Chapter 925: Out to Sea

Mao Wenlong stayed with his family in the harem for ten days, and early on the morning of the eleventh day, he received a report that the nine generals had led their subordinates to arrive at the Nanjing dock.

Reluctantly said goodbye to his family, left Gentle Township, and continued to embark on the journey. Leaving this time, Mao Wenlong didn't know when he would be able to come back.

The problem of recruiting the navy has been solved, but he understands that more difficult things are still waiting for him. Chen Jisheng and these people don't know anything about the sea after all, how to fight and the training of those soldiers and horses are very important things.

Qiongzhou Mansion became the place where Mao Wenlong set up his training camp, in addition to its unique geographical location. He attaches more importance to the natural conditions there, and if he wants the army to become a naval army, the most critical issue is to train them in water. Although this is the most basic requirement, it is also the most difficult.

Yang Fan went to sea, 100,000 soldiers and horses, more than 200 warships, and left in a mighty way. Hong Chengchou took a little time to come to see him off, but there was never a smile on his old face.

Mao Wenlong patted his ass and left, but left him with a big and difficult problem to solve. 100,000 soldiers and horses is nothing to the current Dongjiang Army of the entire Ming Dynasty?

The only thing that made Hong Chengchou embarrassed was that most of the 100,000 soldiers and horses who were taken away by Mao Wenlong were small elites in the garrisons around the country. And most of them are the personal guards of the generals, and these people are the leaders of the garrisons in various places. With so many people gone all of a sudden, Hong Chengchou was naturally anxious.

The blue sea is always desirable, the deep sea water is like a mirror, and the sea without the slightest pollution is always desirable.

Mao Wenlong made a reclining chair, lay leisurely on the bow of the deck, looked at the blue sea and blue sky, and tasted wine, so comfortable!

He's comfortable, but someone is in trouble. Chen Jisheng, these landlubbers, began to feel unwell soon after they got on the boat. The vomiting up and down is considered light, and some guys just fainted.

Only half a day after the fleet set sail, Mao Wenlong received reports one after another, saying that half of the personnel had vomited unconscious.

Mao Wenlong didn't pay attention to these people, let alone have any sympathy. To build these people into a powerful water army, this little torture is nothing at present?

There were bursts of vomiting sound on the deck from time to time, but Mao Wenlong ignored it, still tasting his wine contentmently.

Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu finally couldn't hold it back, united together, and walked in front of Mao Wenlong. Chen Jisheng opened his mouth to plead with Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, can you stop first so that the big guys can take a breath." ”

The stop that Chen Jisheng was referring to was naturally to temporarily stop the warship from advancing, because few of them boarded the ship and went to sea, and they had been shaken up and down by the wind and waves of the open sea.

Looking at the nine generals who were looking at him with anticipation, Mao Wenlong chuckled: "It's impossible to stop, if you can't even stand this test, then I still advise you to die as soon as possible, roll up and get out!" ”

Chen Qiyu and Chen Jisheng were very embarrassed when they heard this. And the other seven people in the distance also had unwilling expressions.

After looking at Mao Wenlong for a while, Chen Jisheng couldn't hold back another churn in his stomach, he turned his head and ran to the side of the boat, opening his mouth to squirt.

Although Chen Qiyu is better than Chen Jisheng, the paleness of his face is obviously not much better. Everyone is still in pain and trying their best to endure it, but no one has ever pleaded with Mao Wenlong again. And no one can opt out.

Killing the enemy on land, thousands of troops and horses broke through, and they bent down after a single trip to sea. Such things that insult the prestige of each man will be spread out, and their prestige will be ruined in the future.

Looking at the nine generals who were still vomiting in the distance, Mao Wenlong's face finally showed a satisfied smile. Landlubbers go to sea for the first time and will always experience this situation.

Mao Wenlong knows that only if they survive this hurdle can they truly make a name for themselves at sea in the future. And those who can't survive this voyage can also be directly cleared. The test is the reason why Mao Wenlong deliberately let everyone get on board this time.

The pain continued, and after five days, the fleet finally docked at the Guangzhou dock. After docking, Mao Wenlong allowed everyone to go ashore and rest for the day.

And during this five-day voyage, there were still more than 2,000 people who could not stand the waves at sea. chose to withdraw from Guangzhou, Mao Wenlong did not have any resistance, he agreed very happily, and each of them gave a lot of silver taels, so that they each returned to their original places to be officials.

The test of 100,000 people, but in the end, only more than 2,000 people were not suitable, and this ratio still made Mao Wenlong very satisfied. Especially Chen Jisheng and the nine of them, after the five-day voyage, they have basically adapted to it.

When night fell, Mao Wenlong directly held a banquet on the dock to reward the whole army. All the soldiers cheered, burying the pot and making rice to make it so lively.

The prefect of Guangzhou is a little old man, with a round fat face often with a gentle smile and kind eyes. Judging from the face alone, this prefect is definitely a good official.

Jiang Tianxing is the name of the prefect, and the city of Guangzhou has been restored to 7788 since it was sacked by the Japanese pirates. Not to mention that he has made outstanding achievements, but he has indeed made a lot of contributions.

This time, I heard that Mao Wenlong led his troops to pass through Guangzhou, and he was going to recuperate here for two days. Jiang Tianxing prepared the grain early and spent the last grain of rice in the treasury to celebrate the arrival of the navy.

Picking up a large bowl of wine, Jiang Tianxing saluted Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, the lower officer wishes you a smooth journey." ”

Very bold, Jiang Tianxing did not hesitate at all, raised his head and directly dried the wine in the bowl.

Mao Wenlong didn't put any shelves, he also picked up the bowl and drank a bowl with him. Then he laughed and said, "Governor Jiang, the chief soldier has heard about your affairs." Guangzhou Fucheng can quickly recover to its current appearance under your care, and you have indeed contributed a lot. ”

After drinking a large bowl of wine, Jiang Tianxing will have a little bit of wine. He is originally a northerner, his personality is bold, and coupled with the upsurge of alcohol, he is even more debauched. He hugged his fists and laughed: "The chief soldier has won the award, although the subordinate officer does have some credit, but it is definitely not as the chief soldier said." ”

Mao Wenlong's face turned cold unexpectedly, and his voice also became cold: "Governor Jiang, don't be happy yet, this general soldier has heard some other rumors in the market." And these rumors seem to be very unfavorable to you, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation later, otherwise don't blame General Ben for being ruthless! ”
