Chapter two
"Brother! Are you going to fight again?" Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Xiao and asked.
"Yes! Big brother is going to fight again. You have to listen to your brothers at home. Study hard, you know?"
"Are you going to kill the Tatars? Avenge your fellow villagers, avenge your parents?" Xiaoyu's little hand held Li Xiao's arm, and her whole body was in Li Xiao's arms.
"Yes! Avenge the villagers, avenge the parents." Li Xiao was a little ashamed when he said this, because just now he was thinking about how to extort something from the King of North Korea.
"Then the Tatar soldiers also have fellow villagers, do they also have parents?"
"Uh...! There should be!" Li Xiao lowered his head and glanced at Xiaoyu. He didn't understand why Xiaoyu asked. He found that Xiaoyu was also looking at him with her head held high, her big eyes as clear as the water of Lake Baikal. That sense of purity made her feel
People are suffocated! Any sinful thoughts will be ashamed to death in the face of this purity.
"If you kill those Tatars, will their families come to you for revenge? Xiaoyu doesn't want revenge. Xiaoyu wants her elder brother to live a good life."
"...!" Li Xiao couldn't find anything to say for a moment. The child used her language to perfectly explain what it means to retaliate against injustice.
"Xiaoyu! The Tatar soldiers should get retribution for killing someone. It's unreliable to expect God, so the eldest brother can only do it by himself. Letting the bad guys go is the greatest disrespect for the good people who died in vain. As for whether their families will come or not.
If you come to me for revenge, then you won't care about your elder brother's affairs.
If those harmful Tatars are not killed, they will still bully us Han people in Liaodong. You know, there are still many Han people being bullied by the Tatars. Big brother is going to help them!" Li Xiao reorganized his words and said in his heart
Keep telling yourself that you are a righteous and good person. The Jurchens headed by Nurhaci are bad guys and wolves.
It is the biggest enemy of undetermined harmony in this world!
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiao strengthened his belief.
"Oh! Xiaoyu knows, Xiaoyu just doesn't want to let go of her elder brother." Xiaoyu lowered her head and played with the corners of her clothes hard.
"Brother will be back soon!" Li Xiao touched Xiaoyu's head, held Xiaoyu in his arms and watched the sunset reflect the redness of the blue sea water.
Man Gui landed, and Liu Laoliu returned to the island with his fleet. Li Xiao took the baggage, artillery team and musketry team onto the warship, raised the sail and sailed towards North Korea.
The name North Korea was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, which means the country of the rising sun.
Different from those Kazakhs and Koreans in later generations, Koreans in this era all yearned for the life of the Ming Dynasty. The nobles were proud of the Ming Dynasty's lifestyle. The scholars recited poems and wrote poems in Chinese characters. Even the royal orders issued by the king,
There are also historical materials describing the history of the country, which are also compiled in Chinese characters.
Li Xiao, a reinforcement from the Chinese Empire, greatly excited the North Korean Li Dynasty.
Facts have proved that the big brother is still reliable. At the critical moment, the little brother has not been forgotten.
Especially when I saw Li Xiao's team wearing uniforms and carrying guns walking on the road in four columns. Both the common people and officials spontaneously gave way. They stood on the roadside and looked at Li Xiao respectfully.
team!
The military uniforms of Li Xiao's army are very different from those of the Ming army. It is already November, and it is already winter in North Korea. Li Xiao's troops are all wearing yellow-green cotton-padded clothes and hats with flip-up ears. At their feet are
Cotton shoes and gloves on hands.
In fact, Li Xiao also prepared masks for them, but the weather is not that cold yet, so no one wears them.
Different from the cotton armor worn by Ming army soldiers, the musketeers and artillery soldiers in Li Xiao's team did not even have a piece of iron armor. The reason is very simple, Li Xiao did not intend to let them fight hand-to-hand.
Mangui and the other cavalrymen wore helmets and armor. The cotton-padded clothes were covered with chainmail, and the chainmail was covered with fish-scale armor. The linings inside the cotton-padded clothes were all made of silk.
