Chapter XI
The news of an explosion spread like a nuclear explosion in Pyongyang. The chief general of the Hongjia Bayala Army, the confidant of the Mandate of Heaven Nurhachi, Jue Luobai Mountain, was actually captured alive by the Ming army.
Zhao Shujiao, who was making trouble, felt like water poured into a hot pot.
What a shame!
It was the same as going out to fight, and people went out to kill more than 1,000 people. The elite Red Jiabayala Army was wiped out, and the main general Jue Luo Baishan was captured alive. What about your own side?
A Tartar soldier did not die, but when he was chased and fled for his life by the Tartar soldiers, he trampled on each other and killed more than 200 people. Is there still a place to put this old face when this is passed out?
"Get out! It's all waste, rice buckets! The soldier who had just walked in the door was kicked out by him. He had a fire in his heart, and he was anxious to vent it.
"My lord, it's not a way for you to get angry like this. You are the deputy chief soldier, and Mao Wenlong is just a capital division. The people under him, you still need to give him face? When you left Shanhaiguan, the Inspector had already said it. The army of the dynasty is under your own control, why don't we go up and snatch Najue Luobai Mountain.
You sent someone back to Shanhaiguan overnight, does the kid surnamed Li dare to fight with you? If he really dares to join the army, we have 8,000 brothers here, and he only has more than 1,000 under him.
This is the city of Pyongyang, after a round of his musket. As soon as we swarmed up, we didn't believe that we couldn't get him. Anyway, your relationship with the Governor is much closer than that of Mao Wenlong.
I inquired privately about the reason why Mao Wenlong was able to become the boss. Thanks to his uncle, Shen Guangzuo, the political envoy of Shandong. Shandong's political envoy and you are not subordinate to each other, and it is not justified to meddle in this matter. He won't be able to pass that level!
Even if the lawsuit goes up, a hat that collides with the official and makes trouble is buttoned down, which is enough for this kid to drink a pot. The deputy general saw that Zhao Shujiao was in a bad mood, and hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.
"Is that okay? You also saw what happened last night, this kid really dares to work hard. In case of real trouble, this is in North Korea. When the court turned around and blamed it, everyone's faces were not good-looking. Zhao Shujiao thought of Li Xiao's fierce eyes yesterday, and began to beat the drum in his heart. Maybe this kid really dares to fight with himself.
"My lord, if he had dared to be angry, he would have killed your own soldier yesterday. That kid is actually just a bluff, you can take someone to take care of him now, and ask for a head, and you want to feel Luobai Mountain. The subordinates don't believe it, a kid who hasn't grown any hair dares to join us in Pyongyang. ”
"Will this work?" Zhao Shujiao still hesitated!
"Don't hesitate, sir. How important is Jue Luo Bai Mountain, if he is handed over to the imperial court. Didn't you immediately award your rank as chief soldier? The deputy general saw Zhao Shujiao's hesitation and hurriedly added a handful of firewood.
Zhao led the education to be promoted to the chief soldier, can he also get a deputy chief soldier to do it.
"Okay, fuck it. Li Xiao's little bastard is just interesting, if he doesn't know how to be interesting. Hey! Lao Tzu sees that his firearms are good, and he will also be surnamed Zhao in the future! "Zhao Shujiao has long been jealous of Li Xiao's firearms, especially those arquebuses are much better than Daming's bird guns.
Zhao Shujiao was sure that it was those birds who defeated the Tartar soldiers.
Just when Zhao Shujiao made up his mind to fight with Li Xiao for a while. Suddenly, things went wrong!
Everything can only be described as ideal plump, and the reality is very skinny. Zhao led the sect to gather thousands of subordinates and prepared to go out and rob Li Xiao. Suddenly, the soldiers came to report that Hong Yihan, the special envoy of the king of Korea, had arrived.
What are you doing at this time? Zhao Shujiao was a little confused, but after all, this is the land of the North Koreans, and it is not appropriate to see it. I can only invite Hong Yihan in!
"I've seen the chief soldier!" Hong Yihan, who is engaged in diplomacy, is especially good at getting things done, and automatically ignores the deputy word of the deputy chief soldier.
"Hmm!" Regarding Hong Yihan's title, Zhao Shujiao said "um" to express his satisfaction.
"I wonder why the envoy is here?"
"On the orders of my king, I have come to express my gratitude to the commander-in-chief. Our king gave a reward of 50 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver to show my gratitude to Korea. Hong Yihan arched his hand and said.
Zhao Shujiao's eyes lit up, and it was a good thing to give money. The big guy came here across the ocean, and in order to fight with the Tartars this time, he even practiced his breathing repeatedly when he went into battle. Words can no longer express the difficulty of entering the DPRK this time. Strange places, familiar battlefields. For the sake of silver, Zhao Shujiao no matter what kind of outcome he faced.
A thousand words and a word, who comes to this hellish place not to make some money.
"Thank you king, I can't thank you enough!"
"Slow down, Commander-in-Chief! I'm not done yet! Hong Yihan said with a smile.
"Zhao listens!"
