Mao Chengzuo stood quietly behind Mao Wenlong, seemingly inadvertently said, his eyes fixed on Mao Wenlong, wanting to see his reaction.
Mao Wenlong turned around and looked at Mao Chengzuo, "Don't say this in the future, and you don't have to test me. I just tell you one thing, no matter what Zhao Zongbing wants to do in the future, we can only follow him unconditionally.
Now I can see the morals of the world clearly. Those ministers in the imperial court don't take us seriously at all. They are all people who only know how to fight for power and profit.If it wasn't for Zhao Zongbing, I guess Daming would have died. "
Listening to Mao Wenlong's words, Mao Chengzuo's eyes flashed with excitement.
This is the first time Mao Wenlong has said such words to him in so many years, expressing his position.
Mao Chengzuo couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "The child will obey the father's order, and will definitely do things for Zhao Zongbing."
"Okay, let's go back too. From now on, Phi Island will be Zhao Zongbing's naval base, and there can be no mistakes.
By the way, has the person who leaked the secret of the treasure ship found out? "Mao Wenlong looked at Mao Chengzuo.
A fierce light flashed in Mao Chengzuo's eyes, and he said sharply: "I found out, it's Li Chenghai, one of our lieutenants.
When he was doing business on the island, he lost money in gambling because of itchy hands, so he sold the news to Zheng Yiguan and the others. "
"Hmph, it turned out to be this guy. Gambling is strictly prohibited in the army, and gambling is not allowed when you go out. It turns out that the general's order is a joke, and he betrayed the secrets of the army.
It's just a messy thing, clean him up for me, and let Zongbing Zhao deal with him himself when Zongbing Zhao comes back. "
A ruthless light flashed in Mao Wenlong's eyes.
"We have to keep up with Zongbing Zhao, and there must be no mistakes in the soldiers and horses in our hands.
In the past, the sources of our soldiers were messy, but now I have to clean up those generals who are fooling around and those who have unknown origins and wronged minds. "
Mao Chengzuo clasped his fist at Mao Wenlong, and said in a deep voice, "My child understands!"
"Also, let's go to the seaport later, Zongbing Zhao will replenish supplies there, so don't delay." Mao Wenlong suddenly remembered what Zhao Wen had told him, and hurriedly said to Mao Chengzuo.
The reason why Zhao Wen chose to replenish supplies at the seaport is because the area of the seaport is large enough to replenish supplies faster.
In addition, all the treasure ships that go to sea are gathered there, and the supplement can be clearly organized.
Zhao Wen stood on the top of the Yangwei Treasure Ship Building. Holding a binoculars, he looked at the treasure ships that were gradually converging toward the estuary, and shouted to Qi Qingtian beside him, "Let all the treasure ships stop at the estuary one by one and supply fresh water and food. .This time we will come back after seven days at sea."
Qi Qingtian nodded, and then passed on Zhao Wen's order.
The sun gradually darkened, and five treasure ships like hills stopped at the mouth of the sea, replenishing supplies.
The sailors also hung lanterns on the treasure ship, waiting quietly.
Zhao Wen was sitting on the top of the building boat, and beside him was a round table, which was filled with all kinds of food.
Mao Wenlong, Qi Qingtian, Zhao Daniu, and Mao Chengzuo sat in turn.
Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong who was sitting across from him, picked up the teacup on the table, and said to Mao Wenlong: "The supplies will be replenished at noon tomorrow, and going to sea for training is a big deal, so I will replace wine with tea and toast Brother Mao." .”
Mao Wenlong hurriedly picked up the teacup, flattered and said: "Brother Zhao, you've really spoiled me. If you want to respect, I'm here to respect you."
"I have to respect you for this cup. During the time I was not in Phi Island, without you, I am afraid that the treasure ship would not have been built so quickly.
You have made great contributions to the completion of the treasure ship as scheduled, and I must respect you for this cup. "Zhao Wen said sonorously while holding a teacup.
Mao Wenlong saw that Zhao Wen insisted on this, so he couldn't shirk it, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, come, drink this cup to the full."
Mao Wenlong yelled, and then drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.
Zhao Wen also drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, brother Zhao is bold." Mao Wenlong put down his teacup and laughed.
……
The treasure ship was huge and there were many people on it. It was already noon the next day when the supplies were replenished.
Zhao Wen stood above the ship building, feeling the sea breeze blowing over, his face was full of satisfaction.
