Chapter 637: A New Opponent

Zhao Yun didn't guess wrong, although the conditions put forward by the prince were very strict. However, the king of Joseon, Ren Zu, still accepted.

On the one hand, it is because of the fear that if the war continues, North Korea will really die in its own hands. On the other hand, it was because of the temptation of the huge number of firearms needed by 10,000 firearms troops.

The representative sent by the DPRK, Mr. Wang, has just returned to Pyongyang for a day.

After continuous losses, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which had a total strength of less than 10,000 troops, withdrew from Pyongyang under the order of Zhao Yun with all kinds of wealth looted from Pyongyang in the past half a month.

When Ren Zu took 20,000 remnants of the army and finally returned to Pyongyang.

In front of him, in addition to the royal palace that was still intact, the city of Pyongyang, which was almost turned into a dragon city.

Ren Zu, who wanted to cry without tears, at this moment, could only clench his fists and scold the Tiger and Leopard Army shamelessly in his heart.

Of course, he also thought about whether the 10 million taels of compensation he gave to the Haw Par Army could be less, since the Haw Par Army had looted so much wealth in Pyongyang City and left.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, it was denied by Ren Zu himself.

You must know that although the Haw Par Army withdrew from Pyongyang City, it did not withdraw from North Korea.

The elite, which is less than 10,000 people, is stationed in a small town less than 50 miles from Pyongyang, waiting for the North Korean to send the silver.

It is conceivable that once they go back on their word, these tiger and leopard armies will not hesitate to launch a second siege and take Pyongyang again.

After his own battle with the Haw Par Army, coupled with witnessing the battle of the Haw Par Army to eliminate tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. The strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army has been deeply reflected in Ren Zu's heart. It is to give Ren Zu ten dares. Ren Zu also did not dare to be at the weakest time in North Korea. Once again, they are enemies of the Haw Par Army.

Because it is not a battle, it is self-destruction......

So, as soon as Ren Zu returned to Pyongyang, he began to loot silver in North Korea, which was still in his hands.

In his eyes, the sooner he raised 10 million taels of silver, the sooner the Haw Par Army, a formidable enemy, could evacuate North Korea.

Ten days later, Zhao Yun received the silver. There was no default, and he withdrew from North Korea directly with the harvest.

At the same time, a musket battalion that helped the DPRK train troops was also stationed in Pyongyang under Zhao Yun's order to help the DPRK select and train troops......

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

Zhao Yun, who had been on the expedition to North Korea for more than a month, finally led the army. Return to North Zhili.

As for Zhao Yun, he brought a harvest. Directly enter the city of Beijing and go to the north to collect Wang Wei's life.

In the meeting hall of the North Palace, although Zhao Yun sat opposite Wei Zheng, he was also a veteran brought out by Wei Zheng.

However, at this moment, not only can I not see a little of his usual unrestrainedness, but even a trace of nervousness.

After all, this was Zhao Yun's first solo action since he followed Wei Zheng.

If he can be recognized by Wei Zheng, it will prove that he is still valuable in the Haw Par Army, and he is not messing around with his qualifications.

Therefore, when Wei Zheng read the harvest and gave a very positive answer. Zhao Yun's face was directly covered with excitement. Then, without hesitation, he took out two million taels of silver to fulfill Zhao Yun's promise to his subordinates.

However, what puzzled Zhao Yun was that he originally thought that Wei Zheng would ask more about the negotiation process.

However, Wei Zheng did not discuss this issue much.

Instead, they shifted their attention directly to the battle between the Haw Par Army and the Wakos.

"Lao Zhao, you are the only general in my Tiger and Leopard Army who has fought against the Japanese Kou...... Based on your observations on the battlefield, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Bandits......"

"It's very powerful, and it can even be said that it is on par with the Golden Tartar...... No, it should be said that it is more powerful than the Houjin Tartar......" Zhao Yun replied without scruples after a short period of contemplation.

Then, what seems to come to mind?

On his face, which was still excited just now, he actually showed an expression of palpitation.

Facing Wei Zheng, he continued: "This big battle with the Japanese Invaders, if we didn't take the risk to take the initiative. If our Tiger and Leopard Army wants to destroy him, they will definitely pay a heavy price for darts, instead of less than 2,000 people now......"

"In addition, there is another very crucial factor why this big battle will end so quickly, that is, the Japanese are not prepared for anything, and they are too light on our Tiger and Leopard Army."

"If they know the true combat effectiveness of our Tiger and Leopard Army, they are well prepared. Well, we will definitely not win so quickly and lose so little...... What's more, it is possible to defeat us directly on the battlefield......"

At this time, Wei Zheng couldn't see the smile on his face just now.

On his solemn face, because of what Zhao Yun said, he fell directly into contemplation.

I don't know how long it took, Wei Zheng, who suddenly reacted from his contemplation, asked Zhao Yun directly: "If you are asked to fight a battle with the Japanese Invaders, can you win it, and what conditions are needed......

For this question, Zhao Yunmeng was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

When he confirmed that Wei Zheng was not joking, he immediately realized that he seemed to have another battle to fight. And the opponent of this battle is likely to be the Japanese ......

In this case, of course, Zhao Yun will not hesitate to give an affirmative answer.

However, Zhao Yun, who had seen the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Invaders, was not arrogant enough to ignore the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Invaders.

As soon as Wei Zheng's affirmative answer was spoken, he added: "However, I do have a request here, and that is to further increase the number of artillery in the troops...... It is better to equip the mortars to the company level, otherwise, they will not be able to stop the shield cars and shields of the Japanese ......"

Wei Zheng nodded in affirmation: "Yes...... The artillery created by the Artillery Workshop in the recent period is all equipped for you ......"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was even more sure of the judgment in his heart.

Tentatively asked Wei Zheng: "Lord Wang, do you want to fight the Japanese ......?"

Wei Zheng did not hide it, and directly affirmed: "That's right, during the time you went on the expedition, the coastal area of Shandong was plundered by the Japanese invaders many times...... If you don't retaliate, the arrogant Japanese will really think that our Tiger and Leopard Army is afraid of them......"

At this moment, Wei Zheng still had a word in his heart that he didn't say......

On the surface, the attack on the Japanese invaders was to retaliate against the Japanese raiders on the coastal areas of Shandong.

In fact, this is only one of the existing ways in which the Haw Par Army sent troops to the Japanese Invaders.

The real reason is that on the island where the Japanese are located, there are three things that Wei Zheng is very jealous of......

Silver, copper, sulphur......

And these three things are exactly what the Haw Par Army lacks.

Therefore, when Wei Zheng received the news of the Japanese raiding the Shandong coast, he was angry at the same time, and there was also a trace of surprise in his heart.

Because, I must finally have a reason to send troops to Wajima...... (To be continued......)
