The 1114th chapter drum sounded
Chapter 1114 The drum sounds
The soldiers from Xuanfu and the two places in western Liaoning returned to the Ming side of the Yalu River, and had no intention of stage fright. Military orders and military laws are the same thing, but they were defeated. However, they also fought with Japanese pirates with real swords and guns, and they were covered in blood. They were still joking there one day before, saying that they wanted to go to Seoul to sleep with Korean women's brothers, and they rushed to the Japanese pirates' cannon the next day. We are also man.
However, when I saw the camp of the imperial guards on the Ming side of the Yalu River, and when I saw the imperial guards entering and leaving, I couldn't help but be amazed. If such a team went to Seoul, would it be in the city now?
I don’t want to say what kind of mood each has. Everyone is listless. In the Pyongyang City, Li Rubo and Li Rumei, who were originally very arrogant and domineering, are now quiet. They urge the repair of the city defense and arrange defense all day long. The rules that they didn’t care about were all perfect. Every soldier sent out was a thousand instructions, for fear of making a rash move. In the past, these old men from the Li family looked like, and they wanted to go straight to a thousand miles every day and directly into the enemy camp to achieve success. The contrast is really too big.
It is also for the benefit of everyone, but the changes made people feel heavy and unhappy. As for Li Rusong, the eldest young master of the Li family, was no different from his younger brothers when he was in Liao Town. He listened to operas and sang songs all day long, and thought about being famous generals, but after he came back, he was extremely calm and solid, and he had not been crazy. If the old man hadn't gone crazy, how could everyone be so miserable?
But even when he went to Seoul, he was surrounded by so many Japanese pirates in Bidiguan. If Li Rusong hadn't clashed with each other and finally led his personal guards to the Japanese pirate artillery formation, it would be said whether the brothers could come back alive from Bidiguan. But there was only one pillar and backbone, and now one leg was completely useless and he was not very energetic.
Along the way, he was escorted back to Yizhou from Pyongyang. Li Rusong was muddy and didn't eat much. Every day, he just sat in a big cart and stared blankly, making everyone beside him feel depressed. Such a reluctance is really not something that people can bear. The escorted soldiers would rather go back and fight the Japanese pirates to fight to the death, than be like this.
When they were escorted to Yizhou, a group of people went to ask the military doctor to treat it first, and then hurried back after handing over the errand. Some people left the camp and rode their horses toward North Korea at all, so they went straight to their own homes, while others hurried back to North Korea. The brothers were all there to hold on and their families must be worthy of their conscience.
The imperial decree has arrived in Yizhou, and Li Rusong's official position is still there, but everyone knows that it will not be preserved for too long. He doesn't even care about such a role that is about to lose power. He even takes care of the military doctor's diagnosis and treatment. After a little look, he just said that he can't die and went to other places.
The personal guards around Li Rusong either died in the Bitu Hall or stayed in Pyongyang City. The dozen people who followed him were immediately furious. How could they bear such anger on this acre of three-point land in Liaoning? At least they were more experienced and persuaded to stop, saying that this might not be the military doctor's intention. Maybe it was Duke of Liao. Now everyone is different from the past, so let's restrain themselves.
Li Rusong's behavior was still very silly and had no words at all, as if he was deaf and blind, and he had no reaction.
Unexpectedly, after the military doctor flirted, he actually ran back within an hour, and brought a few apprentices to get medicine and treat it very carefully, which made everyone confused.
In other words, after lunch, Li Rusong and his group understood why the military doctors were arrogant and respectful at the beginning. It turned out that the Duke of Liao was coming to visit General Li. Not to mention anything else, this attitude shows that many people dared to neglect them.
After hearing this news, the Li family, who had no interest, felt a little ashamed. Originally, they had nothing to do in this battle to enter the country. It was Wang Tong who asked Li Rusong to attack the vanguard. He caused so many troubles to seize the merits, but the Duke of Liao still repays his grievances with kindness.
Even after coming from Pyongyang City, Li Rusong, who had been silent, stood up and arranged for his subordinates to clean up his clothes.
The people who came here were quite high in specifications. Except for Chen Ju, the army supervisor who stayed in Liaoyang, who was as usual, the Liao Kingdom Duke Wang Tong, the deputy army supervisor Cai Nan, and the Liaoning Governor Xu Guangguo were all here. These were almost the actual heads of the army entering the country.
The few people who came here had seen Li Rusong before. No matter when they saw him, Li Rusong was like a hero. But today, he looked haggard. What kind of military generals look like? Sitting there, he had to support him. Several people sighed.
"Yizhou is not a place for recuperation. Now the weather is warm, and walking slowly along the way will not delay your injuries. It is better to go back to Liaoyang to recuperate and treat your illness. Your family also needs one person to take charge of it."
