Chapter 189: The unexpected collective allegiance of Spanish officers!
At this moment, the smile on He Lin's face finally dispelled the clouds just now. "The two generals took action, He has a lot of chance of winning."
"It is our duty to serve the court. How can a mere Nan'an barbarians be the opponent of my Celestial King's Army?" Wang Shouli seemed to have a little more confidence after seeing Liang Pengfei's eyes. Since Liang Pengfei felt that it was okay, it should be less problematic. At least, Liang Pengfei was the one who could get rid of Zheng Lianchang's nest and escape unstoppable. With such a ruthless person by his side, his life safety can always be guaranteed.
"I said Brother Liang, we have a great fortune this time, but I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck this time. Damn, help Ruan Wenyue guard for a month... Who knows if the birds of the Fujian Navy can arrive in time in one month?" Sitting in Wang Shouli's tent, Wang Shouli took a mouthful of herbal tea and spat angrily.
"Brother, don't worry. Since this matter is over our heads, it's not okay to not take it. Otherwise, a charge of being afraid of the enemy in the face of battle can kill us both directly." Liang Pengfei gestured a neck-cutting action. In Wang Shouli's tent, the two of them didn't have so much concern. "However, this is indeed an opportunity. Brother Wang, how great a merit is this. If we can defend for a month, it will be the first merit. Not to mention anything else, it's no problem to get a title."
After hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Wang Shouli couldn't help but feel moved. He was a Han army bannerman, but his ancestors didn't have much military achievements, so he could only be a soldier in his generation. If he hadn't been lucky enough to choose Fukang'an's personal soldiers, he wouldn't have had a good life today. I didn't dare to think about the title before, but now, when he became the general, he heard Liang Pengfei's attraction, his heart was indeed moved.
"But, just our troops, you think you can really withstand the Nanruan Navy led by Zheng Lianchang." Wang Shouli wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, but he knew that his life was more important.
Liang Pengfei rubbed his eyebrows. His source of confidence was naturally the strength of the old Liang family, but these must not be moved to the table. "On our town alone, if it was only a month, there should be no big problem. Brother, have you forgotten that Jinlan Bay is still in the hands of Ruan Wenyue. We are in Suihe, which is equivalent to the rear. Although Jinlan City is attacked from both sides, the reinforcements and supplies from Suihe to Jinlan have not been cut off. Maybe a month later, we are all idle and fade out of the birds. Then Nanruan has no time to come to Suihe to stroll around the sea."
Wang Shouli nodded, Liang Pengfei's reason was reasonable. Although Ruan Wenyue's situation seems dangerous and precarious, it also made Ruan Wenyue shrink his troops to one piece, which can form an effective defense. The route of dispatching reinforcements between the soldiers and generals between the various places has also been shortened a lot. Under this situation, Ruan Wenyue got the promise of the Qing Dynasty. With the rebellion, it was really difficult for Nan Ruan to deal with him.
"Well, fame depends on life to earn money, isn't it just to stay in Suihe for a month?" Wang Shouli patted his thighs, with a ruthless look on his face.
"Brother, we can take this opportunity to make more demands to increase our chances of saving our lives, such as our warships, artillery, weapons, etc...." Liang Pengfei's bad eyes were full of shrewdness and calculations.
When Wang Shouli heard Liang Pengfei's whisper, he was stunned at first, and then raised his thumbs up at Liang Pengfei. "Gao, my brother's move is right. My Humen town is deep behind the enemy and is attacked from both sides. If there is no complete armament and firearms, how can I defend for more than a month?"
Wang Shouli did not ask Liang Pengfei to go with him, but went to find Helin alone. Liang Pengfei directly returned to the naval station in Xin'anying and Nantouying, and held a very special meeting in his flagship cabin. That night, several inconspicuous boats quietly left the naval station and quietly headed towards the east and south.
The sky was dark and the sun's light was completely covered by the thick and rolling dark clouds. The wild wind was roaring, making the sails bulge. "Ah, the sea, the howling wind, wild and so passionate, it passed through the sky and bulged the sails, like the towering bust in the thin shirt, ah..." Liang Pengfei, who was dissatisfied with desire, almost caused the sperm to spread his arms and said so much in a fantasy manner in the wind.
Fernando, who had just landed on Liang Pengfei's flagship, suddenly stared into a polygonal eye, and his mouth was slanted, and he didn't even notice the Bible that had been holding in his palm slipped out of his hand. His expression reminded people of the disabled and strong-willed cerebral palsy patient.
