After returning to Seoul with the remnants, Konishi gathered the scattered people. Let them abandon the small and medium-sized cities, clear the walls and clear the wilderness, and all assemble in Seoul, preparing to share the victory and defeat with the Ming army here.

After Li Rusong took Pyongyang City, he was not in a hurry, and began to treat the wounded soldiers and replenish food and grass. During this period, Li Hao sent people to urge Li Rusong several times to ask him to quickly pull out the revenue and regain lost ground, but Li Rusong pushed him back.

It's not that he doesn't want to move, but he really can't move, and he has so many people under him. Although the territory of this Korea is not large, it is thousands of miles deep, and he also divided his troops to garrison the cities he has built, so now he has less than 20,000 horses under his command to mobilize.

In this way, the Ming army and the Japanese army reached a tacit agreement again, and the border of Heian Road was used as the boundary, and the confrontation began. The Sino-Japanese war was again at a stalemate.

In Qingdao, hundreds of miles away from the Korean Peninsula, warships floated in the waters outside the island, and warships were constantly moving back and forth for drills. During this period, there were constant cannon shots, setting off waves of waves.

Zhang Yun stood in front of a warship, picked up the binoculars and looked at the sailor not far away, couldn't help nodding again and again, and said, "Go, call Zhang Long to me." ”

Not long after, Zhang Long was brought to Zhang Yun.

"Zhang Long has seen Master Hou"

Zhang Long saw Zhang Yun salute first, Zhang Yun waved his hand to let him get up, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Long, now there is only one month left before the March period, and the official will start the inspection after January."

If you can't complete the task, hehe... This official will punish you for dereliction of duty. ”

Zhang Long patted his chest and promised: "If you can't complete the task, Zhang Long will be dealt with by military law." ”

"Well, let's go down."

As soon as Zhang Long went down, Zhao Hu came up: "My lord, why do we bother to train this water master." This North Korea is all land, and General Lee's troops have now broken through Pyongyang, and we are still in North Korea yet.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, this Zhang Long has just trained the sailors, and General Li has finished solving all the Japanese soldiers. ”

Zhang Yun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, walked to the bow of the boat, looked at the vast sea, and said, "What do you know?" Who said I asked for North Korea? Now that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is pouring out of the nest, there must be emptiness on the Japanese island, hum... This time, I'm definitely going to make them bleed profusely. ”

"But ....., it won't have to be delayed for so long." Zhao Hu still looked anxious.

Zhang Yun knew that he would explain to him, that is, to play the piano to you, and let the warship drive back to Qingdao and go to his residence.

This time he just wants to test the combat power of this sailor, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty's maritime supremacy, and even the world's hegemon, will depend on these sailors.

After entering the residence, Zhang Yun fell asleep. It wasn't until dusk that he was woken up by a commotion. Zhang Yun rubbed his eyes, got up and walked outside the house, and he saw Xu Xi in a red samurai suit.

"Lady, why are you here?" Zhang Yun asked with a smile, and then waved his hand to let Zhao Hu and the others disperse.

Xu Xi said as he walked into the house: "It's Sister Ziyi who asked me to come and see if you have hidden Jiaojiao in the golden house here." ”

Zhang Yun looked at Xu Xi Miaoman's figure, plus he hadn't seen her for two months, it was Xiao Biesheng's newlywed. Xu Xi turned around and noticed Zhang Yun's fiery gaze, and a touch of crimson spread from his neck.

After a while, there was a sound of noise in the house, and after a long time, the wind and rain stopped. After finishing the matter, Zhang Yun lay on the head of the bed with a proud face, and Xu Xi shrank in Zhang Yun's arms like a kitten.

Zhang Yun brushed her loose hair, wiped away the slightest sweat, and said, "Lady, are Liang'er and Zhu'er okay at home?" ”

"Okay, it's just that the child is older, and he often grabs me and asks, where is Daddy." Xu Xi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yun with a resentful expression.

Zhang Yun smiled apologetically, now that the children are two and a half years old, he doesn't spend much time with them.

"When this matter is over, I will definitely not go there, and I will accompany you in the capital."

