If the commander-in-chief of the navy is the chief military officer, then the commander-in-chief is the chief political officer.
Arriving outside Guocheng, Cao Hu had a lot of freshly made wooden tables and chairs brought in. Chu Qing asked his third brother to accompany him on the pretext of asking someone to prepare food, and then gave Wen Ya a wink.
After bringing Wen Ya a hundred steps away, the smile on Chu Qing's face disappeared.
"Tell me about this guy."
This person, of course, refers to Chen Dinglan.
Chu Qing believed in his uncle and believed that he could tell whether a person was evil or evil, which was true.
But the world is not that simple. It does not mean that good people will not do bad things, and bad people will not do good things.
There are even some people who are really good people with a clear conscience, but they can kill a hundred people, hold the butcher knife high, covered in blood, and then say that they are saving a thousand people. In fact, he really thinks so, like this People also have clear eyes and no ghosts in their hearts.
Wen Ya knew what Chu Qing meant. She looked back at Chen Dinglan who was staring at Guo Chengwai and Fu San. She thought for a long time before speaking.
"Chen Shuai, everyone calls him a Confucian general. He has a good family background and is a branch of the Chen family of Guanghuai Dao."
"I know this, there's more."
"I am extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court and hate the imperial court."
Chu Qing nodded.
Who doesn't hate the imperial court? He also hates it. There are many people who hate the imperial court, but this doesn't mean anything. Feng Shuai, who has devoted most of his life to the imperial court, also hates the imperial court. Most of the soldiers at the border who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives. They all hated the imperial court.
"But this hatred is sorrow, anger, and hatred. I feel sorry for my misfortune, angry that I don't fight, and I hate that I don't do anything."
Mentioning this matter, Wen Ya also sighed: "Dudu has led soldiers and knows the temperament of us Qiu Ba. We want to kill the enemy, but we can't fill our stomachs. How can we kill without armor? How can we kill without weapons in our hands? How to kill? The Japanese thieves are causing trouble in the East China Sea. The boat master has the responsibility to defend the land. But this life is given to us by our father and mother. We only have one life. We must kill the enemy if we can. If we can kill the enemy, we must give it to him. Some food should be given to the weapons in hand and to the ships fighting. It is for this reason that Chen Shuai hates the imperial court."
Chu Qing knelt down, feeling helpless.
He had heard too many words like this. He couldn't refute them before, and he couldn't refute them now.
Wen Ya also squatted down and raked the yellow sand on the ground with her fingers: "Dudu, don't misunderstand. Chen Shuai hates the imperial court because he hates the Japanese thieves even more. If he doesn't hate the Japanese thieves, how can he hate the imperial court."
"I understand, can you trust him?"
"The last general doesn't know, the last general only knows that Marshal Chen is good at dancing and is good at all things. He mixes well among the aristocratic family. If the sailors are short of anything, he goes to get it, whether it's soft or hard, whether it's humiliating, or giving up. He has lost his reputation and sought benefits for our sailors. Many aristocratic families call Chen Shuai a family dog because he responds to requests. Even Chen Shuai sometimes laughs and says that he is a family dog and has no face. What do everyone lack? , just tell him, he, the shameless dog of the aristocratic family, has nothing to do with the aristocratic family."
Chu Qing's face showed emotion: "Seek compromise?"
"The general doesn't know what to say. Over the years, there have been many Japanese thieves coming ashore. Chen Shuai also knew about it. He killed them, but he also avoided fighting and allowed the Japanese thieves to massacre my people in Dachang..."
"Colluding with Japanese thieves?"
"General, I really don't know what to say. But instead of asking me, Dudu might as well ask Wang Tianyu. Before Wang Tianyu rebelled, he was on good terms with Chen Shuai."
"Okay, call Yuzai and I'll ask him."
Wen Ya responded and went to find Wang Tianyu.
After a while, Wen Ya came with Yu Zai, her expression a little aggrieved.
"Da Guo, why are you so close to that Chen Dinglan? You're a fucking coward."
