Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 140 Empress Jin's Negotiating Envoy

The first day after the arrival of the Koryo army was also the first tentative bombardment of the Liao army on the fortified city of Shengjing.

"What's the effect of today's shelling?" After the day's battle, Chu Yun called Dong Dawei, the commander of the Artillery Brigade.

"It's not ideal. The strength of Shengjing City is far from that of Haizhou City. Haizhou City is the kind of square wall with no special structure, while Shengjing City has structures such as Wengcheng and Bastion, and the city wall is slightly inclined. It can reduce the impact of the artillery, and the thickness is even more amazing. I am afraid that it is very unrealistic to knock down a section of the city wall in a short period of time." Dong Dawei said with a sad face.

The artillery of the Liao Army was invincible, and this was the first time it was going wrong.

"How about the attack on its fort?" Chu Yun asked again.

He knew that Shengjing City, as Houjin's lair, had a lot of firearms, even the bastions at the four corners of the city wall posed the greatest threat to the Liao army.If these forts are not destroyed in advance, they will be bombarded by cannons in the forts when storming the city in the future.

"Uh... Our artillery almost covered the forts in the southwest and southeast corners, but I'm afraid they didn't cause substantial damage to the artillery. The specific results of the battle are unknown..." Dong Dawei said shamefully.

"Well, it's okay." Chu Yun didn't care.

"Master, don't you blame us?" David Dong asked unexpectedly.

"Why do you really want me to blame you?"

"No, no, it's just the first time our artillery brigade has played so uselessly, and it's really a shame for the trust of the military leader in us."

"Artillery is not omnipotent, otherwise I would have sent troops to the north." Chu Yun said, "Tomorrow, if you adjust your tactics and angles, the city walls will not be able to collapse. You must find a way to kill their forts."

"Yes, our artillery brigade must complete the task." David Dong replied.

When the two were discussing the deployment of the artillery brigade for the next day in the army tent, the captain of the guard, Yu Cheng, walked in.

"Master, Hou Jin tied baskets with ropes and sent several envoys out of the city to meet us, saying that he hoped to negotiate with the Lord."

messenger?Chu Yun couldn't help being amused, he was already at the gate of the city, and the Eight Banners were still playing this trick.

"Bring them in to meet me." Chu Yun wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the Eight Banners Gourd.

Soon several Jin envoys entered the military tent under the guard of the guards, among them was Li Sizhong who was uneasy.

"Raise your head." Chu Yun saw the envoys cowering, looking hopeless.

"Yes..." Li Sizhong raised his head tremblingly, and couldn't help being horrified when he saw the young Chu Yun.

He never thought that the leader of the Liao army who was so powerful in Liaodong was so young!This can't help but add more mystery to the Liao Army.

"What's your name? And why are you here?"

"Responding to my lord, the younger one is called Li Sizhong, who is the son of Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. He was ordered by Dabeile to discuss the truce with the Liao army. Now the two sides are constantly in conflict, making people miserable..."

"You said you were from the Li Chengliang family in Liaodong?" Chu Yun directly ignored Li Sizhong's nonsense.

"It's absolutely true." Li Sizhong replied.

"Li Chengliang used to be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. He was powerful in Liaodong for 30 years. All the tribes in Liaodong, big and small, worshiped him like a god. Even Nurhachi, the leader of the golden thief, is only worthy to be his bodyguard. How come his people are now in the Jin people's house?" Be a lackey under the account?" Chu Yun said coldly.

Hearing Chu Yun's tone become cold, Li Sizhong couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead and back, and even his tone was a little trembling: "I don't know, I was originally one of the defenders of Lushun Port in the Ming Dynasty. When Hou Jin captured Lushun Port If you are captured, you will have no choice but to..."

"Your name is 'Sizhong', but you betrayed your own clansman and served a thief with your body. You deserve death!" Chu Yun suddenly patted the wooden table.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me..." Li Sizhong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

"Are you here this time to persuade us to retreat?" Seeing that he had frightened Li Sizhong, Chu Yun calmed down a little.

"Don't dare, dare not... Big Baylor... No, it was Daishan who asked me to come, and he is willing to give you the land south of Shengjing, such as Haizhou City and Xining Fort, to you, General, and please lead your troops to leave , so as not to save the lives of the common people..." Li Sizhong said tremblingly.

"Let me stop fighting? How about this, I have a story I want to tell you." Chu Yun said.

"General, please tell me." Li Sizhong promised.

"There was once a bully who occupied an ordinary family's house and wife, beat the ordinary man to serious injuries and drove him out. Later, the ordinary man made a career outside and brought someone back to settle accounts with the bully. The bully I couldn't beat them, so I said to ordinary people, I will return your wife to you, and I hope you won't come to trouble me in the future."

"Do you think this ordinary man will let go of the bully who occupied his house and ruined his normal life just because he got a spoiled wife?"

Chu Yun paced back and forth in the military tent, which made Li Sizhong panic.

"Of course not..." Li Sizhong couldn't hear what Chu Yun said, knowing that Chu Yun didn't intend to compromise with the Jinren, or he wasn't satisfied with the land he already got.

"The golden man asked you to come to negotiate with me, just to divert attention and delay time. Even if I find out, I will at most lose the lives of you guys. Do you really think I'm an idiot?" Chu Yun said hehe .

"Since my lord has no intention of stopping the war, I'll go back and report..." Li Sizhong wished he could leave this place immediately.At this moment, seeing that Chu Yun said nothing, he was relieved instead.

"Wait, since you are here, don't even think about leaving." Chu Yun waved his hand, "Come here, take them down!"

As soon as Chu Yun gestured, the guards all around used all their strength to capture these poor Houjin envoys firmly!In order to show their abilities in front of Chu Yun, they worked very hard, which caused Li Sizhong a lot of pain.

"The ancients said that when two armies are at war, don't kill them! General, you are high above you, don't break the thousand-year contract!" Li Sizhong was detained by Chu Yun, crying with anxiety.

"We are envoys, not soldiers, so you can't kill us." Several other Houjin envoys also shouted.

"Hey, did I say I wanted to kill you? I just want you to work for us in southern Liaoning. Alas, we are short of labor in southern Liaoning. Seeing that you are young and full of enthusiasm, why do you have to work hard for the Jinren?" What about? You will be freed after five years of service in the factory in southern Liaoning. By the way, you, an unfilial clansman, will have to serve an additional ten years of hard labor." Chu Yun pointed to Li Sizhong and said.

"My lord can't do it, I'm the general of Houjin, how can I do something like a slave..." Li Sizhong wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Hou Jin's generals are almost like slaves in my eyes. This is the worst time our workers in southern Liaoning have been hacked, plus ten years of service!"

Seeing Li Sizhong and others being dragged down by the guards, Chu Yun secretly said in his heart, Li Chengliang, this time I can be regarded as helping you clean up the door, if you are alive, let me take down Shengjing smoothly.

　Thank you Happy Xiongjun and all the book friends for their support.
