Haining looked down at Lushun Bay in front of him and sighed to Li Zhien behind him:

"Alas...... Mr. Bu said that the commander did not want to leave this harbor with his fleet now. When the time comes, no matter which side you go to, it will be far better than staying in this pool of stagnant water. But now there is a dilemma...... The first is that the imperial court has now sent a messenger to look at the commander's wife and children, and the commander is slightly wrong, and my family's lives are difficult to protect! The second is, even if the commander really surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, what future will he have in the future? I think that in addition to getting a reward from Daming, I'm afraid I can only be an apartment! ”

Li Zhien groaned and smiled:

"Commander, this first difficulty, I don't know the details, and I don't dare to give advice to my lord. But...... If I had been replaced, with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in my hands, I probably wouldn't have taken those 100 people seriously. The Qing Dynasty has come to this place, and what courtier will be willing to accompany the Qing Dynasty to be buried for the emperor's order! They are surrounding the official residence of the adults, but they themselves don't want to live? …… Hehe, of course, if the commander feels that he is really unsure, we are willing to help. It is not difficult to send a small team of commandos to take down those hundreds of soldiers and rescue the families of adults. As long as the adults are willing to arrange for their subordinates to cooperate with us on the periphery, we will do it.

"The second difficulty, hehe, let's put it this way, no matter which side the adult is on, he is destined to be a duke. But if an adult goes to Japan to be a public servant, you must be mentally prepared. Adults are the kind of people who don't understand the language, can't read books and newspapers, can't listen to the radio, can't watch movies, can't make friends, have to bring an interpreter everywhere, can't do anything, have no fun in their old age, are depressed for life, and are like house arrest.

"But what if it comes to our Daming? Adults will be a true commoner, free, mentally comfortable, well-informed, and enjoy the great convenience of living among their fellow citizens. Moreover, adults can be a really rich apartment in Daming. Our reward for the adults is 4o US dollars, the title of viscount, and the annuity is 50,000 Ming Yang. This is enough for adults to enjoy the luxurious life of fine clothes and fine food in their lifetime. I don't know how much I promise to adults in Japan...... Hehe, but as you can imagine, I'm afraid it's far less, right? ”

Haining smiled faintly:

"It's not a big difference, otherwise I wouldn't be so hesitant. …… Alas, I could even reveal the numbers. What Japan promised me happened to be 4o US dollars, but there was no knighthood and annuity. However, it is very convenient to go to Japan, just sit here and wait. And defected to the Ming Dynasty, but he had to drive the fleet out and die for life. That's why I hesitated! Alas, how to say it...... I don't dare to open my mouth, as long as Daming can promise to give me 1.5 times this number, which is 6o US dollars......"

He stretched out his arm, made a circle around the warship in the distance, and said:

"Then these warships in the port are all Ming's."

He looked at Li Zhien and smiled silently, and added:

"For only $60,000, less than the cost of half a destroyer, you can get three cruisers, eight destroyers, plus dozens of torpedo boats, patrol boats, minesweepers, and other auxiliary vessels. Hehe, if it's me, don't say spend 6o thousand, I'm willing to spend 6oo thousand. ”

……

Suddenly, inside the glass door of the balcony, a voice came from the office:

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

Haining turned around and saw his adjutant knocking on the glass door, as if he was in a hurry. He nodded to Li Zhien and said:

"Oh, sir, wait a moment."

As he spoke, he pulled open the glass gate of the balcony and entered his large office. The adjutant whispered a few words to him. Haining frowned and said:

"What's going on? Then bring it in. ”

The adjutant greeted outside the door, and two Qing soldiers escorted Xu Xiangde in.

Xu Xiangde's hands were bloody, grinning, and he didn't care. Seeing Haining, he smiled and nodded:

"I've seen adults."

Haining stared at the blood on his hand and frowned:

"Mr. Xu, what's going on?"

Li Zhien also came in, and he was surprised when he looked at Xu Xiangde:

"Brother Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Xiangde reached out and took it out of his pocket. The adjutant shouted:

"Ahh Don't move!! ”

The two Qing soldiers immediately twisted Xu Xiangde's arm and prevented him from digging his pocket.

Xu Xiangde smiled:

"What are you afraid of, my gun has been disarmed by these two brothers. Well, please take out the little cloth bag in my left pocket, brother adjutant. ”

The adjutant stared at him suspiciously, walked over slowly, and slowly reached into his left pocket. I grabbed it, and it felt a little strange, so I took it out.

