The Ming Dynasty unified the country, and the capital of the country was the top priority, and it was an urgent matter. Originally, Xi'an was still used, but the war in the south had just subsided, and the sea was still not peaceful. The threat in the future is still at sea, and if Xi'an is used as the national capital, it will not be a problem.

Leaving Wutai Mountain and returning to Xi'an, along the way, Mao Wenlong discussed with Hong Chengchou countless times. In the end, they still couldn't choose a suitable place as the national capital.

When he arrived in Xi'an, Mao Wenlong did not have a moment of rest, and after he was free that night, he called Hong Chengchou to the imperial study to discuss.

The study was very dull, the two sat opposite each other but did not say a word, after a long time, Mao Wenlong slapped the table abruptly.

Hong Chengchou was startled and almost exclaimed, but Mao Wenlong's voice was faster than him: "It's decided like this, the capital is Nanjing." ”

Rolling his eyes, Hong Chengchou put the little heart that was scared back into his stomach, and said dissatisfiedly: "General soldier, is it necessary to make such a fuss about the capital of Nanjing?" ”

Mao Wenlong also knew that he had overreacted just now, and after apologizing twice, he said: "Nanjing was originally the national capital, and it was close to the sea, and the waterways and seaways were unimpeded. There's no better place to be, and it's on the border between north and south. ”

These words were as if Mao Wenlong was affirming himself, but Hong Chengchou was relieved when he heard this. When he saw Chongzhen back from Wutai Mountain, he was very upset by Mao Wenlong's question along the way. If it weren't for the fact that Mao Wenlong was the first person in the Ming Dynasty today, he wouldn't have the time to accompany him.

"Is it a decision now that the general soldier is like this?" Hong Chengchou was already tortured by Mao Wenlong and was afraid, so he had to ask clearly.

Mao Wenlong was troubled by the three places of Xi'an, Nanjing, and Beiping along the way. Hong Chengchou doesn't care, anyway, there is no Tatar threat in the north now. There is no such scourge as Huang Taiji, and it has been more than three years since the northern peace, and the capital can be anywhere.

It's just that Mao Wenlong has been struggling, and he is thinking about the affairs of the navy. Now that he finally decided, he naturally had to ask clearly, lest he have to regret it again when Mao Wenlong waits.

Mao Wenlong was asked by Hong Chengchou like this, and he did start to hesitate again, but fortunately, this time he seemed to have really thought clearly, and after a long time, he nodded and said: "It's decided, it's in Nanjing." After that, Mr. Law will take care of it. ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong also seriously gave a big gift to Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou seemed to have expected it, he got up suddenly, and then supported Mao Wenlong's bent body.

"The chief soldier has something to order, that is, there is no need to perform this big gift, and the subordinate officials can't afford it." Hong Chengchou's face was full of bitterness, but he had to say it nicely.

Mao Wenlong has always had such a temperament, although Hong Chengchou had a premonition in his heart, he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to be so direct. threw everything on himself with one mouth, Hong Chengchou really couldn't say it.

The culprit didn't have any consciousness at all, Mao Wenlong laughed dryly, and then waved his hand and said: "Yes, yes, let Mr. take on such a heavy responsibility alone, Mao Mou is also unhappy in his heart." But now is the critical moment for the construction of the navy, and there is no delay at all, and you have to worry about it at the same time. ”

Hong Chengchou waved his hand again and again, Mao Wenlong said that this is the part, no matter how big the grievances in his heart are, they have to rot in his stomach.

got rid of Hong Chengchou, and by the way, threw all the things he thought were troublesome on him. Mao Wenlong hummed a little song and left Xi'an overnight. With Adou and Haoda and a thousand dark guards, he rushed to Weihaiwei, who was rushing to build a warship.

Wang Datie was very depressed, he was originally a good blacksmith, but now he has become the first leader in the shipyard. Mao Wenlong also gave him a supervising lieutenant, Wang Datie is destined not to know what this official position is? He was not interested in knowing that there were currently more than 50,000 people in his superintendent, and all of them had to obey him.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen colleges under the Supervision Division, and there are currently more than 10,000 students. These students will become the new blood of the Supervision Department after they have achieved some academic success in the future.

But these are not the things that Wang Datie is depressed about now, what he is depressed about is that Mao Wenlong suddenly asked him to build a hundred of the latest fortune ships within a year.

Fufu ships are not ordinary warships, they are not so easy to build, and they cost a lot of materials. The supply of wood was far from enough, and many shortages made Wang Datie's hair gray.

Now that he heard that the general army was coming, he had been waiting outside the gate of Weihaiwei early, looking forward to it. Finally, a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, and Wang Datie's frowns immediately stretched and tidied up his official uniform.

Mao Wenlong's carriage stopped directly at the gate of Weihaiwei, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw a black shadow coming quickly. When Mao Wenlong looked closely, he found that it was Wang Datie, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Wang Datie, what are you doing in a hurry?" Mao Wenlong immediately snorted coldly.

"Chief soldier, I can look forward to you......" That Zhiwang Datie suddenly hugged Mao Wenlong's thigh and cried.

This scared everyone, and two guards even drew their swords, if it weren't for Mao Wenlong's block. It is estimated that Wang Datie may be dismantled by the guards.

Wang Datie may be really sad, he is crying so much that his snot and saliva rub all over Mao Wenlong's trouser leg. Mao Wenlong was disgusted to death, and kicked Wang Datie away with a force on his foot.

Seeing that Wang Datie was still reluctant to turn over and get up and was about to pounce, Mao Wenlong would not let him get his wish. Directly ordered the guards to hold people down, Wang Datie was controlled, Mao Wenlong came to him, looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "What happened?" ”

Seeing Wang Datie like this, Mao Wenlong was very cold in his heart, thinking that something big had happened?

Wang Datie, who was crying wildly, was finally sobered up by Mao Wenlong's cold drink, he looked at Mao Wenlong blankly for a long time, and then said in a daze: "Chief soldier, the subordinate can't complete the task you gave me!" ”

After speaking, Wang Datie continued to roar and cry, and his miserable appearance was even more tragic than that of his dead father.

Mao Wenlong frowned, he was very dissatisfied, there was no need to cry like this if he couldn't complete the task! Is it necessary for a big man to cry like this? After despising Wang Datie fiercely in his heart, Mao Wenlong cleaned up his mood and asked calmly: "Why can't you complete the task, isn't it just about building a hundred lucky ships in a year!" ”
