100,000 troops were stationed in Nagasaki City, and the small Nagasaki City could not accommodate it at all, and in the end, Mao Wenlong ordered that the 100,000 troops were directly stationed on the dock side and set up camp!

And Hong Chengchou, along with those students who came to be officials and generals in the army, followed Mao Wenlong into the city together. Compatriots from afar, Mao Wenlong naturally will not be treated badly, and he prepared a grand banquet early in the morning to catch the wind and wash the dust for everyone.

For a while, Nagasaki Castle began to come alive, and the streets and alleys were full of joy. How can there be a scene of depression after the previous war, hundreds of students and juniors of the army generals can be seated. There was no table in the mansion, so it was arranged directly outside.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone was very well-behaved, but it gradually became lively, with the sound of drinking orders and yelling one after another. The newcomers naturally didn't dare to be so presumptuous, and everyone would heck because veterans like Chen Jisheng took the lead.

Since the overseas expedition, veterans like Chen Jisheng have not been so debauched for two or three years. It's rare to have this opportunity today, and they naturally won't follow the rules. Regarding the noise outside, Mao Wenlong didn't stop drinking, they are all men in the army, and their nature should be lively, but it's rare to be peaceful now, so they will go with their happiness.

The hall in the palace was quite quiet, and there were only two people inside, Hong Chengchou and Mao Wenlong, Hong Chengchou put down his wine glass, frowned and said: "This is the national wine of the Japanese country, which is worse than boiled water." ”

Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard this: "If Mr. can't get used to drinking, then we can't change it to Yiren's grape wine." ”

"Grape Making...... That's good! Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

Mao Wenlong then turned around and ordered Haoda, who was waiting on the side, who nodded and left quickly, and came back after a while, with two jars of grapes in his hands.

The moment the jar was opened, the aroma of wine overflowed, Mao Wenlong liked the aroma of wine very much, he shrugged his nose and took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "These are all good things collected from the Yiren warship, I have always collected them and rarely drank them." ”

Seeing Mao Wenlong's recommendation, Hong Chengchou also began to be curious, this grape wine is also quite popular in Daming. In particular, some literati students are very fond of it, and Hong Chengchou has always thought that these are things that are Yiren, and he disdains to try them.

Naturally, you can't use a porcelain cup to drink grape wine, and Mao Wenlong then asked Haoda to replace it with a glass cup. The glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, the crystal glass full of grape wine suddenly becomes brilliant.

Mao Wenlong picked up the cup and motioned for Hong Chengchou to raise his glass and drink. After the two of them took a sip, Hong Chengchou nodded and smiled: "This grape wine does have a unique flavor. ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "If Mr. likes it, I have some there, and Mr. can go and get it at any time." ”

Hong Chengchou didn't say anything polite to Mao Wenlong, accepted it calmly, and then said with a smile: "If the chief soldier has something to say, he might as well say it bluntly, and he will definitely not shirk what the old minister can do." ”

Being seen through by the old fox at a glance, Mao Wenlong didn't feel embarrassed at all, but he took it for granted: "Mr. Wise, in fact, it's not a big deal, that is, after the Wa Kingdom, Mr. Lao will govern on his behalf." The son-in-law's side will set sail again in a month and continue to sweep the surrounding seas. ”

Hong Chengchou frowned after hearing this, and said; "Why is the general soldier in such a hurry?"

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "There is more than one Japanese country in the vast sea, and there is also North Korea, that is, there are no less than a dozen small overseas countries entrenched near our Ming Dynasty. Only by completely conquering these small countries can our Ming Dynasty truly enjoy a peaceful and prosperous era. ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated, but did not refute Mao Wenlong, this time he went to sea, he also broadened his horizons. The vast sea is indeed much bigger than he imagined, and Hong Chengchou is very smart not to express any opinions on things that he is not good at.

"Since the chief soldier is going to go on the expedition, the old ministers on the side of the Japanese country will take care of it properly, and please rest assured that the general soldier is." Although Hong Chengchou had just arrived in the country and had not yet truly understood the situation here, he was very confident.

Hong Chengchou's ability, Mao Wenlong naturally did not need to question it, he raised his glass again and signaled Hong Chengchou to drink together, and said with a smile: "Mr.'s ability, the son-in-law is full of faith." With a gentleman sitting here, the son-in-law can go overseas with peace of mind. ”

Mao Wenlong's words are not compliments, but real truth. Although Mao Jingwen was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was also taught by Hong Chengchou and assisted so far, so that there is the prosperity of today's Ming Dynasty.

In front of his family, Hong Chengchou naturally didn't need to be polite, he completely accepted Mao Wenlong's praise, and then asked with a smile: "If the general army is not prepared, tell the old minister about the current situation of the Japanese country." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "After two years of war, the Japanese Kingdom was threatened by the Yi army before, and it can be said that it is now in ruins. The famine among the people was very serious, and the officers and soldiers and the Japanese were completely absorbed or exterminated by us. At present, the city is guarded by us, and there is no chaos, but those suburbs are completely different, killing people and goods, robbers are rampant, and it can be said that the people are not living. ”

Hong Chengchou frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he asked suspiciously: "Then why don't these people in the suburbs come to the city to ask for help?" ”

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "The xenophobia of the people of the Japanese country greatly exceeded the expectations of the son-in-law. Previously, the son-in-law also thought that as long as the court of the current Wa Kingdom was destroyed, it would be easy to unify the entire Wa Kingdom. But these people are willing to face the robbers and die and refuse to come to us. ”

After hearing about such a situation, Hong Chengchou suddenly felt that it was difficult to deal with it, after all, the people of the Wa Kingdom were so resistant to the Dongjiang Army. It is bound to bring great resistance to governance, especially the officials brought from the Ming Dynasty, all of whom are students who have no experience as officials. This indicates that Hong Chengchou is very likely to have to do it himself and spend more thought.

Seeing Hong Chengchou's serious face, Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment and said: "Is there anything difficult about Mr., don't be afraid to say it, as long as the son-in-law does his best, he will do it for you." ”

Hong Chengchou was very old, and Mao Wenlong invited him to come, but he didn't want to go. Seeing that he was embarrassed at this moment, he opened his mouth to ask.

Mao Wenlong's concern was very sincere, Hong Chengchou did not doubt it at all, he shook his head and said: "How can it be easy to govern a country, the general army does not have to worry about it, since the old minister is here, any difficulties will be overcome." ”

After speaking, Hong Chengchou suddenly laughed again and said, "This time, there are also mother and daughter who came with the old minister, and the chief soldier can't guess who it is?" ”

Mao Wenlong was quite surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a woman who followed the battleship to sea!
