Zheng Zaoru signaled with his eyes, and Li Zhen immediately said: "Uncle Ren, after Mr. Wei passed away, the management of the daily newspaper will be handed over to you. I hope that under your management, the daily newspaper will flourish and let a hundred flowers bloom."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you in my humble position."
Although Li Shanlan looked a little dull, he was by no means a dull person. As soon as he saw Zheng Zaoru walking in, he changed the topic and immediately said: "The daily newspaper office still has some matters to deal with, so I will resign from my humble position."
Li Zhen said yes, and Li Shanlan turned and left.
"Crunch."
The study door closed, Li Zhen looked at Zheng Zaoru and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zheng Zaoru sat down after his luggage and said: "There are two things to report. The first thing is that the army has been assembled. All the soldiers can board the battleship and sail to Taiwan as soon as the prince gives the order; the second thing is that Noda Hiroshi Yoo's group also appeared in Guangzhou City, and they have rented a house and are temporarily living in Guangzhou. The prince has agreed to Noda Yoo's conditions, but Noda and his group are still alive, so it is difficult to deal with it."
Li Zhen's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "What's the disadvantage? I think it's too simple. If they anger me, let them stay in Guangzhou forever. No one can even think about Japan. The focus now is to solve the problem of Taiwan." Question, I don’t care about the rest for now.”
Zheng Zaoru nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Commander Qi mentioned the problem last time. Let's lead the army to fight. Facing the firepower of the American army on Taiwan Island, can we successfully land?"
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm already prepared."
Seeing that Li Zhen looked confident, Zheng Zaoru stopped asking questions.
…
In the third year of Tongzhi, January 28th.
On this day, the wind was gentle and the warm sunshine hung high in the sky, exuding warm heat. On the shore of Guangzhou port, densely packed soldiers were boarding warships in an orderly and fast manner. The new warships were all Dai Yuanhua's Following Li Zhen's ideas, it was manufactured by imitating foreign warships, and its performance is very sophisticated.
Wang Xiaoyang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you must not show off when you go to Taiwan. You must ensure safety. Your sister, younger siblings, and others are all waiting for your return at the palace. I hope you return safely."
Li Zhen said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't take risks."
Wang Xiaoyang curled his lips and didn't really believe Li Zhen's words. He and Li Zhen had been getting along for so many years, and he knew very well that Li Zhen's temper was easy to put himself in danger.
Ye Mingchen also continued: "The safety of the prince is related to the situation of the world. There must be no problems. Now the prince is taking the initiative to lead the army to attack. A small problem may cause a series of problems. Please consider the most dangerous consequences and take care of yourself as much as possible." Your own safety.”
Li Zhen waved his hands and said: "Brother-in-law, Governor Ye, it's almost time for me to get on the boat and leave."
Wang Xiaoyang said: "There is a letter for you."
Li Zhen took the letter and was about to tear it open when he heard Wang Xiaoyang say: "The letter was sent by someone from the princess. Let's read it after we get on the ship."
Li Zhen put away the letter, waved to Wang Xiaoyang, Qi Zhenhai and Ye Mingchen, and turned to board the ship. This time Li Zhen led the army to Taiwan to fight the US military. He did not take Qi Zhenhai with him, but only selected three men from a brigade under Qi Zhenhai. Thousands of soldiers, the remaining soldiers still followed Qi Zhenhai to stay in Guangzhou to guard against emergencies.
One by one, the warships sounded their horns and began to set sail.
In the cabin, Li Zhen arranged things and returned to the bedroom where he lived alone.
Li Zhen took out the envelope and squeezed it. His heart was bulging because it contained a lot of things. He tore open Xinfeng and took out the items inside. It was a simple painting with simple words on it. The characters include sisters Li Zhen, Zhi Lan, Zhou Xiuying, Gu Lina and Alice, plus three children, forming a warm family.
The person who painted this painting was not a calligrapher, but Li Zhen's eldest daughter Li Chongxuan, his second son Li Chongxiao, and his youngest daughter Li Nian. Looking at this painting, Li Zhen's eyes suddenly became moist.
None of this painting can make me cry.
He put away the paintings drawn by the three children, took a deep breath, and then quickly adjusted himself to return to his best condition and began to sort out the next battle.
…
Taiwan, Penghu Islands.
This place is an area captured by the US military and is the basis for the southwest of Taiwan Island. The US military general who led the troops stationed around the Penghu Islands was named Amor. He was a lieutenant colonel in the US military that attacked Taiwan. This person made his debut It hasn't been long. He has only heard of Li Zhen's name and has not really dealt with Li Zhen. When he was studying, he heard of Li Zhen's famous name. Now he has the possibility of fighting Li Zhen. Amor It was also extremely exciting.
Penghu County, Ma Gongcheng.
Mamagong City is also known as Magong. In history, after Zheng Chenggong's victory in driving away the Dutch, he began to build a fortress, and countless people began to gather at this location. In the 23rd year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1684), the Qing government set up inspections in Mamagong City. Later, a small city was built, named Penghu New City. In the 11th year of Guangxu (1885), after the Sino-French War, the government office moved to Ma Palace (today's Magong). Construction of the city began in the 13th year and was completed in the 15th year, with a circumference of more than 789 feet and a height of 1.8 Zhang, there were six gates, but they were destroyed in the Sino-French war.
At this time, Amor's garrison was right here.
County mansion, hall.
Amor summoned all the generals in the army, glanced at all the generals, and said in a deep voice: "I have brought you all here to convey a message. A few days ago, it was confirmed that Li Zhen led the army towards us. Originally, the soldiers sent by Li Zhen failed in the previous few times. This time, we must make it impossible for them to advance even an inch."
"Li Zhen is here in person."
Among the officers, some generals showed horrified expressions. Although these generals were elites of the US military and had never fought against Li Zhen before, they knew Li Zhen's name. In addition, the British and French troops had been defeated by Li Zhen many times. In their hands, the US military officers had a hard time wondering whether Li Zhen was here. When they learned that Li Zhen had arrived, they felt nervous and apprehensive.
Seeing this, Amor said in a deep voice: "It's just a little Li Zhen who can scare you. It's really useless."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned red with anger.
Amor continued: "There is a saying in China that a leopard can be seen in a pipe. The elites under Li Zhen have invaded several times, but have been repelled many times. This time, Li Zhen personally leads the army to attack, and we will also defeat him. Li Zhen It’s not scary. The most terrifying thing is your own heart. If you can’t defeat yourself, you are destined to be a loser.”
After hearing this, the generals fell into deep thought.
Amor's words had a great impact on them.
Amor said earnestly: "Li Zhen is not a god, not a God, he is just an ordinary person. It is not difficult for us to defeat him. Everyone must stick to their posts and must fulfill their responsibilities.
Things were done to perfection, so that Penghu Island became an impregnable area, so that Li Zhen's army stopped here and could no longer advance even half a step."
"yes,."
Everyone stood up and answered in neat and standard American English.
