The Second Fleet can be said to be built with the team brought by Liu Xiang. Although Yang Feng mixed some of the officers such as baggage, politicians, and Sima in charge of the fleet's military discipline, logistics and other departments, the main combat force was still the men and horses brought by Liu Xiang, adapted from pirates.

This is also the confidence of Liu Yizhou and others. In their opinion, the current Fujian Navy would be a hollow shell at best if it were not available for them. What can a navy that didn’t even have a warship and even most of the sailors were rookies? If you want to fight with people, you have to rely on them. This is also their capital for pride, but this pride was hit by the head today. Lu Guangbiao actually led three training ships to capture two Dutch warships.

What does this mean? This means that the first fleet led by Lu Guangbiao is no longer a nominal fleet, but a fleet with combat capabilities. Although this fleet only has three training ships now, what about the future? Today, several shipyards have been established in Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou. These shipyards are working day and night to build warships for the navy. Once these warships are built, which will be equipped for whom. That is something that fools understand. Can their second fleet be so free and comfortable?

Thinking of this, many people with active minds have a little bad look.

"Deputy Admiral." Liu Yizhou said first: "We don't know whether this matter is true or false. After all, the Navy Camp has not sent us news yet, but it is of great importance. The subordinates thought we could write a seal document to Admiral Lu to ask about the authenticity of the matter. If it is indeed true, it would not be too late for us to think of a countermeasure."

"I want a countermeasure?" Liu Xiang's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and two cold lights shot towards Liu Yizhou immediately. "Mr. Liu Qian, what countermeasures do you want? Are you thinking about how to deal with Admiral Lu?"

"No...No..."

Liu Yizhou felt a slap in his heart when he heard this, and he said something bad, but he accidentally let it go. In this case, the word "countermeasure" is not a compliment. When he saw Uncle Qin who was looking at him with a smile, he felt even more panicked. In a hurry, he stuttered: "Deputy Admiral, no...is not like this, the subordinate official means...that's saying."

"What is it?" Liu Xiang's voice increased several degrees: "What is it... say!"

Liu Yizhou, who was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, simply turned his heart to the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty is wrong, please forgive me!"

"Hmph...slip!"

Liu Xiang snorted coldly, intending to take this opportunity to rectify him, but then he thought that if he used this excuse to rectify Liu Yizhou's officers who were close to Liu Yizhou, they might have started to make trouble. Moreover, the current situation has not been clarified yet, so he cannot act rashly.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiang stood up and said lightly: "Let's talk about your affairs then, let's break up now."

After the meeting, Liu Xiang returned to his residence. The maid with her quickly presented fragrant tea. Before the cup of fragrant tea was finished, the personal soldiers outside came to report it. Uncle Qin asked for a meeting. Liu Xiang shook his head helplessly and asked someone to bring Uncle Qin in. Soon, Uncle Qin, who was wearing the fourth-rank military officer uniform, walked in.

Since surrendering to the court, Yang Feng appointed Liu Xiang as the third-rank guerrilla general, deputy admiral of the Fujian Navy, and commander of the Second Fleet. As Liu Xiang's most trusted subordinate, Qin Shu was recommended by Liu Xiang as the commander of the Second Fleet.

He reached out to stop Uncle Qin's salute. Liu Xiang signaled him to sit down first, and then said, "Uncle Qin, there are no outsiders now, just say whatever you have."

Uncle Qin nodded: "Sir, since that's the case, I'll just say it. If what Li Hu said just now is true, some people may not be able to sit still."

"Can't sit still?" Liu Xiang's eyebrows, which were thicker than ordinary women, raised slightly, and two beautiful curves were drawn in the corners of his mouth: "It's not that they can't sit still, but they are afraid of losing the little power in their hands, right?"

"Yes!" Uncle Qin nodded: "Since we surrendered to the court, from small food, clothing, supplies, supplies, weapons, we have arranged it for us properly. Even our family members have been arranged very properly. Isn't this the good life we ​​dreamed of in our dreams? But some people are just restless, why bother?"

"It's just that selfishness is at work." Liu Xiang said bluntly: "Some people used to be eating meat and drinking big bowls before. Now, although their lives have been much better after becoming officers and soldiers, they have more rules. In addition, they are afraid that the court will make old accounts of them that day. In the past, the Fujian Navy was the dominant family. The court had to rely on us to fight against Zheng Zhilong, so they were still fearless. However, once the first fleet formed an army, the importance of our second fleet would decrease, and they naturally worried that the court would settle accounts with them in the future."

Uncle Qin said in confusion: "Didn't Jiang Ningbo tell you that you won't settle the score later?"

Liu Xiang said helplessly: "Jiang Ningbo said that, but some people don't believe it. What I am worried about now is that some people will take risks. If Jiang Ningbo gets angry because of their reasons, it would be too dangerous."

Uncle Qin's eyes flashed with murderous intent and said in a deep voice: "Sir, why don't we take action first?"

"This..." Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment, bit her cherry lips and shook her head, "We are no longer pirates now. The army has its own rules. If we do whatever we want, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Besides, we are just listening to Li Hu and some rumors. The news in the army has not yet officially arrived, so we must not lose our own position. Furthermore, if we acted out well, wouldn't we give Liu Yizhou and the others an excuse to make trouble. I'm afraid they will have more reason to make trouble then. If the Second Fleet splits due to this, I'll be too ashamed of my trust in me."

Looking at Liu Xiang's hesitant expression, Uncle Qin couldn't help but sigh. The hero of the female who used to kill and decisively acted has now become a little more of a girl's weakness. I really don't know whether it is a good or a bad thing.

"Sir, there is a messenger from Xiamen outside, saying that there is an emergency document." The maid's voice came from outside the door.

"oh……"

Liu Xiang and Uncle Qin looked at each other, and both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, when Liu Xiang and Uncle Qin read the official documents sent by Lu Guangbiao in the name of the admiral of the Navy, they could no longer hide the shocked expression in their eyes. If the thing Li Hu said was just heard about, then the official documents sent by Lu Guangbiao now confirmed the matter.
