Chapter 674: Undiminished prestige
"Isn't it a scholar of Zuo Chunfang?"
After the initial stunned, Mao Wenlong pushed away the young woman in his arms, sat up from the bed with a pout, and shouted at the guards outside the door.
This made the young woman in his arms suddenly leak out, and the snow-white body wrapped in the quilt was revealed, which made people inevitably swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Mao Wenlong looked very nervous now, the guard may not know the dignity of the "university scholar", there are very few people who can be called "university scholar" in the Ming Dynasty, so he immediately guessed that what the guard said was "Zuo Chunfang university scholar", which is Li Hongyu's official position.
"Yes, yes, it's 'Zuo Chunfang University Scholar'."
The guards outside the door nodded again and again when they heard this, and then a trace of ambiguity appeared on their faces, and they asked Mao Wenlong with a smile, "Lord Chief Soldier, why is there still a 'Spring Fang' in the imperial court, is it an emperor who developed aphrodisiacs?" ”
"Shut your stinky mouth, Zuo Chunfang University Scholar is the teacher of the Crown Professor!"
Mao Wenlong was stunned at first when he heard this, and then scolded the guards outside the door, "Quick, gather the whole army and prepare to welcome Lord Fuchen!" ”
"Auxiliary?"
The guard outside the door was suddenly startled, but he knew that the "auxiliary minister" was the biggest person in the Ming Dynasty, and then hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran.
"Quick, wait for me to get dressed." Mao Wenlong was not idle, and after pushing the young woman stretching beside him, he jumped out of bed and hurriedly put on his clothes.
"My lord, it's just that you're here to ****, you have the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, are you still afraid that he won't succeed?" The young woman asked, yawning, sitting up from the bed.
"If someone else comes, Lao Tzu won't pay attention to him at all, but it's Scholar Li who comes, so you can't be lazy."
Seeing the young woman's lazy appearance, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm really afraid of this Li Dashi, he is the governor of Liaodong who killed Jiannu and moved the capital back then!" ”
"You're saying it's Governor Li?" Hearing this, the young woman was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mao Wenlong in surprise and asked.
"It's this person, your family's savior." Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded when he heard this, he knew that Li Hongyu was going to North Korea, but he didn't expect to come to Dongjiang Island at this time.
The young woman's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and she hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed, waiting for Mao Wenlong to freshen up.
The reason why Mao Wenlong said that Li Hongyu was the benefactor of the young woman was because the young woman was from Tieling, and if it wasn't for Li Hongyu who led the army to defeat Daishan and Huang Taiji who besieged Tieling, then the young woman and her family might have died in the chaos.
When Mao Wenlong came to the conference hall dressed neatly, the generals of the Dongjiang Army had already rushed over, and because of the sudden incident, they didn't know what was going on, so they were talking about it there.
"Lord Commander-in-Chief, is there an emergency military situation?" Seeing Mao Wenlong coming, all the generals rushed up.
"There is no emergency military situation, but there is good news." Mao Wenlong saw that everyone looked nervous, so he laughed and said.
"Good news?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing where the joy came from.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Governor has come to visit us in Dongjiang!" Mao Wenlong knew that everyone couldn't guess, so he solved the mystery with a smile.
"Lord Governor?" When the generals heard this, they immediately fell into doubt, and they thought that it was Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, but Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli now had a gap, and they would not seem so happy.
"Your Excellency, do you mean Governor Li?" Soon, a general came back to his senses and asked tentatively, the governor Li in his mouth was naturally Li Hongyu, who was the governor of Liaodong that year.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Mao Wenlong with concern, they all fled from the Liaodong battlefield to Dongjiang Island, and they were all Li Hongyu's subordinates, and many people listened to Li Hongyu's advice back then, and after the fall of Liaodong, they went to Dongjiang, so they naturally seemed very concerned about this news.
"Exactly, the governor was sent by the emperor to build a defense line on the Yalu River in North Korea a few years ago, and we can follow the Lord again in the future!" Mao Wenlong nodded with a smile, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow the general soldier to greet the governor." ”
Hula, the generals standing there came back to their senses, and followed behind Mao Wenlong in surprise, all of them looked excited, they didn't expect to see Li Hongyu, who had become an auxiliary minister, here after saying goodbye to Liaodong.
Dock.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were walking and chatting on the wharf, and the wharf was already full of soldiers and civilians watching the bustle, pointing to the sailor ships moored in the harbor and discussing, they had never seen such a large and strange ship as a Western sailing ship.
According to the rules, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had to wait on the dock for the Dongjiang Army to send someone to greet them, and it was a bit inappropriate to rush into the Dongjiang Army's barracks, at least let the other party be prepared.
It didn't take long for the people at the entrance of the wharf to be in a commotion, and a group of generals of the Dongjiang Army ran over in a hurry, which surprised the people along the way, and they had never seen the generals of the Dongjiang Army so flustered.
"I've met Scholar Lee!" When they saw Li Hongyu from afar, Mao Wenlong and the others immediately turned happy, hurriedly ran to Li Hongyu, knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Boom, the people around saw this and suddenly made a commotion, I didn't expect Mao Wenlong to give such a big gift to Li Hongyu, you must know that Mao Wenlong is now not only the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, but also has the Shang Fang sword given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and with Mao Wenlong's arrogance, he will not easily make this kind of gift.
"General Mao, hurry up, don't make this big gift." Li Hongyu smiled and helped Mao Wenlong up, very satisfied with Mao Wenlong's reaction.
"Rise up also." Then, Li Hongyu smiled and said to the person kneeling behind Mao Wenlong.
