Five days later, in Shidao Zhao Mansion, Zhao Haiming and Zhao Lie's two children were crawling and making trouble, and they did not have the appearance of the former three-grade commanders, and they were no different from the grandfathers of ordinary people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhao Haiming did not return to his hometown, his wife and children, especially his two grandchildren, were in Shidao, and he went back to his hometown to do anything.

After coming to Shidao, Lao Zhao couldn't stay idle, and he was itchy to see the Galen ship, and often went to sea with the sea boat, which made it very tricky for the captains of the sailors.

One is not good, falling from a place a few feet high, do you want to lose your head, and now a few captains of the Galen ship who are on standby in Shidao have a headache when they see Old Zhao.

Zhao Haiming just returned home two hours ago, and after bathing and changing, he immediately came to see his grandchildren, and he didn't need to hold a shelf in front of his grandchildren, just to play with the children, and the children were also close to him.

When Zhao Lie came in from outside, he saw his grandchild Xiao Zhao grabbing Zhao Haiming's beard and pulling, Zhao Haiming was not annoyed and still smiled.

"How about a few days when my father is out." Zhao Lie said with a smile, he also agreed with Lao Zhao's idleness, he was only fifty years old, and of course he couldn't sit still at home.

"Yes, this time I walked with Wei Qing, I was at the helm, fishing, it's really good." Speaking of this, Zhao Haiming's face folded with a smile.

"I'm afraid my father doesn't know that Master Weihai returned from defeat in Korea." Zhao Lie asked.

"Really." Zhao Haiming looked at Zhao Lie.

"Indeed, Jeju sent me a battle report, damaged and destroyed more than a dozen sea ships, Li Hong led the rest of the fleet to escape from the battle regardless of the Korean sailors, and has returned to Weihai for many days."

"So much damage." Zhao Haiming looked at Zhao Lie dissatisfied, "You don't know if your subordinates are merciful, whether it is Weihai people." ”

"Dad, how to keep your hands on this battle formation, Li Hu didn't send a ship to chase after him, so his subordinates showed mercy." Zhao Lie couldn't cry or laugh, this complaint was really unreasonable. How can this be kept, will they be able to get to Jeju safely?

"Li Hong, this bastard, he eats the king in vain, and he can escape from the battle, and he has lost the face of Weihai Marine." Zhao Haiming was furious.

"The problem is that he, Li Hong, is currently the acting Weihai Seamaster, and his father is still in office." Zhao Lie nodded at Li Hong's official position.

Zhao Haiming narrowed his eyes and thought silently, yes, now he is still a commander. Although this battle was not commanded by him, but with the use of people with intentions, it was also a big blow to him Zhao Haiming.

Actually, it's not a big deal to leave the Weihai division in the backwater, but. This reputation of defeat could not be tolerated, after all, he was the nominal commander of the battle.

"Hmph. He is unkind, and he blames me for being unjust. Zhao Haiming made up his mind that he couldn't wait for the punishment of the imperial court.

Zhao Lie smiled, "Li Hong escaped from the battle this time, this is a big deal, my family can make good use of it." ”

"Hmm. This idiot has long seen that he is not a material who can go into battle. Zhao Haiming said disdainfully, "After all, Weihai is a place where he has been in charge of his father's position for many years, and his father has his own opinions." ”

Zhao Lie smiled and said nothing, it was enough to point to the end. He believed that his father had his own disposal, and he had been in the sea for many years, and he couldn't deal with these things, how could he get to the position of commander.

It was already hot at noon in Tiandengzhou in April, and Sun Yuan was dressed in cyan silk casual clothes and sat in the back house of the government office to rest.

He had been meditating there for a long time with a tea bowl in hand, and a maid behind him was gently shaking a fan to cool him down.

In fact, Sun Yuanhua's heart is not calm, since he took office, the Dongjiang River has been in turmoil, there is no court law and discipline, whoever has the big fist has the final say, whether it is Denglai or Liaodong, all the military leaders are ignoring.

Now it is Liu Xingzhi who leads the soldiers who fled from Liaodong to claim the king and hegemony on Phi Island, and no one dares to provoke him, and even the officials appointed by the imperial court are beaten and scolded by him wherever they are.

The Denglai army is also extremely unstable, and You Shilu, the head of Denglai, and the generals Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde are not in harmony with each other, and they have their own hearts.

And he still has to be matched, after all, Kong Youde is his descendant, and it is absolutely impossible for a military state to have no descendants, which he figured out in Liaodong.

However, the imperial court's food and salary were repeatedly in arrears, and half of the 800,000 taels of silver had not arrived last year.

In these years, without money and food, no one can work hard to practice, and the camp gate cannot be opened.

That's why the imperial court did not stop, and let the Weihai division go to Korea to fight, but as a result, he was defeated a few days ago.

Li Hong personally came to apologize, saying that the Jeju Ming warships were huge and the artillery was fierce, and he was invincible, and he also fought hard to bring the soldiers back to Denglai, which was really a cry of blood.

Ever since he sat in the position of governor of Denglai, there has been no joy, one trouble after another, one defeat after another, as if there was no end.

Sun Yuanhua had a hunch that when he first came, his ideas were too optimistic, and now it seems that the position of governor of Denglai is really not easy to get along with.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Sun Yuanhua frowned.

"My lord, Zhao Haiming, the commander of the Weihai Sea Division outside the official office, asks to see him." The next man came in to report.