Xu Xi shook his head and said, "I know you won't be able to stay." Then she changed her words: "However, you have to take me with you wherever you go in the future." ”

"No, no, this war is too dangerous, in case it ......" Zhang Yun waved his hand again and again to refuse.

Xu Xi stood up and said, "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" If you die, I don't want to live alone. ”

"But women can't be carried in the army, and I, as the head of an army, can always lead by example."

Xu Xi smiled: "What's the matter, it's a big deal for me to dress up as a man and be your own soldier." And I might be able to protect you. ”

Xu Xi is slender and heroic, if he is pretending to be a man, if he doesn't look closely, he shouldn't be able to find it. Besides, with her by her side, she can make fewer mistakes, so as not to fall for the beauty trick of a small day.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun responded to Xu Xi's request: "Okay, you just stay by my side and don't go anywhere." ”

"Really?!" Xu Xi exclaimed in surprise, and then kissed Zhang Yun. At this time, Xu Xi saw that Zhang Yun had a reaction again, scolded in a low voice with a red face, and slowly closed his eyes, looking like he was picking.

A short time later, a low moan could be heard from inside the house.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yun carefully broke Xu Xi, who was wrapped around his body like an octopus, washed up and came to Qingdao Wharf.

At the Qingdao wharf in May, the willow branches swayed in the wind, and the warship towers around the wharf reflected each other. Although it was already May, it was still cleaning up with the slightest hint, and a cold wind blew, and Zhang Yun couldn't help but shiver.

Although it was only morning, the docks were already crowded with busy sergeants. Zhang Long made a military order to Zhang Yun, and naturally he would not let go of the people under him, so as soon as the sky was bright, he was pulled to the warship to start today's training.

Every day, they went out to sea at dawn, and when it was completely dark, the soldiers dragged their tired bodies back. Day after day, and so on.

As usual, Zhang Yun boarded the warship and went to sea with them. However, Zhang Yun generally only supervised the battle until noon, and returned when the sun was older. After all, he is also the commander of an army, so he must have this privilege.

"First Fleet, fire!"

"Second Fleet, fire!"

"Third Fleet, fire!"

“......”

"Boom, boom, boom!! With Zhang Long's roar, the herald used flags to inform their respective fleets to open fire, and then there were cannon shots, and the targets placed on the sea surface were smashed to pieces.

Zhang Yun took out the binoculars and looked at them, and nodded with satisfaction. Today, the East China Sea Division has a total of 100 warships, and 25 warships are a fleet, of course, transport ships are not counted among them.

Standing on the main ship, Zhang Long constantly directed the fleet to turn the rudder, make an emergency stop, and keep the queue moving.

As time passed, Zhang Yun looked up at the sun, and the blinding sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes. Zhang Yun said a word to Zhang Long, and then hurried back.

After returning home, I went straight to my residence.

"Master Hou, how is it? I'm okay dressed like this. As soon as Zhang Yun entered, he saw that Xu Xi had changed into the decoration of his own soldiers, and saw that she was seven feet tall, wearing silver armor, with distinct facial features, red lips and white teeth.

Even a pair of crisp breasts on his chest are wrapped in cloth, and he is simply a handsome young man.

Zhang Yun circled around Xu Xi, began to look at her dress carefully, and finally clapped his hands and shouted: "It's good, I'm afraid that you will directly hook away other people's girls." ”

Xu Xi smiled at him and said, "Master Hou, in the future, the little one will protect you."

Let's go out and have a look now. ”

Zhang Yun was interested, nodded and walked with her to the streets of Qingdao.

After nearly two years of development, Qingdao has become extremely prosperous in all walks of life.

Merchants from all over the country gathered here, and as a result, Qingdao became the center of trade throughout the Ming Dynasty. Those merchants who bought the treasury bonds were not in a hurry at all, and even wished that the imperial court could not pay them back and used the land to compensate.

Zhang Yun and Xu Xi walked side by side, Zhang Yun glared at her, and then she remembered her identity and leaned behind Zhang Yun. After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Yun and others came to a snack street in Qingdao.

"Chaos, Chaos....."

"Ma Tuan'er, Ma Tuan'er, Ma Tuan'er."

"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd......"

“......”

The whole street was crowded with people, and all kinds of hawkers shouted.

