Chapter 743 Important people board the ship
The New Army marched into the city one after another and took over the government treasury, city defenses, naval port and docks, etc. In short, all key departments or strongholds in Hailing are now in the hands of the task force.
Navy Vice Admiral Yu Dapeng, who was originally ordered to garrison, ordered all naval officers and soldiers to board the ship and stick to their posts, repair the ship, inspect the artillery, sails, etc., and not leave the ship without permission except under ordinary circumstances.
But there are some people with a keen sense of smell, or veteran officials, who always feel that this matter is strange, and they have captured something keenly, which makes them very scared when they think about it carefully.
After a period of panic, someone was preparing to send someone out of the town to deliver a message to Master Nazan who was far away in the county. However, less than ten minutes after leaving, the messenger was escorted back by the patrol team of the task force.
Seeing the vicious eyes and undisguised murderous intent of the other party, the legs of those busybodies were so frightened that they almost peed their crotches.
…
It's night at Pier 1 in the deep water area of Hailing Navy Port.
Changping flagship.
Navy Vice Admiral Yu Dapeng is meeting with an extremely important person.
He had been notified in advance and had been staying in his flagship command cabin, silently waiting for the upcoming big shots from the Zhejiang Army.
He estimated that most of the people coming were Lieutenant General Li Xinghong of the Second Division of the Zhejiang New Army, or Major General and Chief of Staff Ji Chunsheng.
These two people are the second and third figures in the Second Division, Chen Tianhua's deputy and think tank. Only by coming over with such figures can they completely convince him or show their respect for him as the commander of the navy.
Seeing that the Zhejiang Army task force had taken control of Hailing so quickly, Yu Dapeng just cooperated with the secret order and ordered all naval forces to evacuate the land. He knew that Nazan was really at the end of its rope.
Yu Dapeng, who was foresighted, strictly ordered all naval officers and soldiers not to set foot on land and to practice on the ship and be on standby. Otherwise, military law would be imposed.
When this mysterious big man came, Yu Dapeng did not expect that the person who came was actually Chen Tianhua himself, which showed that he valued the navy and respected himself.
When he saw Chen Tianhua striding aboard the Changping, surrounded by Fei Ge, Yu Yang escort, Xu Yunyuan and task force leader Gu Zhunian, Yu Dapeng could hardly believe his eyes.
General, he actually came here in person.
Yu Dapeng stood up excitedly, first rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he had read correctly, he couldn't help but feel excited. He took a step forward, cupped his fists with both hands, knelt down on one knee and performed the old Qing army's kneeling ceremony, "General Yu Dapeng,
Meet my lord, General!"
As soon as his knees touched the ground, he felt that they were grabbed by two strong hands, and when he was lifted upwards, an inner force forcefully lifted his entire body up.
Such powerful internal strength!
This shocked Yu Dapeng, who insisted on practicing martial arts, and sighed to himself.
"General Yu, we were here in a hurry last time. Due to many restrictions, we didn't have a detailed discussion. Today we two can talk freely, and no one will bother us anymore, hahaha..." Chen Tianhua said with a hearty laugh.
"Thank you for your great love, the general. I'm so ashamed of myself!" Yu Dapeng cupped his fists and saluted.
Fei Ge put his head out of the cabin and said hello, then several guards filed in carrying several food boxes and took out various dishes and put them on the table.
Chen Tianhua held Yu Dapeng's hand and said with a smile:
"A few years ago, I had heard General Yu's name for a long time. At that time, there was no such opportunity, and we were not allowed to meet. The last time I inspected in the name of the Imperial Envoy, I also left in a hurry, but it left a deep impression on me, and I wish I could come back.
Sleep with enough feet,
After a long talk all night long, the governor came here from Changxing Port tonight so that he could have a drink and chat with General Yu to relieve the pain of lovesickness!" Chen Tianhua said very politely and respectfully, with a cheerful look on his face.
Show his sincerity.
At this moment, Yu Dapeng only felt that his throat was getting tighter, and his eyes were a little blurry. This man from the imperial court was a first-grade military attaché and a second-grade civil servant. He succeeded at a young age and controlled many minerals, steel, railways and other lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, including the Meiguang Autonomous Region.
Territory, personal assets are as rich as the enemy's.
Originally, such a behemoth would usually be lofty and arrogant, but the person in front of him was so easy-going and easy-going. He was like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He showed deep respect for him after just a few words.
, but it doesn’t seem deliberately artificial.
Comparing the various grievances he had suffered at the hands of Nazan over the years, Yu Dapeng instantly felt that the decision he had made not long ago was too right.
A scholar who dies for a confidant will have no regrets or regrets!
"The general is deeply impressed by the deep affection of the general. I am willing to use all I have learned in my life to serve in front of the general's saddle until I die!" Yu Dapeng said slowly, word by word, which was a sign of loyalty.
"Okay... I have General Yu. You and I are partners. From now on, in the vast ocean, who can be our opponent?!"
Chen Tianhua laughed loudly and pulled Yu Dapeng up, walked to the table where the food and wine were set, and said loudly:
"Come on, come on... General Yu, you and I will have three drinks first to congratulate us in advance on the new era of oceans that we are about to open up!"
The guards had already lined up six wine glasses, and filled them with the fragrant old wine Ner Hong. The two of them picked up a glass, touched it gently and drank it up. Each of them drank three glasses in a row.
"Happy!" Chen Tianhua waved his hands and shouted, "Please sit down, General Yu!"
"General, please go first!"
Chen Tianhua smiled and no longer refused, which was what he meant. He went ahead and sat down at the top.
Yu Dapeng saluted Xu Yunyuan and Gu Zhunian again: "Two adults, please take a seat!"
Xu Yunyuan didn't show off. She smiled and sat down under Chen Tianhua to accompany her. However, Gu Zhunian did not sit down. He stood at attention and saluted Chen Tianhua:
"Reporting to the General, I am currently performing military duties and cannot accompany you for drinking. I have to rush back to the camp to arrange related matters. Please allow me to resign first."
Chen Tianhua only glanced at him, nodded and said, "Well, official duties cannot be ignored, so you should do your duty."
Seeing the general's permission, Gu Zhunian bowed to Xu Yunyuan and Yu Dapeng respectively, and then withdrew.
Seeing this scene, Yu Dapeng couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the Zhejiang army is so elite. There is a reason for this.
Generally in the military, it is a great honor to be able to drink with someone of the rank of general, and it is also a good opportunity to get close or express oneself, not to mention being personally invited by the lord.
But this young senior officer refused without even thinking, which shows that Chen Tianhua is quite strict in running the army.
At this time, the guards were standing guard at the door or outside the windows, far away from the dining table and with a sound barrier. They must avoid such important meetings. This is an iron rule.
