Mao Wenlong admired Zhu Yuanzhang very much.

Many things Wei Bao does, Mao Wenlong also appreciates.

Sometimes, Mao Wenlong even felt that Wei Bao had a bit of Taizu's talent.

"General Mao, are you here too?" Sun Chengzong took the initiative to greet Mao Wenlong. Because I saw that no one paid attention to Mao Wenlong.

It's not that Mao Wenlong is arrogant, although Mao Wenlong is a little arrogant, but it is not to the point of being the enemy of everyone.

The main reason was the conflict of interest, and the generals of Jiliao and Liaodong regarded the Dongjiang Army as redundant and divided their salaries and rations.

Mao Wenlong also didn't have a good impression of these people, he felt that he was alone with people to support outside the border, and they were all out of the Ming Dynasty, and he killed and injured Jiannu the most, but the military salary and food he received were not even one-tenth of that of Jiliao and Liaodong, why.

"Master Overseer, I'll go and have a look, and I'll also see the magic of Master Wei." Mao Wenlong said with a smile.

Sun Chengzong didn't say anything and nodded.

Jiliao and Liaodong and Liaoxi are a number of military generals, many of whom are veterans who have fought with Jiannu for many years.

Everyone also has such a question, I don't know where Wei Bao's confidence comes from, and he wants to make a fool of himself in front of them.

These people concentrated the most elite military command resources of the Ming Dynasty against Jiannu.

Wu Xiang could have taken the first step with Wei Bao, but he still chose to accompany the team.

Listening to these people keep talking about Wei Bao's rights and wrongs, and saying bad things about Wei Bao, Wu Xiang could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Wu Sanfeng almost couldn't help but reason with others several times, but was stopped by Wu Xiang.

Wu Sanfeng was incompatible with Wei Bao before, but now his relationship with Wei Bao is no less than that of Wu Sanfu and Wu Sangui.

It was nearly dusk that everyone arrived at the ferry outside Shanhaiguan.

The ferry is still dozens of miles away from Shanhaiguan and is a small land and water wharf.

"Where's Master Wei?" Sun Chengzong asked Wei Bao, who was waiting here.

"Our family Master Wei has already taken a big boat, waiting on the sea not far away, please get on board." Wei Bao's follow-up.

This small land and water wharf is now jointly managed by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Wu family.

In fact, the Wu family now occupies a small proportion of commerce in western Liaoning and outside the Guanxi, but they are all involved.

Although the proportion has decreased, the income has increased exponentially, and it is easier to hire less manpower than before.

If there are fewer people, the cost of management will definitely be smaller.

At first, Wu Sanfeng was unwilling, thinking that in the long run, the Wu family could only follow the Heaven and Earth Society to make money.

Wu Xiang also had such concerns, but with the marriage of Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia, the people of the Wu family dispelled this concern.

The marriage relationship is the most unbreakable relationship in this era, and everyone believes that Wei Bao is very good to Wu Xuexia.

Because Wei Bao even wanted to marry Wu Xuexia and Zhang Meiyuan together, Wu Xuexia's family background is not comparable to the daughter of the British government, isn't this enough to explain the problem.

The crowd got on a dozen small boats, and originally planned to take about 200 people to watch the battle, but more than 400 people came.

However, there is no problem, because the treasure ship of the Heaven and Earth Society is large enough.

Wei Bao specially made a large sea ship empty to transport these people watching the battle.

There was no way to stop the boat on the sea, so they had to wait in circles.

After a dozen small boats approached the big boat, everyone climbed up the rope ladder again.

"I've wronged you, the Shanhaiguan Wharf is too small, and the big ship can't pass." Wei Bao said apologetically.

Everyone said a few polite words.

The louder people who spoke ill of Wei Bao before, the more polite they will now be.

They were not afraid that the Wu family would hear it, but in front of Wei Bao, they could feel the boundless murderous aura.

Although Wei Baosheng is chic and handsome, Yushu is in the wind, he looks very kind and easy to get close to.

But since he had the nickname of King Wei Yan, coupled with the data of hundreds of thousands of people who died in Wei Bao's hands, he couldn't help but support Wei Bao's murderous name.

Therefore, the more amiable Wei Bao is now, the more pressure he puts on people.

"Teacher, slow down, slow down, be careful."

When Sun Chengzong climbed up, Wei Bao hurriedly went over in person and worked with several people to drag Sun Chengzong up.

Although Sun Chengzong can't talk about the strength of the chicken, but after all, he is old, even if he rides a horse, he can only ride at a close distance, and if he is far away, it is still a little difficult to climb the rope ladder with his bare hands.

