Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Great Victory and Return to the Division

He didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, Cao Jing knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, this eagle boat is very likely to have been robbed by the widows who slipped through the net last night. With that, he knelt there motionless, just waiting for Shen Chongming's storm to come.

You don't have to think much about it to know that the people who hijacked the ship and escaped last night were all big fish, you must know that compared to those ordinary Japanese robbers who were annihilated yesterday, the real credit is on these big fish, and now that they have escaped, the credit for exterminating the Japanese robbers this time will be greatly reduced, presumably Lord Shen is extremely angry now.

"My lord, the widows are cunning and abnormal, this matter can't all be blamed on Lord Cao, it's no wonder that the last general couldn't catch them yesterday, which gave them a chance, and please punish the last general!" Contrary to Cao Jing's expectations, Wang Zhen, who originally thought that he would stand aside and wait to see his jokes, was the first to intercede for himself, and he was even more ready to share his guilt.

In addition to being surprised, Cao Jing hurriedly said: "My lord, the loophole lies in the last general's sailor, and all the blame should be borne by the last general, not Lord Wang's business!" ”

Since Wang Zhen had already made up his mind to share part of the blame for him, how could he stop there, and said again: "My lord, everything has a cause and effect, and the main reason for the escape of the leader of the Japanese Bandits this time is still on the last general!" ”

Wang Zhen is a person with clear grievances. Although he and Cao Jing don't look at each other on weekdays, it is also a little estrangement between their own people, so it seems that water and fire are incompatible, but it has not reached the point of life and death at all, and the reason why the leader of the Japanese robbers was able to escape this time, Wang Zhen thought in his heart that it was because he did not arrange the direction of the search yesterday that they let them escape, if they were all captured yesterday, how could they have the opportunity to hijack the ship and escape?

Shen Chongming shook his head, sighed and waved his hand and said, "Get up!" It's the official who underestimated these widows, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

Hearing this, Cao Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Shen Chongming with a stunned face, where did he start with this, Lord Shen's arrangement should be seamless, but his own carelessness allowed the Japanese to take advantage of the situation, if he had strictly ordered his soldiers to guard the ship last night, this matter would not have happened at all.

"Gather all your people, and you must investigate this matter strictly, it is impossible for the ships stationed with more than thirty people to be quietly and easily hijacked by the Japanese at the end of the crossbow, maybe some of your sailors have fornicated with the Japanese to provide them with convenience!" Shen Chongming said what he had guessed in his heart.

You must know that the Wuwei Sect has a huge force, and it is very likely that the army has already been infiltrated by them, so this time the leader of the Japanese Bandits easily escaped, and the greatest possibility was that it was completed with the assistance of Neiying, at this time, none of these people could think that Zheng Shanchuan ambushed such a chess piece as Fuyun Lao Dao, Shen Chongming is a human being, not a god, and of course it is impossible to guess this section at once.

However, everyone's speculation about him was a big nod, if it was really like what Lord Shen said, then it would be completely reasonable for the Japanese to be able to quietly rob an eagle boat and escape for their lives.

"The last general understands, so go back and investigate the matter!" Cao Jing, who was lucky enough to escape, hurriedly hugged his fists and replied, this time he was not charged with a crime, which was really fortunate for him.

Cao Jing hurriedly left, but Shen Chongming, who ordered him to do this, didn't think that he could find out anything, and wanted to find out who was the ghost of Wuwei Sect lurking in the army, but it was not something that could be found in a short period of time.

There is no need to search the mountains, Shen Chongming is too lazy to stay on Daishan Island, where birds don't, pinching his fingers, it has been more than a month since he received the holy decree and left home, and he doesn't know what happened to the two wives and little sisters in the family now, I really want to grow two wings and fly home directly across the mountains and seas.

"Straighten out the soldiers and horses, and return to Zhoushan Island after breakfast!" After giving a command, Shen Chongming got up and walked out, the previous idea of doing something for the fishermen on the island was afraid that it would not be realized, so it was better to go and see them before leaving.

Although the leader of the Japanese invaders ran away, but all the annihilation of the Japanese invaders who had been in trouble for many years in the sea frontier, this was also a rare joy at first sight, the army sailed back to the division with a great victory, and an eagle boat took the first step to avoid Zhoushan Island and went straight to the mainland, and ran all the way to the capital on a fast horse with good news.

After taking a break on Zhoushan Island, the army sailed into the inland river again and headed straight for Hangzhou, Shen Chongming wanted to go home, but there were still a few guards in custody at hand, and they had to be disposed of.

In this way, Shen Chongming suddenly found that there were too many things to do, and what was even more complicated was the promise he made to the generals in various places when he just took office, and he was promoted.

One person was promoted to the next level, and Shen Chongming felt that he was a bit of a braggadocio at that time, and there was no big problem in upgrading the grade, but where should this person who was promoted to an official be arranged?

At this moment, he saw Brother Erdan, who had been staying in Hangzhou to guard the messenger of the cabinet in the capital, and when Brother Erdan heard that Shen Chongming was worried about this matter, he immediately said with some contempt: "My lord, this is still a thing!" There is a way that is a radish and a pit, didn't you catch a few people this time, then their positions can be vacated, pull one and fill one, the pit is slow, and your promise to them has not been fulfilled! ”

Shen Chongming was stunned for a moment, then high-fived and said, "Reasonable!" Looking at Brother Erdan's expression, Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile and asked: "Say, what have you been doing these days, but you really responded to that sentence, don't be impressed for three days!" ”

"That's it!" Brother Erdan smiled proudly, lowered his voice and said: "My lord, don't you know, these days your subordinates are not idle, every day pull the messenger who caught them to learn something, if he teaches him well, he will give him big fish and meat, if he doesn't teach well, that is, bamboo shoots fried meat waiting, in a few days, this guy will learn to be obedient, and he can be said to teach his subordinates!" ”

Speaking of this, Brother Erdan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "My lord, you said that these people in the court don't think about serving the country all day long, and they try their best to think about some crooked ways, just such a low-ranking official in the cabinet, he actually knows so many methods to rectify people, what is the rise and fall!" Fat and thin are mixed, that's a lot! ”

Shen Chongming laughed, and admired Brother Erdan more and more in his heart, not to mention, he could see that this was stronger than anything else, and it seemed that Erdan's progress in these days had been great.

Speaking of the messenger from the capital, I have to talk about his situation in detail, since he fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, the child has been looking forward to Xu Ge Lao in the capital to send someone to save him, but as Shen Chongming led his troops to fight at sea, the doubts above the court disappeared immediately.

He is such an insignificant little person, how can Xu Jie worry about it, he has long forgotten his existence after not seeing him for a few days.

There is no one to rescue, stay in the hands of Jinyiwei for a long time, the messenger's days are very rhythmic, as Brother Erdan said, if he behaves well, let him live a good life for a few days, and if he doesn't perform well, he will clean up, after such a period of time, he has long dared not take out the name of the cabinet to bluff people, and every time he sees Brother Erdan, he has to slap a fart.

"It's okay now, you go back and let him go! Say something nice, the provincial cabinet finds fault! Shen Chongming commanded to Brother Erdan.

"Let him go, but he hasn't learned a lot of things under his subordinates?" Brother Erdan