"Scholar Xie." When the generals heard this, they thanked them in unison, and after getting up, they enthusiastically surrounded Li Hongyu, who had established a lot of prestige in the Liaodong Army when he was in Liaodong.
Li Hongyu has a good memory, and he can still remember the names of some of them, so he greeted those people with a smile, which made those people very surprised.
In fact, Li Hongyu was also extremely happy when he saw those people whose names he could remember, and those people were all military attaches he had a fancy to in Liaodong back then, so he suggested that they should be on Dongjiang Island after the fall of Liaodong.
Now it seems that the generals he told him to follow his advice well, and those who did not make it may be more than lucky.
After learning that Zhao Xin was a scholar of Youchunfang University, Mao Wenlong and others hurriedly saluted him again, and then hugged Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin to the Dongjiang General Military Mansion.
"Who is that young adult, our island marshal seems to be respectful to him, this is rare!" Looking at Li Hongyu's departing back, a man in the crowd couldn't help but ask curiously.
Because Mao Wenlong is the supreme commander of Dongjiang Island, people also like to call him the island commander.
"Didn't you hear, he's a scholar of Zuochunfang University in our Ming Dynasty." At this time, a middle-aged man replied loudly.
"What does Zuo Chunfang do, is it spinning?" A woman couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Zuo Chunfang is the yamen of the professor prince." Soon, someone answered the woman's question.
"No wonder the island marshal is so respectful, it turns out that it has something to do with the prince!" At this moment, everyone suddenly realized.
"What do you know, this scholar of Zuo Chunfang is the governor of Liaodong who fought and moved the capital to protect himself, and the island marshal used to be his subordinate!" Someone in the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly.
"What? He was Governor Li back then? ”
With a bang, there was a commotion in the crowd, how could they all be from Liaodong who didn't know about Li Hongyu's feat back then? So I was shocked.
"It's good now, Governor Li won't be rampant anymore when he comes to Jiannu!" Then, someone in the crowd shouted in surprise.
"Yes, if Governor Li is here, why would he lose Liaodong, maybe Jiannu would have been exterminated a long time ago, and I don't know what the imperial court thought, so he actually transferred Governor Li."
Another voice followed suit, looking rather indignant, believing that the imperial court should not transfer Li Hongyu away, or then Jin would not have captured Liaodong at all.
……
The people on the wharf were all excited to learn of Li Hongyu's identity, their morale was boosted, and they talked about Li Hongyu with great interest.
In fact, how would these people know that the reason why Liaodong was lost was not only the decline in the strength of the Ming army, but also closely related to the complicated battles in the court, otherwise it would be impossible for Jin to take Liaodong so easily.
Dongjiang General Military Office.
Mao Wenlong had already asked people to prepare a sumptuous banquet to pick up Li Hongyu's wind and dust, and he was very happy and happy that Li Hongyu came to Dongjiang Island this time.
When Li Hongyu was in Liaodong, he liked to drink with the generals, not because he was addicted to alcohol, but a way to communicate with the generals, anyway, his alcohol consumption was not bad.
Therefore, at the banquet, Li Hongyu did not refuse those who came to toast, everyone staggered, talked and laughed, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
"Mr. Mao, is there some misunderstanding between you and Lord Yuan?"
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Hongyu, who was talking and laughing, suddenly changed his words and asked Mao Wenlong quietly, and the "Lord Yuan" in his mouth naturally referred to Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai.
It stands to reason that Yuan Keli has the grace to support Mao Wenlong, if it weren't for Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong would not have been able to defend Dongjiang Island and achieve such great achievements now.
The relationship between the two was originally very close, but last year, because Mao Wenlong's report to the imperial court was too unbelievable, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered Yuan Keli to conduct a thorough investigation, which caused a crack in the relationship between the two sides.
It turned out that in the third year of Mao Wenlong's Apocalypse, he gave the imperial court a recital of the great victory of Manpu and Changcheng, and asked the court for a reward, saying that he led more than 1,000 people without fighting, and the Houjin army collapsed with artillery alone, and more than 20,000 Houjin soldiers were killed by artillery, more than 30,000 were trampled by horses and died, and 20,000 Houjin soldiers who fled.
Because the content of this battle report was indeed too unbelievable, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered Yuan Keli, who was the governor of Denglai, to thoroughly investigate the authenticity, because Mao Wenlong, as the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, should be restrained by Yuan Keli.
Regarding Yuan Keli's moderation of Mao Wenlong, the Ming court had clear regulations: "Restraining the slave chieftains, North Korea also; those who are affiliated with North Korea, Mao Zhenye; Those who control Maozhen are also in the grip of Fu. ”
In order to exterminate the Houjin, the Ming Military Department also had regulations for the governor and the general army of the town guard, that is, "if the town cannot be controlled, it is easy to care, and if the town cannot be controlled, it is easy to town".
If it is replaced by Li Hongyu, it will definitely go through the motions, there is no need to take this matter seriously, although Mao Wenlong has personal self-interest factors in it, but it is more to raise grain and grass.
After all, Mao Wenlong had such a large group of people to feed, and the imperial court's supplies to Dongjiang were limited, and his share was insufficient, so he had no other way but to ask the imperial court for rewards, and he couldn't let those people starve to death.
But Yuan Keli was too serious, and the people sent to check it very carefully, which made Mao Wenlong quite dissatisfied with this in his heart, and the relationship between the two began to crack.
Li Hongyu heard about this, he didn't want any unhappiness between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli, so he wanted to make peace from it, after all, Mao Wenlong was controlled by Yuan Keli and was his top boss.
