Li Dahai suddenly felt compassion, directly dismissed all the remaining subordinates, and then stayed in the mansion with a few family soldiers.

When the Dongjiang army rushed in, only the bodies of Li Dahai and a few family soldiers were found. And all of his men had already surrendered.

Mao Wenlong came to the scene in person, and after seeing Li Dahai's body, he ordered Haosheng to be buried in him, and his family and his subordinates were no longer pursued.

The last Dingzhou city fell, which means that the last city of the entire Ming Dynasty has been recovered. Mao Wenlong has completed the great wish of the unification of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is a jade seal sent by Chongzhen, and Mao Jingwen, the emperor, has deserved his name.

In the study in the backyard of the mansion, Hong Chengchou was full of spring breeze, looking at the map of Daming spread on the table, he smiled toothlessly.

"Is it necessary for the gentleman to be so happy?" Mao Wenlong couldn't look at it, and immediately interrupted Hong Chengchou's dream.

"Chief soldier, isn't this worth rejoicing? Daming is now a great unification! Hong Chengchou's words were full of emotion.

Indeed, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years, and it was not until the emergence of Mao Wenlong that the current new situation was created. How much bitterness has been experienced in the middle, Hong Chengchou, the founding father, is clear.

"Happy...... It is indeed worth rejoicing! Hearing Hong Chengchou's question, Mao Wenlong also became emotional.

But the emotion did not last long, Mao Wenlong knew that the restoration of the Ming Dynasty now did not mean that the world was peaceful like this. It is not difficult to fight the country, but the difficult thing is how to keep this foundation, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will soon be separated sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong sighed lightly and smiled bitterly at Hong Chengchou: "Mr. is happy now, it's a little early." ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, frowned and said, "Why did the chief soldier say this? ”

Mao Wenlong didn't say much, turned around and walked to the door, opened the door and pointed to the mess all over the ground after the war outside, and said, "Sir, why don't you look at the scene outside!" ”

Hong Chengchou's face was full of confusion, but he didn't make any rebuttal, he came to the door according to his words, looked outside for a while, but still couldn't understand what Mao Wenlong meant.

After hesitating for a moment, Hong Chengchou still opened his mouth to ask Mao Wenlong for advice: "What does the chief soldier mean?" ”

Mao Wenlong paused for a moment before he explained: "Don't you think that the current Ming Dynasty, especially the situation in the entire south, is like this?" ”

At this point, Hong Chengchou reacted immediately, but he was not angry, but laughed and said: "The chief soldier is worried about this!" Actually, there is no need, now our north is completely stable, and the regime is very stable. Everything is in order, and then we just need to copy the experience of the regime in the north, and I believe that we will soon be able to calm down the south. ”

Mao Wenlong listened to Hong Chengchou's head-to-head truth, and he was not easy to refute, anyway, he was not most concerned about the affairs of the regime. Mao Wenlong can do it himself, but when it comes to governance, Mao Wenlong knows that he is not this material. Fortunately, now that his son Mao Jingwen has become the emperor, and with the assistance of a virtuous minister like Hong Chengchou, he will definitely be good in the future.

"Then there is Mr. Law!" Mao Wenlong smiled and bowed to Hong Chengchou.

"The total number of soldiers must not be." Hong Chengchou was startled, and hurriedly held Mao Wenlong's waist that was about to bend down.

Mao Wenlong was not hypocritical, he took advantage of the situation to straighten his waist and said with a smile: "As long as Mr. is sure, my focus will be completely on the sea from now on." The threat of the Ming Dynasty will come from the vast sea, and we must build a strong navy to ensure the integrity of our Ming territory! ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't figure it out, and now the matter on land has not been completely resolved. Mao Wenlong began to worry about things at sea again, which is typical of putting the cart before the horse.

After thinking for a long time, Hong Chengchou still felt that he had to enlighten Mao Wenlong, he bowed to Mao Wenlong, and said in a deep voice: "Chief soldier, can this matter on the sea be postponed for another year or two, besides, now the Daming Sea is calm and calm, and it is completely under the control of our Dongjiang Army." There is absolutely no need to rush to build more navies. ”

Daming has been in turmoil for all these years, and now it is finally unified, and it is the time to recover with all its might, and money and materials are in urgent need. However, Mao Wenlong wanted to increase the construction of the navy at this time, so that a large amount of materials would inevitably be divided by Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong seemed to see Hong Chengchou's thoughts at a glance, and he smiled and said, "Is Mr. calculating money and materials?" ”

Hong Chengchou was pierced by a word, but he, the old fox, was calm and said unhurriedly: "Don't hide it from the general soldier, that's exactly the truth." ”

Mao Wenlong chuckled again: "If this is the reason, then Mr. doesn't have to worry about it at all." Mao's money and materials to build the navy will never ask you. ”

Hong Chengchou will be skeptical: "This is true." ”

gave Hong Chengchou a positive look, and Mao Wenlong said firmly: "It's hard to chase after a word." ”

After hesitating for a while, Hong Chengchou's old face showed a smile: "Then we are sure that if the general army really does not need to ask for money and food from the treasury, then there is nothing to worry about." ”

"But ......"

Hong Chengchou then paused again, and the thief smiled and said, "Can the chief soldier reveal that if you don't take money and grain from the treasury, then where does this money and grain come from?" You know, this is not a small amount. ”

Looking at Hong Chengchou, who had become a curious baby in front of him, Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this, Mr. will naturally send it." ”

However, Hong Chengchou did not seem to give up, he knew that building a navy would require astronomical amounts of money, food and materials. Today, if the entire Ming treasury is open to Mao Wenlong, it may not be satisfied.

can see that Mao Wenlong is so confident, Hong Chengchou has to wonder if there are still people in this world who can be rich and rival the country?

"Can't even trust me?" Hong Chengchou saw that the soft one was not good, and immediately came to the hard one.

Mao Wenlong directly replied to him with a roll of his eyes, and said helplessly: "This person is actually not a mysterious person, Mr. Ouyang should remember, right?" ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and he said with suspicion: "Ouyang family? How can it be? ”

Mao Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't you know, Mr., now the Ouyang family's business route in the north has been completely opened. And with our navy escorting him, his family is now the number one merchant in the northern sea. I have made an agreement with the Ouyang family that in the future, the silver taels needed for the construction of the navy must be paid by their family. ”

Hong Chengchou still didn't believe it: "Even if the Ouyang family really makes money, it is impossible to supply the construction of the navy." ”
