Of the ten ships, four were left and six set sail. The first stop was the Shangyundao Boat Master's camp to pick up Chen Yan and other Lake City veterans.
Setting sail at night, the old soldiers of Guocheng rode their horses and began to disperse around Guocheng. Any suspicious people they found were regarded as spies of other forces and were arrested.
The Mo family's Revenge was the flagship, with Chu Qing standing at the bow, and Cui Yu and Wang Tianyu at the helm, who took turns.
Since I had just left Guocheng, I didn't dare to light a torch. On the boat, I couldn't even see my fingers, but I had to dig out the couple's lungs.
There were clearly more than 800 people on board, but it was so quiet, like a ghost ship.
Chu Qing felt the cold sea breeze and always subconsciously looked back at his dozing uncle. Only when he saw his uncle was there would he feel at ease.
For two quarters of an hour, after the fleet completely disappeared into darkness, a torch was lit at the stern and the fleet turned around.
Chen Dinglan nodded secretly: "Dudu's men are all tigers."
Chu Qing remained silent, fearing that he would be exposed as an amateur.
He didn't understand, how could the other party see that all his subordinates were so tough without even farting?
The boat master Shang Yun was not far away, and he arrived at dawn. There was already a detective riding a fast horse to inform Chen Yan early in the morning.
Chu Qing didn't see with his own eyes what a bear the captain of the boat division looked like. There was fog on the sea, and six ships came out through the fog, flagged, and then followed the fleet and headed straight for Luo Yundao.
There were a total of fifteen ships and more than eighteen thousand people. Chu Qing was relieved and saluted Chen Dinglan again.
At this moment, Chu Qing completely regarded Chen Dinglan as one of his own.
Chen Dinglan smiled slightly, saying nothing.
The captain's warship can be recognized at a glance. Although there is heavy fog, Cuiyu can see Chen Yan and the old men from Hucheng who are wearing the captain's armor through his clairvoyance.
You must know that in this surprise attack on Luo Yundao's boat master camp, the commander-in-chief Chen Dinglan completely broke up with the other two boat masters. From the perspective of superiors and subordinates, he was only the second-in-command of the boat master, under the commander Di Qinhu.
By spreading the news, getting out of the ship, and even going for a surprise attack together, they were completely onboard Chu Qing's pirate ship, putting all their wealth and lives on Chu Qing and his gang.
Chen Dinglan returned to the cabin, but before turning around, there was a heavy look of worry on his face.
Chu Qing understood that Chen Dinglan wanted to follow, not as a hostage, but because he was really worried that his group was "killing innocent people indiscriminately."
If Luo Yundao's navy generals were killed, Chen Dinglan would definitely applaud, but if it hurt innocent soldiers who were just following orders, Chen Dinglan would definitely try his best to stop it.
"Why."
Sighing, Chu Qing prayed secretly, hoping that those boat division troops would not be so stupid. If they really fight to the death, the people on his side would not be able to hold back.
But when he thought about it, Chu Qing felt a little complicated.
Those who obey military orders are qualified troops. If they are qualified, they will fight with their own people. If they are not qualified, the troops of the Dachang Marine Division will be a bunch of trash. He hopes that this is a group of real sea dragons, but he is also afraid of it. Fight with your own life.
This is a very difficult thing. The boat master of Luo Yundao is different from Shang Yundao and Guanghuai Dao.
In Shangyun and Guanghuai provinces, the boat division camp was not fully staffed, so it was difficult to recruit troops.
But Luo Yundao was not like that. He said that he was not satisfied with the staffing, but in fact he might have been overstaffed.
Luo Yundao is like a place outside the law. It also obeys the orders of the court. It should pay taxes and pay taxes. It should take care of the court's money. It should take care of the court's money.
But in fact, the imperial court had nothing to order Luo Yundao, because this branch was specialized in building ships and training sailors. Over the years, Luo Yundao could be called the Zhoushi Dao. The number of civilians was not large, and 60 to 70% of them were boat masters. Relatives from the army joining the Marine Division are not like other Taoists. There is no saying that joining the army is worse than a dog. It is not a good thing, but it is definitely not a bad thing. At least it has a place.
Logically speaking, as the commander-in-chief of the palace, Chen Dinglan was appointed to the camp of Luo Yundao Zhoushi, but Di Qinhu used various specious reasons to get him to Shangyundao. From this, it can be seen that this Luo Yundao Zhoushi is Di Qin. A tiger's words mean exactly what he says.
Besides, the origin of Di Qinhu cannot be regarded as an appointment by the imperial court. It has a lot to do with the Yu family. The officials finally recognized it with pinched noses. After all, the generals who knew naval warfare in the country were all in the East China Sea. If he really sent someone Changjing guy may not have been able to convince the public in the past.
"Yu Zai, Lao Liu,"
Chu Qing turned around and shouted, and Wang Tianyu and Wen Ya walked over quickly.
"Tell me about the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Di Qinhu."
"A coward, he talks nonsense all day long."
Mentioning the commander-in-chief of the boat division, Wang Tianyu seemed to be full of complaints, and his face was full of contempt.
