Chapter 189 The unexpected collective loyalty of Spanish officers!
At this moment, the smile on He Lin's face finally dispelled the clouds just now. The two generals come out, and there are many odds of winning with someone.
"It's my duty to serve the court. It's just a barbarian in Nan'an. How can I be the opponent of the king of the heavenly dynasty?" After seeing Liang Pengfei's eyes, Wang Shouli seemed to have a little more confidence. Since Liang Pengfei felt that there was no problem, it should not be a problem. At least, Liang Pengfei was the master who cleaned up Zheng Lianchang's nest and could retreat completely. With such a cruel person by his side, his life safety can always be guaranteed.
"I said, Brother Liang, we had a big luck this time. I just don't know whether it was good luck or bad luck this time. Damn it, help Ruan Wenyue stay for a month... Who knows if the bird people of Fujian sailors can arrive in time in a month? Sitting in Wang Shouli's tent, Wang Shouli poured a sip of herbal tea and spit angrily.
"Brother, don't worry. Anyway, since this matter has spread to us, we can't do it. Otherwise, a crime of being afraid of the enemy can kill us directly." Liang Pengfei made a move to cut his neck. In Wang Shouli's camp, the two of them didn't have so many scruples. However, this is indeed an opportunity, Brother Wang, how much merit it is to pacve a country? If we can keep it for a month, it will be the first achievement. Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid it's no problem to get a title.
Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Wang Shouli couldn't help but be moved. He was a flagman of the Han army, but his ancestors did not have much military achievements, so he could only be a small soldier in his generation. If he hadn't been lucky enough to choose Fu Kang'an's own soldiers, there would have been no good words today. For Feng Jue, it was something he didn't dare to think of before, but now, the official to the general has heard Liang Pengfei's ** again, and his heart is really moved.
"However, with our town of soldiers and horses, do you think we can really withstand the Nan Ruan Shuishi led by Zheng Lianchang?" Wang Shouli wanted to get promoted and get rich, but he knew that his surname was more important.
Liang Pengfei rubbed his eyebrows. Naturally, the source of his confidence is the strength of the old Liang family, but these must not be moved to the table. In our town alone, if it is only one 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 now under the enemy, the reinforcements and supplies from Suihe to Jinlan have not been cut off. Maybe, A month later, we were all idle, so Nan Ruan didn't have time to go shopping with the sea.
--------------------
Wang Shouli nodded, and Liang Pengfei's reason is also reasonable. Although the current situation of Ruan Wenyue seems to be dangerous, it has also made Ruan Wenyue shrink his troops into one piece, which can form an effective defense. The route of reinforcements between soldiers in various places has also been shortened a lot. In this situation, Ruan Wenyue got the promise of the Qing Dynasty again. Under the stubborn resistance, it was really difficult for Nan Ruan to get rid of him.
"Well, fame depends on life to earn, isn't it just to keep a peace for a month?" Wang Shouli patted his thigh with a fierce face.
"Brother, take this opportunity to make more requirements to increase our chances of life-saving, such as our warships, artillery, ordnance and so on..." Liang Pengfei's evil eyes are full of shrewdness and calculation.
Hearing Liang Pengfei's whisper, Wang Shouli was stunned at first and gave Liang Pengfei a thumbs up. Gao, the virtuous brother's move is high. Exactly, in the town of Humen, I went deep behind the enemy and suffered from the enemy. If I don't have all the ordnance and firearms, how can I guard Yuyueyu?
Wang Shouli did not ask Liang Pengfei to go with him, but went to find He Lin alone. Liang Pengfei directly returned to the naval division station of the new camp and the Nantou camp, and held a very special meeting in his flagship cabin. That night, several inconspicuous boats quietly left the sailor's station and quietly headed east and south.
The sky is dark and lightless, and the light of the sun has been completely covered by the thick rolling dark clouds. The wild wind is roaring, blowing the sails on that side. Ah, the sea, the roaring wind, wild and so affectionate, it crossed the sky, bulged the sail, like the towering chest in the thin shirt, ah..." The desire for dissatisfaction almost led Liang Pengfei to open his arms and loudly against the wind.
Fernando's triangular eyes, which had just landed on Liang Pengfei's flagship, suddenly stared into a polygon, and the corners of his mouth were slanted. Even the Bible that had been in his palm slipped out of his hand. His expression reminded people of the disabled cerebral palsy patients.
