Chapter 147: Qualified General
Tang Ming knew that he was suffering, and the more Chen Jialan cared about him, the closer he got closer, and the more nervous Tang Ming became. If such embarrassment was known to her, the reputation of the pervert would really sit on her head.
Waving his hand to it again and again, Tang Ming quickly stepped back: "I'm fine, I'm fine, there are still things waiting for me to deal with outside, say goodbye!" ”
As soon as he turned around, Tang Ming limped out of the courtyard without even looking back, he didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, he was afraid, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would probably not be able to control himself and do something inferior to a beast.
Tang Ming left the courtyard, secretly slanted back and didn't see Chen Jialan follow, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart for some reason. Children's love should not be too concerned at such a moment.
Early in the morning, Zheng He seemed to have finished fighting the Japanese invaders, Tang Ming abandoned the dirty thoughts in his mind and hurried to the beach. The cheers were getting louder and louder, and I don't know why?
On the small wharf of Weihai Island, there are soldiers standing with happy expressions on their faces, and dense sea boats are docked on the sea near the wharf. When Tang Ming got closer, he saw that most of those sea ships were damaged.
Fei Xin wrapped a white cloth in one hand, and hung on his neck with the other hand, red blood stains could be faintly seen on the bandaged white cloth, and it seemed that the injury was not light. But this guy didn't care about his injuries at all, but was busy arranging the captured pirates.
Looking around left and right, Tang Ming didn't find Zheng He's figure, as the commander of the fleet, he should stay in the fleet to command, it would be normal not to see him.
More than 30 wounded people approached him, and several seriously wounded who were missing arms and legs were carried on stretchers. Tang Ming frowned and leaned in, and found that they had not lost their breath, but the injuries had only been simply bandaged and had not yet been formally treated.
When the soldiers saw Tang Ming, they wanted to put down the wounded and salute, but Tang Ming scolded them and drove them to Chang'an for treatment. No one was dissatisfied with Tang Ming's scolding, they all understood that this was Master Hou who cared about their safety.
As a soldier on the battlefield, they have long taken life and death very lightly, and those who can come back alive on the battlefield are considered lucky. Not to mention being cared for by Hou Ye, this is not a treatment that anyone can enjoy.
Fei Xin, who was not far away, had a full view of Tang Ming's performance just now, and he was very satisfied with Tang Ming. Tang Ming, as a marquis, did not despise any soldier who was born and died for him, so it seems that he is very qualified as a marquis.
"Brother Fei, is the injury serious?" Tang Ming came to Fei Xin's side, his gaze resting on his two injured arms.
Fei Xin cracked his mouth and smiled: "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, this little injury to my subordinates is not a big deal." ”
In order to prove that he did not lie to Tang Ming, Fei Xin's two arms also moved up and down.
Seeing this, Tang Ming was also relieved, and pointed to the Japanese who walked in front of him and asked, "When did these Japanese invaders come to attack, and what are the losses of our soldiers?" ”
At the mention of this, Fei Xin seemed to be very angry, and said hatefully: "These damn Japanese robbers came to attack when it was just dawn, and the soldiers took turns to be on duty all night last night when they were sleepy, and the three escort warships were successfully attacked and nearly 300 brothers were injured. The Governor arrived in time, and the brothers also killed the enemy bravely, so that no bigger accident was caused. ”
Looking at Fei Xin's arm, Tang Ming knew that things were definitely not as light as he said. As the commander of the fleet, he will never easily put himself in danger when he is not in a desperate situation.
Judging from the injuries on his body, this guy must have personally gone to the front line to fight, as a qualified general, if the front line is in an emergency, he should go into battle, instead of hiding behind his back and letting his subordinates die.
Fei Xin finally won the war with the help of Zheng He, but the casualties of more than 300 soldiers were like a thorn in his heart, so that he could not let go. If he had been vigilant enough, there would never have been such a large casualty.
Fei Xin's self-blame Tang Ming knew that he also understood Fei Xin's feelings at this time, and the casualties of more than 300 soldiers also made Tang Ming sad. Fortunately, only a dozen died, more than thirty were seriously injured, and the rest were only slightly injured, and they could still continue to go to the battlefield after recuperation.
Tang Ming only had more than 1,000 soldiers, plus more than 300 guards transferred from Weihaiwei, and a total of more than 1,300 people could go to the battlefield. These people are Tang Ming's old bottom, if there is one less, there will be no one, and it is impossible to increase the number of soldiers in his current situation.
After comforting Fei Xin, Tang Ming continued to inspect the situation after the war, and the Japanese had more than 100 boats, but most of them were only fishing boats, which were incomparable with Zheng He's warships. Their only chance of winning is to rely on their mobility and numbers to win.
Zheng He's quiet arrival was tantamount to giving them a slap in the face, once they were surrounded, they had no chance of winning, and defeat became an inevitable fact.
Tang Ming had unconsciously left the range of the small pier, and there was a river in front of him
At the mouth of the sea, more than two dozen treasure ships are docked in the deep sea on the coast. A large number of cattle and horses were transported from here.
It turned out that Zheng He did not go anywhere else, but supervised the shipment of cattle and horses here. This time he came to support Tang Ming, this is the primary task given to him by Zhu Di, he doesn't dare to be sloppy at all, these horses are Zhu Di's preparation for the expedition to Tatar, and he Zheng He can't afford this responsibility if there is any mistake.
Seeing Tang Ming's arrival from a distance, Zheng He's face was filled with a smile, he had already counted the number of horses. It is much more than the number given by the emperor, and it is natural that the task can be completed easily.
Tang Ming naturally saw him too, he was injured and couldn't walk fast, so he limped over slowly. When he was far away, he shouted, "Is the father-in-law still satisfied with these horses?" ”
Tang Ming had already seen the smile on Zheng He's face, and knew that Zheng He was very satisfied with the horses, so he deliberately shouted out as if he was asking for credit, just to wait for the boat to be used as a foreshadowing.
This departure from Weihai Island is a big move, according to his current number of ships, it is far from meeting the loading requirements, the more ships the better, especially the steel keel treasure ship that Zheng He drove this time, this is something he absolutely wants to have.
"As soon as you kid comes, you will invite merit, if you need the help of your father-in-law, just say it directly, don't come with me to these vains." Zheng He's heart was as clear as a mirror, Tang Ming was asking for himself.
Tang Ming didn't care at all that his careful thoughts were seen through by Zheng He, and he replied with a smile: "The righteous father is really a god, the kid really wants to ask your old man for help, this time when he left Weihai Island, there were more sundries, and it took a few big treasure ships to be loaded, so the kid dared to borrow a few treasure ships from his righteous father for a use."
