Wanli 1592

Chapter 157
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't watch the New Year with the big guys, and you come here alone to blow the wind and stand guard. What is going on in your heart, Admiral Xiao?"

"It's nothing. After the Chinese New Year, I naturally think of my family, and then I think about the future. After all, I am only in my 20s. In the future, there are still two or 30 years to go. How should the road go? Safe, how to make a future for future generations, think about everything, there is nothing wrong."

Xiao Ruxun took another sip of wine.

"Haven't heard you talk about your family?"

Yuan Huang was leaning on the wooden board, looking like a celebrity. If he could be younger, it might be a good story, but thinking of Yuan Huang's previous feat of protecting the two daughters at night, Xiao Ruxun felt that he didn't have to worry about Yuan Huang's short lifespan.

With a smile, Xiao Ruxun said: "My mother died young, and my old father led the army alone in the Beijing camp. There are four brothers in the family. I am the fourth, and all three brothers are officers in the army. I belong to a family of generals, and my wife Yang , is the daughter of Yang Zhaogong, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, oh, by the way, my beloved wife is pregnant for several months, and she will give birth in about three more months."

"Oh? That's something to be happy about." Yuan Huang said with a smile: "It's a good thing that the family has a prosperous family. Then you don't want to end this battle within three months, and then return to the capital to accompany your beloved wife? It's best to catch up Wife giving birth?"

"Before I set out for the expedition, my greatest wish was to return to the capital before my wife gave birth, and at least accompany her to give birth to the child. Don't make her worry too much. An ordinary woman is pregnant with Liujia, and her husband is always by her side to take care of her. But I have to fight endlessly, not only can't accompany me, but also make my wife worry about me at home...I can't feel sorry for her."

Xiao Ruxun took another sip of wine, his mouth full of bitterness.

"Man, don't get too entangled in the love of your children. Compared with state affairs, family affairs can only be placed second. This is the mission of you and me. If your children love you, you can only be heroic. On the battlefield, You must be pure-hearted, even cold-blooded and ruthless, and you must not let ordinary warmth shake your will and determination!"

Yuan Huang's stern warning made Xiao Ruxun nod his head: "I know, I know very well, so I have always restrained myself from thinking about home and my beloved wife, but how can I not think about this situation? Yuan Gong, do you think those pirates are also missing their family members?"

"They are human beings after all, how could they not miss their families? But..."

"But they are enemies. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Mr. Yuan, don't worry that I will be sympathetic." Xiao Ruxun sneered: "It is precisely because these Japanese pirates also have family members that I want them to experience it too." The pain of parting from my family! They killed more than 10 people in North Korea, and seeing those displaced refugees along the way made me feel really uncomfortable."

Yuan Huang looked indifferently at the sparse lights where the Japanese city was located, his eyes were cold, as if he had already sentenced those Japanese pirates to death.

The camp of the Ming army was brightly lit, full of voices and bustling, and the smell of meat and wheat was blown into the Japanese city along the wind, which made the Japanese pirate soldiers who were increasingly short of food in the Japanese city very uncomfortable.

In order to save all military supplies, recently even a little bit of light is not allowed to be lighted at will, and a little bit of rice is required to be eaten sparingly. Obviously relying on Tsushima Island, supplies can be delivered at any time, but there is always enough to eat , not warm to wear.

New Year's Day is a day for family reunion. It should have been a festival of laughter and laughter, but the Ming army spent it amidst laughter and laughter. They could only wait for the generals' decision with sad faces.

Ukita Hideo’s family really had nothing to do. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of today’s New Year’s Day to attack the Ming army to take advantage of it, but the sentinel reported that they saw the Ming army’s sentry cavalry not far away, so he knew that Xiao Ruxun was also on guard against him. , although the Ming army camp seems to be full of people and everyone is celebrating the festival, but as soon as he is dispatched, a large army will pounce on him fiercely from the darkness in an instant, tearing him up and swallowing him.

He was really terrified of being beaten, and he had a psychological shadow. When he dreamed at night, he could dream of the scene of gunfire. , so his spirit has been sluggish for the past few days, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's amazing reply made him feel at a loss for a while, neither withdrawing nor fighting.

Otherwise, are you going to prepare for peace talks with the Ming army?

But what about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's seven requirements?

In the past few days, I have been discussing this matter with Ishida Mitsunari and the others. After discussing and discussing, I found that there is nothing but cheating. I discussed with the Ming army to admit defeat. You let us go back and explained to Hideyoshi that North Korea agreed to his request. After getting permission to return to the country, when the raw rice is cooked, the army has already returned, can Toyotomi Hideyoshi go crazy again?At that time, the war-weary soldiers will probably riot.

Anyway, Ming sent troops to restore North Korea, so they were definitely unwilling to go to war, so as long as they admit defeat and surrender, the Ming army should let them go back soon, right?
Thinking about it, before you know it, the 21st year of Wanli has arrived. At that moment, the camp of the Ming army "boomed" with fireworks and crackers, and it was a posture of celebrating the new year with joy. , the night sky seemed to be illuminated, and under the dotted night sky, smiling faces were looking forward to a better tomorrow, and they also believed that a better tomorrow would come.

And this kind of festive momentum can only make the morale of the Japanese pirates even lower. Under the double impact of homesickness and fear, they can hardly arouse the will to continue fighting, and the mood of war weariness fills every corner.

Like the soldiers, after seeing such a scene, the Ukita Hide family was even more terrified than the Jingguan piled up by the Ming army. The gloom in the Ukita Hide family's heart was more intense, like a circle of dark clouds that could not be dispelled entangled in the heart , made him miserable, after thinking twice, he made a decision, no matter what, he would try.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the cooks of the Ming army were busy making dumplings for the soldiers to have a good breakfast. A group of officers, big and small, came to give Xiao Ruxun New Year's greetings in groups.

Logically speaking, there is nothing good in the army, but Xiao Ruxun also generously rewarded some of the previous spoils to each army and battalion. When paying New Year greetings to the army, the emperor also rewarded many good things. At least there is no shortage of money to spend in the camp, and there is no shortage of clothes to wear.

Except for Wu Weizhong who honestly sent a red envelope, everyone else brought some wine, meat, money, and other strange things to pay New Year's greetings to Xiao Ruxun. Although Xiao Ruxun was very strict about military discipline, it was difficult for him to say at this moment. these words.

Everyone who celebrates the Chinese New Year wants to be considerate, and he still has some accommodation, so he accepted these gifts with a smile, and then returned the gifts to the officers and generals one by one, giving red envelopes.

While everyone was congratulating each other in a friendly manner, Xiao Ruxun got the report from the soldiers.

There were Japanese pirates who came out of the Japanese city. There were only five of them, riding horses, without long weapons. The first one was not wearing armor. He should be a clerk.
