Sitting on the deck of the Zhenyuan ship, behind me is the front main gun, which is thicker than a telegraph pole. Silver tableware is placed on the snow-white dining table. The mirror-like tableware reflects the blue sky and white clouds. You can tell it is high-end goods at a glance.

Looking far away is the city of Colombo, with a large flag with black characters on a red background erected on a high cliff.

Li Xiao and Yuan Chonghuan sat across from each other. There was a huge lobster on the dining table, which was three feet long. The hard lobster was as thick as a centimeter. The hammer smashed the huge shrimp claws. Li Xiao felt that the shrimp claws were themselves

You can eat enough.

Eat a bite of plump lobster meat and drink a sip of Wuliangye! Sure enough, fine wine and seafood are the best match.

"Old Yuan! Why don't you eat it? This kind of exotic lobster is not something you can often eat." Li Xiao took a sip of Wuliangye and looked at Yuan Chonghuan in front of him.

Not to mention exotic lobsters, even dragon meat Yuan Chonghuan can't eat now.

The Battle of Bombay completely ripped open the crotch of the Second Division. As the commander of the Second Division, Yuan Chonghuan was almost forced to commit suicide.

"People are like rice and steel. If the battle is not fought well, people have to eat, right!" Seeing Yuan Chonghuan not speaking, Li Xiao also put down the snow-white lobster meat in his hand.

Yuan Chonghuan's buttocks twisted back and forth, as if there were nails on the chair.

"Teng!" Yuan Chonghuan stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Xiao.

"Commander! I, Yuan Chonghuan, am responsible for the failure of the Second Division to fight well this time. If you want to punish me, Yuan Chonghuan. The officers and soldiers of the Second Division have done their best. Please don't punish them. There are many veterans among them who have followed from Liaodong.

Commander-in-Chief, you have no merit but hard work." Yuan Chonghuan's drooped head almost hit the deck.

Li Xiao raised his head and looked at the airship in the sky. He paced on the deck with his hands behind his back!

"Since the establishment of the army in Liaodong, I have been trying to prevent my brothers from being harmed. I have never forced you to fight a life-and-death battle. Every battle is calculated and calculated, planned and planned. If I can solve it with artillery shells, I

I will never let you risk your life.

I'm short of money! But I'm still willing to use expensive artillery shells in exchange for the enemy's life, rather than asking you to fight.

From Liaodong to Shandong, then to the capital, to the south of the Yangtze River, to the northwest, and even to the entire Ming Dynasty. You are an old man who followed Liaodong and raised troops. Calculate how many men we have lost.

The Mongolians in the northwest are causing trouble. I transferred the third division, the fourth division, and even Ao Ye's first division. I only left your second division in Fujian and Guangxi. I always thought that you should take a breather after fighting for so many years.

My son, you deserve to enjoy a few days of peace and happiness.

Sure enough, the peaceful years are the grave of the army.

This time when I come to Mumbai, your second division is the closest. So I transferred you, not the second-ranked Marine Corps. But you can tell yourself how you fought!

If you need heavy artillery, you must have heavy artillery. If you need naval gun support, you must have naval gun support. Maxim is assigned to the company level, while Ao Ye’s side only has three in each battalion. Tell me, what should be there, but what does your second division not have?

The Japanese people were on the outside and helped you hold on for nine days. Wu Sangui broke the line of defense only after he suffered a bloody blow to his head. You don't know what equipment the Japanese people have and what equipment Wu Sangui has. Their soldiers eat three meals a day.

After nine days of fighting with rice dumplings, what did your soldiers eat? Rice, white flour, and they thought the rice was not delicious.

The defense line is broken and we need to retreat. I am not conscientious in letting you retreat first, leaving the remnants of the Japanese soldiers who have fought for nine days in front. Look at your old soldiers, they walk slowly, and after boarding the ship, the officers have single cabins. What's going on?

?Afraid of meeting people?

You have the nerve to ask for a single cabin, but why are you so timid during a fight?

In the end, only a few thousand Japanese people came back. It was only after they fought to the death that you retreated calmly. What's wrong with asking you to salute? What a life-saving grace! So many weird words for asking you to salute?

Look at others, then look at you. Those Japanese soldiers with missing arms and legs, those Japanese soldiers with swollen bodies, those Japanese soldiers with faces burned like ghosts, they are like this for you. Your eyes are blind.

