Wang Yilin's original intention was just to snatch the Zheng family's naval division warship in order to increase the strength of his naval division, but this ambush war, which was originally defined as a skirmish, was quickly upgraded to a big war, and it may even evolve into a decisive battle between the two forces.

So far, the two sides have invested more than 300 warships, of which 30% are capital ships.

If it weren't for Zheng Zhiguan's pursuit of Wang Yilin in order to speed up the pursuit of Wang Yilin, the scale would have been even larger.

This scale is not comparable to the current large-scale naval battles of thousands or even thousands of warships in Western Europe.

But for the first time in East Asia, this is already the first time.

Facing Wu Zheng's fierce gaze, Wang Yilin stiffened his neck and back, and looked at Wu Zheng.

Zhang Mingzhen was a little panicked, he was different from Wang Yilin, Zhang Mingzhen knew what strategy was, while Wang Yilin only knew tactics.

The difference between the two is that the former can be handsome, and the latter can only be a general.

Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin are a community of destiny at this time.

Just as Wang Yilin said when he persuaded Zhang Mingzhen, you have me, I have you.

Some of Wang Yilin's water divisions are veterans drawn from Wusong water divisions, which is also what Zhang Mingzhen values the most.

Only those who have led soldiers can understand how veterans exist in an army.

Therefore, Zhang Mingzhen must defend Wang Yilin, because once Wang Yilin is severely punished, this matter is certain, and the entire water division will be implicated.

Zhang Mingzhen quickly blocked in front of Wang Yilin and saluted Wu Zheng: "Lord Lao came in person, but the last general is incompetent...... The last general will be guilty, and I implore the prince to let the last general sweep away the remnants of the enemy, and then talk about the guilt, and the last general will be bound to obey each other, and will not shirk! ”

Zhang Mingzhen is very smart, this is to retreat as advance.

As long as the current threshold is passed, Wu Zheng's anger is gone, and things will be easy to do.

Moreover, after clearing the remnants of the enemy, it is not a matter of sin, but of merit.

Even if the merits and demerits are offset, it is better than judging the sin at this time.

However, Wang Yilin didn't appreciate it, he suddenly pushed Zhang Mingzhen from behind, and he pushed Zhang Mingzhen to a stumbling back.

He took a big step forward and faced Wu Zheng and said: "This matter has nothing to do with General Zhang Bing, I forced him, if you want to punish me, you can kill the fleeing sailor first, and I will be at your disposal." ”

Wu Zheng laughed angrily, "You killed so many people, do you want to die more?" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Wang Yilin, "Don't worry about him, Lord Wang, I'm afraid that he fell into the water before and got into the water in his brain." ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and these words are heard in Wu Zheng's ears with an inexplicable sense of joy.

Rushed by this emotion, Wu Zheng really lowered his anger.

In fact, Wu Zheng had no intention of punishing the two of them, and if he really wanted to punish the crimes, he had already agreed to the suggestions of Zhang Huangyan and others in Hangzhou, and the order was completed.

But Wu Zheng didn't want to punish the two of them, which didn't mean that he wanted to connive at their disobedience outside.

Wu Zheng waved his hand, "Take him down." ”

Originally, this matter was over, and it was a punishment to lock him up for a few days, let Wang Yilin calm and calm, and think about what was wrong.

But Wang Yilin struggled hard, glared at Wu Zheng with blood-red eyes and said, "Wu Zheng, don't forget, I'm not your soldier." ”

These words made Zhang Mingzhen stunned.

Wu Zheng's gaze shrank into a line, looked back at Wang Yilin, and said, "Yes." I don't punish you, you can go. The sea and the sky are open to you. ”

But Wang Yilin was willing to agree, he struggled to break free from Wu Zheng's personal guards, "Wu Zheng, I'm not afraid of death, don't say anything about the sea and the sky, I'm still alive, then I have to avenge the dead brothers...... Of the more than 2,000 people brought out, half of them remained...... Woo. ”

Wang Yilin finally cried, he suddenly knelt down at Wu Zheng, and kowtowed three times in a row.

Wu Zheng couldn't even stop him.

"Wu Zheng, I beg you, even if you don't look at my face, for the sake of my uncle's martyrdom, you can help me once...... Avenge the brethren! ”

Wang Yilin wants revenge.

He knew that he could not take revenge.

Nearly half of his sailors have been killed or wounded, not to mention that the sailors under his command are not all his henchmen, if Wu Zheng does not agree, he is afraid that he will not be able to mobilize a few boats.

He just had to turn to Wu Zheng for help.

Wu Zheng was stunned, looking at Wang Yilin kneeling in front of him, looking at the expectation in his eyes, Wu Zheng was really stunned.

For the above, it is indeed difficult.

The more people you have, the harder it becomes.

People's hearts are complex, and everyone's demands are different.

Can you say yes?

Wu Zheng really had to be embarrassed, Wang Yilin was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, stubborn and arrogant.

Since Wu Zheng was promoted to commander of the Lianghu Guard, he has never seen Wang Yilin kneel for himself.

Now Wang Yilin suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times, afraid that he had really been driven to the point of going crazy.

But the question is, can Wu Zheng be able to?

If he agrees to Wang Yilin, it is tantamount to completely rejecting his established deployment.

Moreover, next, more people will die, leading to an inevitable war with Zheng Chenggong.

Wu Zheng gritted his teeth, turned around, and waved his hand.

The guards rushed up and dragged Wang Yilin out.

Wang Yilin, whose eyes were blood-red, roared: "Wu Zheng, people's hearts are flesh and blood, you can't be so ruthless ......!" ”

The person was dragged out, and Yu Yinfeng was in his ears.

Zhang Mingzhen said softly on the side: "Lord Wang, although this matter is indeed a big mistake between the last general and Uncle Wang. But the Zheng family deceived people too much. ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said coldly: "If it weren't for Wang Yilin's heart thinking about snatching the Zheng family's warship, how could there be so many things?" It is impossible for Zheng Zhiguan to dispatch the main force of the sailor to chase after him. ”

Zhang Mingzhen said: "But the cause of the war is Zheng Zhiguan, although we designed it and sent a merchant fleet to lure it, but what if this time it is not a design, but an ordinary caravan under our General's Mansion?" Lord Wang, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, the Zheng family has already made this move, in fact, whether Uncle Wang robbed their warship or not is not the key! ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a long time and asked, "What sea area is that escaped sailor now?" ”

Wang Yilin said: "The last general sent a team of clippers to follow, and now the approximate location is between Diaoyu Yu and Chiwei Yu. ”

"In this naval battle, will the Wusong Naval Division have any losses?"

"Nope." Zhang Mingzhen didn't think about answering it, "Uncle Wang is brave, he used his own troops to contain the Zheng family's sailors, and our department only lost thirty percent of the ammunition, not the loss of warships and personnel. ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while and asked, "How about the casualties of Wang Yilin's department?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen sighed: "If you count the warships and personnel left behind in the waters of Taishan, I am afraid that more than half of the casualties will be ...... Speaking of which, the last general made a mistake in judgment, otherwise Uncle Wang's department would not have such a big loss, the main battle took place at night, and the people who fell into the water were almost ...... when our department arrived at the battlefield at dawn. ”

"Say no more!" Wu Zheng shouted in distraught, "Bring Zheng Cai here." ”

"Yes."
