Peter did not completely dispel his doubts, but Xiao Chen's explanation seemed reasonable.
The main reason is that Peter believes that Da Zhou currently does not have the strength to start a war with Ross, and does not believe that Li Wanjiang or Xiao Chen have the courage.
Despite this, he decided to enter a first-level alert state and mobilized all the cavalry troops to the western front, ready to go to war with Zhou Dynasty at any time.
Before Li Wanjiang gave him a formal reply, the port was temporarily blocked, and all roads between Shunfeng Port and Changshan City were also blocked. No one was allowed to come or go without his governor's order.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, please understand, I have to do this." When he met Xiao Chen today, he also formally announced this decision to him.
"I understand, but I think Peter you are making too much of a fuss. Things are not what you think... Well, as soon as General Qin Gang arrives, the two of us will come over to talk to you in person. If there are any misunderstandings, we will make it clear in person. ..." Xiao Chen could only say this.
The war was about to start. It was useless to say anything. I just felt a little sorry for Governor Peter. After all, the two were still friends.
Therefore, the gift given to them as a couple was particularly generous, and they even took the initiative to stay and attend a dinner party. They drank a lot of wine, made a lot of jokes, and complained a little bit, and finally got drunk.
Everything is so normal.
The next day, they bid farewell to Peter and returned to Changshan Prefecture. Needless to say, the brothers had a lively meeting when they met.
Liu Congshu also wanted to hold a banquet for welcoming the wind, but Xiao Chen said to stop it. The shabby vodka he drank at Shunfeng Port last night might have been fake wine, and now he still has a headache!
Get the dumplings on the bus and get the noodles on the bus. It’s serious to get some hand-rolled noodles for everyone to eat.
Although the food was simple, the specifications of this reception feast could be said to be very grand.
Chen Jisheng, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou, Wei Yuntian, Ye Baiqing, Liu Mofeng, Madman, Liu Fuhai, Liu Congshu, Lin Yue, Yue Zhonglin, Lu Fei, Gongsun Ban... and even Wen Chengxu made a special trip here.
Since coming to Yanyun County, this is the first time that there are so many heads.
Everyone is waiting for Xiao Chen to say a few words...
"Shan Chang is still in Xianbo. Have you come back with the news? Is Wu Luolan okay?" This is what Xiao Chen misses the most.
"Yes." Ye Baiqing said.
"Ah?" Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard this and his expression changed drastically.
Mainly because I was too nervous, and Ye Baiqing's answer was also immoral. What does it mean to have it?
Is Uluolan pregnant?
"There's news." Ye Baiqing sighed, "You guys are so happy for nothing, Wu Luolan didn't fall in love with your boss!"
"Oh..." Xiao Chen was relieved, but at the same time he felt a little regretful.
It's really hard to describe this complicated emotion.
"Why isn't Han Ming here? Have you gone back to your hometown?" Xiao Chen looked around, but Wu Hanming was nowhere to be seen.
After Xiao Chen arrived at Fengyang City, he asked Wu Hanmingyibu and the Burmese soldiers to come back first. Of course, all the gold and jewelry were also transported back.
Wu Hanming's hometown was in Bailong City, Yanyun County, so Xiao Chen thought he had returned to his hometown.
"I went back and saw that he had no relatives at home, and his house was gone... After coming back for two days, he left all his men to me and ran to the shipyard by the river." Dugulou said with a smile, " We also had a quarrel with Gongsun Ban, we were talking about this just now."
"Wu Hanming is extremely rude!" Gongsun Ban was very angry when talking about this matter. "He insisted that I modify the warships that I had built into the style of their Burmese warships, and also removed the installed cannons. What kind of bullshit cannon are they installing? Isn’t this nonsense!”
"Gongsun fought him back and he found me again. I asked him to find the madman, but the madman ignored him. He may be wandering around the arsenal now." Dugu Lou said.
"This man is very stubborn!" said the madman. "If their swivel cannon is better than the cannon I developed, I would be too lazy to talk to him and let him see for himself."
"But he is definitely an excellent naval general. Boss, please give him to me." Dugulou admired Wu Hanming very much. Now he lacks such experienced generals.
Although Yue Zhonglin is also very good, he has never fought a water battle. He can fight hand-to-hand, but he cannot command ships to deal with the opponent.
"Their commanders all gave it to you. There were actually twenty warships, but they were all intercepted by that bastard Li Feng." Xiao Chen became very angry when he talked about this.
"Warships are easy to get, but generals are hard to find!" Dugulou doesn't care about warships, he only values talents.
"Boss, Qin Gang's vanguard of 5,000 people has arrived. I arranged them all in a temporary military camp outside the West City. The deputy general Zhou Wulin who led the army wanted to take over the defense of Changshan Prefecture. I did not agree and he was still very unhappy. , Haha, do they want to fight the Russians or do they want to have a fight with us first?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Don't bother him, wait until Qin Gang comes." Xiao Chen said.
"What if Qin Gang insists on taking over Changshan's defense?" Zhuge Xiaosheng asked.
"It's not just Changshan." Xiao Chen sneered, "He also wants to take over our entire Yanyun County! It's just that this guy is too impatient. The Ross people haven't driven away yet, and they want to occupy the territory. , I must be spared!"
"The boss must not die, so Qin Gang will have to die." Ye Baiqing said with a smile, "He committed suicide on his own, but we can't blame him."
Everyone here understands this simple truth.
Zhuge Xiaosheng transferred all his elite soldiers to Xiaocheng and hid them openly in the name of building a city for the people. Xiaocheng was on the only way Qin Gang came here, so it was almost right under his nose. It was up to him to see what he could do. Can't find it?
It doesn't matter if you find out, just say that these soldiers who were recruited temporarily at the beginning are now ordered to be disbanded by Master Xiao, so they can just be used to build the city.
The reason is quite good.
The navy of Dugulou is all stationed by the river. This has been reported to the emperor. They are all improvised and improvised, and have no combat effectiveness at all.
Qin Gang didn't understand water warfare, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to take this rabble under his command, but even if he wanted it, Xiao Chen wouldn't give it to him!
Xiao Chen only promised the emperor to give Qin Gang three thousand elite troops. He could and did give this, and they were indeed elite heavy armored cavalry, led by Wei Yuntian himself.
You have to say this is full of sincerity, right?
But whether you can command Wei Yuntian or not is your own business. Anyway, I leave everything to you.
Xiao Chen didn't leave a single soldier in Changshan City...but there was a city defense team responsible for public security. It was not many, only two thousand people. The city defense captain was Lin Yue.
In addition, there is a horse farm in the south of the city. There are a thousand people including grooms, helpers, logistics and guards, but the director of the horse farm is Yama.
Of course, important places like Madman's Arsenal and Madman Liu Fuhai's Royal Treasure Prison are guarded by hundreds of security teams, so they are not worth mentioning.
As for the regular army, there is none... If there is one, it is the personal guards in Governor Xiao Chen's Mansion.
That is, Xiao Ye's Cavalry Guard, Ling'er's Flying Wing Guard, and Lu Fei's Yulin Guard.
