Li Wenhe looked at Chen Lin, his eyes like fire.
He knew that he was being played by Chen Lin.
Chen Lin lied to him from the beginning!
Chen Lin had no intention of letting this battle turn into a big defeat due to human factors.
The reason why Chen Lin lied to him was to use him to mislead Xiyi in Manila.
Therefore, he became Jiang Gan.
Fortunately, he always calls himself Zhang Liang!
"The subscription coupons my Li family got from selling land!"
Li Wenhe then thought about the fact that he had asked his family member Feng Ge to sell his family's subscription tickets, and he couldn't help but scream in his heart.
He wants to go back now, and wants to stop his family member Feng Ge and tell him not to sell the subscription tickets.
But now the ship has sailed and he can't go back!
Li Wenhe looked at the land that was getting further and further away from his sight, and his heart became more and more anxious.
Li Wenhe even wanted to jump off the boat and swim back.
But his reason told him that this was impossible.
And Li Wenhe now understood why Chen Lin changed his mind only after the army set sail. It was obvious that he did not want him to have the opportunity to inform the situation!
Because once the army reaches the sea, it will be useless no matter how wise you are.
After a while, Li Wenhe couldn't help but think, in this case, wouldn't it be possible for the court to know that he was conspiring to instigate the coach to deceive the emperor and undermine the country's political affairs?
And because of this, he didn't even have the chance to escape.
Unless he jumped into the sea, he would have to wait helplessly to be escorted back to the capital from the ship by the Jin Yiwei.
Li Wenhe therefore took another look at the boundless sea.
He wanted to jump but still didn't dare.
Because if you jump, you will be buried in the belly of the fish.
If you don't jump, even if you are sentenced to death in the future, you can still be buried in your hometown.
Therefore, Li Wenhe did not jump in the end.
He just hated Chen Lin now, so he took another look at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin ignored him and went back to her cabin to look at the map.
"Rada, the governor of Franji who was entrenched in Luzon, once wrote to their monarch that only two large ships worth about 1,000 materials and 80 soldiers could conquer the country!"
"And based on the recent interrogation of these Flemish officials, it has been proven that they are really arrogant and do not take the country seriously!"
"So, when we use our troops this time, we still have to take advantage of their arrogance and their desire for a decisive battle to catch them by surprise!"
Chen Lin told Chen Maoxiu his plan while looking at the map.
As a patriotic general in history who sacrificed his life to fight against the Qing Dynasty until the fourth year of Yongli reign, Chen Maoxiu listened very carefully and said at this time:
"Father, why are they so confident? Do they really not know how great my emperor is, or are they so arrogant that they have no respect at all?"
"you are wrong."
"They actually know us very well. They wanted to conquer us earlier than we wanted to conquer them, so they had already started investigating us and contacted our bureaucrats as early as the World Temple."
Chen Lin said.
After hearing this, Chen Maoxiu became even more puzzled: "Then why do they think that two large ships with a thousand materials and eighty soldiers can conquer us?"
"Can't it?"
"Before His Majesty came to the throne, or to be precise, before the Mumiao Dynasty started its great reforms, there were indeed cases where dozens of Japanese pirates reached Nandu."
"When the old rites were in vogue, most of the Chinese people were not warlike, indulged in pleasure, and their armies were depleted. Many wealthy families were willing to provide aid to internal thieves, so they felt that they could conquer the country with just two large ships and eighty soldiers. Chao, in fact, it was not so whimsical at the time!”
"It's just that they haven't fully realized that the dynasty has changed! Duke Ji changed the military system, Duke Zhong changed the tax system, and Duke Yu Wenzheng (Yu Youding) proposed new rituals. Therefore, the current great Tomorrow morning we had the desire to conquer the world, but now we are going to fight them."
"But it often takes decades to understand the changes in the general trend of the world! And those who can see the situation ten or twenty years from now can even be considered as Zhuge is still alive!"
"So, Xiyi doesn't know that the Ming Dynasty has changed now, and their concept of the Ming Dynasty is still the same as before. In other words, they are more willing to believe that the Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty as before. In addition, the wealthy families who cooperate with them are also more willing to let them believe that. The Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty before.”
After Chen Lin said this to Chen Maoxiu, he fixed his eyes on the location of Tortoiseshell Port.
"I see."
"Presumably the eldest father deliberately deceived Li Wenhe in order to further paralyze the Western barbarians and make them even more mistakenly believe that the internal affairs of the dynasty were still the same as before. Although the emperor admired martial arts, the people below did not like conquests and only wanted to harm the country and benefit themselves. .”
