Although Qu Lie's plan was very thorough and he was very secretive. Except for a few people like him and Wu Qianhu, he almost plotted against all the Dinghaiwei and Zhou Chong, but unfortunately, he

He thought things too simply, and at the same time underestimated Zhou Chong's cleverness, but failed.

In fact, when he first met Qu Lie, Zhou Chong did not doubt the other party. He just asked about Wu Qianhu that he suddenly felt something was wrong, because when they came in, Qu Lie and others had a mess of cups and plates on the table, and he said he should drink it.

But although Wu Qianhu was nervous when he spoke, he was very organized and did not feel drunk at all. Moreover, although the other officers, including Qu Lie, were filled with alcohol, none of them were actually

There are only two explanations for this situation. The first is that Qu Lie and others are all in a huge amount of thousands of cups. This probability is almost negligible. The second is that Qu Lie and the others dare not get drunk because they are

Acting in front of Zhou Chong, you will easily show your strength when you get drunk.

It was this small flaw that made Zhou Chong suspicious of Qu Lie and others, and then he thought about his arrival at Dinghaiwei from beginning to end, and added what he had asked before.

, Regarding the grudge between Qu Lie and Cheng Quan, he was finally sure that Qu Lie and the others must be acting.

"That's how it is. The lower-ranking official deceived Shangguan for his own personal gain. He deserves to die. No matter how the Admiral punishes Qu, the lower-ranking official will never complain. He only asks the Admiral not to blame Wu for letting them go!"

After Qu Lie told all the story, he begged Zhou Chong again.

However, when Zhou Chong heard this, he sneered: "Qu Lie, you don't have to act in front of Admiral. With your wisdom, you should be able to guess. The reason why Admiral did not expose your tricks directly in front of Yu and the others.

.Of course, I don’t want to make things worse, and Cheng Quan is not aware of the practice. This admiral has long been very dissatisfied with him. Even if it is not your plan, I will remove him from his post and investigate him. So what you did is really a bit

It’s a snail!”

When he heard Zhou Chong's words, Qu Lie was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that Zhou Chong would have the intention to remove Cheng Quan long ago. In this way, all the preparations he had made were unnecessary.

Even he himself was smart and clever, and he accidentally messed up the matter, which left a bad impression on the admiral.

Zhou Chong saw the bitter smile on Qu Lie's face, but suddenly showed a strange smile and said, "Qu Lie, your family has served as the commander and commander for generations, and he is naturally the most familiar with Dinghaiwei. However, this admiral originally planned to withdraw.

After Cheng Quan's position as commander, he asked you to take over his position, but what you are doing now makes me hesitate. Do you think who else can be competent for commander besides you in Dinghaiwei?

A job?"

Hearing Zhou Chong's somewhat tricky question, Qu Lie raised his head and looked carefully at the young admiral in front of him. He was also thinking about Zhou Chong's thoughts in his heart. Unfortunately, although he asked himself that he understood the human heart, he could do so.

Unable to guess what Zhou Zhong was thinking, Qu Lie couldn't help but feel a little depressed at the end, so he had to honestly answer according to his thoughts: "Sir, my subordinates believe that in the entire Dinghai Guard, in addition to his subordinates, he would also be

No one can take over as commander!"

"Hahahahaha~ Qu Lie, you are really conceited, but this admiral doesn't think so. As far as I know, Ding Lin, the governor of Dinghaiwei, is brave and resourceful. He once led a navy to wipe out the enemy before.

Pirates passing through the sea outside Zhoushan, and Sun Ming, a Qianhu House in Zhoushan, is also a general who is proficient in naval warfare. The talents of these two people are not inferior to you. All they lack is prestige and cannot match you, but they are

With the support of this admiral, it is not difficult to let any of them take over the position of commander!" Zhou Chong said with a laugh after hearing this. He had conducted an investigation into Dinghaiwei in advance and had already planned several succession procedures in his mind.

Of course, Qu Lie was ranked first in the position of full commander, but he did not make a decision before.

Qu Lie heard that Zhou Chong knew so well about the situation in Dinghaiwei, and even told him that Ding Lin and Sun Ming were two people who were not inferior to him. His face suddenly turned pale. To be fair,

With the talents of Ding and Lin, they can indeed take over as commander, and in some aspects, they will do better than themselves after taking over as commander.

Thinking that if Ding Lin and his men were really robbed of the position of commander, Qu Lie was ashamed of the family after Cheng Quan fell, he should have fallen into the position of commander.

He was now giving it to others because of his superfluous actions, which made him not willing to be content.