The Lieutenant Colonel Juan staggered directly and hit the mast next to him, covering his head in pain. Not far behind, Shusheng Bai and Monk Chen laughed so hard that they fell. The young master was so talented that he could even write a yellow poem with a very Western style when he saw a typhoon.
"How about it, this is a new sonnet poem that I just surging in poetry. Does Schiller have the radical revolutionary spirit of the early years of the thrilling progress?" After Liang Pengfei finished his poems, or someone who was so bored that he was whining without any illness, he turned his head and asked for his opinion at the Spanish missionary who had just arrived at Liang Pengfei from King Crab Island.
After hearing such shameless questions, Fernando's eyes almost fell to the ground. After a long time, it seemed that he could think that the air could breathe, but that people could be so shameless. "This, this... Dear General, I have not studied much about poetry, so I am really not easy to comment. I apologize very much. Perhaps, you can ask the one beside me, dear Lieutenant Colonel Juan."
"No, no, dear monk, I have no hobby or interest in poetry. As a soldier, I have devoted all my body and mind to making achievements." Lieutenant Colonel Juan's face was a little pale, and there was a faint white foam on his lips. I don't know if he was full of vomiting after hearing Liang Pengfei's sonnets, but he still resisted the idea of trying to pick up a sword and fight Liang Pengfei, an Eastern scum who actually tampered with the beautiful Western sonnets into yellow poems.
He also wanted to return to his distant and longing hometown, but he didn't want his future and life to be ruined by this sinister, vicious and cunning Oriental man.
"It's really a pity. I thought I had met two soulmates." Liang Pengfei shook his head helplessly and signaled that the two of them would follow him into the cabin.
"Mr. Fernando told us what you mean, which made me and my companions very happy. However, for some questions, my companions and I felt it was necessary to discuss with you directly, so I will meet you on behalf of my companions." Sitting in the cabin, the bright candlelight seemed to add a hint of warmth in the cabin. Lieutenant Colonel Juan looked at Liang Pengfei, who was talking on the cigar in front of him and explained his purpose.
Liang Pengfei nodded and signaled the representative to continue his speech. He was curious. Do these greedy Westerners think that the price they offered was not enough? If that were the case, Liang Pengfei would think that he was too polite to these guys before.
"Your Excellency General, you know that we are your prisoners of war. Although this feeling is not good, we admit that your tactical qualities and your subordinates have allowed us to re-recognize the East. And I, and my twenty-three colleagues, hope to stay on King Crab Island, be able to play under famous generals like you, and perhaps better play to our expertise."
Liang Pengfei heard this and didn't react for a long time. He directly stabbed himself by the monk Chen behind him. Liang Pengfei then reported it: "Lieutenant Colonel Juan, I don't like someone to joke with me when talking about serious matters."
"I am definitely not joking with you. General, your personality charm and strength have conquered us. We believe that being able to serve under your command is our greatest honor." Lieutenant Colonel Juan took off his military cap with some anxiety and expressed their humility to Liang Pengfei.
"Personal Charm." Liang Pengfei's teeth almost laughed. There is no doubt that he has male charm, but it is completely nonsense to say that he has personal charm. If he is really personal charm, why didn't these Spanish officers cry and shout at the lord while holding their thighs and shouting at their lords?
Lieutenant Colonel Juan considered himself not a good lobbyist. Seeing Liang Pengfei's strange expression and expression made him feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, there was a Spanish compatriot next to him. He decided to do something. At least, he had decided to sell his soul to the oriental man in front of him, and he had to work hard to fulfill his obligations.
"This, I think I need to explain it to you..." After Fernando came to Liang Pengfei's ear and whispered, Liang Pengfei finally understood what was going on.
The reason is very simple. Even if they have become prisoners of war, even if they are released by Liang Pengfei and returned to Spain, what awaits them will be the trial of the Spanish military court. Even if they can escape this fate, the passionate Spanish people, while admiring heroes, also despises the losers extremely. The shame of becoming prisoners of war will make them lose their position in the army, and even their reputation will plummet.
The responsibility for defeat must be borne by people. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, soldiers' behavior is subject to officers. The victory and failure of a battle have a lot to do with the command ability of the officers. On the contrary, those ordinary soldiers will not have any problems.
In the past six months on King Crab Island, Liang Pengfei's friendliness and generosity have made these people find that they have another way to go, that is, to stay in the rich East and continue to work hard for Liang Pengfei. Since they cannot get honors, the generous salary is enough to allow them to live a rich life.
