Chapter 247 Flying Fish
What kind of shit is this?
No wonder Xu Jue agreed to his request so readily.

I and Chen Ju got mixed up in the battle of the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies!

During this period of the Ming Dynasty, what Zhuge Liang said was "all in one in the palace and in the mansion". After Li Fang, the great eunuch, Feng Bao was most likely to be the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, but when Gao Gong entered the cabinet, he He recommended Chen Hong for the position; when Chen Hong is dismissed now, Feng Bao is the most qualified. As a result, Gao Gong recommended Meng Chong, who was a cook.

In fact, it doesn't necessarily mean that Gao Gong and Feng Bao are at odds, nor does it mean that he likes Chen Hong and Meng Chong so much, but Gao Gong is too arrogant. Important, the only one is to be obedient.

The department with the greatest authority in the Supervisor of Rituals is naturally the Imperial Horse Supervisor under the control of Feng Bao, and this happens several times, and Feng Bao is also at odds with Gao Gong.

This time, Chen Ju's cannon salute in the Beijing camp was intended to show the new cannons to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and he planned to order a batch of artillery from Nanyang Wei in the future, but Gao Gong and Meng Chong's watching the ceremony aroused Feng Bao's jealousy, and wanted to get rid of it. A big event came out.

Chen Mu thought for a while, this matter did not do him any harm, and he would not offend anyone.

The military parade was led by Feng Bao, and it was not his business. He just led the soldiers to perform.What's more, since Feng Bao persuaded the emperor to hold a military parade, he didn't mean to point his sword high, he just wanted to please the emperor. He would call all the courtiers and high-ranking officials. soldier.

who cares?
Compared with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, who cares whether to offend Beijing Ying?
The strength of his Nanyang Guard Banner Army is not the best in the world, but it also depends on who is leading the troops. The soldiers led by General Chen are definitely the best in the world in a square formation!

"I wonder how Governor Feng arranged this military parade?"

Feng Bao is the admiral of the East Factory, and Chen Mu's voice was not too much, but he stopped Xu Jue. This eunuch Feng Bao is quite talented, and he is skilled in calligraphy, painting and piano. It is enough to serve as an internal minister, not to mention how knowledgeable about military affairs, but it is not considered a weakness.

But how to conduct a military parade is beyond the duty of an internal official. The matter was left to Xu Jue, the commander of Jin Yiwei, and Xu Jue didn't think about it. The big reading is normal, let the sergeants of the three major battalions practice, and His Majesty is on the stage, but how else can you read it?"

"Hi!"

Chen Mu patted the desk, raised his legs and leaned back, and asked: "Your Majesty is still on stage, brother, isn't the grade lower?"

He didn't care whether Xu Jue could understand the meaning of the word grade, and then said: "Let your majesty parade the army, do you have to see the same things as those cabinet ministers and the prime ministers of the Beijing camp? Your majesty doesn't need to watch them practice, but Look, just look at the results of their practice!"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to go to the stage, it's at Yongdingmen. The police come in and the main street outside the city is closed. The army is practicing in the south. The military parade goes from the left Dingmen to the right Dingmen. Your Majesty parades the military academy at Yongdingmen. Those with blunderbusses will fire blunderbusses to the south of Yongding's gate, and those with cannons will fire to the south of Yongding's gate, and each military academy will pick out five centurions, and His Majesty will be able to read through the army in at least an hour."

Chen Mu spread his hands and said: "Not only the Beijing camp, but also the troops of Tianjin Wei, Jizhen, Liaodong, and Datong. Even the Jinyiwei can let them send five centurions over to let His Majesty have a look. Only then can there be a grand parade of troops from all directions. weather."

"There are good and bad soldiers from all over the country, and the five best centurions are all selected to review. Brother, think about it, what kind of weather is that?"

Xu Jue was stunned by Chen Mu's words, and slowly swallowed his saliva. Although he didn't know why Chen Mu chose Yongdingmen, his idea of ​​recruiting [-] frontier troops from all over the country to Beijing for a military parade really didn't matter. Thinking of him handling this matter well, not to mention Feng Bao's face, his status in the capital will also rise in the future, so he immediately stood up and said to Chen Mu: "My dear brother, you must help brother with this matter!"

Isn't that what Master Chen was waiting for!
Why did he say he wanted five centuries?Because there are only 500 people in his hands!

Moreover, these 500 people were all trained by him in Nanyangwei. The formation of these things is not too trivial, plus a full set of new carrying equipment, bird guns and artillery, not to mention Dongsanbian and Jinyiwei alone, it will damage the soldiers of the world. All the horses are recruited, and no one can surpass his soldiers in spirit!
"It's very easy to come up with new tricks. Pick hundreds of eunuchs who only entered the palace as adults and have a loud voice to announce the curtain. Well, let's put it this way, let them memorize the words in advance. For example, when Qi Shuai's army comes, let them Read aloud to His Majesty: This is the Zhe Bing in Jizhen, the general is Qi Shuai, the Japanese attacked the Japanese in Nanping and the Tatars in the North, and he has made outstanding achievements in defying death; this is Liaodong Iron Cavalry, a subordinate of Li Zongbing..."

Chen Mu clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty definitely doesn't know who's soldier is who, but who would not know after such a report? At that time, the generals from all over the country will find out that this matter is organized by Feng Du, the governor's sage Can you not lose your reputation? If you inquire again that it is your elder brother Xu who manages it from top to bottom, how can you not lose favor?"

Chen Mu enjoyed Xu Dafat's admiring expression very much, and flipped his hands again and said: "Military parade is definitely not for pleasing His Majesty, laboring the people and wasting money, but also for deterring the barbarians. Foreign envoys from all over the country pay tribute to stay in the capital, for example Han Naji, who had just surrendered, and the sons of Sifang chieftains in the Imperial College invited them to the city to watch the ceremony, and they could even invite envoys from Tumot and Wala to watch the ceremony, so as to achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. One benefit."

"With regard to this military parade, if it can be made custom in the future, the soldiers and horses from all directions will practice diligently in order to perform in front of His Majesty, so that the military style can be corrected. Just like the guards in the world, I am afraid that even five hundred can see it now." There is no army, but if the military parade in Beijing is considered a custom, they will have to train [-] soldiers that can be seen in the future, isn't this the second advantage?"

"Wait, brother, you talk too much." Xu Jue heard that his head was big, but looking at Chen Mu, he couldn't figure out how his head was filled with so many easy-to-find things. The military parade turned back the face, this time... is not easy, brother, can you write a copy for Brother Wei?"

"Don't worry, I will never let you work hard for nothing. Godfather will definitely speak well for you, and you, Yanqing, will leave it to me!" Xu Jue slapped his chest loudly, "Your business is my business , If they dare to occupy your mine, they will occupy mine, and my brother will take care of everything for you!"

Xu Jue frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I almost forgot, my brother has something good to tell you when he comes here. You won a big game in Jumahe, guess what merits you can get?"

Chen Mu shook his head. He didn't know what merits he would get, but Xu Jue spit out a few words mysteriously.

"Leaving aside the official position, His Majesty will give you a second-grade flying fish suit!"
