Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 148 Qiu Ba composes a poem! The entire army attacks Pyongyang! Big rollover!
"Song Jinglue, you look down on others too much."

Faced with Song Yingchang's soul questioning, Zhang Chonghui gave a very arrogant and slightly contemptuous answer, saying:
"It's just the chirping of birds. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

As soon as this arrogant statement came out, not only Song Yingchang frowned, but even Li Rusong, who was rushing to leave, couldn't help but slow down and take another look at Zhang Chonghui.

"Haha..." Song Yingchang said angrily: "As expected of Zhang Prodigy's grandson, I didn't expect that he is also a prodigy."

Zhang Chonghui ignored Song Yingchang's sarcastic remarks, but went straight to catch up with Li Rusong, who was leaving in a hurry. While chasing, he said in an extremely slow voice:

"Admiral Li, last time Commander-in-Chief Zu's words about strange power and chaos were not intended to shake the morale of the army. I think you must have misunderstood him, and I think it is very necessary for you to educate the soldiers..."

"Shut up!" Li Rusong finally stopped and scolded Zhang Chonghui loudly: "When will it be your turn to point fingers in front of me?"

In fact, Li Rusong didn't want to interrupt Zhang Chonghui, otherwise he would have interrupted him as soon as he said a few words.

However, Zhang Chonghui's speaking speed was too slow, and he couldn't get to the 'key points' even after talking for a long time.

How could the impatient Admiral Li endure this?
"Boy, don't think that knowing a few words of bird talk is a big deal! If you dare to be arrogant and talkative in front of me again, I will immediately order you to be beaten to death with a military stick!"

Song Yingchang just said lightly: "Whatever he wants, don't worry about it."

It's easy to say that Shen Weijing still has the official position of a 'guerrilla general', and no matter what, he is still a person who eats the Tiantian family's salary.

This was a rare day for Zhang Chonghui without Luo Sigong monitoring him.

Li Rusong laughed! He thought he was 'crazy' enough! Didn’t you expect that there is someone crazier than him in this world?
"Regret? I, Li Rusong, didn't know how to write the word 'regret' since I was born!"

Zhang Chonghui turned around with a smile and said with a slow smile to Song Yingchang who had been watching the show behind him for a long time:
"Admiral Li will regret it, and you, Song Jinglue, will also regret it."

Zhang Chonghui's arrogant words soon reached Li Rusong's ears.

Qin Liangyu, who also had nothing to do, came with him to enjoy the breeze. When he was free, he asked Zhang Chonghui:

On the Lord's day of the Ming Dynasty, a banner was hung to announce the festival, and at night the ministers drank wine and rejoiced.

……

In the twenty-first year of Wanli calendar, it is the third day of the first lunar month.

……

.......
After finishing his bragging, Li Rusong also led the large army to set off.

Zhang Chonghui didn't say anything else until Li Rusong's back completely disappeared from his eyes, and he suddenly laughed.

Song Yingchang was indeed too lazy to care about Zhang Chonghui, but besides being too lazy to care about him, he would always subconsciously recall the arrogant words Zhang Chonghui said to him that day——

Luo Sigong didn't know if he had received any other orders, or he had gone to report to his superiors. Zhang Chonghui had not seen anyone else for most of the day.

"Aren't you going back yet?"

The war is about to begin, and the 'so-called peace' between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese pirates is about to come to an end. What will replace it will be a tragic war that will completely tear apart the face!
In this case, the Ming Dynasty no longer needs this so-called 'diplomatic envoy', so Shen Weijing and Zhang Chonghui are both unemployed.

After Li Rusong finished his harsh words, he turned around and left, leaving no chance for Zhang Chonghui.

However, even though they were both unemployed, neither of them had any intention of returning to the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of Li Rusong's "Qiu Ba" subordinates, such a poem would be like - Admiral, this is too awesome!
People have different opinions, and the quality of poetry naturally varies from person to person, so there is no need to decide.

"Regret? Hahaha!"

The feelings of generals contained in "I often remember crossing the saddle in my dreams" also really exist.

"Regret? I want to see how I can regret it!"

After spending a short and careless New Year, Li Rusong led the army to set off for Pyongyang City!
Before leaving, General Qiu Ba, who was regarded as ignorant by outsiders, showed off his literary talents inexplicably and wrote a poem to the North Korean Minister Liu Chenglong.

In the eyes of a scholar like Song Yingchang, who was well-read in poetry and books, such a poem might not even be considered attractive.

——"Admiral Li will regret it, and Song Jinglue will regret it too."

This poem was sent by Li Rusong to Liu Chenglong, and he also sent it to the entire North Korea.

I have the freedom to have nothing to do, but I can only come to this bare riverside to enjoy the breeze.

The implicit meaning of bragging in 'laughing and speaking out has no chance of winning' cannot be said to be absent.

Talking, laughing and speaking out has no chance of winning. In my dreams, I often recall riding in the saddle. "

"You don't even listen to me, do you?"

