open sea

Chapter 1525
The most powerful soldier of the Ming Empire landed in Changsheng on July [-]th.

Amidst the sound of drums and music, 120 generals of the Han Dynasty brought a full 480 mixed-race horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Xiyi with the boat, escorted many civil and military officials, and followed King Lu to the feudal domain.

They wear red tasseled phoenix wings on their heads, gold armor with fish scales on their heads, long knives in their hands and gourds in their bodies, bows carved in the left and quiver in the right, and white-haired solid-colored war horses.

Chen Mu, Zhao Shizhen, Yang Tingxiang and Jun Song led the Eastern Banner Army Guards to stand on the side. They received the news from Jincheng that King Lu's fleet had arrived in Asia, and they counted the days to come to Changsheng Port to pick them up.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no one coming at the end of the port, causing Chen Mu and his subordinates to look at each other in dismay: "Didn't you say that many people will come?"

Chen Mu had already read the letter sent by the imperial court earlier. Wanli said in the letter that this time King Lu Jiufan and Ye Mengxiong took over as ministers. The two Oriental ministers held the first world conference with King Lu. There are also many entourages.

At the same time, it was also an opportunity for the central imperial court to send officials to the Sanyang Military Mansion. This time, the imperial court wanted to set up all the Eastern Branches of the Six Ministries, the Five Temples, the Third Division, and the Second Academy.

Up and down, there are more than a hundred officials alone, plus their family members and servants, there may be nearly a thousand people.

Wanli said in a letter to Chen Mu that the cabinet had actually wanted to do this for a long time, and only when all departments were established could the imperial court truly have binding force on overseas military government.

But he didn't want Chen Mu to bear the wind and rain of starting a business in the front, and there were still a group of people stuck behind him.

Therefore, during the entire tenure of the Minister of the East, the imperial court did not send too many people to the Eastern and Western Military Governments, and institutions such as the Nanyang Military Governments had been established long ago.

But now that Chen Mu's term of office has come to an end and he is about to return to Beijing, Ye Mengxiong will take over the future Dongyang military government. His Beiyang has always been under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Now that he is in Dongyang, he will not feel uncomfortable with these institutions.

Wanli also said in the letter that he hoped that Chen Mu would not have any doubts. These people were not here to restrain him, nor to check the accounts, but to ensure that this land would still belong to Daming decades later.

If anyone dares to ask Chen Mu, the salary has been drawn by the Chen family of the capital all these years. How did Chen Mu live on the northwest wind without salary?

Chen Mu is not afraid of auditing the accounts. Hai Rui has always been in charge of the accounts of the Eastern Military Mansion. He has his own measures for what he eats and uses, and there is no problem.

According to the accounts, not only did Chen Mu not spend the money from the court, but he had also been stuffing money into the account of the military government.

But having said that, the arrival of this fleet also means that the era of barbaric growth in East Asia has passed.

"Send someone to take a look, I'm afraid something happened."

Chen Mu gave orders to Juniper, turned his head to look at the big Han general standing by the side of the road, raised his eyebrows and walked forward.

The Great Han Generals are naturally mighty, they are the guard of honor of this era, but Chen Mu's eyes lit up when he saw their armor alone, he leaned forward and coughed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, have you changed the armor for the Great Han General?"

It's not that he hasn't seen the big Han generals before, whether he was in the court or when Chen Ju went to sea with Jin Yiwei, he has seen these guards of honor, but to be honest, the big Han generals back then were not as good-looking as they are today.

In the past, it was hard to tell when there were fewer people, but when there were more people, those behind the line showed their original shape, and the armor was all old.

It's different now, everyone's armor is brand new, even minor scratches can't be seen, and it has a fascinating luster under proper maintenance.

"Back to Commander, yes, His Majesty appropriated money from the internal treasury last year to change the equipment for the Jinyiwei, all made in Beiyang."

Chen Mu couldn't help nodding, feeling extremely satisfied.

Why does the imperial court have money, and why is Wanli's inner treasury full?
There is a part of his strength in it!
Is there anything else in this world that is more exciting than seeing how one's own efforts can change the world inadvertently?
After a while, the guards sent by Juniper came from behind the big Han generals, but before he reported the situation to Juniper and Chen Mu, they could already see a large area of ​​red animals walking on the official road.

It was Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit.

Of course, there is also Ye Mengxiong in the middle.

Chen Mu hasn't seen Ye Mengxiong for several years, but Ye Mengxiong's appearance has hardly changed, at most, his beard and hair have a little more silver light, but he looks more powerful.

"Chen Shuai guards the border for the country, don't come here unharmed!"

Ye Mengxiong misunderstood Chen Mu by saying that he was defending the border for the country. He folded his hands and was stunned for a while. On the one hand, he felt that what kind of border guard was he?
On the other hand, thinking about it in my head, it seems that this is indeed the border of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he is guarding the border.

Seeing that he was stunned for a moment, Chen Mu didn't know how to respond, so he just cupped his hands and smiled back, shook his head slightly, and immediately asked, "Grand Ye, where is King Lu?"

"Don't mention it." Ye Mengxiong waved his hand back angrily and said: "The king of Yaguo finally got out of the palace, drifted on the boat for several months, and was exhausted. Seeing the shore, he insisted on making something new. He wanted to wear a military uniform and land on an iron cavalry , This is good, the car chain fell off."

"It's being repaired later."

"Car chain?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "The bicycle has been put into use?"

"It's used. Thanks to Ma Shuai, who was trained in Beiyang, he fully supported the development of the iron cavalry. The intention is that the less advanced generals can make their soldiers drive four hundred miles in ten days to sweep the north."

"Who would have thought that on the day the first iron cavalry in Beiyang formed an army, Qi Shuai would have sent a good news from the northwest, and the heavenly army had arrived in Kazakhstan."

"It seems that these two wheels are really no match for the legs of the Long Live Army, haha!"

Ye Mengxiong stroked his beard and smiled, not to mention the joy in Chen Mu's heart, he smiled and shook his head: "It's not easy, Changsheng County has prepared a banquet, so you can tell me more about it. How did the soldiers of the road conquer the world?"

While the two oriental generals were talking, Chen Mu caught a glimpse of a figure approaching behind Ye Mengxiong from the corner of his eyes. When he looked closely, he felt a huge sense of disobedience.

I saw the bicycle team lined up rushing forward, I don't know how many rows there were in the four-way column, everyone was hanging on the beam of the car, and everyone was wearing a red cotton armor on their head, and they were pedaling the bicycle hummingly. , What a team of frontier cavalry.

The leader is a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a purple gold crown, a scarlet python robe with a jade belt around his waist, and soap-faced cloud-toed boots. It was dyed two shades of black, and there was a big orange cat lying on its shoulder, squeaking all the way.

When it was approaching, the human brake pads with vulcanized rubber outsole kicked to the ground suddenly, and the rear of the car flicked to the side, drawing a beautiful arc, and stopped firmly in front of Chen Mu.

The young man in the car clasped his fists with both hands, and said, "My fan, Zhu Yixuan, pay my respects to Master Dongyang, Second Uncle Chen!"

As he spoke, he raised his right thumb and grinned, revealing two front teeth carved with pictures of ladies, and pointed to the big orange lying on his shoulder: "I am the eldest brother of Hai Long and Hai Hu, and this is my second brother. Their second brother, let the second uncle listen by meowing!"

　Good afternoon, happy Dragon Boat Festival, I have to go home today, and I will write Chapter 2 when I come back.