Before Chu Qing could ask, Wang Tianyu was already scolding him.
Chu Qing smiled and said: "I think this person is quite capable."
"What's wrong? You're talking nonsense. This handsome man can't even fart. He's a coward."
After scolding again, Wang Tianyu looked back at Wen Ya as if looking for trouble: "Look at your dad, he's staring at me."
Wen Ya was confused.
You're all right, why are you scolding me?
This meant that Chu Qing was by his side, otherwise Wen Ya was not used to Wang Tianyu at all and would have scolded him back.
"You're not happy." Wang Tianyu looked like a psychopath, looking at Wen Ya and yelling: "If you don't accept it, I'll give you a fight. I'll take your skin off you and get away."
Chu Qing was about to laugh and scold Wang Tianyu for looking for trouble, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, raised his head and said to Wen Ya: "You go and accompany Chen Dinglan first, I will be there soon."
Wen Ya was not a fool. She immediately reacted and knew that Wang Tianyu was going to save her, so she didn't point it out and left after saying "yes".
As soon as Wen Laoliu left, Wang Tianyu directly spoke in serious mandarin: "Chen Shuai is a good man!"
"How to say?"
"He let me go because he made me defect."
"He asked you to defect?" Chu Qing's face was full of astonishment: "Why?"
"It's not just me, there are many brothers who have rebelled against the boat master. Chen Shuai secretly told us to give the boat, people, and food, so that we became pirates."
Chu Qing's pupils narrowed: "You have become pirates, so you can fight against Japanese thieves?"
"Yes, there are many cowards in the boat master, and there are many lackeys from the aristocratic families. If they are tied up and fight against the Japanese thieves, they will inevitably be made things difficult for them by the aristocratic families and the government. Chen Shuai asked some brothers who were good at boat skills to leave the boat master and draw the sea chart regularly. Send people to secretly send supplies, and ask us to attack the thieves that the boat master cannot defeat."
Wang Tianyu looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he continued in a low voice: "There are many islands inhabited by relatives of aristocratic families. These islands have rice, grain, and boats. Chen Shuai is on land, trying to please aristocratic families and inquire about news. , after finding out the information and location, they sent people to inform us at sea, and we went to destroy these idiots."
"I see!"
Chu Qing was quite shocked. He looked at Chen Dinglan who was still glaring at Fu San in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He somewhat admired this guy. He acted like a dog in front of others, extracting information, and acted like a thief behind others, playing tricks on others. This skill could only be said to be brilliant.
No wonder Wang Tianyu didn't mention anything about his defection before. It turned out that Chen Dinglan was the driving force behind it.
After taking a deep look at Wang Tianyu, Chu Qing had a complicated expression: "I've wronged you."
Wang Tianyu showed an innocent smile: "What's wrong with you? Japanese thieves will always be killed."
Chu Qing patted Wang Tianyu's arm, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
A good officer and soldier came from a noble family, but in order to kill Japanese pirates, he became a pirate. It seems to be a gangster attack, but it is not another manifestation of serving the family and the country and protecting the people.
Since wearing the armor of the Chang Dynasty army and looking forward and backward cannot kill the thief, then take off this armor and become a thief, using the identity of a thief to kill the thief.
Wang Tianyu said to himself: "On the islands in the sea, there are already sixteen pirate ships like mine among my brothers. Chen Shuai said that in the next five or six years, when we become more powerful, we will still be When we become thieves, we have ships, people, and food, and we become the biggest thieves on the sea. After we become thieves, we go to Yingdao and vent our bad breath on Dachang. If they become pirates and kill our people, we will use them as A person's way of doing things is a way of treating his body, and the coastal towns of Jiangying Island will also be beaten to the detriment of the people."
"On behalf of the emperor and the court, I promise you, I promise you, sooner or later, I will give you the honor you deserve."
Wang Tianyu scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "If you can become a rebel general, you won't care about these things."
Standing up, Chu Qing said seriously: "Let's go and get drunk with Chen Shuai."
