open sea

Chapter 956
The vast Changsheng Bay is showing a rare and magnificent scene in the world.

Countless warships and merchant ships are nothing to berth in the bay. Ships are moored in large numbers at sea. Except for some dangerous areas with hidden reefs along the coast, the ships will line up endlessly in the distance, even if the watchman on the port tower Hands can't see the end either.

There are countless small paddle boats coming and going on the sea, constantly transporting and loading and unloading all kinds of supplies. Whenever it is time to cook together, those ships will emit smoke from the cooking, which is dazzling.

"46 large and small warships and 270 three civilian ships are moored in Changsheng Port; 22 warships and 73 civilian ships are moored in the small bay."

Zou Yuanbiao was sweating profusely from the sun. Like Fei Laoer, his forehead also suffered from inexplicable pain. For this reason, he even refused to use the Internet hair towel. Under the black thick cloth hair towel, the biggest pain in his heart was hidden. Secretly, at the gate of the port office, he cupped his hands and said to Chen Mu: "Small boats under [-] materials are not counted. Prince Ailan dare not train troops anymore, for fear of shocking the battleships by firing cannons."

Chen Mu held a thick stack of reports from the third phase of Beiyang in his hand, and watched the people on the shore hand over the official documents to the soldiers, squinted his eyes and muttered, obviously his mind was not here, and said casually: " There is something in our own sea that can disturb the fleet."

He was looking at the people who came down from the fleet. The leading person had a familiar walking posture. When he got close, he laughed out loud, and walked towards them quickly - the leading person was Bai Yuanjie.

Looking behind him is Zhang Yongshou, the two are surrounded by several officers of Beiyang Phase III, then the old man Hai Rui with his head held high and chest out, and behind him is Zhang Jing, the emperor's confidant, leading the eunuchs and several soldiers. A great Han general named Yijia Yaori.

All acquaintances, the lineup is grand.

Zou Yuanbiao was also happy to see Zhang Jing. He thought that he had bribed Zhang Jing back then, thinking that after impeaching Zhang Juzheng, he would save himself from a violent beating.

"Your Majesty sent your brother here?"

With a smile on his face, Bai Yuanjie led a group of officers to stand still from a distance, but waved his hands lightly around his waist and pointed at Zhang Jing without making a sound.

Only then did Chen Mu see that Zhang Jing was holding the edict in his hand.

After Zhang Jing’s experience of making waves at sea with Lin Afeng, he has seen eunuchs in the big world, not to mention that he had met Chen Mu in the early years. Get ready to receive the order, Your Majesty has an order."

With the edict in front, Chen Mu naturally did not dare to neglect.

Not to mention, I really miss the little emperor after not seeing him for several years.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict... The Emperor said." Zhang Jing, who read out the edict, suddenly had a strange expression. He seemed to want to laugh, but he still struggled to hold back. His posture made it clear that he did not say these words: "After several years of fighting, Chen Qing is not as smart and intelligent as I am, modest and eager to learn, and has no time to improve knowledge, old rules."

Your Majesty.

The majestic Jing Haibo of the Ming Empire raised his hand to wipe his face in front of the crowd, sighed softly, and then continued to bow his hands.

How can there be such an emperor who, in the imperial edict, does not boast of his subordinates, but himself?
Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou looked at each other, both of them couldn't help laughing, and...Bai Yuanjie is very envious, this is not an imperial edict, it is more like a private letter.

"I practiced the Four Guards Banner Army at home. I haven't gone to war. I will borrow your two guards to drive and send them back after two years so that I can make use of them. Your meritorious deeds are known to everyone in the world. I plan to reward you with ten thousand taels of silver, but Mr. Huode Xing changed and changed again and again, and the family needs to spend money, so there is no reward."

"I haven't seen you in the past two years, and I miss you very much. The opening of Songjiang is approved, and the goods you want will be sent to you, as well as new warships and new weapons."

Zhang Jing paused, closed the imperial decree and said: "The emperor's grandfather said that we have to wait for the Lord to thank the emperor for rewarding the emperor with ten thousand taels of silver before continuing."

