The waves slammed on the reefs and splashed water.

The crescent-shaped port is full of various sea boats.

There were many cannons on the reef above the pier on Chongming Island, all of which were red-clothed cannons.

Liang Huafeng personally led his confidant to check.

These things have not been used for a long time and may have various problems.

Facing Zheng Chenggong's invincible fleet, only the red cannon armed to his teeth would make him feel at ease.

"Hurry up and try the cannon for me!"

The use of red cannons was extremely complicated, and the Qing soldiers were busy all over the place.

After almost all the tricks were done, we could finally fire the fire.

But when the ammunition was not fired, it was obviously exploded!

The phenomenon of cannon explosions is common, and soldiers are generally used to it.

But now that the Ming army navy is approaching, it is not a good thing that the red-clothed cannon explodes at this time.

"Damn it, I'll let you protect the cannon chamber more on weekdays and treat my words as an inclination, right?"

Liang Huafeng glared at the artillery fiercely and scolded: "Does go!"

As a self-made general, Liang Huafeng can be said to be very down-to-earth and can basically do daily operations.

He is also proficient in the operation of pushing bullets and firing cannons.

After taking it from the artillery, Liang Huafeng operated as fierce as a tiger. The Qing soldiers next to him were stunned.

The General actually has such an operation, which is really extraordinary!

Unfortunately, Liang Huafeng tinkered with the cannon for a long time and still didn't move. She couldn't hold on to her face anymore.

"I'm afraid I can't do anything bad if I hear it."

Liang Huafeng exuded his anger on the soldiers again: "Give me diligence, if the Zheng thief attacks, come and report it immediately."

After saying that, he left with his longevity.

But Liang Huafeng returned to the Admiral's Mansion and walked to Ma Fengzhi with a sad look on his face and said, "The cannons at the docks always explode, so I'm afraid they can't be used to stop the Zheng thief."

Ma Fengzhi was waiting for this sentence and said as he followed the conversation: "I just said that it's not tight on weekdays, but it's useless to get tight all of a sudden."

"Hey, if Zheng thieves attacked the port, they were worried that they might not be able to defend it."

Ma Fengzhi said that there are also times when Liang Huafeng is afraid of admitting his conscience. It is not easy.

"General Liang, there is one thing I don't know whether to say it or not."

Liang Huafeng hurriedly said, "Please give orders to the Admiral."

"This Zheng thief is not an ordinary pirate, but a giant thief. He has been in charge of the Southeast Sea Trade for many years and is rich enough to rival a country. His navy is even more sharp. It would be inappropriate to shake his peak."

The Liang Huafeng who Ma Fengzhi said was in a fog.

"Please make it clear to the Admiral."

"Cough cough." Ma Fengzhi coughed and said, "This is the thing. I don't think we need to take the initiative. We can consider pretending not to see Zheng thief."

"Didn't you see Zheng Zhe?"

Liang Huafeng's eyes widened and could not believe his ears.

"How is this possible? Chongming Island is the place that must pass to the estuary of the Yangtze River. It would be fine if one or two ships passed by, but how could the navy of these hundreds of warships pass by in a mighty manner? "

Liang Huafeng also understood the meaning of Ma Fengzhi, which is a passive and lazy war.

"Mr. Admiral, if the Governor knows that our dereliction of duty will not be able to escape."

He felt it was necessary to tell Ma Fengzhi the seriousness of the matter. If it really happened, they would have to take advantage of it.

Seeing that Liang Huafeng said this, Ma Fengzhi didn't mind making it clear.

"Let me say so. The last time the Zheng thief attacked, Admiral did not go out to sea to pursue him. What was the result? The court not only did not cure the Admiral's crime, but also rewarded and encouraged him."

Ma Fengzhi paused and said, "Some things are both black and white, and they are very flexible to handle. The court is now employed, so it will not criticize loyal ministers and good generals. What do you think of General Liang?"

Liang Huafeng couldn't understand what Ma Fengzhi meant, so he had to persuade: "The truth is this. But if everyone thinks like the Admiral, who will resist the Ming thief? Do you expect others to stand up?"

Ma Fengzhi means that when the sky falls, there are tall people holding on to it, but they all want to be low, but no one can be tall.

In Liang Huafeng's view, although Ma Fengzhi has no real Tongzheng, his essence is actually the same.

But Tongzheng is a relatively cunning way of this kind of meaning, and no evidence can be easily captured.

Do you want to be in harmony with Ma Fengzhi?

Liang Huafeng didn't know.

He is very confused at this moment.

On the one hand, Ma Fengzhi is his immediate superior, and it is unwise to violate his superiors.

On the other hand, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is deeply in Liang Huafeng's heart.

Is this worthy of Emperor Shunzhi?

After all, he also earned the salary of the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing Liang Huafeng falling silent, Ma Fengzhi didn't urge him to pick up the teacup and taste the tea.

He felt that Liang Huafeng was a smart person, and his interests could be understood.

In fact, deep down in Ma Fengzhi's heart, he hoped that Zheng Chenggong would become bigger.

This is what the so-called raising a bandit is self-respecting.

Only when Zheng Chenggong became strong and posed a great threat to the Qing court, can people like Ma Fengzhi have a place to use their skills.

If the world is peaceful, such generals with tens of thousands of troops will become the target of fear of the court.

In addition to Ma Fengzhi's experience, Emperor Shunzhi would be even more unable to sleep well and would even want to get along with it quickly.

So from Ma Fengzhi's standpoint, he neither hoped that the Qing court would destroy the Ming Dynasty nor the Ming court would destroy the Qing Dynasty.

It's a good state of winning and losing with each other now.

Ma Fengzhi does not need to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty or to the Ming Dynasty forever.

All he is loyal to is interests.

This is the essence of the fence-riding school.

After being silent for a long time, Liang Huafeng finally spoke out.

"Mr. Admiral, I will understand it. I will listen to the Master.

Ma Fengzhi was overjoyed when he heard this and smiled and said with a happy smile: "That's right. I knew that General Liang was a smart man. He was all working for the court, so why bother to make things difficult for each other?"

Those who know the times are heroes. Liang Huafeng is still very sensible.

"If the Admiral has nothing else to do, he will surrender first."

Liang Huafeng felt very tired and forced herself to give in.

"Well, General Liang will go and rest first."

Ma Fengzhi said in harmony.

After getting Liang Huafeng finished, a stone hanging in Ma Fengzhi's heart finally landed on the ground.

In this way, no one talks too much, he can passively resist Ming Dynasty according to the plan.

Although he could not blatantly send a messenger to express his attitude to Zheng Chenggong, Ma Fengzhi could show his goodwill to Zheng Chenggong in a silent way.

Zheng Chenggong is a smart person and will definitely understand.

Fight, fight.

Only when the world is in chaos can his life be easier.

It would be best if both sides fought against each other in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so that he could benefit from it.