"My lord, the supplies have been replenished." Zhao Daniu was now under the ship tower, looking at Zhao Wen on the ship tower, and shouted loudly.
Zhao Wen nodded, then pointed to the southwest direction, and shouted loudly: "Direction southwest, advance at full speed."
"Wooooooow~~"
After Zhao Wen's voice fell, the soldiers standing on the watchtower waved the flags in their hands and passed on Zhao Wen's order.
At the same time, the sailors on the treasure ship also sounded the horn.
For a while, there was a humming sound floating on the entire sea.
At the same time, in Anhai Town, Jinjiang, Fujian Province, Zheng Yiguan was sitting in the hall of his house in Anhai Town. He looked at the people sitting in the hall, and frowned slightly, "Have our manpower and boats assembled yet?"
"Brother, there are still about ten days to complete the assembly. This time we have assembled [-] warships, tens of thousands of horses, and we will be able to snatch all those treasure ships back."
Zheng Yiguan's second younger brother, Zheng Zhihu, sat at Zheng Yiguan's subordinate position, with a fierce light flashing on his face.
Zheng Yiguan has more than 1000 ships and nearly 2000 ships. This time, he mobilized all the ships that could be mobilized except for the necessary defensive places.
Using so many ships seems like a big deal, but Zheng Yiguan understands that although there are many ships in his hands, most of them are small ships.
There are not many large ships, and a ship of the level of a treasure ship, to a certain extent, one can be worth dozens or even hundreds of ordinary small ships.
"It's just a small Dongjiang town general who dares to build a treasure ship privately, trying to meddle in the affairs of the sea, and doesn't take a picture of himself to see what he is."
Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Yiguan's third younger brother, also yelled angrily.
"Do you think that Mao Wenlong can build a treasure ship? We all live at sea, and it is already quite difficult to build ordinary ships, let alone treasure ships? Do you think Mao Wenlong has the strength to build them?
What's more, the blueprints for building the treasure ships have been missing for 200 years. Where did he get the blueprints for the treasure ships?Where did you get the craftsman from?Where did you get so much money?
I really can't believe that a small Dongjiang town general can build a treasure ship, and there are still eight ships. "
Zheng Yiguan sat on the main seat, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his face was full of doubts.
Zheng Zhihu sneered, and said, "Brother, why do you care so much? Anyway, there are eight treasure ships on Phi Island now. These are treasure ships, or eight. If we get these treasure ships in our hands, who will be on the whole sea?" Or our opponent?"
"Yeah, brother, why do you care so much? We haven't seen such a big storm in all these years? We have countless ships under our command, just grab it." Zheng Zhibao also echoed.
Zheng Yiguan patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, "In this case, then pass my order to speed up the assembly of the fleet, and then go directly to Phi Island."
At this time, Zhao Wen was standing on the tower of the treasure ship Yangwei, pointing to the sea to the left, and shouted to the orderly beside him: "There is an enemy ship two miles to the left, fire on me. "
When Zhao Wen gave an order, the messenger standing beside Zhao Wen hurriedly waved the flag in his hand, and passed on Zhao Wen's order with the flag language.
The treasure ship is too big, and the distance from the ship tower to the artillery is quite long. In addition, on the sea, the waves are loud, and if there is a battle in the future, the artillery will also be loud, so semaphore is used to transmit orders.
After the messenger passed on the order, the soldiers on the left side of the ship hurriedly turned the launcher.
After the position was adjusted, the soldier opened the box with the rockets next to it, and loaded the 107 rockets inside into the launcher.
In addition to the soldiers on the deck, the soldiers in the launch port below the deck also put 40 fire out of the muzzle.
"fire!"
Zhao Wen roared angrily, and the messenger behind him hurriedly waved the flag in his hand.
Within a few breaths, the eight launchers on the left side of the ship continued to spew tongues of fire, and rockets continued to fly out of the muzzles below the deck.
For a time, the entire deck was filled with gunpowder smoke.
The 107 rockets flew towards the left like rain, and the 40 fires below the deck continued to fly out.
Seeing such ferocious firepower, Zhao Wen couldn't help but nodded.
In the following seven days, the five treasure ships continued to conduct exercises, rehearsing all the emergencies that could be encountered on the battlefield.
Qi Qingtian was not idle during this time, and under Zhao Wen's arrangement, he wrote various plans for the development of Taiyuan Island.
