"Awesome, awesome!"

Chen Lan is still the same, with a cyan shoulder-wide robe covered with iron armor under the phoenix wings, and he landed in Macao when the navy went ashore to rest and replenish, and was immediately attracted by the centipede ship that Chen Mu stopped at the shipyard to repair.

"Two centipede ships, a fortune ship and a two-masted Panyi plywood ship, these four small ones and the five clippers in Xiangshan. I heard that Mr. Yu is going to send you another Dafu ship. ”

"You've already arrived, Chen Erlang."

Chen Lan walked to the bow of the ship from the stern of the ship with seventeen bronze Franc cannons, looked back and pointed at Chen Mu with a slight ridicule, but the hand stretched out was not a contemptuous finger, and opened his five fingers and smiled: "I said how can you get the governor Yamen to ask for an order, and let people not beat the idea of these two boats - the warship of your Xiangshan Institute is stronger than the total strength of the two sailors under Chen!" ”

When he said this, Chen Lan couldn't help but be envious.

He garrisoned four of his subordinates, with a total of 2,000 battalions, two rivers and two lands, four fortune boats, eight fast boats, more than 20 fire boats, grain ships, artillery rafts, and various warships, to inspect the sea areas of Xin'an and Xiangshan counties.

The number of troops is not small, and there are many firearms and firearms such as all kinds of fire bricks, firearms, etc.

But only the cannons, the guns with a range of more than 400 paces, were just 15 guns, 12 were Franc machines, and only three were fireworks, which were specially mounted on the rafts of the Fu ship, and they had to be hoisted out into the sea outside before they could start.

"Presciently, just these two centipedes, placed in the Guangzhou Mansion, can lead the generals out to grab food, if it weren't for the governor's order, you wouldn't be able to keep it."

"How's it going, the matter in Ho Jing O has subsided?"

Seeing that Chen Mu was just smiling reservedly on the boat, Chen Lan waved his hand and didn't say much, pointed to the north and asked, "I heard that in order to prepare for Zeng Yi, you asked Bai Jingchen's thousand households to help defend Xiangshan, and he will also come over?" ”

"Yes, my brother who went into battle, once a giant bandit with a hundred and ten boats, who came to Xiangshan, where can I stop my two jujubes."

Chen Mu smiled, he didn't know how to be happy in his heart now, he was not worried about Zeng Yi, who might attack Guangdong, it was a defensive war at best, Xiangshan and Qingcheng were close to the strength of the thousand households, even if the field battle blocked the same number of Japanese robbers.

The responsibility of guarding is not a problem, if the sailor is formed, it is impossible to say that these two centipede ships can still make some war exploits at sea.

"There was a mere grass Koer, the action was not careful enough, and the matter was leaked before it was decided, and now the soldiers of the Guangzhou government are gathered, and the two general soldiers of Yu Tang are here, and the generals from all walks of life are gearing up." Chen Lan was full of disdain when he mentioned Zeng Yi, held the bow of the ship and shook his head: "If he doesn't come, it's okay, as long as he dares to come to the coast, it is a living military achievement!" ”

Tang Zongbing refers to Tang Kekuan, who was the one who recruited the Portuguese with Wu Guifang to quell the rebellion during the Tuolin Mutiny, which caused an incident for the later Portuguese life.

Although Chen Mu didn't know how to equip the soldiers and horses of the various departments in Guangdong in the coastal waters, with these two boats under his command, he was much more confident in his heart, and said to Chen Lan: "Then I wish Brother Chen a great victory at sea!" ”

"It's not fast, it's good that you can do it in Haojingao!"

Chen Ling shook his head and laughed, and then said: "The governor Yamen issued an order, and the two chief sailors drifted at sea for more than a month. ”

"Now that you also have a boat, I, Chen, can rest assured, go back and report a copy to the governor's yamen, and take advantage of the morning to go ashore to rest for half a month, in case of accidents."

"Don't thank you for your kindness, wait for Brother Jingchen to come over, and the younger brother will be the east, and the good students will entertain the battalion brothers who invite the sailor to drink wine and eat delicious food."

