Wanli 1592

Chapter 139

"But Li Rusong is Li Chengliang's eldest son after all. Li Rusong's opinion of you has improved, which will help you in your future actions."

Seeing that Xiao Ruxun didn't care about Li Rusong's appearance at all, Yuan Huang disagreed, and said in a low voice: "At least Li Rusong won't use those little tricks to embarrass you. If he embarrasses you, you will be embarrassing too. At least in Liaodong, it will be difficult for you." .”

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"Yuan Gong, I always hope that those who want to deal with me will use tricks to deal with me. If I can deal with it, it also proves that I have not been seen through by them. If they use real skills to deal with me, it will be called embarrassment! Li Rusong doesn't use small tricks to deal with me, Li Chengliang, the great Buddha, will use big tricks to deal with me, and when he finds that even big tricks can't deal with me, he will use real skills."

Yuan Huang said with some hesitation: "Although Guochao doesn't value military generals of your generation, civil officials will never compare themselves with military generals. It's not worth it, and there is no such practice. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as the civil officials of the former Song Dynasty. You have the power of life and death over generals, you have to know that those people look down on you, which means they won't take you seriously, because they don't think you can hurt them in key interests, and what they want to deal with is Song Jinglue These people, generals, are safer."

"But what I'm going to do will change all that."

Xiao Ruxun took out a waist card of Jinyiwei, and showed it to Yuan Huang, who froze.

"This is……"

"It's as long as Mr. Yuan knows what this is, and don't say it. As I said, I will not stand idly by when I see things. I will only measure whether I can do these things. If I judge that I can do it, I will I will do it, no matter how much chance I have, it is better than not doing it, the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit, the world is prosperous, all for profit, what people do, basic necessities of life, people can't escape these things, From this point of view, there is no problem that cannot be solved, it only depends on whether the wrist is strong."

Yuan Huang stared at the waist card for a long time before saying, "No one can stop you from what you are going to do, but, Ji Xin, they are definitely not what you imagined, they are just cruel and evil, remember The end of Shi Heng and Sun Tong will help you a lot. You have to know that power is the thing that makes people lose themselves the most. Even the most determined Confucian disciples will get lost under the temptation of power. It's a general."

"Daming has no tradition of being humble and noble. The six founders and five men were military generals. Daming is not the former Song Dynasty, and military generals are not livestock. They keep saying that the ancestral system cannot be changed. Why did it change when I got here? They can change, and I can change, too. There is the ancestral system, but they don’t! I have the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, what about them?”

Xiao Ruxun put away his badge: "Everything lives when it moves, and perishes if it doesn't move. There is no such thing as forever. Time is moving forward, and no one can stay where it is."

Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.

After the army had rested overnight, Xiao Ruxun received two pieces of news. One was that four thousand cavalry arrived in Kaesong with food and supplies, and Liu Chenglong, the representative of the King of Joseon, came with him; the other was that the Japanese pirates in Seoul had withdrawn all their troops.

Xiao Ruxun's predictions did not come to nothing. After the hasty retreat, the Japanese army immediately chose to withdraw without the slightest hesitation. They retreated across the board. Except for the panic-stricken North Korean residents, there were no traces of Japanese pirates in Seoul, so Xiao Ruxun sent Ma Gui to lead the army First advance to Seoul, and then slowly go to Seoul after integrating the army.

Only after Liu Chenglong arrived in Kaesong did he know that Xiao Ruxun had defeated [-] main forces of the Japanese army at the Beeche Hall, the Japanese pirates in Seoul had fled, and Seoul had been restored. He originally wanted to kowtow to Xiao Ruxun with the King of Joseon’s gratitude for Xiao Ruxun’s recovery of Kaesong. Seeing Xiao Ruxun, he knelt down from afar, lying on the ground with a very low posture.

Xiao Ruxun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to help Liu Chenglong up.

"Mr. Liu? What are you doing? I'm not the king, how can you kneel to me?"

Liu Chenglong's face was filled with tears of excitement, sobbing choked up: "Those who have great kindness can also kneel, the admiral has the kindness of restoring the country to our country, the greatest kindness is the restoration of the country, and all our people should kneel down for the kindness of the admiral and the restoration of the country! "

Xiao Ruxun said with emotion: "The duty of this governor is to lead the troops by order. The decision to send troops is still given by the Emperor of Ming. If you want to kneel, you should kneel to the Emperor of Ming and not to me."

Liu Chenglong wept and said: "The emperor of Ming Dynasty and the general and we all have the grace of restoring the country. The foreign ministers are so grateful that they don't know what to say. They can only kneel down to thank God!"

Xiao Ruxun had nothing to say, and when Liu Chenglong calmed down, he led the army to Seoul to station together.

On November 20, the [-]th year of Wanli, Seoul returned to the Ming Dynasty coalition forces after half a year of its fall.

However, at the moment of entering Seoul, Xiao Ruxun suddenly felt angry.

Before the fall, Seoul was the largest city on the Korean Peninsula. It was rich and prosperous. Although it was slightly inferior to China, it was better than most cities in Japan at the same time. After the coalition forces entered Seoul, what they saw was a hell on earth.

At this time, there are very few remaining residents in Seoul, and the whole city is like a ghost land. Most of the buildings in the city, including the ancestral temple, bell tower, and palaces, have been burned down, leaving only ruined walls. The few survivors are all pale and emaciated, like ghosts. Wandering on the street, the street is full of corpses and bloodstains of horrible shapes. Even in the cold winter, the smell of corpses still permeates the whole city.

The whole city of Seoul was turned into a huge mortuary, only a few monks were silently packing up the corpses and carrying them to the big pit in the east of the city for burial.

I don't know how malicious the occupying army must be to ruin such a prosperous city into this look. Judging from the brutal behavior of the Japanese against Seoul, they have never seriously thought about how to digest an occupied area and effective governance.

They acted entirely on the greed of wild beasts. Under the colonialization policy of "Eight Ways" established by the government, they burned, killed and looted like a group of nomads, without any scruples. It can only be said that in the minds of these people, Nothing but killing.

Of course, we can't criticize these beasts, after all, after hundreds of years, the descendants of these beasts still haven't learned even a little lesson from their ancestors. The narrowness of the territory and the tension of the living space are deeply buried in their blood. The cruel and greedy gene is passed down from generation to generation and will never be cut off. It can be changed without education.

Thinking of Lushun, Nanjing, countless fallen cities and suffering citizens, Xiao Ruxun's anger grew even stronger.

Bailigong once said that there are two things in Japan that are most hopeless, one is education, and the other is military. I don't know if it has changed now.

After Liu Chenglong entered the city with Xiao Ruxun, he was shocked by the tragedy in front of him.
