Li Rusong slept soundly and woke up the next morning. When he woke up, he was still in a daze. When he moved, he felt pain all over his body, especially his buttocks. He was still lying on his stomach. When he looked back, he saw! His buttocks were all bandaged!
At this time, Li Rusong finally remembered what happened before. His eyes turned red and he punched the bed.
"Xiao Ruxun! I won't let you go so easily! I will take revenge! "
Hearing Li Rusong's howl, Nurhachi, who had been outside, immediately opened the curtains and rushed in. He looked at Li Rusong like a loyal dog: "Dalang, what do you think?"
"Nu 'er, where am I now? Where?! "
"At the Fort Jiang."
Nurhachi braced himself and replied.
"Fort Jiang? I … why did you bring me back from the river?! I want to fight to the death with Xiao Ruxun! Fight to the death! Bring me back! I want to kill … Ah!!! "
Li Rusong covered his wound and Nurhachi hurriedly held him down: "Dalang, there's no hurry to take revenge, there's no need to rush! You are injured now and can't move. Otherwise, once the war starts, you won't even be able to participate. How can Master be satisfied?! You have to recuperate and join the war. Only then can you find a chance to take revenge! "
"I … Hu … Hu … I will definitely … definitely take revenge!!!"
After all, Li Rusong was an experienced general. After hearing Nurhachi's words, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down. He looked at Nurhachi for a while before letting out a deep sigh of relief.
"Find me some top quality medicinal herbs! And get me something to eat! I need to recuperate as soon as possible and join the war! Then! Then it will be time to settle the score with Xiao Ruxun! I've grown so much that I'm almost a grandfather now! No one dares to hit me except my father! Not yet! This is a great humiliation! I must take revenge!! "
Nurhachi heaved a sigh of relief and left the tent. Thinking about what Xiao Ruxun had said to him before, he pondered over it and felt that something was amiss.
This young admiral was really not a simple person … It was better not to provoke him. The most important thing was to preserve his strength.
The news of Xiao Ruxun beating up Li Rusong spread like wildfire. Those Koreans who were familiar with the prestige of Liaodong Army and General Li were deeply impressed. At the same time, their reverence towards Xiao Ruxun deepened. This lord even dared to beat up that Young Master of Liaodong Army, not to mention others. Those who wanted to find some trouble for Xiao Ruxun also extinguished their thoughts, fearing that the thick and long water and fire stick would fall on their backs.
In the following period of time, Xiao Ruxun's orders were carried out smoothly, and the number of North Korean officials that could be seen in the past decreased significantly.
On the second day of October, Shen Weijing came to Righteous State and secretly paid a visit to Xiao Ruxun.
"What do you think? How many soldiers do they have in Pyeongchang? "
Xiao Ruxun went straight to the point and blocked all the words in Shen Weijing's stomach that he had thought of to vent his bitterness and gain sympathy. Fortunately, Shen Weijing had a strong adaptability. He easily changed his mind and became capable.
"According to this old man's observation, the number should be around 15,000 to 20,000. It definitely won't be more than 20,000, but it's unlikely that it will be less than 15,000 either. The North Koreans are really treacherous. They said that they only have 1,000 soldiers, but there are already more than 10,000."
Xiao Ruxun nodded and asked: "Then what did you observe, how are the Japanese's equipment and morale? Is there a risk of running out of food? "
Shen Weijing said: "The Japanese's equipment is relatively good, and their morale is not low. They are even a little arrogant. At least they managed to thwart Zu Chengxun's attack. Their soldiers dare to fight. This old man saw swords, all kinds of shields, and a large number of firearms that the Japanese call iron cannons. They are similar to my Daming's muskets, but their performance is better. They are comparable to my Daming's muskets. As for whether they will run out of food, I don't think so."
As he said this, Shen Weijing took an iron cannon from his attendant and handed it to Xiao Ruxun: "It's funny. That President Xiao Xi really thought that Daming was going to give them some positions. Not only did he give them some money and three iron cannons, but he also gave them a name card. He said that it was the name of the main commander of their army, and it was written in Chinese."
Xiao Ruxun took the iron cannon and weighed it in his hand. It was a little heavier than the Daming's muskets. He took it and aimed at Shen Weijing, which startled Shen Weijing.