After Chen Maoxiu said that, he asked Chen Lin: "But is this true?"
Chen Lin smiled slightly, and then said: "If you don't do this, although the Western Yi are crazy, they will only withdraw early because they know that the country really wants to use force seriously. Now, they must not want to withdraw. And they even want to join us in giving our Ming Emperor a heavy blow."
After Chen Lin said that, she added: "Now let's wait and see if Li Wenhe understands what he should do now."
"The Governor!"
At this time, Li Wenhe actually came over, raised his hands to Chen Lin and said:
"Wansheng knows how many troops and warships the Western Barbarians have added to defend against our king's division, and he can also estimate their situation on the Luzon islands through our smuggling situation. When the time comes, Wansheng is willing to lead They disguised themselves as smuggling merchant ships and went to Tortoiseshell Port first, catching the Westerners off guard."
After Li Wenhe said this, he bowed again: "Please also ask the governor to give Wan Sheng a chance to make atonement for his sins!"
He has just figured out that instead of jumping into the sea and committing suicide, he has another option, which is to betray the entire smuggling clan and work for the court instead!
After all, he is now on a large military ship, and one advantage is that he can have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
It was only after he figured it out that he realized that Chen Lin actually left him a way to survive, but he just didn't notice it at first.
Chen Lin immediately helped him up and said with a smile: "This is the best, both you and I need to make atonement!"
…
"I only want Luzon!"
"Anyone who impeaches Uncle Weng Yuan at this time will be demoted to a miscellaneous position in the extreme places on the grounds that they have ulterior motives and want to harm the military affairs. They will be asked to perform meritorious services in the extreme places to atone for their sins, and they will not be able to return for their unfulfilled achievements!"
Capital.
Perhaps some people guessed that Zhu Yijun was worried about Chen Lin, who had a lot of misdeeds and was originally from a wealthy coastal family, so he began to impeach Chen Lin and expose all the things Chen Lin had done. out.
Although Zhu Yijun became more and more uneasy because of this, his reason told him that it is an essential quality for an emperor to not be suspicious of people and not suspicious of people. Therefore, he still issued an order to the Imperial Palace to severely punish the officials who impeached Chen Lin.
But Zhu Yijun can show that he has no doubts, and will not change the commander on the spot because Chen Lin's many misdeeds were exposed by the officials at this time, and even start to prepare mentally for the defeat of the Luzon Conference, but the people of the world But because of these things, I really started to become more and more worried and doubtful.
"Your Majesty, Weng Yuanbo is known to the world to be greedy for money and profit, and his relatives and friends may have colluded with the traitors and have the advantage of smuggling and monopolizing our Chinese goods to Luzon trade. Therefore, I would like to order the Privy Council to discuss another commander-in-chief. , and prevent the country from going out to sea to conquer the traitors, which will not only harm the bravery of the soldiers, but also reduce the morale, waste the country's money, and undermine the new policy of the world!"
therefore.
Many officials began to remonstrate and directly asked the emperor to change his commander. Instead of focusing on Chen Lin's personal problems, they began to really worry about the entire conquest of Luzon.
Therefore, in the early morning of the day, everyone sent a memorial to Zhu Yinghu, asking the court to change the commander-in-chief.
Then, Xue Sancai from the Military Department also followed suit and said: "Your Majesty, now the subscription tickets have plummeted and everyone is selling because they are not trustworthy about Chen Lin, which has led to the current situation. Even if it is to stabilize the current subscription tickets and stabilize the entire For the overall purpose of the implementation of the new rites, please ask your Majesty to order the Privy Council to discuss changing the leader, so as not to cause great harm to the world!"
"Your Majesty, I second my opinion. The defeat of Luzon is a small matter, but the selling and running of subscription tickets is a big matter!"
"Your Majesty, I also agree that this conquest of Luzon is related to the success or failure of the imperial court's new policy, and the leader must use it with caution, otherwise, no one will be able to shoulder this responsibility!"
…
For a time, many ministers came forward one after another to express their concerns about whether Chen Lin could successfully fight the Luzon War.
Zhu Yijun can't blame him for this. After all, he may have spoken boldly because he was really worried about national affairs, rather than demanding that Chen Lin be punished.
What's more, Zhu Yijun couldn't block the way of speech too much. He couldn't let other officials criticize ministers and not let other officials speak on major national affairs.
