Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 542 Mao Wenlong

At the same time when Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan led the army to take down Malacca, which was colonized by the Dutch.

The land and sea armies led by Huang Fei and Huang Degong also rushed to Ceylon.

There are not many troops stationed in the Netherlands in Ceylon, including the local native soldiers, there are less than 2000 people in total, and there is no strong bastion.

In the face of the strong ships and guns of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Netherlands stationed in Ceylon had no ability to resist.

The Daming Navy and the Army fought together, and hundreds of warships roared, violently destroying the coastal defense platforms.

Huang Deli led the Longteng army to land quickly, and captured Ceylon easily.

The island of Ceylon is roughly pear-shaped, and the south-central part is a plateau, among which Mount Pidurutalagala is 2524 meters above sea level, the highest point in the country.

The northern and coastal areas are plains, of which the northern coastal plain is wide, while the southern and western coastal plains are relatively narrow, both at an altitude of 150 meters.

There are many rivers on the island. There are 16 main rivers, most of which originate in the central mountainous area.

The longest river is the Mahaweli River, which is 335 kilometers long and flows into the Indian Ocean near the port of Trincomalee.

The lower plains in the east are dotted with lakes, of which Lake Batticaloa is the largest with an area of ​​120 square kilometers.
Ceylon is one of the main sources of minerals for the Dutch, and there are abundant minerals here.

The main mineral deposits are graphite, precious stones, ferro-titanium, zircon, mica, etc. In addition, it is rich in fishery, forestry and hydraulic resources.

After receiving the battle report of taking Malacca and Ceylon, Zhu Youjian was ready to leave for Malacca.

Before leaving, Zhu Youjian felt that Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, was still too young, so he decided to prepare a general for him.

In the future, the Ming army will continue to expand its territory, and the existing generals are not enough.

If Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo, Huang Degong and others were left behind, Zhu Youjian would really be reluctant.

These generals are still very useful, they have been working together for so long, it is best not to divide them into one or the other.

Sitting on the reclining chair, Zhu Youjian began to think about who to use to assist King Ding.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Ding, congratulations to the host for opening up the second and third overseas territories for Ming Dynasty, rewarding 300 million war points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the system's bonus bonus function is enabled again, and you can draw a lottery once."

"Fuck, it's developed again. Not only do you have war points, but you can also draw prizes, but..."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard the system's beautiful notification sound.

The battle points have reached 800 million, which is enough, but he doesn't know what rewards the system will release.

So Zhu Youjian asked:

"System, can you tell me in advance what the reward is?"

"Ding, the system's lottery is a random behavior. Before the lottery is drawn, the system itself cannot predict it. May the host choose whether to draw a lottery. This lottery will consume 300 million war points."

The words of the system almost made Zhu Youjian bleed, 300 million war points!

"Nimma, you're cheating again... Do you know what 300 million war points mean? It's equivalent to 3000 million taels of silver."

"Ding, the points are enough, and there is no need for the host to recharge with silver. May I ask if the host draws a lottery?"

Zhu Youjian thought about it too. Anyway, war points are rewarded by the system. Wouldn't it be better if the whole Gatling came out.

"System, draw prizes now!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the lottery."

"Ding, reward [-] mortars and [-] mortar shells."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you will be rewarded with [-] rifled rifles and [-] rounds of miniature ammunition."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, reward three armored warships."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, Mao Wenlong, the general of the late Ming Dynasty, and his [-] Pidao Army."

"Ding, the rewards drawn by the host have been put into the system warehouse, and the host can use them at any time, but the drawn historical figures need to be summoned."

Mortars and mortar shells, rifled guns and mini bombs, it doesn't matter to Zhu Youjian.

After all, it's not being trapped by the enemy and urgently needing firearms and ammunition to replenish.

Besides, the Daming Arms Manufacturing Bureau can produce it by itself.

However, Zhu Youjian was overjoyed to get the historical figure Mao Wenlong. Now Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, has a good assistant.

Mao Wenlong is controversial in history, especially the fact that he was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan is still very controversial.

But Zhu Youjian knew that Mao Wenlong was still very capable, and if Mao Wenlong didn't die, Dongyu wouldn't dare to let go and enter the pass.

No matter how controversial Mao Wenlong's previous life was, at least after being summoned, he was absolutely 100% loyal to Daming and the emperor.

Mao Wenlong, whose name is Zhennan, was named Mao Bolong.

He died on July 1629, 7 on the 24th day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Wanli.

Mao Wenlong was born in Zhongxiao Lane, Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, and his ancestral home is Taiping County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province.

Mao Wenlong made great achievements in fighting the Qing Dynasty (Later Jin Dynasty) in his early years. History can check the victory in Zhenjiang, the opening of the Dongjiang River, the recovery of Jinzhou and Lushun, the victory in Niumaozhai, and the recovery of Fuzhou and Yongning.

Support for the battlefield in western Liaoning, the great victory in the battle of Dingmao, etc.

Using anti-indirect tactics against Houjin made the leader of Houjin sleepless and sleepless, and brothers killed each other.

He was a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, and he was brave in battle. As a military attache, Mao Wenlong had been serving in the Liaodong area.

He saw an opportunity, took advantage of the lack of tight defense of the Jin army, successfully attacked the camp of the Jin army, and directly killed their leader.

Mao Wenlong, who made military exploits, did not report to Xiong Tingbi, but to the governor.

In the imperial court at that time, Mao Wenlong was not very popular, and happened to be supported by the governor.

So Mao Wenlong was promoted and served as the chief soldier, and was also awarded a Shangfang sword.

From a historical point of view, a Mao Wenlong can greatly restrain the Jin army, so that the Jin army dare not act rashly.

But Yuan Chonghuan killed this fierce general who was of great use to the Ming Dynasty because of his own selfishness.

The result was self-destruction of the Great Wall, causing Pi Daomao's subordinates to lose control, making it completely impossible to contain Houjin's strategic intentions.

Moreover, Mao Wenlong's subordinate Shang Kexi and others defected to Houjin, which strengthened Houjin's strength.

Without Mao Wenlong's restraint, Huang Taiji began to lead his army to bypass Yuan Chonghuan's defense line without any scruples, and directly attacked the capital city from Mongolia, directly threatening the imperial capital.

Mao Wenlong can be said to be a master of both sea and land. Not only is he brave on land, but he is also a fierce general in the sea.

Of course Zhu Youjian was very happy to get Mao Wenlong, and decided to summon Mao Wenlong immediately:
"System, summon Mao Wenlong immediately."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, Da Ming has successfully summoned Mao Wenlong and his three thousand soldiers."

Soon, Jin Yiwei came to report:

"Your Majesty, there is a general asking to see you."

Zhu Youjian was already very experienced in summoning historical figures, so he immediately guessed that it was Mao Wenlong who was coming.

"call"

"According to the purpose"

Not long after the little eunuch left, a tall general in armor entered the room:

"Mao Wenlong pays his respects to the lord."

Zhu Youjian smiled and waved his hands:
"Ai Qing, free from courtesy"

Mao Wenlong immediately thanked:
"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Zhu Youjian looked up and down the controversial Ming general and asked:
"Where are your troops?"

Mao Wenlong bowed again respectfully:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, they are all in the military camp outside the city."

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Okay, take me to see them."

"According to the purpose"
