Chapter 805: Confrontation on the Table
readx; For the next whole day, Yuan Chonghuan traveled all over Phi Island, and as expected, he took out real money to reward the soldiers under Mao Wenlong's command. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info His ship was full of supplies brought from Ningyuan, and all the soldiers were rewarded with ten taels of silver, one stone of rice, and one horse of cloth. These soldiers on Phi Island are all milk and mothers, and they got these rewards for no reason, and they were thunderous with joy, and their good impression of Governor Yuan increased greatly.
However, there were only about 3,000 soldiers on Phi Island. Mao Wenlong asked for salary from the imperial court, often according to the standard of 50,000 or even 100,000 people, and Yuan Chonghuan asked the reason at this time. Mao Wenlong slyly explained that the rest of the soldiers were either in the Dongjiang River or scattered on nearby islands, in short, they refused to tell Yuan Chonghuan how many troops he had.
Yuan Chonghuan knew it in his heart, and he didn't ask deeply. Seeing that it was getting late, he invited Mao Wenlong to his ship for a banquet, but Mao Wenlong had a ghost in his heart, for fear that Yuan Chonghuan would trick him into arresting or even killing him on the ship, so he found all kinds of excuses to shirk in every possible way, and finally invited Yuan Chonghuan to his general army mansion to drink.
Yuan Chonghuan readily agreed, and only brought two Chinese soldiers to accompany him. Only then did Mao Wenlong put his mind at ease and held a banquet in the mansion. Of course, he also knew that Yuan Chonghuan was born in the imperial examination, and he definitely couldn't get used to the silver music style he usually used to do in Phi Dao; And he has been crying poverty to the court, and he is not too extravagant, so that he shows his feet.
Therefore, in the eyes of Mao Wenlong's generals, this banquet was too shabby. In spite of this, dozens of tables were still set up at the banquet, each table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wine and fragrant tea, and after a short time, Kong Youde and other generals who did not change their dead nature were drunk, and they recklessly gave orders with their fists, and they also told vulgar jokes.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't care, but just toasted Mao Wenlong with a glass of left and right, and the two Chinese soldiers stood respectfully behind Yuan Chonghuan. Mao Wenlong was still a little nervous at the beginning, but after a few glasses of wine, he relaxed his vigilance, feeling that Yuan Chonghuan had no ill will towards him, and he didn't have any great ability. What's more, this is his own territory, and Yuan Chonghuan can't do what he does with Mao Wenlong.
In the middle of the night, the tables and plates were in disarray, and many people were already too drunk to make up an excuse to say goodbye and find a place to be merry and happy. Mao Wenlong was also eight points drunk, one hand on the shoulder of Yuan Chonghuan, who was also drunk and hazy, and kept shouting "brother and brother" in his mouth.
Yuan Chonghuan also said with a big tongue: "Brother Zhennan (Mao Wenlong's character Zhennan), today is sacred, comparable to Yao Shun... Yu soup. You and my brother are the ministers, and they will be the bloody battlefield, and the horse leather shroud will not live up... Live up to the grace of the monarch. ”
Mao Wenlong did drink too much, and laughed wildly with the strength of the wine: "Elemental brother (Yuan Chonghuan character element), there are many people in the world who slander the first emperor, but according to the younger brother, the first emperor is the Ming Jun!" Without the first emperor, I, Mao Wenlong, might have fucking gotten out early. As for today... Haha, although he overthrew Wei Zhongxian as soon as he ascended the throne, he was indeed clever; But whether he can be worthy of Yao Shun depends on what happens in the future. At the very least, we must approve the little brother's salary first! ”
As soon as the words fell, a Chinese soldier behind Yuan Chonghuan suddenly changed color, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stopped with his eyes, and smiled vaguely: "Brother Zhennan, in your opinion, how to calm Liao?" ”
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's sincere attitude, Mao Wenlong thought that he was really asking for advice from him, so he smiled more and more proudly: "Brother Elemental, junior brother is telling the truth, don't you don't like to listen to it." ”
"Brother Zhennan, please speak, brother listen." Yuan Chonghuan said quietly.
