Chapter 31. The wolf is coming
It is different from the low-key when he set off, Mao Dashuai returned to Hong Kong, it was called a big fanfare, more than 20 huge battleship sails with sails, at a glance, the close battleship on the bronze guns on the deck with fierce eyes on the gun, and the most elite soldiers in Dongjiang Town carrying flags on both sides of the stand guard, the handsome majesty, here is undoubtedly revealed.
The boat came an hour earlier to report the news, when Mao Jue arrived, the generals of the Dongjiang River on the military port had already been waiting there, waiting for the return of the marshal, among which the leader was Chen Jisheng, the deputy chief of the Dongjiang River, but this person had no real power, just a name, and he didn't know which big eunuch in the court was behind him.
Next to him is Shen Shikui, behind him, but there is really a small gang, and more than 20 generals surnamed Shen are next to him.
Mao Youde, Mao Kexi, Mao Zhongming, even if the three famous Ming traitors are in a group at this time, the three of them are next to each other, but it can be seen that their status in the army is not too high, and next to them are some small officials such as thousands of households and hundreds of households, not a few.
The small Dongjiang Town is also full of mountains, and there are seven or eight forces on a harbor, but the big guys are doing one thing, waiting for Mao Wenlong's return, the founder of this base behind enemy lines, can put such scattered people together, Mao Wenlong's ability can be seen, no wonder the former Denglai Governor Yuan Keli was in Mao Wenlong's confrontation, he would rather choose to go into the wilderness by himself, but also to protect him.
came a little late, looking at such a look, Mao Jue was in trouble for a while, wandering and not knowing which team to add, fortunately, Mao Youde was sharp-eyed, and when he turned around, he saw him, walked out and stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, laughed loudly and pulled him in, and joked while walking.
"My brother has been very busy recently, going to sea and fishing, and he can't even spare time to drink with his brothers. After welcoming the handsome man today, you will have to accompany my brother to get drunk and rest! ”
This Mao Youde is really a big voice, the dock is such a big place, and the noisy generals of Dongjiang Town near him all turned their heads in surprise, looking at Mao Jue's face, and they were even more stunned and bowed their heads to each other.
There are also people who know Mao Jue here, Shen Shikui's face was obviously gloomy, and he snorted coldly and skimmed his head again, in the Mao family, Mao Jue shot and killed Shen Qian, the servant of the Shen family who married in the past, this came out, and intercepted him for another trip to private goods, although three or five thousand taels is nothing to him, but this kid is against himself everywhere, Shen Shikui is comfortable and strange, because of his identity and Mao Wenlong's face, he didn't pay attention to him.
After greeting for a while, the handsome boat had already docked, and seeing Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers began to swarm on the shore bridge on the shore and rushed down, on both sides of the line, even Mao Youde and other three old hooligans became serious, respectfully to the front line of the line, behind, Mao Jue, who promised a drunken party, also hurriedly followed, with the arrival of the flag carrying the handsome soldiers, more than 100 Dongjiang generals hurriedly bowed neatly.
"The last general knocks on the handsome!"
This is also a kind of feudal, as a military leader, at any time to show majesty and influence in front of his subordinates, with the sound of bowing, Mao Wenlong's head on the Wenshan helmet, wearing a batch of brocade scale armor, laughed and walked down the ladder, brushed his beard and first looked around many generals in a large circle, and waved his sleeves forward.
"All the generals, please rise!"
"Xie Dashuai!"
Later generations have long been unaccustomed to kneeling around, and Mao Jue was eager to quickly beat his knees and stand up. After the number one order was completed, Mao Wenlong looked proud, but he glanced back, his limelight was too strong, and Mao Jue noticed that there was a tall and handsome general who followed him off the boat.
This guy looks really jealous, that face is really like a knife and axe, handsome and at the same time does not have the femininity of Xiao Xianrou, full of resolute and resolute color, and even resolute are a little overdone, slightly arrogant and yin, even if he is dozens of steps away, Mao Jue feels the threat of the stock, if he is next to this person, it is estimated that he will hold the handle of the revolver hanging from his waist at any time.
was glanced at by Mao Wenlong, and the general's face seemed to be even more gloomy.
Mao Jue was facing him, Chen Jisheng and Shen Shikui, the two deputy commanders who didn't have to kneel and salute, had already greeted him, still with that rigid face, Shen Shikui still had that rigid face, and asked in a low voice with his fists.
"Mao Shuai Ningyuan and his party, has it been smooth?"
"Smooth! Smooth tightness! ”
His voice was eight tones higher than his, and Mao Wenlong laughed and stretched out his hand to point to his fleet: "This time, Inspector Yuan treated each other politely, and also sent half a year's military salary, 200,000 taels of silver, 50,000 stone of rice, and the old man also brought it back!" ”
As soon as these words came out, a large group of Dongjiang generals suddenly showed excited looks on their faces.