The Lieutenant Colonel Juan behind him staggered directly and hit the mast next to him, covering his head and jumping straight in pain. Not far behind, Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen laughed and fell down. The young master was so talented that he could even make up a yellow poem with a very Western style when he saw the typhoon.
"Well, this is a new sonnet that I just wrote. Do you have the taste of Schiller's early radical revolutionary spirit?" After Liang Pengfei finished sending Shixing, or after a boring person moaned without illness, he turned his head and asked the Spanish missionary who had just arrived at Liang Pengfei's side from Crab King Island for his opinion.
Hearing such a shameless question, Fernando's eyes almost fell to the ground. After a long time, it seemed that the original air could breathe, and it turned out that people could be so shameless. This, this... Dear General, I don't have much research on poetry. It's really hard to comment. I'm very sorry. Maybe you can ask the one next to me, dear Lieutenant Colonel Juan.
"No, no, no, dear monk, I don't have any interest in poetry. As a soldier, my whole body and mind have been devoted to meritorious deeds." Lieutenant Colonel Juan's face was a little pale, and there was a faint white foam on his mouth. I don't know if he was full of desire to vomit after hearing Liang Pengfei's sonnets, but he still resisted trying to copy a sword with Liang Pengfei, an oriental scum who actually tampered with the beautiful Western sonnets into yellow poetry. The idea of a duel.
He still wants to return to his distant and missing hometown, but he doesn't want his future and life to be in the hands of this sinister, vicious and cunning Oriental.
"It's a pity that I thought I met two consomants." Liang Pengfei shook his head helplessly, signaling for the two of them to follow him into the cabin.
--------------------
"Mr. Fernando told us what you meant, which made me very happy with my companions, but there were some problems. My companions and I felt it necessary to discuss with you directly, so I came to meet you on behalf of my companions." Sitting in the cabin, the bright candlelight seemed to have a trace of warmth in the cabin. Lieutenant Colonel Juan looked at Liang Pengfei, who was talking about cigars in front of him, and explained his intention.
Liang Pengfei nodded and motioned the representative to continue his speech. He was curious. Do these greedy Westerners think that the price they offered was not enough? In that case, Liang Pengfei would think that he was too polite to these guys before.
"Your Excellency, you know that we are your prisoners of war. Although this feeling is very bad, we admit that your tactical literacy and your subordinates have made us know the East again. And I, and my 23 colleagues, hope to stay on Crab King Island and be able to work under a famous general like you, and may be able to give full play to our expertise.
When Liang Pengfei heard this, he didn't react for a long time. He directly poked himself, and Liang Pengfei reflected: " Lieutenant Colonel Juan, I don't like to joke with me when I'm talking about business."
"I'm definitely not kidding you, General. Your personality charm and your strength have conquered us. We believe that it is our greatest honor to be able to work under your command." Lieutenant Colonel Juan took off his military cap uneasily and expressed their humility to Liang Pengfei.
"Charming of personality?" Liang Pengfei's teeth almost laughed. There is no doubt that he has the charm of a male surname, but saying that he has personality charm is completely nonsense. If he really has personality charm, the tiger's body would be shocked at the beginning. Why didn't these Spanish officers cry and shout at the master with their thighs?
Lieutenant Colonel Juan thought he was not a good lobbyor. Seeing Liang Pengfei's strange expression and face really 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 in front of him, and he must have You must work hard to fulfill your obligations.
"This, I think it's necessary for me to explain it to you..." After Fernando whispered in Liang Pengfei's ear, Liang Pengfei finally understood what was going on.
The reason is very simple. Even if they are officers who have become prisoners of war, even if they are released by Liang Pengfei and return to Spain, what awaits them will be the trial of the Spanish military court. Even if they can escape this fate, the Spanish people of ** are madly worshipping heroes. The shame of spitting those losers and becoming prisoners of war will make them lose their place in the army, and even their reputation will plummet as a result.
The responsibility for defeat must be borne by people. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the behavior of soldiers is subordinate to officers. The victory and defeat of a battle has a lot to do with the command ability of officers. On the contrary, those ordinary soldiers will not have any problems.
In the past six months on Crab King Island, Liang Pengfei's kindness to the Spaniards and his generosity made these people find that they had another way to go, that is, to stay in the rich east and continue to work for Liang Pengfei, since they can't get honor. But the generous salary is enough for them to live a rich life.
Therefore, after a long ideological struggle, these Spanish officers finally unified their way of thinking and decided to swear allegiance to Liang Pengfei, the former pirate, the current general, or to work for Liang Pengfei.
