It's winter, the cold wind is biting everywhere, and the north is ushering in the first snow of the year, Ruixue Mega Year, years of drought, finally looking forward to a snow, everyone is happy.

Mao Wenlong was not happy, he shrunk in the study, wrapped in thick clothes, and still felt cold. Next to him was a burning stove, and since the beginning of winter, there had never been such a cold weather, which made Mao Wenlong very uncomfortable.

Haoda knocked on the door hurriedly outside the room, and without waiting for Mao Wenlong's consent, he opened the door and entered. A cold wind came in, and Mao Wenlong suddenly felt the cold wind biting.

"Close the door." Mao Wenlong shouted casually, refusing to leave the stove for half a step.

Haoda's face was a little hurried, and after he closed the door casually, he ran to Mao Wenlong, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it over: "Chief soldier, the urgent letter sent by Yunzhou Mansion." ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, then hesitated to take the secret letter, and asked while opening it, "What's the matter?" ”

Haoda shook his head very dryly and said: "I don't know, because the messenger who sent the letter was in a continuous hurry, when he arrived in Xi'an, he fainted directly. ”

Hearing Haoda say this, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but speed up the action of opening the letter, the secret letter was sent by the boss of the family. It stands to reason that the Yunzhou Mansion should be the most calm at this moment, but at this time, the boss of the Lijia sent someone to send such an urgent letter.

After opening it, Mao Wenlong quickly glanced at it and found that the letter mentioned that Anton Wei had been suddenly attacked by the Japanese a few days ago. More than 20 people died in the guardhouse, and a few were wounded, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"The Woko are coming to sneak attack?" Mao Wenlong closed the letter and muttered to himself.

"Commander-in-chief, do you want to send troops to assist in the defense?" There was some urgency in the loud voice.

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "It has been mentioned in the letter that this time it was the robbery of the Japanese Invaders, and the Widows have disappeared afterwards, so there is no need to panic." However, if these hateful widows are not eliminated, Anton Wei will not want to be completely peaceful in the future. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Haoda asked in a low voice.

Mao Wenlong thought for a while before he said: "Who is leading the troops there in Yunzhou Mansion now?" ”

Haoda frowned and thought for a moment before clenching his fists and replying: "My subordinates remember that it was Li Jie." ”

Mao Wenlong asked again: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses are currently stationed in Yunzhou Mansion?" ”

Haoda didn't think much about it this time, and said very quickly: "There are 20,000 troops stationed. ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, touched his chin and said to himself: "There are 20,000, then it should be enough." ”

"General ......"

As soon as Haoda spoke, Mao Wenlong intercepted his words: "Send someone to inform Li Jie immediately, and order him to send five hundred musketeers to Andongwei to assist in the defense." I also told the three brothers to recruit sailors as soon as possible, and in a month at the latest, I will see at least three ships ready to go to sea. ”

Haoda didn't say much, and immediately said yes, and immediately stepped back to make arrangements.

Mao Wenlong was alone in the study, thinking about how to deal with these haunting widows at sea.

If you want to deal with these Japanese robbers, you can deal with them more than you can deal with Houjin on land, they are all the same difficult characters. What's even worse is that Mao Wenlong's power at the sea at the moment can be said to be a blank.

At least so far, he doesn't even have a ship that can go to sea, like Anton Wei now, he can only defend passively, and if he takes the initiative to attack, don't even think about it, it's impossible at all.

Moreover, the style of play at sea can be very different from that on land, where firearms are now in the lead, and long-range attacks are king. This also requires sharp firearms, and small cannons are also essential.

When he thought of firearms, Mao Wenlongdang even thought of the academy in Ye County, where he was studying all the time. Two years have passed, and he hasn't been able to pay attention to it recently, and I don't know how Wang Datie's research is now?

Clapping his hands and standing up, Mao Wenlong felt the need to go and see it in person, so as not to delay the construction of military forces at sea. Once the three brothers were able to get the three ships out to sea in a month's time, the firearms they were equipped with would also have to be in place.

The wind was biting cold outside, but Mao Wenlong had to travel, and when he left, he informed Hong Chengchou. When the old guy heard that he was going back to Ye County, the old man smiled wrinkledly. Because the academy in Xi'an has not yet had time to be built, the students he taught are still in Yexian, Hong Chengchou has not seen the situation of the academy for some days, and he has already missed and worried about it.

The two got into the carriage and, escorted by a team of guards, set off in the afternoon against the cold wind. After a full four-day trip, I arrived in Ye County, and the small Ye County is changing every day, the most obvious is the cement road that has been poured in Ye County.

The smooth road not only has no smoke and dust flying in the sky when walking, but also looks much cleaner and more convenient.

Although Mao Wenlong has moved to Xi'an to live for a long time, this Ye County is still the place that Mao Wenlong cares about the most. It can be said that this is an important military county of Mao Wenlong, and many things here are unknown to outsiders.

Therefore, there has been a 50,000 elite army stationed here for a long time, and Mao Wenlong will never mobilize them until it is at a critical juncture.

Chen Qiyu is now the supreme general of the Yexian garrison, and the safety of Yexian is in his hands, Mao Wenlong is quite relieved, with his ability, there are 50,000 elite soldiers here, and it is more than enough to protect the safety of Yexian.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's carriage arriving from a distance, Chen Qiyu showed a sincere smile on his face, and immediately walked up with four henchmen to greet him.

"The last general, Chen Qiyu, is waiting for the commander-in-chief!"

"See the Commander-in-Chief!"

Chen Qiyu and his four subordinates immediately knelt on one leg to greet them, and the etiquette was very good, and there was nothing to find fault with.

Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage with a smile, and after entering the territory of Ye County, he spared a few places along the way, and seeing all the changes, Mao Wenlong was in a good mood.

"Lao Chen, it's all your own people, so don't make these false courtesies." Mao Wenlong said happily.

"There should be no less etiquette, and the general soldier is not to blame." Chen Qiyu knew that Mao Wenlong had always been informal, so he responded politely and got up.

Mao Wenlong glanced at Chen Qiyu, seeing that his face was ruddy, thinking that he should be comfortable these days. Then he looked up and looked around at the city tower in Yexian County, and found that the city walls were much higher, and they were all poured with cement.

"Ye County is thriving under your governance, not bad, not bad!" Mao Wenlong was overjoyed, and he did not hesitate to praise it.

"Everything is led by the general army, and we are just sitting back and enjoying the results!" Chen Qiyu was very reserved, and he didn't dare to take any credit from him.