Chen Mu said this sincerely, even if he really invited two chief sailors to eat a big meal, he would not hesitate to spend two or three hundred taels of silver.

Chen Lan's sailors helped him a lot at sea, buying time, and it was also a kind of deterrent to anchor overseas, both internally and externally.

He made a lot of money this time, thanks to Master Chen Luan.

What's more, there will be things to trouble the sailor in the future, and he is still worried about how to get in touch with Chen Luan.

"Thousand households!"

In the distance, smoke and dust rose from the loess road on the shore road, and there was a herald that the banner army jumped off the horse, looked tired but did not dare to delay in the slightest and ran quickly, and arched his hand: "The governor Yamen ordered you to return to Guangzhou Mansion to discuss the matter of the mirror, and you must arrive in three days!" ”

Chen Mu was very helpless under this order, and the matters he and Zhou Xing discussed were submitted to the yamen of the Guangzhou Mansion, and the methods of managing Haojing were written in the handbook, and he had to transfer himself to inquire in person?

If you want to tune it, you have to adjust Zhou Xing, why do you want to transfer him to a martial artist?

As soon as Chen Mu arched his hand, Chen Lan smiled and said: "You and I are called Guangdong Erchen, and you call me a brother, I will definitely help you." The governor summoned you to rest assured, these days the sailor has rested in Haojing, both your banner army and my battalion soldiers. ”

"What is it like to go, what is it to come back. By the way, but I have to warn you of one thing. ”

Before Chen Mu could speak, Chen Lan had already responded to what he wanted to say, laughing at first, but then suddenly became serious, making Chen Mu also serious and arch his hand: "Thank you, brother, little brother is listening." ”

"It's not good to chew people's tongues behind their backs, just this once. Do you know that before you were appointed to Xiangshan Thousand Households, Xiangshan was not directly under the capital division, but belonged to Guanghaiwei? ”

Chen Mu blinked, thought for a moment before saying, "I really haven't heard anyone mention it, just before I came over, Xiangshan belonged to Guanghaiwei?" ”

Guanghaiwei He knew that the Acropolis was in Xinhui, under the jurisdiction of Xinhui, Hailang, Xinning, Shunde four thousand households, Xiangshan West belonged to Guanghaiwei; Just like the three thousand households of Conghua, Dapeng and Dongguan in the east all belong to Nanhaiwei, and the thousands of households in Xiangshan are wrapped in the middle.

In the past, he still wondered that all the thousands of households around him were under his control, so that he didn't even have colleagues who could plan joint defense together, but now Chen Xuan said that he understood...... After a long time, he, the guard of the Thousand Households, was forcibly separated by the old governor Wu Guifang to deal with the affairs of Haojing!

But he still didn't quite understand what Chen Xuan meant by saying this at this time, and asked, "What does my brother mean?" ”

"Now the entire Guangdong generals are guarding against Zeng Yi, and they are all staring at the Japanese to send their military exploits, and the troops of Guangzhou Mansion have not been so sufficient for seven or eight years, you know this."

Chen Lan didn't say it thoroughly, and said something that was not related to the wind and horses: "The thousands of households in Guanghaiwei have been lax for a long time, and the four thousand households can at most make up 500 banner troops and mobilize the entire Guanghaiwei, and the combat power is probably not as good as Deng Wuqiao, the deputy thousand households under your command." ”

"A military attache has to make meritorious service to have a way out, Chen said this and said goodbye!"

Chen Mu nodded slowly, got off the boat with Chen Lan, and sent him to the side of the road to wait for Chen Lan to get on the horse before saying, "Thank you, brother, we'll see you when I come back from Guangcheng." ”

Chen Lan rode his horse with a long smile and led his entourage to the garrison of the naval division of Haojing Port. Chen Qianhu looked at his back and gritted his teeth.

He understood what Chen Xuan meant.

Guanghaiwei wanted to take back the Xiangshan Thousand Households, and his combat power would be several times stronger, and when he met Zeng Yiyi, he would be sent to fight to the death.

Don't care how Chen Mu is in Xiangshan, the flag army recruits soldiers and self-raising, and he has Guanghaiwei a share of any combat exploits!

"Whew! It's beautiful to think about! ”
