King Fu was very excited about Chongzhen's loss of Nanjing, because he knew that in this way, his opportunity would come. The day of returning to Nanjing was just around the corner, so after he hurriedly prepared, he quietly set off to Nanjing to meet Mao Wenlong.

After a long journey, he even put aside the defeat of Chongzhen for the time being, and after arriving in Nanjing, he directly asked to see Mao Wenlong.

King Fu's sudden visit, Mao Wenlong was still quite surprised, I don't know why he came in a hurry? Instructed Haoda to bring King Fu to the imperial study to meet.

The first time he saw Mao Wenlong, King Fu burst out laughing: "The general army is mighty, and it is really gratifying to knock down Nanjing in one day!" ”

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes, thinking about the purpose of King Fu's trip, but on the surface, he also said politely: "King Fu came in a hurry, did there be any accident in Sichuan?" ”

King Fu waved his hand and said: "Don't be suspicious about the general soldiers, everything is going smoothly in Sichuan now, and in less than two months, this king can take half of Sichuan without any problem." And this time the king came in a hurry for the sake of Nanjing. ”

"Nanjing's affairs ......" Mao Wenlong looked at King Fu in confusion.

"Yes, it's Nanjing. The general soldier should also know that this king has always stayed in Nanjing, and due to a previous negligence, he was exiled to a foreign land, and later he was occupied by Chongzhen. Now that the general army has helped to get Nanjing back, this king implores the general army to hand over Nanjing to this king, I don't know if it is possible? ”

King Fu was not polite, and he spoke bluntly. Mao Wenlong frowned after hearing this, if he had handed over Nanjing to King Fu before, he didn't think it was anything? But now it is different, Nanjing is an important place for his development to the south, and now it is even more necessary to use Nanjing as a breakthrough to move people or young people to the north, so as to make up for the shortage of population in the north.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate, he shook his head and said, "I understand Brother Zhu's feelings, but at present, I can't agree to your request." ”

King Fu was stunned for a moment: "Why is this?" ”

I came with excitement, and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, in the eyes of King Fu, Mao Wenlong has always been disdainful of the south. has always put his mind on the north, so King Fu is very sure about the matter of asking for Nanjing, however, Mao Wenlong's answer made him suffer a ruthless blow, and he immediately panicked.

Mao Wenlong saw that King Fu was nervous, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother Zhu doesn't need to be nervous, as long as things develop smoothly, Nanjing will always be handed over to you in the future." ”

It can be seen that Mao Wenlong doesn't seem to want to give a detailed explanation, and King Fu hesitated for a while and didn't continue to ask. With Mao Wenlong's assurance just now, he believes that Mao Wenlong will not fool himself.

King Fu nodded, and said: "It's that this king is anxious, and I hope that the general army is not to blame." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand, and then instructed Haoda to arrange a place for King Fu to stay.

The turmoil in Nanjing did not bring any panic to the locals, and this was also due to the fact that the previous Dongjiang Army had already infiltrated it, and Mao Wenlong had already informed the Dongjiang Army in Nanjing before the troops were sent to Nanjing. As a result, the local population was not affected.

After King Fu left, Cheng Zuo came in a hurry, and he was ordered to go to recruit troops and horses, which would come to report the progress to Mao Wenlong.

"Chief soldier, the recruitment is going well, but there is an accident in the relocation of the people." Cheng Zuo saluted and said to Mao Wenlong.

"What happened?" Mao Wenlong said in surprise.

"Almost none of the people of Nanjing are reluctant to move to the north, and according to the surveys of their subordinates, the people of Nanjing do not want to leave their hometowns where they have lived for generations." Chengzuo was very helpless.

Nanjing is the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, which is quite prosperous, although it has gone through two or three wars, but it has not reached the point of breaking the bones. The people here are still living quite comfortably, and they have no intention of moving away from their hometown.

"There is such a thing!" When Mao Wenlong heard this, he was very surprised. This was obviously a surprise to him.

"Chief soldier, judging from this, it may not work for us to move people from the south to the north?" Judging from the reaction of most of the people in Nanjing, Chengzuo has already estimated the reaction of the people in other southern places.

Mao Wenlong obviously also thought of the situation, and after he was silent for a moment, he spoke: "Since the people don't want to move, then don't worry about it for the time being, fortunately, there was no accident in the recruitment of troops." Now you can concentrate on the recruitment of 300,000 soldiers as soon as possible, and remember, you must complete this task before the spring comes. ”

Cheng Zuo hurriedly responded: "Yes, Chief Soldier!" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and waved his hand to let Cheng Zuo retreat to rest, it was already midnight at the moment, Mao Wenlong was also tired, and was about to go to rest after washing. Haoda, who had just left, came back in a hurry, and he took an urgent report to Mao Wenlong and said: "Chief soldier, the urgent report sent by Lihui is about the Japanese Kou. ”

"Oh, take a look." Mao Wenlong was suddenly shocked, grabbed the emergency report and read it.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "It seems that the life of these widows will not be easy in the future." ”

Haoda's face was full of confusion: "What happened, Chief Soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Do you remember the pirates we subdued on the coast of Nanjing last time? ”

Haoda nodded to show that he remembered, and Mao Wenlong continued: "I didn't expect that they had already subdued all the pirates in the northern sea in just three months, and now they have the strength to blockade the entire northern sea. As a result, it will not be so easy for the Japanese to quietly enter the northern seas in the future. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong immediately gave an order to Haoda: "Send someone to inform Lihui immediately, and let him unite all the pirates to check the entire northern sea." Tell him that in the future, there will never be a single widow in the northern seas, and if he can't do it, let him be careful of his head. ”

The Japanese have always been the biggest obstacle to Mao Wenlong's development of maritime power, and now with this exciting news, it is natural that he urgently hopes to solve this headache.

There are many good things on Mao Wenlong's side, and the good news comes one after another. And Chongzhen's side was not so good, when he fled back to Huguang, there was a war that day, because the guards of Xiangyang City did not open the city gate to let Chongzhen and them enter.

Obviously, the old generals of the original Fu Wang, after seeing Chongzhen's fall, had already had the intention of rebellion. This made Chongzhen furious, and he immediately ordered a fight without saying a word, and after paying more than 2,000 casualties, Chongzhen finally recaptured Xiangyang City and killed the rebel generals who defended the city.
