Chapter 175 Chang Yuchun's grandson
In the military camp of Tiechejun, Li Jie looked at the training of Tiechejun in front of him with great interest. As the world's first pure firearm unit, the training of Tiechejun is still mainly based on three-stage strikes, but some corresponding changes have been made. The soldiers also have bayonets installed on the muskets in their hands. This is the improvement proposed by Li Jie at the beginning. However, the bayonets will generally be removed during shooting, and bayonets will only be installed in close combat.
"Brother Mu, you are about to go to Goryeo. The first time you are leading a large army to the battlefield alone, aren't you very nervous?" Li Jie asked Mu Sheng with a smile. Although Mu Sheng grew up in the military camp with Mu Ying since he was a child, it should be the first time he led his troops to the battlefield.
"It is definitely fake to say that I am not nervous, but I have been practicing for so long. If I don't go to the battlefield, I can't detect the strength of the army, so I am very much looking forward to it. In addition, the King of Yan is also a long-time general in the army. In terms of seniority, I have to call him "Uncle Fourth. I think he should take care of me." Mu Sheng also smiled.
"Actually, Goryeo is a good place to train troops. The country is weak and the army's equipment and training are poor. As long as you are careful, there should be no danger. The only thing you need to worry about is Li Chenggui and his son Li Fangyuan. These two are both great men of the generation. You should be careful on the battlefield too!" Li Jie finally warned again to avoid Mu Sheng underestimating the enemy.
"Brother Li, tell me about the situation in Goryeo. What other things need our attention?" Mu Sheng said very directly after hearing this.
"It is precisely because of this. The current situation in Goryeo is complicated and complex, and simple and simple. The reasons for this situation are both internal reasons and the reasons for our Ming Dynasty intervention..." Li Jie said and explained the situation in Goryeo in detail. Mu Sheng also listened very seriously and would raise his own questions from time to time.
In addition to the situation in Goryeo, Li Jie also talked about the situation in Japan, including the situation in Tsuma Island and Jeju Island, which also had a great impact on the situation in Goryeo. If necessary, Mu Sheng may be sent to Japan.
"I didn't expect that Brother Li, you went to Goryeo and Japan, and did so many things!" Mu Sheng also showed a shocked expression after hearing Li Jie's story. It was the first time he knew many things.
"I just took advantage of the situation, and the main thing about Goryeo is that King Yan and others are doing it, so I didn't do much effort." Li Jie said modestly with a smile.
"Brother Li, you are too polite!" Mu Sheng said in admiration again, but when he said this, he suddenly pondered for a moment and said again, "But there is a problem I can't understand. Goryeo and Japan are located in a remote place. Is it really worth the imperial court to spend so much effort to control them?"
Li Jie knew that Mu Sheng's intelligence would definitely ask this question, so he was not surprised. He immediately smiled and said, "You have to ask Your Majesty this question. You are leaving the day after tomorrow. You should go to the palace to say goodbye to Your Majesty tomorrow, right?"
"You want to ask the Emperor Grandpa?" Mu Sheng was also shocked when he heard this. Li Jie obviously knew the reason, but he refused to tell him, but asked him to ask the Emperor Grandpa. Obviously, this matter is of great importance, and even Li Jie dared not make decisions without authorization.
However, when Li Jie and Mu Sheng were chatting, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, stopped them and said, "Are you Li Jie?"
Li Jie was stunned when he saw the person who stopped him, and then laughed out loud. He saw that the person who stopped him was a seven or eight-year-old child, and he also knew that the child was named Chang Jizu, the son of the founding Duke Chang Sheng, and the grandson of King Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping.
"Yes, I am Li Jie. Is there anything wrong with the prince?" Li Jie looked at Chang Jizu in front of him and asked with a smile. It can be seen from his name that his father hopes that this child can inherit the bravery of his grandfather Chang Yuchun, and that this child is tall and taller, taller than a child of the same age, and looks very strong.
"Of course there is something wrong. I heard that it was your idea to take away all my slave soldiers and send them to the battlefield. Did you do this?" Chang Jizu stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Jieqi and asked.
