"Big boss, something happened!"

A Bai Zongxing, who was wearing a six-grade official uniform, hurriedly ran into the big tent of the Fujian Navy Division's Second Fleet stationed in Fuzhou, and shouted to Liu Xiang, who was discussing with the officers.

Uncle Qin, who was standing under Liu Xiang, turned his head and glared at the Qianzong, and scolded: "Li Hu, you are now an official of the imperial court, why don't you have any rules at all, what should you be guilty of breaking into the big tent without notification?" Besides, now that we are no longer Haikou Kou, we are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, why do you still call the adults the masters, if people hear it, wouldn't it be a joke that we will not change our arrogance? ”

Seeing Uncle Qin scolding, and then seeing Liu Xiang's stern expression, Li Hu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and the other officers standing in the big tent also looked at Li Hu, who was a little at a loss. Some of them showed a smile or even a gloating look on their faces, they were people who didn't deal with him on weekdays, and some were officers who showed helplessness or secretly looked at Liu Xiang, which were officers who had a good relationship with him on weekdays. There were also some officers who were expressionless, they were the officers who were originally subordinate to the Jiangning Army that Yang Feng was stationed in the Second Fleet, but no matter who they were now, they didn't dare to intercede for him.

Li Hu had no choice but to kneel down, "Unreasonable, trespassing into the big tent without permission, and I hope that the deputy admiral will forgive me." ”

Liu Xiang didn't look at him, but asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mi Yuan?" ”

"The lower official is here!" A military attache wearing a four-rank official uniform stood up, and when they saw this military attache standing up, many people's faces changed slightly.

If there are careful people, you can find that this military attache has a cold face, as if he doesn't care about everything, this military attache is Yang Feng's pacification officer stationed in the Second Fleet, who is in charge of the military discipline of the army, if someone violates military regulations, he is responsible for carrying out the punishment.

When the Second Fleet was first established, because most of its members were pirates, military discipline was lax and chaotic, and there were occasional harassments of the common people and even robbery of the people's property, and those officers who had just turned military attaches from pirate leaders turned a blind eye to this.

Soon, a group of pacification officers began to pay close attention to military discipline in the army, beating and punishing those officers and officers who violated military regulations, and some of them were even executed for serious military discipline, so that the chaotic military discipline of the entire Second Fleet was reversed, and the leader was this pacification officer named Mi Yuan.

Liu Xiang asked: "Li Hu broke into the big tent without being informed, what crime should he be guilty of according to military regulations?" ”

Mi Yuan glanced at Li Hu and said lightly: "According to military regulations, if there is no major emergency military situation, those who trespass into the big tent without notification will be heavily punished with twenty military sticks. ”

"Twenty sticks?"

Hearing this, many people in the big tent were heartbroken, the military sticks in the army are not the same as the spanking of the local yamen, no matter how powerful a man is, if you don't die, you have to shed your skin.

"Now Li Hu is going to be miserable!" Many officers in the big tent looked at Li Hu in shock or fear.

Hearing that he was going to be beaten with twenty military sticks, Li Hu's face turned green, his own family knew his own affairs, he had never practiced any invulnerability skills, and if he was beaten with twenty military sticks, he would have to lie in bed for at least three months if he didn't die, didn't he want his own life? Frightened, his complexion changed greatly, and he no longer had the bullish spirit of Liu Xiang, who dared to question in public, and involuntarily surrendered his gaze to Liu Yizhou, who was standing at the bottom left of Liu Xiang, revealing a look for help.

"Good!" Liu Xiang nodded, "In that case...... Someone's coming......"

"In!"

As Liu Xiang's voice fell, two burly officers and soldiers of the Navy Division wearing iron armor stood up.

"Drag Li Hu down ......"

"Lord Admiral, slow down."

As soon as Liu Xiang's words on the side fell, Liu Yizhou knew that he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, the entire second fleet knew that Li Hu was his confidant, if he didn't intercede for Li Hu at this time, who would die for him in the future, in the words of later generations, if the people's hearts were scattered, the team would be difficult to lead.

"What's the matter with Mr. Liu Qian?"

Seeing Liu Yizhou stand up, Liu Xiang couldn't help but show a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and even Uncle Qin, who was standing on his right hand, sneered in his heart, this time is different from the past, if Liu Yizhou dares to go wild, they really don't mind taking him under the knife.

It turned out that when Liu Xiang was in charge of his own family, he had to figure out everything by himself. Whether it is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, weapons and materials, or even the bereavement of her brothers after the death of the war and the comfort of her family, all of them are pressed on her alone, making her rack her brains for the survival of this team almost all the time.

