Chapter 27: Heading to Seoul

"General Quan! The four hundred rifles I promised you are ready, and you can send someone to fetch them now. I see that your army's equipment is really rudimentary, so what do you think, I'll give you another hundred rifles? As for the bullets, I can give you 25,000 rounds for the time being, what do you think? Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir!" Quan Qizhun hurriedly thanked him, "Don't worry, my lord, I will immediately select elite soldiers and step up training, and I will definitely not miss a big event." ”

Ren Chao smiled and nodded, "I can only transfer twenty officers to you for the time being to help you train, the war is urgent, I hope you can seize the time and do your best to improve your combat effectiveness!" I will immediately go to the court and allocate more ordnance to you. ”

"Thank you so much on behalf of the Korean people!" Quan Qizhun said and bowed deeply to Ren Chao.

Ren Chao stretched out his hand and gently helped Quan Qizhun up and said with a smile, "General Quan is too polite!" The two then chatted for a while, and Quan got up to say goodbye.

After Quan Hyun left, Ren Chao thought about it carefully, it was only the beginning of August, and according to historical records, the Battle of Pyongyang only began in mid-September, and until October 15, Pyongyang fell, and the whole battle lasted for a whole month. In the month and a half from August to mid-September, although the two sides formally declared war, there was no substantive exchange of fire. In other words, during this month and a half, in fact, both sides were busy deploying troops. A month and a half! I can't just wait! What's more, after the outbreak of the Battle of Pyongyang, it may be too late. No way! If you want to completely change this history, you must strike first!

"Big Bull!" Ren Chao shouted casually.

"Lord Hui, you sent a big cow to Pyongyang, and you haven't come back yet." A pro-soldier hurriedly reminded.

"Oh! I forgot about it! Ren Chao patted his forehead and said with a wry smile. A few days ago, Ren Chao sent Da Niu to North Korea secretly, asking to see Nie Shicheng, and reporting to him the achievements of the Tiger Ben Army during this time. The reason why Ren Chao did this was that he hoped to be able to get through Nie Shicheng's relationship, play the Qing court, and find an official position for himself. After all, he is a self-appointed general, and his name is not right, once he lets that group of Goryeo sticks know, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble, not that Ren Chao himself covets the official position of the Qing Dynasty. He has a system, as long as he concentrates on development, it will be easy to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish himself as the king in the future, will Ren Chao still care about a small official position given by the Qing Dynasty? It's just that Ren Chao needs such a formal identity now, so he will go to such great lengths.

"Whoever, bring me the map." Ren Chao commanded casually.

"Yes!" The soldier answered, and laid a map on the table.

Ren Chao looked at the map in front of him and shook his head dissatisfied, "What kind of broken map is so rough, the elf opened the electronic map for me." As soon as Ren Chao's voice fell, a huge electronic map appeared in front of Ren Chao, of course, such a map can only be seen by Ren Chao alone.

"It's still a map that looks comfortable!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes unconsciously aimed at Seoul, "Now the little devils are concentrated in Seoul and its surrounding areas, if you don't add a little chaos to them, won't Lao Tzu come for nothing!" Ren Chao stared at the map and said to himself.

Ren Chao turned his head and glanced at the soldiers who were waiting under the tent, "Have the brothers who went to Seoul to inquire about the news come back?" ”

"Lord Hui, I haven't come back yet!" The soldier said respectfully.

"Yes! If they come back, let them come to me immediately. Ren Chao commanded casually.

"Yes!"

"! In this era, communications were too underdeveloped. Not to mention a phone call, there is not even a wireless telegraphy, and the transmission of information can only rely on people! Ren Chao couldn't help but complain. In fact, at that time, wireless telegraph technology was still in the research stage, and cable telegraphy had already existed, but in North Korea, a poor and remote place, there were indeed not many places to telegraph, and the telegraph lines were naturally all in the hands of the government, and the intelligence spies sent by Ren Chao naturally could not be used.

Early the next morning, Ren Chao called Quan Zhun over again, "General Quan, I plan to go to Seoul recently to inquire about the news of the Japanese army, so I hope to get the general's help!" Help us infiltrate Seoul. ”

"Now that Seoul has been occupied by the Japanese invaders, you must not be in danger! In case something happens, it's too late to regret it! Quan Qizhun hurriedly dissuaded.

"General Quan doesn't have to worry, I have my own measure!" Ren Chao said with a smile, "I still have important tasks to do, so I must go to Seoul, and if possible, it is best to meet the lord of your country!" It's a big deal, so I have to go there myself. ”

"Go to Seoul! I also want to meet the courtyard gentleman! What the hell is this guy trying to do? Quan Qizhun frowned, secretly pondering the purpose of Ren Chao's trip. But seeing that Ren Chao was always smiling, he couldn't see any clues at all, but seeing that Ren Chao was still so calm, Quan Qizhun guessed that Ren Chao should have been prepared, and there should be no danger in this trip, thinking of this, Quan Qizhun sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then Quan Mou will accompany the adults to Seoul for a walk!" ”

"General Quan is still here to contact the rebels from all walks of life, if you accompany me to Seoul, will it delay the big event?" Ren Chao asked with a smile.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I'll go back and explain to a few of my generals, and that's it! I just don't know how long it will take for adults? Jeon asked tentatively.

"It shouldn't take much time, no more than ten days at most, if it's one qiē shun lì, maybe five days is enough!" Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Yes! No problem! Quan Junjun thought for a while and nodded and said, "I just don't know when the adults will leave?" ”

"Tonight, but this time we're operating in secret, the fewer people who know, the better!" Ren Chao suddenly straightened his face and said sternly.

"I understand, can you sue a few of my cronies?" Jeon asked tentatively.

"Can't! You can tell them that this time you are going to a port on the coast to receive a shipment of arms. Ren Chao shook his head and said, and then threw out a carrot to Quan Qizhun "After the matter is completed, I will send you another batch of arms?" ”

"Please rest assured, Quan will do his best to assist you in completing this mission!" Quan Xuan was overjoyed, patted his chest and promised, "I'll go back and explain, and I'll accompany the adults to set off in the evening." ”
