And promise never to do it again in the future!! Lin Yuan on the helicopter was looking at the information of Ye Zhichao, the commander of the Qing army, in the Battle of Pyongyang, Ye Zhichao led his troops to abandon Pyongyang, prepared to withdraw to the country, and encountered an ambush by the Japanese army on the Yiju Avenue, with heavy casualties.

At this time, Ye Zhichao gathered the old department of Pyongyang and gathered in Jiuliancheng, an important town on the border between China and North Korea, Lin Yuan read his information, and had a bottom in his mind about how to negotiate, so he put the information aside, I don't know what to do Suddenly remembered Shen Wanqing, after returning to the ship, because there was no evidence to prove her true identity, so she temporarily restricted her movements, she behaved very calmly, but her calmness made Lin Yuan feel very uncomfortable.

The helicopter landed outside Jiulian City, Lin Yuan originally wanted to put on the clothes of the common people in the Qing Dynasty, but then he thought about it, Ye Zhichao was also a member of the imperial court, how could he see himself as a little commoner, so he put on a suit and looked like a gentleman who had stayed abroad.

Lin Yuan's dress was too eye-catching, he just walked to a place where there were people, and was stopped by a few soldiers, as the saying goes: "People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." When a few soldiers saw Lin Yuan dressed like this, they knew that he was a rich and powerful person, and then looked at him without braids on his head, and a well-informed soldier thought that this person might be a foreigner, and in those days, foreigners were not easy to mess with.

Lin Yuan walked up to the soldier in a big way, and said with a big grin: "Is Ye Da nerd here?" ”

Several soldiers were dumbfounded when they heard this, "Ye Da Nerd" was Ye Zhichao's nickname in his early years, because Ye Zhichao was brave and abnormal, just like a nerd who didn't know how to hurt and didn't know how to be tired, so he got such a nickname, in ancient times, it was a very unkind thing to call people by their names, which can usually be understood as a prelude to a fight, not to mention the name of the boss!

The soldiers dared to call this nickname in private, but this strangely dressed person dared to call it in public, which shows that he is not an ordinary person, and the soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they reported it layer by layer, and Lin Yuan soon saw Ye Zhichao.

At this time, Ye Zhichao was like sitting on pins and needles, although he knew that the Japanese army did not have so much courage to pursue him across the border, but he was afraid of the Qing court's punishment and lost the battle.

When Lin Yuan saw Ye Zhichao, he smiled and greeted him, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.

Ye Zhichao was very unaccustomed to people not kneeling when he saw him, but despite this, he still asked, "Mr. Lin doesn't know where he came from?" Where is the township? ”

Lin Yuan said: "I am from Pyongyang, I am from Beijing, and I have studied in the United Kingdom. ”

The two of them sat down separately, and a servant served tea, which could not be drunk. If the host feels that the conversation is over, he is embarrassed to let the guest go, so he will bring the tea to the guest to drink, and the guest's lips touch the tea, and the servant will shout: "Send the guest." This is the end of the meeting between the host and the guest.

But these things are no longer in modern China, so Lin Yuan doesn't understand these things, he walked in the sun for a while, he was already thirsty, and he drank the tea. The servant followed Ye Zhichao back from Pyongyang, frightened, always distracted, didn't pay attention to the old man didn't serve tea, and shouted: "Send off." ”

This made Lin Yuan stunned, why did he just pick me up?

Ye Zhichao was well-informed, and immediately saw that Lin Yuan didn't know this, thinking that he had been in the West for a long time, and he didn't know these etiquettes, so he couldn't help but admire him even more.

Ye Zhichao smiled heartily and said to the servant, "You go down first." He turned his head to Lin Yuan again and said, "Mr. Lin doesn't know what he is talking about this time?" ”

Lin Yuan thought that it was important to get down to business, and he didn't pay attention to the small section just now, so he said, "I'm here to give Ye Shuai a big gift!" ”

Ye Zhichao was stunned, the rules of officialdom, don't talk about giving gifts when you meet, the gifts are all handed over through the subordinates, he asked: "I don't know what kind of gift it is?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "My great gift is the head of the 10,000 Japanese troops in Pyongyang!" ”

Ye Zhichao couldn't believe his ears, he said, "What does Mr. Lin mean? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I am from Pyongyang City, and something shocking happened in Pyongyang City!" The commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Aritomo Yamaguchi, the commander of the Third Division, Lieutenant General Katsura Taro, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Michikan Nozu, have been assassinated and killed! The ammunition depot and granary of the Japanese army in Incheon Port were destroyed by the rebels, and the Japanese army in Korea was already in a desperate place of ammunition and food. ”

Ye Zhichao's heart moved, he couldn't be sure whether what Lin Yuan said was true or false, the Qing army now knew nothing about the situation in Pyongyang, and the Japanese army would inevitably block the news of the commander's death, Ye Zhichao thought to himself: "This Lin Yuan, won't he come to plan for the Japanese army, right?" ”

Lin Yuanzhi said that Ye Zhichao was hesitating, and he said: "Ye Shuai must be suspecting that what I said is false, well, let's not talk about this for now, Ye Shuai knows, how do the people evaluate Ye Shuai abandoning the city and leaving?" ”

When Ye Zhichao heard this, he sighed and said, "How else can I comment, it's nothing more than saying that I, Ye, am greedy for life and afraid of death, and cowardly!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Ye Shuai's expectations are true, but he can understand Ye Shuai's hardships, Ye Shuai abandoned the city and left, it was really because the Pyongyang defenders ran out of ammunition and food, and the Japanese army has surrounded Pyongyang on all sides, the barrier Peony Terrace on the periphery of Pyongyang, the Xuanwu Gate has been lost, and if you don't retreat, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out!" That's why Ye Shuai ordered a retreat. I wonder if what I'm saying is true? ”

Ye Zhichao sighed and said: "What Mr. Lin said is extremely true, the roads in North Korea are rugged, and a large number of food and ordnance of our army are piled up in Uiju, which cannot be transported to Pyongyang, and there is already a small group of Japanese troops in Uizhou, so the transfer is even more difficult. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Ye Shuai, I can understand your hardships, but those gossip officials, the saints in the Forbidden City in Beijing, can the Queen Mother Lafayette understand you?" Especially the Queen Mother Lafayette, in a month it will be her old man's 60th birthday, if you throw Pyongyang away and fill in the blockage for Lafayette, can she spare you? ”

Ye Zhichao's heart moved, this Lin Yuan really said that he was in his heart!

Lin Yuan said again: "Ye Shuai, this is a lost battle, there must be someone to carry the black pot and calm down the people's grievances, if you sit in Jiulian City, you will be the general of the abandoned and defeated army, and the history will be disgraced!" But if you wave your army to North Korea, take Pyongyang, and recover Seoul! You are the first hero of the Qing Dynasty to defend the border in the past three hundred years! Which one do you choose? ”

Ye Zhichao clenched his fists, pondered for a long time, slapped the table fiercely, and said: "Come on, clean up the remnants of the army, and kill back to Pyongyang!" ”

(Regarding Ye Zhichao's abandonment of the city, the usual view is: Ye Zhichao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and this article adopts the view of Mr. Chen Yue, an expert in modern Chinese history, in the book "The Sinking Jiawu", Ye Zhichao abandoned the city because he ran out of ammunition and food.) ）
