Chapter II
"Big brother! Are you going to war again? Xiao Yu blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Xiao and asked.
"Yes! Big brother is going to war again, and you have to listen to your brothers at home. Read well, you know? ”
"Are you going to kill the Tartars? Revenge for the villagers, revenge for your parents? Xiaoyu's little hand grabbed Li Xiao's arm, and her whole body was tired of Li Xiao's arms.
"Yes! Avenge the villagers and avenge your parents. Li Xiao was a little ashamed when he said this, because he was still thinking about how to extort something from the king of Joseon.
"Then the Tartar soldiers also have villagers, do they also have fathers and mothers?"
"Uh......! There should be! Li Xiao glanced down at Xiao Yu and didn't understand why Xiao Yu asked that. He noticed that Xiaoyu was also looking at him with her head held high, and her big eyes were as clear as the water of Lake Baikal. The feeling of purity is suffocating! Any sinful thought will die of shame in the face of such purity.
"If you kill those Tartars, will their families come to you for revenge? Xiaoyu doesn't want to take revenge, Xiaoyu wants her eldest brother to live well. ”
“……!” Li Xiao couldn't find anything to say for a while, and the child used her language to perfectly interpret what it means to repay grievances.
"Xiaoyu! If the Tartars kill someone, they deserve retribution. It's unreliable to expect God, so the eldest brother can only do it himself. Letting go of the bad guys is the biggest disrespect for the good guys who die in vain. As for whether their family members come to me for revenge, it doesn't matter if the eldest brother matters.
If you don't kill those harmful Tartars, they will still bully us Han people in Liaodong. You know, there are still many Han people who are bullied by the Tartars. Big Brother is going to help them! Li Xiao reorganized his language, and kept telling himself in his heart that he was a good person who was righteous. The Jurchens, led by Nurhachi, are villains and jackals.
It is the greatest enemy of undecided harmony in this world!
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiao strengthened his belief.
"Oh! Xiao Yu knows, Xiao Yu is just reluctant to give up his big brother. Xiao Yu lowered her head and tried to play with the corners of her clothes.
"Big brother will be back soon!" Li Xiao touched Xiaoyu's head, hugged Xiaoyu and watched the sunset reflect the blue water.
Man Gui landed, and Liu Lao Liu returned to the island with the fleet. Li Xiao got on the ship with his baggage, as well as an artillery team and a musket team, and set sail for Korea.
The name Joseon was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, which means the land of the rising sun.
Unlike the Hahan clan in later generations, the Koreans in these years yearned for the life of the Ming Dynasty. The nobles were proud of the Ming lifestyle, and the scholars used Chinese characters to recite poems. Even the royal decrees issued by the king, as well as the historical materials that describe the history of the country, are compiled in Chinese characters.
Li Xiao, a reinforcement from the Celestial Empire, made the Korean Li Dynasty very excited.
As it turned out, Big Brother was still reliable. At the critical moment, I didn't forget the little brother.
In particular, I saw Li Xiao's team wearing uniform uniforms, carrying guns and walking on the road in unison, advancing in four columns. Both the people and the officials spontaneously gave way out. Standing on the side of the road respectfully looking at Li Xiao's team!
The uniforms of the Li Xiao army were very different from those of the Ming army, and it was already November, and it was already winter in Korea. Li Xiao's team was all dressed in yellow-green cotton clothes and hats with caps and ears that could be turned up. There are cotton shoes under his feet and gloves on his hands.
In fact, Li Xiao also prepared masks for them, but now the weather is not so cold, so everyone does not wear them.
Unlike the cotton armor that the soldiers of the Ming army had to wear, the musketeers and artillery soldiers in Li Xiao's team did not even have a single piece of iron armor on them. The reason is very simple, Li Xiao didn't plan to let them fight hand-to-hand.
On the cavalry, they were wearing helmets and armor. The cotton coat is covered with chain mail, and the outside of the chain mail is covered with fish scale armor. The inner lining of the cotton garment is made of silk.