Wen Ya smiled bitterly and said: "This commander-in-chief of the boat division is blameless in his military training, but this man..."
Wang Tianyu snorted: "You are talking nonsense."
"What do you mean by talking nonsense?"
"My mouth is full of fart plugs." Wang Tianyu waved his hand: "Hey, you ask Lao Wen, I'll go to sleep."
After saying that, Wang Tianyu left, not knowing what was going on.
Chu Qing asked suspiciously: "Do Yuzai and Di Qinhu have a personal relationship?"
"It's not a personal relationship. Wang Tianyu was not originally from Shang Yun Taoist boat master, but from Luo Yundao."
When Wen Ya saw Wang Tianyu return to the cabin, she continued: "When he first joined the army, he was a school captain. There was also a school captain who was a brother-in-law with Wang Tianyu. However, Wang Tianyu used his connections with the Wang family and was transferred to Shangyun Dao Zhoushi, and another person But he stayed in Luo Yundao and is now the deputy general."
"What does it mean?"
"Di Qinhu likes to recruit talents, especially young talents. In fact, Di Qinhu also approached the general back then and promised him a high official and a generous salary, or he would follow him. The general wanted to kill the thief, but he politely declined, and then..."
Wen Ya paused for a moment and said with a sneer: "It's all old stuff, so don't mention it."
The gentle follower Bai Biao came out from nowhere and said angrily: "According to the qualifications of my adoptive father, he should have been qualified to be the commander of Jiao Camp. It was because he politely rejected Di Qinhu and returned to Shangyun Zhoushi Later, he encountered all kinds of difficulties, especially the commander of Jiao Camp, who was also a close confidant of Di Qinhu and wanted to murder Yi..."
"Shut up!" Wen Ya glared at Bai Biao, who then lowered his head and remained silent.
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not ask deeply. There were many things that the person involved did not want to say, so it was best not to ask further questions. He believed that one day, Wen Ya would take the initiative to tell him.
However, it can be heard from Bai Biao's few words that Wen Ya's Shangguan who killed him seemed to have other secrets, and it was also related to Di Qinhu, the commander of the navy.
"Dudu was asking about Wang Tianyu, not about the last general. I think Di Qinhu used the same rhetoric when he sought out Wang Tianyu."
"What rhetoric."
"This Chang Dynasty is not worthy of the sacrifice of our troops. The world will be in chaos sooner or later. The troops in Zhongzhou are divided and combined. They are all miserable ghosts on the battlefield. If they don't use their brains, they will spend their whole lives in the imperial court. The scapegoat.”
Chu Qing frowned and asked, "Did he say how to use his brain?"
"I told you that I would follow him and settle the property and some tribesmen in Yingdao. If the court doesn't fall out, we will all be part of the fleet. We can make more money and have more confidence. When the court falls behind, we can all take them with us. My relatives will go to Yingdao to enjoy their happiness."
"Is this the commander-in-chief?" Chu Qing cursed, "Why did he have the nerve to say it?"
"Wang Tianyu's life-long friendship brother presumably stayed in Luo Yundao's boat division because he was bewitched by Di Qinhu. Among the boat divisions, there were many generals who fell for this trick. Di Qinhu said, come out and fight for your life. Just to gain a future, in this world, real money and the knife in your hand are the hard currency and the foundation of your life. The court is not worth sacrificing your life. The emperor is not worth sacrificing your life. Common people, who knows so many common people? This and this Your Majesty, the imperial court will come and go in exchange for that little salary a month, why are you selling your life?"
Chu Qing looked at the slowly rising sun and nodded slightly.
Wen Ya's face changed slightly: "Dudu, maybe he thinks this is a bit..."
"No, originally I thought of just catching him, but now I think of killing him a hundred times."
Chu Qing didn't say whether he recognized Di Qinhu's words or not, he didn't even bother to think about it.
He only knows that you are the commander-in-chief of the navy, and the lives of thousands of people are tied to you. If you want to be alone, you can do it. If you want to live a happy and prosperous life, you can also. The problem is that you don't want to be the commander-in-chief of the navy. You If you don't take on this important position, no one will care about you even if you go outside the earth. It is precisely because the people trust you, the court trusts you, and puts the future and lives of countless people in your hands that you can become the commander-in-chief of this boat division. As a result, you ended up using these as your bargaining chips and trump cards? !
No matter how capable a general like this is, there is no need to keep him, because he does not regard himself as a commander guarding the border, but as a warlord, and he is still the kind of person who will clean up the war as soon as it starts. Xinruan is a warlord who went to another country to join!
Turning back, Chu Qing looked at Cuiyu at the helm: "Revise the logbook. The name of the operation has been changed. It's not called persuasion anymore."
Regarding Chu Qing's meaningless actions, Cuiyu was not interested: "Change it to what?"
"Kill the handsome man!"
Wen Ya's eyes shined.
It’s so straightforward, I love it!
There was already some anger brewing in Chu Qing's eyes.
Why do people in high positions seek their escape overseas, and they say that the country is not worth your life? I have never thought about it. It is precisely because there are too many people like you that this country and the dynasty are not worthy of your life. Will it become "not worth it"?
