Chapter 181: Merit and Sin
"Lord Totong forgives sins, forgives sins......"
The chief military officer is from the second grade, and the sea cudivostok in Yu Zhong is all set to be the second grade, and the difference between them is only one level, and they are not subordinate to each other, so even if Gao Wenyi is wrong, he doesn't need to ask Yu Zhong for guilt. But who told his subordinates to beat Yu Zhong? Although it did not sink the flagship of the Vladivostok sailor division as the legend goes, it still sank one and "wounded" one after all. Therefore, he had to bring Huang Xiangxin to make amends. In line with the idea of "reaching out and not hitting smiling people", he and Huang Xiangxin also brought a generous gift to Yu Zhong.
"Haha, the chief soldier is polite!" In the main cabin of "Triton", Yu ** greeted the guests with a smile, and invited Gao and Huang to sit down, and then said: "I didn't expect that when Yu first arrived, the two adults arrived. What an honor! ”
"Where and where ......" Yu Zhong's words made Gao Wenyi and Huang Xiangxin blush a little, but they had already gotten the news that Yu Zhong had just won a battle and was a hero; And now they are in a disadvantageous position, so naturally they don't dare to follow Yu Zhong. Therefore, Gao Wenyi hugged his fist towards Yu Zhong and said, "Gao is incompetent, and his rule is not strict." There are people under his command who can't even tell the difference between friend and foe, and they even fire cannons without authorization, which is simply damned. Gao will definitely punish these people severely, and please don't blame Lord Dutong! ”
"Haha, since the chief soldier has said so, where does Yu dare to put his beak again? It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Yu Zhong said with a smile.
"Lord Totong is really the prime minister's belly! Gao is grateful! This ......" Gao Wenyi stood up from his seat, approached Yu Zhong, took out a few silver tickets from his cuffs, handed them to Yu Zhong, and said: "This is a little bit of Gao and Vice General Huang, and please accept it with a smile." ”
"Alas! What do you mean, Lord Commander? Am I a money-grubber? Yu Zhong feigned displeasure and refused.
"Lord Dutong is naturally not a greedy person, it's just that Gao's soldiers fired artillery indiscriminately, causing injuries to the warships under your command, Lord Dutong, and he should make some compensation. This little meaning is really hard to resist in case, and please don't be too little, don't shirk! Gao Wenyi was playing with Yu Zhong while "pleading" and "pleading".
"Since you have said so, Master Gao, then Yu Mou is welcome! Thank you, thank you! Yu Zhong smiled and took the silver ticket and put it in his sleeve.
"Hehe, Lord Yu is willing to accept Gao and Vice General Huang's 'owe', why use the word 'thanks'?" Gao Wenyi and Huang Xiangxin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yu Zhong accepted the silver ticket and stopped mentioning this "shelling incident", they could suppress everything and no longer have to worry about this matter.
"By the way, speaking of this, Yu Mou still has a reluctant request, and I hope that Lord Gao and Vice General Huang can agree!" Yu Zhong said suddenly.
"Lord Yu, where are these words, you can say something if you have something!" Gao Wenyi said.
"Haha, Lord Gao is so bold, Yu is relieved. This one...... Yu wanted to ask Lord Gao to hand over the three soldiers who fired the cannon to me, but I don't know if Lord Gao is willing to release them? Yu Zhong asked.
"Lord Yu, do you want to deal with those three guys personally? It doesn't matter, just a word! Gao Wenyi said.
"That's good, that's good...... Ha ha! Yu Zhong laughed.
"This Yu Zhong's vindictiveness is quite strong! After a few shots, you have to deal with it personally, and it seems that those little soldiers don't know how to suffer in the future! Gao Wenyi and Huang Xiangxin looked at each other and thought secretly.
"By the way, Yu has one more thing I want to ask the two adults!" After Yu Zhong laughed, he said to Gao and Huang who just wanted to find an excuse to leave.
"Lord Yu, please speak!"
"The management of this Dagukou Fort is not very strict. Although there are fire yao and cannonballs stored on the fort, however, there is only a fire yao that can put three shells on a fort, and the rest are all damp and deteriorated, and most of the cannonballs are also red rust. Yu Zhong's smile seemed to bring a chill.
"Lord Yu, what are you...... What does that mean? Huang Xiangxin asked cautiously.
"I entered the harbor without being informed, so those three soldiers who fired their guns are meritorious! As for the two adults, ......" Yu Zhong paused, sighed, and continued: "It's better to write a letter and ask for guilt." ”
"Lord Yu, you want to impeach us in a book?" Gao Wenyi jumped. This is too fast, and it seems to have reached the point of shamelessness...... He just received the money!
