Chapter 960: Hanoi Fengyun
Thanh Hoa Shuai's Mansion!
"What, you said that all ten generals were assassinated and killed overnight......" Wu Zhi was immediately taken aback when he received the messenger's report.
"Yes, Dashuai, originally we also suspected that it was Nangong Xianming. But at that time, he was also attacked by assassins, and it was Li Erhu who desperately protected him. Later, we also found the body of the Assassin, which proved to be from the Kirin Pirates. The messenger replied in a deep voice.
"Damn the Qilin Pirate Group, you actually dare to do it to your grandfather." Wu Zhi let out an angry roar.
With a hideous face, he also did not suspect that this was Nangong Xianming's doing. After all, nearly 100 of the generals' personal guards witnessed it with their own eyes, and there was no evidence to prove that it was Nangong Xianming. So Wu Zhi didn't suspect him, but directly regarded the Qilin Pirate Group as the murderer.
"Marshal, should we gather a large army to fight now? The general's death can't be counted like this, please order the commander to immediately send troops to attack the Qilin pirate group and avenge our general. The messenger suddenly became excited, and knelt directly in front of Wu Zhi with a plop, and shouted for his life.
Wu Zhi was silent, and after thinking deeply, he nodded and said, "It is necessary to attack the Qilin Pirate Group, you go back now and inform everyone, and stay put." Three days later, the commander himself will lead the troops over, and you will do what you are told. ”
The messenger was overjoyed, and after thanking Wu Zhi, he hurriedly retreated and left.
Wu Zhi didn't delay for a moment, and immediately shouted loudly, and directly ordered the other nine henchmen to immediately start assembling troops and horses.
The chaos in Hanoi did not arouse the idea of the Dongjiang Army, and Mao Wenlong completed the purpose of training the troops and led the army back to Qiongzhou Prefecture. Mao Jingwen was commended and affirmed for his outstanding performance in this battle against the ground.
Chen Jisheng was very disdainful, and the blind could see that this time it was actually Mao Jingwen's luck. The blind cat encounters a dead mouse, and a soft persimmon can be pinched, so that there is such a record now.
In the naval battle, the two sides were originally equal in strength, with more than 100 warships each. Although Mao Jingwen's side said that the artillery was sharp and there were hot air balloons to assist, but in such a situation, if he wanted to sink nearly seventy enemy ships, it was almost impossible.
After all, the other party is the emperor, no matter how dissatisfied he Chen Jisheng is, he still has to give some face. There is nothing to be ashamed of when a courtier loses to the emperor, so when Mao Wenlong commended Mao Jingwen, Chen Jisheng's old subordinates did not show anything wrong.
Mao Wenlong stretched out his hand to pat his son, who was about to catch up with his height, and said with a smile: "Wen'er, before you know it, you have grown up, and you will be a man in the future." My father has been outside for a long time, and you are the only man left in the family, so you have to take good care of the family. ”
Mao Jingwen showed a sincere smile, the father in front of him is not much away from each other, and he may be together for less than ten days throughout the year. grew up under Hong Chengchou's strict teaching, and his father never talked to him about such common words.
After a little adaptation, Mao Jingwen responded: "Father, please rest assured, the son will take care of his family." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said solemnly: "A man should be responsible, you are not only the king of a country but also the pillar of the family, the burden is not light, but it can also hone you." ”
Solemnly saluted, Mao Jingwen arched his hand and responded: "Yes, father!" ”
"Okay, let's all go down and rest, and tomorrow morning you will set sail and return to Nanjing." In the past six months, I believe you should know a lot about things at sea. Mao Wenlong chuckled.
"Son's resignation!" Mao Jingwen smiled back, then turned to leave.
After sending Mao Jingwen away, Mao Wenlong turned to look at Chen Jisheng and the others who were hanging their children, and said with a cold smile: "Have you ever been convinced this time?" ”
Chen Jisheng pursed his lips and responded: "Chief soldier, the emperor is indeed both civil and military, and he is scheming. It's just that this time the emperor won, but it was mostly a matter of luck. The pirates of Hanoi were too second, and we had just fought them, but they were the first to fight back, which caused our record to be reduced. ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled: "Then you are very wrong, the general soldier just received a report that the pirates of Hanoi have been completely led by two pirate groups. It can be said that instead of weakening the strength of the pirates, you have contributed to the true unity there. ”
Chen Jisheng was very surprised, he exclaimed: "How is it possible, when we fought over, we directly razed their lair to the ground......
At this point, Chen Jisheng suddenly stopped, and he also found that something was wrong at the moment. When the Dongjiang Army reached Hanoi, there was almost no obstacle along the way, which was also the reason why Chen Jisheng and his team did not get any results.
Chen Qiyu also reacted at this time, he glanced at Chen Jisheng, and asked Mao Wenlong for his life: "Please give us another chance to be the chief soldier, let us lead the troops over again, and completely pacify these pirates." ”
Lost face and threw it to grandma's house, such a thing was actually encountered by them, veterans of the battlefield. Chen Qiyu and Chen Jisheng couldn't swallow this breath.
Mao Wenlong's expression suddenly became indifferent, he shook his head and sneered: "No need, there will be a scuffle there at any time." If nothing else, news will arrive in three days, and you can wait with peace of mind, and it is not too late to make plans when you have the results. ”
Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu were unwilling, but Mao Wenlong had already spoken, and they couldn't say more.
Subsequently, Mao Wenlong also asked Chen Jisheng and others to go down to rest, leaving only Chengzuo, Adou, Haoda, and Haoxiao by his side.
Adou rarely took the initiative to ask Mao Wenlong to fight, but this time he made an exception, after making eye contact with Cheng Zuo. Adou bowed his hand to Mao Wenlong and said, "Chief soldier, do you want our Marine Battalion to show your hand?" ”
Mao Wenlong raised his eyes and looked at Adou: "The Marine Battalion has only been training for less than three months, so it will be too urgent to ask for war." ”
Adou replied confidently: "Please rest assured that the Marine Battalion is composed of the best in the army, and their actual combat and experience are one in a thousand." ”
Hearing Adou say this, Mao Wenlong felt that it made sense, and after a pause, he nodded and promised: "Okay, then I will give you a chance to fight." ”
Hearing this, Adou was overjoyed and thanked him: "Please rest assured, the Marine Battalion will not disappoint the commander." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded: "This mission doesn't need to kill many pirates, after all, we can't reach it, and we don't need to eradicate the pirates there until we can't occupy it." ”
Adou paused slightly, and asked inexplicably: "What does the chief soldier ......mean?"
"I need you to find out, is there a Nangong Xianming in those pirates? If he is still alive, there is no mercy! Mao Wenlong indifferently instructed Adou.
