Chapter 26: The Eastern School Army

"Haha!" Ren Chao held Quan Qizhun's hand and laughed and said, "I know that General Quan is a hero, how could he watch the Japanese invaders rampant in North Korea, so I will not be in vain!" ”

Quan Qizhun smiled and said to Ren Chao, "Lord Ren, please take a seat, come and change a new bowl of tea for Lord Ren!" ”

Ren Chao sat down honestly and unceremoniously, and said with a smile, "Since General Quan has agreed, then let's discuss the specific strategy next!" ”

Quan Qizhun sighed helplessly and said, "I'm not afraid of Lord Ren's jokes, although my Dongxue Army has a large number of people, most of them are rabble, and on the other hand, the Japanese are well-equipped and well-trained. It's not that Quan is greedy and afraid of war, it's just that Quan feels that if this matter is not carefully planned, I am afraid that it will be a big mistake in the future. After saying this, Quan Qizhun looked at Ren Chao with some uneasiness.

"Hey! General Quan doesn't have to worry about this! Our Celestial Empire has officially declared war on the Japanese invaders, and large armies from all walks of life have gathered in Pyongyang, but because our army has come from afar, and it also takes time to deploy grain and grass baggage, so we have temporarily taken a defensive position, and once our army has gained a firm foothold, it will be the time for the decisive battle of the Japanese invaders. At that time, the general can raise troops to the north, and attack the Japanese invaders on both sides with our heavenly soldiers, so why worry that the Japanese will not be destroyed! Ren Chao said with a smile. But in his heart, he secretly said that this guy is not stupid, for fear that Lao Tzu will use them as cannon fodder. But since you are on Lao Tzu's thief ship, you are the cannon fodder!

"That's great!" Quan was overjoyed when he heard it.

Ren Chao continued, "I also know that your army's weapons are poor, this time I came in a hurry, and I only brought four hundred new fast guns, although it is not much, but it is enough for the general to equip a battalion of elite soldiers." "Since Ren Chao wants to use these Goryeo sticks as artillery messengers, of course he has to give them some sweetness to taste. It's like if you take a hunting dog to hunt and don't give the hunting dog some food, how can the hunting dog honestly help you catch the prey, of course, the hunting dog has to be fed, but it can't be too full. In the previous battle of Jilong Mountain, Ren Chao captured a large number of Murata rifles, and there were hundreds of extra ones, so he gave 400 to Quan Zhun, and Ren Chao didn't feel distressed at all.

"Thank you, sir!" When Quan Qizhun heard this, he immediately got up and bowed deeply to Ren Chao.

Looking at Quan Qizhun with a grateful look, Ren Chao had a cool word in his heart. "The general is gracious! In order to improve the combat effectiveness of your army, I can also select and transfer a group of outstanding officers to help the general train the new army. Don't worry, general, these officers I have selected are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they only serve as instructors in your army, only in charge of training, and will not interfere with the command of your army! ”

When Quan Qizhun heard that Ren Chao was going to send instructors to the Dongxue Army, he was worried that Ren Chao would take the opportunity to seize military power, but when he heard that Ren Chao later said that he would not interfere with the command of the Dongxue Army, he relieved himself and hurriedly thanked him again, "Lord Lao has bothered!" ”

"It's a trifle!" Ren Chao said indifferently, "There is one more thing, with all due respect, the Japanese have captured Seoul, and your court has become a puppet of the Japanese invaders. The sooner you start your army, the sooner you can save the king of your country, so I hope that the whole general will do his best to raise an army against Japan! ”

"What the adults said is extremely true, within three days, Quan will issue a message, announce the world, and raise troops to protect the country and resist the Japanese!" Quan Qi said conclusively.

"That's great!" Ren Chao said with a smile, "Now that Quanzhou City is occupied by your country's official army, I am worried that Guiyan Shiyong and his ilk will be forced to rebel against the Japanese and others!" I think General Jeon should do his best to take over the military and political power of Jeonju. Ren Chao is naturally not afraid of what tricks Yan Shiyong and others will play, and Ren Chao, the officials and soldiers in Quanzhou City, have not taken it seriously, but it is better to let the North Koreans deal with this matter themselves, so as not to arouse the disgust of some North Koreans.

"Yes! It's not unreasonable for adults to take the lead! Jeon thought for a moment and said, "That's it! Early tomorrow morning, I will lead my troops into Jeonju City and take over Jeonju first! "The reason why Quan Qizhun is so anxious is also because he is afraid that Yan Shiyong and others will do something unwise and offend the Lord Ren in front of him, in case this Lord Ren gets angry at that time, pats his ass and leaves, then his own loss will be great, at least the four hundred new rifles will be gone.

"That way I'm relieved!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, and then the two chatted again, and Ren Chao got up to say goodbye.

Early the next morning, Quan Xuzhun drove to the city of Quanzhou with thousands of Dongxue troops. Yan Shiyong and the others panicked, and they didn't dare to open the city gate to let Dongxue Army enter the city, but under Ren Chao's coercion and temptation, they had to open the city gate. Dongxuejun entered the city and quickly took over the military and political power in Jeonju, Yan Shiyong and other Korean officials were also temporarily placed under house arrest, and all the Korean officers and soldiers in the city were disarmed.

Ren Chao stood at the head of the city and looked at the Dongxue Army who drove into the city, and couldn't help but shake his head! Nima, this is also called the army? Look at the clothes of these people, it is simply a beggar gang meeting, and then look at the various weapons in the hands of these people, the big knife and spear are also a weapon, and some people even hold hoes and flat poles! Can this also be used as a weapon? In short, Ren Chao really couldn't connect these people with the word army. Now Ren Chao can't help but regret a little in his heart, isn't he looking too highly at these rebels! However, thinking about the huge momentum and large number of Dongxue Army, it should not be possible to expect them to fight a tough battle, but it is always okay to wave the flag and shout and bluff!

That night, Quan Qi rushed to the station of the Tiger Ben Army and asked to see Ren Chao. "Lord Ren is really clever!" As soon as he saw Quan Qizhun and said, "Sure enough, as expected by the adults, the imperial court really ordered the Quanzhou government to expel the heavenly soldiers of the whole state!" ”

"Oh!" Ren Chao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then what does General Quan plan to do with us?" ”

"Disposition? The adults laughed! Quan Qizhun waved his hand again and again, "This will seems to be from the hand of the Japanese Kou." , Lao Tzu just thinks he's a fart! In addition, the king of the courtyard sent a secret envoy to inform me that I should unite the heavenly soldiers and expel the Japanese invaders together! As he spoke, he handed over a superstitious letter to Ren Chao.

Ren Chao smiled and waved his hand and said, "I don't know Korean characters, and I can't understand it if you give it to me!" Although Ren Chao didn't read the secret letter, he thought that Quan Qizhun would not take a fake letter to deceive himself. According to historical records, before the outbreak of the Donghak Party uprising, Jeon Hyun Joon had gone to Seoul to ask to see Daewonjun, so some people speculated that Jeon Hyun Joon and Daewonjun secretly colluded, and the rebels wanted to re-establish Daewonjun in power, which seems to be true.

"I forgot about it!" Seeing that Ren Chao really didn't mean to read the letter, Quan Yunzhun put the letter away this time stupidly.
