Chapter 923: Hong Chengchou who miscalculated
Mao Wenlong's method of digging the front feet is very simple, and it is also very rough. It can be said that the Dongjiang Army was completely brought out by him, and among the Dongjiang Army, his status and prestige are irreplaceable.
Obviously, Hong Chengchou miscalculated this time, and it will be a painful lesson.
Arriving at the military camp on the outskirts, Mao Wenlong's arrival had been notified in advance. All the generals who were staying in Nanjing at the moment came out to greet them.
Chen Jisheng, Chen Qiyu, Liu Guangzuo, Xu Fuzuo, Hao Xiao, Qingfeng, Da Niu, Da Hu, Da Xiong. These old men in the army gathered together rarely, standing outside the gate of the barracks, looking forward to Mao Wenlong's arrival.
Since the complete unification of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong has devoted himself to the water army. As for the army, he rarely takes care of it anymore, but this does not affect his status and prestige in the army.
"See the Commander-in-Chief!" The nine generals waited for Mao Wenlong's arrival and bowed in unison.
Looking at the familiar and much older faces in front of him, Mao Wenlong also felt a lot of emotion in his heart. The nine people in front of him are undoubtedly veterans who followed him on the battlefield.
Just as Mao Wenlong was sighing, six more people came up behind the nine people, and they all bent down and clasped their fists and saluted: "See the general soldiers." ”
These six people are none other than Hong Chengchou's henchmen, Li Jie, Fan Kaiming, Ju Yingzhuo, Wei Xingwen, Feng Gaojun, and Ji Wenshan.
"No need to be polite, let's all go inside and talk." Mao Wenlong waved his hand casually, and then strode into the barracks.
Among the largest commanders in the Chinese army, Mao Wenlong is in the first place, accompanied by fifteen generals on both sides below. Fifteen people knew that Mao Wenlong had suddenly arrived, and there must have been something to say, and after all the people sat down, no one spoke again.
Mao Wenlong's gaze wandered back and forth on the bodies of everyone below, silent and expressionless. made the atmosphere in the entire tent extremely dull, and the generals began to be apprehensive in their hearts, speculating what Mao Wenlong was going to announce this time, and he was so serious?
didn't let everyone wait too long, and after Mao Wenlong felt that the atmosphere he had created was almost the same, he said directly: "This general soldier came here this time just for one thing. ”
At this point, Mao Wenlong's eyes surveyed the crowd again, and he didn't find anyone showing an inappropriate look. Mao Wenlong continued: "I believe you all know more or less about some of the difficulties encountered by the navy recently. And I'm here to solve this problem. ”
After finishing speaking, the generals below immediately began to exchange heads, and Chen Jisheng stood up directly and laughed: "Chief soldier, what do you want to do, give a word of order." I, Chen Jisheng, have no problem coming and going in the water and in the fire. ”
The corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled: "It's no longer necessary to save it in the fire, but in the water, this is the truth." ”
Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in surprise after a while: "The meaning of the general soldier's words is to ask us the army to change to a navy?" ”
I'm not too sure, but Mao Wenlong's words just now do mean so. Chen Jisheng was very surprised, because the army did not understand water affairs at all. In the same way, the navy did not understand how to kill the enemy on land.
There is a big difference between the two armies, but in this case, Mao Wenlong seems to be trying to muddy the two armies.
Mao Wenlong nodded heavily, and then said in a surprising voice: "And what I want this time is not a little bit, but all of you who are willing to join the navy can go." ”
Chen Qiyu was suddenly shocked, he got up and clenched his fists: "Chief soldier, then if we all leave, how should this army fill the vacancy?" ”
There is no doubt that these old subordinates who have followed Mao Wenlong for many years will naturally follow Mao Wenlong without hesitation. Although they still don't know anything about water warfare, they are willing to learn from scratch.
It's just that, according to what Mao Wenlong just said, there may be a lot of troops to be transferred by the army this time. With such a big vacancy vacating all of a sudden, Chen Qiyu was afraid that it would shake the army's ability to control in Daming?
Mao Wenlong chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "Mr. naturally has to worry about such things, he will fill these vacancies well, you don't have to have any worries." ”
After finishing speaking, after a pause, Mao Wenlong looked at the nine subordinates who had been following him and said in a deep voice: "What do you nine mean, go or not, give me an answer now." ”
Mao Wenlong only asked nine people, but he didn't ask Hong Chengchou's six henchmen. Obviously wanting to exclude them, Li Jie and Fan Kaiming's faces changed drastically on the spot.
According to Mao Wenlong's approach, their lord Hong Chengchou will be in trouble next. Li Jie was anxious, and without waiting for Chen Jisheng and them to reply, he stood up and persuaded Mao Wenlong first: "Chief soldier, please think twice." ”
Mao Wenlong held back his glance and sneered: "You don't need to talk nonsense, this general soldier allows you to go to Mr. to report now." ”
Li Jie was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and didn't say more. Together with the other five, they got up and took their leave, and withdrew from the big tent.
As soon as these six people left, Chen Jisheng laughed: "Chief soldier, I, Chen Jisheng, am the first to lead all my subordinates and am willing to go to the sea with you." ”
Chen Jisheng was the first to make a statement, followed by Chen Qiyu, and then the rest of the people also expressed their positions. None of them flinched, all of them were willing to join the Navy.
got the expected answer, Mao Wenlong was very happy, and these nine old subordinates joined. Not only will the strength of the navy be doubled, but the problem of difficulty in recruiting troops will be solved immediately.
There were bursts of laughter and laughter in the big tent, and then the nine generals left separately, leaving only Mao Wenlong in the big tent. Adou is still guarding his side inch by inch, since the last time he was assassinated by the Japanese at sea, Adou has not dared to leave Mao Wenlong's side for half a step, even if he is now in the barracks of the Dongjiang Army, he has never relaxed his vigilance.
Mao Wenlong was holding a silver kettle in one hand, and the smell of wine was overflowing, and Adou, who had never drunk a drop of wine, secretly swallowed his saliva. His subtle changes didn't seem to escape Mao Wenlong's perception, he suddenly handed the wine jug to Adou, and said with a smile: "Take it if you want to drink, don't be like a wooden man." ”
After a while, still without waiting for Adou to take the wine jug, Mao Wenlong raised his eyes and swept it. I found that this guy was still hesitating. Rolling his eyes, Mao Wenlong accentuated his tone this time: "This is a military camp, you don't have to be so vigilant." ”
In the end, Adou couldn't resist the temptation of the wine, he reached out and took the flask, and he couldn't wait to drink it with a smirk.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the big tent, and Hong Chengchou's figure appeared later. Mao Wenlong showed a victorious smile on his face, and lifted the wine jug on the table again, his expression was indifferent!