……

But Zhang Chonghui is a white man, so it is somewhat redundant to stay.

The economic envoy Song Yingchang was mainly responsible for logistics matters. As for fighting, he didn't know how to do it, so he stayed in Yizhou.

Along the Yalu River.

"I brought my troops to Jianggan at night to say that the three Koreas were not at peace.

The content of the poem is also easy to understand:

The name of this poem is very simple and crude, it is directly "Li Rusong, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expedition, presented it to Liu Chenglong, the envoy to the Korean capital, Xiuchi".

In response, Shen Weijing expressed to Song Yingchang privately that he hoped Song Jinglue could 'send' Zhang Chonghui back to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

When spring comes, my murderous spirit is still strong, but now that the demonic atmosphere has gone, my bones have become cold.

Whenever he thought of this sentence, Song Yingchang's brows would wrinkle involuntarily, and after a moment, they would relax again.

"Your uncle is about to go back. It seems that... your life here is not easy either. I heard that you also have a young wife waiting for you at home. Why don't you go back quickly?"

Zhang Chonghui did not answer Qin Liangyu's question, but asked: "Aren't you going back?"

Qin Liangyu stopped asking questions and only replied: "I heard that Sichuan General Liu Wei will lead his army to support here soon. I think... it shouldn't be difficult to join his Sichuan Army, right?"

Zhang Chonghui thought for a while and finally told the truth: "But you are not a military household. Unless Liu Wei is willing to accept you as a soldier, but... although he leads the Sichuan army, he is not from Sichuan."

Zhang Chonghui has spoken very tactfully, and his meaning is very straightforward - if it doesn't matter, it won't work.

"Alas..." Qin Liangyu said with some melancholy: "Try it. If you don't try it, how will you know?"

"Well, give it a try." Zhang Chonghui did not throw cold water on him anymore, but suddenly asked: "If instead of going back to Sichuan, we go to Liaodong, or...the grassland, would you like it?"

Qin Liangyu didn't understand why Zhang Chonghui asked such a question, but he answered truthfully:

"I'm from Sichuan, so naturally I want to go back to my hometown to serve as a soldier and protect my hometown. But Liaodong is really too cold. I heard that further north, it's even colder than North Korea.

As for the grassland... I have never seen it before. I heard that the ground is very flat. I'm used to forests full of mountains. If I were asked to fight on flat ground, I felt like I wasn't very good at it.

Of course, I’m just talking about this! In fact, as long as there is a chance, be it Liaodong or the grassland! I'm willing to go! Anyway, I can resist freezing! "What Qin Liangyu said is true. After all, who doesn't want to make life and career more harmonious?

"That's it." Zhang Chonghui said nothing more, only looking at the lifeless Liaodong across the river, which was also cold and freezing.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

Maybe Qin Liangyu felt that being quiet was too embarrassing, so Qin Liangyu took the initiative to pick up the topic and asked: "What about you, if you join the army, where do you want to go?"

"I will not join the army." Zhang Chonghui replied honestly.

Qin Liangyu was embarrassed for a moment and then asked: "What if? I said what if you want to join the army?"

Zhang Chonghui replied directly: "There is no if."

"Uh..." Qin Liangyu was a little speechless. Although she knew that Zhang Chonghui's son-in-law was a 'soft rice', she didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhang Chonghui was not a person who was willing to succumb to such a status.

"If you really want it, let's go to the grassland." Zhang Chonghui suddenly said.

"Grassland?" Qin Liangyu was surprised and asked curiously: "Why grassland?"

Zhang Chonghui said with a smile: "I want to see the Chile River. Under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields. I want to see the sky is blue and the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep can be seen."

"Ah...ah?" Qin Liangyu didn't understand and asked, "We're already at war and you still have time to look at the scenery?"

"Didn't you say what if?" Zhang Chonghui said with a smile: "And I said it from the beginning, I will not join the army."

Qin Liangyu: "..."

Co-author... Is this 'boy' who looks like 'I' just teasing her?

……

In the twenty-first year of Wanli, it is the fifth day of the first lunar month.

The army led by Li Rusong finally arrived at Pyongyang City!
At this time, the commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Konishi Yukinagawa, had already put on colorful robes and prepared a welcoming formation at Fengyue Tower with great joy.

President Konishi is ready to warmly receive the arrival of Ming Dynasty officials and envoys with the most solemn etiquette of Japan!
Moreover, they signed together the 'seven' rich treaties that the Ming Dynasty's 'envoy' had 'sworn' to him!
……

Outside Pyongyang.

When the mighty Ming army arrived outside Pyongyang, not surprisingly, almost everyone was dumbfounded!

Looking at the colorful, gaudy and strangely dressed Japanese slaves on both sides of the road, neither human nor ghost, neither monster nor monster, and with strange postures, beating gongs and drums, singing and drinking, let alone human beings, they are the crotches of the cavalry. All the horses are frightened!
The soldiers were all confused. What was going on? ?

