"Okay, I won't take it with me, what are you going to do in Zhancheng?"

"Yes, if you don't take it with you, what are you going to do overseas. The day before yesterday, the emperor and I had a drink and a night talk. I've always felt that you are bolder than me, and I can't imagine that you are more cowardly than me. ”

Ma Du picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, "I am not the emperor's adopted son and not the emperor's son, you are all afraid in your hearts, why should I be afraid." ”

"Okay, it's because you have the foresight to do it, even if you want to go, you don't need to run far, Zhancheng is a good place to be richer than Annan, in the future, you and my brothers will be neighbors and defend each other, no one can help it, if I change to someone else, I am not happy."

"Look at you, you are complacent, like the chicken and tile dog that occupies the city, and the emperor didn't tell you that I can't get out of the Ming Dynasty with the caged bird now?"

Mu Ying was slightly stunned, buried her head and took two bites of barbecue and said: "If this is the case, then it is even more important to leave a way back for the baby, no matter what kind of blessed land Dongshengzhou is, it is better not to put eggs in one basket." After I stabilized Annam, let Xiao Xiangshui borrow 20,000 men from Shuixi and go south with my army, and then attack from the flank of the sea and seize the city is not a difficult task. ”

Ma Du stood up and waved, "If that's the case, then I'll thank you for your uncle first." ”

That night, the two of them drank until they were drunk and finally fell asleep, and stayed at Ma's house for several days, Lao Zhu suddenly ordered him to return to Yunnan, and allowed him to take a large number of new firearms from the Firearms Bureau.

Ma Du personally went to the dock to see him off, and joked to Bi Lin: "Remember to protect your Uncle Mu on the way, don't let him be robbed by the water bandits in Dongting Lake." Bi Lin originally planned to take the boat to the sea to practice, and when she knew that Mu Ying was back in Yunnan, she insisted on sending him to Hunan.

Mu Ying laughed and said: "With Bi Lin escorting me, I will naturally rest assured all the way, if I hold the water bandit, I will have to bother you." ”

Bi Lin smiled wryly: "Uncle Mo is going to make fun of his niece, and on the way, he will ask you for advice on the ability to lead soldiers to fight." ”

"Then you are looking for the wrong person, when it comes to fighting, you have to count your future father-in-law, he is the first-class general, and the uncle is only a third-rate."

Sambo got off the board, "Stepfather is ready to sail at any time." ”

Mu Ying nodded and reached out to pat Ma Du's arm, "I'm going, I don't know when we'll see each other again, Xuanzhong must take care!" ”

"I'm worried about you, the battle takes a lot of effort and effort before you have to take care of your body, as long as you live, you will see each other again."

"Well, there will be a date later!" Mu Ying threw up his hand and got on the boat.

"Regret is there!" Madu returned the favor.

"Daddy, the child sent Uncle Mu and went directly to Penghu, if this trip goes well, I will set off for Dongshengzhou when I come back?"

Ma Du said with a smile: "What you decide, Dad has no reason not to support it, and when you come back from Penghu, the ship, materials and manpower are guaranteed to be properly prepared for you." ”

Naturally, the things promised to the daughter must be done, the ship supplies are easy to do, this manpower is the most important thing, and it is not easy to find people who are both reliable and useful.

What I thought was the most difficult thing to do was much easier than I imagined, and it can be described as a surging crowd. As soon as the news was released, first the guards at home lacked eyes and arms, and did not have a family, saying that they were willing to follow, and some of the younger ones also sent their children to sign up.

Lao Zhang patted a boy with a fluted head and a brain, "Grandpa, this is the fifth child of my family, who looks strong and has good hands." Do you want to let him follow the eldest lady as a personal soldier? ”

"Lao Zhang, I can tell you clearly, this Dongshengzhou is 20,000 miles away, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back for the rest of your life, and you are willing to do it?"

"Grandpa is willing to have the pearl in his palm, why can't I give up the sheep dung and eggs at home, this baby is not good at studying and has no interest in causing trouble all day long, it is better to let him follow the eldest lady to break through!"