This outfit is quite satisfied, you must know that the steel used to make the armor is phosphorus steel made by the old fisherman. It is the same type of steel as the barrel, and this armor is nothing more than the elite of the Tartars, the White Armor, the Ba Ya Army, and the Red Armor Ba Ya La.
What satisfies Man Gui even more is the latest saber, the blade is flat until the tip of the knife is slightly curved. Man Gui experimented, and chopped 100 copper coins with a saber, and the blade was not damaged at all. This saber doesn't require much force, and with the help of horse speed, it can easily leave terrible wounds on the enemy's body.
The outermost layer of fish scale armor is passivated with sulfuric acid. Even if such a fish scale armor is drenched in rain, it is not afraid of rust.
Because they were dressed in cotton clothes, everyone looked like pregnant polar bears. Riding on a horse, everyone's face is flushed, and the red light is festive to look at.
The most important thing is that the team is very clean, and everyone is dressed cleanly. There is no dust on his face, and his hair is wrapped in a clean bandana. There were no small creatures like lice in the exposed hair.
Hair is the most unsatisfactory part of Li Xiao's hygiene campaign, and Li Xiao really wants everyone to shave their hair short. But these years and years of the body and skin of the parents, this sentence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Li Xiao didn't dare to risk the world's disapproval, so that everyone had the same idea as him.
The team came to the gate of Pyongyang and came to greet a North Korean five-rank official. North Korea's official uniform system is exactly the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. From the official uniform to the official hat, it is completely a copy of the Ming Dynasty.
"Sheren Hong Yihan has seen General Daming, may I ask which one is Master Mao."
"My lord did not come in person, but sent me to help your country." Li Xiao urged the war horse to come to the front.
"Oh! This is ......! ”
"Under Li Xiao, under the account of Master Mao, the counselor military aircraft."
"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Li. Please! ”
Mr. Hong speaks fluently with a Beijing accent, and Mr. Li seems to sound more pure than his own Mandarin.
"Thank you!" Li Xiao followed Hong Yihan into Pyongyang City.
The entire city where the future generations stayed was a typical representative of dirty mess in this year. There are low-rise houses everywhere, and there are not many brick houses. Most of them are adobe houses, the kind of houses that use adobe bricks for guns and thatched roofs.
There are even some thatched houses. The thatch was covered with snowflakes and there were holes in the roofs. When the house was warmed, the snow outside was baked. It looks like the thatched house is wet!
I didn't know that there was a wood and a public toilet, anyway, when I went into the city, Li Xiao saw a lot of North Korean men in the city. Anyway, it's mainly at the foot of the wall, and I don't know what the people in those thatched huts really feel.
The main street in Pyongyang is paved with stones. The sound of horses' hooves "clicking" and "clicking" on it, and the trebuchet pulled by the ox cart behind it sounded like a tank.
The other auxiliary roads are dirt roads, and they are fine now. Once spring arrives, the roads are muddy baths. Something like a trebuchet can turn out mud when pressed against it.
This is such a place, but the royal palace of North Korea is unusually tall and gorgeous. From a distance, I saw the buildings of the Forbidden City, but it seemed that everything was a few sizes smaller.
The small gates, small city towers, and even the city walls are much shorter. Soldiers standing on it wore long coats and weapons such as forks in their hands. Standing in the cold wind, snot flows!
Looking back at his soldiers, they were all sweating down. At a glance, you can see that those long gowns do not have a good function of keeping warm. In the winter, they still wear open clothes, which is death.
"Stand!" Ao Canghai roared, and all the gunners and soldiers stood still. Standing like nails in the square in front of the palace!
"The military under the command of Master Li is really mighty!" Hong Yihan couldn't help but nod enviously when he saw Li Xiaojun's neat appearance. This kind of order is forbidden, and the North Korean army simply cannot do it. Whether it's the elite or the militia!
"Huh!" Li Xiao accepted it. Cohort training isn't for nothing!
"What about Mao Wenlong? Where is he! ”
Just as Li Xiao was enjoying Hong Yihan's rolling fart, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded.