"Don't dare! Regarding this matter, Yu will not say anything more. However, just now, the emperor's imperial guard Zhang Yuxiang and Lord Zhang have already gotten up and gone back, two adults, if your excuse is too late, I'm afraid it will ......" Yu Zhong didn't need to say any more, Gao Wenyi had already brushed his sleeves away, and Huang Xiangxin also ran out in despair.
"My lord, why do you have to offend those two people to your face?" As soon as Gao Huang and the others left, Murcha walked out from behind the cabin. He is a "Fucha" clan, and his relationship with Yu Zhong is relatively close.
"Offended? Even if I don't say it to my face, they won't hate me? Since Zhang Yuxiang can be released by the emperor as a messenger, he is naturally a first-class confidant, and the matter here will definitely be reported to the emperor without missing anything! At that time, the two of them will still not be able to get rid of their sins, and they will still hate me! Yu Zhong replied.
"Then why did you take their money, my lord? When the time comes, they will beat you up and say that you have taken bribes, wouldn't it be bad? Murcha asked.
"Hmph, these two guys, dereliction of duty, actually treat national defense matters as child's play, it's just damned! The money was used to buy cannonballs to train the three soldiers, and to atone for their sins. Besides, I don't know if I have money, the emperor will not know? Say I'm taking bribes? I'm afraid they're going to be guilty! Yu Zhong sneered.

"It's a good one, it's really extraordinary!"
Without a call, Yu Zhong could not enter Beijing as a border general, but his retribution was to follow Zhang Yuxiang into Beijing. Tianjin was very close to Beijing, and it took less than a day to ride the fast horse of the post station, and naturally, Kangxi soon learned that he had fought a "great victory".
"It's unexpected!" Ma Qi stroked his forehead and celebrated, and then pulled Zhang Yuxiang and asked, "How did you meet that Cai Yin?" ”
"Back to Ma Xiang, on that day, it was not long after the Vladivostok Navy warship passed through the Tsushima Strait south of Korea. The lowly post was seasick and unwell, so Lord Yu let the lowly post go to the deck to breathe. As a result, he met the lookout and used a clairvoyant mirror to discover Taiwan's rebellious fleet. As soon as he heard the rumor say that there were 'sun and moon charms' on those ships, he remembered what he had heard earlier, and immediately told the lord. Therefore, Lord Yu immediately issued an order under the banner, and the whole army was dispatched in less than a moment, and they acted separately. Zhang Yuxiang replied.
"Less than a moment? It's pretty fast! By the way, how was the battle going? Could it be that the Vladivostok Water Division really didn't lose a single soldier? Gao Shiqi asked again.
"Back to the high phase, the artillery equipped by the Vladivostok Naval Division has an extremely long range, and its number far exceeds that of the enemy, which is a great advantage. It is true that there is not a single person lost. However, due to the first engagement, and the bullying of the weak, the generals of the navy division were a little too big, and 14 of the 30 enemy ships were sunk in less than half an hour, and another one was sunk in Tianjin, so only 15 ships were captured today. And most of the hulls were wounded. ”
"Hmph, Tianjin! …… Tianjin is the maritime gateway of Beijing, and I am so sorry that I handed over such a heavy task to Gao Wenyi, but I didn't expect him to be so derelict in his duties, it's just damned! Kangxi said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yu once said that although he was hit by three shells, he had nothing to say. Because he did not report it before entering Hong Kong, nor did he obtain permission, if such a practice is placed between countries, it is tantamount to violating the territory of another country without reason and declaring war on that country, so he deserves to be beaten. It's just that the three artillery pieces were not ordered by the chief soldier Gao Wenyi or the adjutant general Huang Xiangxin, but were actually done by the three soldiers in a hurry, which is really chilling. Moreover, the three soldiers had to forcibly smash open the stone chamber where the shells and fire were stored on the fort to take out ammunition to resist because they couldn't find anyone to report it everywhere, which showed that Gao Huang and the others didn't care enough about the guards of ammunition. Moreover, the fire in the entire stone chamber was only enough to fire three cannons, and the shells were seriously rusted, which was simply regarded as child's play on national defense. In this regard, Lord Yu said......"
"What did he say?" Kangxi asked.
"Lord Yu said that if the Vladivostok Water Division was an enemy army, and he ordered a counterattack at that time, in an instant, Dagukou would turn into a piece of powder without resistance. Moreover, if the fleet came at night, the consequences would be even more dire. …… However, in the vicinity of my Great Qing Dynasty, there is no shortage of people who have this ability! Zhang Yuxiang said in a low voice.
"There is no shortage of countries? What does he mean by that? Tong Guowei asked.
"Back to Tong Xiang, Lord Yu said that the European countries, only the merchant fleets around my Great Qing Dynasty, combined together, are enough to form several sea cucumber sailors! Not to mention the fact that they also have many specialized warships stationed all over Luzon! They are all capable of ocean wars. ”
"Smack!"
Kangxi slapped the royal case violently and stood up "suddenly".
