Chapter 534
Mang Yinglong's army surrendered.

After being defeated by Yu Dayou again in the sixth reorganization, the defeated army retreated to Qinshan, and the chieftains from all over the country under his command rebelled. The defeated army who surrendered to the Ming army was escorted to the front of Yu Dayou's vanguard army to surrender.

Yu Dayou's strategy did not regard this place as outside the national border at all. The concept of national border was very vague to the Ming people. The characterization is that he was bewitched by the rebels, and those who have a seal within one month before joining the army can be pardoned and innocent.

After the defeat of Mang Yinglong, Burma could no longer stop the Ming army. A local guard who governed tens of miles and had thousands of soldiers saw more than a dozen soldiers riding with Ming flags and asked to surrender. Offer gold and silver book vows, but ask the heavenly army to let me go, and vow to never rebel for ten generations.

In places thousands of miles away, bright flags were set up in the camps of native officials and the villages of Liuwei City between ten and a month.

When Chen Mu received the letter from Yu Dayou from the north, it was nine days after Mang Yinglong was defeated and surrendered by his subordinates.

That afternoon, Baigu City was sunny and sunny, and Chen Muli picked up the ship at the port of Baigu Fortress, which was being repaired. A fleet of thirteen big blessing ships from Guangzhou Prefecture slowly arrived at the port, except for two soldiers. All the monks on board were monks, and their leader was the monk Tianshi.

A few years later, the brave and powerful monk Tianshi showed his old age when he followed Yu Dayou to fight the Japanese pirates with an iron rod. He looked kind and kind, as if he was really a monk.

However, the two gray and long-lived eyebrows could not deceive Chen Mu. He knew this great monk very well from the inside to the outside.

Under the old monk's cassock are coiled muscles that are harder than him. He eats beef and sleeps with girls. When he has nothing to do, he drinks old wine from Guangcheng. Convince people with reason.

From the stern of the Fu boat, the monk Tianshi stepped onto the trestle with a small boat, striding vigorously, and the ringing sound of the tin stick he was carrying was clear and crisp, no, Chen Mu looked carefully, what the old monk was carrying was not a tin stick, but a tin stick Just put it on the iron rod.

To put it bluntly, a normal tin stick is also made of iron, but this one is different. His eight-foot stick has eight edges at the top and bottom, with mottled spots that can't be cleaned even after being wiped and polished-Chen Mu can't look familiar anymore, so he improvises and inserts the stick. He could still recognize the head of the tin stick, it was the [-]-pound iron rod that the monk Tianshi used to smash the heads of Japanese pirates.

The old monk took big strides with his mixed-iron tin stick, and when he was about ten steps in front of Chen Mu, he handed the tin stick to a monk with a big arm and a round waist behind him, clasped his palms full of calluses and whispered the Buddha's name, and saluted Chen Mu: " I report to the Minister of Nanyang, the poor monk Tianshi, under the order of the court, brought a thousand monks and soldiers from Shaolin in the north and south, and monks and soldiers from the temples in the four provinces, and came westward to spread the Dharma of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, there was a strong monk behind him who lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to hand over the official document, which clearly stated that the person in front of him was not Tianshi, the sixth-rank researcher of the Weapons Department of the Navy Lecture Hall, but the abbot of Xishaolin who was issued by the emperor's decree. Temporarily led the Sanxuan Liuwei and Nanyang monk affairs, and established the ninth sect of Buddhism.

As for the ninth sect of Buddhism that does not exist, and where the so-called West Shaolin is, the emperor didn't say anything, but it can be seen from the imperial decree that the little emperor's letters polished by his cabinet ministers are still very close to the monk Tianshi who has never met before. Confident, the emperor hoped that he could bring Sinicized Buddhism back to India.

Chen Mu handed back the imperial decree, seeing the strong monk who delivered the imperial decree became more and more familiar. Shao Tingda, who was behind him with a shaved head like the monk, opened his eyes wide and said, "It's you, a bird-bearing hozen!"

