Chapter 781: A Blessing and a Curse (Page 1/1)

The changes brought by the navy to the north are real, and Hong Chengchou is happy in his eyes, and he has never stopped Mao Wenlong from investing a large sum of money in the navy.

But at this time, Mao Wenlong said that the naval strength was far from enough, so Hong Chengchou had nothing to think about. After some deep thought, Hong Chengchou shrugged his shoulders: "There is no way for the lower officials, this matter has to be handled by the chief soldier himself." ”

Obviously, Hong Chengchou was telling Mao Wenlong that if he really couldn't divide the troops, he would directly refuse Zhu Yihai's request for help, and everything would be fine. In the final analysis, Hong Chengchou made an alliance with Zhu Yihai without consulting Mao Wenlong with him before, and he would divide the north and south with him in the future. This matter made Hong Chengchou not very happy, in his opinion, Mao Wenlong is completely unnecessary like this, in the future, the development of the north will be stable, and the south is not yet handy, so why should the south be handed over to Zhu Yihai?

Mao Wenlong faced Hong Chengchou's scoundrel face, he was also quite distressed, he had previously told Hong Chengchou that after the alliance between himself and Zhu Yihai, the two had already had an unhappy situation. Now that these days have passed, it seems that Hong Chengchou is still obsessed with this matter.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that this time Lahong Chengchou came to discuss, he was asking for trouble. After a pause, he asked Hong Chengchou to go about his business, saying that he had to think about it.

Hong Chengchou didn't say much, he wished that Mao Wenlong couldn't think of a way, and finally directly rejected Zhu Yihai's request.

Seeing Hong Chengchou leave in a hurry, Mao Wenlong shouted and ordered him to immediately call Chengzuo to come and meet him. Hao Da gave up his order, said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Two days later, Cheng Zuo hurried over from Nanjing, and when he heard Mao Wenlong's urgent summons, he thought something big had happened?

"Chief soldier ......" Cheng Zuo bowed his hand.

"Needless to say, listen to me."

Mao Wenlong directly interrupted Cheng Zuo, and then said: "Now in the North Sea, are there frequent pirates?" ”

Cheng Zuo pondered for a moment before replying: "Since the last time I suffered a big loss in Nanjing, the Japanese have rarely appeared in Beihai. Only a few sneaky pirates came to inquire about the situation. ”

"So, the North Sea is still relatively calm now?" Hearing this, Mao Wenlong's heart relaxed a lot.

Cheng Zuo nodded: "Yes." ”

Mao Wenlong then asked: "Then is it possible to divide half of the navy now and go to Guangdong to assist Zhu Yihai in fighting against the Japanese invaders?" ”

Cheng Zuo was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then said in a panic: "Never! ”

Mao Wenlong lowered his face: "Why?" ”

Cheng Zuo explained: "Chief soldier, this Guangdong is the nest of the Japanese Invaders, and if we start a fight with the Japanese Invaders there, not to mention that we send half of our troops over, even if we pull all our navy over, there is no certainty of victory!" ”

The Japanese have been in the waters of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are far more familiar with the waters here than the Ming people. And at sea, one is constantly developing, and the other is just developing for less than two or three years. It is a miracle that the navy of the Dongjiang Army has such strength in such a short period of time, of course, there is also the experience left by the ancestors, as well as some avant-garde ideas of Mao Wenlong, to be able to create such a miracle.

However, based on the development of the Dongjiang Army and Navy in the past two or three years, it is obviously unrealistic to surpass the Japanese Invaders. The navy was able to defeat the Japanese in the North Sea because of the assistance of hot air balloons and local combat reasons. Now, if you go to the south, the time and place are favorable, and there is no cheap to get into, which will be a catastrophe for the Dongjiang Army and Navy, which is already inferior to the Japanese Invaders.

Mao Wenlong was very stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a big gap between the Dongjiang Army and the Japanese Navy. Obviously, he was carried away by the previous victories, and he had already developed a contempt for the Japanese Kou.

Realizing that he was wrong, Mao Wenlong immediately changed his mind and opened his mouth to ask Cheng Zuo: "Then in addition to sending soldiers and horses to Guangdong, do you still have a way to help Zhu Yihai?" ”

Cheng Zuo pondered for a while, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, or we will directly open a business in Guangdong, and then take the opportunity to recruit troops and horses to develop our navy in Guangdong." ”

"Developing naval ...... in Guangdong" Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that this was simply impossible.

Cheng Zuo seemed to see Mao Wenlong's doubts, and he explained: "There is no need to worry about the general army, we went to Guangdong not in the name of the Dongjiang Army, but in the name of the prince. Moreover, in Guangdong, there are many merchant gangs, engaged in maritime trade, and there are many people who run ships and seas. Compared to us in the north, the recruits we recruit have to be trained from scratch, especially in the water-based aspect, and the south side obviously has a great innate convenience than our north. ”

After listening to this explanation, Mao Wenlong also felt that it made sense, due to the geographical location, few people in the north were familiar with water. There are many water systems in the south, and the people generally understand water, not to mention that in Guangdong, it is indeed the most suitable place to recruit troops and horses.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong immediately made a decision: "Okay, according to what you said, go back and arrange it immediately, and strive to go to Guangdong as soon as possible." ”

Cheng Zuo suddenly smiled and said, "Chief soldier, there is no need to prepare anymore, the subordinates are ready, I didn't say it before." It's because we don't have a chance to gain a foothold in Guangdong, and now that the prince is there to do internal response, there is nothing to worry about at all, and we can go there at any time. ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and dared to love Chengzuo's thoughts had already flown to Guangdong. No wonder the opinion just now was clearly stated, it turned out to be premeditated.

After being silent for a while, Mao Wenlong suddenly got up and said loudly: "Anyway, I have nothing to do all day in Xi'an, and I have to be complained by the military advisor." It is better to go to Guangdong to discuss this matter with the prince in person, and go to Guangdong to have a visit by the way. ”

In the final analysis, Mao Wenlong is also a person who can't stop, staying in Xi'an all day and doing nothing, he is already bored in his heart. Zhengchou couldn't find an excuse to escape from this boring Xi'an, but now it's okay, Zhu Yihai has found an excuse for Mao Wenlong to leave.

Without a moment's delay, Mao Wenlong informed Hong Chengchou on the same day, and then regardless of whether he agreed or not, he went to Nanjing directly with Haoda and Chengzuo. When Hong Chengchou heard the news and came to find someone, Mao Wenlong had already fled, which made Hong Chengchou very angry. You must know that the founding ceremony is imminent, and if Mao Wenlong is there, many things can be saved a lot of trouble.

However, now that the man has run away, he can't chase it back if he wants to. What kind of temperament Mao Wenlong has, Hong Chengchou is also clear, before he has played enough, he will definitely not come back.