"Changbaihu must not be rude, so why don't you leave me!" Mu Sheng next to him immediately scolded him when he heard this, but he also had a headache, because Chang Jizu was born in a prominent family and was young, and he was not afraid of the world and was even a little naughty. Now he is not aware of who is tricked to come to cause trouble for Li Jie?
"Brother Mu, don't worry, I want to chat with the prince!" Li Jie smiled and stopped Mu Sheng, then walked to Chang Jizu and smiled, "The army needs His Majesty's will. I am just a small companion, but I don't have that much power. The prince should know this, right?"
"I... Of course I know!" Chang Jizu was obviously a little nervous when he heard Li Jie move out. After all, he was just a child, but he finally said stubbornly.
"It's good that the prince knows it, but I'm very curious. Who told the prince this?" Li Jie asked with a smile again. Chang Jizu was just a child and shouldn't have such complicated thoughts, so he was obviously inspired.
"I heard from Uncle Xu Si. The slave soldiers in our hands were originally sent to us by our family, but now they have all been taken away." Chang Jizu had no innocence and did not feel that there was anything that could not be said, so he directly explained the person behind the scenes.
"It's indeed a bastard Xu Tianshou!" Mu Sheng next to him said angrily. Xu Tianshou is Xu Da's youngest son, a generation higher than Chang Jizu. This kid is the most sinister. He is dissatisfied and dare not say it directly. He actually encourages a child like Chang Jizu to provoke trouble. It's so hateful.
However, Li Jie was not angry when he heard this, but smiled kindly at Chang Jizu again and said, "Criminal, you are Yun Hui's cousin, and I am Yun Hui's future brother-in-law. In short, you should also call me "brother-in-law". We will be a family in the future. Don't believe in the provocations of outsiders!"
Mu Sheng, who was behind Li Jie's words, secretly curled his lips. Xu Tianshou was insidious and Li Jie was not much better. He even used such nonsense to deceive a child. Speaking of which, although Chang Jizu was tall and big, he was simple-minded and was most likely to be used by others.
Sure enough, when Chang Jizu heard Li Jie's words, he nodded thoughtfully, then he looked at a sudden enlightenment and said, "Yes, you are my cousin's husband, and my cousin often praises you in front of us, saying that you are the smartest person in the world!"
"I am not the smartest person. There are so many smart people in the world. Prince, you are also very smart, but you are still young and are easily exploited by bad people. In the future, you can discuss with Yun's wife. He is your cousin. You two have a good relationship, so he will definitely not cheat you!" Li Jie touched Chang Jizu's head and said.
"Well, I understand, thank you!" Chang Jizu felt Li Jie's kindness and immediately thanked him.
"Don't be so arrogant, call me and brother-in-law!" Li Jie said with a smile again.
"My cousin!" Chang Jizu was very obedient, which was much better than Zhu Yunxiu.
Mu Sheng behind him shook his head speechlessly. Chang Jizu said that it sounds nice and honest, but to put it bluntly, he is actually not very smart and even a little naughty. When he met a smart person like Li Jie, he could impress him in just a few words.
When Li Jie heard Chang Jizu's "coon-in-law" sound, he laughed happily and immediately called the other party a cousin without hesitation. Then he asked about the other party's situation in the army with concern. Chang Jizu seemed to be so concerned for the first time. At first, he was a little embarrassed, but after slowly letting go, he completely regarded Li Jie as a relative.
In the end, Li Jie took Chang Jizu and Mu Sheng for lunch, and then said goodbye and left.
Tie Cejun was going to Goryeo, but the princes of Chang Jizu had to stay in the capital. Moreover, the slave soldiers were transferred away and they became commanders with bare hands. Of course, there were complaints in their hearts. Li Jie also understood this very well, and even he had some sympathy for these princes. After all, as hostages, they might not have any freedom in a short period of time.
However, just as Li Jie's carriage entered the capital from Shuiximen and just walked to the Sanshan Pass, his carriage was blocked again because it was the execution ground in the capital. Every time someone was beheaded, there were crowds of people, and today someone here was beheaded again.
Now Li Jie is no longer curious about beheading, and he is lazy to watch it. However, when he was executed in the court, Li Jie suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, thinking of something he ignored!