However, just when Qu Lie was deeply entangled, Zhou Chong suddenly smiled again and said, "But although Ding Lin and Sun Ming have good talents, this Admiral just thought about it, and finally decided to

You will take over the position of commander for the time being!"

"This... sir, is this true?" Hearing Zhou Chong's sudden words, Qu Lie suddenly raised his head and asked incredible. He never thought that he had done so much

It was really unbelievable that the Admiral chose him.

"Do you think this admiral is joking?" Zhou Chong asked in a stern face, but when he heard his affirmative answer, not only Qu Lie couldn't believe it, but even Wu Shan beside Zhou Chong also showed a puzzled expression.

As a subordinate, Lie plotted against his superiors. This was already a big taboo. No matter how broad-minded Zhou Chong was, he should not have given Qu Lie the position of commander?

"Thank you for your kindness in the promotion, my subordinates will repay you with death!" Seeing that Zhou Chong really didn't care about what had happened before and wanted to give him the position of commander to him, Qu Lie couldn't help but feel excited and immediately knelt down.

He performed the rituals, and at this moment, he really wanted to die for Zhou Chong. Only in this way can he repay the other party's kindness of knowing and acquaintance.

However, Zhou Chong helped him up and said lightly: "Qu Lie, although I decided to promote you, you must listen clearly. The position of commander is only temporarily held by you. If you cannot meet my expectations, then

Don’t blame Admiral for turning against others!”

"Don't worry, if my subordinates do not meet my request, there is no need to do it at that time. My subordinates will ask for punishment by themselves!" Qu Lie also promised again at this time, although he didn't know what Zhou Chong took over Ningbo Wei for the time being.

, but he had already made up his mind that no matter what Zhou Chong asked him to do in the future, as long as he did not rebel, he would do it without hesitation.

"Very good!" Zhou Chong was also very satisfied with Qu Lie's attitude, but at this time he thought about it and then asked, "Qu Lie, this admiral asked you, can Dinghaiwei go to sea to fight now, if you encounter a

Are you sure to win the navy of other countries who are well-trained and have a lot of practical experience?”

If it were before, Qu Lie would definitely guarantee without hesitation that no matter what enemy he encountered, they would be sure to defeat him. But now he was very awe of Zhou Chong and did not dare to lie at all. He only saw him finish listening.

After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Sir, the entire Dinghai Guard is now 5,600 people per person, but his usual practice is much lazy. There is naturally no problem in going to sea to wipe out the pirates, but if you fight with the regular army,

And if the other party is well-trained, I'm afraid these navy masters from Dinghaiwei will be in danger!"

After hearing Qu Lie's honest answer, Zhou Chong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed again, but he still asked unwillingly: "Qu Lie, if I give you half a year to practice, and when it's June and July next year, you will have it.

Are you not sure to increase the combat power of Dinghaiwei?"

"This..." Qu Lie hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but finally smiled bitterly, "The Admiral doesn't know that the navy is different from the Lu Division. The soldiers of the Lu Division can only be carried in half a year if they try to practice.

Weapons go to the battlefield, but in addition to knowing how to fight, naval commanders also know how to drive ships and identify sea situations. The most important thing is that a naval commander must go through the test of actual combat before he can truly become a qualified water commander.

, Otherwise, no matter how much you practice, you will not be able to become an elite navy in the end!"

Although Qu Lie's words wiped out Zhou Chong's last glimmer of luxury, it also made him completely relieved. Qu Lie talked about the navy's so well-informed manner, which shows that he also has a lot of experience in how to build an elite navy.

In the past, he had been fighting for power with Cheng Quan, so he had no chance or ability to bring out his talents. Now with Zhou Chong's support, I believe that in a few years, the appearance of Dinghaiwei, the navy, will truly transform.

For a real navy.

After chatting with Qu Lie about Dinghaiwei, Zhou Chong took him out. When he saw Yu Wenyuan and others, Zhou Chong did not show any abnormality. However, Yu Wenyuan and the old foxes who rolled in the officialdom were also

It was extremely smart and soon noticed that Qu Lie was respectful to Zhou Chong. It seemed that just a moment, Qu Lie was completely subdued by Zhou Chong. This surprised Yu Wenyuan and others, and at the same time, he was also very proud of Zhou Chong.

Also more confident.

Although Qu Lie was scattered by Cheng Quan, he was the commander of Dinghai Guard. After finding him, Zhou Chong immediately brought everyone to Zhenhai Tower and asked Qu Lie to beat the drum to summon the generals in the guard to discuss matters.