After Sun Chengzong came up, he gasped, nodded to Wei Bao, and said with difficulty: "Xiaobao, this is the ship you prepared for us to watch the battle?" ”

"Well, it's absolutely safe, there are two ships next to it for flank protection, Jiannu doesn't have a sailor, it's impossible to hit our ship." Wei Bao laughed.

"What about your two thousand men? All on this ship? Sun Chengzong asked.

"They are divided into more than a dozen ships, and they have already set out first, how can this ship accommodate two thousand people? Besides, you have to carry a little bit of armament. Wei Bao smiled: "If the teacher is worried about me cheating, you can check the number of people first, definitely no more than two thousand people, and they are all guards of Shanhaiguan." ”

Wei Bao's words were half explained to Sun Chengzong, and half were explained to the generals who kept getting on the ship.

Zu Dashou snorted silently. However, Wei Bao was not exposed.

Everyone knows that Wei Bao must be the elite of the treasure army, and it is impossible to use half of Wu Xiangminfu's guards.

But each family has a certain number of private soldiers and horses, which is what they rely on to survive, so no one will break it.

Moreover, even if it is broken, it is useless, people say that it is a new recruit, and the personnel are in and out, how to verify?

The border army fooled the people who checked the number of soldiers in the imperial court, and they always got the common people to come over and make up for it.

"Lord Wu, it's up to your guards to perform." Sun Chengzong saw that Wu Xiang happened to climb up, so he smiled at Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang smiled embarrassedly, although he hadn't heard Wei Bao's conversation with Sun Chengzong before, but he probably knew what Sun Chengzong meant, so he could only stubbornly say, "I'm afraid I will let the Inspector laugh." ”

"No, how can you make us laugh, you Lord Wu has such a good son-in-law, maybe it will surprise us all." Sun Chengzong smiled.

Everyone laughed along with each other, and the laughter was eager to reveal the irony.

No one dared to provoke with words in front of Wei Bao, and they could only use this exaggerated laugh to express their emotions.

Wei Bao didn't care.

"Xiaobao, when will you start attacking?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"I don't know this, fighting a war is a matter for the people below, I can't write a pen, I can't draw a bow, anyway, I won't go to war myself, it's too dangerous." Wei Bao laughed.

Sun Chengzong didn't know whether Wei Bao refused to tell him the details, or whether he refused to tell him about the armament of the Bao army, so he snorted silently and didn't ask again.

Everyone boarded the ship from midnight until dark.

Although this ship is very large, there is no problem with carrying more than 400 people, but it is impossible to hold a feast for everyone to eat and drink, and there is no such a big place.

If you go to bed at night, everyone can only sit and sleep, and only a few high-ranking officials are qualified to lie down.

Wei Bao had just eaten in the middle of the afternoon, so he didn't let people eat until the evening.

In addition to Wei Bao, Sun Chengzong, Wu Xiang, Gao Di, Liu Chao, Hu Liangfu, and Ji Yong, there are also a few high-ranking generals who are good friends with the Heaven and Earth Society and the Wu family who are qualified to enter the cabin where Wei Bao is located to eat, and the others can only eat cold and dry food, and they can't even drink saliva.

If you want to drink water, you can only go to the water tank and scoop cold water to drink.

Cold dry food is not enough, a person has only one cold nest for a meal, or the coarsest part of Mai Geng.

It belongs to the coarse grains of coarse grains, how to swallow this group of people who are used to enjoying it?

The reason why they all came on an empty stomach was because they were in a hurry, and they all wanted to see the live situation of Wei Bao's fight against Jiannu, and they didn't dare to miss it.

The second is to know that the world will always be wealthy, and Wei Bao is even more generous, saying that their watch group, Wei Bao will definitely 'bribe' them, and dare not snub them, at least they are all big fish and big meat, right?

Who knows if it's such a scene.

One by one, they couldn't help but secretly scold Wei Bao for doing badly.

Among them, the most angry are naturally Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong.

Zu Dashou is also Wu Xuexia's uncle no matter how he says it, and he is actually treated like this.

There is also Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong knows that Wei Bao must know about him and Zhao Kehu, Zhao Kehu's daughter-in-law, and Zhao Jinfeng.

didn't expect that he, as Zhao Jinfeng's biological father, Wei Bao would be so cold to himself.

The reason why Wei Bao is so cold to these people, and he doesn't even prepare wine and meat, is definitely not reluctant to give up a little silver.

Knowing that no matter how you pay, you won't be intimate, and there is an irresolvable conflict of interest, so why bother.

Besides, these people are not good-looking, obviously Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia's wedding, each family sent someone to come, or came in person, but only received less than 100,000 taels of silver gifts.

