Chapter 437: The Old General on the Flagship
Walking out of the cabin, the scene in front of me made me and Chen Zaixian both stunned. In the distance, we could see the beach of Luliang, and the wooden boat under us had stopped on the sea in the Luliang area. And there are hundreds of ships of all sizes on the sea, and the ship we are on without others is a small boat, but very close to us, there is a very majestic and huge warship, the ship is brightly lit, and we can clearly see the busy figures on the deck from our position, and at the lace viewing platform on the mast of the big ship, a soldier waving a red and white flag in his hand, seems to be giving orders, and with the wave of the flag, Hundreds of ships began to change formations in a regular manner, which was clearly a naval division practicing battle formations.
Chen Jae-hyun and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a bit of overwhelm in our eyes. But before we could figure out what to do next, the Bannerman suddenly waved the flag at where we were, and the small boat under us drove towards the flagship of its own accord.
The boat gradually docked to the side of the flagship, and the rope ladder was thrown down from it. Chen Jae-hyun and I hesitated for a moment, but finally climbed up. Park Moo-yong said before that he could talk as much as he could, and he would fight again if he couldn't talk.
After boarding the flagship, I found that the soldiers on the flagship were not disgusting like I saw Chen Zaixian in the illusion, they were all lifelike, as if they were alive, but after we boarded the big ship, the soldier who lowered the rope ladder by the string of the ship was extremely respectful.
"Strongman, please here, the general has been waiting for you for a long time." This soldier speaks Chinese, and he is fluent in Beijing films, what's going on? It stands to reason that even if there is a Chinese expert among the soldiers of the Joseon Dynasty, it is impossible to speak fluently in Beijing films, which is not something that can be learned in three or two days at all, at least it is necessary to spend many years in the capital like the previous Tang envoys, so it can be this kind of accent. But now was not the time to delve deeper, and followed the soldiers to the center of the deck of the flagship, where a group of men who looked like generals were gathered, divided into two columns, and stood there, and in the center sat a general with a helmet, armor, robe, and beard, and white hair.
"Lord Qiqi General Soldier, two strong men are here!" The soldier who brought us knelt on one knee and clenched his fist to the general in the center, and the old general raised his hand and motioned for the soldier to go down, but his eyes swept to me and Chen Zaixian.
"Gyeonggi-do Chen Jae-hyun, see General Yi Sun-sin!" Yi Sunsin's name can be said to be a household name on the Korean Peninsula, and now on the surface of the exposed sea, according to the information we have gathered, it is Yi Sun-sin who has done these things, and for any nation with a strong national consciousness, the worship of heroes should not be stopped. Chen Zaixian stepped forward and knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to the old general sitting in the center, but I don't know if it was because the soldiers spoke Chinese or something when they returned just now, Chen Zaixian also spoke Chinese.
What I didn't expect was that after Chen Zaixian made such a big salute, the old general in the center did not let him get up, but swept his eyes to his left hand with a smile, and the generals on both sides also had different expressions, among which the first general in his fifties on the left hand side of the old general was particularly embarrassed.
"Hehehehe, General Li, your fellow countryman, it's still up to you to entertain you, and the old man wants to talk to the old man's juniors about all kinds of things in his hometown." The old general who was stroking his old beard smiled heartily, and the first general on the left side bowed out of class with a crying and laughing face, mixed Chen Zaixian from the ground, and led him to the side to speak. It seems that the old general in the center is not Li Sunsin at all, but the one who couldn't laugh or cry just now.
"Hahaha, this little brother is surnamed Shen? Your companion has just come up and bowed, so why don't you kneel? The old general looked at me with a smile and a look of interest.
"I am a Chinese citizen, this is the sea area of the Joseon Dynasty, although Yi Sunsin can be regarded as a hero, but he is a hero of their Koreans, why should my Chinese descendants kneel? It's just that I don't know if the general's surname is Chen or Deng. In fact, the identity of the veteran in front of him is not difficult to guess, and the position is still above Li Sunsin, which is none other than the two generals Chen Luan, the commander of the Navy Division, and Deng Zilong, the deputy chief of the Navy Army.
"Hahahaha! Good! What a Chinese descendant! The old man is Deng Zilong! With the hearty laughter of the old general, the row of generals to his right either smiled or grinned, and all laughed, as if they were very satisfied with my answer. The generals on the left are expressionless, and their nationalities are visible at a glance.
"General Deng, it's rude." I clenched Deng Zilong's hands together, but I still didn't bow down.