Well, the little emperor is now more and more developing towards Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu.

But what happened to this silver reward?

I plan to reward it, but because of something, I can’t change it, so I won’t reward it again, and I have to thank you if I don’t reward it?

Co-author Your Majesty misses Chen only so much?

Someone laughed out loud.

There is no way, Chen Mu thanked Zhang Jing first, and then asked Zhang Jing: "Then what did Huode Xingjun change, what is it?"

"Returning to my lord, Huode Xingjun is the emperor's grandfather's mount. It was enough for the emperor to walk in the palace, but now the palace lady is pregnant. His Majesty wants to take the palace lady to ride with him, so he can't walk, so he called the Ministry of Industry. Modify the mount to increase strength."

Zou Yuanbiao, who greeted the officials, whispered to the left and right officials: "Hey, it's amazing, the Ministry of Industry can still compete with horses!"

Chen Mu glanced back at him, understood in his heart, and asked Zhang Jing, "Steam car?"

"Yes, the steam car, named Huode Xingjun, is moving slowly but steadily... Sir, don't worry, we have to stay in Changsheng for a few months, and there is plenty of time to talk about domestic affairs later, let's talk about your majesty first. What do you think if the procedure for the villain is completed?"

Chen Mu wants to finish the process more quickly than Zhang Jing. He can feel that the little emperor is too lonely in the Forbidden City. Maybe it is because no one can communicate with him like a normal person after he left. Twenty thousand miles across the sea will also issue an edict to toss and toss himself.

But he still underestimated how naughty the emperor who was about to grow up was, Zhang Jing's next words frightened him.

"Thank you for your kindness, right? You have made great contributions to the country, and I wanted to give you some rewards, but after the money was spent, the Ministry of Households would not give it; I wanted to promote you to the title of marquis, but the cabinet I don’t agree, so I won’t seal it up. I heard that Mr. Fu Ziwen strongly opposed it this time. If you are not happy, I will give you an order to allow you to enter the cabinet and have a fight.”

In fact, Chen Mu was a little happy to hear that Zhang Han was the second assistant of the cabinet.

As for quarreling or something, it is impossible. If you don’t make a Marquis, you won’t be a Marquis. Besides, he feels that he has the same idea as Zhang Han. Even if he wants to be a Marquis, he must be a Marquis when he is in China. is a good thing.

"But I have to be rewarded and punished for my great achievements. I saw that your garden in Weigang, Nanyang, was well repaired, so I demolished it. Anyway, there was nothing in it, and it's meaningless to keep it. And you are in Donghua. The house outside the door, I bought it and won't let you live in it."

Chen Mu:? ? ?
What do you mean there is nothing inside?It is obvious that several years ago you sent someone to sneak around and take things to your bedroom next door without saying a word, even my out-of-print bird gun from Jiajing 46 years ago!

My house is as big as Nanyang Weigang, huh?

Chen Mu looked at Bai Yuanjie. The house was built by Bai Yuanjie. At that time, it was a wild land. It was just in time for the construction of Nanyang Weigang. Counting the yard of more than seven acres, the emperor thought it was pretty good, so he demolished it?

Is this logical?
You also bought back the Beijing mansion bestowed in the past, and I only have these two mansions!

Is this still a great reward?

The laziness of teachers who are not strict in teaching, how did Zhang Juzheng teach the emperor!

Bai Yuanjie was not in a hurry at all, she looked like she was waiting to see Chen Mu's jokes.

"I also demolished the Tiger City in the capital. Anyway, there are no tigers in it. I moved your garden in Weigang, Nanyang. As it is, every brick and tile is correct. The decorations will be placed in the style of a military room. In the future, you can Get closer to me. But I won’t return the things to you, let the Ministry of Industry make a new set, exactly the same, like the old ones.”

"The title will not be promoted, and you will be increased by a thousand stones as a reward. Zhang Jing talked a lot, he must be tired." When Zhang Jing said this, he didn't think it was weird at all. Putting away the imperial decree slowly, he said: "There are still two letters, I will talk to you another day, this is it."

　Good morning!