Mangui is quite satisfied with this outfit. You must know that the steel used to make the armor is phosphorus-added steel tinkered by fishermen. It is the same type as the steel used in the gun barrel. This kind of armor is considered to be the elite white-armored Baja army of the Tatars.
The red-armored Baya La army was nothing more than that.
What makes Man Gui even more satisfied is the newly made saber. The blade is flat until it is slightly curved at the tip. Man Gui has tested it and chopped hundreds of copper coins with the saber without any damage to the blade. This kind of saber does not need to be too big.
With strength and horse speed, he can easily leave terrible wounds on the enemy.
The outermost layer of fish scales has been passivated by sulfuric acid. Such fish scales are not afraid of rusting even if they are exposed to rain.
Because they were wearing cotton-padded clothes, everyone looked like a pregnant polar bear. Everyone's face was flushed while riding on the horse, and they looked happy when they looked so red.
The most important thing is that this team is very clean. Everyone's clothes are clean. There is no dust on their faces, and their hair is wrapped in a clean scarf. There are no lice in the exposed hair.
Little creatures were jumping around.
Hair is the most dissatisfying part of Li Xiao's health campaign. Li Xiao really wants everyone to cut their hair short. But these days, parents are responsible for body and skin problems. This sentence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Li Xiao does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world.
Let everyone have the same idea as him.
When the team arrived at the gate of Pyongyang City, they were greeted by a fifth-rank North Korean official. North Korea's official uniform system is exactly the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. From the official uniform to the official hat, it is a complete replica of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hong Yihan, the master of Shi, has met the generals of the Ming Dynasty. May I ask who is Sir Mao of Maodu?"
"My lord did not come in person, but sent me to help your country." Li Xiao urged the war horse to the front.
"Oh! This is...!"
"I'm Li Xiao, Lord Mao, I'm the military counselor here."
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Li. Please!"
This Hong Yihan speaks with a fluent Beijing accent, and Li Xiao seems to sound purer than his own Mandarin.
"Thank you!" Li Xiao followed Hong Yihan into Pyongyang City.
The entire city where future generations of *** stayed was a typical example of filth and chaos in these days. There were low-rise houses everywhere, not many brick houses. Most of them were adobe houses, the kind where adobe bricks were used to make guns.
House with thatched roof.
Some of them are simply thatched houses. The thatched grass is covered with snowflakes, and there are holes in the roof. When the room is heated, the snow outside melts, making the thatched house look wet!
I don’t know if there are any public toilets. Anyway, when I entered the city, Li Xiao saw many Korean men taking advantage of the nooks. Anyway, they were mostly at the base of the walls. I don’t know what the people in those thatched houses felt like.
The main street in Pyongyang is paved with stones. Horse hooves make a "click" sound when stepping on it, and the trebuchet pulled by an ox cart behind it sounds like a tank.
The other side roads are all dirt roads, which are fine now. Once spring comes, these roads will be muddy swamps. If something like a trebuchet hits them, they can dig out the mud.
It is a place like this, but the royal palace of North Korea is unusually tall and gorgeous. From a distance, you can see the exhausting buildings of the Forbidden City, but everything looks a few sizes smaller.
The small gates, small towers, and even the city walls are much shorter. The soldiers standing on them are wearing long coats and holding weapons such as forks in their hands. Standing in the cold wind, their noses are dripping with tears!
When I looked back at my soldiers, they were all sweating. One glance showed that those long coats were not very good at keeping warm. Wearing open-fronted clothes in the middle of winter was like committing suicide.
"Stand still!" Ao Canghai shouted, and all the gunners and soldiers stood still. They stood like nails on the square in front of the palace!
"Master Li's army is indeed mighty!" Hong Yihan couldn't help but nodded with envy when he saw Li Xiao's army. The North Korean army simply couldn't do this kind of order and prohibition. No matter it was an elite or a militia!
"Haha!" Li Xiao accepted with a loud voice. Queue training is not for nothing!
"Where is Mao Wenlong? Where is he!"