It was the rogue monks and soldiers who protected the temple from Liurong Temple who seized the military land, and they were beaten by thousands of households in Xiangshan in their early years.

"Amitabha, general calm down. It has been a few years since we left outside the city of Guangzhou. This little monk has reformed himself. At the right time, the Buddha is called up, and he will accompany him across the sea to save all beings."

The evil monk backed away as he spoke, for fear that the soldiers would swarm him up again and beat him to death. Although he didn't dare to fight back in the past, he could still let the abbot find someone to talk to him. The abbot of the temple has to be conscripted abroad, and this group of soldiers is even more difficult, so how dare they talk back.

It is not an exaggeration to say that all the little flag soldiers who beat them back then had their fists fired. As long as they did not die, they would be promoted to at least three ranks now.

"Okay, Zen master Tianshi don't put on an air, I found you. If you want to do something cheap, you've already prepared Guangcheng old wine and fresh roasted beef." Chen Mu looked at the strong monk and the little novice on the big blessing boat. , he dared not get off the boat, waved to Abbot Tianshi and said, "It's not that I do something cheap for you, it's you that do me a favor, so that everyone can get off, let's talk while walking."

Abbot Tianshi proclaimed the Buddha's name again in a low voice, before he could say the word of Buddha, he had already stepped forward, saying: "Old monk, thank you handsome man, they are all from the handsome man's old department, and the old monk will surely fulfill his mission!"

Chen Mu turned his head three times a step at a time, and looked at many familiar faces among the monks who disembarked one after another. Although he couldn't name them, it made him think of the Magui Legion of the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Expedition and the officials who might be sent to Spain—if we say "contains scum Quantity' is a unit of measurement of how many scumbags have done how many scumbags in a group of people. I am afraid that this fleet composed of monks is much higher than the previous two.

"There are some things you can't do in Daming. If I see them, I'll tear down the temple, but it's fine here. The monks you recruited are all very good. What I want to do requires capable people like them."

"In the entire Indochina Peninsula, the battle is over. I have only one thing to do, and you have many things to do." Chen Mu and Tian Shi talked with the flag army and said, "Since your majesty has issued an edict , to encourage you to spread Chinese Buddhism to the west, then you must do it in your lifetime, needless to say."

"But before that, San Xuan Liu Wei, Siam, and Champa are all Buddhist countries. Mang Yinglong has repaired the Buddhist temples and pagodas. You can move in with your luggage. I asked you to come here to let them Go back to the old business in the Ming Dynasty, confuse the people, accept temple properties, preach and lecture, lend usury, and help the court manage these places."

"After all, Daming's nominal land will only have the two deltas of Thang Long and Baigu in the future. You will help me control the rest. In the future, there may be India. There are now 17 soldiers stationed in various places. There are monks, those who can be included will be included, and those who cannot be included will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, will it work for a year?"

In the middle of the day, he stopped and looked back at the monks who followed from the trestle bridge. He turned his tin staff, as if he was measuring the fighting power of the monks, he nodded slowly and asked, "How much of the temple's property can we keep?"

Chen Mu hooked his index finger slightly, made a 'nine' gesture, and looked at Tian Shi expressionlessly.

The abbot didn't even have a flash of surprise in his eyes, he just nodded firmly and said: "Old monk understands, Jiucheng Temple was built into the Nanyang Military Mansion, please trouble the handsome man to send a flag officer to supervise the tax, and there is no need for wine and meat. May I ask where is the nearest temple? The old monk is here to lead Buddhist disciples to come to ask for Buddhist teachings!"

Smart!
Chen Mu nodded appreciatively, raised his finger to the ancient city of Bai that protruded from the jungle in the distance, and said: "The pure place of Buddhism is not suitable for posting gold and silver, but I promised not to rob the temple property. But If you didn't agree, let's go and reason—when they are willing to donate to the temple, don't forget to take all the gold from me!"