"The Daming's muskets were originally made in the Jiajing period by imitating the Japanese iron cannons and Franco muskets. After 30 years, the Japanese's iron cannon technology has become more and more sophisticated, but the Daming's muskets have not been innovated much. It is estimated that it is slightly inferior to the iron cannon in terms of range and stability. Let me have a look at the advantages of the iron cannon. What about the name card you mentioned? Let me have a look. "
Shen Weijing handed over the name card.
"President Xiao Xi, Matsuura Zhenxin, Zong Yizhi, Kokubi Hayashi, Gojima Jungen, Konishi Yukiro, Konishi Antonio … August of Hibiya? The first two names are okay, but the last two, what about them? Or a Franco? Do they believe in Christ? "
Shen Weijing sneered and said, "Mr. Xixi also bragged to me that his family believes in a religion from the land of Franco Taisi. Yes, it seems to be Christ or something. You really know a lot. It's similar to our Taoism and Buddhism. This religion is the same as Buddhism. They like to give people Dharma names. Those two are Dharma names, but they don't write their real names."
While laughing, he thought of something and said: "Commander, you have to pay attention to this Matsuura Zhenxin. President Xiao Xi didn't brag to this old man once or twice that the Matsuura family is famous for being strong. They are especially good at using iron cannons. The Matsuura family's soldiers are all iron cannons. They are very strong."
"Strong? My Ningxia firearms camp has 3000 cannon soldiers, and we also transferred 2000 cannon soldiers from Zhejiang to prepare for war. In total, there are 5000 cannon soldiers. I want to see if their cannon soldiers are stronger or my Daming's cannon soldiers are stronger! The Japanese pirates don't know how to use cannons. They specialize in muskets, but the power of muskets is far less than cannons. My army has more than 600 cannons. When the time comes, we only need 100 cannons to destroy the Japanese! Humph! "
Xiao Ruxun threw the piece of paper on the ground, his domineering aura was exposed.
Shen Weijing immediately flattered him – this was someone who even dared to beat Li Rusong!
Xiao Ruxun picked up the iron cannon and carefully observed it. Then he looked at Shen Weijing and said: "That matter, how is it?"
Shen Weijing immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Ruxun's words and said: "Commander, this old man has done his best, but the Japanese are very strict. This old man has no way to leave and observe. I can only ask them what they need the help of so many North Koreans. They want the Japanese to tie up those North Korean traitors who surrendered to the Japanese and hand them over to us."
"What did President Xiao Xi say?"
Xiao Ruxun still didn't raise his head, fiddling with the iron cannon in his hand.
"Xiao Xi said that they also need some North Korean translators and guides to lead the way. That's why they asked these North Koreans to help tie up the traitors. He also agreed, but I don't know if he will really do it."
Xiao Ruxun raised his head, looked at Shen Weijing for a while, and revealed a little smile: "Okay, I got it. You have done a good job in this matter. You did not fail the mission. Reward you 200 taels of silver. Keep the money that the Japanese gave you. It's yours. Then, you will live in Yi Zhou for a period of time. I think there is a possibility that you will be sent out as an envoy. Don't rush to leave for the time being. When the matter here is finished, I will arrange for you to go back to your hometown to enjoy your retirement.
Don't worry! "Shen Weijing was a little scared by Xiao Ruxun's stare. After hearing Xiao Ruxun's words, he was a little relieved and took his leave. Thinking about Xiao Ruxun's every move, the more he felt that this Admiral Xiao was really a difficult person to deal with. He felt that he couldn't see through him no matter how hard he tried. He was a person who had been in Jianghu for decades. He could even fool people like President Xiao Xi. Why couldn't he see through this young admiral?
But on second thought, if he could be seen through so easily, he wouldn't be able to command tens of thousands of troops in his twenties. Come to think of it, he was also an outstanding person, a genius who appeared once in a few decades. He really didn't care about his small skills.
Anyway, he had got the taels of silver. These days, he could live in Yi Zhou. He still had some use for them. Even if Xiao Ruxun went back on his word, he wouldn't act against him so soon. It was definitely right to take advantage of this time to contact some reliable people and leave a way out.