, or are you blind?

Now you tell me, there is hard work without credit. Now you tell me, I just deal with you Yuan Chonghuan. Don't punish those blind bastards...!" Li Xiao became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he was like a leopard trapped in a cage.

.

What started out as talk turned into a rant.

Yuan Chonghuan's head hung low, his eyes dripping down his chin onto the deck, condensing into a puddle.

"Sure enough, you are a loving mother with many failures. She protected you wholeheartedly, but in the end she ended up like this. Second Division, I am so disappointed. You can go back, and Second Division will gather up and return home.

Since soldiers can't fight anymore, then they shouldn't be soldiers at all. The glory of the Ming Dynasty Field Division cannot be tarnished by a group of cysticercids. All officers and soldiers will be demobilized and returned home, and all personnel will be abolished." Li Xiao sighed and expressed his decision.

Yuan Chonghuan trembled all over, almost unsteady on his knees and collapsed on the deck.

The Second Division of the Liao Army was a tough team with the Eight Banners soldiers. Heishan and Dahu Mountain fought to the death and killed four Eight Banners Belles in the first battle. In the defense battle of Jinzhou City, the Eight Banners soldiers were killed everywhere, and Huang Taiji's personal command was still unable to do so.

shake.

Such a heroic unit, such a team with outstanding military achievements, is about to be disbanded?

"Big...! Marshal!" Yuan Chonghuan's chest felt tight and he was almost speechless.

"Commander! There is nothing to say about the Second Division's failure in this battle, but the foundation of our Second Division is still there. Please give the Second Division another chance and give this meritorious unit a chance. The officers and soldiers of the Second Division can fight.

, the officers and soldiers of the Second Division still have an iron-blooded spirit.

Please!" Yuan Chonghuan fell to his knees.

"Can you fight? Go and see the Japanese soldiers. That's what we call an army that can fight. I think it's better to recruit tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers to reorganize the second division. If you don't shit in the manhole, just make room for those who can fight.

Place." These words were a bit heartbreaking, and Li Xiao was extremely angry before he said them.

"Commander! You said that, and I, Yuan Chonghuan, am speechless. The defeated generals dare not speak bravely. Since the commander must do this, I, Yuan Chonghuan, can only live up to my brothers in the second division if I die." After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he took out his hand.

The gun was pointed at his temple.

Li Xiu, who was standing by the table, flew up and kicked Yuan Chonghuan in the arm.

"Bang!" The bullet hit the mantlet of the main gun, causing little sparks.

"Commander Yuan, what are you doing? My eldest brother also said something out of anger. The Second Division is the main division. How can it be disbanded at the drop of a hat? It is even less possible for Japanese soldiers to join our Ming Dynasty's main division." Li Xiu kicked him.

Kick the pistol away.

Yuan Chonghuan suddenly wanted to commit suicide, which shocked Li Xiao.

With so many meritorious deeds, the Second Division would not be completely disbanded after being defeated in one battle. What Li Xiao said just now was indeed an angry statement.

But now that the words have been spoken, I can't take them back even if I want to.

Yuan Chonghuan has expressed his will to die, and Li Xiao can't bear to force him to death. After all, he is an old man who has followed Li Xiao to conquer the world since Liaodong. He has followed Li Xiao for so many years, and he has great power and authority. But he has never

Having had two hearts, this kind of loyalty is extremely rare.

"Brother! The Second Division has slacked off a bit in recent years, but after all, the foundation is still that of our Liao Army. They are all old brothers who followed you and fought all the way from Liaodong. I am the first to not believe it when you say they can't fight. Please

Brother, give them another chance!" Li Xiu helped the second division to plead for mercy.

"Okay! Lao Yuan, since you said you can fight, then I will see if your second division can fight. Now on Ceylon Island, we have only taken the city of Kulumbo. Huzi led the troops and was fighting with the Indian soldiers.

Confrontation.

Since you can fight, I will give you a chance to wipe out all the resistance forces of the Indian army on the island of Ceylon until there is no Indian soldier on the island. The deadline is fifteen days! If you can't do it by then, the designation of the Second Division...

It’s gone!” Li Xiu’s plea just gave Li Xiao a step forward.
Chapter completed!
