Chapter 259 A little peace
One step to the sky.

Although the rank did not rise much, Chen Mu obviously cared about power, the power in his hands.

The Wanquan Dusi gave him the power to lead all the guards, and the general soldier of the Xuanfu gave him the power to control all the military affairs of the Xuanfu-this meant that his power expanded dozens of times with the emperor's words.

In fact, Chen Mu was not satisfied with Emperor Longqing naming his cannon as Zhenshuo General Chen Gong Shenpao.

Very dissatisfied!
It's fine to call it any general, but it's not good to have his name on it.

Because Chen Mu felt that after the ten catty cannon was named by the emperor, such a situation would appear in Ji Town in the near future. if.

'Pull my dad out! '

General Chen thought this was very bad, so the first thing he did after he was rewarded by the court was to write to Qi Jiguang. Learn from the car battalion, learn from the Franc machine, the ten-pound cannon is not for children, let him stay away.

In fact, I still wrote letters later, to the first assistant, several second assistants, to Wang Chonggu, governor of Shaanxi Xuanda, to Tan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Wu Guifang, Liu Tao, the minister, in order to ask them for instructions.

Not only to express goodwill, but he also really needs to understand the Xuanfu, which is different from just the defense line. For example, one of his responsibilities is to lure the border residents back to the south. How to do this responsibility, he is not very clear.

Of course, a letter to Zhang Han, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry is also indispensable. The old man has been kind to him. Although he has written to Zhang Han since he heard that Zhang Han was transferred to Nanjing, he obviously needs to write another letter at this time. Seal - to borrow someone.

Although the foreman of the Ministry of Industry is corrupt and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are slack, it is undeniable anyway that the best craftsmen in the world are dispatched by the Ministry of Industry.

In the past, he was incompetent and kept the Ministry of Industry at arm's length, but now the situation is different. With the power of a town commander, he is already qualified to make some demands and get some help from the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor asked him to make cannons, but it was impossible for Chen Mu to go to Xuanfu to only do four things: training soldiers, preparing for bandits, making cannons, and bringing back border residents.

Just a joke, is it possible that General Chen's guard only does these things?
In fact, Chen Mu wanted to take this opportunity to ask the court for leave to go back to Guangdong and come back next year for two reasons.

It was indeed time for him to get married, no one would delay the matter for so long, but he had no choice but to write a letter to Bozhou explaining the situation.

At the time when he was negotiating peace with Tu Mote, even the Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't leave because of illness, let alone the general who was ordered to guard the Xuanfu, even if he wanted to go back and give birth to a son, it was impossible!

Apart from getting married, Chen Mu also wanted to go back to Nanyangwei to see the situation.

Because with his appointment as Commander of Wanquan, the former Nanyang Guard Commander's position was formally dismissed. The most ideal situation is that Bai Yuanjie can take over as Commander, which is the best situation that will not affect the development of Nanyang Guard.

But this matter is not something that Chen Mianmian can absolutely control. At best, he can only hope to get some help from his acquaintance Tan Lun before returning to his hometown to recuperate. Tan Lun may not buy it.

If he has always been the commander of the Nanyang Guard, then there is no problem, even if he is finished as long as there is a royal family, it will be fine for his son to continue.But when he holds the command of the Northern Perfect Line of Defense and wants to hold on to the southern border guards, it will be tiresome to stretch his hands too long.

Ministry of War.

"Bai Jingchen understands the situation. He knows how the guards should train. The Ministry Hall, Nanyang Weigang is building a big ship for the imperial court. A big ship that can hold more than a dozen cannons. It's not a small thing like Frangji, or it is named by His Majesty Yongdingmen. General Zhenshuo's heavy cannon is a ship cannon."

Chen Mu dug out the composition of Zhang Yongshou's big shark ship sent by Zhang Yongshou this time in his bag, handed it to Tan Lun, and said, "Thirty, thirty 570 gunboats have been launched, and they are handed over to the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy. Chen Chaojue is patrolling the outer seas, his fleet consists of six 260 material shark ships and twelve [-] material shark ships, if they encounter Japanese pirates again, their small boats can be smashed to pieces with a single salvo!"