For the survival of the team, Liu Xiang has to fight with Zheng Zhilong externally, and compromise with Liu Yizhou and others who disobey him internally to prevent the team from splitting, otherwise if there is a big enemy outside, if there are internal disputes among them, the team will not be far from extinction. In another historical time and space, Liu Xiang's team was exterminated by Zheng Zhilong because of internal strife, but Liu Xiang was indeed a ruthless man, and in the battle, Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu was caught and wrapped in a fishing net and thrown into the sea to drown, and then he committed suicide, leaving a tragic legend.

In this historical time and space, due to the emergence of Yang Feng, Liu Xiang embarked on a completely different path. Since taking refuge in Yang Feng, Liu Xiang has felt the benefits of having a backer behind her.

After leading his subordinates to become officers and soldiers, Liu Xiang and the officers and men of the Second Fleet lived a life that they could never have dreamed of in the past. Whether it is money, food, weapons, shelter or any materials, Liu Xiang does not have to worry about it, the quartermasters of the baggage battalion will naturally send it on time, and the military salaries of all officers and soldiers are delivered to every officer and soldier on time by Sima in the army, and the only thing Liu Xiang has to do is to train the officers and soldiers and lead the troops to fight in wartime.

Under such circumstances, her scruples about Liu Yizhou and other officers who disobey her on weekdays do not exist. With the righteousness and power of the court in hand, if anyone dares to offend her or violate military discipline, Liu Xiang can sacrifice the magic weapon of military discipline to make him obedient, but Liu Yizhou has been acting very honest these days, and Liu Xiang naturally will not deliberately target him with nothing to do, and now seeing that Liu Yizhou finally couldn't help but jump out for him, Liu Xiang naturally wanted to see what his original right-hand man had to say.

"Lord Admiral!" Liu Yizhou stood up and hugged his fist at Liu Xiang and said, "The lower officials think that Li Baizong's trespassing into the big tent without notification is indeed a violation of military regulations, but we should ask the reason, if it is not important to trespass, it is not too late for us to punish him, does the deputy admiral think so?" ”

"Lord Deputy Admiral, what President Liu Qian said is indeed reasonable, you might as well ask President Li Bai the reason first, if there is no reason to trespass, it is not too late for you to punish the crime." Some officers who were good friends with Liu Yizhou and Li Hu on weekdays also stood up to plead.

"Okay, then the official will ask Li Hu, so that in the future, you will be punished if you say that the official does not teach."

Liu Xiang turned his head to Li Hu and said, "Mr. Li Bai, tell me the reason, the official and the robes are all here to listen." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yizhou hurriedly glanced at Li Hu and shouted: "Mr. Li Bai, don't you say it quickly, if there is a reason, Deputy Admiral Liu will naturally exempt you from punishment." ”

Although Li Hu is a little reckless, he is not stupid. Naturally, I know what Liu Yizhou's subtext means, and quickly say the reason, if there is no reason, even if it is now compiled, I have to make up one.

"Lord Deputy Admiral, I do have something important to report, but I was too happy in my heart for a while, and I forgot to report it, please forgive me!"

The corners of Liu Xiang's mouth turned up slightly, "Oh...... What the hell made Mr. Li Bai so excited. ”

Li Hu hurriedly said: "I learned that just the day before yesterday, the Admiral led the three warships of the First Fleet to conduct routine training in the Penghu Islands, and encountered two Dutch warships, and fought a battle with the Dutch, and finally not only won, but also captured the two Dutch warships, this is a great joy, and I want to report this great joy to you and your colleagues, so I rashly broke into the big tent, please forgive me!" ”

"Oh...... Is there such a thing? ”

As soon as Li Hu's words came out, Liu Xiang and all the officers of the Second Fleet in the big tent were shocked.

As the lord of the sea all the year round, they are naturally very aware of the strength of the Dutch, as the maritime hegemon of the world in the seventeenth century, the strength of the Dutch Navy is naturally undoubted, otherwise it will not be named the "sea coachman", it can be said that the reason why Zheng Zhilong can have today's great reputation and strength is inseparable from the support of the Dutch behind it, and now Lu Guangbiao can take a group of rookies to defeat the Dutch with three warships, For them, this is as incredible as the later Chinese national football team defeated Brazil in the World Cup.

"How is this possible?" Liu Yizhou looked at Li Hu and said sharply: "Li Hu, is what you said true?" You must know that this matter is not a child's play, if you dare to lie about the military situation, then the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save you! ”

"Liu Da, how dare I lie about this kind of thing." Li Hu was also anxious, shouted out his former name, and said with an oath: "If I dare to deceive you and your lords, I, Li Hu, am willing to be punished by military discipline!" ”

"That's it, Li Bai must never dare to deceive me in this matter." Liu Xiang on the side stretched out her hand to stop Liu Yizhou from continuing to ask, this kind of lie that could be pierced at the first poke, she expected to lend Li Hu a hundred dares and didn't dare to lie in public, this matter should be true nine times out of ten.

But then again, if this is true, then ......

For a while, many officers of the Second Fleet in the big tent had a cloudy look on their faces......
