Chapter 821
[]/!
"What?" Ge Ming looked at the letter sent by Xin Yuan in his hand, and his already big eyes seemed to pop out of his sockets at this moment.
"Is this news reliable?" Ge Ming still didn't believe it and stared at the master who sent the letter.
The master had no choice but to take the letter kite over and said, "Sir, look, isn't this the letter kite we raised?"
Ge Ming looked at the familiar Xin Yuan and felt that his brain was boiling.
"How could it be? How could this happen!" As if he couldn't bear it, he couldn't help but take a step back. If the master hadn't pulled him in time, he might have fallen down like this.
"Sir, what should we do? We haven't caught those people yet... but the inland is our base camp! Now that something has happened, it may be too late to rush back. If we don't go back, then, then..."
Master didn't say anything about that, but Ge Ming was not stupid, so how could he not imagine the consequences of this matter.
The base camp has been dug up, not to mention other things, even the emperor has no way to explain it! As soon as this incident comes out, his position as admiral is over!
But why did something like this happen? Didn't he already make arrangements? What do those people do for food? Can anyone take advantage of such a loophole?
"Sir, let's, why don't we go back now! It's still too late to save the situation, and the loss won't be too great!" the master advised.
"But here..." Ge Ming looked at the soldiers who had begun to land and couldn't help but hesitate.
The master had no choice but to say again: "Sir, Ogawa Island is here. There are only a thousand people here, so it won't cause any trouble! When we resolve the matters in the camp, we will go back to deal with them, and it will be the same.
It's within reach! Sir, the foundation cannot be broken!"
"But we are about to capture them now..."
"Sir, they can't escape. If they don't go back, they will lose more than they gain!" Master said earnestly.
Ge Ming couldn't decide for a while, he was angry and worried, and his face wrinkled up.
"I, I'm going to ask Mr. Shen..."
"Sir!" Master hurriedly stopped him, "If you ask Master Shen now, it will be like cutting off the way back! Master Shen will definitely not ask anyone to go back!"
"Can……"
"My lord, there is no time to delay any more! If something happens to the military camp, it will not just be the military camp, but it will most likely affect the entire Zhanzhou! Sir, think about it, if the emperor blames you then, it will only be a dispensable thing.
Are you more angry if Xiaochuandao is in trouble, or are you more angry if Zhanzhou is in chaos?"
What the master said was reasonable and well-founded, and Ge Ming's heart was shaken again.
The master continued: "Besides, sir, Master Shen is sent by the imperial court and will have to return to Beijing sooner or later. If something happens here, you will be the one to bear the responsibility in the end! Why don't we let the sailors come up now, and then let the supervisor
Just turn the ship around. When we go back, I believe there is still room for recovery and it won’t be too bad!”
Ge Ming pursed his lips and said after a moment: "Then, then..."
"Then what?" An indifferent voice suddenly came from behind, startling Ge Ming and his master.
"Mr. Shen, why can't you walk without making a sound? If you have a bad heart, you will scare me to death!" Ge Ming complained, covering his heart.
Shen Anhe ignored him and just asked: "Then what? Did I hear wrongly? Master Ge wants to go back?"
Ge Ming frowned, knowing that Shen Anhe had heard this and had to tell what happened.
Shen Anhe reached out for the letter. After reading it carefully, his eyes glanced at Ge Ming and the master again. After a moment, he said: "If you don't reply, I will return after taking Xiaochuan Island."
"Can……"
"Don't worry, if something happens, I'll take care of it for you!"
Ge Ming was worried. If something happened, it would not be a question of whether he should bear it or not. If it were to be fatal, everyone would want to live.
The master tugged at Ge Ming's clothes from behind, reminding him of the questions that had just gone through his mind.
In his heart, Ge Ming was already leaning towards his previous decision. After all, Shen Anhe could just pat his ass and leave at any time, but he couldn't.
"Master Shen, Zhanzhou is in a critical situation right now. We can deal with these children after their death has been sorted out, and then we can deal with them later! Don't worry, these people can't escape! Moreover, those people have been rescued, and we have no constraints anymore. , there is no other place to stay here, they can’t escape!”
Ge Ming felt that he had made it very clear, and he was the commander of today's battle and the admiral of the navy. Shen An and a civil servant certainly could not make decisions. Moreover, he also observed that Shen An and was not the kind of person who would be casual. An official who interferes in other people's affairs.
However, to Ge Ming's expectation, Shen Anhe's attitude was very tough this time.
"Now is the critical moment. As long as the soldiers come ashore and cooperate with the soldiers who have sneaked in before, I believe we can capture Xiaochuan Island soon! If we withdraw now, we will not only lose Xiaochuan Island, but also encourage these people's arrogance. When we are afraid of them!" Shen Anhe looked at Ge Ming with a gloomy look, "Master Ge, don't forget, there are people from other countries among these people, do you really think they are simple pirates?"
Ge Ming opened his mouth to refute, but he thought of the news that had come from the island before and knew that what Shen Anhe said was the truth.
These flimsy countries actually wanted to use the name of pirates as a test, and they really took the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage!
However, he can't really ignore the chaos at the rear, right?
"Sir, Chief Assistant," the Master said at the right time, "They are obviously cooperating inside and outside, and their main purpose is to destroy Zhanzhou! Zhanzhou is the key, Xiaochuandao is not in a hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Anhe's eyes locked on him.
He suddenly asked without any reason: "Who is the person in charge of guarding the kite on the ship?"
"Ah?" The master was stunned, obviously not expecting Shen Anhe to ask this question, "Yes, it's a boss named Liu."
Shen Anhe said: "Call him over."
After hearing this, the master subconsciously looked at Ge Ming, as if seeking Ge Ming's opinion, but the embarrassed expression reminded Ge Ming that the most important thing at the moment was not about Xin Yuan, but to go back as soon as possible!
Ge Ming also felt that Shen Anhe's question was a bit out of focus, so he said: "Master Shen, the letter sent by the letter kite will definitely be correct, and this letter kite will not send letters easily, and will only be released if it is urgent. Shen Sir, I believe you can understand the priorities of things, so let’s not worry about them anymore, let’s think about how to deal with the epidemic when we return!”
With that said, Ge Ming wanted to directly order the withdrawal of troops.
However, Shen Anhe stopped him directly and said: "Master Ge, I know that the whole navy obeys your orders, but that's why you have to think about things more clearly! The reason why I stopped you is because I I believe that with the princess here, she will not just watch the situation develop out of control. And if something happens, the princess will definitely send me a message as soon as possible. Shen is indeed not good at fighting, but Mr. Ge, the princess’s military merit is There, if you don’t believe Shen, you should also believe the princess!”
"This, I..."