It's a small cloth bag that wraps several layers. The adjutant took it in his hand and lifted it, and when he reached the second layer, he saw that the cloth bag had turned dark red, and he lifted it to the third layer......

The adjutant froze, his eyes staring straight at what he was holding onto. Slowly, his face turned pale.

He swallowed, his fingers trembling and touching it. The feel told him it was real. 100% fidelity.

With a howl, the adjutant threw his things far away, and then held on to the table and gasped.

……

Haining was startled by the adjutant's movement, he became angry, and shouted:

"What's going on! What is it? ”

The adjutant trembled and said:

"Ear ...... Ear...... Ears ......"

"Ears? What ears! ”

"Ears, !!"

A Qing soldier had already slowly picked up his two ears from the corner of the wall, held them in a cloth bag, and slowly held them in front of Haining with trembling hands.

Haining's eyes were also staring straight at the two ears, and they were about to pop out.

He gasped and waved his hand, and the soldier hurriedly threw his ear into the corner. Haining grabbed the teacup and poured a big mouthful, then raised his head, stared at Xu Xiangde viciously, and then at Li Zhien, and shouted:

"Whose ears are this!!"

Li Zhien's face also turned white, staring at the ears in the corner, and then staring at Xu Xiangde, and he had slowly guessed some clues. But he still stared at Xu Xiangde in disbelief, unable to believe that he could really do it.

Xu Xiangde said with a smile:

"Commander, this is Mr. Ikeda's ear."

Haining grew her mouth, her eyes stared straight at him, and only the sound of "smack" came out of her throat.

Li Zhien also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked Xu Xiangde dryly:

"You...... You killed Shigeru Ikeda? ”

"I didn't kill it," Xu Xiangde picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it, then wiped his mouth and smiled, "I originally wanted to kill, but then my heart softened, so I only cut off two ears." Now the people are still humming in the room. ”

Henin sat down on the chair, dumbfounded.

"Quick...... Go and ......," he said weakly, waving his hand, "go see Mr. Ikeda......"

The adjutant hurriedly ordered the two Qing soldiers to watch here, and ran to the guest house with his legs.

……

Li Zhien's eyes rolled, and he probably figured it out.

He sighed, pointed to Xu Xiangde's nose and scolded:

"Brother Xu! How did you do such a thing! What the hell do you think? You...... How can you tell the Japanese to explain to the Japanese! ”

Ning Hai was still counting on Xu Xiangde to bluff him, but as soon as Li Zhien said this, he immediately understood: ...... These two people just want me to be unable to explain to the Japanese, and they want to cut off my desire to go to Japan!

He lowered his head, gritted his teeth, clutched the teacup tightly, and screamed, smashing the teacup to pieces.

Then he opened the drawer, took out the pistol, pulled the bolt, stood up at Xu Xiangde and Li Zhien, gritted his teeth and said:

"...... You two are too deceitful! ”

Although Li Zhien didn't know in advance, but when it came to this, he couldn't point to Xu Xiangde and say, "He did it, I don't know anything". No matter what Xu Xiangde does, Li Zhien has to recognize it together.

Li Zhien looked at the muzzle, took a deep breath, calmed down his nervousness, and smiled kindly:

"Commander, please calm your anger, but don't pull the trigger...... The ears of the Japanese envoy are gone, and if the commander kills us again now, then ...... Then I am afraid that the lord can only sink the warship by order, and then return to Beijing empty-handed, and bury it with the Qing court. ”

Ning Hai sneered:

"The Japanese envoy's ear was cut off by you, but his mouth is still there! As long as others don't die, he will tell the truth to the Japanese! I could have tied you up and handed you over to the Japanese! ”

Li Zhien smiled and said:

"I'm afraid you're oversimplifying, aren't you? The Japanese government has always been picky, and it is eager to break a penny in half. Now that there is a good opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of dollars, why not take advantage of it? If I were Japanese, I would first take over the Lushun fleet, and then let Shigeru Ikeda change his story and say that his ears were cut off by order of your commander, in order to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty. This way, you don't have to pay adults. In addition, I am afraid that adults will also be the swords of the Japanese. ”

Ning Hai was stunned for a moment, a little weak-hearted, but he still sneered:

"Do you think Shigeru Ikeda is a fool? His own ears were cut out, and he said whatever he was told to say? ”

Li Zhien smiled:

"Don't forget, sir, he's Japanese. If the Japanese plan to serve their country, they can even take their lives, let alone a pair of ears. ”

Xu Xiangde also sneered:

"Adults can also think about it, even if the Japanese didn't bite you, they gave you hundreds of thousands of dollars, so do you think this is the end of the matter? How long can they endure this humiliation when the dignified envoy of the Japanese Empire has had both ears cut off on your territory? With the arrogance of the Japanese soldiers, do you think you can still live in Japan without incident, and your wife will be peaceful? ”

Li Zhien followed again:

"Adults should also know how good those people are...... They can even kill the ministers and ministers of their own country. ”

Ning Hai gasped, just staring at them, unable to say a word.

