The little devil sneaked into Guangzhou for the first time. quietly kidnapped Li Xiaotong and wanted to take the opportunity to extort Li Zhen's weapons, but Li Zhen cut down the grass and eradicated it, leaving no one behind. This time, the little devil used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, ostensibly sending troops to attack Turi Island, but let another group of Japanese samurai attack Guangzhou, intending to plunder in Guangzhou.

This has been done twice in a row, and Li Zhen's heart is already full of murderous intent.

However, with Li Zhen's current strength, it is impossible for him to take the soldiers to the island, because Li Zhen has not yet let go of the energy to do things. The only way is to strengthen the defense and prevent the little devils from coming to Guangzhou to cause trouble. As soon as he thought of this, Li Zhen felt a deep helplessness in his heart.

The little devil takes the initiative to attack every time, but he can only be beaten passively.

Li Zhen sighed in his heart, looked at Liu Taiping, and said solemnly: "Sir, the Admiral's Mansion has encountered a crisis, and the people in the city have come to the rescue, which proves that our Admiral's Mansion has appeal. However, the common people fought with the Japanese samurai in flesh and blood, and there must be injured people, and we cannot ignore it, so please take care of this matter.

Li Zhen said with emotion: "As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and the people support us, so we must put everything of the people in front." When the gentleman sends people to look for the wounded, if he finds out that the people have died, he should give them sufficient bereavement, and comfort the families of the injured, so as not to chill the hearts of the people.

Liu Taiping nodded and said, "The old man can save it, don't worry." ”

Liu Taiping personally experienced this incident, and saw hundreds of people helping the Admiral's Mansion, and he was extremely grateful in his heart, and made up his mind to appease the people.

It is not only a business matter, but also a private matter of conscience.

Li Zhen continued: "Sir is responsible for the problems of the people, and brother-in-law, you are responsible for counting the casualties of the soldiers. The most important thing is to find out the roster of the soldiers defending the city, record all the soldiers on the roster, and find the families of the soldiers, and give the soldiers' families a pension. ”

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaoyang nodded in response, with a serious expression.

Wang Xiaoyang also personally participated in the defense of the Admiral's Mansion this time, and knew the tragic situation of the soldiers guarding the city gate. If it weren't for the desperate delay of the soldiers defending the city in front, the Admiral's Mansion would not have been able to wait for the people to gather to block it, and it would not have been able to hold on to the appearance of Long Xi, so the aftermath of these soldiers must be dealt with.

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Except for the affairs of the people and soldiers, there is nothing else, you go back and rest, and I will deal with the rest." ”

The two nodded, got up and took their leave.

In the study, Li Zhen sat quietly alone, thinking about the soldiers. He already had an idea in his mind, and now he needed to refine it. Time passed, and I don't know when Li Zhen had fallen asleep on the desk, and the oil lamp in the study was also extinguished, and only a faint breathing sound was left quietly.

Early the next morning, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the study.

Li Zhen was awakened and got up to open the door.

Ye Chengxin stood at the door of the study and said, "My lord, Lord Guiliang, Dafujin and the great eunuch Han Laiyu have arrived at the mansion and are waiting for you in the hall. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "I'll wash up first and let them wait." Ye Cheng went to spread the news, and Li Zhen hurriedly asked people to prepare washing utensils. After he finished washing, he sent someone to fetch Zhilan from the backyard.

Zhilan stood beside Li Zhen and asked, "Husband, is there something wrong?" ”

Li Zhen said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, and we will go to greet them. ”

The two entered the hall together, and the corners of Zhilan's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and her expression was bright. Moreover, her hair has been coiled up, which is a proof that she has become Li Zhen's wife. Li Zhen looked at the three of them respectfully, and saluted: "Father-in-law, father-in-law Han, mother-in-law, you came early in the morning, is there anything wrong?" ”

Gui Liang said: "The old man and Gonggong Han have discussed and returned to Beijing today. ”

"Ahh

Zhilan exclaimed in surprise and interjected, "Amma, why do you have to go back so soon?" ”

Li Zhen also frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Han Laiyu said: "Admiral Li, it's the end of September, close to October, and it's very late to return to Beijing. My original plan was to marry Miss Zhilan as soon as I arrived in Guangzhou. Because of the flood, it was delayed in Guangzhou for a while, and the emperor must have been worried about the time being full, and it was time to go back to Beijing. ”

Seeing Han Laiyu's determined look, Li Zhen knew that this eunuch would not change his mind, so he nodded and said, "I'll give my father-in-law and Han's father-in-law a ride." ”

Gui Liang smiled: "The carriage is already outside the mansion, and it is enough to send it out of the mansion." ”

Zhilan knew that she couldn't change it, so she took Dafujin's hand and whispered something.

Li Zhen and Zhilan sent Gui Liang and Han Laiyu out of the house, and stood at the gate and waved goodbye. The groom shouted, and the horse walked forward, the wheels turning and turning, and slowly departed. Li Zhen sent the three away, sent Zhilan back to the backyard, and calmed her before returning to the study, asking Ye Cheng to summon Liu Taiping and Wang Xiaoyang.

After the two came in, Li Zhen waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, I thought about it for a night and decided to kill all the captured pirates. ”

Liu Taiping frowned and said, "Doing this, will it cause Ye Mingchen's resistance." ”

Liu Taiping thought about more things, because Ye Mingchen was also in Guangzhou.

When the Japanese invaded Guangzhou last night, Ye Mingchen obviously had an army, but he chose to ignore it and did not send troops to rescue the Admiral's Mansion, obviously intending to sit back and watch the Admiral's Mansion be destroyed.

Wang Xiaoyang didn't have the slightest good impression of the Japanese Invaders, and said coldly: "Mr. Liu, if Long Xi hadn't suddenly come out to rescue last night, the Admiral's Mansion would have been occupied by the Wolves. The Japanese will not understand that you are already an old man in his early forties, you better not be a bad person, this time let the Japanese go, next time they will kill them. ”

After a pause, Wang Xiaoyang continued: "Think about the people who were killed by the Japanese in the past, did they die in vain? Did the soldiers stationed at the gates of the city also die in vain? What can Ye Mingchen do in Guangzhou? Even if the adult ordered to kill all the widows, Ye Mingchen didn't dare to speak, and I support the adult's decision. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "I also think that we should kill all the Japanese invaders, since my brother-in-law has this plan, my brother-in-law will go to the prison to bring the Japanese to the barracks, and all the Japanese will be beheaded." The corpses of the Japanese were burned and slightly treated with lime to pay tribute to the dead soldiers defending the city. ”

Wang Xiaoyang got up and left, his face showing a happy look.

Immediately, Li Zhen looked at Liu Taiping and said, "Sir, I am going to bury the soldiers who died in the city in the city." They don't have tombstones, but I intend to erect a monument to heroes in the middle of the city with the names of all the dead soldiers. I erected a monument to the heroes in the city for future generations to remember, and also to give a little comfort to the dead soldiers. ”

Liu Taiping said: "This is a good idea, which not only appeases the soldiers, but also justifies the soldiers' names." ”

ps: the second shift; I'm still at my cousin's house, so I'll have two chapters today, forgive me.
