Chapter 282: To Tianjin
As soon as Carlos's voice fell, Derk got up and said: "Although the opportunity is slim, but the deer is the only chance we have to change our destiny at present, and we must prepare for this in advance, so as not to miss the opportunity in vain."
A lieutenant colonel also got up and said: "There is every reason to believe that if we can grasp this opportunity, whether it is the outcome or the casualties, it will be much stronger than going to Japan, and we may even have to return our warship."
The last sentence of the sentence of being able to return to the battleship was extremely inflammatory, and the officers present immediately began to talk in low voices.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Angel couldn't help glaring at Carlos angrily, his chin raised slightly, and motioned for him to deal with it himself, but Carlos had a very indifferent look, groaned slightly, and got up and said: "You are worthy of being Spanish warriors, I am proud of you, if there is a chance, we firmly support letting go of Yibo, but we should also be responsible for the lives of the 8,000 soldiers stationed on the island, unless we are eighty percent sure, we will never do it, do you have any opinions?" ”
When it came to this, what else could I say, the officers were silent, and seeing that everyone was silent, Carlos continued: "Everyone, we are all in the same boat, I hope that you can go back to appease the junior officers and soldiers, I sincerely hope that everyone can return to Spain alive, and the meeting will be dismissed."
After the officers dispersed in twos and threes, Angel said with a cold face: "If you say this, you will kill everyone." ”
"General rest assured." Carlos said confidently: "This is a group of loose sand, we must let them down completely, they will be obedient, if we can't twist into a rope, we go to Japan, the casualties will be unimaginable." With only a thousand musketeers, and ammunition rated, there is no chance at all, but it is only to temporarily stabilize their mood and make them completely dead. ”
Yuqing Palace.
After a long day of suffering, Prince Yin finally saw the little third son who came in with the fruit bowl again the next morning, compared to yesterday's recklessness, today's little third son is much more cautious, put down the fruit plate, moved the small plate with cherries at the bottom, and bowed out. Although Yin was careless, he didn't let go of the little third son's every move, naturally he understood it, and when there was no one in the room, he picked up the plate of cherries and only ate the fourth, he noticed something unusual, carefully squeezed out a wax pill from the cherry, pinched it open, but it was not Cerroben's handwriting, just four words, the military exercise left the table.
Yin's face flushed with a flush Ceropen actually planned to do it during the military exercise? Where did he get mixed up in the Navy?
Soon, Yin calmed down and analyzed again to confirm the truth of this matter, he thought carefully last night, there is a spider's Qixiu Amber contact, except for Ceropun, there will be no second person to know, with his current situation, Kangxi wants to abolish him and trap him, there is no need to make excuses at all, and Ceropen has no reason to harm him, even if Ceropen has an accident, he will not at all, dare not pull out the relationship with him, the authenticity of this matter is unquestionable.
He doesn't have to worry about the assassination, what he has to do is how to control the possible chaos, and he must remain quiet, just in case the matter fails and arouses Kangxi's suspicion and puts himself in a situation from which he will never recover.
Now that the fourth and thirteenth are outside, Kangxi will go to Tianjin, and he and the eighth and fourteenth will definitely be taken away, and the third, ninth, and tenth may not be able to do anything about the military performance, and the old fourteen will be inseparable, not to mention that the eighth and fourteenth will definitely be around Kangxi, if Kangxi is killed, the two of them are estimated to be dead and injured, then the situation is that the dragons have no leader, and the situation in Tianjin is easy to control. …,
But what about the capital? Which one or how many princes will Kangxi leave in the capital? The third, the ninth, the tenth? And the two most important officials, the Admiral of Jiumen and the Admiral of Fengtai Daying, will they support him? Yin's head was big for a while, so he had to take a step and look at it first.
The 14th elder brother led the navy to a great victory, captured 33 large and small warships of the Spanish fleet, captured more than 9,000 officers and men of the Spanish navy, and scheduled to hold a grand ceremony to present prisoners in Tianjin on 18 April, and also held military exercises.
The huge Western warship has been maliciously scandalized as a cannibal Spanish prisoner of war, and the prisoner sacrifice ceremony and military exercises are full of incomparable attraction, not to mention that so many Western scenery are gathered together? Therefore, as soon as the news spread, it caused a sensation, and qualified and capable gentry, scholars, wealthy businessmen, and low-grade petty officials and officials all rushed to Tianjin in advance. Many dignitaries and nobles, the female dependents of wealthy businessmen also rushed to Tianjin, and many women secretly disguised themselves as men.
The most anxious is that the princes and the children of the idle clan who are not allowed to go out of Beijing without obeying the order are all itching, they have nothing to do all day long, such a lively scene can be said to be rare in a hundred years, if you can't watch, it is really a lifelong regret, and in the future, if you want to brag in the capital, you have no capital, at least a month without face to go out to meet people.
In the past two days, the eunuchs and guards on duty in the Forbidden City couldn't close their smiling mouths, and there were too many princes and princes who came to inquire about the news, and many clansmen and royal families who had been silent for many years frequently came to inquire about the news.
This situation naturally can't be hidden from Kangxi, and he didn't expect that Tianjin's military exercise would cause such madness, even if the Chinese New Year did not have such a lively momentum, this grand occasion will inevitably go down in history, adding a strong touch to his Kangxi prosperous era.
In addition, there are many clan children in the navy, this great victory, there are many clan children meritorious service, after the prisoner sacrifice ceremony and military exercises, but also to announce the establishment of the navy, the establishment of the Beiyang Fleet, the Nanyang Fleet, but also a grand reward, these measures will greatly stimulate the clan children to join the navy, and this sacrifice of prisoners is also an excellent opportunity to show the prestige of the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Kangxi no longer hesitated, and issued an order: "In addition to the ministers left behind, those with official ranks of three grades or above are allowed to go to Tianjin to watch the ceremony, and those with titles above the second rank can bring three people to accompany them, and missionaries from all over Beijing and the West must also go to Tianjin to watch the ceremony." ”
As soon as the edict came out, the entire Sijiu City was in a sensation, and a group of clan disciples were even more excited and carried away, setting off firecrackers to celebrate, many of them had never left the capital, how could they not be excited to go to Tianjin this time.
So many clans and ministers gathered in Tianjin, considering the security issues, Kangxi ordered the pro-military camp, the Xiao cavalry battalion, the forward battalion, the guard battalion, the firearms battalion, and the tiger gun battalion to all be dispatched to follow the driver, but the infantry battalion and the Fengtai battalion were not moved, and there were too many officials, and Tianjin could not receive them, and ordered the military department to allocate 500 cowhide tents for officials to stay.
