Chapter 75 Details Hidden in History
After coming out of Jinglue Mansion, Xiao Ruxun went to Liaodong Metropolitan Office, and got to know some officials. After handing over some work, he began to patrol the entire Liaoyang to see how many supplies had arrived, whether they were qualified, and how long it was long enough. The cost of time, etc., these are crucial things.

You know, the supply consumption of the 720 Ming army is an extremely terrifying figure. A soldier of the Ming army consumes one liter of grain a day, and a horse consumes three liters of soybeans. Soldiers in Ningxia, Zhejiang, and Shandong , Xuan Dabing, the total strength of the Ming army is more than 3000 people, and it is estimated that there will be at least 1 horses. In total, it will consume about [-] shi of grain and [-] shi of beans a day. If it is to support two months of fighting, it will need [-] grain [-] two hundred stones, horse beans more than [-] stones.

I don’t know how much the North Koreans have in store grain and horse beans, but they must have tried their best to support the consumption of the Ming army for three months.

So before Song Yingchang ordered the Ming army to gather in their own country and not go to North Korea to consume their few food reserves. This is reasonable, but some things need to be done first. The ministers discussed these issues, and then brought all the military rations of the Ming army to North Korea. First, they began to arrange the storage of military rations, so that the North Koreans could start to move earlier. Before the Ming army was assembled, the food problem had to be settled first.

The so-called three armies go first without using food and grass. If the food and grass can't keep up, it will be fatal.

Seven days later, Xiao Ruxun had almost sorted out the entire context of Liaoyang, and after giving the order to transport all the military supplies to Zhenjiang Fort, he returned the seal of Jinglue, bid farewell to Song Yingchang, and went to North Korea's Yizhou first.

He has already felt the unfriendliness of a group of civil servants and generals from Liaodong, and the obstacles he encountered when he went to check the 20 taels of military expenses pre-appropriated by the Emperor Yinkuli. I really couldn't get into this bank. Once I entered, I found that there were only 12 taels of silver left. When I asked why, 8 taels of silver were taken to appease the Liaodong Army.

In this regard, Hao Jie, who supported Xiao Ruxun, was also a little helpless. He explained that the Liaodong Army was born in a bitterly cold place. Quite lawless and harmful to the people.

The imperial court suffered from the long history of its army, but pitied its bravery. Let’s use it temporarily. The 20 taels of military expenditure would have definitely fallen into the hands of the Liaodong Army, but after Xiao Ruxun’s strategic plan was recognized, the main force of the war became the coalition forces of various provinces Not the Liaodong Army.

This made many generals of the Liaodong Army extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Ruxun. In addition, Li Chengliang and his son were unable to compete with Xiao Ruxun. Before Xiao Ruxun arrived in Liaoyang, Li Rusong arrived one step ahead. 8 taels of silver were taken away.

This kind of thing was very common in the Ming Dynasty, and it was commonplace in Liaodong. Even if a lawsuit was brought to the emperor, there would be no result. With the prestige of victory in the battle and the morale of the troops in each province, we will come to clean up the Liaodong Army.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, took away the 12 taels of silver, remembered the account, and set off for North Korea's Uiju with thirty personal guards.

On the way through Yizhou, Xiao Ruxun arrived at Zhenjiang Fort. According to Song Yingchang's previous military order, at this moment, the troops of the provinces in Liaodong should have arrived at Zhenjiang Fort to prepare for the battle. Xiao Ruxun wanted to inspect the army first. He is now stationed at Zhenjiang Fort. This group of troops should be 2000 Zhejiang soldiers led by deputy commander Wu Weizhong and general Luo Shangzhi. There were originally more than [-] Liaodong cavalry here, but the imperial court ordered the Liaodong cavalry to return to their original station to garrison and evacuate.

The armies of all provinces are on their way. The nearest ones are the Shandong soldiers, who will arrive in about 20 days, and the Xuanda crossbowmen will arrive in [-] days. Although the Ningxia Firearms Camp started early, there was still half a month to go.

It will take at least a month for the Ming army to prepare for battle, which has exceeded the 300-day date agreed with the Japanese. Therefore, this time, Xiao Ruxun also brought the protagonist of the biggest scam in East Asia in the next [-] years.

"Shen Weijing, this time the governor has put in a lot of effort to get you out of prison. You should be very clear about what to do this time, right?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Shen Weijing who was sitting anxiously in the horse-drawn cart, and said.

Shen Weijing quickly replied: "Tell... what the admiral said, the little old man knows, the little old man knows, and the little old man will definitely use his three-inch tongue to make that little Xi Xingchang not know the east, west, north, and west!"

"It's not enough! When I arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, you will cross the river to Pyongyang. Not only must the Japanese continue to relax and wait, but you must also find out for the governor the number and distribution of Japanese troops in Pyongyang at this moment, and the intelligence of the Koreans." The governor does not believe that the country's intelligence has not yet gathered in the hands of the governor.

I heard that Liaodong general Tong Yangzheng sent his nephew to the North Korean army to observe. Now that his nephew is dead, we have lost a pair of eyes. Now, the governor wants you to make these eyes. Before the war in Pyongyang, the governor You must know everything about President Xiaoxi! "

Xiao Ruxun said meaningfully: "You know, Shibutang and the others just use you as an abandoned child. They will give you a hug when they need it, and they can naturally shake you off when you don't need it. That's the usual style of civil servants, but this governor is different. The governor is a military commander, don't ask about the process, only look at the result, and you will be rewarded for your merits. If you complete the task that the governor gave you, the governor will give you enough money to live for the rest of your life, and even change your name and surname and send you back to your hometown. How about it? "

Shen Weijing hurriedly knelt down on the cart and kowtowed: "Little old man, thank you admiral for your kindness!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Ruxun nodded, then remembered a very important matter, and said, "I have one more thing that I am very concerned about, and I need you to do it."

"Listen, little old man, please speak, Admiral."

Shen Weijing grasped this life-saving straw.

"Before the governor read Zu Chengxun's interrogation book in Liaoyang, he felt that there were many doubts in it. Zu Chengxun said that when he led his troops to Pyongyang, the North Korean guides of the fifth battalion ran away and the fourth battalion disappeared. After entering the city, the vanguard was captured. Most of the Japanese musketeers hiding in private houses killed most of them. When the army entered the city to fight, it seemed that they were defeated by the Japanese who had been prepared for a long time.

More crucially, he said that when he withdrew from Pyongyang, the North Korean general Lee Khe who was accompanying him actually had a conversation with the Japanese general who was chasing him. Li Xie led his troops to kill dozens of Japanese invaders, and finally followed up to escort Zu Chengxun to retreat. No matter what the governor thought, he felt that there was something tricky about it. "

Shen Weijing is so shrewd. At this moment, in order to save his life, he raised his IQ to the peak. He grasped the main point at once: "The admiral means that there are Japanese traitors among the Koreans? They betrayed the action plan of our army?"
