate, but now that the sun is in full swing, even Nie Shicheng does not dare to offend lightly, not to mention that Nie Shicheng is still thinking about how to trick Ren Chao into going to the capital, and he can hand over the decree to the emperor. Nie Shicheng knew that Ren Chao really didn't want to leave North Korea, and no one would leave North Korea like this, in recent days, both the North Korean officials and the main generals of the Tiger Ben Army have met Nie Shicheng, and they have also hinted intentionally or unintentionally to let Ren Chao postpone entering Beijing, Nie Shicheng knows that this is definitely Ren Chao's instructions, but he knows that he knows, and it is inconvenient to say this.

"In this case, then mark the immediate handover of military power to the military gate, and I will return to Beijing as soon as possible! To tell the truth, the standard is only shallow to learn, the emperor does not give up, entrusted with the important task, the standard is deeply inadequate, and now there is a military door to take over, the standard is unbelievable! It's just ~" Speaking of this, Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, with a look of embarrassment.

"Just what?" Nie Shicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but seeing Ren Chao's embarrassed face, he was afraid that things would change again, so he hurriedly asked.

"The military gate doesn't know that although our army won a complete victory in the Battle of Toshima, several of our army's main warships have also suffered heavy losses, and they are now being repaired at the Incheon wharf, and I am afraid that they will not be able to return to Lushun for the time being." Ren Chao frowned and said with an embarrassed expression, "And this fleet is only under my command in name, and its actual command is in the hands of Kun, if Yu Kun does not agree, I'm afraid no one will be able to bring the fleet back to Lushun." ”

"Could it be that he dared to resist the decree of Yu Kun." For Ren Chao's words, Nie Shicheng naturally wouldn't fully believe it.

"It's hard to say!" Ren Chao sighed and said, "The military gate must have known that although Yu Kun and the others are Chinese, they are all overseas Chinese in Nanyang. These people grew up in Nanyang since they were young, and they don't respect the king, so they may not be willing to obey orders! These warships, including the ordnance used by the Tiger Army, were purchased at their expense, and if they refused to obey the order, it would be difficult to do so! ”

Hearing Ren Chao say this, Nie Shicheng couldn't help frowning, if it was really as Ren Chao said, then this matter was really difficult to do, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Nie Junmen, don't worry, I will definitely persuade them to obey the order, I can hand over the military power to Junmen now, but I am afraid that the fleet will not be able to return to Lushun for the time being." Ren Chao observed Nie Shicheng's reaction as he spoke, only to see that Nie Shicheng always had a hint of suspicion in his eyes, obviously not fully believing Ren Chao's words.

"Okay then, but you have to do your best, Lord Nakado has sent a telegram urging again!" Nie Shicheng sighed helplessly and said, although Nie Shicheng didn't fully believe Ren Chao's words, but he didn't dare to force Ren Chao too tightly, after all, he didn't know much about Ren Chao and Nie Shicheng, and he was also afraid that Ren Chao would be in a hurry. In fact, Nie Shicheng also knew that the Tiger Ben Army was established by Ren Chao, as long as Ren Chao was there, no one could take away the military power of the Tiger Ben Army, unless Ren Chao was allowed to leave the Tiger Ben Army, but this kind of thing was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, the military gate will definitely do its best. To be honest, I don't want to stay in North Korea, a place where birds don't, so let's clear up! Ren Chaoyan smiled insincerely.

Nie Shicheng smiled and exchanged a few more words with Ren Chao before Ren Chao got up and left. Ren Chao deliberately delayed time and bought himself a few more days. The next day, Ren Chao took Nie Shicheng to the barracks of the Tiger Ben Army and handed over the military power to Nie Shicheng, but this was only a nominal delivery.

At that time, Liu Kun ordered the Tiger Ben army to go north to attack Pyongyang in order to eliminate all the Japanese troops in Korea, Ren Chao always refused to send troops on the grounds of insufficient food and grass and unorganized armaments, and after Nie Shicheng took over the military power, he also wanted to send troops north, so that the troops could be taken away, so as to exclude Ren Chao from the army, but he found that the troops really had no food and grass, and the ammunition supply was even more insufficient. The Tiger Ben Army has always refused to send troops, and Nie Shicheng has no choice but to give up.
