Steel Dynasty - Chapter 728

[Chapter 727 Blue sea and blue sky]

Li Cheng returned to the Goryeo Royal City, Ryugyong City, in a state of embarrassment.

Looking at the prosperous capital city in front of him, known as Xijing of Goryeo, he could imagine that his brother would utter the word “waste” with contempt on his face to mock him.

It’s just that compared to losing your life, even if you lose your dignity, there is nothing when you die, but there is still hope when you are alive.

“Hahaha, Li Cheng is here. How many heads have you come back from going to Dengzhou this time?” Just when Li Cheng was hesitating whether to enter the city, a pair of Goryeo soldiers wearing red tasseled dome helmets stopped in front of him. .

Li Chengzai is indeed a young man of similar age to him.

“Look at their clean hands. They must have come back without killing anyone.” The soldier behind the young man sneered loudly.

Another soldier said: “I’m afraid not only one person was not killed, but several of our own people were also killed.”

After saying that, all the soldiers laughed, and at the same time they raised the bloody heads in their hands, as if to show off to Li Chengzai.

“Huh, every fishing village in Dengzhou is well-defended, and every village has soldiers wearing full armor. It’s not easy for two hundred people to attack a village. I, Li Cheng, can’t do it, and you, Jin Changxi, can’t do it that easily. We can do it.”

Li Chengzai’s face turned pale. He looked at the ferocious soldiers behind Jin Changxi and said, “I’m afraid the heads in your hands are not from Dayu people, but from the indiscriminate killing of Goryeo people.”

Jin Changxi’s pupils were fierce .

The ground shrank, and Li Cheng was right about the origin of these heads.

Many ships that went to Goryeo this time returned without success, so in order to claim credit, many generals took the idea of Goryeo people. They killed some people in remote villages and came back with their heads.

“You yourself are a waste, are others also a waste?” Jin Changxi looked at Li Chengzai coldly and proudly. He and Li Chengzai were both the second sons of the family.

The purpose of venturing out this time was to show off in front of his father and get rid of his inferior status at home.

This time, in order to repay the indemnity paid by the Japanese, the King of Goryeo promised that anyone who beheaded ten people from the Yu Kingdom would be promoted to captain, anyone who beheaded a hundred people from the Yu Kingdom would be promoted to a centurion, and anyone who beheaded a thousand people would be promoted to a thousand captain.

If the looted wealth is turned over to the state treasury, they can get one-tenth of it. At the same time, they can also get houses and fields according to their official ranks.

The most important thing is that this robbery does not distinguish between nobles and ordinary soldiers. Only those who can meet the requirements can be promoted.

Faced with such a huge temptation, everyone from ordinary soldiers to generals went to Dayu Kingdom one after another.

“Who is a waste, who knows in his heart.” Li Chengzai and Kim Changxi were at odds with each other. Their fathers were rivals in the officialdom, so there was strong hostility between the two.

Pouting his lips, Jin Changxi showed the human head in his hand, “I’m too lazy to argue with you, now I’m going to take the head to receive the credit.”

After that, Jin Changxi ignored Li Chengzai and walked into the Liuli Palace in a swaggering manner. In the capital city.

Li Chengzai gritted his teeth. This time he really lost to Kim Changxi.

Some soldiers suggested this to him when he came back, but in the end he couldn’t bear it. Now looking at the triumphant Jin Changxi, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

The soldiers who accompanied him to Goryeo this time were all private soldiers of his family. Now they have not made any achievements and have lost twenty soldiers. His father will not give him a second chance.

While he was thinking, a sedan came out of the city and came to him.

At this time, he and the soldier knelt down at the same time. This sedan belonged to his father.

The sedan curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man with a big beard and a sinewy face came down.

The middle-aged man looked at the embarrassed private soldier, raised his foot and kicked Li Chengzai in the chest.

Li Chengzai felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then a huge force made him fall to the ground.

“You have completely disgraced the Li family. I only regret why I didn’t strangle you to death. Go away and never show up in Ailiujing City.” Li Hezai said angrily.

When he came, he saw Jin Changxi returning home with a full load, which made him even more angry. If he was not worried about the safety of his eldest son, he would not let Li Chengzai go to Dayu.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that Li Chengzai not only failed to make any achievements, but also couldn’t adapt at all. This time, others took the credit.

And how many of these heads are from Dayu and how many are from Korea.

Now the Japanese country is in the south, and the Korean people in the occupied land are constantly fleeing to the north. Who cares how many people die.

Li Chengzai’s eyes gradually turned red. His mother was just a singer in Jiaofangsi. For this reason, he had never seen his mother since he was born.

And his status in the family is like that of a servant. This time his life was almost lost in Dayu Kingdom, and he would have to suffer the humiliation of his father when he came back.

At this moment Li Chengzi became angry, his eyes were scarlet, he got up and said word for word: “Sooner or later I will make you regret it.”

After saying that, Li Chengzai walked south without looking back.

“Let’s go and don’t come back. Your despicable mother is in Haigu City. I really doubt that you are not my son at all.” Li Hezai kept shouting, but all Li Chengzai left him was a decisive look from behind.

…

On the sea two hundred miles south of Haigu City, Qingzhou warships were arranged in a “character” shape, with each warship advancing towards Haigu City at a distance of 200 meters.

The leader of the period, the Emperor, is a second-class sailing battleship, and it is already a giant in this naval battle.

At this time, Liu Chen, Xie Yuan and other naval generals were all gathered on the Emperor battleship to discuss the plan of how to encircle and annihilate the remaining battleships of Goryeo.

“Liu Chen, you lead the left army, Xie Yuan, you lead the right army, we will be surrounded on three sides to prevent any Goryeo warships from escaping.” Yue Yun spread the map of Haigu City on a low table, and the generals surrounded the city. .

“Yes, General, I will never let any Goryeo warship escape.” Liu Chen said excitedly.

This time when Goryeo was plundering Dayu, not every village had veterans like Gao Shan in Heiyan Village.

More than 800 soldiers died at the hands of Goryeo soldiers in one winter.

Every time he arrived at a plundered village, Liu Chen’s hatred for Goryeo increased. Over the years, they had been bullied miserably by the Japanese pirates pretending to be Goryeo. In the past, they had no ability to fight back and could only endure it, but now it is different. With the battleship, you no longer have to swallow your anger.

Xie Yuan seemed to be still a little frightened by the last encounter with a British warship. He said, “It is easy to defeat Goryeo, but it may not be so easy to deal with Western warships.”

Liu Chen was excited, but Xie Yuan poured cold water on him. He was angry He said: “You can’t defeat the British. Is it possible that everyone can’t defeat the British? General Yue Yun sank a British warship back then.”