Wang Tong's words set the tone for Li Rusong. When he heard this, Li Rusong's personal guards in the room were relieved. On the contrary, Li Rusong's reaction was not very intense, but he just owed his god and thanked him calmly.
Wang Tong and others were unwilling to stay here for such an atmosphere and attitude. They gave a greeting and said that they could speak up as needed and that someone would make detailed arrangements, so they were ready to leave.
When he arrived at the door, Li Rusong, who had been silent, spoke instead:
"Duke, what will you do to our Li family in the future?"
Wang Tong, who had walked to the door, turned around in surprise. The Li family guards in the room hurriedly bowed their heads, and they were still complaining in their hearts. It was such a situation. Why bother to provoke Wang Tong again? Wang Tong pondered for a while and said:
"Only the emperor can deal with your Li family. I can't do anything... However, your general is too powerful, Li Rubai is guilty, and his general is too powerful."
The people of the Li family were depressed, but they had to admit that Wang Tong was right. When things got so, if they wanted to sit in the position of general, that would be a delusion. Wang Tong continued to say:
"But you are the chief general in this matter, and you are fully responsible. Your brother is guilty but will not be taken away from the official position. There is still a position of general in charge. Perhaps there is also a job as a general in charge. You will not touch the property and clan members, and you don't have to worry too much."
When the people in the room heard this, some of the personal guards even forgot the rules and let out a sigh of relief. This was equivalent to losing their prominent official positions. However, the Li family and the branches in western Liaoning were still there and they would not break the family. Moreover, being a gang general or a gang general was the same as the Li family was doing the defense in western Liaoning. It was not as good as before, but after all, it was generally safe.
This is really magnanimous. Even if Li Rusong was dumb and stunned there, he was moved. After Wang Tong finished speaking, he was about to continue going out. Li Rusong said again:
"Duke, now that the Li family is in decline, what do you think about the Duke?"
This time, even Li Rusong's personal guards stared at Li Rusong with dissatisfaction. Wang Tong turned around in surprise and said with a smile:
"What does the rise and fall of the Li family have to do with me? I have never thought about anything when dealing with it according to the rules."
After saying that, Wang Tong was already out, Li Rusong sat blankly on the bed. Some people in the room went out to see him off in panic, and some people didn't know what to say, and they were worried about the handling and punishment along the way. When they found that it was not that bad, they didn't know what to do, so they simply stayed with Li Rusong in a daze.
After a while, when the person who sent the person back came back, Li Rusong reacted, patted the edge of the bed with his hand, and said:
"Looking at the sun outside, you guys help me out for a walk."
"How ridiculous the Li family did this. After all, they fought Pyongyang. They are still defending there and cannot mess up their thoughts. Moreover, the Li family is full of industries inside and outside Liaoning, and is full of branches and leaves. In the military, civil and commercial aspects, they are all in a mixed manner. If they really destroy him, Liaoning will be in turmoil. It is better to keep it. It is not a bad thing to have such a powerful family."
"What the Duke of the State said is that if the Li family is moved, I don't know how many people in the world will focus on their efforts and share money and official positions. If they slowly sink, there will be less turmoil."
Wang Tong spoke, Xu Guangguo next to him smiled and agreed, and Cai Nan said in a deep thought:
"The Lord's meaning is not only that. When the Li family is weak, I feel relieved. The governor also has a general who can motivate him and can do it more easily!"
Xu Guangguo slapped his forehead and hurriedly bowed to Wang Tong. There were one place in Liaoning, one governor and three generals. Although the governor was above him, it was actually like the governor and the general. Now that the Li family was downgraded, it was equivalent to the governor's status being higher, and it would be easier to do in the future.
"Thank you for your help..."
Halfway through his words, Wang Tong interrupted with a smile and said:
"No need to thank you. You probably won't be able to enjoy this convenience. It's probably because future generations are enjoying the cool air!"
Hearing this, Xu Guangguo was almost kneeling on the ground. Wang Tong's words clearly meant that his future was not ending here, so why didn't he cry even more grateful? He just thought that when he instigated Wang Tong to be the coach, there was no mistake in this choice, and it was simply a stroke of magic.
In mid-March, Li Rusong set off for Liaoyang. He went to Liaoyang. Although he had no official position, he was already the actual head of the Li family. Wang Tong and his men didn't care much about his itinerary. It was just that at noon one day after Li Rusong left, one day at noon, you could clearly hear cheers from the riverside from Yizhou City.
The news soon became clear. The military rations and supplies transported from Tianjin Wei and Shandong arrived. The news spread throughout Daying and Yizhou. From logistics to officers and soldiers, everyone was excited and everyone was calm.
On March 18th, Wang Tong rushed to the capital for eight hundred miles, saying that the Ming army entered the country on March 25th. On the banks of the Yalu River in Yizhou, the entire army was preparing, and was united in preparation to enter North Korea to fight against the Japanese.
The drums gradually sounded, and the curtain slowly opened.
