open sea

Chapter 310 Blasphemy
Wake up refreshed.

Chen Mu had too many things to do and was at a loss for a moment, so he decided to start by going to Haojing.

He wanted to inspect Bai Yuanjie's work.

I haven't landed on the island for a long time, I'm afraid the complaints in the mailbox have already piled up like a mountain.Not to mention, in the two years since he left Guangdong, people have not forgotten him. The first thing Long Junxiong did when he came back was to send people to Chen Gong Temple in Tuen Mun to burn incense and make up for his master. incense.

Chen Mu, who took two healthy geese for a walk, brought them back to the Xiaosheng Temple in Tuen Mun, which was refurbished and covered by the local maritime merchants. In the past, the small temples at the alleys in front of the villages were gone. There are six villages in Tuen Mun worshiping a large ancestral hall. , the Chen Mu of the ancestral hall was painted with yellow paint, bigger than his real life, and looks exactly like the distorted portrait hanging in the front hall of the Chen family's mansion in Nanyang Port, but he changed his name.

The Golden Dragon Ruyi is the True Monarch of the Profound Altar of Dragon and Tiger.

"We don't know what's going on. It is said that there is a man named Yu in Fujian. He came to inquire about folklore. It seems that he wants to write a novel." Long Junxiong held his helmet and scratched his head, "What is it called Dongzhou or other countries? He always told the villagers about those gods and ghosts, and then he became like this."

Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
Chen Mu felt that the name was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, his eyes widened.

Fengshen Yanyi!

Although there were scriptures about Fengshen in the Yuan Dynasty, the Romance of Fengshen has not yet been fully written.

"Let Shao Xing go back to his hometown in Fujian and look for this Yu. He wants to write a novel, and Mr. Chen can help him. If he wants, he can write a book under my curtain." Master Chen jumped off the boat with the goose, Looking at the closed gate and the long-lost Haojing Fort not far away, he said: "Writing novels should take a long-term view. Let him go to Luzon with Chen to collect materials. Wherever our fleet goes in the future, the novel will affect it. "

Shao Tingda, Shi Qi and other old subordinates who accompanied him listened and smiled, but they were used to the general's usual nonsense, so they didn't say much.Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong had nothing to say, they knew that Chen Mu's heart was wild and big.

The only one who spoke out was Zhao Shizhen, who was always novel. He didn't think that Chen Mu wanted to be hired as an aide just because someone else wrote a novel and established him a higher prestige in Tuen Mun through the theory of ghosts and gods.

After all, most of the military households of Wanquandu Division worshiped Chen Mu, and in his opinion, these things should not be enough to surprise Chen Shuai.

He felt that Chen Mu must have deeper plans.

He asked: "I don't understand Minggong's move, can you explain it in detail?"

"It can be said that everything is ready now, and the most difficult support from the imperial court has been resolved; Guangdong can also be said to have strong soldiers and horses, and ships and guns; the target is also very clear, and that is Xiyi in Luzon."

Chen Mu returned the salute to the officers and soldiers at the gate, led the Nanyang officers and said as he walked, "There is only a little left now. Before the full-scale war, what is the purpose of us waiting? Is it to march outside the territory and act as a dominance? Of course not, the imperial court wants to expel Xiyi, restore peace to Lu Song, and re-establish the prestige of the emperor outside the land of the emperor."

"That's why I ask His Majesty to use the four characters of Yubi as the sails of the Nanyang gunboats in the future. The sky has no boundaries, because the state has boundaries and the dynasty has no boundaries."

"Most of you are generals. In the past, the imperial court did not go out to fight, but very few, mostly in the north. This time we are not fighting for the tributary country, but still fighting for ourselves. We have three battlefields, in the war, in the trade, in culture."

"The tribute alone is not enough to make up for the needs of the court, and it is not enough for us to push our soldiers to the battlefield, so we need trade; and if we want to continue to trade, we need culture. When they read our classics, learn from our heroes, and even the gods All in our system, with the same things in our hearts, they become us."

Chen Mu could already see the tall cross on the church in the middle of Haojing Square. It seemed that Bishop Carneiro of Macau had not been idle in the past two years. Although he took the steps and stones to pave the road, the church was slowly built.

The gods are innocent, but no one has a heart.

"Culture and trade influence each other to form a new celestial system. Good technologies are exchanged with each other, and bad things are gradually discarded. Chen has always felt that if a person lives, he must either control money and power, or make his life meaningful."

Chen Mu looked at the people following him and smiled, raised his hand and said, "Now everyone, you have both!"
-
The Portuguese finally remembered Sai Lugong's fear of burning the letter box.

Following the two big geese striding forward into the municipal square, merchants and helpers with different skin colors took a deep breath, and then they saw Huang Cheng, a camera man sitting firmly in the city hall, rushing past with a group of entourages In the square, bowed down between two big geese, presented a volume of books and sang loudly: "Xiaorenhao looks at Huang Cheng, and pays homage to the Minister of Nanyang!"

In the distance, the Yi merchants with Xinzhi Haojing whispered to each other and asked who this young man was surrounded by Commander Bai and Nanyang Weiyi officials and dignitaries, and the leader Huang Cheng bowed down, and then they showed surprised expressions that are not difficult to guess.

"The news is very well-informed. Dan'er said that you are very good, so he entrusted you with the important task of managing Haojing." Chen Mu said, took the book and glanced at it. Bai Yuanjie had shown him this thing a long time ago. , Chen Mu nodded and said: "Now it seems that you are in charge of it pretty well. Well, Chen didn't come here to look at your accounts. He sent someone to summon... yo, came by yourself?"

Chen Mu wanted to call Bishop Carneiro, Bingtou Perez and others to attract business, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, these people had already come, and the leader Bishop Carneiro saluted first, and said eagerly: " General Chen, you are finally here, I implore you to restrain Andrea Didis, his ungodly behavior has affected many of our believers, and people's pious hearts have been influenced by him to lead to corruption!"

and many more!

Chen Mu didn't want to talk about Andrea Didis with the Portuguese, he wanted to see where the Portuguese would stand in the war between the Ming Dynasty and Spain, especially the Portuguese in Haojing, let alone...Chen Mu He frowned and said, "Bishop, I haven't praised you yet. Your Chinese has improved rapidly. But that Andrea, who is that?"

Chen Mu didn't dislike the bishop who had to fight him one-on-one for the believers in this land.

The old bishop paused behind his glasses, looked suspiciously at Bai Yuanjie and then at Chen Mu, and said, "This is your country, I want to use your language, and Andrea is your son!"

The expression on Chen Mu's face became even weirder. When did he have a foreign son?

Huang Cheng quickly said: "It's Lord Li. He was baptized by a priest to get sweet potatoes in Luzon. That's his Christian name, and the believers call him that."

It was because of taking sweet potatoes for himself. Chen Mu nodded, rubbed his jaw and short beard and asked, "What did he do that is so outrageous?"

"He would go to the church to pray to God for blessings every time before going out to sea. This is very good. We all do this when we go out to sea, but he insisted that a god is not enough to protect him. He went to worship the general's temple in Tuen Mun, and worshiped the concubine in Haojing Go to the Liurong Temple in Guangzhou to worship the Buddha, and then go to the North Temple of Yuexiu Mountain to worship the long-haired practitioner. It is said that he is blessed by the five gods, and everything will be fine when he goes out to sea!"

"General, this is blasphemy!"
