Chapter 257: Meet Shen Yourong Again
Thinking of this, the anger in Liu Ruosi's heart was like a fiery red soldering iron encountering cold snow water, which quickly cooled down, and bowed to Guo Zhiyuan with a wry smile: "Lord Guo's clever calculation, there is no last resort, the last general will be admired so much that he throws himself to the ground, from now on, the last general is willing to obey the dispatch of Lord Guo, I only hope that the adult can keep his promise, and don't let the last general and his subordinates have no good end......"
Guo Zhiyuan secretly laughed, this Liu Ruosi was afraid of being cheated by himself, for fear that he would sell him, but he was not ready to cheat Liu Ruosi, he is now the time to use people, if he wants to turn Dongfan (Taiwan) into his base, he still needs talents like Liu Ruosi, as long as Liu Ruosi can really change his past, he will also reuse Liu Ruosi, there is tolerance, and it is impossible for those who have achieved great things to require each of their subordinates to be loyal, as long as they do not touch Guo Zhiyuan's bottom line of principles, Guo Zhiyuan, any kind of person, can be used, so he waved his hand at Liu Ruosi and said with a smile: "It seems that General Liu still can't trust me, but it doesn't matter, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen by the people for a long time, I have always been a person who does not live up to me, I do not live up to people, it is not easy to fully trust a person, General Liu, do it and cherish it!" ......" After speaking, Guo Zhiyuan walked away with his hands behind his back.
Liu Ruosi looked at Guo Zhiyuan's back steadily, Guo Zhiyuan was not burly, but at this moment he felt that this back made him a little unattainable, Liu Ruosi had a hunch that he could still look at this back up close, but in the future, he would only have to look up at this back.
The rebels looted a lot of property, so Liu Ruosi's subordinates almost clashed with the New Army, and later Liu Ruosi's strong bomb pressure did not make a big deal, but this also made Guo Zhiyuan realize that it is not easy for him to reorganize Liu Ruosi's subordinates and the surrendered rebels, this is not more than Guo Zhiyuan when he was in Gutian to collect those bandit prisoners, the number of surrendered rebels is too large, if you add Liu Ruosi's subordinates, the number is several times that of the New Army, Guo Zhiyuan swallows a big fish, and he will definitely "indigestion".
Originally, if Guo Zhiyuan had been given more time, he would still be able to successfully integrate these surrendered rebels, but what he lacked most now was time, once Zhao Bingjian and them gained a firm foothold in Dongfan (Taiwan), it would be difficult for him to exterminate them. And once Xu Xueju and they knew that Guo Zhiyuan had put down the rebellion by himself, they would definitely not be willing to let Guo Zhiyuan monopolize this miraculous feat, and they would inevitably prevent Guo Zhiyuan from entering Dongfan (Taiwan), and Guo Zhiyuan must complete the de facto occupation of Dongfan (Taiwan) before Xu Xueju and them!
So Guo Zhiyuan made a bold decision, he left all the Zixin army behind, let Shen Junrong lead the Zixin army to recover the other seven lost county towns, and clear the remnants of the rebels, while he only led 100 regiments of training village soldiers and Liu Ruosi's 5,000 subordinates to take the five large ships brought by Shen Junrong to Dongfan (Taiwan).
For Guo Zhiyuan's plan, Shen Junrong and they strongly oppose it, Liu Ruosi and his subordinates are not loyal people, in case of rebellion on the way, Guo Zhiyuan will be in danger. However, after Guo Zhiyuan called Shen Junrong to the room alone and had a secret talk, he didn't know what Guo Zhiyuan said to Shen Junrong.
Not to mention Shen Junrong and them, even Liu Ruosi couldn't understand why Guo Zhiyuan arranged it like this, even if Guo Zhiyuan trusted himself, there was no reason to let his cronies not use his own rebels? And with his own people, these ships can't take the remnants of Zhao Bingjian's rebel army that occupies Dongfan? You must know that Guo Zhiyuan was able to take Shuizhai Mountain this time completely because he took advantage of the internal contradictions of the rebels to succeed, and now Zhao Bingjian and others have fled to Dongfan, but they will be twisted into a rope, Guo Zhiyuan will not be so easy to defeat the rest of the rebels who have reoccupied the territory, and at this time, Zhao Bingjian and others must hate themselves and Guo Zhiyuan to the core, so they will not be sent to death to attack Dongfan?
But Guo Zhiyuan seemed to be confident, and took the lead in boarding the ship in a hurry, Liu Ruosi had to command his subordinates to board the ship, and when he made proper arrangements, five big ships sailed out to sea, Liu Ruosi found Guo Zhiyuan who was standing on the bow deck and looking at the sea, looking at Guo Zhiyuan's full of pride and ambition, Liu Ruosi could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and walked over to Guo Zhiyuan and asked: "Lord Guo, you won't really prepare to take our ships to attack Dongfan, right?" If it's just Zhao Bingjian, it may not be a concern, but that Tanaka Taro has been on the sea for a long time, but it is so easy to deal with, plus there are Japanese pirates entrenched in Dongfan, Zhao Bingjian and they went to Dongfan, most of them are the Japanese pirates on the island and Tanaka Taro acquaintance, as soon as they converge, the troops are more than ours, and the naval battle is not better than the land battle, the fight is the strength of the ship and the artillery, only our five ships will never be able to capture the Dongfan! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Liu Ruosi, and said with a slight smile: "General Liu, don't worry, I have my own plans, let's go to Huyu Water Village to find General Shen Yourong first, General Shen Yourong is good at naval warfare, with his help, he will definitely be able to exterminate Zhao Bingjian and other rebels, and complete the battle!" ……”
Liu Ruosi is not stupid, he has already been to Guo Zhiyuan once, so he naturally no longer believes that Guo Zhiyuan is fooling, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Guo, don't deceive the last general anymore, if you are really ordered by the imperial court to quell the rebellion, General Shen Yourong should have appeared in Shuizhai Mountain yesterday, why should Lord Guo be in danger and use that suspicious strategy?" Although the last general has no deep friendship with General Shen Yourong, he also understands his temperament, so Shen Yourong has an arrogant temperament, even the admiral of the Navy cannot be dispatched, if the lord does not have the will of the court, how can he be willing to listen to your dispatch? ……”
No wonder Liu Ruosi is suspicious, Shen Yourong's stinky temper is well-known in Fujian Sailors, and he suffers losses all his life on this temper, even in the face of the temper of his boss, he is still hard, so although he has made many achievements, he has never been promoted, plus he likes to pick on his children at every turn, there are really not many people who can control him.
Guo Zhiyuan is actually not very sure about moving Shen Yourong to send troops, the last time he met with Shen Yourong on Penghu Island for the first time, Shen Yourong's momentum was a little aggressive, if it wasn't for Shen Junrong's sudden appearance, he would have gotten on the bar with Shen Yourong first, but in addition to Shen Yourong, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't think of a better choice, Xu Xueju would not be able to support Guo Zhiyuan to attack Dongfan, and Shen Yourong had experience in recovering Dongfan, Only with his help, Guo Zhiyuan will be able to realize the de facto occupation of Dongfan before Xu Xueju and them react!
