Chapter 282
Some people are just annoying, you obviously don't want to talk to him, but you have to ask his opinion on some things.

In the eyes of Xuanda Governor Wang Chonggu, Zhenshuo General Chen Mu is such a person.

"The general really thinks that it is a good thing to agree with me to set the border of the country with Bansheng as the boundary, and the mutual market in Bansheng?"

On the eighth day of February, Wang Chonggu informed the imperial court of eight matters, namely granting official titles, setting tribute amounts, determining tribute periods and roads, setting up mutual markets, saving border fees, refusing to surrender, opening up wasteland cities, and repairing border preparations.

The Ministry of War please print and distribute Wang Chonggu's memorials to the ministers for discussion, and send them to Chen Mu. Chen Mu submits revision opinions one by one according to Wang Chonggu's eight articles. One, published at the same time.

As for Alta and the Mongolian tribes, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty at this moment have no doves, and the 30-year war has run through the lives of all the officials in the Ming Dynasty today, and they only have hawks.

The court's comments were nothing more than two voices whose starting point was war. Wang Chonggu was the milder of them, and his purpose was also very clear, so he started fighting slowly.

The purpose of another group of people is clearer, they want to fight, and they will continue to fight now.

"Of course it's a good thing!" Chen Mu still respects the governor now, but his words tend to be more genuine respect than the previous flattery due to the huge difference in status. He said to Wang Chonggu: "Obviously, we can make the border Wouldn't it be a good thing to advance northward for ten to thirty miles?"

Wang Chonggu paused, raised his hand and pointed out: "It's a good thing if only Bansheng is used as the boundary, but if the mutual market is located outside the Great Wall, what can be used to protect merchants' business routes?"

This is very important.

Snapped!
"Guns and cannons!"

Chen Mu clapped his hands firmly, "Choose a good location outside the Great Wall, build forts, set up barracks, dig trenches, and protect our trade routes and land. After all, there are too many horse bandits outside the Great Wall."

Speaking of which, Chen Mu himself laughed. I am afraid that he will become the biggest horse bandit leader outside the Great Wall in the future.

"It's not worth mobilizing so many troops for five or six miles, but if it's to prepare for the next battle, it's a rainy day."

Wang Chonggu had a beard, but didn't say anything else. He thought that Chen Mu's eyes on the land must not be for the purpose of farming outside the Great Wall. Although the Great Wall is twenty or thirty miles away from Bansheng, the Great Wall was built on the mountain. Not many are on flat land, and there are mountainous lands along the way. The only land that can be cultivated is five or six miles close to Bansheng.

Hearing what Wang Chonggu meant, Chen Mu laughed in his heart, but said nothing on the face, he was not just fighting for war, he was eyeing that piece of land, even though that piece of land was just a strategic buffer zone for both the north and the south of the Great Wall , rather than agricultural land.

But for Chen Mu, that is agricultural land, and it is the military land under his control, don't you?What a joke!
His people are looking for potatoes overseas. Once potatoes are found, all these military fields will be planted.

After the planting is completed, it will be promoted in Southwest China and Gansu, and he will not be in charge of the subsequent affairs.

"The imperial court is discussing this matter, and I don't know what the result is. The old man saw that you handed over another memorial, saying that you want to build a lecture hall in the Xuanfu. What is that?" Wang Chonggu no longer talked about the eleven things. Said, and turned to mention Chen Mu's memorial, and asked, "Like the Imperial College?"

"No, no, how can it be the same as the Guozijian." Chen Mu wanted to be the principal of the Guozijian, and he replied to Wang Chonggu: "The younger generation thinks that an army capable of fighting must have infantry, chariot, cavalry, and five soldiers. The factors of victory and defeat depend on the generals people see with their eyes, but the strength of an army determines the skills of the five soldiers in the front and the neglected generals at the lower level."

Wang Chonggu nodded slightly. In the final analysis, what Chen Mu was talking about was the ability of generals. It was nothing more than the separation of high-level generals from low-level generals. He motioned for Chen Mu to continue talking, and at the same time asked Chen Mu's personal soldiers to pour tea and water.

"Now the Wanquandu Division, the Five Armed Forces Department is in charge of the Five Thousand Households Office, and the required ordnance can be in place within one year after the completion of the Ordnance Bureau. Let alone the general's talent, what is lacking is the talent and integrity of the junior generals. "

"Most of the lower-level generals are promoted from the banner army. Martial arts is not a problem, but some are hereditary and have thousands of families to learn strategy, while others don't. Just relying on a handbook to read it may not be of much use, especially in small towns. The talent is especially lacking when the banner becomes the general banner and the general banner becomes a hundred or even a thousand households."

This is Chen Mu's personal experience. When he was in Xiangshan, many of his cronies were able to do a job well, but when they established Nanyang Guard and wanted to promote Qianhu, the talents of Fu Yuan and others seemed insufficient to take on the important task of Qianhu.

Although they can barely do it, they have personally experienced how Chen Mu rectified the guard. Even so, there are still many difficulties. What about others?

"Therefore, there needs to be a place where incumbent generals compile books, idle veterans serve as teachers, select in-service junior officers to study, return to the headquarters after they have finished their studies, command troops, and continue to teach their talents to their subordinates, as long as these people can survive , Great Ming will have an endless stream of generals!"

Wang Chonggu nodded slowly. Generals have limited talent, so they may not be able to learn well, but if they are lower-level generals, they can be achieved through learning. If the martial arts lecture hall proposed by Chen Mu is meaningful.

"I don't know if General Zhenshuo has any considerations for the strong and handsome editor and the veteran who is in charge of teaching?"

There was a smile on Wang Chonggu's face. The young man in front of him had no idea what he meant to the military generals in the world when he said that the in-service strong and handsome, and the veteran who is out of work is also a book editor and a teacher.

Assuming that Jiangwutang is really implemented through the cabinet and first implemented by the Xuanfu, it means that as long as there is no problem in the future, it will be implemented nationwide.And no one knows what to do about this matter better than Chen Mu, he will become the patriarch of future generals.

Standing side by side are these strong commanders who compiled military books and veterans who served as instructors!

Chen Mu paused, then raised his hands and talked eloquently: "The infantry is the first to recommend Qi Shuai from Jizhen, and Chen also has a little experience, but he and Qi Shuai can confirm each other; the car battalion still depends on Yu Shuai from Guangdong and Guangxi and Qi Shuai from Jizhen." ; Ma Shuai is unstoppable in a horse battle in Datong. Last year, Vice President Li, who paraded Liaodong, oh, now it’s the governor’s job, and his cavalry is also very powerful.”

Speaking of which, Chen Mu is stuck.

After a pause, he said to Wang Chonggu, "Chen hasn't thought about Artillery Division and Engineering Division yet, hey! It doesn't matter whether Chen thinks about it or not. At that time, the cabinet ministers will have their own lessons. They think who has this ability, Let who do it."

What, is General Chen shameless?Could it be that he has the nerve to tell Mr. Wang that apart from Qi Shuai, the Infantry Division, who can confirm each other with me, there is no one from the Artillery Division, Engineer Division, or Company, who can confirm each other with Mr. Chen?

He is embarrassed to say this!
