"General, my lord." Chen Zhong came to the cave, bowed to Mao Wenlong, then looked aside and said, "General Mao and Shopkeeper Xu are also here."
Xu Xuewu smiled and nodded towards Chen Zhong.
Mao Wenlong, who was standing at the entrance of the cave with his hands behind his back, looked at Chen Zhong and said, "Why did you come here so late?"
"Reporting to your lord," Chen Zhong said, "I drank some wine with General Mao and Shopkeeper Xu earlier. I couldn't control the amount. I drank too much and slept on the kang in General Mao's house. Later, I was shocked by the sound of cannons. Awake."
Mao Wenlong said solemnly: "Drink less wine from now on, let alone get drunk alone. If Hou Jin attacks Tieshan, how will you lead the troops to meet the enemy?"
"The general will finally be convicted." Chen Zhong bowed.
Mao Chenglu said: "Okay, please pay attention in the future. Now you are also the general in charge of the army. You are no longer the flag officer beside me. I can't blame you too much."
"Yes, I will always remember your teachings." Chen Zhong said with a serious face.
Mao Chenglu on the side said: "General Chen, just hope you are okay. The shelling was too urgent before. I went to my foster father's place again, so I had to let my soldiers go find you."
Chen Zhong turned sideways, looked at Mao Chenglu, and complained: "You and shopkeeper Xu left without calling us brothers. If you hadn't been awakened by the bombardment, you might have been buried under the rubble by now."
"So the house collapsed?" Mao Chenglu asked nervously.
He spent a lot of effort to build those few houses. If the house was collapsed by cannons, he would have to sleep in a cave, but there is no house in the cave that is comfortable to sleep in.
"That's not true." Chen Zhong shook his head slightly, then looked at Mao Wenlong cautiously, and said, "The main ones that collapsed were your Lord's house and the houses closest to it."
Mao Wenlong's face turned dark when he heard this.
The Tiger Flag's artillery did not bombard other houses on Pi Island, but specifically targeted his house, the deputy commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, for bombardment. He was very clear about the implications of each.
But he knew that it was not easy for him to get into trouble with Tiger Character Banner now. After all, he was only the deputy commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and behind Tiger Character Banner was Wei Zhongxian, who was also the person closest to the Holy Emperor. You can let him continue to work as the deputy commander.
He took the risk and came to Pidao in order to one day make great achievements and immediately become a marquis, just like Li Chengliang did in Liaodong, making Dongjiang Town his own territory and creating a situation of separatist vassalage.
Chen Zhong turned to look at Mao Chenglu and said, "When I came out of General Mao's house, I saw that the artillery was fired from the sea. Could it be that Hou Jin was attacking Pi Island?"
"No." Mao Chenglu shook his head slightly.
Chen Zhong frowned and said, "That's strange. If it wasn't Hou Jin, who else would be bombarding our Pi Island? It can't be someone from the Denglai Navy!"
Mao Chenglu glanced at Xu Xuewu without saying anything. On the mobile phone, remember "→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m" in one second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
Xu Xuewu on the other side coughed and said: "There was a misunderstanding between the Cao Min and General Mao, and the people on board the two cargo ships brought by the Cao Min misunderstood, and this was the scene of the bombardment of Pi Island."
"The ones bombarding Pidao were your ships with the tiger flag!" Chen Zhong frowned, showing dissatisfaction.
Xu Xuewu said: "Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved. When the shelling stops, the civilians will go to the dock to stop the people on the boat from continuing to fire."
"That would be the best." Chen Zhong said coldly.
The sound of artillery did not last long and soon stopped. The four 18-pound cannons could not keep firing. The barrels of the cannons also needed to be cooled down. Moreover, the people on the ship did not want to attack Phi Island, so naturally they would not keep firing. After all, every time they fired, The cannons fired out are all white money.
Xu Xuewu saluted Mao Wenlong and said, "Sir, the sound of cannons has stopped. The civilians will go to the dock to ask the people on the boats not to fire cannons on the island."
"Yeah." Mao Wenlong nodded expressionlessly.
At this time, Mao Chenglu said: "Father, why don't you let me accompany shopkeeper Xu to the dock?"
"No need." Mao Wenlong shook his head and said immediately, "Just arrange for two soldiers to accompany him."
"Yes." Mao Chenglu stepped aside.
Xu Xuewu bowed his hands to Chen Zhong and Mao Chenglu again, then left the cave and walked towards the dock.
Chen Zhong, who was standing in front of the cave entrance, looked at Xu Xuewu's retreating back and said, "Sir, the people of the Tiger Flag are so outrageous. They dared to bombard Pi Island. This matter must not be left alone." Recommended Reading TV//
"Then what do you want to do?" Mao Wenlong looked at Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong said: "Please give me an order. The general is willing to lead a sentry to capture the two cargo ships carrying the tiger flag as a punishment."
"The method you mentioned has already been done once by Chenglu." Mao Wenlong said in a bad tone, "It was precisely because Chenglu failed to take down the cargo ship with the tiger flag that it attracted artillery fire on their ship. Do you want to do it again?" Let Pi Dao do a bombardment!"
"I don't dare." Chen Zhong bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault. After all, we don't have a navy in Dongjiang Town. The only few small boats can be said to be helpless against the big ships with the tiger flag on the sea."
Mao Chenglu on the side interjected: "Father, I have noticed that the cannon on the Tiger Flag ship is very powerful and has a long range. It can hit the houses on the island from such a distance. It is better than the general cannon in Guangning." Much more powerful.”
"Well, I also discovered what you said." Mao Wenlong said, "A Datong business actually purchased such a sharp weapon. It is simply lawless. If it had been during the Jiajing period, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would have destroyed this tiger flag. .”
Chen Zhong said: "Your Majesty, why don't you write the last memorial and inform the court about the huge cannon in the Tiger Flag? I think the court will strictly investigate the Tiger Flag."
"That's inappropriate." Mao Chenglu said, "The Tiger Flag is backed by Wei Gong. Even if the adoptive father is paid off, it is easy for Wei Gong to use other means to deceive Shengting. Instead, the adoptive father will offend Wei Gong for nothing, and in the future, Hu I’m afraid Zi Qi will never send a ship to Dongjiang Town again.”
Chen Zhong frowned.
He naturally understood the meaning of Mao Chenglu's words.
It was nothing more than a reluctance to part with the benefits of the Tiger Flag. After all, the Tiger Flag brought a shipload of grain, grass, and other supplies that were in short supply in Dongjiang Town, and what they received in exchange were nothing more than worthless trees.
For Dongjiang Town, this kind of deal was a waste of money. Dongjiang Town spent almost nothing and got enough benefits from Huziqi.
Mao Wenlong said at this time: "What Chenglu said is somewhat true. The tiger-character flag cannot be moved for the time being. Although the court allows the establishment of Dongjiang Town, Dongjiang Town is not as good as other towns. There are too many things lacking, especially Dongjiang Town. It accommodates many people and requires a lot of food and grass alone. It is difficult to meet the needs of Dongjiang Town with the little food and grass sent by Denglai."
"It's because I didn't think it through properly." Chen Zhong handed over his hand and admitted his mistake.
At the same time, I felt extremely fed up.
Dongjiang Town obviously needs the supplies sent by the Tiger Flag, but it still has to use big wood to hold the Tiger Flag. It would be fine if it succeeds. In the end, it can do nothing to the people of the Tiger Flag, and even let the other party bombard Pidao, causing All face was lost.
