Wang Rulong was not in the right mood. He sat cross-legged at the stern of the boat with a long knife across his knees. No matter how much everyone sang triumphant songs, they remained silent.
"Brother, why are you unhappy again?" Ma Yinglong asked with a smile: "We have won the battle and scratched our tongue. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"It feels like you have changed a lot." Wang Rulong looked at Ma Yinglong and said with emotion, "I can't even understand some new words that came out."
"Brother is still so strong." Ma Yinglong sat down next to him and said, "I have to wait and see with admiration after three days of separation. I have been following the young master for so long, how can I still make any progress?"
"Then what have you learned?" Wang Rulong asked curiously.
"Just like the young master once said, gold and silver are not wealth, resources are." Ma Yinglong took the opportunity to teach him a lesson:
"There are many types of resources, such as mineral resources, land resources and even water resources Adults with good health are also a resource, called labor resources. And captives do not need to pay wages, so they are naturally very valuable."
"Uh" Wang Rulong smacked his lips, feeling that his thinking was indeed a bit behind.
When did gold and silver cease to be wealth? What kind of fallacy is this?
Is this still the pony that followed him around all day long and regarded him as his idol?
By the way, Ma Yinglong also has an older brother named Macron, who is also the captain of the third squadron on Xishan Island.
But because of the conflicting names, Wang Rulong has never wanted to see him. So Jin Ke didn't send his elder brother, but sent his younger brother whose name matched Wang Rulong to work with him.
??~~
But if you don¡¯t understand these new words, just don¡¯t understand them. What really bothered Wang Rulong was another thing.
After pondering for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I want to ask you privately, what do our young masters want to do?"
By doing the math, Zhao Hao already has a lot of security guards. The four hundred security guards sent to Chongming Island are also equipped with blunderbuss with superior performance.
Wang Rulong has been playing with guns for so many years, and he can tell at a glance that they are all smuggled from Guangdong.
This made General Wang feel very uneasy. What if the young master has thoughts of rebellion?
Should you follow or not?
"If you don't follow me, I will be so sorry for the young master's kindness." Hey, I'm sorry for the brave and loyal commander.
As for the court, screw it. I am worthy of it, but it is sorry for me!
Before, General Wang was so focused on making a comeback that he could suppress these things. Now that the battle is won, it's time to have to think about troubles.
"Hahaha!" Only then did Ma Yinglong know why his idol, Brother Wang, was worried.
He couldn¡¯t help laughing loudly, picked up a pebble on the bow of the boat, and made a string of water floats:
¡°General Jin has already asked Young Master the same question.¡±
"Oh? Really?" Wang Rulong's expression perked up and he couldn't help but grinned: "That's right, Xiao Jin is much more careful than me. How did the young master answer?"
"The young master said that he attaches great importance to military construction. Not only will he continue to increase investment, he will also build guns, cannons and even warships." Ma Yinglong said proudly.
"Oh my god" Wang Rulong gasped and said, "This is definitely going to cause trouble."
"Of course. There is nothing in the world that is not prepared for use." Ma Yinglong sneered and said in a deep voice: "But the young master made it very clear that the duties of Jiangnan Company's security team in Daming are limited to protecting the company's property and personnel. A purely defensive force. It talks about 'I will not attack others unless they attack me'. Even if the imperial court recruits them, they will not agree to actively use troops in the two capitals and thirteen provinces."
"As for this time, it is the Chongming Gunner Battalion's responsibility to send troops to exterminate Japanese pirates and protect the country and the people. Who can point fingers and make irresponsible remarks?"
What? Are all the gunman battalions security guards from Jiangnan Company? No way, they are just recruiting soldiers and mercenaries. It has nothing to do with Jiangnan Company anymore.
"Yes." Wang Rulong then remembered that he was still the gunner battalion commander in Chongming County, and it was indeed reasonable for him to lead troops to suppress the Japanese.
But he still didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Just to protect the company, you shouldn¡¯t need such a strong strength, right?¡±
"Because we still have overseas responsibilities." Ma Yinglong's eyes flashed with blazing light and he said: "As a man, when you are a husband, you should carry a three-foot green sword, mount a horse and whip, open up thousands of miles of territory, and let the glory of our Ming Dynasty shine on the world! Outside the country, that is the stage where we can show off our talents!¡±
"Hiss" Wang Rulong was stunned and felt that the blood in his body that had been dormant for a long time became extremely restless.
He grabbed Ma Yinglong¡¯s shoulders.?, said excitedly: "Tell me quickly, tell me!"
"I don't know the specifics yet. I heard that the young master will open an 'Ocean College' on Chongming Island. By then, all the cadres of our security team will go to school. At that time, I must have fully understood the young master's ambitions. "
Ma Yinglong also patted Wang Rulong hard and said: "In short, brother, we still have a lot of potential, and we may even achieve greater feats than before!"
"Okay, let's wait until the day when the class starts." As long as Zhao Hao doesn't have any thoughts of rebellion, Wang Rulong has nothing to worry about and can just concentrate on doing it.
After all, no one can give more than Young Master.

On Sansha Island.
Twenty large sand boats lined up tightly at the sand boat gang dock.
There are forty or fifty fully armed gang members standing on each boat. This is the team that will set out with Gang Leader Guo to suppress the bandits.
Guo Donglin was dressed in a powerful suit, with a sword hanging from his waist, a purple cloth, a fire-lacquered hat and a helmet on his head, and a tiger-striped cloak, walking majestically on the trestle.
Elder Niu and Mrs. Shen, along with the remaining hall masters, accompanied him to see him off.
"Gang leader, let Lao Niu go with you." Elder Niu still patted his big sword and begged hard.
"Elder, just stay at home and stay at ease." Guo Donglin naturally wouldn't let him go with him. If the Japanese pirates drag their feet and haven't left yet, they won't be able to let go even if they want to.
"If you, old man, are still required to go into battle, people will laugh at our Shachuan Gang for having no one."
"Everyone just wait patiently, our gang leader will definitely win!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands to everyone seeing him off. When his eyes passed over Chen Huaixiu, he lingered on her beautiful face for a moment intentionally or unintentionally.
¡°I don¡¯t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the little widow looked much better today.
Could it be that you really figured it out?
Guo Donglin felt hot and said to her with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, please wait too, my brother has gone to avenge you."
Chen Huaixiu smiled and nodded. "Master, don't worry and go on your way. We will take care of things at home."
"Okay, let's go!" Guo Donglin had never been treated so tenderly by Chen Huaixiu, and he felt his heart heat up and he suddenly felt heroic. He lifted up his tiger-striped cloak, turned around and strode onto his boat.
With the sound of rumbling drums, the gang members and their families watched the expedition fleet slowly leave the port.
When the fleet completely disappeared from sight, Chen Huaixiu and Elder Niu walked back to the town.
As Elder Niu walked away, he whispered to Chen Huaixiu: "Old Ma is back. We really blocked people there."
"Then let's act as planned." Chen Huaixiu nodded slightly and looked at the sea sand town in front of him.
The time has come to take it back from the enemy.
