Chapter 140 How To
Governor's office.

"Chen Qianhu came early this time, the master is meeting all the generals inside, so I have to let you wait for a while."

There was no need for the governor's housekeeper to tell, Chen Mu knew that he had to wait when he entered the yamen.

This time coming here is not as casual as before, the courtyard of the yamen is very lively, there are fifth-rank civil servants in green robes and black horn belts sitting in the rockery stone pavilion, and there are generals from various places, hundreds of households standing in the courtyard, and small officials from the government office running around. Yamen servants are everywhere.

Even Yu Dayou's recruiting subordinates were outside, and Chen Mu cupped his fists from a distance as a greeting as soon as he entered.

Needless to say, during this period of time, all the official figures in Guangdong must have been summoned, and the fifth-rank civil servants were all sitting and waiting in the courtyard, let alone him, a fifth-rank thousand household, who was honestly looking for someone in the yard. Let's rest!
"It's too early for Mr. Chen, so it's okay to wait here?" Chen Mu said, taking the butler's hand, and conveniently put two gold and silver coins seized from Haojing into the other's hand through the concierge's wide sleeve. He chuckled softly and said, "Haojing Native Products."

As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden box carried by the soldiers behind him and said with a smile: "This is also a Western object in Zhanli. The governor should be useful."

The concierge didn't know what he got, but he didn't think it lightly. After accepting it casually, he said to Chen Mu with a smile: "What are you talking about, Master Chen? You don't need to wait outside, go in and drink tea, and when a few generals come out, you should go to Xiangshan." gone."

Talking about the concierge, he looked around, and then he whispered to Chen Mu: "They are all recruited by the master to come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so what if they come so early and don't wait?"

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

Coming now!
This made Chen Junye, who was relatively lazy about the governor's summons, very embarrassed. He smiled and went into the front hall with the porter, and sat outside the study to wait.

It didn't take long, before the tea was cold, there was the sound of footsteps colliding with armor from behind the screen, and then several generals with different armors came out, among them was Wang Rulong who walked at the end.

I haven't seen Wang Rulong for two or three months, but Wang Rulong still has the proud look on his brows, but being free before the battle can't make his face that has been unkempt for a long time look refreshed and more vicissitudes.

Seeing several generals come out, Chen Mu, who is a lowly official, stood up and saluted quickly. Some people clasped their fists back and others ignored them. Chen Mu didn't care about these, and said to Wang Rulong specifically: "General Wang!"

Wang Rulong was the one who ignored Chen Mu. The relationship in the officialdom seemed to have nothing to do with him. Whenever the governor released him, he would lead the army to train, and when he was locked back, he would write and practice martial arts. It doesn't make sense.

Only when he heard Chen Mu call him, did he turn his head and look at Chen Mu, then took two steps forward, finally turned around and said calmly: "It's you."

Co-author Wang Canjiang didn't recognize Chen Mu at all just now.

"You played well in Haojing, they are all Japanese pirates, and Japanese pirates invaded my sea and territory, and they deserve to die."

Chen Mu was about to ask about Wang Rulong's recent situation, or which defense zone his soldiers and horses were assigned to guard, when he heard Wang Rulong say something like this, apparently someone in the governor's mansion had mentioned the Haojing battle before, and then Wang Rulong opened his mouth He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the voice behind Chen Mu, and he simply closed his mouth and cupped his fists.

"Xiangshan Chen Qianhu, the governor is calling!"

The moment Chen Mu turned his head to look at Congren in the Governor's Mansion, Wang Rulong had already left when he turned around.

Chen Mu touched his nose, shook his head and followed the people around the exquisitely painted screen into the study.

In the study room, the old governor Zhang Han was rubbing his eyes, his face showing a little tiredness, he got up and walked towards the bronze mirror when he saw Chen Mu coming in, patted his face with the copper basin at the door, and pointed casually: "You seat yourself, and you are Xiangshan So it can make this old man less leisure!"

Chen Mu didn't know the reason why the old governor was so tired until Zhang Han took his seat again, because the governor of Guangdong, Xiong Wei, was ill at this juncture.

In his early years, he fought against Japanese pirates as a Jinshi for more than [-] battles. In the Chengping era, Xiong Bian, who has made great achievements in military affairs, also suffered from injuries in his old age. When he took office as governor, his legs and feet were not good. Simply unable to get up and spread out on the bed to recuperate, unable to manage affairs.

If it were another governor who took over the military and political power, it would be too late to be happy, but Zhang Han was different. There were too many civil affairs and military affairs that he didn't know how to do.

With a governor like Xiong Jian who has experience in co-presence, political participation, military preparation, inspection, and administration, at least he can make the other party make up their minds about major and minor matters, as long as he grasps the general direction.Now that Xiong Bing fell ill, the affairs of the Guangdong and Guangxi capitals were piled up on the desk one by one, and he couldn't figure it out.

"You saw it in the battle of Haojing, the old man killed four hundred enemies, captured and killed not many people, and the casualties of the banner army were only a few dozen. Did you falsely report your military achievements?"

Chen Mu hastily testified to himself: "Governor is clearly aware, you have a lot of concern for Xiangshan, and your warships and supplies are never withheld. I hate to repay the kindness of the governor with a lowly position. How dare you lie about your military achievements to deceive your lord! What's more, Fanyi's head is not the same as ours. , this military exploit cannot be falsely reported!"

Chen Muxin said that the imperial court did not set a reward for the leader of the Fanyi, and there was no reward and no reward, so where to go to falsely report the military exploits!

The contact time is not short, and Chen Mu has basically figured out Zhang Han's preferences. This is not Wu Guifang's hard-boned and unsmiling superior, and he can listen to nice compliments. He is probably a traditional literati in Chen Mu's eyes, with a bit of backbone, A bit bloody, a bit of knowledge, and a bit of expertise - but the cultivation base of science is not in place.

It is endless.

The laws of heaven are not impoverished, nor are human desires extinguished.

They are ordinary people with above-average talents and personalities.

"The old man seems to be the same, but the day before yesterday, he called all the guards and asked them how many troops they would need to stop the five hundred ghosts. They all said that the entire guard would be able to resist."

Zhang Han was very puzzled, and looked at Chen Mu: "How did you fight?"

Someone poured dirty water on themselves!
The guards were summoned the day before yesterday, and they must have issued a defense order. Why did no one summon themselves?

Seeing the doubt in Chen Mu's eyes, the governor with a background in speech saw the problem at a glance, and asked in surprise, "Did you not know that the guards were summoned the day before yesterday?"

Chen Mu nodded bitterly. He summoned the guards the day before yesterday. According to Zhang Han’s pre-arrangement, the news may have spread to various places five or six days ago. At that time, he had just boarded Haojing, and no one told him. this matter.

"The people on Haidao said that you just came to Haojing to discuss matters with Fanyi, and you don't have time to come." Zhang Han smiled bluntly, the smile lines on his face were wrinkled, and the bags under his eyes were even thicker. , Wang Tingjie is a capable minister and virtuous official, but he can't control the Haidao matter... This old man wants to send him to Zhejiang, and then replace those officials who guard Australia."

"Now tell me, how to use one army to defeat the Fanyi that can only be resisted by an army of guards?"

　It's time to add updates tomorrow, and it will be updated at [-]:[-] noon!