The children of the guard family are loyal and reliable, Ma Du has no reason not to accept it, and sent Lao Zhang away and Lao Cui again, patting his grandson, "This baby has been working with the family fleet for two years, and his father said that there was a risk on the ship and came back." If I want to say that there is no risk in doing anything, I will choke to death if I eat. Let him follow the eldest lady to the sea, it will definitely be useful. ”

After sending Lao Cui away, three more donkeys came, "Grandpa, this is my brother, he is clever and diligent, it's okay for him to run an errand for the eldest lady...... You know, you may never see each other for the rest of your life. This is like doing business, if you don't pay the capital, you will not see the profit, when the government employs people, we tenants do not follow the capital, how can we benefit in the future! ”

"Fuck there's only one belly left to do business."

"Grandpa praised it falsely, how do I know any business experience, I don't always follow your footprints, I haven't lost money over the years."

After registering his brother, the three donkeys left proudly, and when he saw Zhang Wuliu who was sitting in the gatehouse eating watermelon, he couldn't help asking: "I said Brother Wuliu, you are the long-term entourage of Master Hou, and your Mid-Autumn Festival should go with you." ”

Zhang Wuliu popped out the nose boogers that he picked out, "I don't go to the Mid-Autumn Festival, he is the little son's person!" ”

The third donkey sighed and said, "I think the little boy's deal is not as profitable as the young lady's." ”

Almost every tenant in the family sent manpower, and if there was only one son in the family, he sent his daughter, saying that he would be a maid for Bilin. Not everyone has the vision of three donkeys, they are more out of trust.

In addition to the tenants and guards at home, there are also surrounding merchants, ranging from butchers who set up stalls to sell meat to wealthy merchants with huge family assets, and what Ma Du didn't expect the most was that there were two students from the academy, because they took Ma Du's navigation class and longed for the vast sea and the distant mysterious continent.

Xungui's enthusiasm was even more beyond imagination, and Guo Ying directly sent a long list of his two sons, along with two hundred guards and family members.

"Don't you have 2,000 savages in Luzon to catch gold and pearls for you, which is not enough for your expenses, and you have to be willing to let your son go to sea?"

Guo Ying shook his head and sighed: "Who is willing, but I have ten more sons than you, everyone has to buy an inheritance, and there are nine daughters who want a dowry, so what should I do." ”

"Who can blame this, you worked less at the beginning, how can you have these troubles."

"It's all raw, it's hard to stuff it back. I have enough money, and when the time comes, neither Jinshan nor Yinhai will have my share! Don't blame me for not reminding you, Feng Shengjia's ship went to sea two months ago, and he didn't go to Nanyang at all, and went directly to Jinshan in Dongshengzhou, I bet on you, don't let me down! ”

Guo Ying is not the only one who has high hopes for Ma Du, but also Deng Yu, Wang Guangyang and others, and Liao Yongan has to say that the capital is the largest.

Because he was imprisoned by Zhang Shicheng for ten years in his early years, he left the root of his illness, and when he was old, he came to the door with all kinds of messy problems, and now he can only sit in a wheelchair, and he has to breathe for a long time after saying a few words.

The same long list came to Mado's eyes, "Look, there are two grandchildren of my brother's family, and fifteen hundred guards, dependents, and servants, and two large ships...... cough cough cough ......"

"Lao Liao, you are not going to sea to make a fortune, you are moving your family!"

"Ahem, cough......" Liao Yongan spit a mouthful of old phlegm to the ground, "That's right, I didn't plan to let them come back, it's enough to leave a few servants and family members to serve me." You've found a way back for yourself, shouldn't I be prepared, they all think it's going to be over, I think it's just about to start...... cough cough cough ......"

In the dense forest deep in Fangshan, there are also people who are actively preparing, Gu Zifeng tied a small cloth burden to his body, "This seat is going to go out of the far door, and if you are fast, you will return slowly at the end of the year, you must live here and watch your home." ”

Shinemon sent a small bag of dry food to Gu Zifeng, "I don't know where the Ho King is going, why don't you bring the slave and maid with you, it's convenient to serve." ”

"Don't ask, don't ask, it's inconvenient for you to take care of you in Fangshan." Gu Zifeng took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, "These are enough for you to take in February next year, according to the old rules, take one on the first and fifteenth days of the first month of the month." Don't try to run away, or you'll die of a terrible death! "Fupin Chinese
