Chapter 782: Naval Base (Page 1/1)

At the port of Nanjing, two merchant ships slowly left the port and sailed into the vast sea. Mao Wenlong and Chengzuo stood on the deck of the bow of the ship, looking at the blue sky and blue sea, and they were in a very comfortable mood. Mao Wenlong suddenly sighed: "Look at this endless sea, the imperial court is so laissez-faire, sitting on such a mountain of gold and silver, but turning a blind eye, it is really regrettable!" ”

Cheng Zuo laughed with him: "Doesn't this just make us pick up a good bargain?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head: "What is cheap?" What we have today is all fought down little by little, and how much effort and the lives of the soldiers have been put in to achieve today's achievements. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Zuo was stunned for a moment, put away his smiling face, and said seriously: "What the general soldier said is extremely true, the northern sea area is something that we have worked so hard to fight, not given by the imperial court. ”

Mao Wenlong turned around and looked at Chengzuo and nodded: "It's good to know, don't care too much." Let's go back, there are still a few days before we arrive in Guangdong, take the opportunity to take a good rest. ”

Cheng Zuo nodded silently, and then returned to the cabin with Mao Wenlong.

The merchant ship continues to sail and heads for Guangdong!

A few days later, Zhu Yihai in Foshan began to become anxious, originally confident that Mao Wenlong would definitely send the navy to help, but after more than ten days, Mao Wenlong had no news, which made Zhu Yihai less and less confident.

In the afternoon, not long after he had a full meal, Zhu Yihai was discussing with Qing Huaiwu and others in the lobby how to deal with the retaliation of other merchants. At this time, he unexpectedly got a report, saying that Mao Wenlong was visiting, and he was outside the house at the moment!

The news came too suddenly, and I didn't expect that Mao Wenlong would come in person. After a short period of stunned, Zhu Yihai didn't say a word, and immediately got up and went to the outside of the house to greet him.

When a dozen or so people came to the outside of the mansion, they saw Mao Wenlong dressed in civilian clothes, followed by Hao Da Hao Xiao and Cheng Zuo, and a few guards in strong suits.

Zhu Yihai immediately showed a bright smile, and laughed: "Chief soldier, I didn't expect you to come in person, hurry up and follow this king to the mansion to rest!" ”

Mao Wenlong could see that Zhu Yihai's smile was sincere, not polite to himself. He also bowed his hand to apologize, and then walked into the mansion with Zhu Yihai. Sitting down in the lobby one after another, Zhu Yihai said: "This king has not been able to wait for the news of the general army, which makes this king's original firm confidence begin to waver, and he is already wondering if the general soldier does not plan to help this king?" ”

After a pause, Zhu Yihai smiled again: "I didn't expect the general soldier to come in person, it seems that this king is still a small intestine and chicken belly, and the villain is in his mind." ”

After Mao Wenlong heard this, he smiled and said: "The prince is serious, it's not that there are many trivial matters in Xi'an, and it can't be arranged for a while, so it will be delayed for a while." ”

Zhu Yihai's honesty, Mao Wenlong is still quite satisfied, after all, if he doesn't say it, Mao Wenlong will definitely not investigate these boring things. Now that Zhu Yihai told him in person, it was obvious that he had no shame in his heart and dared to be so straightforward.

This is exactly where Mao Wenlong admires Zhu Yihai, and working with such a person, Mao Wenlong doesn't have to worry about being plotted behind his back.

"It's an honor for the general soldier not to worry about this king!"

Zhu Yihai thanked him, and then said: "The general army has come all the way, and it is tiring all the way, presumably it should be very difficult, or we will rest for a day first, and we will talk again tomorrow." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and smiled: "No need, this general soldier came by sea this time, and he didn't feel tired." ”

Zhu Yihai was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked: "The chief soldier has already come over with the navy?" ”

Mao Wenlong said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, the Dongjiang Navy is no longer enough to protect the waters of the North Sea, and it is impossible to divide troops to come." And this is the reason why the general soldier came to Guangdong in person, and some things need to be negotiated with the prince in person. ”

Zhu Yihai was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was a little lost: "If you can't divide the troops, how should you deal with the Japanese in Guangdong?" ”

All along, Zhu Yihai looked forward to the arrival of the Dongjiang Army and Navy, and then to fight the Japanese in Guangdong. As long as the matter of the Japanese is resolved, there will be no other forces in Guangdong that can confront him, and everything will be solved.

But now I heard that Mao Wenlong didn't lead the navy at all, and the greater the expectation, the more painful the disappointment, if it weren't for Zhu Yihai's ability to bear it in his heart, it is estimated that he would have lost his temper.

Mao Wenlong had been paying attention to Zhu Yihai's expression, and at this moment, he knew the loss in his heart, so he no longer had anything to hide, and simply said bluntly: "This time, the general soldier came here in person to discuss with the prince how to deal with the Japanese here. Although the Dongjiang Navy can't come, it's not without other ways. ”

When Zhu Yihai heard this, he immediately came to his senses: "Chief soldier, please speak." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Guangdong's sea lanes are now under the control of the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese who have been entrenched here for many years will not be easily eliminated. The Dongjiang Army and Navy were not familiar with the situation here, and it must have been unlucky to come here. Therefore, after consulting with the generals under his command, the general army found a compromise solution. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "It is to rebuild the navy here in Guangdong, and this requires the strong support of the prince. ”

"Building a Navy ......" Zhu Yihai was very surprised!

"Yes, Guangdong is not as good as the north, and there are few suitable people to recruit sailors in the north. It is different here in Guangdong, who are familiar with the water nature and run the sea and run the boat, so if you recruit sailors here, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Mao Wenlong explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhu Yihai nodded in agreement: "What the general soldier said is reasonable, since this is the case, there is nothing to say." Everything obeys the orders of the commander-in-chief, and how the king needs to cooperate with it, please do not hesitate to give orders. ”

Mao Wenlong was not polite, and even said: "I don't know if there is any place here in Foshan that can be used as a naval camp and a place to train naval forces?" ”

Zhu Yihai didn't say a word, and immediately ordered someone to call Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo.

When the two came to the lobby, they were very surprised to see Mao Wenlong present, and then they were quite embarrassed. After all, the two of them were still Fu Wang's subordinates before, and they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong seemed to see through the thoughts of the two, and said with a smile: "You are still uncomfortable with the past? ”

Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo glanced at each other, and the two immediately bowed their hands and said, "The villain doesn't dare." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "No matter what happened before, now that you have returned to the prince, you should abandon the past and treat the future with the current heart." ”

Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo didn't dare to disobey at all, and the two immediately surrendered again: "The general soldier has to teach him a lesson!" ”

Seeing that no matter how long-winded they were, these two people won't be able to change for a while. Mao Wenlong simply didn't say anything more, and got down to business: "Do you know what place here in Foshan can be used to build a naval camp?" ”
