Chapter 19: The Cause of Death of the Imperial General

  Li Jianwen summoned all the generals to hold a military meeting, and after studying for half a day, they discovered that they had already changed their opponent and were no longer facing Feng Sheng'e.

  "Who is it?" Ri Jeong-seon was very dissatisfied with the intelligence department, and since the Pyeongyang uprising that night, the empire's intelligence had been very poor.

  Looking at the officer who was like a fierce tiger, the regimental commander who had just suffered losses, was afraid that Shang Wen would lose his temper and use Liu Sheng's new sword technique to give him a sword. He carefully replied: "I heard it was Ye Zhikui's troops."

  "What's with Ha Yeon-woo? He seems to have some meaning, how did he end up here, didn't he go to Daedo Island?" Jikseon Sangmun said. The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, his information was already outdated.

  The regimental commander and the surrounding deputy officers broke out in a cold sweat, saying: "General, this morning there was intelligence from ōshima's side that ōshima had been defeated by Ye Zhiwei, the 11th Regiment's military flag had been captured by Ye Zhiwei, and ōshima had committed seppuku, having already died for the Empire."

  Rikken Shōbun only then thought of the paper he had used in the toilet that morning, and with a cold hum, Rikken Shōbun said: "ōshima Yoshimasa's death is not enough to atone for his guilt. He actually let the Imperial Army flag fall into the hands of the Chinese and be insulted. It can be said that it is the shame of the Empire. If he doesn't kill himself, I don't mind helping him make a mistake. Hum! Ha Kōki, this creator of shame for the Great Japanese Empire, will be cleaned up by me today."

  Li Jian still deserves the title of famous general, facing Ye Zhiwei's elite soldiers, decided to abandon the wave-style attack method, concentrate his forces to attack a point on Ye Zhiwei's defensive position first, and then expand from that point, when the time comes, Ye Zhiwei will surely die without a place to bury him.

  Li Jingwen was indulging in fantasies when someone under him came to report that the enemy army was forming a battle array.

  What's going on? Ye Zhi Kui still thinks it's the Three Kingdoms era, right? Li Jian Shang Wen became curious and decided to take a look at what Ye Zhi Kui was up to. As soon as Li Jian Shang Wen went out, he heard the scolding and immediately got so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.

  It turned out that Yeh Zhi-kui ordered Jian Ren to lead his men and all the soldiers who could speak Japanese, shouting through a loudspeaker from afar, listing Li Jian's numerous crimes. There were curses that Li Jian had been a plaything of Matsudaira Sadanobu since he was five years old, and because he had been toyed with since childhood, he had psychological shadows, and his younger brother had never grown up. Later, it became even more unbearable, the painful experiences of his childhood made him psychologically abnormal from an early age, and when he grew up, he spared no one, from three-year-old children to seventy or eighty year old men, naming names and speaking with relish. The Japanese soldiers on this side also listened with great interest.

  At that time, I used the languages of China, Japan and Korea to scold people to my heart's content. After the war, a soldier published a book called "The Complete Book of Insults by Jianren" based on his memory, which became a bestseller in China, Japan and Korea.

  Rikichiyo Shōbun was completely enraged, truly an imperial shame. The Imperial Army had actually surrendered to the Chinese, and even turned around to insult themselves. Although most of what they said were facts, some parts were simply fabricated lies. Letting out three loud roars, Rikichiyo Shōbun used his Yagyū Shinmei-ryū sword technique to cut the earthworms on the ground into three segments, ordering his subordinate commanders to launch a death charge.

  Here is the translation:

  Just then, when Li Jianwen ordered an attack, Ye Zhi-kui had a dozen or more soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms brought over by Tu Fu. He let out a sigh; Ye Zhi-kui hadn't expected to use them so soon. These soldiers were all Koreans who understood Japanese and bore a deep grudge against the Japanese. Some of them had originally been assassins, and they were among those that Tu Fu had spent days recruiting as suicide troops.

  Li Jing's behavior is truly that of a beast. Wherever his army passed, they left behind only empty homes and dead bodies. They looted and burned everything in their path, leaving nothing untouched. The Koreans hated him with a passion.

  But the Koreans, they are indeed very despicable in battle, however their assassination techniques are still quite skilled. In history, they have been infatuated with Japan's Minister of War, tirelessly carrying out assassinations.

  Ye Zhiwei looked at these North Koreans, their clothes were all tied with explosives, they were human bombs.

