Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1075
Wang Tong originally leaned forward, but when he heard Guan Cheng say this, he leaned on the back of the chair. It didn't seem like a big deal, and listening to him ramble was a rare rest.

Unexpectedly, at this point, Guan Cheng raised his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said:

"The young one also drank too much at the time, so he told Bai Dawu that with the regiments of our Tiger Mighty Army, even all the officers and soldiers in the world would not be our opponents. Then Bai Dawu said, that is to say, we broke up. Or the commander-in-chief will lead it."

Speaking of which, both Guan Cheng and Bai Dawu raised their heads to look at Wang Tong's face, Guan Cheng continued to say rather dejectedly:

"The two of them were chatting in the barracks, but they were overheard by the guards at the gate, and they reported it to President Sun Tuan."

The superior generals of the Huwei Army often have cronies and eyes and ears on the side of the junior officers. This is different from the usual system of Ming Dynasty. The cronies are not sent for personal gain, but to report the troubles below, so that the superior generals can better control the troops. , this is actually a semi-public regulation.

"Mr. Sun Tuan found out about this, called Bai Dawu and me over and whipped me, then we were dismissed and locked up for half a month before being sent to the commander-in-chief."

Wang Tong's face became indifferent, he nodded and asked:

"Who knows what you said?"

"Only the two younger ones and the personal guard, Mr. Sun Tuan specifically told him when he was leaving that if the escort spoke to the two younger ones, the person who spoke would be killed immediately; if the two younger ones talked to others, he would be killed." Immediately kill the little ones, dare not make a sound all the way, and feel relieved when we get here."

"You battalion officers can also have the position of guerrilla and general in the local area. Why are you still talking like this? Let's work in my personal guard first. What have you done and said in Ningxia? You are not allowed to talk to me. Others mentioned that this is a military order, do you understand?"

Wang Tong's tone became severe, and the two kowtowed quickly. The military order Wang Tong said was a matter of life and death for them, and they must obey it.

Looking for someone to take them down to settle down, Wang Tong heaved a sigh of relief and opened the letter from Sun Xin. Apart from a simple greeting, the letter said that the two people should be settled by the commander.

Sun Xin is young and mature, cautious, this is not nonsense, he has indeed noticed all aspects, Bai Dawu and Guan Cheng seem to be gossiping, but they can be picked up by others and pull out a lot of things, especially in the In the Battle of Pingding Bozhou in Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu, the Ningxia Forbidden Army of the Huwei Army system made great achievements, but its combat effectiveness far surpassed that of other officers and soldiers was also seen by civil officials and gentry.

This combat power will certainly be admired by others, but it will also become an excuse for suspicion. Sun Xin is right to be careful, especially what these two people say is too easy to be caught.

As expected, Sun Xin was impeccable in his work. The second day after the two men were delivered, the guard who heard the two men's conversation was also delivered, and Wang Tong was also asked to arrange it.

Looking at this personal guard, Wang Tong immediately understood Sun Xin's intentions. This personal guard was also from an old background, but he was a hidden pile arranged by the Jinyiwei system in the army. Although the Jinyiwei was also under Wang Tong's control, this secret guard The pile was actually inserted by Wang Tong'an, and he has always been regarded as one of his own.

But just to be on the safe side, Sun Xin didn't dare to guarantee the reliability of Jin Yiwei, so he sent them together, and made the three of them not face each other.

Wang Tong couldn't help but smiled wryly. This personal guard is really a direct descendant. Although he has the status of Jinyiwei, he is Wang Tong's own Jinyiwei. He was recruited by Tianjin Wei, but Sun Xin and others don't know There is no big mistake in this relationship, Wang Tong thought about it, and he must invite Yang Sichen to write a few letters to the generals of the Forbidden Army to give him some advice.

**************
Defeated like a mountain, it seems to be a bit of a compliment to describe the situation in North Korea, and it seems a bit insufficient to describe the progress of the Japanese army with overwhelming momentum.

In the military report passed on to Wang Tong by the quick horse of the capital at the beginning of July, the Japanese army had already captured Pyongyang. At any rate, the Korean Kingdom, which was as large as the province of Ming Dynasty, was crushed by the Japanese army in just a few months. On the site of only one county.

Now only the northwestern area of ​​Pyongan Road is still under the control of North Korea. The reason why the Japanese army has not been defeated is not because the Japanese army did not fight, but because the Japanese army advanced too fast and the logistics supplies could no longer keep up.

They also knew that North Korea was poor, but they didn't expect North Korea to be so poor. Pyongyang is the second largest city in North Korea, and they couldn't find much food. In desperation, they could only occupy Pyongyang City and divide their troops to go Only by looting everywhere can the logistics be maintained.

