When Xiao Ruxun received the intelligence report, a Japanese woman, whom Luo Shanghai wanted to present to Xiao Ruxun on behalf of the navy, was also sent back to the Daqiu camp.
At first, these Japanese women had white powder on their faces, and some even had black teeth. It was really frightening.
The frightened Luo Shanghai immediately ordered for them to be washed. Only then did he realize that it was probably the makeup that Japanese women were used to. After that, he identified their looks, and made a choice. He ranked them high and low, and prepared to flatter them.
Luo Shangzhi was a general who understood military philosophy very well. He knew that if he gave the best to his superior, and he could only enjoy the second best, then the general would have a good impression of him. Although it was not in line with his "Luo Qianjin" image, it would be good for his future development, a real good.
There was no need to mention Wu Weizhong. He was a model of morality. Ever since General Qi passed away, he had not been seen smiling. He only lived to fight against the Japanese pirates. There was no need to please him. He only knew how to do business, and he was a clean stream in the army.
Although it was not the first time he met a superior like Xiao Ruxun, it was the first time he met such a young and disciplined general.
Even General Qi had a few concubines behind his wife's back. Not to mention that Wu Weizhong's position was not high, but Xiao Ruxun was the general of the army, and he was also deeply trusted by the emperor. Not to mention that he was conferred the title of nobility, his status was also very high. It was already very good of him not to drink and drink!
Yet, he was not tempted by the mountains of gold and silver, and did not try to make money. That was a little too much!
He treated the people of all regions equally, and tried his best to be fair...
Brother, are you here to be a model of morality? Is there such a general in the army?
What was even worse was that this Admiral Xiao was very amiable and approachable. Even when he was chatting with the soldiers, he did not seem to have the airs of an admiral. He was practically a model admiral. The only thing that was unknown was whether or not this admiral liked women.
It was said that the Admiral did not take a concubine and only had one wife. It seemed that he was not a man who was interested in women. However, according to the private rumors of some generals, when the army had just finished the battle of Pyongyang, Admiral Xiao had battled two women in the middle of the night. The momentum was astonishing, and the battle was incomparably intense. The next day, he had dark circles under his eyes, and no one knew how many days he had battled for. In the end, it was young people who were hot-tempered. From the looks of it, Admiral Xiao was not a perfect person.
That's good. Everyone has to have some preferences. If you don't have a preference that everyone knows and are really honest and clean, then everyone will really feel afraid. Even the Emperor might not feel at ease.
Luo Shangzhi was also trying to find out what General Xiao liked so that he could prescribe the right medicine. You're so good to everyone, but you don't want anything. It's not that we don't believe you, but we really suspect that you're up to no good by doing this. After all, it's not the first time in history that you've been given the yellow robe …
Chen Lin and the other generals of the navy also expressed their approval of this.
Thus, when Xiao Ruxun saw that Japanese woman with a deathly pale face, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, considering that his own behavior was indeed not very good, Xiao Ruxun also began to take care to take some things during this time, such as the best spoils of war, the most expensive valuables, and so on. He would take some first and then distribute it to the other soldiers. That would make things easier.
However, Xiao Ruxun really did not intend to take this woman. Although she was indeed not bad, looking at her trembling appearance, Xiao Ruxun lost all interest the moment it was raised. Thus, he thought about giving her to someone else.
However, when he thought about it again, this was a gift from Luo Shangzhi to him. It was also a gift from the entire navy. The generals and soldiers of the navy must have also captured a batch of women. They would definitely enjoy them. In other words, this could even be said to be a proof of the navy's loyalty, something to curry favor with him and show their loyalty. If he didn't take it, what would Luo Shangzhi think? What would the navy generals think?
The morale of the army would be shaken …
After thinking about it, Xiao Ruxun still decided to accept this woman. He called over his personal soldiers and had them take this woman down to freshen up and find some suitable clothes for her to change into. However, considering that the large army camp was not suitable for a woman to appear, he sent someone to send her back to Seoul in a car and settle her down properly. He could enjoy her when he returned to the army.
"Bring the new military order to Commander Chen and tell him that I am very satisfied with this gift. They are very thoughtful."
After expressing his attitude and making them feel at ease, Xiao Ruxun gave Chen Lin's navy an order — to arrive at the port of Pusan before noon on the 23rd of the first month and begin to fire artillery at the Japanese pirates' navy in the port. Strive to sink all of them before they could react and fight. Then, they would fire at the Japanese pirates from the sea and further eliminate the hope of the Japanese pirates.
At the same time that the order was given, Yuan Huang walked into Xiao Ruxun's large tent.
"Ji Xin, this old man has gone to take a look. That Wo city is indeed the work of a famous person. If my army were to surround and attack it with all our might, without the loss of three to five hundred people, we would not be able to take down a Wo city, no matter how many cannons we have. Now that I think about it, it was a wise decision that you did not order the entire army to attack. Otherwise, you and I would have been escorted back to the court to await punishment."
Yuan Huang took off his thick coat and sat by the stove to warm himself. "It's really sturdy. It's practically maximizing its defensive capabilities. Unless our cannons are three times stronger than they are now, it would be impossible to break through such a city with cannons. Those Japanese pirates are really not easy to deal with. At least, this city is something that I can't do anything about."
On the 20th day of the bombardment, the Ming Army's commandos suffered a bit of a loss in the Wo city guarded by Fukushima Masanori. In the end, they were unable to take down the city. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun pretended to have an emergency discussion with the Japanese pirates. He ordered the army to cease fire for two hours, giving the Japanese a buffer period of two hours. He made two requests. One was to hand over the murderers who hurt the Daming soldiers, and the second was to hand over the Wo city. Otherwise, the bombardment and attack would not stop.
The Yukita family had no choice but to accept Xiao Ruxun's request. They asked Fukushima Masanori to send 18 scapegoats, and they retreated to the other Wo cities with their troops. They lost their energy like a frosted eggplant. When they arrived at the new Wo city, they fainted and began to have a fever.
Because of this, the Ming Army also obtained a Wo city. The first thing Yuan Huang did was go to the Wo city to check out the architectural features of the Wo city. He only came back now.
"I realized that I couldn't do anything, so I took a big detour to get the navy here. Otherwise, we would have taken them down directly."
Xiao Ruxun smiled and sat next to Yuan Huang.
"Let's not talk about this. How is it? Did the military report come?"
"Yes, Tsushima Island has been taken down. Chen Lin did not disappoint."
"Good!"
Yuan Huang was overjoyed. "With this, the Japanese pirates' supply line has been completely cut off. They are finished! This battle has actually been won. Only the last attack is left to make them fall into despair! Ji Xin, what do you plan to do next? Persuade them to surrender or attack? Let me do some research. Maybe I can come up with some ways to attack the city. "