Aren't you here to fight? What are these crazy Japanese slaves doing like monsters? What the hell are you singing about?

Some soldiers and generals in the Yunnan-Guizhou region were even thinking that they had never eaten mushrooms before going on an expedition, so how could they still see these things?
At the same time, Li Rusong, the main general, did not realize the seriousness of the problem yet!
Who is Admiral Li? Although the "welcome ceremony" of the Japanese slaves was a bit strange, because Li Rusong was bold by nature and he often played with Qi Jiajun in the past, he had already been mentally prepared for the "weird image" of the Japanese slaves. , I was surprised but not surprised anymore.

The most important thing is that Li Rusong, who was at the forefront of the army at this moment, saw a 'target' that made him very excited!
That is - the north gate of Pyongyang City is actually wide open!
what does that mean? It means that the enemy has opened the door to attack you!
Such good timing! Not fighting is simply unjust!

There was almost no hesitation! Li Rusong was just issuing orders!

——The whole army attacks!
……

however……

An accident happened, and it was a big accident!
According to the past, and according to common sense, after Li Rusong issued the order, the soldiers should immediately wave their guns and move forward with all their strength!
However, this time, after giving the order, only a small group of people actually charged forward...

And this group of people are almost all Qi Jiajun who started fighting Japanese pirates!

As for the others, especially the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry", the main force that Li Rusong valued most, they were 'almost' frozen in place, staring blankly at the 'warmly welcoming' Japanese slaves on both sides of the road!
The reaction of the Liaodong cavalry was quite fast. At least after seeing the Zhejiang soldiers rushing to kill people, they waved their firecrackers and launched an attack without realizing it!

However, it was already too late.

The 'opportunity' is often only for that moment. If it is missed for a moment, it is completely missed.

Governor Konishi was not a fool. Seeing a fight suddenly broke out outside the city, he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed quickly!
And because of their "curiosity" at this moment, the Ming army sadly missed this great opportunity to "break into the city directly"!

The north gate of Pyongyang City is closed.

It was only at this moment that President Konishi finally realized that the so-called peace negotiation was a fucking scam!

Where did the people from the Ming Dynasty come to 'negotiate terms' with them? !
Ming Chao’s real intention! They are coming to attack the city!

"Baga! What a bullshit country of etiquette! A bunch of liars! Villains! Ah! Baga Yalu!"

The angry Governor Konishi couldn't stop yelling. At this moment, he could only look outside the city with red eyes, watching his colorful compatriots stained with blood on their clothes and screaming again and again.

"A bunch of liars! Villains! Baga! Baga is blocking the road!"

……

At this time, the faces of both Ming and Japan were completely torn apart.

The city gates were closed, and the Ming army failed to seize the "great opportunity" to attack the city, so naturally they could only camp outside Pyongyang.

How could the irritable Admiral Li not be angry after missing such a great 'opportunity' to attack?
This time, Li Rusong was really furious!
Before the camp was set up, Li Rusong called all his generals and gave them a good meal!
"Damn! You are all such cowards! You have seen so many dead people on the battlefield! You are not afraid of the dead! How can you be frightened by the Japanese slaves?! Can you fucking have any potential!"

On the surface, the generals were being scolded obediently, but in fact, they were already complaining in their hearts.

After all, the situation at that time was really weird, and no one was warned in advance that this would happen. How many people could react quickly?
Moreover, there are tens of thousands of people in the army, and it takes time to convey a message to tens of thousands of people. How can it be that easy?
The soldiers had quite a few complaints, and Li Rusong knew it well.

However, it was precisely because he knew it that Li Rusong became even more angry!
Almost subconsciously, Li Rusong recalled what Zhang Chonghui said to him a few days ago!
Regret?

Impossible to regret!
Isn’t it just a missed opportunity? He, Li Rusong, couldn't believe that he couldn't capture the city of Pyongyang!
"Li Rubai!" Li Rusong called out very irritably to his stinky brother who was about to escape quietly, and loudly ordered:

"You! You are not allowed to sleep tonight! You will personally lead the troops on patrol!"

……

The news of the "city gates being opened" was missed and quickly spread back to Yiju.

After hearing the news, Song Yingchang was so angry that his blood pressure soared, and he almost fainted.

You know, such a great opportunity! If only I had grasped it! That can save a lot of time, manpower, and money!
Well now, what a missed opportunity!
We can only rely on siege to fight a protracted war, or take the initiative to attack the city and fight a hard battle!

However, a siege would take a long, long time, and a siege would require many, many people to die. Neither of these is an excellent plan.

Song Yingchang had a headache, and while he was having a headache, he remembered what Zhang Chonghui said when he chased Li Rusong that day, and the arrogant words he said to him!

Almost instantly, Song Yingchang reacted!
The co-writer had known this would happen for a long time!

"Come here!" Song Yingchang said angrily: "Go and escort Deputy Envoy Zhang to me!"

"Zhang Chonghui! You are so brave! How dare you conceal military information and not report it!"
