Chapter 994 Longevity
Chen Mu, who was far away in Asia, didn't know that his brother-in-law Yang Zhaolong had run away from home. In the shelter of the Changsheng Library, he was reading the battle reports sent back from Quebec by Hei Yunlong and Hulan.

Hulan of Jincheng and Heiyunlong of Changsheng joined forces to break through the Fayi trading post in Montreal on the St. Lawrence River, defeated the main force of the Hurons, and absorbed them into the Longhouse Alliance.

The course of the battle was very smooth, and neither of the two divisions suffered too much loss. However, after that, the two generals had different ideas about the distribution of the next spoils of war, which brought everything that followed to a stalemate.

For such a thing, Chen Mu received three battle reports and fourteen letters.

Heiyunlong talked to himself, briefly analyzed the tribal situation from Florida all the way to the north, and came up with his "Heiyunlong-style" solution to the people's conditions in the Northeast - imitating the longhouse alliance and forming an alliance of brothers .

There is also an official document sent by Hulan, spanning dozens of tribes and alliances from Jincheng to the east coast, and also came up with a "Hulan-style" solution-the Eastern Army government mobilized descendants of nobles from various tribes to form the Qixue Army, set up on the grassland Hulanwei temperate various departments.

The other battle report was sent by Ma Gui. He is Hu Lan's immediate boss, and he basically agreed with Hu Lan's suggestion. The sergeants recruited by the Handi Guards, the Mongolian Grassland, and the Jurchen tribe made many wishes. Now that the imperial court has gained a firm foothold here, it is time to fulfill their promises.

The other letters are only for reference. There is a letter sent by Hulan's Baihu Guanzheng, expressing concern about Hulan's idea of ​​rebuilding Mongolia in Asia.

There are also various official documents such as work reports submitted by the preaching officers at all levels under the two armies, and psychological problems of the banner army.

"It's all going back, and it's not the border. It seems that the establishment of guards and tribal alliances will not be beneficial in the long run."

Zou Yuanbiao, who was called by Chen Mu, did not agree with the two methods. He said: "They want to turn the north into a chieftain. I hope the commander-in-chief thinks twice, and he must not go all over the land."

"I'm thinking the same thing as you."

Chen Mu patted the letter with his hand, rubbed his temple with the other hand, and said, "The existence of chieftains is to maintain stability. Sooner or later, they will change the soil and return to the people, but what they said in the letter is also correct."

"For one thing, we don't have enough people to enrich the north, and the tribes in the north don't have a deep connection with me like the tribes on the west coast, and they have Spain as a common enemy, so we can only plan slowly."

"Secondly, it was a miscalculation in the early years. At that time, I was worried that the imperial court would not want to go east, just like Asia before we came. Instead of letting it be a Spanish colony, I would rather be full of chieftains and guards of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Mu has a very serious zero-sum thinking. If a certain place is not mine, then it’s okay to destroy it. Even if I get nothing, I can’t let others benefit.

This is the case with the early Asian planning. Since it belongs to Spain, I will rob you as a colony, and spread it one by one, and one by one, until it borders on the area under your actual control.

Even if the imperial court can't get any benefits from Tuzhou or Weisuo, as long as it can hurt your interests, it's worth it!
But now that Asia has become Daming's pocket, Chen Mu is a little bit reluctant.

Even though there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, Chen Mu could only sigh and said: "I promise my subordinates to do what I have to do. I can't say that I won't give you the rewards that should be given, but I want the Governor Ma to correct Hulan's thinking. That's not the Hulan Department, it's the Hulan Guard."

"I'll send someone to do this. It's almost the Longevity Day. I just summoned the magistrates of the five places, the governors of the five departments, and the two governors. Taking the opportunity of setting up an incense table for His Majesty's birthday, we will discuss how the northern departments should respond." How to manage local administration, and also, call the leaders of the tribes to come together to celebrate the birthday of Changsheng."

Wanshou Festival is the birthday of Emperor Wanli, September [-]th.

Chen Mu is also preparing a gift for Emperor Wanli recently, a large gift package of Asian specialties - Aztec bouncy balls and rubber saplings, a copy of "The Magical Uses of Vulcanized Rubber Newly Compiled by the Oriental Military Mansion" with a rubber vulcanization manual.

At that time, let the third fleet of the return voyage be brought back to the emperor. It is foreseeable that the future Wanli emperor will be dubbed "the emperor of steam", "the emperor of gunfire" and "the emperor of military training" by later generations, plus The famous name of Emperor Planting Trees.

Thinking of the little emperor who made a mistake in the Forbidden City and knelt down obediently and didn’t forget to put a kneeling pad under his knees, he might be praised as the emperor whose fighting power surpassed Taizu and Chengzu since the Ming Dynasty, Chen Mu laughed unconsciously. .

He almost laughed out loud before realizing that Bald Zou was still in the room, restrained his smile, raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, there must be a local administration in North Asia. The administrative organization is the best solution in modern times. Solve it, what will be left to future generations will be a mess, and it will be unnecessary to spend more effort when the time comes."

"Have you read it, is there any candidate for success in the clan... The imperial court this year, not to mention Jinshi, even Juren and Gongsheng didn't send one, there must be at least five, no, at least three counties Bar?"

Zou Yuanbiao told Chen Mu with his expression: You are dreaming!
"Didn't the lower official say that my clan of the Ming Dynasty is not capable?" Zou Yuanbiao was extremely helpless, and cupped his hands and said, "Commander, think about it, can the successful ones be sent here for you? Or is it that the Marshal wants to send the great mathematician Go to Dangzhi County?"

The bald man answered the question very clearly. The only one who can succeed is Prince Zheng, the leader of the team. But Zhu Zaiyu just brought this group of people here. When he plans to go back, he has the final say. Even Chen Mu can't command it. people.

"Except for the son of Zheng Fan, the rest of the gang know nothing, no, they also know."

When Zou Yuanbiao and Chen Mu talked, they seldom left the topic aside. One can imagine how helpless he was to those clan clans. A total of more than 600 people who wanted to embezzle Changsheng’s taxes, lived in Changsheng for less than half a year, and 37 of them violated the law more than 400 times.”

"You can't go to prison, you can't use punishment, you can only be arrested and escorted to the son of Zheng Fan every time. The son is a man of virtue and talent, but he has no seniority. In terms of speaking, many people are uncles of the son. If you scold them and go back, they will still be the same. Who will take them?" There is no way."

Zou Yuanbiao said, looking at Chen Mu with fixed eyes, and said in a low voice: "Marshal, take this opportunity, if any tribe is disobedient, a lieutenant of Fengguo will be appointed to his tribe. If there are any problems, the military government will report ..."

"Can't die, none of them can die."

As soon as Zou Yuanbiao said it, Chen Mu rejected it: "There are only 600 people, and there are still 10,000+ people waiting to be sealed out in the middle school. People are dead now, and those people will not be able to come out in the future?"

"Let's take care of it first, don't worry, let me remember those who behave well; remember those who behave badly, and sometimes settle accounts for them—wait and see."

　Good morning!