Originally, Dongjiang Town's military salary was transferred from Shandong, but since Yuan Chonghuan recognized the governor of Liaodong, in order to seize power, he unified the military salary in his own hands, and also withheld the military salary of Dongjiang, which is also one of the reasons for the tension between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan.
However, this time Mao Wenlong actually brought back the military salary when Yuan Chonghuan himself was tight, no matter what kind of agreement was reached between the two bigwigs, in a certain general direction, it was Yuan Chonghuan who compromised softly.
Excluding political reasons, most of this silver still falls into the hands of generals, although powerful generals are not short of this money, but who hates money to bite their hands?
Then Mao Wenlong became like the stars holding the moon again, Mao Youde, Mao Kexi, these guys all got up, the left sentence was handsome and hard, and the other sentence was that I Dongjiang was mighty, I really didn't hold Mao Wenlong to the sky, and even Mao Jue, his own son, couldn't squeeze it.
But even if he was squeezed behind, Mao Jue also felt relieved, as long as the old man was fine, his official hat would not fall, and he could continue to be the second-generation gentleman of this official and live a comfortable life.
However, things are always full of twists and turns, this Mao Jue has not put his heart back into his stomach at ease, and Mao Wenlong, who led the generals to go back, said a cold word, and almost didn't let him carry it in one go.
Leng Buding remembered that, waving the sleeves of his suit, Mao Wenlong shouted proudly again.
"Our Dongjiang generals can't relax on this, at the beginning of this month, Inspector Yuan will come to my Phidao Town in person, all battalions and departments, and the battle formation training must be paid close attention to, and we can't fall into the prestige of our Dongjiang Town in front of Inspector Yuan!"
"The last general obeys!"
…………
"Brother, let's go? Mao Shuai sent someone to call you home for dinner! What are you doing here? ”
A welcome ceremony lasted for more than half an hour, symbolically inspecting the Xiaxi camp, Mao Wenlong and Dong Zhuo in the New Three Kingdoms, swaggering and taking his generals back to the house, this port, the most elite Dongjiang Ruiwu camp he took away was also returned to the camp, to eat and drink.
Mao Wenlong brought back more than a dozen more boats this time, and from those grain carriers, there were also van soldiers who kept carrying bags of rice grain downwards, occasionally opening a bag, all of which were high-quality polished rice.
Mao Jue was like a fool, staring at these things in a daze.
Mao Youde talked and laughed and turned around, only to see Mao Jue, who was stupidly stunned, and Wen Meng, who was yawning beside him, and a few other personal soldiers, and wondered, this goods had a huge wine belly, and a slap on Mao Jue's shoulder.
It seemed that as if he had just woken up from a dream, Mao Jue couldn't help but be excited, but then he suddenly grabbed Mao Youde's sleeve and asked hurriedly.
"This time the grain is here, is it my soldiers from Dongjiang Town, or from Liaodong Town?"
"It should be from Liaodong Town, after all, Mao Shuai brought all the soldiers, no matter these miscellaneous things."
Scratching his head honestly, Mao Youde laughed again and patted Mao Jue on the shoulder: "Don't talk about this, you don't treat your brother well these days, right?" Tonight, my brother must remember to say a few words for my brother in front of Mao Shuai! ”
After all, his godson is not as good as his own son, and Mao Wenlong has more godsons, and he is still thinking about the distribution of food and military salaries, Mao Youde's round face is like a sunflower, who knows that Mao Jue is not happy at all, but his face is gloomy and terrible.
"What the elder brother said, the younger brother remembered, today's matter is urgent, the younger brother will not accompany him much, so he will leave!"
As he spoke, he led the dizzy Wen Meng again, Mao Jue walked like a fly, and walked gloomily towards the port, looking at his back, Mao Youde once again scratched his head with his thick slap.
"What's the matter, this kid, who has offended him?"
"Brother Son, think so carefully, just like the little girls, how can you be like a few of our brothers, rectum!"
Coming up from behind, Mao Zhongming stretched out his arm around his neck, and said indifferently while hooking out: "Whatever, it's important to drink!" ”
"yes, fuck me, drink!"
The famous King Sanshun in later generations was still satisfied with the identity of a drunkard at this time, and he didn't know the danger that was coming, and sometimes he realized that it was also a blessing, unlike Mao Jue, who was full of fear and nervousness at this time, and he was worried.
"Young Master, aren't we going back home?"
When Mao Wenlong returned to the house today, it is estimated that there must be a banquet in the house, with good wine and good meat going up, waiting for Mao Jue to come out of the West Camp, but he saw that his master and nephew were like ants on the hot pot, circling around the horse's buttocks, even if they refused to get on the horse, they were also anxious, Wen Meng was impatiently urging.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he reached out and picked up his collar, Mao Jue's face was extremely serious for a moment, his eyes stared at Wen Meng's horse face, and he suddenly asked through gritted teeth.
"Uncle! Do you believe me? ”
