Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Haojia continued: "In addition, what did you say about northerners and southerners? I want to ask you, we are all people of the Ming Dynasty, who asked you to divide them into southerners and northerners? Is it someone from the army? Aren’t the northerners your lord?”
Liu Pingjiang was caught by Liu Haojia's words and was speechless for a moment. Unexpectedly, Liu Haojia said directly: "Leaving your family affects the morale of the army. So how many people in the border army have left their hometowns, and why does it not affect morale? Why does it affect morale when they come to you? Are you still not a soldier? Retreat. ! If I hear you talking nonsense again, I will punish you for provocation!"
Liu Pingjiang had no choice but to stand up and return to the squad. However, he glanced at another officer. After seeing that, the officer nodded slightly, then left the squad and said: "Young Marshal, exit..."
As soon as the man said this, he heard Liu Haojia say loudly: "Who are you? Kneel down and sign up to speak! Why don't you all have any rules?"
This man was stunned when Liu Haojia drank him, and then he realized what he was doing. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Wang An, has seen the young marshal!"
Liu Haojia said coldly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Wang An lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly, and then said loudly: "I'm telling you, Marshal, the Quanzhou Navy is all from the south. I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to the acclimatization in the north! If the soldiers are lost, it will hurt the Marshal's love for soldiers!"
Liu Haojia said coldly: "Wang An, right? Let me ask you, when a war breaks out, do you also have to tell Shangguan that you are not acclimatized to the climate? Does that mean that the enemy has to kneel down and let you chop him down? ?”
After finishing speaking, Liu Haojia didn't let him get up and said directly: "If anyone else wants to say anything, please come forward and say it!"
Immediately, a man came out of duty and fell to his knees on the ground: "Xiaoguan Zhao Baozhen tells the young marshal, please suspend the change of defenses! The Quanzhou Navy is familiar with the water conditions in the south. If the defenses of the north and the south are changed rashly, I am afraid that the navy of both places will not be familiar with the new defenses." The water conditions in the jurisdiction may make it impossible to achieve combat effectiveness in a short period of time. What if..."
Liu Haojia interrupted him directly and said: "That's why I want to change the defenses of the northern and southern naval divisions and get more familiar with the sea conditions in various places! Do you think you will only fight in your hometown in the future? Do you think it will take three to five years to get familiar with the enemy's country before you can fight? ? This is ridiculous! Who else wants to say anything?"
Immediately, another person came out of work and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty Huang Ruisheng reported to the Young Marshal that the Young Marshal went south and killed many pirates. Now there are still hundreds of heads hanging on the dock. This is the Young Marshal's great contribution!" But this move too much stimulates the pirates, and it is inevitable that some extremely vicious people will try to retaliate! Therefore, at this time, the Quanzhou Navy, which is most familiar with the local situation, will not be easily transferred to the north. Please..."
Liu Haojia also interrupted him and said sternly: "What, is it wrong for me to kill the pirates? If I don't go to encircle and suppress those pirates, won't the pirates come out to rob them? Of course when they come to retaliate, they will fight and kill them, otherwise they will need water. What does the teacher do?”
At this time, another person came forward and knelt down and said: "Young Commander Liu Jin, I have nothing to fear from those pirates! But if they attract Japanese pirates, I'm afraid all life will be ruined. Those Japanese pirates..."
Hearing this, Liu Haojia burst out laughing and said, "What you are saying makes no sense! Did someone provoke them when the Japanese pirates caused trouble in our country? Besides, since our country can wipe out the Japanese pirates once, we can wipe out the second time!" Who else wants to say anything?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another person came out of duty and knelt down and said: "I am the Commander-in-Chief, Wang Junhui. Now the navy's internal equipment is defective, and many ships need to be repaired! I'm afraid I won't be able to travel in a hurry!"
Liu Haojia slammed the table and said sternly: "Now that I think of replenishing equipment and repairing ships, what did you do on weekdays? Do you only know how to eat, drink and have fun? Don't you wait until the war starts to tell the enemy that our army has the equipment now?" Incomplete, the ship has not been repaired, and the fight will start in a few days! What a bastard!"
Then another person went off duty and knelt down and said: "I am Marshal Wang Wei, according to the rules, before the army is developed, there must be a sum of money allocated for deployment, but until now..."
Liu Haojia was even more angry when he heard this. He slammed the table again and said, "Follow the rules! Whose rules do you follow? How come I don't know that the military regulations include such things as pay for departure? And haven't I paid you any pay since I took office?" ?Have I ever sent you one tael of silver?"
Now Wang Wei was sweating on his forehead! Even other Quanzhou Navy officers glared at him! If you're so damn good, what money can you ask for? The military pay has been divided among everyone. If you mention this again, aren't you giving people knives?
But before Liu Haojia could ask any more questions, someone else came out and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Chang Haoran reported to the young marshal that this change of defense is a big deal. The soldiers must have been uneasy and complaining when they first heard the order! So I still invite the young marshal. Delay for a while and let me wait to appease the soldiers, otherwise..."
Liu Haojia said sternly: "What else? Are you afraid that the soldiers will rebel? There is a fleet parked outside the sea now. I want to see who dares to rebel? Moreover, when the army is ordered to set off, they have to appease the soldiers. Such soldiers must either be punished or expelled. How can this happen when you are out in the army or beheaded? It seems that you don't know how to lead troops on weekdays, so you are worried! What a real fool!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Haojia saw that another person wanted to leave the shift, so he said loudly: "That's enough! I can see that you are just unwilling to change defenses! Then I will clearly tell you that before the north-south change of defenses, Things must go on! If you don’t want to, you can hand over your identity, and I will allow you to disarm and return to your fields! Whoever is willing to leave now should sign up here with me!"
As soon as Liu Haojia said these words, the entire hall fell into silence! Those on the ground, including those officers who were not on duty, all lowered their hands and made no sound! Originally, they were officials just to gain power and make money. If they were to be dismissed and returned to their fields as ordinary people, losing their rights and wealth, wouldn't life be worse than death?
Liu Haojia waited for a cup of tea. When he saw that no one spoke and no one came out, he said loudly: "It seems that no one is willing to disarm and return to the field! Then act according to the military order! From today on, all ministries will count the ships, The soldiers and other supplies must be counted clearly within five days and reported to the commander for reorganization! The entire Quanzhou Navy will be split and reorganized into four squadrons, and the commanders of each fleet will be re-appointed! If any Those who don’t obey will be subject to the military law!”
Upon hearing Liu Haojia's solemn words, the men of the Beiyang Navy and some officers of the Quanzhou Navy immediately bowed and said: "I obey the command of the young marshal!"