"If the Nanyang Guard changes its commander now, and all this stops, then all these things will disappear. The ship will be broken and people will die. Ten or twenty years later, the guard is still tired..."

Tan Lun had been listening quietly, and waited for Chen Mu to finish speaking before saying: "General Chen, there are no more Japanese pirates, and we have already killed them."

Tan Lun is also a southern general. Although he is a civil servant, he is actually the general of the Ming Dynasty who killed the most Japanese pirates with his own hands, as the magistrate.He didn't know how many Japanese pirates he killed without relying on mandarin duck formations, bird guns and artillery, singing a big show and holding a waist knife.

He is too clear, just look at the ship map to understand that this thing was not born for Japanese pirates. Compared with Japanese pirates, such a warship is like using cannons to shoot ants.

"This kind of boat is for your maritime administration in the Wuju Township Examination in Guangdong. You want to go to war in the south and take Malacca." Tan Lun said what he said, and even Wu Guifang, who was drinking tea, said His eyes widened in disbelief, only the attendant Liu Tao didn't understand what Tan Lun was talking about, so he heard Tan Lun continue: "You are in Nanyangwei for this matter."

Chen Mu didn't speak. He didn't expect Tan Lun to have read his martial arts test paper, but the person in the military hall who was most shocked by this was definitely not Chen Mu, but Wu Guifang.

The past is vivid in my memory, and Wu Guifang has always been gratified. He promoted Ren Qianhu, a small general banner who had just emerged in the war, in Guangdong and Guangxi, which was extremely exceptional.Now that a few years have passed, the small general banner has been honored by General Zhenshuo with his military exploits and talent, and he should be gratified to lead the line of defense.

But his dizzy old eyes couldn't imagine that the little general flag wanted to do much more than this.

He thought that the subjugation of Fanyi on Haojingao was over, and it would be good if it continued, but he didn't expect that Chen Mu wanted to fight south, to Malacca.

The most important point is that Chen Mu's silence at this time shows that Tan Lun is right - he just wants to start a war, and he wants to fight Malacca.

"The threat of Ming Dynasty is from the north. As you can see, if the captives go south, they will destroy Datong in Shanxi at least, and they will come to the capital." Come and spare no effort to fight south, there will be a hundred harms but no benefit!"

"There are many people in Ming Dynasty, but do you know why your Majesty still let you lead the people to return to the south when you were stationed in the Xuan Mansion? Heaven has the virtue of good life, and the soldiers are unknown. Your Majesty does not want the people to die unexpectedly."

"You know what the people are like. Maybe you think that the people will always die, but there is a big difference between death; they can starve to death on the land of Ming Dynasty, or die of disease on the land of Ming Dynasty. Officials who don’t do anything can be dismissed or rectified, and they can work hard to rule! When they are slaughtered like wild dogs outside the Great Wall, overseas, and in places beyond the reach of our Ming Dynasty, what will you do! "

Tan Lun shook his head, looked at Chen Mu: "You can't help it."

"I think the problem of Ming Dynasty is not the southern Japanese and the northern captives, nor the Wentian and Wuxi, nor the corruption, nor the richness, or the poverty of the treasury, but the stability." Chen Mu also shook his head, "It has been like this since the founding of the country. What high-ranking officials want is not progress but stability, and now it can be stable, with famous ministers and military talents everywhere, Ming Dynasty is of course stable."

"After 30 years and 50 years, Tan Butang, Wu Shilang...Please bid farewell to junior Rong Muen."

Unable to convince anyone, Chen Mu didn't want to continue talking on this issue, talking too much as if he was an angry young man.

"General Chen!"

Chen Mu had already got up and walked a few steps, but was stopped by Tan Lun, who also got up, and he said to Chen Mu: "I want to ask for leave to return to my hometown, I will tell the five armies' governor's mansion, and Bai Jingchen will still be in command of the Nanyang Guard. Do it well, the matter of maritime administration, the decision is not up to you and me, so don't be impatient."

Chen Mu turned around to salute, and walked out of the military department slowly.

　Sorry sorry, Chapter 2 is late, it's too late.
