Chapter 120: Too Annoying! The Army Leader Drinks Wine
"It seems that you have already made all preparations."
Prince Huaian looked at Jiang Chen and said calmly.
But there was a flash of shock in those eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. If you can't even do something like this."
"Then what capital do I have to cooperate with the prince?"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen lowered his head and saluted King Huai'an.
"Well, in that case."
"Then I will step in to calm the people down and deal with the Japanese pirates."
"I'll leave it to Lord Jiang, if you need any help ."
"Just tell me, I will do my best to help you if I can."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had made all the preparations, King Huai'an no longer refused.
On that day, the entire Jiangnan County learned that the prefect Li Jingxuan had committed rebellion.
He embezzled money, secretly raised troops, and exploited the people.
He colluded with the Japanese pirates and made profits, and was dismissed from his official position by the Regent Jiang Chen!
At the same time, in order to prevent the people from being dissatisfied, King Huai'an announced.
Take back control of Jiangnan government affairs and make every effort to wipe out the Japanese pirates!
As soon as these two pieces of news came out, they spread throughout Jiangnan County.
At the same time, Prince Huai'an took drastic measures to restore his power in Jiangnan.
Jiang Chen also brought Li Yulin back to the Huai'an City camp.
"Master Jiang, we have followed your instructions."
"Thirty thousand county soldiers are all ready to go and can be dispatched at any time."
A commander named Wang Qingping bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen and spoke slowly.
"Haha not bad."
"But if we want to deal with the Japanese pirates, we need a navy."
"Do we have a navy in Jiangnan?"
After Jiang Chen praised the commanders, he asked a crucial question.
"Reply, sir."
"I used to have 10,000 naval forces in Jiangnan, but since Li Jingxuan took office."
"They reduced the navy to 3,000 men on the grounds that it was a waste of money and manpower."
"Now my Jiangnan Navy is stationed outside Huai'an City."
As Wang Qingping spoke, an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
Originally, thanks to the Jiangnan Navy, the Japanese pirates were not as rampant as they are now.
However, Li Jingxuan was doing this for corruption.
He cut the size of the navy by more than half and even placed his own trusted men in it.
This resulted in the Jiangnan Navy, which had originally been quite powerful, instantly turning into a mob.
"Come on, take me to the navy base."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned, stood up and walked out of the tent.
Under the guidance of Wang Qingping and Li Yulin , Jiang Chen left Huai'an City.
After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the navy camp located on the bank of Dongting River.
Just as Wang Qingping and Li Yulin were about to step forward to report, they were stopped by Jiang Chen.
After making a "hush" gesture to the two of them, Jiang Chen slowly walked into the navy camp.
The camp, which was supposed to be guarded by soldiers, had its gates open at this time .
From the tents, the sounds of finger-guessing games and gambling could be heard from time to time.
Hearing these voices, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown.
As Jiang Chen walked into the camp, none of the naval soldiers noticed that someone had come in.
They were still gathered there, drinking and playing finger-guessing games like crazy.
"Hello, brothers. Six six six..."
"You lose, drink, drink!"
Several naval soldiers staggered from drinking and stood up staggeringly.
I was just about to turn around and go out to relieve myself.
However, when he turned around, he saw Jiang Chen with a stern look.
"Who are you?!"
"How dare you trespass into the Jiangnan Navy camp? Come here!"
A soldier who looked like a leader pointed at Jiang Chen's nose and shouted at him.
Suddenly, the naval soldiers who were originally drinking and playing finger-guessing games.
They drew their machetes from their waists and surrounded Jiang Chen.
Faced with the strong murderous intent faintly emanating from the naval soldiers.
Jiang Chen stood there calmly, his internal energy flowing out of his dantian.
In an instant, the murderous intent of the naval soldiers disappeared!
At this time, Wang Qingping and Li Yulin also came out.
"How dare you! This person is the regent appointed by the imperial court!"
"How dare you drink in the barracks? Have you forgotten your duties as a soldier?!"
Under the scolding of Wang Qingping and Li Yulin.
The naval soldiers finally sobered up from their drunken state.
The soldier who looked like a leader saluted to Jiang Chen and said apologetically.
"Greetings, Lord Regent."
"We don't want to be like this, but what else can we do besides drinking!"
As he said this, the leader sighed helplessly.
Looking at these soldiers who were not bad by nature, Jiang Chen's anger dissipated for the most part.
"Where is your naval commander now?"
After calming down his angry heart, Jiang Chen asked the leader.
"My Lord, my navy is not under command."
Facing Jiang Chen's question, the leader replied with gritted teeth.
Listening to his tone, Jiang Chen knew that there must be something hidden!
"Nonsense, where is that loser Li Shijie?!"
Before Jiang Chen could ask, Li Yulin behind him took a few steps forward.
He grabbed the leader by the collar and questioned loudly.
"Your Excellency, our commander has gone to drink wine."
Looking at the angry Li Yulin, a naval soldier hurried forward.
Replied on behalf of the leader.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen became even more angry.
As the leader of an army, it's fine for you to not care about the affairs of the camp.
Now you're drinking wine by yourself?!
An angry Jiang Chen turned around and spoke to Liu Wei and Qi Laoer beside him with gritted teeth.
"You guys, take someone to bring this Li Shijie here!"
"yes!"
Liu Wei and Qi Laoer hurriedly took the order and quickly returned to Huai'an City with two teams of Jinyiwei.
Not long after, two men came in, escorting a drunk young man.
"Let me go!"
"I am the governor's trusted confidant and the commander of the navy!"
"How dare you tie me up? You can just wait to be fired from your posts!"
The young man continued to struggle and roared loudly at Liu Wei and Qi Laoer.
"Sir, Li Shijie has been brought here."
The two men ignored the young man's struggle and directly forced him to kneel in front of Jiang Chen.
"Okay, you guys go down first."
Jiang Chen waved at the two of them and turned his attention to the young man.
"Are you Li Shijie?"
"Humph, grandpa is Li Shijie!"
"You are so brave that you actually dared to tie up the commander of the navy."
Hearing Jiang Chen asking him, Li Shijie shouted at Jiang Chen arrogantly.
"Sir, let's leave this guy to the future to deal with!"
Looking at his disappointing cousin, Li Yulin stood up in shame.
"No, I'd like to see it."
"How arrogant is this guy!"
Having said that, Jiang Chen stopped Li Yulin and called over several naval soldiers.
