Super Dictator - Chapter 258 Concubine Min
The guard general of Xiuyan is Nie Guilin. He once served under Wei Jichen and was very grateful and respectful to Wei Jichen. Therefore, although he was nominally under the jurisdiction of General Shengjing, he often reported military affairs to Lushun and wanted to report to Wei Jichen. The intention to get closer is very obvious.
When Wei Jichen passed by this place, he asked him about some veterans’ land reclamation and then ended the meeting in a hurry.
Because, Wei Jichen suddenly received news of secret contact from members of Unit A.
Unless the matter was extremely important and urgent, members of Troop A would generally not leave a mark to contact them, so Wei Jichen rushed over as soon as he learned the news.
“Sir, it should be here.” Wang Huaiqing frowned, looked at the dim cave in front of him, and reported to Wei Jichen softly.
This is a hill not far from Xiuyan City. Wei Jichen, Wang Huaiqing and two soldiers followed the signs and hurried to the front of the cave.
Just as Wang Huaiqing was considering whether to send a soldier in to check first, there was a slight noise in the cave.
The soldiers quickly prepared for the attack and looked inside with vigilance.
Soon, three long and two short codes came from the cave. Wang Huaiqing felt happy and quickly answered the code.
After a moment, a loyal man with a dark complexion and no beard on his face was seen running out quickly with his head lowered and his shoulders covered.
Wei Jichen recognized him immediately. He was No. 5 of Troop A. Wei Jichen was familiar with dozens of veteran members of Troop A. This Xiao Wu was the person sent to North Korea.
Wei Jichen was startled when he saw the wounds all over his body and the newly grown beard on his face.
After the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, although North Korea became independent in name, in fact the Japanese began to gradually control North Korea’s political affairs, and the Russians also took the opportunity to intervene.
As a result, the struggle between Russia, Japan, and the Korean government was fierce, and the entire Korea was in a state of turmoil.
Could it be that?
Wei Jichen felt a little clearer. Thinking about it, this incident really happened this year. However, China’s power in North Korea is now very weak, and the specific information is not known at all. Wei Jichen can only know a thing or two based on what happened in history.
Fortunately, Liaodong is very close to North Korea. As he dispatches spies to North Korea, he will gradually understand the current situation in North Korea.
“Xiao Wu, how could it be you? What do you look like?” Although Wei Jichen was thinking a lot, he was not slow to speak. When he saw No. 5 coming out, he called out.
“Wei Shuai, you came here in person.” Xiao Wu’s face was full of surprise, and his pale and bloodless lips were trembling with excitement. Although he found out that Wei Jichen was in the city, he did not expect that Wei Jichen would come over in person.
“Wei Shuai, hurry up, I will take you to meet someone.” The expression on Xiao Wu’s face changed from excitement to excitement. It seems that the person he mentioned is more important, otherwise he would not have such an expression.
Who is the one?
Leaving two soldiers on guard outside, Wei Jichen and Wang Huaiqing dived into the dark and damp cave.
“Is your injury okay?” Wei Jichen asked concernedly as he walked away.
Xiao Wu looked indifferent and said with a smile: “Thank you very much, Wei Shuai, for caring about me. These are all external injuries. It doesn’t matter. Our old A, who is not experienced in many battles and knows some medical skills, has scarred the wound.” ”
Wei Jichen felt relieved.
After bending forward for a while, the cave became wider and wider, and I was able to straighten up and walk inside.
Xiao Wu boasted proudly and said: “Wei Shuai, this cave is a secret hiding place that I have been looking for for a long time, and I didn’t expect it to come in handy.
“Okay, if you like caves, I will build a cave specifically for you to live in from now on.” Wei Jichen said with a smile on his face.
When Xiao Wu heard this, he immediately grimaced.
It didn’t take long before they arrived at a more open place. At this time, only weak sunlight was refracted in. Fortunately, there was little ventilation in the cave, and Wei Jichen didn’t feel any chest tightness at all.
There was a bonfire burning in the center of the cave, but there was no one around it. No wonder Wei Jichen felt a little smokey just now.