……

The adjutant pushed the door in and said breathlessly:

"Your Excellency...... Mr. Ikeda ...... It's dead. ”

Ning Hai's pistol slowly drooped down, and he sat down in his chair again in despair.

"Dead?" Xu Xiangde said, "...... Alas, it may have been my last kick that was heavy. However, when a person dies, adults are even more indescribable. ”

Li Zhien looked at Ning Hai and said sincerely:

"Commander, please make plans as soon as possible. As long as the adults can lead the team to return to the Ming Dynasty, not only will they be glorious for life, but they will also be a great contributor to the recovery of China! As long as you make up your mind to do this, Da Ming is willing to do your best to help you! ”

……

At this time, several senior officers outside broke in and said in a panic:

"Your Excellency...... Commander......"

Ning Hai was stunned for a moment, looked up and said:

"Why did they all run in? What's going on? Say them one by one! ”

A colonel's staff officer was horrified and said:

"Your Excellency...... Oh no, my lord, there was a mutiny in the harbor...... The sailors reversed ......"

"What?!"

The other lieutenant colonel also gasped, pointed outside, and said:

"My lord, come and have a look on the balcony!"

Ning Hai kicked away the chair, strode to the big balcony, climbed the railing and looked into the distance, looked at it for a moment and said:

"Where is there a mutiny? There was no movement. …… Well, take my binoculars! ”

A large naval telescope was immediately handed behind him. Haining took a telescope to look at the military port, and his body suddenly froze.

The dock was like a boiling pot, densely packed with sailors, like ants. The sailors were chasing the gendarmes who had beaten a small number of them, as well as the senior officers. Many gendarmes were beaten and lay on the ground, and some officers were thrown into the water.

Haining was furious and muttered:

…… Why not shoot, why not shoot!

But soon, he understood why the gendarmes did not dare to shoot.

The three capital warships have untied their cables and are slowly moving away from the slipway and driving to the surface of the harbor. The warships were also crawling with sailors. The sailors were clamoring and dancing on the warship, shouting something. The main guns of both cruisers were already turned to the side and aimed at the shore. The muzzle of another cruiser was turning. Finally stopped.

Haining's eyes suddenly widened. He saw that several of the main guns of the third cruiser were aimed in the direction of his own headquarters.

His chest heaved and he gasped for air. Suddenly, he threw down his binoculars, turned around and asked:

"What do they want to do? Well? What do they want? ”

The colonel's staff officer said:

"My lord, they said...... They said that the lord had taken money from the Japanese and was going to sell the fleet to the Japanese......"

Another officer also added:

"They said that as long as the Japanese ship did not want people, they would not leave any prisoners, and all the prisoners would be killed. They said that if the adults really wanted to surrender to the Japanese, then ...... Then we have to shell the headquarters and break the net......"

The phone rang suddenly. The adjutant hurriedly ran out to answer the phone. A moment later he ran in again and said in horror:

"My lord, the mutiny has spread to the Old Iron Mountain Fortress and the East Cockscomb Mountain Fortress!"

Li Zhien hurriedly said loudly:

"Your Excellency! These two fortress cannons are looking at the entire military port and the city, and now they are in the hands of those rebels! After a long time, they can do anything! Settle down, my lord, we can't put it off any longer! ”

A room full of Qing army officers stared at Li Zhien, and someone asked:

"My lord, who is this?"

Haining waved his hand and said in a trance:

"It's ...... This is my people...... Sanbao, prepare the car, me and these two gentlemen...... And the senior officers of the whole fleet went to the broadcast studio together...... I'm going to address the whole fleet......"

"Huh!"

Haining turned his head again and said weakly to Li Zhien and Xu Xiangde:

"Please...... Please put on your military uniforms, and then we'll go to the docks...... Please also ask you to speak a few words to the brothers on the dock and give a testimony to someone in our sea......"

"Excuse me, my lord, what do you want the two of us to prove?"

"Prove me...... I decided to lead the fleet to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Zhien and Xu Xiangde smiled at each other and said:

"Gladly."

In the hearts of the two, a big stone finally landed.

In the entire commander's office, a room full of high-ranking officers of the Qing army were stunned.
