Yue Yang came out step by step, although he glanced at the soldiers standing guard at the door as he walked out of the living room, signaling them to look at this, but he doubted that if the three lionesses went berserk, the soldiers at the door would have the courage to stop them.

Now he just hoped that when he returned in the afternoon, he would not see Belinda and Erin being thrown into the well.

"No, these three daughters-in-law are still very gentle." Today's Yue Yang can only comfort himself like this.

With apprehension, Yue Yang came to a conference room in the front yard, and when he entered the conference room, he had already seen seven or eight sailors and army generals including Chen Zhenhui, Guo Jingxian, and Shunbao Thief sitting inside waiting for him.

"Whoa......

The moment Yue Yang stepped into the conference room, the generals inside stood up and saluted Yue Yang.

"Alright, sit down."

Yue Yang walked to the first seat and waved his hand, and then sat down. He first glanced around at everyone with a blazing gaze and said loudly: "Everyone, you all know about Chen Tongju and Lin Qianzong, and there is no need to say more about the details of the matter, but what Ben Hou wants to say is that these Spaniards are so bold and reckless that they even dare to attack our warships, which shows how rampant they are, because Ben Hou has ordered General Guo to transfer all the warships of the Weihai Wei Naval Division, except for the necessary patrol boats, to the senior officers." Didn't that Antonio want to fight us? Okay, let's follow his wish and fight him fiercely, this time we will not only destroy all his warships, but also knock down Keelung and Tamsui, and control the entire army in our hands. ”

Everyone heard his firm determination from Yue Yang's tone, and everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "We will obey the orders of the Hou Ye!" ”

Seeing that everyone answered in unison, Yue Yang nodded with satisfaction, but when he saw the expression of one of them, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he asked a little puzzled: "Dingsheng, Ben Hou seems to have a different opinion, you might as well say it." ”

"This ......" Chen Zhenhui hesitated, stood up, bowed to Yue Yang, and said, "Master Hou." The subordinate officer didn't know much about the battle, and he shouldn't have said much, and he knew that the Hou Ye was very angry because of the matter of the three women, but the art of war is cloudy: the lord can't be angry and raise a division, and he can't attack in anger. The red-haired ghost certainly offended the dignity of the Hou Ye, and even made the three ladies almost die, but even if they want to fight, they must be prepared before they can act, otherwise if the war is unfavorable, it may be detrimental to the great cause of the Hou Ye! ”

After Chen Zhenhui's words were finished, the entire conference room was silent, and everyone, including Shunbao, looked at him with wide eyes. This guy's courage is too great. dared to refute Hou Ye's decision in front of Hou Ye.

With the passage of time and Yue Yang's status becoming more and more prominent, the people who had just refuted him in person had almost disappeared, so when Chen Zhenhui raised his question, everyone present was stunned.

Yue Yang was also stunned, but he quickly reflected that he was not angry because of Chen Zhenhui's opposition, but showed a smile and said to Chen Zhenhui: "Dingsheng, I know that you have worked hard, but the art of war is dead, but people are alive." You are afraid that Ben Hou will act irrationally in anger and lead the army to be damaged. I agree with this. However, Ben Hou thought that the strategy of the two armies was only secondary, and the most important thing was the strength of both sides.

The Spaniards had less than 2,000 troops in Keelung and Tamsui, and only 20 warships. We have gathered more than 40 ships of the Weihai Weishui Division this time, with a total of 5,000 soldiers, plus the artillery battalion, this strength can completely crush the Spaniards there. The ancients often said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but Ben Hou thought that it was a manifestation of his infallibility. If you have the strength to take revenge, why wait ten years. If we have a vengeance, we will take revenge immediately! ”

"Haha......"

Hearing Yue Yang's funny words, all the generals laughed.

"And Ben Hou thinks that the rotten Confucians of our Han people sometimes misinterpret the meaning of the sage for some shady reason. Confucius originally said: How can you repay virtue with virtue? But when it came to the mouths of some rotten people, the back half was cut off. It's really sighing. The reason why Ben Hou immediately sent troops to Keelung Tamsui was to sue those Yi people, we Han people just have revenge and will not stay overnight, and revenge will be avenged. This feud is small to say that Ben Hou's daughter-in-law was bullied by the red-haired ghost, Ben Hou, as their husband, wants to seek justice for them, and to put it mildly, Ben Hou wants to seek justice for all the Ming people who were bullied by them, so this battle is settled! ”

"Good ......"

