The Second Fleet can be said to have been established with the team brought by Liu Xiang, although Yang Feng mixed some officers such as baggage, pacification officers and Sima to take charge of the fleet's military discipline, logistics and other departments, but the main combat force is still the men and horses adapted from pirates brought by Liu Xiang.

This is also the confidence of Liu Yizhou and others, in their opinion, if today's Fujian sailors do not have them, they are at best an empty shell. Just ask a sailor who doesn't even have a battleship and even most of the sailors are a group of rookies, what else can they do, and they have to rely on them if they want to fight with others, which is also their proud capital, but this pride was hit in the face today, Lu Guangbiao actually led three training ships to capture two Dutch battleships.

What does this mean, this means that the First Fleet led by Lu Guangbiao is no longer a nominal fleet, but a fleet with combat capabilities, although this fleet now has only three training ships, but what about in the future? Nowadays, several shipyards have been established in Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou, and these shipyards are working day and night to build warships for the sailors.

Thinking of this, many people with active minds have a bad look in their brains.

"Lord Admiral." Liu Yizhou preemptively said: "We don't know whether this matter is true or not, after all, the Navy Battalion has not sent us the news yet, but the matter is very important, the lower officials think that we can write an official letter to Admiral Lu to ask about the authenticity of the matter, if it is indeed true, it is not too late for us to think about countermeasures." ”

"Want a solution?" When Liu Xiang heard this, his eyes were cold, and two cold rays immediately shot at Liu Yizhou, "Mr. Liu Qian, what countermeasures do you want to think?" Are you thinking about how to deal with Admiral Lu? ”

"No...... It's not ......"

Liu Yizhou sighed in his heart when he heard this, and secretly said that it was bad, he accidentally leaked his mouth, and the word "countermeasures" in this case is not a compliment. When he saw Uncle Qin, who was looking at him with a smile, he was even more panicked, and in a hurry, he stammered, "Lord Deputy Admiral, no...... It's not like that, Xia Guan means to say...... It's to say"

"What is it?" Liu Xiang's voice raised several degrees at once: "What the hell...... Say! ”

Liu Yizhou, who was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, simply turned his heart sideways, bowed to the ground and pleaded guilty: "The official made a mistake, please forgive me!" ”

"Hmph...... Tongue! ”

Liu Xiang snorted coldly, and had the intention of taking this opportunity to rectify it, but then thought about it, if he used this excuse to rectify Liu Yizhou, those officers who were close to Liu Yizhou were probably going to make a fuss, and the current situation had not yet been clarified, and he could not act rashly.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiang stood up and said lightly: "I'll talk about your affairs when the time comes, let's disperse now." ”

After the meeting, Liu Xiang returned to his residence, and the maid with him quickly served the fragrant tea, and before the tea was finished, the soldiers outside came to report, and Uncle Qin asked to see him. Liu Xiang shook his head helplessly, and asked Uncle Qin to be brought in, and soon Uncle Qin, who was wearing a fourth-grade military attache uniform, walked in.

Since returning to the imperial court, Yang Feng appointed Liu Xiang as a guerrilla general from Sanpin, deputy admiral of the Fujian Naval Division, and commander of the Second Fleet, as Liu Xiang's most trusted subordinate, and Uncle Qin was recommended by Liu Xiang as the commander of the Second Fleet.

Stretching out his hand to stop Uncle Qin's salute, Liu Xiang first motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "Uncle Qin, there are no outsiders now, just say what you have to say." ”

Uncle Qin nodded: "My lord, since this is the case, then I will say it directly, if what Li Hu said just now is true, I'm afraid some people will not be able to sit still." ”

"Can't sit still?" Liu Xiang's eyebrows, which were thicker than ordinary women, were slightly curled, and the corners of her mouth drew two beautiful arcs: "It's not that they can't sit still, but they're afraid of losing the little power in their hands, right?" ”

"Yes!" Uncle Qin nodded: "Since we have returned to the imperial court, whether it is small enough to eat and wear, or as large as materials and weapons, Uncle has arranged it properly for us, and even our family members have been arranged very properly, isn't this the good life we all dreamed of living before, but some people are just restless, why bother?" ”

"It's nothing more than selfishness." Liu Xiang said unceremoniously: "Some people used to be used to eating meat and drinking wine, but now after becoming officers and soldiers, although the days are much better, but there are more rules, plus I am afraid that the court will turn over the old accounts against them that day, in the past, we were a monopoly in the Fujian Navy, and the court wanted to rely on us to fight against Zheng Zhilong, so they still had nothing to fear, but once the first fleet was formed, the importance of our second fleet would decline, and they were naturally worried that the court would settle accounts with them after the autumn." ”

Uncle Qin was puzzled and said, "Didn't Jiang Ningbo tell you that he wouldn't settle accounts after the autumn?" ”

Liu Xiang said helplessly: "Jiang Ningbo said it, but some people don't believe it." What I'm worried about now is that some people will take risks, and if they provoke Jiang Ningbo to be angry, it will be too dangerous. ”

Uncle Qin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and Sen Sen said, "My lord, why don't we strike first?" ”

"This ......" Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment, and the snow-white teeth bit her cherry lip and shook her head: "We are no longer Haikou, the army has its own rules in the army, if it is random to mess around, it will not be a big mess in the world!" Besides, we just listened to Li Hu and some rumors about this matter, and the news in the army has not officially arrived, so we must not mess up our positions. Besides, if we do it without permission, wouldn't it give Liu Yizhou an excuse for them to make trouble, I'm afraid that then they will have even more reason to make trouble, and if the Second Fleet is split because of this, I will be too ashamed of my uncle's trust in me. ”

Looking at Liu Xiang's hesitant expression, Uncle Qin couldn't help but sigh lightly, the heroine among women who used to kill and do things decisively is now a little more weak as a girl, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"My lord, there is a messenger from Xiamen outside, saying that there is an urgent official document." The voice of a maid came from outside the door.

"Oh......"

Liu Xiang and Uncle Qin glanced at each other, and both of them saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, when Liu Xiang and Uncle Qin read the official document sent by Lu Guangbiao in the name of Admiral of the Navy, they could no longer hide the shocked look in their eyes. If the incident that Li Hu said was just hearsay, then now this official letter sent by Lu Guangbiao confirms this matter.

Liu Xiang rubbed her smooth forehead and said with some distress: "It seems that there are some things that need to be prepared as soon as possible." ”