“Come out, my commander is here.” Xiao Wu called out into the darkness with a calm expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jichen saw a woman of indeterminate age emerge from the corner. Time did not seem to have left any traces on this woman’s face. Even though she looked dusty, she could still tell The face is delicate and the skin can be broken by blowing.
She had a guarded look on her face. Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, it could be seen from her movements and demeanor that she was no ordinary woman.
“Wei Shuai, this is the Princess of North Korea.” Xiao Wu didn’t show off, and immediately introduced Wei Jichen with a surprising statement.
The North Korean princess, Concubine Min, who is revered by North Koreans as Queen Myeongseong?
Wei Jichen was shocked. Although he knew that the matter was related to her, he did not expect that she was standing in front of him now.
Concubine Min has controlled the Korean government for more than 20 years and can be called the Empress Dowager Cixi of North Korea. She has a great relationship with the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War. It was she who requested the Qing government to send troops.
Of course, from a nationalist standpoint, she should be much stronger than Cixi. After Korea’s independence, she remained unmoved by the bribery of the Japanese. She advocated the theory of Korean neutrality, and cleverly used the powerful relationship between the great powers to introduce In order to prevent Japan from annexing North Korea, Russian forces dissolved the pro-Japanese cabinet and formed a pro-Western cabinet. They used Russia to put pressure on Japan and force Japan to withdraw its troops.
To the Japanese, he is someone who must be eliminated quickly.
In the original history, a group of Japanese ronin broke into the Korean palace, brutally killed him, and defiled his body. Their behavior was really heinous.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu was so powerful and saved this man who was about to die. Needless to say, Concubine Min’s value is immeasurable in dealing with the North Korean issue.
“My commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief of the Dingliao Army.” Xiaowu introduced to Concubine Min.
^.^,
Concubine Min’s body shook slightly and she quickly stepped forward to greet her. Only the Ding Liao Army in Liaodong had this ability.
That day, the Japanese led troops and rushed into the palace. The situation was chaotic, with running eunuchs and maids everywhere. She was helpless and hid in the Yuhu Tower in panic.
At this moment, a wounded eunuch quickly stepped forward and asked him to exchange clothes, jewelry, and shoes with the palace maid. He also set fire to the Jade Pot Tower and took advantage of the chaos to run out of the palace with him.
Later, Concubine Min inquired about what happened that day. She heard that the Japanese ronin killed countless palace maids and eunuchs that day, and took two beautiful palace maids as herself. They killed them cruelly and abnormally. Finally, they found the Yuhu Tower and found the burned body. Only after seeing the half-burnt corpse did he give up.
After the Japanese thought they had killed Concubine Min, they immediately dismissed North Korea’s pro-Western ministers, formed a pro-Japanese cabinet, and were busy controlling the situation in North Korea. Xiao Wu took the opportunity to escort her here.
Concubine Min had already vaguely guessed that the person who saved her was someone from China, but she was not very clear about who it was. Now when she heard about it, she realized that it was someone from Wei Jichen, the famous anti-Japanese general of the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps, the Qing Dynasty Only he dares to send someone to save himself.
“The Min family of the subjugated country pays homage to the general. Thank you very much for your rescue.” Concubine Min said in relatively fluent Chinese. Concubine Min not only spoke Chinese, but was also familiar with Chinese Confucian classics.
Wei Jichen did not send anyone specifically to rescue him. Xiao Wu was only sent to North Korea to pay attention to the situation in North Korea. However, members of Unit A have great autonomy and can act expeditiously when necessary.
Of course Wei Jichen would not explain the matter clearly, but said with a faint smile: “There is no need to be polite, we are all haters of Japanese pirates, so it is natural for me to save you. However, I am weak now, so I can only do this. “
Concubine Min’s face became less wary and she asked again, “I wonder what the general has planned for me?”
She would not be so naive as to think that Wei Jichen saved her without asking for anything in return.
Wei Jichen pondered for a moment, but something unexpected happened. He had to start thinking immediately, and soon he said with a smile: “If you are willing, you can secretly organize the Korean government in exile in our land of Liaodong, seek Korean independence, and get rid of the Japanese.” Control, if you don’t want to, you can also choose to remain anonymous and live easily.”