Who, Weihai Master commanded Zhao Haiming, he is not, uh, Sun Yuanhua shook his head, although he agreed to Zhao Haiming's return to his hometown to recuperate, but the imperial court's will has not been given, and Zhao Hai is clearly the commander.

"Let him wait in the official hall while the official changes his clothes." The corners of Sun Yuanhua's mouth twitched in disgust, if he didn't guess wrong, it must be for the defeat of the Weihai Division, hmph, now he is still the nominal commander of the Weihai Division, of course he doesn't want to be implicated in this.

For the promotion of the Ming officialdom, he has seen a lot, and there is no way that this is officialdom.

Zhao Haiming respectfully saluted, and waited for Sun Yuanhua to sit on the case, and then straightened his waist, this is the unique treatment of Daming civil officials, he Zhao Haiming's three-rank military general saw the five-grade governor, you also have to be respectful, Wenzun and Wu.

"Lord Zhao doesn't cultivate his body at home, so what business is there here." Sun Yuanhua stabbed Zhao Haiming, aren't you sick, what are you running around.

"My lord didn't know, my subordinates heard about an important matter, and they had to drag their crippled bodies to report it." Zhao Haiming deliberately paused for crutches.

"Lord Zhao still has the battle of Denglai in his heart, but this official has already reported the defeat of the Weihai Division to the Beijing Division." Don't say more, I already know the court and the cabinet, you can go back and wait.

"My lord, how did Li Hong say about this defeat." Zhao Haiming looked at Sun Yuanhua.

"He said that the Jeju Ming warships were huge, the size of a few lucky ships, and the artillery was so strange that they couldn't get close at all, and the North Korean naval division had very few artillery on the warships, only one or two, and they were defeated by artillery, and after the defeat, they broke through by different routes, and then returned to Denglai." Sun Yuanhua replied with the greatest patience.

He made up his mind that if this Zhao Haiming continued to be uninteresting, he would not be able to reprimand him.

"My lord doesn't know that this battle, just as soon as the battle was fought, Li Hong took the lead in fleeing and abandoned the North Korean sailors, and now the death of the North Korean sailors is unknown." Zhao Haiming said heartbrokenly.

"Uh," Sun Yuanhua's eyes widened, "how do you know?" ”

"My lord, after all, my subordinates have been in charge of the Weihai Division for many years, and they have a very good relationship with the old subordinates, after this defeat, some old subordinates complained to the general, saying, this defeat is a nest, and they will be held accountable afterwards, and they are not angry, so that they will be the masters." Zhao Haiming said hurriedly.

"Is this true?" Sun Yuanhua was sweating profusely at this time, and his heart was racing.

He is extremely afraid, North Korea and the Ming Dynasty are close at hand, and it has always been a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and he has always been obedient to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty is also benevolent to the North Korea, hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders attacked the DPRK, the Ming exhausted the treasury, ten years to drive out the Japanese Kou, the North Koreans are still grateful to Dade, this is also a few emperors are extremely proud, often on the lips of the happy thing.

Now the Ming Dynasty assisted North Korea to recapture Jeju, but the Ming army sailors put the Korean sailors in danger and fled back alone, which can be imagined the resentment of the Korean monarchs and ministers.

The Korean monarch and ministers will definitely send envoys to meet His Majesty in Beijing to denounce the matter and investigate his guilt.

How about the imperial court, if more than ten years ago, it would have symbolically punished the generals, but now it is different, North Korea is extremely important to the Ming Dynasty.

Although Jiannu forced peace with North Korea a few years ago and gave Jiannu some money and food, he did not send troops to assist Jiannu, especially did not let the navy help Jiannu.

If one of them is not handled well this time, and North Korea completely falls to Jiannu, then Jiannu will be like a tiger with wings.

Sun Yuanhua made up for it, if Jiannu had the help of the Korean sailors, the coasts of Gyeonggi Denglai would be able to haunt at any time, and the north of the Ming Dynasty would be full of smoke, and there would be no luck.

Therefore, the imperial court is likely to agree to severely punish the fleeing military general Li Hong in order to appease the Korean monarch and ministers.

So who decided to appoint Li Hong, he Sun Yuanhua, he appointed Li Hong as the acting Denglai water division, then he is likely to be implicated in this matter, take a step back, the cabinet and the Son of Heaven did not punish him, he can't stand the criticism of the government and the opposition alone, at least he can't stand the criticism of an unknown person.

"This matter is absolutely true, Weihai Haishi Zhen Fu Shanggu sued Li Hong, accusing him of escaping from the battle, losing the army and humiliating the country, and having a negative grace." Zhao Haiming arched his hand and said solemnly, "Now Shang Gu and the two bows are outside the official office. ”

Sun Yuanhua closed his eyes in pain, he estimated that ninety percent of this matter was true, and several people came out to file a complaint, it was not Zhao Haiming who could come in a flash, especially if there was a calmer.

If it weren't for the fact that they were afraid of being held accountable in the future and that they would not be able to protect themselves, they would not have been able to do so.

"Call them in." Sun Yuanhua commanded weakly.

He can't help but deal with it, otherwise, if the court investigates it, he will be suspected of perfunctory cover-up, and of course he can't leave this excuse to others.

As for whether anyone is using it, hehe, Governor Denglai is one of the more than a dozen governors of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that he has great authority in the governance office, and there are not too few people who are greedy.

What, what is there to fight for in such a difficult place, what can't be seen is that there are many people, and he Sun Yuanhua himself was the same at the beginning. (To be continued.) )
