After Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo cleaned up the battlefield, they immediately led the army to the ambush site that had been arranged early in the morning. A full 30,000 elites of the Dongjiang Army quietly lurked and waited for the arrival of the Houjin army.

In the Jiayuguan Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng's face was full of excitement, just after listening to the report of the scouts, he learned that the Dongjiang Army had eliminated nearly 3,000 stragglers in Houjin in just half a day, and such good news made him finally be able to vent the depression in his heart for many days.

However, after venting, he also began to worry about the strength of the Dongjiang Army, although the Dongjiang Army is currently a friendly army, but this is only a temporary phenomenon. Once the Houjin army retreats, and there is no common enemy, it will become an enemy again.

The imperial court is currently on the weakest side, not the opponent of the Later Jin, let alone the opponent of the Dongjiang Army. The feeling of being a mermaid is indeed uncomfortable, and Lu Xiang was promoted to the commander of the army, and he was deeply touched.

Helplessly, the current situation of the imperial court is like this, and there is no way for him to develop and grow, and surviving in the cracks is the only way out for the imperial court in front of him.

"Governor, we can't let the Dongjiang Army succeed so quickly, at least for a while." The general Fang Ting stepped forward and said.

"The big husband has something to do and not to do, Houjin is a tiger wolf, we can't do anything unfavorable to the Dongjiang Army at this time. You all remember to me that whoever dares to ruin the plan of the Dongjiang Army, this governor will not spare it. Lu Xiangsheng strictly ordered, and all the generals present did not dare to say more.

Seeing that all his men had stopped, Lu Xiangsheng slowed down and said: "Houjin is the real enemy of our Ming Dynasty, although the Dongjiang Army is also a big threat to us, it is also our Ming's own internal problem. It is not the same as the foreign enemy of Houjin, so put away your careful thoughts, cooperate with the Dongjiang Army, and teach Huang Taiji a hard lesson. ”

"Yes, Overseer!" So the ministry general Qi claimed to be.

At this point, Lu Xiangsheng was a little relieved, and then ordered everyone to withdraw from the big tent and go to inspect the city tower.

Lu Xiangsheng walked back and forth in the account, and after thinking for a while, he wrote down the achievements of the Dongjiang Army and sent them to Chongzhen of the Beijing Division.

After Chongzhen learned about it, Long Yan Dayue said to Wu Chengen with a smile: "This Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army is indeed powerful, it has just arrived in less than half a day, and it has killed nearly 3,000 enemies. ”

Wu Chengen did not slander Mao Wenlong this time, but echoed: "Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong does have his superiority, why don't we find a way to bring him back together?" ”

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, frowned and said: "Damn Yuan Chonghuan made me lose Mao Wenlong, a rare talent, and now he has a grudge against me, what can be done to resolve it?" ”

Wu Chengen was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong is not short of money now, so ordinary high-ranking officials Houlu naturally can't impress him." Why don't we look for his preferences and then figure out how to start with them. ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up, indeed, he had the idea of re-wooing Mao Wenlong before, and he still remembered when they met on the Yellow River in Kaifeng. He was ready to give Mao Wenlong a prince of the opposite sex, but he was still rejected by Mao Wenlong.

This incident hit Chongzhen quite hard, and now so long has passed, and he still remembers it vividly. At this moment, listening to Wu Chengen's words, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Maybe you can try it, Mao Wenlong's grain and grass are sufficient, and the soldiers and horses are indeed worth our attention." If there is hope, I can promise him anything. You should ponder this matter! ”

King Fu was very puzzled, in his palace, he specially vacated a whole hall for Mao Wenlong, which was full of sundries. All were brought from the shipyard, and in addition to countless pieces of paper, there were some carved woods.

Now Mao Wenlong has been rummaging through these things all day long, and ten days have passed, and there is still no sign of him stopping.

"Brother Mao, can you tell me, what are you looking for?" King Fu seemed to be unable to endure it any longer.

After Mao Wenlong arrived in Nanjing, he didn't talk about anything, and his original plan was not implemented, which made him very anxious. If Huguang's affairs are not settled for a day, he will not be at peace for a day.

Standing upright from the garbage-like debris, Mao Wenlong glanced at King Fu and chuckled: "Brother Zhu has something to say, it's okay to say it directly." ”

King Fu's face was happy, he couldn't care about it so much, and immediately said: "Brother Mao, this king just wants to ask, what do you think about the last time we talked about Huguang?" ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, turned around and found a chair to sit down, and then said, "Brother Zhu, can you tell me why you are in a hurry to bring Huguang under your rule?" ”

King Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Now that the imperial court is in danger, this king must prepare as soon as possible. Isn't it true that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared? ”

Mao Wenlong nodded: "So that's the case, since Brother Zhu is so anxious, it doesn't hurt to help you." ”

When King Fu heard this, he was overjoyed: "This is true. ”

Mao Wenlong chuckled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a wide area, I'll write a letter to Xi'an now, and Brother Zhu can send someone to discuss with Hong Junshi." ”

King Fu finally made up his mind at this point, and he arched his hand and smiled: "Then there is Brother Lao Mao." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

King Fu said this and left, Mao Wenlong looked at his departing back, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Haoda hurriedly walked into the hall and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, the battle report has been sent from the border pass." ”

Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up: "Present it." ”

Haoda sent the battle report to Mao Wenlong, and then retreated.

Mao Wenlong quickly opened it to watch, and laughed after a while. Chen Jisheng and the others actually successfully attacked Houjin's army, causing Huang Taiji a great loss, and even made him withdraw his troops in a hurry, not daring to delay for a moment in Jiayuguan.

After the war, Huang Taiji directly lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses this time, and two of his generals were killed.

As soon as Huang Taiji retreated, Chen Jisheng and them also began to return, and now Jiayuguan has completely quelled the war.

Mao Wenlong folded the letter and put it in his arms, smiled and continued his treasure hunt. So far, he has found a lot of good things, including some drawings of the fortune ship and some shipbuilding data.

The trip was fruitful and did not disappoint him, and many of Zheng He's shipbuilding techniques were well preserved, which made Mao Wenlong very happy.

I believe that with these things, there will be no more obstacles to building warships in the future, and his navy can also be greatly developed in a short period of time in the future.
