Chapter 1731 Haha, just kidding
Zhao Wenhua saw everyone’s reaction and knew that they had doubts about his words, so he smiled softly and continued quietly: "Although in order to successfully lure the Japanese pirates, I kept you in the dark, but at the beginning of the sacrifice to the sea, I transferred you to assist in the sacrifice to the sea and during the patrol. , I have repeatedly emphasized to you that you must be more vigilant and guard against Japanese pirates causing trouble. This is also a wake-up call for you. However, judging from the losses in each battalion, it is obvious that some people did not listen to my warning. Here..."
He knew that these people would not cooperate obediently unless they put some pressure on them, so what he said was to put pressure on them.
The effect is also obvious.
After hearing Zhao Wenhua's words, He Qing and Shen Xiyi were obviously stressed and had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Veterans, veterans, the older they get, the more they cherish their feathers. They cherish the glory of their fathers, and they cherish carrying forward and passing on the glory of their fathers. They all want to become a more dazzling glory of the family and be respected by the descendants of the family.
They acted too much last night. Just a few dozen Japanese pirates caused heavy casualties to their soldiers. Even if they were punished, it would not be an exaggeration.
If they are convicted, they will be in danger, and it will also bring shame to their family.
In this way, not only will they not become the glory of the family, but they will also become negative examples that the family uses to educate the younger generations.
This is a burden they cannot bear.
Therefore, when they heard Zhao Wenhua's incriminating words, they suddenly became uneasy.
Tang Kekuan's expression also changed slightly. He was getting close to Governor Zhang and was worried that Zhao Wenhua would take the opportunity to suppress and retaliate.
If you keep an eye on the casualties in their camp and make a fuss about it, reading his book will be enough for him to drink a pot.
Yu Dayou was not worried at all, Marquis Linhuai was even less worried, and Zhu Pingan, an insider, was even more calm.
Zhao Wenhua looked around at everyone again, then changed his voice and continued, "But, seeing that you have involved the Japanese pirates, I divided my troops and gave my command to Hu Zongxian, Zhu Ping'an and Li Tingzhu to destroy the main force of the Japanese pirates. I have spent enough time to help this officer win the first victory in the war against Japan. Your Majesty, in my memorial to the Holy One, I did not hold you accountable. I used the word "not afraid of sacrifice" to describe your losses. On the contrary, I will also show you my contribution to the suppression of Japanese invaders. This is This is a great victory against Japanese invaders. You have worked hard and made contributions. You are all meritorious people.”
ah? ! What? !
Did I hear correctly? !
Zhao Wenhua not only refused to hold us accountable for our heavy casualties, but used the phrase "not afraid of sacrifice" to explain us right and wrong. He also wanted to show us his contribution to assisting in destroying the Japanese and show our merit and hard work? !
He Qing, Shen Xiyi and others opened their eyes in disbelief. They didn't expect Zhao Wenhua to be so generous? ! So considerate of them? !
Is this still Zhao Wenhua? !
They once wondered whether their ears had heard wrongly, or whether Zhao Wenhua was acting strangely.
However, when Zhao Wenhua circulated the draft "Qingji Haishu" to everyone, He Qing and others were sure that they heard correctly. Zhao Wenhua was not being weird, but really wrote it that way. .
Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian have already signed the "Celebration of Haishu", which cannot be faked.
This memorial to the sea does indeed write that they "were not afraid of sacrifice" and "involved the Japanese pirates dividing their troops", which bought valuable time for Zhao Wenhua to command Zhu Ping'an's Department, Hu Zongxian's Department, and Li Tingzhu's Department to exterminate the main force of the Japanese pirates.
Not only that, Zhao Wenhua also truthfully recorded that Tang Kekuan's tribe captured 27 Japanese pirate heads, Yu Dayou's tribe captured 65 Japanese pirate heads, and Li Tingzhu's tribe captured 98 Japanese pirate heads.
However, Tang Kekuan couldn't help but frown after reading it. In addition to recording the true capture of 566 Japanese pirate heads, this memorial also swore and conclusively recorded:
"exist Under the leadership of the minister, under the pursuit and suppression by various ministries, more than 500 Japanese pirates were unable to escape and were forced to jump into the sea to escape. As a result, the originally calm sea suddenly set off huge waves, and more than 500 Japanese pirates were drowned while shouting in terror. Huge waves roll into the sea He was buried in the depths of the sea, with no bones left. After worshiping the sea during the day, the Poseidon helped the Ming Dynasty to annihilate the Japanese pirates. This battle can be seen that more than a thousand Japanese were killed in one battle. The first achievement of Japan is military spirit, The people are greatly inspired and encouraged, and the situation of fighting against Japanese pirates is flourishing. Already? ! Were there any huge waves in the sea last night? !
This is not true.
Therefore, after reading Zhao Wenhua's memorial, He Qing and others felt mixed feelings, happy and frowning at the same time.
"Everyone, if you have no objections, please sign the memorial together and submit it together with me."
Zhao Wenhua looked at everyone with a smile and said slowly.
What? !
You want us to sign the memorial legato? ! Doesn’t this allow us to endorse this memorial? ! At the same time, it was confirmed that what Zhao Wenhua said was true, that in addition to the actual 566 Japanese pirate heads, more than 500 Japanese pirates were forced to jump into the sea, and that the sea set off huge waves last night and more than 500 Japanese pirates jumped into the sea. The Japanese pirates were buried under the sea!
This.
He Qing and others were silent.
"If you all have opinions and don't sign them, then my memorial will have to be revised. Then don't blame me for being too harsh." Zhao Wenhua said quietly, and after a second's pause, He laughed again, waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Haha, just kidding. Sir, please don’t take it seriously and don’t feel burdened. If you want to sign, just sign. If you don’t want to sign, don’t. I will never force you to do so.”
Zhao Wenhua said he was joking, but no one present felt that he was joking. He means it, and if he didn't sign his name, he would really do it.
Although it is not stated clearly, the meaning is self-evident. If you do not sign this memorial, then I will revise the memorial and write down your responsibilities clearly one by one. Can you Think clearly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, has Governor Zhang read this memorial and what are your opinions?" Tang Kekuan asked, cupping his hands.
"I asked Governor Zhang for his opinion on this memorial. Governor Zhang said that the matter of worshiping the sea is up to me and he will not interfere." Zhao Wenhua shrugged his shoulders and said leisurely.
Did Zhao Wenhua lie? ! Really not. Zhang Jing didn’t even read the memorial drafted by Zhao Wenhua, so he dismissed Zhao Wenhua with the words above. However, there was another sentence after Zhang Jing’s words, which was: “After the sacrifice to the sea, Jiangnan fought against the Japanese I will make the final decision on this matter, and please Mr. Zhao not to get involved."
