Faced with the facts he saw in front of him, the deputy general knew that what the two thousand were saying was true.

As a deputy general in charge of the armament of the whole army, even if he does not bear full responsibility for this matter, he is jointly and severally responsible. Even so, it is impossible for him to continue to stay in the position of deputy general.

Therefore, from the moment he entered the gun compartment, the adjutant general's face turned pale. I no longer have any hope for my military career......

However, the main general, Liu Yun, did not intend to let him go just like that.

As soon as Mr. Qian's words were finished, he ordered to the adjutant general: "What are you still doing...... Immediately drive out a warship that stayed in the barracks and immediately conduct a test launch...... Ben is going to take a good look at what kind of warship the imperial court has built for us at the cost of millions of taels of silver...... If the situation is really as you say, even if the general is not right, he must seek justice for the soldiers who died at sea, and absolutely do not let them die on the sea like this......"

Soon, a new warship with a displacement of 1,500 tons was driven out of the water camp.

After the warship stopped at the mouth of the Yangtze River and aimed all its guns at the sea. Liu Yun, whose face was solemn, directly ordered the standard-bearers beside him: "Give them an order, aim at the sea, and fire immediately...... Ben did not have an order, the shelling could not be stopped......"

When the flag bearer began to wave the flag in his hand, Liu Yun had already raised his monoculars and stared at the warship that was a hundred steps away and parked at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

didn't let Liu Yun wait too long, and the roaring sound of shelling reached Liu Yun's ears.

At the same time, the thick white smoke produced by the simultaneous shelling of more than a dozen red-coated cannons was also the first time. Shroud the warship in it.

For more than a dozen redcoat cannons shelling at the same time, the powerful power that erupted. Liu Yun is still very satisfied.

But. Liu Yun, whose eyes were firmly fixed on the warship, did not show the slightest smile on his face.

He was waiting, waiting for the second round of shelling of the warship, waiting for the warship to fall apart directly in the artillery fire......

Soon, the second and even the third round of artillery fire hit Liu Yun's ears one after another.

Subsequently, the warships that were 100 paces away did not carry out the fourth round of artillery fire.

Of course. Under the shroud of smoke, even if Liu Yun held up a monocular, he didn't know what was going on on the warship.

With the help of the sea breeze, the riddle did not last long to be solved.

When the white smoke that shrouded the warship was blown away, Liu Yun could clearly see the situation of the warship.

A very chaotic picture directly came into Liu Yun's field of vision.

On the deck of the warship, the well-trained sailors and soldiers rushed to the deck in a steady stream as if they had been frightened. Then, one by one, they jumped into the sea. And swam to the dock desperately.

At this time, Mr. Qian, who has been following him. He said with great certainty: "Your Excellency, the warship must have been scattered in the shelling, and the hull began to leak...... Zhou Qianzong's warship was buried in the sea because of a large amount of water leakage in the hull......"

As soon as he finished speaking, an exclamation followed Liu Yun's ears......

"The ship is crooked...... If the ship is crooked, it will capsize on its side......"

Liu Yun, the chief soldier holding the binoculars, clearly saw that the warship 100 paces away was leaning in the opposite direction of the shelling little by little.

Perhaps there were too many leaks in the warship, and in the blink of an eye, this tilt turned into a rollover......

It is conceivable that the officers and men on the warship had not escaped from the gun compartment in advance and jumped into the sea...... At this moment, they were trapped in the cannon bay, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to......

Seeing this, Liu Yun knew that there was no need to continue watching......

After throwing the monocular to the guard behind him, he ordered with a murderous face without thinking about it......

"The general will order that all the remaining warships in the barracks, including those that will be withdrawn in the future, be sealed...... No one can approach these ships without the order of the general......"

"Also, prepare the horse immediately, I was going to go to Nanjing in person to face the saint and seek justice for the soldiers who died in the battle......"

All the way to the horse, Liu Yun took two days and two nights to enter the city of Nanjing.

Then, he didn't care about any tiredness, and came directly to the gate of the palace with red eyes, and asked to go to the palace to face the saint.

At this moment, Chongzhen is presiding over a large court meeting once every few days.

Because of the guarantee of the military department and the household department ten days ago, Chongzhen saw the court again

Wish.

Throughout the court meeting, Chongzhen's face was shrouded in a smile......

When the court meeting was about to end in a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, a eunuch suddenly walked up to Wang Chengen and whispered a few words, and then Wang Chengen walked to Chongzhen's side and whispered something......

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, everyone clearly saw that the smile on Chongzhen's face disappeared in just a blink of an eye. Then he said with a solemn face: "If you are in such a hurry, something must have happened to the water master...... Immediately announce that Liu Aiqing will enter the hall......"

As soon as Liu Yun, who was tired, walked into the main hall, he knelt in the center of the hall and shouted with a sad face......

"Your Majesty, it's really resentful that my sailors and soldiers died on the battlefield, and the emperor must call the shots for them......"

"Your Majesty, you must be the master of the sailors...... The soldiers did not die in the hands of the Haw Par Army in the naval battle, but died at the hands of their own people, which is really resentful......"

A few years ago, Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to either the army or the generals......

However, as the Haw Par Army actually grew stronger and stronger, and he was defeated again and again, Chongzhen finally realized the importance of the army to him.

Therefore, from the beginning of the relocation of the capital to Nanjing, Chongzhen greatly improved the status of military attachés in the imperial court.

Seeing that the general soldier in front of him, who was in charge of almost half of the Ming Dynasty's naval division, shouted so disregarding his identity, a trace of bad premonition quickly surfaced in Chongzhen's heart.

Without thinking about it, he said: "Liu Aiqing, if the sailors have any grievances, just say it, I will definitely give you justice...... In the Ming Dynasty, no matter who is disrespectful to the army, it is disrespectful to me......"

Under Chongzhen's gaze, Liu Yun immediately told the situation......

Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard that the warships and artillery just built by the military department could not be used, and the first thing that came to mind was not the loss of the officers and men of the sailor, but the five million taels of silver that he had invested in the sailor......

Chongzhen, who looked incredulous, subconsciously asked: "Liu Aiqing, those warships and red-clothed cannons really can't be used, and my five million taels of silver are really all lost......

Liu Yun nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the emperor...... Not only did the imperial court invest five million taels of silver in the sailors, but it is still unknown how many of the thousands of sailor elites recruited by the imperial court from various sailors in order to form this sailor division............
