"Well, he is actually quite pitiful." Ren Tiantang also knows the origin of Salingman, but has never seen him. Fortunately, he has never seen him...
"I feel like being a prince or a princess is quite unlucky." Xiao Chen said.
If Sellingman and Heiman were just ordinary people, they would not have suffered such painful and terrible things. The bad luck lies in their backgrounds.
"Xiao Chen, I heard that you became sworn brothers with Emperor Shenzhao?" Ren Tiantang suddenly asked.
"That's pure nonsense. They're just sworn brothers who are just using each other." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, no matter what, you Yanyun is very close to Japan. I think the Japanese people are quite afraid of you. You should take more care of Bijiang in the future..." Ren Tiantang said.
"You don't need to tell me about this. Pijiang is Xiao Ye's brother. They are real buddies. I have always regarded Pijiang as my little brother." Xiao Chen said.
"He also treats you as his eldest brother, haha. Although this boy is young, he is actually very arrogant. I have never heard him say that he admires anyone since he was a child, but he just obeys you and thinks you are the best." He is a role model and wants to do great things... Paradise Island is too small to accommodate him," Ren Tiantang said.
"The son of an emperor is born with a seed." Xiao Chen said.
So things in the world are unpredictable. In fact, Xiao Chen and Ren Pijiang should be irreconcilable and sworn enemies. One is the prince of the former Han Dynasty, and the other is the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Zhou... They were born to fight to the death, but they Unexpectedly, by coincidence, they became good brothers.
"I would rather hope that he is just a child from an ordinary family, living a life without worries and desires," Ren Tiantang said.
It's a pity that this is just a good wish, because Ren Bijiang was not born ordinary.
He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, is familiar with war, and is also proficient in naval warfare. When he was only a teenager, he led troops to defeat the invading enemy on Paradise Island.
Ren Haitang did not shy away from relatives when promoting talents. Not only did he reveal to his subordinates that he was his biological son, he also gave him a warship, directly appointed him as the captain on the ship, and asked him to lead ten small warships to provide flank cover.
This nepotistic and rash and absurd move aroused great dissatisfaction among the admirals of the Japanese fleet. Before departure, they all came to Ren Haitang to question, why did they do this?
If it were an exercise, it would be understandable for you to appoint your son as the commander of the fleet covering the left wing. You would treat it as training for him, but this is a real battle!
It is about the honor of our empire and the survival of life and death. How can we work like this as a joke!
What does a little kid like him know about naval warfare? Do you know what flanking is?
Also, our left wing is very important. It needs to be very flexible in cooperating with the main fleet to conduct roundabout operations. It may even be transformed into the main forward force according to the battlefield conditions.
But you let a child take command, and he led a dozen small, backward, and weak-fired warships...
Once defeated by the opponent, it may lead to the failure of the entire campaign!
"Are you questioning my command ability?" Faced with the generals' questions, Ren Haitang acted extremely calmly.
"General Xiaolin, we are not questioning you, we are just worried." A short general said, "This battle is very important. We can only win but not lose, otherwise we will not be able to explain to Emperor Shen Zhao."
"If we launch the attack according to the original plan, we still have a good chance of winning. However, if you temporarily change the plan and replace General Toyota who is responsible for covering the left wing with your son, and only use those small battleships... we may encounter some Difficult." A white-bearded general said it rather euphemistically.
"Originally I wanted to inform you after we set off. Since you are in a hurry, I might as well tell you directly... You have all heard of a famous allusion in China called Tian Ji's horse racing, right?' Si, take your superior Si and his middle Si, take your middle Si and his inferior Si, your lower Si and his superior Si'"
Several generals looked at each other, wondering what General Xiaolin meant? We were discussing the battle, but you mentioned an allusion... Of course we know this allusion, but what does it have to do with this battle?
"I plan to let the left-wing fleet led by Pijiang Jun serve as the main vanguard to fight the opponent's main force. When the opponent's main force is restrained, our main force can take advantage of it and defeat it in one fell swoop!" Ren Haitang continued.
ah? Several generals were shocked when they heard this. General Xiaolin, you must be crazy, right?
Letting Lord Ren Pijiang's dozens of small warships attack the opponent's main large warships is not as simple as a race between a lower ship and a higher ship. What is the difference between this and dying in vain?
Even if it's a tactic of suspecting soldiers, it's not the way to use it! Besides, Lord Ren Bijiang is your biological son, isn't he?
"There are no mothers and sons on the battlefield, only superiors and subordinates. I am the general, and Mr. Pijiang is my colonel. He must obey my orders and fulfill the duties of a colonel. Yes, this is a very dangerous mission with a near-death risk. , but if I don’t send him, who can I send?” Ren Haitang said.
It turns out that she is not showing nepotism, but wants to kill relatives out of justice!
"If General Xiaolin insists on doing this, then I should be the commander. Lord Ren Pijiang is too young, and he definitely doesn't have enough battlefield experience." General Xiaozhi is a real person. Seeing Ren Tiantang's arrangement, he was greatly moved. Unable to bear it, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help.
Everyone also said that this task is very important and is not suitable for Mr. Pijiang to do it. We can all do it...
Unexpectedly, Ren Haitang had already made up his mind, claiming that Pijiang-kun, as my biological son and the future heir of the Kobayashi shogunate, if he could not be on the front line and fight to the death in battle, how could he convince the public in the future? It would be a disgrace to the reputation of our Kobayashi shogunate!
If he is lucky enough to survive this battle, this general will naturally give him credit. If he unfortunately dies in battle, it will be for the sake of loyalty to Emperor Shenzhao. As his mother, I will also feel the supreme honor!
In short, I have made up my mind, no need to say anything, just follow my command. The success or failure of this battle is related to the reputation of the empire. If it fails, everyone will be crushed together, so I leave everything to you...
Seeing her resolute attitude, everyone couldn't say anything more, so they could only shake their heads, sigh, and leave silently.
Before the fleet set sail, Ren Bijiang came to say goodbye to Xiao Chen, Xiao Ye and others. When he saw the big guy looking at him, he looked at him with a very strange look. He thought it was because the armor on his body was too funny, so that's why the big guy had this expression.
"I don't want to wear this thing, but my mother insists that I wear it. In fact, once a fight breaks out, this thing is of no use at all. It can't even defend against muskets, let alone cannons. It's just a burden." Ren Bijiang He also explained it for a while.
"Humph, your mother is really willing to risk everything for you. The tiger's venom can't even eat its seeds! It's a good thing she bit you first before biting someone else!" The fat man complained on Ren Bijiang's behalf.
