The sky is very blue and the wind is very light, and the autumn in Guangzhou Fucheng is neither cold nor hot, and the temperature is just right. In the backyard of the Governor's Palace, it is difficult for Mao Wenlong to come out and breathe. The round-up of the Sun and Moon Sect has come to an end, and although it is not so perfect, it can be regarded as complete.

Mao Wenlong stood under the cedar tree in the yard, staring at the bird's nest on the branch in a daze. Behind him was a vigilant cold wind, although it was peaceful now, those fish that had slipped through the net of the Sun and Moon Sect still made the cold wind dare not relax in any way. Especially since Bai Jiang, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, had not yet been arrested, Leng Feng did not dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest.

The hurried footsteps of the guards soon interrupted the peace in the courtyard, and Leng Feng immediately looked back, only to see the guards outside the courtyard hurriedly come to him, clasp their fists and whisper: "Yun Lan Yun Shuai asks to see the chief soldier." ”

Leng Feng frowned, and just wanted the guards to blow people away, but Mao Wenlong spoke first: "Let him in!" ”

The guards didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly took the order to leave. But Leng Feng looked puzzled: "Chief soldier, it's rare that you have free today, why do you still care about him?" ”

In the past two months, Mao Wenlong has not met any officials anywhere, and he has been hiding his whereabouts. Although the Sun Moon Sect is no longer a threat at this moment, Mao Wenlong's whereabouts are still being kept secret. But this Yun Lan came over, which is enough to prove that this Yun Lan has always known where Mao Wenlong is.

The whereabouts of the chief soldier were actually known by an outsider, but he Leng Feng did not know, that is, his Leng Feng was derelict in his duties. Therefore, Leng Feng was very concerned about Mao Wenlong's attitude. At this moment, seeing that Mao Wenlong was actually allowed to meet Yun Lan, he couldn't help but be confused by the cold wind.

Smiling, Mao Wenlong walked into the hall and said, "You kid don't have to keep his nerves up, even if Bai Jiang is still not caught, he will never dare to come to trouble this general soldier." As for the whereabouts of this commander-in-chief, it has ceased to be a secret since the morning. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong stopped abruptly, although the cold wind still had many puzzles, but he didn't dare to ask any further. As a subordinate, the master has already talked about this, and if he continues to dwell on it, it will be disrespectful to the master.

"Yun Lan asks to see the chief soldier!" Yun Lan was still standing at the door dressed as a scholar, clasping her fists and saluting Mao Wenlong.

"Come in!" Mao Wenlong glanced up and said casually.

"Xie Zongbing!" Yun Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, and strode into the hall.

Mao Wenlong didn't say anything more, his eyes moved away from Yun Lan's body, and he picked up the still steaming tea cup and slowly picked it up. The hall suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became very solemn. Yun Lan, who was still at ease just now, immediately felt a burst of depression at this moment, and he cautiously raised his eyes and peeked at Mao Wenlong.

Yun Lan found that Mao Wenlong didn't mean to blame herself, and her heart suddenly calmed down a lot. After hesitating for a moment, Yun Lan spoke: "Chief soldier, Yun Lan took the liberty to come to ask for a meeting, and he was really forced to do it, and I hope that the chief soldier will forgive me." ”

"Oh, Yun Shuai is a hero, he has made great contributions to our navy, so why not say it. This general soldier will not make you suffer! Mao Wenlong said with a smile.

Since Yun Lan arrived, Mao Wenlong had already guessed in his heart what he was doing here. At the beginning, it was just to suppress Yun Lan, and judging from the current situation, the effect has been achieved.

"Chief Xie praised it, Yun Lan didn't dare to be ashamed!" Being praised by Mao Wenlong like this, Yun Lan was suddenly a little flattered.

"Okay, don't say anything else, Yun Shuai will talk about you!" Mao Wenlong said with a smile.

"Yesterday evening, Chen Dashuai suddenly went to Yunlan Mansion and asked his subordinates for fifty warships and all the equipment. Although his subordinates have saved a little money in recent years, they can't hand over so much at once. But Chen Dashuai took out the jade pendant given by the general soldier, which made his subordinates have no way to refuse. In desperation, his subordinates could only agree to Chen Dashuai's request and hand over all his family funds. Yun Lan paused at this point, showing a pitiful look and looking at Mao Wenlong.

"What Yun Shuai means by saying is that how can this general soldier make up for you?" Mao Wenlong was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Chen Jisheng would actually start directly from Yun Lan. And he succeeded, and he got everything he needed in one fell swoop. Out of guilt, Mao Wenlong still felt that he needed to make up for Yun Lan.

The latter was overjoyed when he heard this, and from Mao Wenlong's tone just now, Yun Lan knew that he had not lost hope for this trip. After a moment of planning, Yun Lan responded cautiously: "My subordinates know that the navy is in short supply at the moment, and they don't dare to ask for someone from the chief soldier. There is only one request from the subordinates, hoping that the general soldier can be delegated to his subordinates, so that his subordinates can recruit troops on their own. And also...... There are also the fifty warships that have been handed over, and the commander-in-chief is also requested to promise his subordinates that they can be reequipped and returned to their subordinates within a year in the future. ”

These demands are reasonable and not excessive, just when everyone thought that Mao Wenlong would happily agree to Yun Lan. Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong frowned and pondered there. As Mao Wenlong pondered, the hall slowly became silent, and the air seemed to freeze, making it difficult for several people present to breathe.

Just when everyone was about to run out of breath, Mao Wenlong said with a wry smile: "Yun Lan, your request is not too much at all, it's just that you are recruiting troops privately, and it is difficult for this general soldier to be satisfied with you." ”

A trace of panic flashed in Yun Lan's eyes, he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to be so careful that he would be able to find out the problem at the first time. You must know that the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty is definitely the first in the navy, and it is also a sharp sword of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, Mao Wenlong did not hesitate to spend a great price to separate the navy from the academy and set up a special naval academy.

This naval academy is used to teach officers and train cadets, and the entire Ming Dynasty will recruit more than 100,000 students every year. Except for some students who have been eliminated, the remaining students will be assigned to the garrisons in various places after completing one year of study. This also means that the naval garrison generals in various parts of the Ming Dynasty cannot recruit troops on their own, and everything has to be distributed by the academy.

But Yun Lan opened his mouth to ask Mao Wenlong to delegate this power to him, which would undoubtedly break the original rules. Breaking the original rules for the sake of a Yunlan, Mao Wenlong felt that it was inappropriate. Once this opening is opened, the entire navy will be out of control in the future. The authority of the royal family would be threatened by this.

At first, Yun Lan was also afraid that if she made this request, it would make Mao Wenlong misunderstand her. But he felt that he was loyal to the royal family, and he had no second heart for Mao Wenlong, and he had a clear conscience, plus Yun Lan understood Mao Wenlong as a person. He felt that Mao Wenlong was a reasonable person and would definitely not misunderstand himself, but he didn't think about it, Mao Wenlong finally rejected his request.
