Zheng Zaoru gestured with his eyes. Li Zhen immediately said: "Uncle Ren, after the death of Wei Lao, the management of the daily newspaper will be handed over to you, and I hope that under your management, the daily newspaper will flourish and a hundred flowers will bloom." ”

"Please rest assured, the humble position will not disappoint the prince."

Although Li Shanlan looks a little wooden, she is by no means a dull person. As soon as he saw Zheng Zaoru walk in, he changed his words and immediately said: "The daily newspaper still has some things to deal with, so I will retire first." ”

Li Zhen hummed, and Li Shanlan turned to leave.

"Crunch!"

The door of the study 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, and just wait for the prince to give an order, all the soldiers can board the battleship and go to Taiwan; The second thing is that Yoo Noda and his entourage also appeared in Guangzhou City, and they have rented a residence and lived in Guangzhou temporarily. The prince has already agreed to Yoo Noda's conditions, and Noda and his party are not gone, so it's not easy to deal with it! ”

Li Zhen's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" I think it's too simplistic. If you anger me, let them stay in Guangzhou forever, and no one will want to go to Japan. Now the focus is on resolving the Taiwan issue, and the rest will not be left to rest for the time being. ”

Zheng Zaoru nodded and said, "Lord Wang, Senior Qi mentioned the problem last time. Let's lead our troops to meet the battle, and in the face of the firepower of the American army on the island of Taiwan, will we be able to land smoothly? ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, I'm ready!" ”

Zheng Zao saw that Li Zhen looked confident, so he didn't ask.

……

Tongzhi three years, January 28.

On this day, the wind is gentle and the warm sun hangs high in the sky, exuding warm heat. On the shore of Guangzhou port, dense soldiers are boarding battleships one after another in an orderly and rapid manner. The new warships were all made by Dai Yuanhua in imitation of Li Zhen's ideas and imitation of foreign warships, and their performance was very sophisticated.

Wang Xiaoyang said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, you must not be able to go to Taiwan this time, and you must ensure safety." Your sister, brother and sister are waiting for you to come back in the palace, hoping that you will return safely. ”

Li Zhen said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't take risks." ”

Wang Xiaoyang pouted, not believing Li Zhen's words very much. He has also been with Li Zhen for so many years, and he knows Li Zhen's temper very well, and it is easy to risk himself.

Ye Mingchen also continued: "The safety of the prince is related to the situation in the world, and there must be no problems. At present, the prince takes the initiative to lead the army to attack, and a small problem may cause a series of problems, please take into account the most dangerous consequences and try to take care of his own safety. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, Governor Ye, it's almost time for me to get on the boat, let's go!" ”

Wang Xiaoyang said: "There is a letter for you!" ”

Li Zhen took the letter, and was just about to tear it open, when he heard Wang Xiaoyang say: "The letter was sent by the princess, let's see it after we get on the boat." ”

Li Zhen put away the letter, waved his hand at Wang Xiaoyang, Qi Zhenhai and Ye Mingchen, and turned around to get on the boat. This time, Li Zhen led a large army to Taiwan to meet the US army, did not bring Qi Zhenhai, and only selected a brigade of 3,000 soldiers from Qi Zhenhai's command, and the rest of the soldiers still followed Qi Zhenhai to stay in Guangzhou to guard to prevent emergencies.

One by one, the warships sounded their horns and 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 pinched it, his heart was bulging, and there were a lot of things. Tearing open Xinfeng, Li Zhen took out the items inside, but it was a simple painting. There are simple characters in this painting, including Li Zhen, Zhilan, Zhou Xiuying, Gu Lina and Alice sisters, plus three children, forming a warm family.

The person who painted a picture 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 moistened.

None of this painting is tear-jerking.

He put away the drawings drawn by the three children, took a deep breath, and then quickly adjusted his state to get himself back to his best condition, and began to sort out the next battle.

……

Taiwan, Penghu Islands.

This place is an area occupied by the US military and is a defense in the southwest of the island of Taiwan. The US general who led the troops stationed around the Penghu Islands was named Amor and was a lieutenant colonel in the US forces that attacked Taiwan. This person has not debuted for a long time, he has only heard of Li Zhen's name, and he has not really dealt with Li Zhen. When he was studying, he heard of Li Zhen's famous name. Now that there is the possibility of fighting Li Zhen, Amor is also very excited.

Penghu County, Ma Miyagi!

Ma Gong City, also known as Ma Gong, in history, after Zheng Chenggong's victory in driving lotus, he began to build a city fortress, and countless people began to gather in this location. In the twenty-third year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1684), the Qing government set up an inspection in Magong City, and later built a small city, named Penghu New Town. In the eleventh year of Guangxu (1885), after the Sino-French War, the Department moved to the Ma Palace (now Ma Gong), began to build the city in 13 years, and completed it in 15 years, with more than 789 zhang in Zhou, 1.8 zhang high, and six gates, but it was destroyed in the Sino-French War.

At this time, the place where Amor garrisoned was here.

In the prefectural hall, the hall!

Amor summoned all the generals in the army, his eyes swept over all the generals, and said in a deep voice: "I brought you all here to spread a message. A few days ago, it has been confirmed that Li Zhen led the army towards our position. The first few times, the soldiers sent by Li Zhen all returned with feathers. This time, too, it is necessary to make it impossible for them to move forward. ”

"Li Zhen is here in person?"

Among the officers, some of the generals showed shocked expressions. Although these generals are all elite of the U.S. Army and have never fought against Li Zhen in the past, they know Li Zhen's name, and the British and French armies have been repeatedly defeated in the hands of Li Zhen, so it is difficult for the officers of the U.S. Army to know Li Zhen. When they learned that Li Zhen had arrived, they felt nervous and apprehensive.

Seeing this, Amor said in a deep voice: "A little Li Zhen is just scared of you?" It's really useless. ”

When everyone heard this, they were so angry that their faces turned red and their ears rose.

Amor continued: "There is a saying in China called the leopard in the tube, and the elite under Li Zhen's command has attacked several times, but has been repeatedly repulsed. This time, Li Zhen personally led the army to kill, and he will also be defeated by us. Li Zhen is not terrible, the most terrible thing is your own heart, if you can't even defeat yourself, you are doomed to be a loser. ”

When the generals heard this, they fell into deep thought.

Amor's words touched them very much.

Amor said earnestly: "Li Zhen is not a god, not a god, just an ordinary person. It is not difficult for us to defeat him, everyone is sticking to their posts, we must do our duty, we must do our best work, and we must do things to the fullest, so that Penghu Island will become an impregnable area, so that Li Zhen's army will stop here, and it will not be able to advance half a step further. ”

“yes！！”

Everyone stood up and answered in neat and standard American words.

ps: The third shift, call it a day.