"The Tartar soldiers have retreated, so it is better to ask the chief soldier to return to your country. My king has heard that the Tartars are ready to move on the Liaodong front. I am afraid that in the near future, an envoy from your country will come to invite the chief soldier to take the class. Therefore, my king specially prepared a ceremony and sent off the chief soldier in triumph. ”
"Teng" Zhao Shujiao stood up all of a sudden, this is to drive himself away. The North Koreans, who have always been cowardly, actually want to drive themselves away.
Especially the word Kaixuan, it is simply incompatible with Zhao Shujiao. So far, Deputy Chief Zhao has not enjoyed the pleasure brought by the word triumph. I haven't felt the word triumph, but the word failure is like a shadow with Deputy General Zhao. In his life, he had never really won a battle. When bragging with people, he often kills all sides.
"You want to drive us away?" Zhao Shujiao said viciously.
"The main thing is that I am afraid that the Tartars will invade the Ming Dynasty, and now the Tartars have retreated. The army of 8,000 tigers and wolves under the command of General Zhao was only a waste of food and salary in Pyongyang. Our king has decreed that every soldier should be rewarded with five taels of silver. Officers of all ranks, in addition to rewards. will definitely not let the Ming soldiers run in vain. Hong Yihan said with a smile.
"You're ......!" Zhao Shujiao has nothing to say now, he is now preparing to bribe everyone in the whole army.
To put it bluntly, everyone is reluctant to come to North Korea to fight. Coming here is nothing more than mixing up the money to spend, and now the king of North Korea is willing to give money. Naturally, the big guy can't wait to go home early. The New Year is just over a month away, who wants to spend the New Year in this foreign place.
Now, if he resolutely opposes it, his officers and non-commissioned officers will not agree. The Liao army has a tradition of mutiny, and these bastards can't do anything for money.
"What about Li Xiao?" Zhao Shujiao sat down helplessly, one person can't touch everyone's cheese. However, he still wanted to ask when Li Xiao would leave since he left. If Li Xiao walks with him, will there be a chance to start on the road and hack this kid. Jue Luobai Mountain is very valuable, at least there is no problem in removing the deputy general soldier on his head.
"General Li ......! Oh, Mr. Lee's unit is temporarily in Pyongyang. My king also wants to ask him to teach me the firearms battalion in North Korea, and in a month or two, I think he can also teach the class. Hong Yihan said with a smile.
"Oh!" A bold idea once again surfaced in Zhao Shujiao's head, since he wanted to go simply, he would do his mother's vote. Grab Kyaw Lo Pai Mountain!
"The marshal knows about this, and our army will prepare for two days. In three days, our army will leave for the division! "Things have come to this point, and Zhao Shujiao is too lazy to talk nonsense with Hong Yihan. Grab your teacup and get ready to send it off!
"Farewell! The reward that our king promised will be given as soon as the army goes out of the city. Hong Yihan said goodbye and drifted away.
This errand is over, and I originally thought that Zhao led the lion to open his mouth. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of taels of silver sent away the chief soldier.
The king of Joseon, Li Liang, also had the intention of spending money to send gods, and originally thought that the Tartar soldiers would threaten his throne, so he asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops. Unexpectedly, these Ming soldiers are really not very good.
In just half a month, the city of Pyongyang has been turned into a miasma. Molesting women, petty theft, beating stuffy sticks, and setting up white wolf ......! That's all the bad things, yesterday he actually openly plundered the two palace maids who went out in the palace on the street. Although the final negotiation was sent back, it has been turned by people I don't know how many times. The two palace maids hanged themselves when they came back!
With such an army, you can fight it. The North Koreans also recognized it, and the farce at Pyongyang's North Gate was watched by the whole city of Pyongyang. This is a bunch of waste, and it is better to surrender the city as soon as possible than to count on them to fight. At least the Tatar soldiers will be polite to Pyongyang, who has surrendered!
There is no harm if there is no contrast, although Li Xiao's army has been here for a short time. But they all stayed in the barracks honestly, and the supplies on weekdays were supplied by the North Koreans on time. Basically no one goes out! Even if someone goes out, they are very kind to people. You know how to pay for things!
Everyone in Pyongyang knows that the Ming army in yellow-green cotton jackets is a good guy. Those who wore regular Ming army uniforms were all bastards.
It can't go on like this, the Ming soldiers have become the No. 1 public nuisance in Pyongyang. Some people have even said that it is better to let the Tartar soldiers come than let the Ming army continue to stay.
After thinking about it, the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, decided to spend money to send Zhao Shujiao on the road. He didn't care too much about silver, because there were silver mines in North Korea. Moreover, the reserves are very abundant, and even if the Joseon king does not collect taxes for a year, he can live well on gold and silver mines.
But if the Ming soldiers continue to make such a fuss, the people of Pyongyang will not be far from rioting. Considering his own rule, Li Liang still decided to ask Zhao to leave. This kind of army, which can only eat but not fight, can only be a scourge if it stays, and nothing will happen at all.
"Tonight's third watch, raid Li Xiao's camp. Be sure to snatch Kyaw Lo Pai Mountain! As soon as Hong Yihan left, Zhao Shujiao found a deputy general.
"Handsome! It's late, just got the news. Li Xiao was stationed in the North Korean camp and stationed with 30,000 Korean troops. ”
"What?"
