Chapter 95: Afterglow of the Empire (6)

When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine are too few.

Lu Li had a friendship with Yi Sun-shin. Although he later "poached" and brought a group of key actors away, he also made up for it accordingly.

In addition, the actor's crazy performance at that time also made Yi Sun-shin wary. Lu Li's move was undoubtedly to help him out.

Coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty navy tried its best to come to support, this friendship cannot be ignored.

After drinking, something happened again!

After they cooperated to fight the Myeongryang Sea Battle, Yi Sun-shin began to recruit brave men on a large scale. The family records of these sailors also joined the army and were stationed near Gogeum Island, forming small villages.

The soldiers in the Liangguang water camp under Chen Li were all very drunk, and some had no clues at all. They wandered around blindly. When they saw a village near the military camp, they broke in in groups.

Harassing the people, raping and plundering.

There were even dozens of killings.

To be honest, the discipline of this group of guys is even worse than that of the Liaodong Army.

Yi Sunchen, who was originally in high spirits and was holding Lu Li's shoulder to talk, turned around and ordered his subordinates to dismantle the tents and prepare to board the ship and leave Gujin Island.

Chen Li didn't drink too much, and he was a military commander who had cultivated a fighting spirit. When he saw Yi Sun-shin leaving, he immediately reacted and apologized with a smile.

Obviously, what Li Chao Wenwu was worried about happened in Seoul, and it happened so suddenly.

Looking at Chen Li, who was laughing and joking but looking carelessly, Yi Sunchen said coldly: "We were expecting the Tomorrow Army to come to help in the battle. As a result, your men committed rape and looting everywhere, scaring away the people who had finally gathered together.

"

"As their most trusted general, I have no shame in staying here."

These words were really confusing. Not only did Chen Li feel ashamed, but Lu Li also felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

As soon as the journey turned from land to sea, his subordinates caused two vicious incidents in succession!

Once when I was full of food and drinks, I got excited and went for a walk. I ended up discovering that the general was abusing local officials in front of the king of Li Dynasty and even the important civil and military officials!

This time I met Yi Sun-shin, who I had a relationship with before, and he lined up to welcome me and prepared all kinds of sumptuous food and drinks. How about that?

After all, Chen Li was a famous general of the generation who could distinguish priorities. He also knew that Lu Li was angry, so he did not dare to dislike Yi Sunchen's captain and kicked him away. Instead, he suppressed his smile and solemnly apologized to him.

Without waiting for Li Shunchen to respond, Lu Li, the commander-in-chief, said, "Let's engage in military law."

"All soldiers involved in this matter, regardless of their official rank or previous merits, will be beheaded and displayed to the public, and their heads will be hung at the entrance of the village."

Many of the soldiers who gathered around were old soldiers that Lu Li brought back from Nanyuan——

After the First World War in Seoul, he had been training and was led by Chief Qian Qin Chuan. Now that he can be put to use, he naturally followed.

After the Liaodong Army heard the words "engaged in military law", they immediately clamored that they would be the executioners responsible for executions to share the worries of the commander-in-chief.

But Lu Li had other plans.

"Master Chen, there is no governor in your army who enforces military discipline?"

Seoul took a trick last time and successfully favored its subordinates, but now it can no longer keep it.

After sighing secretly in his heart, Chen Li replied bravely: "The commander-in-chief is joking, you are the master."

After finishing his words, he suddenly raised his voice:

"Come here! Why don't you hook up these lawless bastards and punish them on the spot!"

After all, they are just a bunch of soldiers who drank too much and don't know their last names. Just kill them.

This time he came to the peninsula mainly to gain military exploits so that he could be promoted and make a fortune when he returned home. For this reason, he even brought his son with him.

On the side, Deng Zilong, Li Tianchang and other generals felt at ease. They also knew who was under their jurisdiction and what the court's intention was with this arrangement.

In other words, the generals were not afraid of General Lu being too tough, but they were afraid of indulging Chen Li.

In fact, although the Ming Dynasty could not hide its decline, military discipline had not yet collapsed. Just like when they attacked Daoshan, the generals saw Yang Hao committing a crime, but they only tried to persuade him and never dared to act beyond his authority.

Therefore, whether it was because he calmed down to assess the situation or for some other reason, Chen Li did not bear any grudge against Lu Li. Instead, he was worried about the commander-in-chief who was in the emperor's heart and gave him eye drops.

You know, he and the Guangdong and Guangxi Water Camps he led had a hard time winning this opportunity. If they missed it, there would be no way to make up for it!

Because of this, Chen Li had already begun to think about what he should offer to him so that General Lu would no longer mind these things.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his team is very capable of causing trouble.

"General Li, are you satisfied with this matter?"

Looking at the heads flying up one after another, Lu Li asked, and added: "The commanders of these soldiers are also unavoidable, but now is the time to employ people, so their lives are temporarily stored with me."

Obviously, this is a scene.

However, when Yi Sun-shin looked at the drunken and frightened faces on the ground, he lost his anger and bowed his hands in compliments.

"The Commander-in-Chief is very aware of everything and is impartial and selfless. He will obey you when you are a subordinate."

Immediately afterwards, he struck the railroad while it was still hot:

"Now that the two armies are united, it is best to manage them uniformly. All the fleets under the command of the official will be placed under your command. As for matters such as military discipline, let me take care of them for you."

The power of command is replaced by the power of supervising the army?

Lu Li thought about it for a while and then agreed.

This was undoubtedly Yi Sun-shin's concession, a good intention that should not be let down.

Of course, give him a sweet date with a slap in the face.

The Li Dynasty fleet was placed under the command of Chen Li by Lu Li as a gesture of goodwill.

Seeing that the General Soldier still valued him, Chen Li, who was a little worried at first, let out a long sigh of relief and kept complimenting him, almost claiming in front of everyone that he was General Lu's lackey.

No matter what he thinks, as long as he fights the Japanese pirates, Lu Li will not stay in this world for a long time, so there is no conflict of interest for everyone.

How much credit Chen Li can get, he will never deliberately hide it and withhold it to share the profits with others;

When its offensive makes significant progress, it will not deliberately hold back and let it fail. Instead, it will give orders for the other departments to fully cooperate.

In this way, the two fleets completed their meeting on Gujin Island and established many matters for joint operations.

In the next ten days, Yi Sun-shin changed the stage and began to show his harsh military management methods——

After obtaining the power from Lu Li and having Chen Li's guarantee, he naturally had the confidence to use thunderous methods.

After dealing with dozens of incidents that disturbed the people, and hanging more than a dozen heads high in the military camp, everyone in the Ming army knew how powerful General Li Chao was, and his military discipline was much better than when he entered the court.

Gradually, all soldiers and even lower-level generals realized that there was no shame in dying in a duel with Japanese pirates, and their relatives could still receive pensions from the court.

But if you die in violation of military discipline, you will have nothing, and you will be scorned.

"Sir, the military spirit is available."
