Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 1198 It is normal to see ghosts in broad daylight

If you drift on the sea for a long time, you will see all kinds of ghosts.

This is something that people who have lived on land for a long time and never go to the sea often cannot understand.

Being in the vast ocean, surrounded by endless water on all sides, you will feel like you are locked up in a prison after a while. If your will is not firm enough, all kinds of negative emotions will arise.

Even an illusion.

After the fleet set out to sea, it quickly split into several formations and headed for different destinations.

The Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of sea borders and the territory of the outer island chain, and all the ports add up to more than three digits. In the shock of the tides of time and space, who knows how many big and small troubles will arise.

The situation in inland areas is slightly better. Many people in inland states have no concept of time, and they don't even know who the current emperor is.

The chaos caused by space-time tides mainly occurs in coastal areas.

The transport ship that Wang Yunxiao was on docked at Penglai as its first stop.

It was not the Penglai he was thinking of, but the coastal port city of Luzhou, which was called Dengzhou in ancient times.

It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, an emperor visited here and saw the Penglai Island in the sea from a high place, and the place was named after it.

But in fact, it is said that what the emperor saw was just a mirage.

Wang Yunxiao stood on the mountain and looked around for a long time, but he didn't see any Penglai Fairy Island.

Instead, he saw the emperor who was on inspection.

Both sides noticed each other's presence, and the other side suddenly became a commotion, shouting "protect the emperor" and shooting arrows at this side.

However, this illusion only lasted for a dozen seconds before it ended, as if it had never existed.

Who knows whether it is a mirage or the tide of time and space? Anyway, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t tell with his eyes.

He couldn't tell because he was cautious, but it was hard to say for others.

The next day after landing, Wang Yunxiao bought a newspaper at the dock. He opened it and took a look at it, and almost threw the whole newspaper away.

The front page headlines are filled with indescribable explosive content.

——Xu Ziwei has committed many evil deeds!
Who can give me a pair of eyes that have never seen this?

Wang Yunxiao was shocked.

Hey buddy, we just arrived in Luzhou and it’s already like this?

He had heard that the situation in the south was not stable, but he didn't have any real sense of it.

I didn't expect that he would receive such exciting and wonderful content here in Luzhou.

After a long silence, Wang Yunxiao opened the newspaper again and read it carefully.

Well, it is indeed something indescribable.

A famous academic listed Xu Ziwei's ten crimes in the newspaper.

The first is to usurp power and steal the country.

Well, it’s been three years since the Ming Dynasty…

Then there is the self-reliance of the troops...

You added this one unnecessarily.

The third is to harm the public interest and benefit oneself.

Harm the world and enrich the heaven.

The fourth is to block the channels of speech.

It’s even harder to watch later.

What about not being able to judge people, framing loyal and honest people, waging war, levying heavy taxes, and indulging in wine and women...

Wang Yunxiao's eyes turned black.

Which loyal person was framed?

Take a look at the names mentioned later.

Kong Sheng.

Ah, that's okay.

Counting the days, it will soon be the first anniversary of the unfortunate murder of Chief Kong.

Master Kong’s family, relatives, friends, teachers and students are planning a grand memorial ceremony.

It is said that one should go to the saint's temple to cry out on the anniversary of his death.

Another report was about the news that a "saint" appeared in Lu.

It is said that the saint who lived thousands of years ago frequently appeared in various places with his disciples. Some witnesses claimed that they saw Kong Shuo appear in the queue of disciples behind the saint.

What does this mean?
This shows that the spirit of Kong Shanchang is immortal after his death! This shows that God is warning Xu Ziwei that her moral conduct is flawed!
After Wang Yunxiao patiently read all the contents, he threw the newspaper into the trash can.

I don’t know who gave this newspaper such courage.

Of course, it is also possible that it is not courage, but a desperate move due to being forced into a desperate situation.

He had heard Yan Yu'an say earlier that the problem of land annexation in Luzhou was quite serious. After Kong Shu's death, starting from the third year of the Ming Dynasty, the new government carried out drastic governance and rectification in Luzhou.

What is the specific effect of the rectification... It's his first time here, so he doesn't quite understand.

