"Who is here? This is the Navy Military Council. No one is allowed to enter." A general in his forties said in a very provocative tone without even raising his head.
He Fang didn't say anything, just sneered.
In the middle of the military conference hall was a long wooden table, and then he walked straight to the chair in the middle.
"Hey, boy, let me ask you a question!" The general continued to ask in a fierce tone.
He Fang still ignored him, because he knew very well in his heart that the more you care about a person like this, the more he will treat himself like a green onion, so the most appropriate thing to do is to treat him like a piece of shit, even though it smells a bit stinky,
But it's nothing more than a puff of air. What's the point of comparing yourself to a wisp of air if you're fine?
"Xiao Guizi, take out the things."
"Yes, master."
I saw Xiao Guizi carefully taking out two boxes from the ceremony and placing them on the table. When they were opened, they contained the handsome seal and the tiger talisman.
As soon as these two things came out, the generals present, although still reluctant, stood up and remained silent.
"My name is He Fang. I am the marching commander appointed by His Majesty for this bandit suppression operation. From now on, we will practice and fight together for a long time, so please introduce yourselves first."
So the generals replied one by one:
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. My name is Zhang Hu. He is the commander of the Chinese Navy."
"My name is Liu Gang, and he is the commander of the Zuo Army."
"My subordinate is the navy's money and grain officer, his name is Wang Guo."
"This general is the patrol battalion general, and my name is Li Lang."
Everyone else introduced their names and official positions, but only one person, the one who just deliberately provoked He Fang, remained silent.
"I'm talking about this general, please introduce yourself." He Fang said to this man solemnly.
"I'm sorry, I feel unwell today, so I don't want to say much, especially to a eunuch who is missing something," the man said in a very contemptuous and provocative tone.
"you--!"
Xiao Guizi was a little anxious when she heard this and wanted to step forward to confront him, but He Fang stretched out her arm to stop him.
"Haha, this general has never had a good look since he entered the door, and his words are always thorny. It turns out that it is because he dislikes my father-in-law's identity," He Fang said with a sneer.
"However, although the general dislikes my father-in-law, I still want to thank the generals."
"What do you mean?" asked the general opposite.
"Of course I want to thank the generals for their abilities. Your Majesty has already said that if it weren't for the unscrupulous generals in the army who turned a small bandit into a serious problem, how would I, a little eunuch, have the chance to be the director of the march?"
He Fang's words were so poignant and ironic that the man opposite him immediately became furious and cursed:
"What did you say? How dare you say one more thing to me——!"
As he said this, the man stepped forward with the intention of making a move, but was forcefully grabbed by others.
"Bold—!"
He Fang finally became angry at this time, stretched out his hand, and slapped the table with a hard "snap".
Everyone was immediately shocked by He Fang's move, and the entire military conference hall fell silent for an instant.
"You are so courageous. I don't care if you don't respect my father-in-law. You actually dare to show off here in front of the handsome seal and tiger talisman issued by His Majesty himself. Don't you know that seeing these two things is like His Majesty's presence in person -!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly knelt down and shouted:
"I am aware of my guilt."
Seeing that the situation was finally suppressed, He Fang thought to himself that it seemed that Emperor Yanjun's face was still useful. If these old oilheads didn't come up with something real to scare them, they wouldn't be able to lead the team in the future.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Several people stood up.
"I said, general, now you can introduce who you are to my father-in-law."
It was obvious that although this person was still extremely reluctant, he still said reluctantly:
"My name is Chen Chen, and he is the commander of the Right Army."
He Fang nodded and continued:
"Okay, now that we all know each other, let's get back to business and go straight to the topic. Tell me in detail what you know about this group of pirates."
So, everyone brought the map and told He Fang everything they knew about this group of pirates and their leader "Hai Yanluo", and also shared their experiences of failed battles with them.
The meeting between He Fang and these generals lasted until the afternoon, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch.
Finally, after the meeting, He Fang had a more detailed understanding of the enemy situation of this group of pirates.
First of all, there is the bandit leader called "Hai Yama". No one knows his real name until now. They only know that he should have been a private salt dealer in his early years. Later, he gathered a group of people to become pirates and crossed the border.
He grew bigger and bigger, and finally occupied a small island called Dongling Island. From then on, it became a big problem. It is estimated that he has nearly 10,000 men under his command, and nearly 100 large and small ships.
This group of pirates was very good at guerrilla warfare. They robbed merchant ships and looted coastal villages without warning. By the time the rescue navy arrived, they had already escaped and rarely had any head-on conflicts with the navy.
However, they often besieged lone navy ships, and there were also unusual occasions when they took the initiative to attack navy docks at night several times, causing serious losses.
Many encirclement and suppression campaigns launched by the imperial court failed, and several of them could be said to be disastrous defeats. Even if they attacked their home base, Dongling Island, they could not land on the island because the place was covered in fog all year round and there were many reefs.
, if you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will be killed. Even the old fishermen who have made a living on the sea all year round cannot pass this place. I really don’t know how these pirates got past.
After He Fang understood all this, he couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that this "Hai Yama" was indeed very cunning, and he was by no means an ordinary person in commanding wars. It was a pity that such intelligence was used to harm the people.
, in the place where houses were robbed.
But well, it is said that the devil is as high as the Taoist, so now that you have met me, you have suffered the same fate as your ancestors for eight generations.
After coming out of the military meeting hall, he returned to a room specially prepared for himself in the military camp. Although the interior was simple, it was still clean and elegant.
He Fang put down the salute and simply tidied up. It was almost the time of the unitary hour. It was too late to have lunch and too early to have dinner, so He Fang planned to go to the street to sell some things first, because he would have to go to the street in the evening.
Do some experiments. After all, as a time traveler, he should naturally look like a time traveler, so he planned to make gunpowder first.
