Off the coast of Jinju, except for the roaring waves, the whole world is quiet.
Bai Dasheng waited not long before several small boats slowly sailed from the river mouth in the distance.
It was clear through the telescope that the people above were the family records of the Korean Department of the Ministry of Intelligence and Liu Lin.
The arrival of the Qing army made Liu Zhifa, Liu Zhifang and others completely lose their cool and chose to believe Guo Ting.
After they left Jinzhou, they headed south. Under the careful coordination of the Intelligence Department, they encountered no obstacles and were quickly on board the ship.
It wasn't until the boat sailed into the middle of the river that Guo Ting felt relieved.
He knew the plan worked.
The naval detachment led by Bai Dasheng is waiting offshore.
One purpose is to catch them in case things change.
Another purpose...
Looking at the fleet across the sea, everyone in the Liu family was frightened.
Especially the Linqing in front looked like a solid castle from a distance, which made them exclaim again and again.
Liu Zhifa and Liu Zhifang were brought to Bai Dasheng.
"Two young masters, congratulations on your escape. From now on, under the protection of my Xia army, you will be safe and sound."
Liu Zhifa and Liu Zhifang carefully observed Xia Jun around them.
In their impression, the sense of the army is not very good. Now the whole family is here, and there are many girls among them. If these Qiu Ba get angry...
When they saw that the Xia Army soldiers were just running back and forth, busy with their duties and didn't even bother to take a second look at them, the two of them finally settled down.
"General Bai, I wonder where Jiayan is?"
Even if they didn't ask about Liu Lin, Bai Dasheng would still say it.
This will affect the next battle.
"Your father is currently busy fighting and has no time to spare. However, he is very concerned about your safety and always asks about it. Can you please write a letter to your father to report that you are safe?"
Although they could not see their father, Liu Zhifa and Liu Zhifang felt relieved after hearing that they could write letters.
With the pen and paper given by Xia Jun, they wrote a letter home in a confident manner.
In North Korea of this era, as long as any scholar writes, he must write in Chinese characters. So Bai Dasheng just glanced at it and knew the entire content.
His lips pursed for a moment, and then he remained silent, and neither of them noticed anything.
"Now the Qing army has arrived in this area. Everything is in a mess. It is really no place to stay. I also ask the two young masters to lead the family to withdraw with our army to Busan. As for this letter, please don't worry, I promise that it will be delivered. Your Majesty’s hand.”
Wandering outside, life or death is uncertain.
Liu Zhifa and Liu Zhifang had no other choice but to trust Xia Jun.
The two of them were taken onto other ships, left the fleet, and headed east.
Guo Ting stayed.
"Chief of Staff, do you plan to make some articles out of this letter?"
They are all smart people, and in terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, the Intelligence Department is definitely above the military.
Bai Dasheng did not feel resentful about his thoughts being discovered.
"I still need to trouble Director Guo about this matter."
He handed over the letter.
"Is there any way to deliver this letter to Liu Lin?"
Guo Ting took it and read it again, and immediately understood.
When Liu Lin received this letter, she not only felt uneasy, but also feared that she would not be able to gain a foothold in the North Korean court.
He was still a little worried.
"Will this harm Liu Lin?"
Bai Dasheng's face was gloomy.
"If he doesn't come over to us, he will become our enemy. Of course, we should use all our means to deal with the enemy, so why should we care about anything else?"
This statement is certainly correct, and Guo Ting also agrees with it.
"Leave this matter to me."
Quannan, right water camp.
Liu Lin is still stationed here and has never moved a step.
It's not that he doesn't want to move, but that there is insufficient food and grass, and the army is starting to starve.
Today, all the sergeants were summoned by him to watch a military law.
In the open space in the middle, a man with a naked upper body was hanging on a wooden shelf, and he was being whipped by Liu Lin with a whip.
Every time he was beaten, the man let out a miserable cry. He was obviously shaking all over in pain, but he didn't say a word to beg for mercy.
After being whipped for a hundred times, the man's skin and flesh were torn apart by the beatings, and blood was scattered all over the ground like light rain, which made the sergeants around him tremble in fear.
Liu Lin was tired from the beating, so she stopped and began to lecture.
"When you are a soldier and eat food, what is your first priority? Of course it is to protect the country and the people. Cui Yuhou did not respect the way of a warrior, robbed the people of their food, and even killed seven members of the people's family. Do you know the crime?"
The person who was beaten was also very stubborn. He took a breath and still sounded sad and angry.
"Xi Ba! Those barbarians are killing people and setting fires everywhere. They treat us Koreans like dogs. Since the commander wants to enforce military law, why do he turn a blind eye? They only dare to attack our hungry subordinates. Do we deserve to die?"
This blunt defense made many of the surrounding sergeants look sympathetic.
Liu Lin felt even more depressed in her heart. She wanted to refute it, but she didn't know where to start.
Just because he knew that everything Cui Yuhou said was true.
Wherever the Qing army went, all Korean people suffered. The destruction of the family and the death of people are all vivid in my mind.
What's hateful is that as soldiers, they should have protected the country and the people, but they could only watch the Qing troops committing crimes everywhere, with no way to do anything.
The Qing army seized a lot of land from the Koreans, and they ate only the best rice, noodles, vegetables and meat. But these local troops have not received a grain of food for a long time.
Many soldiers sneaked out to steal and plunder, but Liu Lin didn't know about it, but she could only turn a blind eye.
Only this time, Yu Hou Cui Guilin made things worse.
He broke into a petty official's house in the middle of the night to steal food, and was discovered.
Cui Guilin became so angry that he went so far as to kill all seven members of the official's family.
He himself did not run away. He was caught by nearby people and taken to the military camp, where they all demanded an explanation.
Seeing the deterioration of military discipline, Liu Lin was furious and decided to use this matter to clean up the situation.
However, it turns out that in order to maintain the discipline of an army, the most basic thing is actually material.
It is obviously wishful thinking for the hungry army to emphasize discipline.
According to Liu Lin's original intention, she originally wanted to behead Cui Guilin as a warning to others.
At this time, he saw faint signs of unrest within the army, and he did not dare to make a big move.
"If you ever harm the people again in the future, I will definitely not forgive you!"
After that, Liu Lin threw away the whip and left in depression, ending the incident hastily.
But even so, Cui Guilin, who was beaten to death, still felt resentful. A pair of wild wolf-like eyes stared at Liu Lin's back, not knowing what was brewing.