At around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Yunxiao and several other young officers of the fleet were called ashore.

He didn't recognize the others, he only saw Wei Liuyun, with whom he had fought once.

The commander of their squadron is a veteran in the navy named Zhai Peng, who is nearly 70 years old. It is said that he was the commander of the navy in the previous dynasty and is still as good as ever.

The old general drank a lot of wine today. He looked rosy-cheeked and in good spirits.

As soon as he saw the young people coming in, he raised his hand and pointed to the side and said, "Pick one at random!"

Wang Yunxiao looked in the direction of his finger and saw only a group of delicate girls.

Indeed, they can only be described as delicate. They look young, and are very graceful, with a good figure and appearance. Although they lower their heads and dare not speak, the shyness between their brows cannot be concealed.

Seeing that the young officers were still a little reserved, Zhai Peng said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? These are all given to me by Mr. Han. I can't afford them at my age, but it's hard to refuse them, so I'll give them to you guys! As the saying goes, a beauty matches a hero, and it's a beautiful story!"

Ah, this...can't be done, General!

Are the welfare benefits of our navy a bit too good?
Of course, then again, this is not really a problem of the navy. This kind of "rule" that everyone tacitly accepts is nothing new.

The "Laoguaner Han" mentioned by Zhai Peng is the local chief.

Since ancient times, when a large army passes through a region, there is a custom of rewarding the troops.

If you don't take the initiative to express your intention, do you have to wait for those soldiers to take action on their own?
How to distribute the "meaning" of filial piety from the local areas to the officers and soldiers under his command, when to distribute it and how much to distribute, is also a science.

This part does not exist in regular "military books" at all, so there is the inheritance of "generals" and the allusion of "talking about war on paper".

From this perspective, the old general's approach is completely understandable.

He took the gold and silver and took them out to boost morale when needed. He did not keep the beauties to himself, but shared them with the young heroes in the army... No one could find fault with this method. They must give a thumbs up and praise the general for loving his soldiers like his own sons and making good plans.

But the problem is that this was the third year of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when some people were about to make a move, Wei Liuyun stood up, saluted Zhai Peng with a standard military salute, and then said loudly: "Report to the commander! This is not in compliance with military regulations!"

Zhai Peng smiled nonchalantly and said, "You are too old-fashioned. Don't you know what it means to be a general in a foreign country and not obey orders from the emperor? This is a kind gesture from the local people. Now I give it to you but you refuse it. What will we do if there is a commotion down below?"

Everyone knows what the old general meant by "noise". In the final analysis, it can be summed up in four words: disturbing the local area.

You don't accept other people's kindness, what do you want to do, go out incognito to eat beef noodles?
This is the truth, but Wei Liuyun did not intend to give in. He said loudly: "If we soldiers make mistakes, we will be punished according to military law. The general openly accepted bribes and shared the spoils with us. Where does this fit in with the new military law?"

The old general's face changed slightly, but he didn't get angry immediately. He just said calmly: "Don't be so serious. If you have any objections, wait until you return to Tianmen and report it to your superiors."

Wei Liuyun glanced at Wang Yunxiao who was standing beside him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "General Zhai, I want to verify your secret key."

When he finished speaking, the entire audience instantly fell into an eerie silence.

The old general's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Wei Liuyun! What are you going to do?"

"Execute military law."

Seeing his performance, Wei Liuyun confirmed his guess. He immediately took out his gun and pointed it at his chest. At the same time, he said to Wang Yunxiao: "Leave this to me. You go back to the ship and sound the level 3 alarm."

Wang Yunxiao coughed and said, "Why don't you go back? I don't know much about these procedures."

"it is good."

Wei Liuyun turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Don't let anyone go at the scene, including these women."

"Wei Liuyun!"

The old general was furious and raised his hand to command his men: "Catch him!"

Wang Yunxiao dodged and blocked the door. He raised his hand to stop the two guards who rushed over and said with a smile, "Everyone calm down and don't hurt the harmony."

"Wang Yunxiao! Are you also following that kid to make trouble?"

"I'm not kidding."

Wang Yunxiao explained calmly: "If you don't take out the secret key to prove your identity, Wei Liuyun will certainly have enough reason to suspect you."