Of course, the more important thing is that we are about to reach the border of Ming Dynasty. No matter how confident we are when we come here, when we really have to face this behemoth, the generals of the Japanese army are extremely nervous and dare not venture forward. Occupy the area, wait for the army behind to come up before starting the future strategy.

This kind of situation made Ming Dynasty unable to understand. In the impression of the emperor and ministers of Ming Dynasty, the Koreans can be regarded as able to fight. Of course, this impression is the impression of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang when he founded the country. He contributed a lot in the battle, and also drove the Jurchens who were active in Liaodong at that time to a place further north.

Such a combat power can be regarded as capable of fighting, but why is it so vulnerable in front of the Japanese army?
Emperor Wanli directly arranged for ministers to go over and ask, "Your North Korea can be regarded as a country in the east, why is it so unbearable?" The area where the king of North Korea can give orders is no more than that of a county magistrate. He replied, "The country is weak and the pirates are cruel."

The flames of war have reached the border, so naturally we can't treat it as leisurely as in March and April. After the Emperor Wanli gathered the cabinet center to discuss, he directly issued an order to Xu Guangguo, governor of Liaoning, to be in charge of dealing with Korean Japanese pirates. The pirates took advantage of the loophole.

If it is elsewhere, the imperial court has already mobilized large soldiers to go there first, but Liaoning is different. Although this province is newly established, it was originally a town in the east of Liaodong, with sufficient troops. The combined forces controlled by the three general soldiers now are enough. There are more than [-] troops. If the Japanese pirates are as the North Koreans said, only [-], then Liaodong's troops are enough to handle it.

****************
Li Chengliang, the original Liaodong General Soldier, is now in his 60s. A few years ago, he was full of energy and healthy. He looked like a man in his 40s. He also became bent a lot and became a standard old man.

Although he is old and powerful, he is still mentally good. Li Rubai is now the commander-in-chief of Liaoxi. Here, Liaodong General Soldier Ma Lin and Liaonan General Soldier Sun Shoulian are his former subordinates and disciples, and they want to give face.

Xu Guangguo, the governor of Liaoning, received the order from the imperial court, and because the Li family was well informed in Liaoning, this matter was soon known, and Li Rubai did not regard this as a big deal.

Compared to Li Chengliang, who was devoted to running his own family, and Li Rusong, who wanted to do some practical things in the Xuanfu, Li Rubai just wanted to be a general of the Taiping Army, practice on time, hang out with his wives and concubines at home on weekdays, or just fight eagles and lackeys. It's easy and happy, there is no need to worry too much.

However, when the news of the decree arrived in Liaoyang, Li Rubai was in one of his outer houses, hanging out with a woman bought from the capital, and was having a good time, but someone came from his own house, saying that the old man asked the old man to go back.

Regardless of the fact that Li Chengliang has no official position now, Li Rubai is the chief soldier, but everyone at home knows who is in charge of the speech. Li Rubai felt disappointed, but he didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly packed up and followed him back.

"The Japanese are approaching Yizhou. The imperial court ordered Xu Guangguo to prepare there. What are your plans?"

Even though it was summer, Li Chengliang was still wearing a thick cloth robe in the room, and asked tremblingly, Li Rubai picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it, wiped his mouth, and said carelessly:

"That bastard Sun Shoulian is guarding over there now, let him worry about it."

After speaking halfway, seeing Li Chengliang's face darken, Li Rubai stopped quickly, sat up straight and said:
"Father is so old and not in good health, so don't worry about these things. What does this have to do with our Li family now."

"The old man's health is not good, and it's because you are such a foolish bastard. You are content with guarding the land in western Liaoning. You become the general soldier, and your younger brothers will follow you in western Liaoning. There will be no future in the future." ?”

Li Chengliang's voice raised, Li Rubai quickly stood up and bowed his head and said:

"The boy didn't think carefully, what's the father's plan?"

"Marin has to prepare the grassland and stare outside the side wall. The battalion head in his hand can't be moved easily. Sun Shoulian's side has about [-] people who can take it out. Liaodong wants to use troops against North Korea. , who can be more suitable than our family, who can be more powerful than ours, you seized this opportunity, let the Li family's nephews make some meritorious deeds, and more people go out to spread their branches and leaves, even if you go to the Xuanfu, there is a Saying depends."

"Yes, yes, when Xu Guangguo has something to say, will my son immediately go to ask for a fight?"

Only then did Li Chengliang nod his head, and then exhort again:

"He's willing to spend his money. Although Xu Guangguo is capable, he's not unreasonable. If you have enough money, he won't stop doing things."

Xu Guangguo's reputation is known to the whole world, Li Rubai said with a smile:

"This son is spared, please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, this meritorious service belongs to our Li family. What are Japanese pirates? Qi Jiguang recruited farmers and miners for a year who can chop melons and vegetables. It is even easier for our Li family's cavalry to clean them up!"
