Chang Hai packed up his things early the next morning and hurried back to Beijing, Mao Wenlong still took care of this talent, and used a hot air balloon to send him again. Lao Chang felt Mao Wenlong's intimacy and felt warm, but when he thought that he would have to fight with the Manchu Dynasty after he went back, Lao Chang was helpless.

Lao Chang's arrival was just a small episode, and Mao Wenlong also spent a little effort to play this double reed with Hong Chengchou. As a result, Chang Hai was fooled back to Beijing to deal with the Manchu civil and military officials who criticized the academy and the military camp. With Lao Chang, an iron-faced and selfless guy, I believe that those unfavorable rumors will soon stop.

Since then, the seowon has completely restored its former tranquility, and everything is still going on as usual.

Seeing that half of the cold winter has passed, the training of 20,000 sergeants has begun to become in full swing. Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu have also gone from being unfamiliar at the beginning to being skilled now. According to this progress, if nothing else, Mao Wenlong has no need to worry about anything.

I thought that the days would be spent in such a stable way, but unexpectedly, the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and Adou, who was sitting on Xiangjiang Island, sent the news of Yiren again. The coalition forces of the Yiren have stayed near the Wa Kingdom and seem to be very concerned about the current chaos in the island country. According to Adou's speculation, it is very likely that the Yiren coalition will intervene in the current government of the Wa Kingdom.

The Wa Kingdom must be chaotic, this is what Mao Wenlong needs, and it is in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. A unified and powerful neighboring country would pose a great threat to the defense of the Ming Dynasty, and if one was not careful, it was very likely that a large number of would-be wouldn-be raids on the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty again.

This is definitely not allowed by Mao Wenlong, but unfortunately now is not the time to go to disturb the Yiren, the elite fleet of the Dongjiang Army Naval Division has not yet been formed, and it is very unfavorable to go on the expedition at this time.

"I still have to endure everything!" Mao Wenlong sighed helplessly.

"Commander-in-chief, although we don't know the exact number of them yet, we just need to let Adou lead the dark guard battalion stationed on Xiangjiang Island to fight. It will definitely be able to repel those Yiren coalition forces, even if it can't be repelled, it can make those Yiren coalition forces have some scruples, and they can't be satisfied. Chen Jisheng frowned.

"Yes, the artillery and warships of the Yiren and their seafaring skills are good, but as long as we are careful, we will definitely not lose the battle." Chen Qiyue also agreed with Chen Jisheng's point of view, and the two of them had a rare idea of going together this time.

Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You all think too simply, this person's Yiren alliance is obviously prepared." Otherwise, they would not have gone to the Wa Kingdom instead of coming to the Ming Dynasty. Adou's Secret Guard Battalion is not vegetarian either, and now they have no way to find out the details of those Yiren coalition forces, do you still think things are so easy to deal with? ”

Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu were speechless for a moment, according to Mao Wenlong's statement, the current conservative way to deal with it is to endure it. Let those Yiren coalition forces toss enough, and the Dongjiang Army Naval Division must step up training and strive to complete the construction of the new army after the beginning of spring.

Mao Wenlong walked back and forth in the big tent, and suddenly sighed and said: "Just can't be long, soft can't be guarded, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is coming." But we must not slack off, and only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can the Ming Dynasty enjoy peace forever, so that the people will not be displaced and suffer from invasion and war. ”

The atmosphere in the big tent was very dull, and Mao Wenlong's sudden words directly evoked the memories of the veterans present. Think about the previous Ming Dynasty, corruption, wars were everywhere, and under internal and external troubles, the edifice was about to collapse.

Thinking about their respective lives now, there is indeed a difference between heaven and earth. The phrase of being prepared for danger in times of peace immediately rekindled the fighting spirit of the generals present.

Mao Wenlong felt the change in their hearts, and a smile appeared on his face: "It is impossible for the prosperous era to last forever, but we can try to make the prosperous era longer, and we can't slack off at all times when we take precautions." ”

In the dead of night, Mao Wenlong went to bed peacefully, he didn't know that the words that had just agitated the ambition of the generals in the big tent had been completely recorded in the form of letters. And this record was also sent to Jingshi overnight.

Hong Chengchou gently put down the booklet, and his heart was surging. But he didn't fully agree with what Mao Wenlong said, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous compared with before. Today, which was finally obtained, it should not be so blindly tossed again, the Ming Dynasty was rebuilt from the ruins, and the vitality has already been greatly injured, and it is wise to recuperate at this time.

In this perfect era, Mao Wenlong still talked about starting the war lightly, which would only increase the burden on the Ming Dynasty, which had not yet recovered.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, and then wrote a letter to Mao Wenlong, persuading him not to worry about overseas affairs. As long as those Yiren coalition troops do not come to the sea area of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to care about them.

There are indeed many deficiencies in the Ming Dynasty today, and if it is true that it is the arrival of the prosperous era, it is understandable. But the idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace, Mao Wenlong felt that he was right. If you want to live a peaceful life, those rich wolves who are eyeing them must all be eliminated. Allowing them to stumble will only fuel their arrogance.

Mao Wenlong didn't care about Hong Chengchou's letter, although Hong Chengchou was a veteran of the two dynasties, he also had his own set of views on the general trend of the world. But compared with Mao Wenlong, he still has some memories of later generations.

Mao Wenlong knows how great the harm is to the people, and if he doesn't kill them all, he must not give up. Only by beating them all can we ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty.

Training cannot be stopped for a moment, and the elite fleet must be built as soon as possible, these are the most important things in front of Mao Wenlong. No one can shake his mind.

When the real winter comes, there is more than just thin ice on the sea, and the icebreaker built by Xin Wei is also starting to be difficult to use. With limited power, the ship could not move when it encountered thick ice.

Training could only be forced to stop, and Mao Wenlong could only be in a hurry. At this moment, Mao Wenlong thought that if the training place was on the sea in the south, there would be no freezing on the sea surface. But it was too late to change now, and the warships couldn't even go out of the port where they docked, and it was even more impossible to go to the south.

Training at sea stopped, but training on land could not stop, and Mao Wenlong intended to build a fleet close to modernization. Use great force to knock down all enemy forces, except for the advanced steam engine warships. Hot air balloons are also a must-have, in short, the tactics of sea, land and air integration have begun to be slowly embodied with Mao Wenlong's efforts.