Zhai Peng said angrily: "How can a military advisor like him have the qualifications to check my secret key?"

After saying this, he saw an expression of "as expected" on Wang Yunxiao's face, and was immediately shocked.

A young officer who came with Wang Yunxiao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What is the secret key?"

"I do not know either."

Wang Yunxiao shrugged and said, "But you should still remember what method Wei Liuyun practiced, right?"

"Actor..."

The young officer who asked the question was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Zhai Peng and the guards around him: "Don't move, put your guns down!"

The girls only came to their senses at this time and screamed in panic.

"Shut up! Get down! Put your hands on your head!"

"It's a rebellion! It's a rebellion!"

Zhai Peng was furious. He slowly stood up and asked coldly, "Are you planning a mutiny?"

"It's not us who want to mutiny. It's your own problem."

Wang Yunxiao said sternly: "Old General, you don't have to act so hard. There will be errors in cognition, but not in logic."

"There is no secret key on our ship. You don't even know this. Are you...really the commander of our fleet?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhai Peng's face changed drastically.

"Why do you doubt me?"

"First of all, you did the wrong thing. You accepted whatever they gave you. You just arrived and didn't even know whose military pay you were getting. It was unwise for you to hang out with the local governor so carelessly."

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that it was a good thing that I took a look at the newspaper today, otherwise I would not have known that Luzhou was in such a state.

But it's normal for a private like me not to know these things. As a commander, don't you even have this little sensitivity?
Either there is something wrong with your position, or there is something wrong with you as a person.

Even Wang Yunxiao couldn't be fooled by this change, let alone Wei Liuyun who practiced the actor's method.

It was revealed in just two sentences.

Zhai Peng narrowed his eyes and stared at Wang Yunxiao.

“That doesn’t make sense.”

"Everyone knows who I am, and I know who I am, so why do you doubt me..."

"This is normal."

Wang Yunxiao nodded and said, "Here, it's normal for a familiar person to suddenly appear around you, or for a stranger to disappear.

This is called space-time tide.

The commander of the squadron was suddenly replaced out of thin air - this sounds very outrageous, but it is entirely possible to happen in an environment of time and space tidal shocks. It's just that ordinary people who lack relevant experience find it difficult to notice it.

He still has a brief personal profile of the old general in his mind, including the memory of having met him several times and being appreciated by him.

But this information doesn't mean anything.

Perception can be distorted, but logic cannot.

Even though Zhai Peng himself was aware of the problem and tried his best to disguise himself - just like those online novel protagonists whose souls traveled to another world, he would either say that he had lost his memory or quickly win over a group of forces loyal to him.

For example, assigning beautiful girls to young officers who look stupid.

If it were someone else, they would probably be moved to tears of gratitude.

But this time he unfortunately met a tough guy - this rough method aroused Wei Liuyun's suspicion.

Of course me!
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that he should also severely criticize this vulgar behavior.

I am going to get married soon and will definitely not be tempted by mere beauty.

It’s useless even if those girls have pretty faces!
It’s definitely not because this place is called Penglai.

It's purely because of my personal noble character!

With a loud bang, the entire roof collapsed instantly.

The old general had been a soldier all his life, and even when he was in adversity, he never thought of surrendering.

Moreover, he didn't think that the well-mannered young man in front of him could stop him.

then……

On the third day after arriving at Penglai Port, the squadron suffered heavy losses.

The fleet commander, General Zhai Peng, became paralyzed on one side of his body due to a stroke and lost his ability to command.

After communicating with the flagship, Wei Liuyun replaced the old general as the acting commander of the squadron.

Wang Yunxiao was temporarily promoted to staff officer of the headquarters.

Rocket-like promotion speed.

Standing in the command room of the armored cruiser "Xuyang", Wang Yunxiao looked at the new epaulettes on his shoulders and felt deeply moved.

Now he understood why so many officers and soldiers had to be loaded on the transport ships and move with the fleet.

These are all non-combat losses that were within the planned range.

After an emergency round of common sense tests, 76 officers and soldiers, including Commander Zhai Peng, were disarmed, and the soldiers on the transport ship immediately replaced their original positions.