Concubine Min didn’t need to think too much. She gritted her teeth and said, “I am incompatible with the Japanese. I also ask the general to support me in expelling Japanese forces in North Korea.”
Wei Jichen nodded with satisfaction and continued: “It’s not appropriate for you to reveal your identity now, so just feel aggrieved for the time being and pretend to be a maid in my house.”
Let the North Korean princess be a maid? Wang Huaiqing and Xiao Wu looked at each other and couldn’t help but sigh softly. A phoenix on the ground is really not as good as a chicken.
Seeing this, Wei Jichen quickly explained: “The maids in my house are all newcomers, and they only have this status. It is not easy for you to be exposed. If you are not willing, we will find a way.”
Concubine Min is only focused on revenge. As for such trivial matters, she doesn’t take it to heart at all. She said generously: “Everything is arranged by the general. But once the time comes, I ask the general to help me with all his strength. As long as I, Minzi If the situation in North Korea is regained, North Korea will surely return to being a vassal state of China.”
Although it was a verbal promise, Wei Jichen was not afraid that Concubine Min would go back on her word. Everything was in vain, and only strength was the most important.
Wei Jichen nodded and replied: “This is natural!”
After a pause, Wei Jichen asked Concubine Min: “I have changed my identity and have to choose a new name. Do you have a good idea?”
“From now on, this slave will be called Min Ziying.” Concubine Min immediately adapted to this new identity.
Wei Jichen nodded and looked at No. 5 and said, “Xiao Wu, please go back to the headquarters and take a rest for the time being.”
“Wei Shuai, the current situation in North Korea is still in chaos, and my subordinate’s identity has not been exposed, so I want to return to North Korea in the near future.” Xiao Wu said with determination.
In North Korea, Troop A sent a total of three undercover agents there. The absence of any one of them would cause great inconvenience, so No. 5 asked to return immediately regardless of his injuries.
Wei Jichen shook his head helplessly and said, “Okay, but remember, the best thing to do is to protect yourself.”
“Of course my subordinates remember that our first rule is not to be caught.” Xiao Wu said with a smile.
After returning to Xiuyan, Wei Jichen had an upright-looking maid beside him. Although Nie Guilin was a little surprised by Concubine Min’s beauty, he did not dare to ask more questions. He just thought in his heart: Wei Shuai is indeed a famous master in the capital. The romantic general, after going out for a while, he can find a beautiful maid to come back.
“General, please have tea.” Concubine Min walked in with gentle steps carrying the tea set. With her current appearance, no one would have guessed that she would be the Princess of North Korea.
Wei Jichen calmly put away the official document in his hand. Of course, he was on guard against Concubine Min. The two parties were just using each other, so naturally she couldn’t let her see some important things.
Fortunately, Concubine Min has behaved quite well in the past two days. She will return to Lushun tomorrow, so she should be placed next to Zhimiang first. Zhimiang never asks about her government affairs, and there is no talk of leaking secrets. .
“You don’t have to be so respectful when there’s no one around.” Wei Jichen persuaded with a smile.
Concubine Min shook her head and said, “Until I return to China, I will be Min Ziying, the general’s maid.”
“I heard that there has been turmoil in North Korea because of the news of your death. In order to avenge you, some North Koreans have revolted against the rule of the pro-Japanese cabinet.” Wei Jichen said unhurriedly.
Concubine Min replied with a normal expression: “These things are destined to fail. Japan is now at its peak, and its people are extremely cruel. I’m afraid there will only be a few more heads in the end.”
“Don’t you think the Russians can compete with the Japanese?” Wei Jichen asked again.
Concubine Min said sincerely: “The Russians are just as unreliable!”
“Then why do you believe me?” Wei Jichen asked puzzledly.
“Maybe it’s a woman’s intuition.” Concubine Min smiled faintly and said in her heart: “When all other countries were powerless, just because you were able to rescue me from North Korea unscathed, I know that your power is not small, and even more so Besides, allies that are too powerful will only annex me.”
