Zhao Liewen frowned and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, you can't release the soldiers." The soldiers of the army are wild, and once they are released, they must be made wild horses. Especially when the prince first arrived in Japan, he was a tall and mighty image in the minds of the Japanese people. If the soldiers are allowed to run around, they will inevitably run amok. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and evil things go a thousand miles, and when the news of our soldiers doing evil deeds comes out, it will definitely cause the anger of the local people, and the situation facing the prince will be dangerous! ”

Zhao Liewen had an eager expression on his face, very worried that Li Zhen's brain would be hot.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, don't worry, listen to me!" ”

"You say!"

Zhao Liewen sat upright, and added: "If the prince can't restrain the soldiers in the army, I resolutely disagree." Because this is a great cause involving the prince, it must be carefully considered, and the prince must think twice before acting. ”

"Don't worry, my mind is clear." Li Zhen said with a smile.

At the same time, Li Zhen saw Zhao Liewen's fierce reaction in his eyes and was very happy in his heart. Zhao Liewen's ability to speak up and admonish shows that Zhao Liewen is looking at the problem from the perspective of the entire group.

Li Zhen's gaze stayed on Yang Jianhou and said, "Yang boy, don't blame me for not helping you. Lao Yang started a fire, I can't stop it, you are obedient, practice martial arts well, and keep your child. ”

When Yang Jianhou heard this, his face fell.

He looked at Yang Luchan with a look of begging for mercy in his eyes. The corners of Yang Luchan's mouth hooked up a smile, and the smile on his face made Yang Jianhou feel a chill in his heart.

Li Zhen changed his words, returned to the topic, and said in a deep voice: "I adopted Yang Xiaozi's suggestion to let the soldiers in the army go out to vent, not without constraints, but conditionally. ”

Zhao Liewen was still uncomfortable in his heart, and said very politely: "How to restrain it?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Each soldier is given ten taels of silver, which can be used as prostitution. ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Liewen immediately interrupted: "Ridiculous, you are too ridiculous." I reckon you were the first to give prostitutes to soldiers in an open and honest manner. For this reason alone, you are already unique in history and can go down in history. ”

Li Zhen listened to Zhao Liewen's soft and prickly words, and smiled, disapproving.

Zhao Liewen was even more angry, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, have you ever calculated an account?" Ten taels of silver for a soldier, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, means that nearly one million taels of silver will be spent. This is not a small amount of money! ”

Li Zhen said: "It's only one million, let's slowly loot it in Japan, and we can easily take it back." ”

Zhao Liewen rolled his eyes, but he couldn't refute it.

Li Zhen confidently continued: "In fact, not every soldier is willing to go to the brothel of the Qinglou. These ten taels of silver can be said to be prostitution, or it can be said to be compensation for the soldiers in the army. If they want to keep it for themselves, they will keep it. Of course, it can also be used openly, all up to the soldiers themselves. ”

Zhao Liewen was speechless for a moment, the soldiers were unrestrained, and most of them would definitely go to **. In particular, if there is no restraint, it is easy for army soldiers to loot indiscriminately.

Tens of thousands of soldiers went out, and the scene was absolutely shocking.

Li Zhen continued: "Mr. Zhao, I have a plan. Every day that followed, the army gave 1,000 quotas a day, and only those who got the quotas could go to the brothels in Nagasaki to vent. The rest remained on the ship and were not allowed to leave. At the same time, all soldiers are not allowed to run rampant, rob people's daughters, and bully local people, this is an iron law. Once the king gets the news that the people have been bullied, there is no forgiveness for killing. It's okay to be a prostitute, but to be a personable client. ”

Zhao Liewen rolled his eyes, they are all a group of prostitutes, and they still have demeanor?

He knew that he couldn't persuade Li Zhen, so he put his mind on Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, hoping that the two could stop him. At the same time, Zhao Liewen felt that he had another layer of understanding about Li Zhen, Li Zhen was open-minded, but he was not a good bird. The news soon spread to the battleship, and when Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang learned about it, a strange expression appeared on their faces.

The two men looked at each other and looked at each other.

Zeng Guofan said: "Brother Ji Gaoxian, the prince has issued a strange order, what are you going to do?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said solemnly: "For the sake of the soldiers in the army, the prince's starting point is good, but I firmly disagree. A disciplined army would never allow such a thing to be committed, even if the object of the search was a Japanese brothel in Qinglou. Brother Bohan, the prince is a human being, and he will make mistakes, he has made mistakes now, we have to correct them, I hope Brother Bohan can advise me together. ”

Zeng Guofan nodded, his expression becoming serious.

In fact, Zeng Guofan also thought about it carefully, thinking that Li Zhen was indeed dizzy and carried away by victory. Now Zuo Zongtang insisted, and he also said: "I'll accompany Brother Ji Gaoxian." Let's go, let's go see the prince. ”

"Okay, let's go together." Zuo Zongtang said.

The two got off the battleship and soon came to the place where Li Zhen was staying.

In the hall, Li Zhen sat above, and Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan stood solemnly.

Zuo Zongtang's expression was solemn, and he took the lead in speaking: "Lord Wang, I have received your incomparably strange order. In this regard, after discussing with Commander Zeng, we agreed that this order must not be promulgated. ”

"Oh, what a reason!"

Li Zhen's brows furrowed, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Zhen stood from the soldier's point of view, and he also did a lot of restraint and felt that there was not much mistake. After all, in history, the US troops landed in Japan, and such things were not less. In fact, what Li Zhen didn't realize was that he made such a decision for a big reason, that is, he had a kind of dislike for the Japanese in his bones, so he made this decision.

It's just that Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang are different, they have not experienced Japan's invasion of China, and they both think that Japan has nothing too evil, so they resist vigorously.

For the sake of the long-term development of the army, the two will not agree.

Zeng Guofan took a step forward and said loudly: "Lord Wang, let's not talk about the impact of soldiers going to the Qinglou to wander on the body. It's just that after the soldier has the first time, what about the next battle? They'll ask for a second, third, or even more, and the list is not open! Just in case, the best thing to do is to take back the order. ”

When Li Zhen heard this, his expression became serious.

Zeng Guofan's words reminded him.

There are only so many brothels in Nagasaki, and soldiers go there every day, what will be the result? The results speak for themselves, and it is easy to contract sexuality. Especially in the event of a war in the country, soldiers will also want to go to the brothel in the country, resulting in the situation getting out of control. Li Zhen was well-intentioned, but the development of things was not what Li Zhen wanted to see.

A series of consequences made Li Zhen shudder.

Li Zhen's expression became extremely solemn, he got up and saluted Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, and said, "Fortunately, thanks to Brother Ji Gao and Brother Bohan's reminders, I didn't make a big mistake. I hope that Brother Ji Gao and Brother Bohan will be like now in the future, and when I have a mistake, I will immediately raise it and move forward hand in hand with me to create brilliance. ”

Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang nodded slightly when they heard this.

Li Zhenneng corrected it immediately, and this open-mindedness also made the two of them feel very comfortable. At least, the two of them felt that the value of their existence was huge and could help Li Zhen achieve great things.
