"You, Zhuge Xiaosheng, don't even have a girlfriend. What do you know about a woman's heart?" Xiao Chen said, "What's going on between you and Kami Teru Sachiko? How far has it progressed now?"
"What progress have I made with her?" Zhuge Xiaosheng looked confused.
"Why don't you like her?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It's not about whether you like it or not...what do you mean if I'm not the boss?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"What Xiao Chen means is that you are now a grown-up, and it's time to think about your personal issues. You see, Yuntian, Baili, Xiuping, and your fat brother have all found love, but you are alone, so you can't
Are you lonely every boring night?" the fat man said.
"Oh...I'm so busy now, how can I have time to talk about love?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Actually, there is no conflict with this. I look at that Kamteru Sachiko's appearance, which can be considered decent..." the old man said cheerfully.
"I don't have that intention towards her." Zhuge Xiaosheng said, "Besides, she is the princess of Japan, and I can't reach her."
"You can't force things like feelings, let's just let it happen." Xiao Chen said.
"Anyway, I don't like that princess, and she is not worthy of my younger brother at all." The fat man has always been prejudiced against Kamiteru Sachiko, "But if you two get better in the future, then I will treat you as fat brother."
explain."
Let’s continue talking about business.
Xiao Chen's trip to Nanyang this time was only to visit Lingzhou Island in person to cooperate with Ren Haitang's operations, but his purpose was to occupy some islands in Antinisha and use them as Yanyun County's naval base in Nanyang.
Yanyun's navy has been developing too fast recently and needs to expand its space for activities. Yanyun's current strategic focus is tilted to the south, so it is time to pull the navy out.
Of course, it is impossible to dispatch all the troops, but the scale cannot be too small. After discussion, everyone decided to set up a Nanyang mixed fleet composed of 200 large and small ships, with Wu Hanming as the fleet commander. He spent several years in the Myanmar Navy.
, very familiar with the situation in Nanyang.
Qian Yunfei also sent dozens of large cargo ships to join the operation. They were not going to fight, but to build infrastructure. The ships were loaded with thousands of craftsmen, a lot of large infrastructure equipment, and hundreds of heavy artillery.
Once Antinissa is captured, we must immediately start building port terminals and shore-based forts so that we can gain a firm foothold.
Hundreds of warships suddenly gathered, and a large number of equipment personnel were frequently active at the downwind port docks. The commotion was so great that it alarmed Russia and Japan. They sent envoys to inquire about the situation. I would like to ask Governor Xiao Chen if you have assembled such a huge fleet.
Who are you going to do?
The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most nervous. The Haining Bay fleet has even entered the first level of combat readiness. Rumors are spreading in Fengyang City that Yan Yun is about to rebel. They have assembled a large fleet and will soon join forces with Ross to go south to attack Haining Bay.
, take Fengyang City directly!
For a moment, there was a rumbling wind and people were in panic. The wealthy people in the city heard the news and ran away one after another, carrying their belongings and belongings. Under their leadership, the common people also began to flee in all directions with their families. The imperial court issued several Anmin Lists in succession, but they also failed.
The results were minimal. Within half a month, Fengyang, the originally prosperous capital city, became deserted.
Li Wanjiang was furious and sent someone to Yanyun to question Xiao Chen, damn, do you really want to rebel or what?
Xiao Chen was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Yan Yun's side just made a small move and caused a magnitude 10 earthquake in Fengyang City!
Then, Your Majesty, if I say that our Yanyun Navy is just doing routine exercises, I wonder if you will believe it?
The envoy was a doctor from the Ministry of War, named Li Toyota. He had a very bad temper and was even more angry at Xiao Chen's explanation. Don't you need to report the Yanyun naval exercise to the Ministry of War for record? Even if you say hello, that's fine.
, they directly blocked all the sea areas around Shunfeng Port, and even our Dazhou merchant ships were not allowed to enter the port. Isn't this a rebellion?
The problem is that there is no war at all in Beihai now. How can we not be afraid if you make such a big noise? The Emperor ordered me to ask you, are you going to attack Russia, Japan, or me?
Xiao Chen explained that it was not the case. We just wanted to take the navy out to Nanyang for a while and enjoy the sea breeze... After all, the Yanyun Navy has not carried out an ocean-going mission since its establishment, because it has nothing to do with our country.
So there was no report.
I am the emperor's most loyal minister, how could I rebel and attack his old man? Which grandson started this rumor? Isn't this trying to sow discord between me and the emperor, with the intention of harming this governor? Please convey this to Mr. Li.
My word is that the emperor must investigate this matter in detail, find out the culprit and chop off your head to serve as a warning to others, so as to eliminate my hatred!
Li Fengdao said that rumors have been spread everywhere and there is no way to investigate them. If Mr. Xiao really don't want to rebel, then please go back with me to meet the emperor. The rumors will naturally be self-defeating.
Xiao Chen said no, because I have decided to personally lead and direct this training exercise, and I am about to set off. There is no joke in the army. As the governor of Yanyun, I can't keep my words, right? Besides, I don't dare to go now.
Fengyang City meets the emperor because there are bad people in the court!
Mr. Li, you also know what happened last time. He almost killed me if he tried to accuse me of it. Now at this juncture, if I go, will I be able to survive?
He definitely won’t survive!
Fortunately, real gold is not afraid of fire, and justice is in the heart. Time can prove everything. When my fleet goes far away from the ocean and everything calms down, all the rumors will naturally be disproven.
In fact, those people who spread rumors have no brains at all. How could I, a loyal and loyal person like Xiao Chen, who is in a tiny place in Yanyun County, take such a desperate risk and do such a treasonous and absurd thing?
Mr. Li, you are a sensible person and you should be able to understand my difficulties and know my sincerity. After you return, you must also say a few kind words for your brother. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, that my loyalty to him is as solid as stone and has never changed.
Pass!
After this little turmoil is over, I will naturally go to Beijing in person to explain to the emperor that we brothers will have a drink no matter what...
Now Xiao Chen is no longer someone that Li Wanjiang can summon and leave at a moment's notice!
There was nothing Li Toyota could do against him. He sent someone to send back a secret letter overnight, claiming that Governor Xiao Chen's attitude was unprecedentedly arrogant!
It is clear that he is already in a state where he cannot lose his tail. He refuses to go when the emperor calls him. Doesn't this show his disobedience to the emperor?
I see that he is going to rebel!
I am deeply favored by the emperor and am a member of the Ministry of War. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch him do such a treasonous and unethical thing, so I have decided to stay in Yanyun to monitor him. When he brazenly raises an army to rebel, that will be the day when I will be loyal to you and serve my country!
I have to say that Mr. Li is quite courageous.
But he also didn't want to think about it. If Xiao Chen really wanted to rebel, could his secret message be sent back?
The emperor will definitely not know about Li Toyota's loyalty to the emperor and serve the country. He might even think that he has joined forces with Xiao Chen, just like the emperor of Han Dynasty misunderstood Dugulou...
So ideals are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.
