Having said this, Zhu Chaoshi's eyes fell on the deck below the commander's platform. Amidst the swaying sound of the wooden ladder, a well-armed man with general robes and armor slowly walked in and joined several other bows. They were all dressed in short clothes and barefoot. The difference was that he was wearing armor and a general's robe, which was almost the same as Zhu Chaoshi's dress during the military meeting on the shore.
But the problem is that now even Zhu Chaoshi has changed into a powerful outfit, wearing a water jacket, and is obviously ready for water battles. He doesn't even use the euphorbia, but holds a sword. Compared with this wise man, It seems that Zhu Chaoshi is the subordinate, and he is the commander-in-chief of the army.
Zhu Chaoshi's expression was calm, while the faces of the other captains were slightly turned to one side. This was a visible provocation and disrespect for the coach. He was late on purpose and covered in armor. He was obviously trying to steal Zhu Chaoshi's limelight. Although he was always wise, Arrogant, but this was the first time that he had gone too far. Xia Yiqi rolled his eyes and laughed: "Junior brother Ying, a pre-war military expert, why are you wearing such a grand thing? Just to wear armor, by mistake It’s not worth the time for the meeting. Look, even Junior Brother Zhu doesn’t dress like this. You should tell him quickly..."
Zhu Chaoshi spoke slowly, interrupting Xia Yiqi's words: "If an apology is useful, then why do we need military orders? You are wise, you have been in the divine religion for a long time and have been in the army for many years. This thunder and drum gathers generals and delays. I shouldn’t be the one to teach you how to practice military law.”
Ying Mingzhi had already stood in front of Zhu Chaoshi at this time, and had no intention of going behind the empty stall. His face was still written with arrogance and disdain: "According to your wishes, Junior Brother Zhu, I want to meet you tonight." The enemy fleet is in a decisive battle, so after the last military meeting, I ordered the whole ship to prepare for battle. Since the enemy ship is preparing to attack our giant ship and board the ship to fight, then we must be fully armed and listen to the drums and trumpets. At the time of the call, the general was supervising his subordinates and inspecting combat readiness, so it took a little time to go back to pierce the armor. Moreover, the general's Kuaiji ship was outside, and it would take half an hour to arrive by boat, so it was a little late. , please forgive me, Junior Brother Zhu."
Zhu Chaoshi said coldly: "It doesn't seem to be the case. Your boat has arrived at the Tianshi before half a stick of incense. It's not even slower than Brother Lin's boat. It arrives almost at the same time, but it's like this. How can we explain this slowness?"
Ying Mingzhi curled his lips and said lightly: "Because I have a stomachache, I was a little slow when boarding the ship. Junior Brother Zhu, it seems that you have worn armor and helmets a lot in the past, so you should understand. This feeling."
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "Then have I ever missed any military meeting even for a moment because I was wearing armor?"
Ying Mingzhi's face changed slightly, and a long scar on his right cheek jumped: "You have been on the flagship Tianshi, so naturally you will not be late, but we have to come from other places, this is not fair."
Zhu Chaoshi looked directly at Ying Mingzhi: "Military orders are like mountains, how can there be any talk of fairness or unfairness? Besides, you are a senior general. You should know better than me what should and should not be worn in a water battle. When will you, Ying's bow? When you lead a ship into battle, do you wear such armor? Are the officers and soldiers on your ship as armored as you now?"
Beads of sweat began to form on Ying Mingzhi's forehead, and he gritted his teeth: "Junior Brother Zhu, I was just a little late, and I did prepare the army for war. You have just received the Heavenly Master's token and have the real right to command. , I just wanted to dress more formally and congratulate you, so I lost some time. If you want to punish me, I will accept it. Why humiliate me in public here? "
Zhu Chaoshi sneered and said: "Okay, since the captain of the British ship is willing to engage in military law, it will be easy to handle. Everyone knows the military law. Senior Brother Xia, when the drums are beating to gather the generals, the drums cannot stop. Why is it a crime?"
Xia Yiqi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This is the crime of being slow to the army."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded, looked at Lin Zihao, and said: "Senior Brother Lin, the soldiers and sailors on the ship at the bow of the Ying ship clearly did not have all the soldiers and sailors wear helmets and change land warfare equipment, but he said in front of me that it was because the whole ship They were all changing their clothes, so they were late, so what’s the crime?”
Ying Mingzhi's expression changed and he quickly said: "Junior Brother Zhu, the soldiers on my ship are indeed preparing for battle. They..."
Zhu Chaoshi waved his hand, stopped, and continued to say: "What you just said is that they are all changing their armor and stomach just like you. I just want to ask you, are they all changing this kind of large armor like you?" Or wear leather armor instead of the powerful clothing and water support used for fighting through water?"
Ying Mingzhi wanted to nod instinctively, but when he saw the sharp light in Zhu Chaoshi's eyes, he was so frightened that he retracted his words. While hesitating, he heard Zhu Chaoshi sneer and said: "How about I send someone now?" I'll go check it out on your Kuaiji number. If it's not as you said, everyone changes their clothes, then the crime will be increased, how about that?"
The sweat beads on Ying Mingzhi's head got bigger and bigger, and he began to wipe it with his hands. He forced a smile: "Well, the general made a mistake just now and didn't express it clearly. In fact, what the general wanted to say was, the officers and men on my ship We are all getting ready for the battle, and the last general is wearing this armor mainly to show his respect for Junior Brother Zhu, oh, no, for General Zhu, you have to be more formal, so..."
Zhu Chaoshi laughed: "Okay, Senior Brother Lin, tell me, what Ying Mingzhi said just now was a momentary gaffe. What kind of crime is this in the army?"
Lin Zihao sighed and said: "Junior brother Ying, there is no joke in the army. You are also a veteran general. Why don't you even understand this? Why don't you quickly apologize to General Zhu and accept the punishment?"
Zhu Chaoshi suddenly said sharply: "Didn't you hear what I said? Lin Zihao, what I asked was what crime he committed. I didn't ask you to plead for mercy. Do you also want to commit a military crime?"
Lin Zihao's face turned pale with fright. The roar of Zhu Chaoshi's thundering ship was still ringing in his ears. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Joking in the army should be regarded as a crime of bullying the army."
Zhu Chaoshi's expression softened slightly, and he looked at Huang Bozi, the bow of another Wuxing ship, and said: "Huang Bow, you said, it is wise to say that I have this Celestial Master's token, so I wore this armor to see me as a token of my wisdom. Respect, that is to say, even though I was personally appointed as the fleet coach by Master Lu, he did not respect me. After all, he respected not me, but the Celestial Master Order. Such ignorance General, what is the crime under the military law for the following act of overlording?"