"Oh, little brother, since you know who our general is, why don't you bow down?" Deng Zilong's left-hand general, who was closest to me, asked me with a slightly mocking taste.
hugged his fist to Deng Zilong again, "Shiyi time shifts, I respect General Deng as a hero, since General Deng knows my name, he naturally knows what I am doing now, and it is also the business of protecting the territory and the people, so calculated, General Deng and I should be considered comrades-in-arms, and comrades-in-arms should support each other, and fight outside and inside, instead of kneeling and worshipping, sticking to cumbersome understanding, General Deng, am I right?" ”
"Hahahaha, what the kid said is good, my Deng Zilong has been fighting against the Japanese, quelling the chaos, and fighting the border, relying on the soldiers who support each other, but not those soft-boned kowtow worms!" Speaking of this, the old man actually stood up with a pat on the thigh, walked over and gave me a hug.
To be honest, it made me feel a little flattered. After the hug, the old general suddenly sighed and patted me on the shoulder with his hand, "Young man, speaking of which, the old man is ashamed of you." Back then, when you were on duty in Yungui, the southern Xinjiang was vast, and the old man's conquest of the Bei bandits was unfavorable, so he left you with today's disaster, little brother, don't blame the old man. ”
Shell bandits? The word immediately reminds me of the Shellfish Organization. It turns out that they were already making trouble in the Ming Dynasty, I suddenly felt that they were also quite ridiculous, the world has changed over time, the times have changed, there has never been a precedent in the history of the world for the rise of small countries and border independence, but this shell organization, in such a long time, has not been able to recover their ancient Dian Kingdom, so it looks like a clown jumping beam, people don't want to look at them squarely.
However, this old general Deng died on the battlefield, his soul is wandering, he shouldn't go to China to travel, he said at the beginning that my surname is Shen, and it can be understood that those ghost soldiers have collected some of our intelligence in the past few days, and the constant conflict between me and the Bei organization is obviously not something that can be collected in the past few days.
"Little brother, are you wondering why the old man knows about you?" Deng Zilong saw my expression and immediately knew what I was thinking, and couldn't help laughing again, "The old man is not Zhuge Wuhou, and he has no ability to calculate, but he has met the old man recently. With Deng Zilong's light sigh, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers all dimmed, the Chinese pay attention to the soul home, they have been adrift on the sea of a foreign country for hundreds of years, it is impossible not to feel homesick. However, judging from Deng Zilong's words, he met Chen Lan, the reincarnated commander of the navy, and Chen Lan also knew about me and told him, which is really surprising.
"General Deng, actually...... If you want to return to your hometown, I can help you a little. "Looking back at the hundreds of warships on the sea, I really don't know how many heroic souls are floating on the sea in this foreign land." If necessary, please General Deng divide the soldiers according to their hometowns, register them, and I will take you back to your hometown. ”
"Alas, there is no need!" Deng Zilong sighed again, "Born as a soldier, died as a military soul, no matter life or death, a soldier must complete his mission." The great cause of resisting Japanese aggression is not over, and we cannot return to our hometowns yet. Deng Zilong suddenly raised his hand and pointed into the distance, "Not long ago, Tan Ma reported that the Japanese country was reborn, and the Japanese navy may come again in the near future. Now that the war is coming, how can I have the heart to return home. ”
Although I had already guessed the reason for the incident, I couldn't help but sigh when I heard Deng Zilong tell me in person. These little Japanese children made a fuss when they were alive, and they will continue to make a fuss when they are reincarnated, and if they don't make enough fuss, the ghosts will continue to make fuss. I only pity the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers.
"General Deng, so to speak, recently, on the Korean Peninsula, those civilians have lost their souls and fallen asleep for no reason, is it because the sailors are recruiting?"
"Well, the war is imminent, the lack of troops is always a constraint, General Li Sunsin took the initiative to take on the matter of conscription, and it can be regarded as a thorough understanding, although it is believed in military funds, but such a move, even if it is a complete victory, in the future in the world, it is not necessary to be infamous for a lifetime, it is reported that an immediate family member of General Li has been executed for obstructing conscription, and in order to win this war, both of us have paid too much." The immediate family member who was executed is Li Yun'er, that lovely girl. I don't know if this kind of national righteousness is right or wrong, hurt the enemy by a thousand, and hurt yourself by 800. However, as long as it does not harm the lives of our Chinese, Li Sunchen is willing to use this method to recruit soldiers, let him go, these things are not for me to consider, my ass is not big enough to sit on the Korean Peninsula.
"Okay, little brother, let's not talk about these unhappy things, seeing each other is fate, and the old man will give you a gift." Deng Zilong didn't understand the embarrassment of me, a man in the yang world, laughed, and waved his hand at a general behind him, "Go and bring the weapon that the old man used when he was guarding the southern frontier, it's time to find a new owner for it!" ”
