Chapter 928: Rather Lack than Abundance
The Dongjiang Army's purge in Fucheng, Guangzhou, directly caused a sensation among the people of Fucheng the next day. On the main street, the people stood on both sides of the street early, looking forward to the more than 100 corrupt officials who were locked in iron cages and paraded through the streets.
parade through the streets, and then behead, this is the order given by Mao Wenlong to Chen Jisheng. After a night of censorship, the corrupt money of these officials far exceeded Mao Wenlong's expectations. Shocked at the same time, he was also very angry, without any hesitation, and directly ordered all of them to be killed.
When the news reached Nanjing, Hong Chengchou was shocked, and Mao Wenlong's move undoubtedly caught him off guard. He has not been able to fill the big hole of the Dongjiang Army in time, and now he has made such a big deal halfway. Hong Chengchou was very helpless, he had already begun to burn out.
Annoying, but things still have to be done, and a prefecture will kill more than 100 officials at once. It can be said that the political affairs of the entire prefecture and city can no longer function normally, and this needs to be replenished as soon as possible, and then return to normal.
It's just that where to find such officials for a while, Hong Chengchou has a headache? In desperation, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the academy in Xi'an, and gave an order to the officials there to select 200 students to go on the road immediately and rush to the capital of Guangzhou.
After the matter was busy, he learned that two hundred students had already gone on the road, so Hong Chengchou calmed down and watched another letter from Mao Wenlong. After a hurried glance, Hong Chengchou's face became heavy and abnormal.
At this time, Hong Chengchou realized that the Ming Dynasty really needed a change to clean up the loopholes left by the previous dynasty. It's just that Mao Wenlong wants him to start acting now, which is a bit too hasty.
The north of the Ming Dynasty is better to say, it can be said that it is completely under the control of the Dongjiang Army. It is not difficult to carry out any changes, but it is different in the south, where most of the local officials are still officials who defected from the previous dynasty.
At that time, in order to restore the peaceful period as soon as possible, Hong Chengchou had to use them to become officials again. It's just that now that such a serious problem has arisen, he also realizes that he can't let it go like this anymore.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Hong Chengchou understands in his heart that it is one thing, and it is another thing whether he can do it or not. He was overwhelmed by the fact that there was only one city in Guangzhou, not to mention that the entire south had to purge those corrupt officials at the same time. Thinking about how many officials he had to take down at once, Hong Chengchou became angry.
After thinking deeply, Hong Chengchou was also forced to be in a hurry, so he directly repaired a letter and ordered someone to send it to Guangzhou to Mao Wenlong for 800 miles.
Mao Wenlong stayed in Guangzhou for only five days, and on the sixth day, he was ready to set sail early in the morning, but before continuing to rush to Qiongzhou Mansion, he unexpectedly received a reply from Hong Chengchou.
He opened it and looked at it, and then chuckled. Hong Chengchou didn't say much in the letter, only one sentence: "Chief soldier, the old minister asks to tell the old man to return to his hometown." ”
In just one sentence, Mao Wenlong already fully understood Hong Chengchou's thoughts, and it was clear that he was going to leave the burden and quit.
"It seems that it really forces people to be anxious, forget it, let him deal with it slowly!" Mao Wenlong let out a sigh, then put away the envelope.
Before turning around and leaving, he instructed Haoxiao without looking back: "Send someone to Nanjing to inform Mr. immediately, and let him watch it." ”
Mao Wenlongtou left without looking back, leaving the happy people all over the city, but it also left hidden dangers for this city. Fortunately, the replacement officials transferred by Hong Chengchou arrived in time, and in the end, Fucheng did not cause much chaos.
The blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and people are like ants in it. With the adaptation of going to sea in front, those who couldn't bear it also left. Now the whole fleet is very normal, no, Chen Jisheng and the nine people have been able to talk and laugh with Mao Wenlong when they are sailing.
They are all battle-hardened people, and this perseverance is still there. Chen Jisheng raised his head and poured a big sip of wine, and said to Mao Wenlong with a smile: "Chief soldier, now everyone has adapted to life on the ship. Wouldn't it be a waste to keep going in such a boring hurry, so let's have some fun and let the big guys loosen their bones and move their bodies. ”
Chen Qiyu also came over at this time, and said with a smile: "Yes, Chief Soldier, you see that everyone has adapted to it." They are all veterans in the army, and they haven't moved their bodies for a long time, so I'm afraid everyone's skills have become a lot more rusty. ”
The others also agreed at this moment, and it was obvious that these nine people must have discussed it in advance. This will be accompanied by Mao Wenlong's drinking, by the way, to make a request to show off his skills at sea.
When they went to sea, everyone suffered for a few days, and they lost face. Now that I have finally adapted to it, it is an opportunity to show my strength and regain the face I lost before.
Raising his eyes and silently looking at the nine old subordinates in front of him, Mao Wenlong sneered in his heart. These guys are starting to rattle now, apparently not yet suffering. In the past two days, the sea was calm, the warship was moving very smoothly, and the hull of the ship did not shake much. These guys thought they had adapted to life on board, and Mao Wenlong despised them.
But he didn't say it, just indifferently. Just when the nine people didn't know what Mao Wenlong was thinking expressionlessly, he suddenly spoke: "Adou, pass the order, turn around and set off for the deep sea." ”
"Commander, are you going to fight pirates?" Chen Jisheng was the most active, and he immediately couldn't restrain himself and cheered.
Shaking his head, Mao Wenlong sneered: "Don't be happy yet, if you can withstand this test today." It's not too late to talk about fighting pirates. ”
Mao Wenlong's words made Chen Jisheng and the nine people very stunned, they really didn't know what kind of test Mao Wenlong was about to let them go through?
Combined with previous experience, it seems that Mao Wenlong's test will not be easy every time. Chen Jisheng's hearts suddenly began to feel apprehensive, and then they thought about the pain of vomiting unconscious when they first got on the boat. The nine of them were even more uneasy!
Adou didn't hesitate, he followed Mao Wenlong's instructions and immediately passed on the order. The fleet soon turned around and sailed into the depths of the blue sea.
Driving offshore, the wind and waves are not large, and it is very safe on the normal shipping lane. And once the fleet leaves the channel and sails into the depths of the sea, not only the wind and waves are high, but also full of dangers.
As time passed, all the warships began to shake more and more violently. At first, Chen Jisheng and the nine of them were completely able to adapt, but this so-called adaptation did not last long, and their faces began to get worse and worse.
The smile on Mao Wenlong's face became more and more meaningful, judging from the current situation of Chen Jisheng and the nine of them. If you persist for another half an hour at most, you will start to vomit again.