"The Guanning border army is useless," Mao Wenlong said with a spurt of wine, "What is full of gui, what is the ancestor of the great birthday, it is all wine bags and rice bags." The defense of the city is still so-so, if you want to charge into battle, ten can't match the next pawn under the command of the younger brother. Brother Elemental with such a bunch of rice buckets is indeed a difficult cook for a clever woman. It's not that the younger brother is boasting, as long as the food and salary are sufficient, I will send an elite army from Phi Dao, hide the clouds and hide the fog to raid the old nest of Jianyu, and burn him with a fire, won't Liaodong be calmed? Hahahaha! …”
Rao is Yuan Chonghuan tried his best to endure it, and he couldn't help but change color slightly at this time. He was already very arrogant, and the Guan Ning Jin defense line was the most proud work of his life; But Mao Wenlong opened his mouth and said that his hard work was worthless, can Yuan Chonghuan not be angry?
But Mao Wenlong didn't realize it, and he was still bragging about himself. Yuan Chonghuan couldn't hold it back, and pretended to ask inadvertently, "Where is Brother Zhennan from?" ”
"The younger brother is from Qiantang, Hangzhou." Mao Wenlong replied inexplicably.
Yuan Chonghuan pretended to be concerned and said: "Brother Zhennan's temples are pale, he has probably been away from his hometown for a long time, right?" ”
"Not really!" Mao Wenlong also looked up to the sky and sighed, "Since I went north to explore the rivers and lakes when I was young, my little brother has not returned to Hangzhou for more than 20 years!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan took the opportunity to say: "Brother has worked hard for a long time to stuff the bitter cold place. Hangzhou West Lake is full of fun..."
At this time, the sea breeze blew more and more violently, Mao Wenlong shivered a few times, and most of the wine woke up, suddenly realized, and turned into a sly smile and said: "Don't hide it from the governor, the last general is already the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, don't you want to disarm and return to the field as soon as possible?" However, the Liaodong army has not ended, and the soldiers of Phi Island have left the last general, just like a group of dragons without a leader. If the last general wants to leave, who can replace him? I had to wait for Jianyu to be destroyed, and then return to my hometown to recuperate. Moreover, the last general Guan Korean monarch and ministers were weak and could not afford to fight. As long as you find an opportunity to suddenly enter the army, you can attack it, isn't this opening up the territory for the imperial court? ”
At this point, Yuan Chonghuan knew that Mao Wenlong would never obey his dispatch, let alone hand over the military power. In an instant, he was so murderous that he wanted to behead Mao Wenlong during the banquet. However, looking around, it was all Mao Wenlong's subordinates, and there were only two Chinese soldiers beside him, so he had to suppress his anger, saying that he was not strong enough to drink, and he wanted to return to the ship to rest.
Mao Wenlong said with bad intentions: "The governor is busy with military affairs, I don't know when I will return to Ningyuan?" ”
This is simply an eviction order, but Yuan Chonghuan didn't care, and while stumbling, he replied vaguely: "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon." Brother Qing Chen wants to test the martial arts of the generals under the command of the chief soldier on the island, and there are more rich rewards, what does the chief soldier think? ”
Mao Wenlong also wanted to show off his strength to Yuan Chonghuan, and immediately agreed. Yuan Chonghuan was supported by two Chinese soldiers to return to the ship, and after seeing off Mao Wenlong and the others returned, he immediately shouted with a frosty face: "Huanglong, Cao Wenzhao!" ”
The two Chinese soldiers who had been standing beside him suddenly agreed: "The last general!" ”
"Come here with your ears!"
The two of them immediately stepped forward, Yuan Chonghuan whispered something in their ears, and said coldly: "The Ministry knows that this move is very dangerous, do you dare to obey the order?" ”
"May I serve the dead!" The two generals replied in unison. Yuan Chonghuan nodded lightly, turned his face away and stopped talking, but cast his knife-like gaze on Phi Dao in the night, and breathed a heavy breath.