As soon as Yue Yang's words were finished, the generals shouted loudly, Yue Yang's words were really too much for their appetite, but all those who led troops to fight were bloody people in their hearts, and people ran to the door to slap their faces, if such a thing could still be endured, it would not be a master, it was because everyone cheered after hearing Yue Yang's manly answer.

Chen Zhenhui smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Although the lower officials do not agree with what the Hou Ye said, the lower officials are also absolutely obedient to the orders of the Hou Ye, please give the lower officials a few days, and the lower officials will definitely share the worries and solve the problems for the Hou Ye here, so that you have no worries." ”

"Good!" Yue Yang nodded with satisfaction, among the many civil officials under his command, Chen Zhenhui may not be the most outstanding, but he is the most able to comprehend his intention to share his worries for him, and this ability is worthy of his second glance.

"Okay, that's it, in half a month, I'm going to see the Weimen Weihai Weishui Division gather here, and now let's discuss the battle plan for sending troops......

While Yue Yang was discussing how to retaliate, two damaged and strict ships slowly came to the port of Sheliao Island in Keelung, and when the two ships docked on the dock, a well-dressed sailor stepped down from the wharf, many of these sailors looked depressed, their bodies were scarred, and some of them couldn't help but cry bitterly after stepping on the pier.

The news of the return of the two warships soon reached the ears of the Spanish Governor Antony, and as he galloped to the dock, he saw Lieutenant Colonel Caleb and Captain Taylor walking up to the pier, and Captain Taylor's left hand was missing.

"What the hell is going on?" Caleb stepped onto the dock and immediately heard Antony's almost roaring voice.

"Lieutenant Caleb, I gave you three warships a week ago, but now you have only brought back two, and where is the Seabird? Also What is this? God, what are those two rags behind you, the little wooden boats left behind by my grandfather are stronger than these two! Antony roared as he pointed to the two tattered warships on the shore.

"Your Excellency the Governor...... I ......" Caleb lowered his head, and for the first time he felt his words so pale.

"What am I, didn't you promise me before you set out that you would bring me a large sum of gold, a great deal of effort, and a lot of goods? What now? You only brought wounded soldiers and death, and even the "Seabird" was lost by you, is this your guarantee? Antony's voice continued to resound on the docks.

"Your Excellency the Governor!" Just as Antony was about to continue cursing, Captain Taylor, who was standing aside, stepped forward and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this issue, Your Excellency, don't you want to know what we have encountered at sea?" ”

"I don't need to ask!" Anthony turned his head and glared at Taylor viciously: "Of course I know that you have encountered the enemy at sea, and there is a chance that you have encountered the Ming fleet several times your size, otherwise you would not have fled back like this." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, you are right in the front, but you are wrong in the back." Taylor sighed lightly and reported the events of the naval battle in 1510.

"What...... Are you saying that the effective range of the guns on the warships of the country can reach 800 meters? Do you know that if you lie, I can shoot you on the spot! Antony stared at Captain Taylor in shock, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I can swear to God that what I have just said is true, and if you don't believe it, you can ask any of the sailors on board. Besides......" Speaking of this, Captain Taylor laughed miserably and pointed to his left arm: "Do you think it is necessary for a cripple who has lost his left hand to lie to you?" ”

Antony's face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly felt as if he had thought something too simple, and instead of being a native who wore leaves and could only dance around a stone or campfire, he was facing an ancient and vast country with thousands of years of civilization. Was it really right to order Lieutenant Caleb to lead the fleet to attack their transport routes? What if the other party retaliates? As soon as he thought of this, his heart began to mess up.

Just when Antony was a little at a loss, Taylor looked at him and said softly: "Your Excellency the Governor, we have all underestimated our opponents, the other side is much more advanced than us in terms of warships and artillery, if you still want to continue to rule the Great Commander, I will do your best to ask for reinforcements from the country, the sooner the better, if you want to keep this place, you need to add at least thirty warships." And even with that number, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to achieve my goal. ”

Antony did not glance at Lieutenant Colonel Caleb as the two spoke, for he had already sentenced this guy to death, and the man who lost the battle was not worthy of sympathy.

After speaking, Antony looked at the few dozen or so warships in the port and was a little speechless, the warships in the port are now only thirteen, there are two Spanish galleons, and the others are Galen ships that are used for cargo and war, this kind of strength is enough to dominate in front of the earth pig, but it is far from enough to rely on these warships to resist the upcoming revenge of the Weihai Weishui Division.

"Alas...... It seems that we can only hope that domestic reinforcements will arrive soon! Someone could only say this with emotion. (To be continued......)