When Zhao Wen's fleet docked at the estuary again, Zhao Wen ordered all these soldiers to disembark from the battleship and take a good rest for a few days.
When Zhao Wen was formulating the battle plan, the spies Zhao Wen sent to the southeast coast rushed to Phi Island in a sea boat.
Under the leadership of Zhao Daniu, the spies walked into Zhao Wen's office room.
"My lord, Zheng Yiguan's fleet is almost assembled, and it won't be long before they come over." The spy looked at Zhao Wen in the room, and took out a detailed battle report from his pocket.
Zhao Wen hurriedly took over the battle report and read it carefully.
"Eight hundred warships, hehe, this Zheng Yiguan is really overwhelmed by Hubotu and Mount Tai."
Zhao Wen slapped the battle report in his hand on the table and kept sneering.
What the battle report said was similar to what the spies said.
Zheng Yiguan assembled [-] ships of various kinds, and the ships covered the entire sea.
Those Hong Yi who were extremely arrogant on the sea on weekdays also clamped their tails tightly, not daring to swagger.
The goal of Zheng Yiguan's dispatch of [-] warships was to destroy the entire Phi Island in one fell swoop and plunder the eight treasure ships intact.

Chapter 298
Zhao Wen put the military newspaper in his hand on the table and stood up from the chair.
To be honest, although Zhao Wen is not afraid of Zheng Yiguan's assembly of more than 800 warships, he still has a little concern in his heart.
It is impossible to be [-]% sure, after all, these are [-] warships.
If Zheng Yiguan didn't directly attack him and let the pirates use small warships to attack with fire, then he really might not be able to withstand it.
As soon as Zhao Wen thought of this, a trace of anxiety gradually appeared on his face, but he quickly left it behind.
Zheng Yiguan's main target is these few treasure ships of his own. If he uses the method of fire attack, there is a high chance that the treasure ships will be burned down. It is impossible for him to do such a thing.
After all, burning down the treasure ship would not do him any good.
After figuring this out, a smile gradually appeared on Zhao Wen's face.
But five ships are fighting against [-] ships. Although we have the weapons of later generations, we can't just take it lightly. We still have to make preparations.
There are also plans that should be made. How to fight this battle, all of this must be planned in advance.
"Come on, go to the General Military Mansion." Zhao Wen picked up the military newspaper on the table, shouted, and then went outside.
Zhao Daniu stood beside Zhao Wen, looked at Zhao Wen who was walking out, and hurriedly followed.
Qi Qingtian, who was about to come over to look for Zhao Wen, looked at Zhao Wen who was in a hurry, and followed quickly.
After a while, Zhao Wen arrived at the General Army Mansion of Dongjiang Town.
"Brother Zhao!"
Just as he walked to the gate of the General Military Mansion, Zhao Wen saw Mao Wenlong who had just walked out.
"I have something for you."
Zhao Wen walked up to Mao Wenlong and handed over the military report in his hand to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen with a dignified expression, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
He took the military newspaper and hurriedly read it.
After a few breaths, Mao Wenlong's face was extremely ugly.
"This Zheng Yiguan wants to drive us all to extinction. It's a good way. There are more than 800 ships. He has got all his old background out. It seems that he is bound to win the treasure ship."
Mao Wenlong pinched the military newspaper, his face turned pale, and he cursed angrily.
Zhao Wendao: "Now is not the time to scold him, but to formulate a perfect plan first."
"Let's talk in the hall, this is not the place to talk." Mao Wenlong nodded and welcomed Zhao Wen in.
Zhao Wen originally planned to sit in the vice seat, but Mao Wenlong insisted on letting Zhao Wen sit in the chief seat, but Zhao Wen refused, so he had to obey Mao Wenlong's arrangement.
"Brother Zhao, wait a moment. I'll call all the guerrillas in our army and ask them to share their opinions. After all, there are more people than men."
Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting on the main seat, and said.
Zhao Wen nodded, "You can arrange it yourself, the three cobblers are Zhuge Liang."
Two or three quarters of an hour later, the entire hall was full of people.
Zhao Wen looked at the people sitting in the hall, and nodded to Mao Wenlong sitting next to him.
Mao Wenlong took out the general newspaper that Mao Wenlong understood, sat on a chair and read it.
When Mao Wenlong's last word fell, the entire hall fell into silence.
Zhao Wen looked at the silent crowd and said, "I don't know if you have anything to say?"