  Yip Kwei's expression was solemn, and he first bowed to them. He had great respect for these people who were willing to die for the cause. He raised his wine cup and shouted loudly: "Everyone, you have gathered here today for one purpose, that is to resist the invasion of the Japanese, for the nation, for Korea, and for your own revenge. Today's Korea cannot but resist, today's Korea wants to get rid of the shackles of the Japanese, it cannot but resist, today's Korea wants to be on par with the world powers, it cannot but resist. Resist! Resist! Throw away your heads, shed hot blood, Korea should loudly proclaim resistance to the world. Today, you will be the pioneers of resistance, and with your blood, awaken the spirit of resistance in tens of millions of Korean compatriots. Come on, brave warriors, drink up this cup of wine, and farewell!"

  Ye Zhi Kui gulped down a bowl of wine, turned around and walked away. He didn't care if they could understand or not, anyway someone would help him translate later. These Koreans would sneak into the Japanese army's retreating troops at nightfall and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Li Jianwen. They were true-to-form dead soldiers. What Ye Zhi Kui didn't know was that since he pioneered the human bomb attack, the Koreans had been emulating him, conducting a manhunt on him, calling him the father of human bombs.

  Ryōma Nagato is a commander with severe voluntarism, which has something to do with his being a warrior. However, this time he really kicked the iron plate, and didn't know how many times he had attacked, each time looking like the enemy was on the verge of collapse, but just wouldn't break. It's like doing... love, when every time you're about to **, suddenly it's all **, if you come so many times, I'm afraid you'll be premature from now on.

  He didn't know that Yeh Zhikui was also frightened by his desperate fighting style, and if it wasn't for the timely contraction of troops and the fact that their own artillery outnumbered the Japanese army, Li Jianwen would have been pushed back.

  The battle lasted from noon till dusk with several instances of hand-to-hand combat, and the Korean suicide troops also managed to infiltrate into the Japanese army.

  At night, a brief ceasefire. Kid, your mom is calling you back home for dinner. A soldier came to report that Feng Sheng Ah was getting angry because he couldn't get used to the military rations. Ye Zhi Kui didn't think it was a big deal, saying "I'm eating the same thing too!" You want to eat luxurious food? Dream on! Ye Zhi Kui found Zhao Er Gou and whispered a few words in his ear.

  The cannon fire started again, this time because the sky had gradually darkened, so neither side was prepared to engage in a prolonged artillery battle. However, just at that moment, two consecutive cannon shots hit the tent of General Feng Sheng'a's rear camp. Before long, soldiers came crying to report that General Feng had been blown to death and his body could not be found. Ye Ziku cried out twice and ordered the soldiers to gather up his belongings to send back to the imperial court after the battle.

  The next day, the news of Feng Sheng's death by bombing spread, and a Japanese artilleryman took responsibility for it. He said that he had been shooting cannons since childhood, using cannons like gods, taking enemy heads thousands of miles away as if searching for objects in his pocket. After the war, he even wrote a book called "My Artillery Battle", which carefully described each process of shooting cannons, including this war.

  However, according to the recollections of veterans after the war, the Japanese artillery positions were relatively far away from the Fengshengya campsite on that day, and in general, the Japanese cannons were not within range. Those who studied history came out one after another to express their own views, but in the end, no one could convince anyone else, and this matter also became another unsolved mystery of this war.

  Another unsolved mystery of this war is how Ryōken Shōbun really died. Was he really killed by the Koreans or did he die accidentally? Now, please welcome our CCTV's Unsolved Historical Mysteries column group, and let the famous historian Zhu Moumou tell us about it...

  But the truth of history is that on that night, Rikichi Andō led the Japanese army to attack again, but still made no progress. The depressed Rikichi Andō lay in bed and couldn't sleep, thinking about those imperial traitors, Japan's shame, and the Japanese collaborators who insulted him by saying his little brother was impotent.

  Li Jianwen couldn't help but get up and take out his own little brother, looking left and right to find that it was indeed very small. He suddenly thought of a secret recipe, saying that honey could make his little brother grow bigger, so he found some honey and applied it to his own little brother, then lay down on the ground in a daze.

  It serves him right for his misfortune, and it just so happens that a group of carnivorous ants passed by, smelling the scent of honey. Tens of thousands of carnivorous ants suddenly pounced on Li Jianwen's little brother, biting anyone they could get their teeth into, including Li Jianwen himself. By the next day, only a skeleton was left lying in Li Jianwen's tent.

  The military god of the Great Japanese Empire, Rikio Nao, actually died in such a way without achieving his goal, which is really unacceptable. In order to cover up this fact, the officers under him linked Rikio Nao's death with the suicidal human bomb attack that night, claiming that Rikio Nao was killed by a despicable bomb attack. The truth of history was hidden in the midst of these thick fog, and even Hiroshi Yabe thought that Rikio Nao died in the suicidal attack by the Koreans.

  Brothers are giving their best efforts, and I must also give my best efforts. The second update will be delivered, and the third one might be a bit late. No more words, let's work hard on typing.
