Some people are willing to choose a comfortable life, while some people are not willing to be ordinary, even if they fight for their lives, they will be earth-shattering. Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't help it, although Mao Wenlong is out of kindness, he doesn't want these old subordinates who follow him to fight the world and die well when they are old.

But their ideas were obviously beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations, the ancients valued the most affection, especially these people who fought on the battlefield. On the battlefield they usually give their backs to their companions, regardless of each other. Only in this way can they work together to defeat every enemy and achieve ultimate victory.

Blood, loyalty, and affection are all friendships that are difficult to obtain in later generations. Now, Mao Wenlong has so many thousands of subordinates, what regrets does he have in this life?

No, there are no regrets at all, even if there is no world, isn't there still a group of loyal and courageous old generals? Mao Wenlong compromised, and for the first time in his life, he felt that his previous decision was so stupid.

"Go back and pack up your belongings, and gather at the dock early tomorrow morning. Don't think that if you're all veterans, I'll open the net, there's no such thing. Anyone must be tested in the same way, and only those who are qualified can enter the training of the new army. Mao Wenlong pressed the surging in his heart and pretended to be a tiger.

"Mr. Xie is complete!" Everyone was overjoyed, and Mao Wenlong's simplicity made them very happy.

Now that the matter has been finalized, everyone will disperse in a bang, scrambling to go home to deal with their own affairs, and then prepare for tomorrow's test.

Looking at the scattered guys, Mao Wenlong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. These killers can't be separated at all, and they want them to stay in the barracks and enjoy the blessings, but one by one they look like they want to fight with themselves.

After dealing with Chen Qiyu's killing of talents in a few words, Mao Wenlong immediately buried his head in his file.

Kyoshi Imperial Study.

In the past, the lights in the study were always turned off late at night, but tonight was an exception. Mao Jingwen sat firmly on the dragon chair, in good spirits, with a smile on his face.

Hong Chengchou, a military advisor, accompanied him at the bottom, his expression was free, and his face was full of spring breeze. The two most important people in the study were full of joy, and the atmosphere was naturally relaxed.

Mao Jingwen patted the neatly folded notebooks on the dragon case, and said very proudly: "Teacher, thanks to your suggestions this time, we can quickly calm down this chaos." ”

As a courtier, he naturally understands that he can't compete with the emperor for credit, and Hong Chengchou is now a minister and a retired person. If you take the credit again, you will bring about your own destruction. Such a stupid thing as a high merit is not something he did.

"The emperor should not be modest, this time he can quickly deal with the post-disaster affairs, all of which are the emperor's ideas, and the old minister is just helping to analyze it. If the emperor doesn't praise him like this, don't bother the old ministers. Also, in the matter of quelling the chaos this time, the old minister had already written to inform the chief soldier a few days ago, does the emperor want to know how the chief soldier evaluates the emperor? Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"Oh, teacher, come and listen." Mao Jingwen immediately became interested, after all, he was still a teenager, and he always hoped to be recognized by Mao Wenlong, so Mao Jingwen still cared a lot about how Mao Wenlong evaluated himself.

"The general soldier recognized the emperor's actions very much, and even praised the emperor in his reply letter for being independent enough, saying that the emperor can really be independent." Hong Chengchou read the book according to the book and informed Mao Jingwen of Mao Wenlong's original words.

When the latter heard this, he was overjoyed, but on the surface he pretended not to care. It's a pity that the joy in Mao Jingwen's eyes has seriously betrayed his heart at this moment, Hong Chengchou, an old fox, how can he not know the truth.

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he saw that Mao Wenlong's heart was surging, so he deliberately hit him, so as not to be proud and make a mistake in the future, so he continued to say: "But the general soldier also hopes that the emperor will not be proud, and should calm down and take care of the government well." Only when the emperor takes care of the government and politics can the general soldier do what he wants to do with ease. ”

Mao Jingwen nodded again and again, indicating that he would not be proud, and then asked curiously: "My father has not heard from me since I went to Weihaiwei, and I have sent people to visit me several times, but my father has refused." Can the teacher tell me what my father is doing in the academy now, so mysterious? ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "The emperor should not be too careful, the mind of the general soldier has always been left on the vast sea." His lifelong wish was to build the most powerful navy in the world during his lifetime. Then Yang Fan went out to sea to explore the unknown world. ”

Mao Wenlong has such a wish, Hong Chengchou understands it, but he just doesn't understand why Mao Wenlong is always passionate about the sea. In terms of the strength of the Ming Dynasty today, it is already the most powerful existence today. If nothing else, it is not a problem to give the Ming Dynasty a few more years of recuperation and usher in a prosperous era.

Mao Jingwen, who is a son, obviously doesn't know his father better than Hong Chengchou. After listening to Hong Chengchou's story, he became more and more confused, and opened his mouth to ask: "Now that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty are undoubtedly the most powerful existence at the moment, why is my father still so obsessed with building a more powerful navy?" The cost of building a navy has accounted for half of the financial expenditure of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now the generals on land are beginning to be dissatisfied, and just a few days ago, more than a dozen generals jointly demanded that the navy's military expenditure be reduced. ”

The financial expenditure of the navy and the academy has always been the focus of the entire Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of requirements, as long as the academy and the navy need to be the first to supply. And the army on land has always been living with their belts tightened, except for the dark guard camp and the Praetorian Guard, the rest of the army are not having a good time, no wonder these people will criticize.

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, and sighed lightly: "The general soldier has never squandered it for no reason, and he must have his considerations in doing so. It's just that now we don't know its true intentions, and now all we can do is to fully support the general soldiers, and I believe that one day we will all be able to understand the intentions of the general soldiers. ”

Mao Jingwen was a little anxious, the problem now is that more and more people in the court are beginning to be dissatisfied with the use of the navy and the academy. If we don't find a way to solve it as soon as possible, I am afraid that even more chaos will erupt in the future.

Mao Jingwen said worriedly: "Teacher, more and more people in the court are impeaching the academy and the navy. Everyone still takes into account the prestige of their father, and no one dares to speak out to impeach him. But this is not a way to go on for a long time, can the teacher have a proper solution? ”
