Wanli 1592

Chapter 262
"Admiral? Admiral?"

In a daze, Xiao Ruxun heard someone calling him, the voice was a bit hazy, as if it came from a very far away place, making Xiao Ruxun feel a little confused, he felt very tired and sleepy, and didn't want to answer the call at all.

"Admiral? What's the matter with you? Admiral? Wake up, admiral? This...what to do...it seems..."

The sound is sometimes clear and sometimes muffled.

"It's okay...my...you...admiral! The pirates are here! Admiral!"

"The Japanese pirates are here?!"

The moment the word "Japanese pirates" sounded in his ears, Xiao Ruxun's spirit suddenly shook, his eyes opened suddenly, and his whole body was full of strength, then he jumped up and shouted: "Where are the Japanese pirates?" ?!"

Xiao Ruxun looked around nervously, but found that there was not a single Japanese pirate around, and this was clearly a military tent, his own military tent, and there were no Japanese pirates here at all, and... hadn't all the Japanese pirates been wiped out?Where are there still Japanese pirates?Obviously the Korean War is over, isn't it?
That just now...in the end...

"Look? Did I say that? This is the only way to wake the admiral."

"You hit me by mistake, didn't you? Forget it, Admiral? Are you okay?"

Xiao Ruxun turned her head following the voice, and saw her two personal guards, Zhou Tong and Liu Qi, looking at her with concern.

"What's wrong with me? Japanese pirates or something? What happened just now?"

Zhou Tong said with concern: "It's already dawn, and the admiral usually wakes up early, but today he didn't get up for a long time. I was worried, so I went in and took a look. I saw the admiral frowned tightly on the bed and closed his eyes. I think it must have been a nightmare." Right? Admiral, are you okay?"

Liu Qi also echoed and said: "Just now I heard that the admiral has been talking about the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of slaves, and the world. It's so strange. Did the admiral have a nightmare? This is also normal. None of us soldiers have any blood debts in their hands." ? Even if there are grievances lingering, it’s inevitable. After returning to the court, go to the temple to find an eminent monk and recite a Buddhist scripture. Admiral, it’s all right.”

Zhou Tong and Liu Qi thought that it was Xiao Ruxun's first time commanding a major battle, so she was under too much mental pressure and had nightmares, and was even haunted by ghosts. That's why they asked this question. Xiao Ruxun took off her whole body's defenses and sat on the bed. , Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he realized that he was just dreaming.

That very real and hopeless dream.

"It's okay, I thought of some unhappy things, it's not a nightmare, you go get some cold water, I want to wash my face."

Xiao Ruxun ordered to go down, Zhou Tong and Liu Qi promised to go down to fetch water for Xiao Ruxun, these things in the barracks are all the work of the general's personal soldiers, quite honorable things, let alone a victorious general like Xiao Ruxun.

After the two left, Xiao Ruxun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead again. Thinking of the dream just now, he didn't know how it felt in his heart. He just felt that his dream was a little too real, really, too real. It's too real. If I continue to act like this as a general, I may really follow this path.

Daming's disease cannot be cured by a general, nor can it be cured by a hermit. This is beyond doubt.

Lifting the curtain, Xiao Ruxun walked out of his military tent, and what greeted his eyes were the soldiers in full swing.

The faces were filled with joy, and the soldiers exchanged joyful plans for the future.

This scene gave Xiao Ruxun some comfort - at least, everything he did was not meaningless, at least, these people, they could more or less change the trajectory of their future lives.

And what about the trajectory of your own life?

Do you really want to sit back and watch Da Ming step by step into the abyss without doing anything?
Obviously, the answer is no, he cannot accept history repeating itself again.

Now, it is North Korea in the 21st year of Wanli. There should still be time for everything. However, that real dream should also indicate some things. It's not just a dream, if it's all just a dream, why do I feel so hopeless?

What does that portend?
Xiao Ruxun breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the soldiers to bring cold water. Xiao Ruxun rinsed his face with cold water, then cheered up and went to Song Yingchang's tent to discuss the matter of retreating back to the country. At this time, Xiao Ruxun felt that Song Yingchang needed to regroup Take a look at your own thoughts.

Song Yingchang got up very early and was dealing with military affairs. Seeing Xiao Ruxun coming, he asked, "Ji Xin, did you sleep well last night?"

"Not good, not good at all, and had a very scary dream."

"What dream?"

"I dreamed that I became a martyr of Ming Dynasty."

Song Yingchang's face froze, then he put down the pen in his hand, and said softly, "Same as the old man."

"Song Gong, you..."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Song Yingchang in surprise.

"Well, as you imagined, the old man had a terrible dream last night. After waking up from the dream, he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat. Probably, this is thinking about it every day and dreaming at night, right?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded, made a chair and sat down.

"Song Gong, after having this dream, do you still want to go back to the mountains and forests and ignore worldly affairs?"

Song Yingchang replied: "What does Ji Xin mean?"

"What the last general means is that I can't sit still and wait for death. I can't just watch Da Ming walk into a dead end step by step without doing anything. Sometimes, evasion is an accomplice."

Song Yingchang looked at Xiao Ruxun, but said nothing.

"People who can see the situation clearly don't work hard to reverse the situation. They are actually the same as those who can see the situation but help the tyrant. Song Gong, the power of one person seems small, but if everyone thinks this way, this power There will never be a chance to gather together to turn the world around."

Song Yingchang asked in a low voice: "Do you have a strategy?"

"No."

"You know that you are a military general. It is an unwritten law that military generals cannot participate in government affairs. Ji Xin, you are not allowed to participate in this matter."

"Ye Gong also said this to me back then, and my answer to Ye Gong was that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

Song Yingchang looked at Xiao Ruxun with a cold face for a while, and then suddenly laughed.

"The young man who swore to Ye Mengxiong outside the capital city that day, the old man seemed to understand why Ye Mengxiong felt that the one who helped the world must be Xiao Ruxun, but Xiao Ruxun, you have to know that if you want to help the world, you may You are about to face the dilemma of being the enemy of the whole world, and even the emperor, the emperor you desperately want to protect, is unlikely to stand on your side. Therefore, it only needs a little mistake to help the world, and you can change your banner, change your banner Lord Qing's side!"
