Chapter 276 Preparation
When there are several roads in front of Chen Mu, he will always choose the most difficult one. Many people in the world are like this. It seems that the road ahead has infinite possibilities. In fact, everything is doomed early in the beginning. In fact, there is no choice. .

Since he had no choice for a long time, Chen Mu hoped that people around him would have some choices and choose what he wanted to do instead of what he should do.

The dragging of the carriage is no better than riding a fast horse alone, not to mention the accompanying female family members. General Zhenshuo and his party of more than ten people went to Xuanfu via Yuhe Post in Changping. At the end of the first month, the recovery training of the battalion and banner troops has begun.

Twenty miles outside the east gate of Xuan Mansion, Chen Mu was greeted by Hu Liangpeng. After introducing each other for the newcomer Zhao Shizhen, he listened to Hu Daxiong's report on the military affairs of Xuan Mansion in the first month.

"In the first lunar month, the banner army practiced once every five days. The military affairs were as slack as new recruits. Thanks to coal, the entire Wanquandu Division's banner army has had a good year." Hu Liangpeng said so, and released the cavalry to serve as General Zhenshuo's chariot The horse went out to the police, and said: "General Deng and the two chief soldiers called the chariot battalion and cavalry battalion to practice at the Xuanfu Sanwei University Field after the year, but they failed to come to meet them."

Chen Mu smiled, waved his hands and said, "Chen doesn't like this either, as long as he can train useful soldiers, thank you for your hard work... How is the coal market in Xuanfu?"

With the Dong brothers and the second general Deng Hu, it is no problem to maintain the Xuanfu military affairs to the same extent as before. What makes him more concerned is the honeycomb coal that was negotiated with the emperor just a few years ago. How many shovels were sold?
The story of Shuntian Mansion gave Chen Mu a new understanding of the business in this era, and the royal family’s business. He himself did not expect that he could earn tens of thousands of taels a year with a shovel, and that was just Shuntian Mansion.

What about Xuanfu?
"I don't know how to understand those things, and I dare not make up my own mind. The people who received the letter have long been waiting at General Zhenshuo's mansion. They have talked with the internal officials sent by the court, but they still can't make up their minds. Now we just wait for the general to go back and make a decision, not just the Xuanfu."

Hu Liangpeng shook his head as he spoke, looked around and said with extreme caution: "It's the Xuanfu and the whole of Shanxi, as well as Ning, Gan, Shandong, and Jianghuai."

Chen Mu paced forward and suddenly stopped, frowned and looked at Hu Liangpeng, surprised: "So big?"

"The stalls set up by the Wang and Zhang families and the internal officials, they want to let the world have salt, there will be coal."

As soon as Hu Liangpeng talked about Wang and Zhang, Chen Mu knew why the stall was so big. This is the current Jin merchant land snake. They are two families, but they are actually one family.

Zhang Siwei's mother is Wang Chonggu's sister.

Chen Mu nodded at the horse, then rode on and continued, but did not enter the main road of the city, turned to the direction of the three guards of the Xuanfu, Hu Liangpeng hurriedly said: "The general is not going back to the mansion? He is still in General Zhenshuo The government is waiting!"

"Junxiong took the chariots and horses back to resettle, and took the merchants and internal officials to the three guards of the Xuanfu. Chen met them there. It is not convenient for the Yamen and his family to discuss this matter." Peng said: "Let's go and watch the generals train their troops!"

It wasn't that Chen Mu wanted to show off or something, since he heard from Hu Liangpeng just now that Deng Zilong and the Dong brothers were practicing at the school grounds, Chen Mu decided not to go home and go to see it first.Although it is said that the New Year is a holiday, in the eyes of others, I have gone to Beijing to have a good time, and the first thing I do when I come back is of course to see the soldiers under my command.

As for letting the leaders of merchants and internal officials go to Daying to find him, this is not a show, it should be.

This is not the business negotiation of later generations. In this era, he is the biggest in matters that he is fully responsible for, not to mention that even if he is not fully responsible, he is also the biggest.

Who is he?
There are only about a hundred people in the world who can directly call him General Zhenshuo in the texts, and the rest must be called by their full names, and they have to be called this:
The imperial envoy guarding Xuanfu's local commander-in-chief Wan Quandu commanded the envoy to print the Prime Minister's military affairs Zhenshuo General Chen.

He can search for people with courtesy and corporals, but even if others come to him through mountains and rivers——should be.

On the way to Xuanfu Sanwei University Campus, Chen Mu finally read the letter that Bai Yuanjie sent from Nanyang Weigang last year. The letter said that hundreds of Jinyiwei arrived in Nanyang and took a boat to visit Malacca. Chen Mu smiled.

This made him happily take out two taels of silver from Hu Liangpeng's waist and throw it to the servant rider who delivered the letter, so that he could take it to invite people to drink and have fun.

Hu Liangpeng watched Chen Mu skilfully touch the silver from his waist and throw it out to reward people, his mind stopped, and he saw Chen Mu immediately patted his shoulder and laughed, but he didn't know why.

What else could be the reason, this has become the biggest good thing for Chen Mu to go north!

"General Hu, have you ever fought with the Westerners?"

This sharp turn made Hu Liangpeng a little unacceptable, whether it was him, Deng Zilong, Bai Qi, or the soldiers who went from the south to the north, they had been frantically learning and absorbing the northern tactics in the past six months. Because they know that one day they will meet the northern captives, and the north is a battlefield for chariots and riders, and they are all novices.

Even if Chen Mu brings long cannons, this may change the northern war mode to a certain extent, but the key vehicles will not change.

Even if the government and the opposition are talking about peace, they still can't make a turn, or they don't need to make a turn at all. Fools think that the peace is for another battle. When they reach the level of guerrilla generals, their cognition is clearer. Take this opportunity to rectify the troops and horses, and achieve the goal of not fighting with the ability to fight and dare to fight.

Hu Daxiong was full of thoughts on how to deal with those northern captives who looked less fierce than him on the battlefield. Chen Mu suddenly asked him here if he had fought with Dongxieryang barbarians. Hu Liangpeng barely used his brain He replied: "My subordinates have fought Japanese pirates several times, but they have never fought Westerners."

"There will be a chance, General! You just need to be prepared. When the time comes, you will go south with Chen Mu. Once you go south, what we will face will not be small fights on the shore, nor will it be a mere ship-to-ship fight." Bow to decide the outcome."

"It's a sea battle that depends on strong ships and guns, and full-screen riding on land shows your prestige!" Chen Mu let go of the reins on the horse's back, and showed off the riding skills he had honed for several years by using only his legs to control the horse. He hit his chest and said: "That will be far away from Minguang, country and country, and we will compete in our new continent, hahaha!"

Chen Mu knew that from the moment Jin Yiwei went to Nanyang, it was decided that Ming would be involved in another war that would bring prosperity or destroy everything.When those flying fish and bullfights bring back information about Malacca and even the New World to the west for the Forbidden City, frugal emperors, hard-working cabinet ministers, as well as the civil and military courts, the world’s Zhaoli—who can refuse this gluttonous feast that swallows the world?

The big thing he wants to do is finally no longer alone, and finally it is no longer a lonely fight to win over the coastal defense soldiers, unite the southeast maritime merchants, and support the giant bandits in the sea!

The protracted war in my heart that overturns the pattern will eventually come.

When no one in the whole world knew what would happen next, Chen Mu looked at his majestic army at the Xuanfu school ground in the humerus of the Ming Empire in East Asia, gearing up and trying to show his sharp fangs.

He is preparing, he has been preparing for a long time!
