Chapter 246
Even though Chen Mu defeated Ji Neng's attack, the war continued. Ida, who was imprisoned by his grandson and asked to surrender, was still outside Datong with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and Qiqing Haxinai Huang Taiji, who was not working hard, was still traveling outside the Great Wall. drag.

However, Xin Ai Huang Taiji is not a problem for the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, Xin Ai Huang Taiji is because he disagrees with Han Naji's affairs with his father, but in fact it is because of the very different views on the Ming Dynasty and he does not want to be here. Contributing to the war, so not mobilizing troops on the border with the Ming Dynasty, it was just posturing.

An Da and Ma Fang confronted each other in Datong, saying that Han Naji had entered the hinterland of Datong to be entertained by the governor Fang Fengshi. Letters continued between the imperial court and Datong.

The courtiers were discussing matters with the courtiers, and Chen Mu was busy confiscating minerals in Yanqing.

There are many mountains in Yanqing, and there are many mines. The surrounding Beijing and Datong are rich in coal, but most of these mines are privately occupied by guards and local dignitaries, and even enlist military households to dig mines for them. The military affairs of Yanqing Sanwei can be described as rotten.

The military affairs of the Changzhen Guards Office, which is adjacent to the capital, are much worse than those in Qingyuan and Xiangshan in the south. The only advantage is that a big victory allowed the two commanders and many guards to see Chen Mu's ability and power. More than a thousand recruits from the Banner Army fought hard against the Shuanma Bridge where the captive cavalry were mainly attacking, and were admired by the guards. In addition, more than 200 people were disposed of after the war, and the prestige was established.

At this time, it will be much easier to order the reorganization of the army than before.

But what Chen Mu didn't expect was that Chen Ju had done a major event in the past few days-he intercepted one ten-pound, two five-pound, and five two-pound cannons from the Ministry of War's water transportation to Nanyangwei artillery, and compiled them into The Shenji Battalion is testing the cannon outside the city, and the second assistant, Gao Gong, is invited to go to the city to watch the ceremony.

Gao Gong didn't call anyone else, but called the eunuch Meng Chong, the eunuch who was born as a cook, to watch the artillery salute of the Shenji camp.

At this time, Li Chunfang, the chief assistant of the imperial court, was generous, fair-minded in politics, and did not worry about anything. Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

In the secondary secondary school, Gao Gong showed his sharpness, and he was the leader in everything.

Then, Feng Bao, the chief eunuch of the Yumajian, asked Jin Yiwei to command Fatty Xu to come to Changzhen.

"Brother Xu is here." Chen Mu didn't know why, so he sent someone to serve tea to meet Xu Jue, and said with a smile: "Brother just came, and I have something to ask you for help here, I don't think my brother has come, is this You and my brother have a good understanding?"

He did have something to ask Xu Jue for help, which was difficult for him, but if Xu Jue did it, it would be easy.

Xu Jue, who was chubby like a Maitreya Buddha, heard Chen Mu's words, his heart was hanging in his stomach, and even his sitting posture was much more relaxed.

The first impression Chen Mu left on him was really not good. It can't be said that he was very cunning or extremely honest. In short, for Xu Jue, if he didn't take Chen Mu's pigtails or give him a big favor, I'm afraid He couldn't handle the work that Feng Bao entrusted to him.

When he came, Xu Jue was prepared to be brutally slaughtered by Chen Mu in order to finish the confession. Unexpectedly, when he came here, Chen Mu needed his help, so he leaned on the chair and took a sip of the tea bowl, and said boldly: "Brother, you don't need to worry too much. If you have anything to do, leave it to your elder brother!"

Wrap it on your brother?

It really means that I am gasping for fat.

Chen Muxi smiled and said happily, "To be honest, in this capital city, I know that my brother is reliable because I have two lives in life! Yanqing Sanwei needs to organize 45 horse teams and hundreds of households, and there is still a shortage of [-] horses. Brother... give me Brother solved it?"

Xu Jue choked on the tea and almost turned his chair over.

"Well, it seems that it is difficult for the strong." Chen Mu showed a disappointed look. Although he didn't feel that he needed to be disappointed at this time, but in order to meet the situation, he decided to let out a long sigh of disappointment, and then said happily: "The three guards of Yanqing are still short in size. There are 180 cannons, this brother can solve it!"

The tea bowl was put back on the case by Xu Jue, got up and wiped the water stains on the official uniform, and took a peek at Chen Mu, pretending he didn't hear it.

Chen Mu opened his eyelids, curled his lips and said: "The horses and guns are not good, so only the blunderbusses are left. The three guards of Yanqing lack [-] blunderbusses. Danwan doesn’t need to bother elder brother, younger brother himself…”

"Commander Chen, could it be that he is teasing Xu!"

Xu Jue squinted his eyes and glanced outside the hall, and then he got closer and said to Chen Mu angrily: "Who in the entire capital doesn't know that buying guns and cannons to find you is better than Chen Zongbing, who is better than Wang Gongchang's Armament Bureau. Ask Xu to make a cannon for you, do you think I look like a cannon!"

This level of shouting has absolutely no lethal effect on General Chen who put Juyongguan on his face. Chen Mu turned his body to look at Xu Jue seriously, shook his head slowly, then raised his hand and patted his leg twice as he thought of something. , nodded one after another: "Wankou Pao."

Xu Jue does look like a bowl mouth cannon, with a round head and a chubby body, and he is not too tall.However, after Chen Mu finished speaking, he realized that it was not funny to tell this joke on such an occasion, because the mouth of the bowl was big and the mouth was small, so he quickly waved his hands to put aside the topic.

"Forget it, I'm not joking with my elder brother. To be honest, my younger brother is collecting the mines of Sanwei. This matter is too difficult for me. The guards look at the township tyrants, and the township tycoons look at the powerful. The most difficult thing among the powerful is that they are with Jinyi guards have contact, Chen can't move."

Chen Mu rubbed his fingers and said: "Brother, help me get all the mines here, and Chen doesn't want to kill people randomly."

"It's about the same. You can't kill people right now. Don't mess around."

"It seems that you really want to do something in the capital." Xu Jue chuckled, and he knew that Chen Mu was teasing him, asking him to play horses and cannons. He had no place to do it, but he still wanted to It can be done, "Well, tell me about the Jinyi guards who have taken over your mine, I will go find them, and I will settle the matter for you within a month, but you have to do me a favor."

If Xu Jue didn't come, Chen Mu planned to hand over the manuscript directly to the court, and asked the cabinet ministers to think about the ideas of the guards collecting military land, adding military mines, and improving the status of the banner army.His hand is bound to be able to get the support of the ruler, but it is difficult to get the support of the lower class.

The cake is so big, if he wants to take it back, he will inevitably offend a large number of people. It is easy to talk about Shanchang Town, but now Chen Mu has figured out the taste, and before he knows it, he has actually stepped into Zhang Juzheng's reform. In the vortex, there is no way out - he doesn't know if Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's abolition of the old crimes included the reform of the guards, but it is obviously on the agenda now.

One day, his reform of the guards will implement a capital, and even the capital of the five armies.

"Gao Gong and Meng Chong watched the ceremony by themselves, but they didn't ask the godfather in charge of the horse guard." Xu Jue sat up straight and said to Chen Mu: "Godfather wants to persuade Your Majesty, and then visit the Beijing camp. General Chen, you are rejecting the horse." He Desheng's division will also be stationed in the Beijing camp, firing artillery to please Longyan."

　Good morning, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be three updates today, but I drank alcohol last night, and the third update may not be released until evening.
