Chapter 727 Showdown

Xu Yunyuan was not affected by this unfriendly atmosphere. She walked to the dining table with a smile, glanced at the food on the table, and sighed:

"I never expected that the dignified Vice Admiral of the Chongming Navy, with only one maid and one maid at home, would actually let his wife cook, and the food is so simple. General Yu is so diligent and thrifty, he should be a role model for us!"

Yu Dapeng's dark face turned slightly red with embarrassment due to such sinister words, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Did he do this on purpose?

Of course not!

Who doesn’t want his wife and son to live comfortably? He is a dignified military attache of the third rank, and his salary from the court is only that small. He does not deduct the military salary of the sergeants, and sometimes has to supplement his soldiers who have financial difficulties. If he does not plan his life carefully, he will be

I can't survive anymore.

Looking at Mrs. Jing Quan's sarong, I feel even more ashamed.

"Since the head of Xuehu is here, he must have something to talk to Yu about, so let's go to the study to talk about it!"

Yu Dapeng didn't want to argue about these matters in the restaurant, in front of his family's son, as if he was threatening his family, so he might as well meet and talk.

"That's great!" Xu Yunyuan said with a smile.

She motioned to the guard behind her, Song Yu, and placed several valuable gift boxes in his hands on the dining table, saying:

"Mrs. Yu, a little thought is disrespectful. Please accept it, madam!"

The woman had already turned pale with fright when she saw a stunningly beautiful woman burst into the mansion and talking to her husband in a cryptic tone that was incomprehensible to everyone.

But one thing the woman felt was that this woman was not a good person, but a beautiful and poisonous snake.

She looked at her husband Yu Dapeng with great worry and did not dare to say anything or make any statement.

Seeing this, Yu Dapeng had no choice but to bow his hands to Xu Yunyuan and said: "Thank you very much! Master Xuehu, please come!"

Xu Yunyuan nodded slightly and walked out the door, with Tang Hua and Song Yu following closely behind.

Yu Dapeng comforted mother and son in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's okay. You two can continue to eat. I'll go to the study to talk with the guests."

After saying that, he walked out and personally led the way into a study not far away.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Yu Dapeng calmed down and looked at the legendary female devil carefully, wondering what kind of trouble she would have with him?

I am just the deputy general of the Chongming Navy, with a position but no power. How can I be favored by their newly established autonomous region government?

"General Yu, Xuehu will not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!" Xu Yunyuan was no longer polite, "I am here to meet with General Yu on the orders of General Chen Tianhua, the first-grade military attaché of the Zhejiang New Army.

Let’s discuss everything.”

According to the order jointly issued by the imperial government's Yamen and the Ministry of War, Yu Dapeng only saw it the day before yesterday that Chen Tianhua was actually promoted to the commander-in-chief of the second town of the Zhejiang New Army and a general. He was the first-rank military attache in the Qing Dynasty. How distinguished he was.

Although he was surprised, he couldn't help but feel envious. He was both an official and a businessman, and he also had military power in his hands. With this official and businessman plus military power, he was simply a behemoth, invincible in the world.

Song Yu stood faithfully behind Xu Yunyuan, with a high degree of concentration. His eyes had already scanned the study room and found nothing unusual.

This mansion is a courtyard. The study room is not very big and has simple facilities. There are no partitions or secret doors. The bookcases and bookshelves stand against the wall, giving a clear view.

Tang Hua had already acted as a servant at this time, busy making tea for Yu Dapeng and Xu Yunyuan.

After Xu Yunyuan said this, she politely picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, her brows furrowed slightly.

This tea is actually still old, and it tastes very bitter in your mouth.

"Governor-General Chen is a person that Yu admires very much. I am just a deputy general of the Chongming Navy. I have no authority and I have no authority. Do you have anything to do with me, Governor-General?" Yu Dapeng said very appropriately. After a while of compliments, he became confused.

Xu Yunyuan smiled slightly and said bluntly:

"The General admires General Yu very much and wants to recruit you to serve in the Second Town of the Zhejiang New Army. I wonder what the General wants?"

She has seen that Yu Dapeng is the kind of person with a straightforward temper, so she does not hide it at all. Moreover, she has already prepared a back-up plan, and she is not afraid that Yu Dapeng will fall out or refuse to agree.

"What?" Yu Dapeng almost thought he heard wrongly, "Head of Snow Fox, what did you just say?"

"The general wants General Yu to serve the Zhejiang New Army!" Xu Yunyuan said word by word:

"General Yu, we have learned about your resume, which is very brilliant. However, you are in such a predicament on Chongming Island. Such a great talent has been buried. As a deputy general of the navy, you can only command a mere battalion of the navy. The general feels deeply sorry for you.

We are dissatisfied and want to recruit generals to serve under the Zhejiang New Army."

"The general is very wealthy and now controls more than 10,000 people in the Second Town of the Zhejiang New Army. He also has a Yangtze River escort fleet under his command. The ships such as the Blood Wolf and Wild Wolf alone are stronger than any warship in the Chongming Navy.

, but the Fengzhong fleet currently needs a leader, and the admiral thinks you are more suitable."

The olive branch extended by Xu Yunyuan was attractive enough. He was the commander of the Fengzhong fleet, that is, the fleet commander. This was Yu Dapeng's dream.

Make sure that the other party is not joking, let alone making such a joke, there is no need to come here in winter, and it is still a turbulent period of war, which is very risky.

Yu Dapeng gradually turned his attention to his confidant Tang Hua, and his expression suddenly became stern.

Obviously, Tang Hua had been surrendered by the other party first, and he must have surrendered to Chen Tianhua, otherwise Xu Yunyuan would not have been brought over by him and entered the Yu Mansion.

"Head of Snow Fox, Yu is grateful for General Chen's promotion, but Yu is a third-grade military attache of the imperial court. Everything is assigned by the Prime Minister's Yamen, the Navy Department, or the Military Aircraft Department. Yu is a soldier and should obey orders.

As a vocation, as long as the imperial court orders Yu to serve in the Zhejiang Navy, Yu will spare no effort and dedicate himself to it."

What he said was a high-sounding official tone. He only recognized the military orders of the Navy Department or the Military Aircraft Department before deciding who to obey. But in the end, he only obeyed the orders of the Qing Dynasty.

If this is the case, there is no need for Xu Yunyuan to visit quietly at night, and to act as a lobbyist with sincerity, just encourage the Military Aircraft Department or the Navy Ministry to issue an order.

It seems that this Yu Dapeng has really not turned a corner yet. He needs to hammer deeper. I understand.

Xu Yunyuan sipped the bitter tea and said with a smile:

"General Yu may not have understood the profound meaning of the General. Let's show it tonight and tell the truth. Someone in Shangfeng wants to remove Na Zan, the admiral of the Chongming Navy, and put it under the control of the General to form the East China Sea Fleet.

, and the future commander of the East China Sea Fleet will be you, Yu Dapeng."

"But Nazan's backer in the court is Prince Chun Zaifeng. Normal means will definitely not remove Nazan. And he has been lining his own pockets by selling private salt for a long time. How can he leave Chongming on his own? This requires us to use some means.

, forcing him to leave."

What she said was to open the window and speak out. Her goals and objectives were very clear. She used extraordinary means to overthrow Nazan. Of course, this process required Yu Dapeng's participation, so she asked him to make a decision in advance.