This made Wei Bao very unhappy!

It's not that he covets those gifts, this is not to give face, he can't be a man, that is, he doesn't plan to promote him Wei Bao.

If you do not exalt me, why should I exalt you?

Wei Bao married Zhang Meiyuan for the first time, and the emperor rewarded him with gold and official positions.

The second time he married a concubine, the emperor still rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold.

Even the emperor is better than these guys.

Zu Dashou threw his nest head into the sea, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Is there such a thing for people to eat?" If you feed the horses, they can't eat these things. ”

Many people immediately learned from Zu Dashou's example, and threw their nests into the sea.

They want to curse, they want to fight.

Although there were only a few dozen Wei Bao's entourages on this ship, no one dared to do it.

No one dares to take the lead.

Zu Dashou was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and he only kicked the railing of the big ship a few times.

Immediately, the people of the treasure army stared at Zu Dashou with fierce eyes.

This time, Wei Bao went to battle, without a woman, only Wu Xuexia alone.

Wu Xuexia endured it and didn't persuade her uncle.

Sun Chengzong sat in the comfortable and warm cabin, looking at the vast sea outside at night, feeling the sway of the boat slowly moving forward, but he enjoyed it.

Wei Bao persuaded him to drink from time to time, saying that he should let Sun Chengzong drink more and have a good rest.

"Xiaobao, you let the old man eat such exquisite food, but neglect those commanders, this is not beautiful." Sun Chengzong said.

"It's very difficult now, and as a general, you should take the lead." Wei Bao said with a smile: "Besides, they are not here to watch the battle. You adults are good friends of mine, and I'm inviting you out of my own pocket, so it's okay. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled and shook his head.

Wu Xiang also felt that Wei Bao was a little stingy in this matter, four hundred people, spending thirty or forty taels of silver can make everyone eat a decent meal, even if there is no wine, it will not let everyone eat the nest head that is difficult for animals to swallow.

However, in front of others, Wu Xiang would not say that he was a son-in-law.

Liu Chao was very happy, and said in a sharp voice: "Lord Wei is right, for the generals, for the court, for the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty to be born and die is a matter of course, busy with pleasure all day long, where there is a war, no wonder there has not been a victory in several years." ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, his face collapsed suddenly, what do you Liu Chao mean, Lao Tzu is the supreme military commander of Jiliao and Liaodong, you are still so polite in front of the old man, what will you eunuchs say when they report to the court and His Majesty, you must have thought about it!

Sun Chengzong snorted heavily: "Xiaobao, I won't eat, let someone arrange a place for me to rest!" ”

"Teacher, can you eat some more? Is the dish not to the teacher's taste? It's all Kanwai dishes, and I also asked people to make a few special dishes of Beizhili, all of which are the hometown flavors of my teacher. Wei Bao laughed.

Sun Chengzong glared at Liu Chao, "Leave it to the villain who can only play tricks on power." ”

"Hey, Elder Sun Ge, are you scolding our family?" Liu Chao is not easy to provoke, whether he can fight or not, Sun Chengzong will not say it first, anyway, he is not afraid of Sun Chengzong.

"I don't know if the old man of this pavilion scolded you, but if you like to be scolded, there is no way for the old man of this pavilion!" Sun Chengzong sneered.

Liu Chao is not afraid of him, and Sun Chengzong is also not afraid of anyone, even now that the emperor is present, Sun Chengzong also wants to scold which one to scold, he is not Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and Xiong Tingbi.

Sun Chengzong has no major bad deeds, he has no handle for people to catch, and as an emperor and a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he can't kill him if he wants to.

"Father-in-law Liu, forget it, people don't fight with dogs! In some positions, you can get results by putting a dog at will, not to mention that you have been doing it for three or four years, and you can't see the head of a hairy slave. Ji Yong's speech became even more scathing, and when he saw Liu Chao being scolded by Sun Chengzong, he immediately got up to help.

In terms of quarrels, all the eunuchs are good hands, not to mention that the big eunuchs are all killed step by step from the bottom, and their level is no worse than that of the cabinet ministers.

Gao Yi saw that the eunuch and Sun Chengzong were going to quarrel, worried that the more noisy it would be, and something would happen, he hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Let's talk less, it's all the fault of the bottom, it's all the fault of the bottom." ”

Wu Xiang and other generals also hurriedly stood up to persuade each other.

Wu Xiang kept glancing at Wei Bao, signaling Wei Bao to persuade him as well.

Wei Bao had no intention of persuading him to fight, although Wei Bao didn't think about letting Sun Chengzong and the eunuch quarrel, and they suddenly quarreled, which was a bit unexpected by Wei Bao.