Zhang Yun smiled at Xu Xi behind him: "Mother..... Zhang Xu, follow me, don't look around. ”

Xu Xi glared at Zhang Yun, then obediently followed Zhang Yun and walked into a restaurant with Zhang Yun.

"Little Er, serve the wine." Zhang Yun shouted, and then ordered a few more signature dishes.

After a while, Xiao Er brought the wine and food. Xu Xi put the saber aside, and sat down to eat. chewed slowly, only to see that Zhang Yun was anxious.

"Ahem......" Zhang Yun coughed, Xu Xi realized that the food just now was too elegant, so he tried to drink wine and eat meat in large pieces.

Half an hour later, the two of them were full of wine and food, and continued to walk to another street specializing in selling jewelry, and picked two sets of jewelry for Xu Xi and Zhu Ziyi. After all this, the sun also went down.

Zhang Yun was about to pull Xu Xi back to his residence, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in a corner teahouse. Zhang Yun asked Xu Xi to wait in place, took a few steps upstairs, patted the man on the shoulder, and turned around with an unfamiliar face.

"What?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Zhang Yun smiled and said hello to the man, and the man saw that Zhang Yun was extraordinary, and he didn't delve into it.

Zhang Yun shook his head with a smile, and then walked downstairs, just bumping into Xu Yu at the bottom of the building, and at the moment he was talking and laughing with a few young sons.

"Xu Yu!" Zhang Yun roared angrily.

Xu Yu was frightened, and when he looked at the source of the sound, he saw Zhang Yun staring at him with an angry face. Zhang Yun took a few steps forward, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted angrily: "Now is the time to practice, why are you here?" ”

"That's... I.. I am not feeling well, and I have asked for leave to let Lu Chen make the rounds on my behalf. Xu Yu replied hesitantly.

Zhang Yun laughed angrily: "Okay, good...... Very good.

Who did you take leave with? Let him come to see me, and you look like you're not feeling well? ”

"I talked to Brother Tiger, and he told me to have a good rest."

After Zhang Yun heard this, he glared at a few people around him, and several people suddenly scattered as if they had been struck by lightning. In this way, Zhang Yunti sneaked Xu Yu to the outside of the building, and Xu Xi outside the building saw that his younger brother was so uncompromising, and he was also helpless.

In this way, the three of them walked towards Zhang Yun's residence together. Entering the residence, Xu Xi closed the door. Zhang Yun took a sip of tea to ease his anger.

"Get on your knees!" Xu Xi yelled angrily at his younger brother. Xu Yu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to kneel obediently.

Zhang Yun originally wanted to take advantage of this expedition to Japan and lift Xu Yu up again, but this kid is so unlucky.

The Changning Army is about to be split, and his Yuzi Battalion is the weakest in combat effectiveness, and Zhang Yun will definitely choose to give it up. Without Zhang Yun suppressing it above, it would be difficult for him, the battalion commander, to be the commander.

Seeing that Zhang Yun was so angry, Xu Xi hurriedly walked around behind Zhang Yun and kept stroking Zhang Yun's back with his jade hand.

After a long time, Zhang Yun slowly spoke: "You have been demoted to deputy commander, and the commander of the Yuzi Battalion will be temporarily replaced by Lu Chen." ”

"Brother-in-law!" Xu Yu was suddenly anxious.

"Huh?"

"Yes!" Xu Yu had to nod helplessly.

When Zhang Yun saw him respond, his face softened a little: "From tomorrow onwards, you must always be with your subordinates." Your foundation is unstable now, if you still dare to cheat and cheat, don't blame my military law. ”

Xu Yu nodded in response, and Zhang Yun waved his hand to let him go down. Xu Yu saluted Zhang Yun and Xu Xi and withdrew.

"Why are you so angry, don't be angry with this stinky boy." As soon as Xu Yu left, Xu Xi hooked Zhang Yun's neck and said with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yun smiled at her and said, "I originally planned to conquer Japan this time, give him the battle achievements, and add the relationship between Xingyue and the Queen Mother, so that the Xu family can also be a count."

It seems that this kid is still not qualified enough. ”

"Hey, lady, where are you going?"
