But fortunately, Chen Lan is already in his sixties, and many things have been seen, in this routine life, Chen Lan has seen a lot of strange bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, from the anger at the beginning to the later drifting, he no longer insists on many things.

He read some of Wang Yangming's books and was deeply influenced by Wang Yangming's thoughts, believing that as long as he was upright, even if he used some despicable means to achieve the goal of justice, it was acceptable, as long as he always insisted on the persistence in his heart.

It's just that now Chen Lan is a little unclear whether he is a corrupt old guy in their mouths or the Wang Yangming-style Confucian general he once insisted on.

"Chaojue, it seems to be raining, and the wind is not light, you better hurry up and go into the cabin to take shelter!"

Deng Zilong walked out of the cabin behind Chen Lan and reminded with concern.

Chen Lan turned around, saw his old comrades-in-arms for many years, smiled bitterly, and said: "The old man really hopes that this rain can wake up the old man, and tell the old man what he is fighting for, what he is fighting for all his life, but in the end, he is not as good as a young man in his twenties, and after forty years of fighting, Li Guang is difficult to seal!" ”

Deng Zilong smiled and comforted: "You are thinking nonsense again, although Xiao Ruxun is a commander and an earl, but in the end he is only in his twenties, although you are nominally a subordinate, but Xiao Ruxun was born in the northwest and knows nothing about water warfare, so he still has to rely on you, we old brothers can listen to you, how many years of tacit understanding and experience are in it, not Xiao Ruxun can change it with a word." ”

"Having said that, he is indeed the only military general who has gone out to fight for so many years with the rank of commander, you haven't seen Shi Butang's appearance, it seems to be more wary of the old man, and he has warned the old man several times to obey Xiao Ruxun's command arrangement, saying that he understands the current situation in North Korea best, and he can't mess around, the old man is really not a taste in his heart, the old man was born and died for the Ming Dynasty for forty years, but in the end he was so distrusted......"

It's cold......

Chen Luan's words were not finished, but the meaning was already like this, to be honest, Deng Zilong was also mostly upset with Chen Luan, fighting for 40 years, dozens of battles, how much credit has he made? Just because of a little mistake, it was written off in one fell swoop to put down the rebellion, do you think the imperial court is too partial?

Yes, Xiao Ruxun has killed a lot of trappers and recovered Ningxia, which is a great achievement, but, but aren't we, the frontier veterans who have been fighting for many years, not as good as Xiao Ruxun? Is it not just Li Guang who is difficult to seal in this world? He Chen Lan, I'm Deng Zilong, why not?

"Forget it, what's the point of saying that? Xiao Ruxun is also from a family of military generals, at least he should know the rules, and his military exploits are indeed prominent, Ningxia beheaded tens of thousands, not to mention, it is reported that 100,000 Japanese have been killed and captured in North Korea, Your Majesty is Longyan Dayue, and now Xiao Ruxun has won the heart of the emperor, how can a frontier veteran like you and me be replaced? ”

Deng Zilong is quite open-minded, originally he was still in the land of Yunnan and the Dongwu Kingdom (the translation of the name of the Burmese Donghu Dynasty) at war, just defeated their invasion, was recruited by the imperial court to go north, before he could react, Deng Zilong met his old friend Chen Lan.

Chen Lan needed a competent deputy, so he transferred Deng Zilong to be his deputy commander-in-chief, it can be said that these two people are difficult brothers, they are both people who have recovered after being dismissed, and they are also people who have made great achievements but have never been able to get the treatment they deserve.

The two supported each other and worked together, Chen Lan first brought 5,000 sailors and more than 100 big ships from his hometown in Guangdong, and after arriving in Zhejiang, he sorted out the chaotic command system of the sailors since the Jiajing year, brought out 400 warships, and nearly 10,000 officers and men of the sailors, and the total number of sailors has exceeded the total number of the Japanese sailors and the Korean sailors, and it is worth mentioning that 3,000 of the more than 10,000 sailors were "wolf soldiers" transferred by Chen Lan by his prestige.

As early as the Jiajing period, Zhang Jing, a famous minister of the anti-Japanese army, had at the suggestion of Yu Dayou, and dispatched the Zhuang native soldiers from Tianzhou and other places in Guangxi, called the wolf soldiers, and the soldiers of the Tujia family in Xiangxi were collectively called the wolf soldiers.

The wolf soldiers fought extremely bravely, once in the battle of Wangjiangjing to exterminate nearly 2,000 Japanese invaders, is the main force of the Ming army before the Qijia army to resist the Japanese, Chen Lan led this wolf native soldiers, its composition has been different from the Jiajing period, mixed with Zhuang, Tujia, Miao, Yao and other southwest ethnic minorities, but the combat effectiveness has not decreased at all.

Chen Lan also carried all the latest firearms that could be collected along the coast to the ship, because Chen Lan found out that Xiao Ruxun was a general who was extremely good at using firearms, and if he could use firearms, he might be able to talk to him.

If you want to be careful, Chen Lan is really a little cautious now, unlike in the past, this young man who may be very arrogant on his head still holds the lifeblood of his army's supplies and equipment, and he is evil, even if the Han soldiers under his command do not rebel, the wolf soldiers will definitely be unhappy and then pick their son and leave, and if they do not rebel, they will give you face.

If you want to mobilize them, it is not enough to have an official document from the Ministry of War, people don't like you at all, you must have the prestige to make them obey you and trust you, and the military salary and supplies cannot be short, and they cannot be deceived before they will risk their lives to fight with you, otherwise you don't even think about it.

The most terrible thing is that their trust is very extreme, once they trust, they will risk their lives to do it with you, and once they suspect you, they will not save you in front of them.

The "cunning Han people" made them suffer a lot, and in order to gain their trust, Zhang Jing relied on several major battles to establish his prestige, and Chen Ling relied on decades of conquest to gain respect.

Chen Lan received the order to drive directly to the North Korean Navy Base Lishui Base, where to integrate the water division, arrange tasks, familiarize themselves with the situation, and prepare for battle.

So it's interesting, Xiao Ruxun is worried that Chen Luan will rely on the old and sell the old, Chen Luan is worried that Xiao Ruxun will embarrass him by being young and disrespecting the old, Xiao Ruxun came to the Lishui base early to prepare to personally welcome Chen Luan off the boat, and give a good impression, lest he not contribute to grinding foreign workers, Chen Luan also wanted to rush over as soon as possible to leave a good impression of Xiao Ruxun's strict military discipline and energy, don't be wearing small shoes.

Along the way, Chen Luan also repeatedly mentioned his subordinates who were proud of the soldiers, telling them to restrain a little, Xiao Ruxun is young, but quite fierce, hot-tempered, killing corpses and blood on the battlefield everywhere, there are tens of thousands of heads under his hands, there are traps, rebels and widows, if you are accidentally caught and beheaded, don't blame me for not mentioning you in advance!

Chen Lan is known for his violent temper, he dares to do anything when he starts a fire, and the hot-tempered general can naturally bring out the hot-tempered soldiers and is good at fighting, but the military discipline is also poor, and he usually harasses the people and does not do anything less, Chen Lan is also very protective of his calves, and he has been dismissed repeatedly for reasons in this regard, so this time he was afraid that they would hit Xiao Ruxun's muzzle, so give them a wake-up call first.

As for how much they listened, it was not something that Chen Lan could predict.

Chen Luan hurried and hurried, even spent the New Year on the ship, and finally arrived at the Lishui base on the seventh day of the first lunar month, three days earlier than the latest date of the tenth day of the first lunar month requested by Xiao Ruxun.
