Chapter 311: Long Life
Chen Mu, who was far away in Asia, didn't know that his brother-in-law Yang Zhaolong had run away from home, and in the Water Shelter Pavilion of the Changsheng Library, he was flipping through the battle reports sent back by Heiyunlong and Hulan from Quebec.
The Hulan of Jincheng and the victorious Black Cloud Dragon combined to break through the trading post of Fayi in Montreal on the St. Lawrence River, and routed the main force of the Hurons, absorbing them into the Longhouse Alliance.
The course of the battle went very smoothly, and neither of the two divisions suffered much damage, but after that, the two generals had different ideas about the distribution of the next spoils, and everything that followed was at an impasse.
Just such a thing, Chen Mu received three battle reports and fourteen letters.
With the Black Cloud Dragon's own words, he made a superficial analysis of the tribal situation from Florida all the way to the north, and came up with his 'Black Cloud Dragon-style' solution to the Northeast people's situation - following the example of the Longhouse Alliance and forming a brotherly alliance.
There are also official documents from Hulan, spanning dozens of tribes and alliances from Jincheng to the east coast, and also came up with a 'Hulan-style' solution - the Dongyang Military Government transferred the descendants of the nobles of various tribes to form the Cowardly Xue Army, and established the Great Hulanwei Temperance Department on the grassland.
Another war report was sent by Ma Gui, he was Hulan's top boss, and basically agreed with Hulan's suggestion, the reason is also reasonable, the first expedition to the east in the early years, whether it was the imperial court, Chen Mu or Ma Gui, they all made many wishes to the soldiers recruited by the Han Guards, Mongolian steppes, and Jurchen tribes under their command, and now the imperial court has a firm foothold here, and it is time to fulfill the promise.
The other letters are only for reference, such as a letter sent by a hundred Guan Zheng under Hulan's command, expressing concern about Hulan's idea of rebuilding Greater Mongolia in Asia.
There are also a variety of official documents such as work reports handed in by propaganda officers at all levels under the two armies, psychological problems of the flag army, and so on.
"It's all going back, and it's not a border, and it doesn't seem beneficial to just set up a guard station and a tribal alliance in the long run."
Zou Yuanbiao, who was called by Chen Mu, did not agree with either method, he said: "They want to turn the north into a toast, and they hope that the big man will think twice, and he must not go all over Tuzhou." ”
"I'm doing the same thing as you."
Chen Mu's hand patted the letter, and the other hand rubbed his temples and said: "The meaning of the existence of toast is to maintain stability, and sooner or later it will be changed and returned to the stream, but what their letter says is also right." ”
"For one thing, we don't have enough people to fill the north, and the northern tribes are not as closely connected with me as the West Coast tribes, and we have the common enemy of Spain, so we can only try to do it."
"The second is a miscalculation in the early years, at that time I was worried that the imperial court was unwilling to go east, just like Asia before we came, rather than let it be a Spanish colony, I would rather be full of Ming Tusi and guards."
Chen Mu has a very serious zero-sum mentality, if such and such a place is not mine, then it doesn't hurt to destroy it, even if I can't get anything, I can't let others get benefits.
This was the case in the early planning of Asia, since this is Spain's, then I will rob you according to the colony, one by one, one by one, until it borders 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 the bag of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Mu is a little reluctant.
Even though there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, Chen Mu could only sigh and said: "I promised my subordinates that I always have to do something, I can't say that I won't give the reward that should be given, but let Ma Dujun correct Hulan's thoughts, that's not the Hulan Ministry, it's Hulan Wei." ”
"I sent someone to do this, it's almost the Wanshou Festival, just summoned the five prefectures, the five overseers, and the two governors, and took the opportunity of setting up an incense case for His Majesty to celebrate his birthday, to discuss how the northern tribes should manage local administration in the future, and also, convene the leaders of the tribes to come together to celebrate the birthday."
Wanshou Festival is the birthday of the Wanli Emperor, September 4.
Chen Mu has also been preparing a gift to the Wanli Emperor recently, a gift package of Asian specialties - Aztec elastic balls and rubber saplings, and a "New Vulcanized Rubber Wonderful Use of the Oriental Military Government" with a rubber vulcanization manual.
When the time comes, let the returning fleet of the third phase be brought back to the emperor, and it can be expected that the future Wanli Emperor will be crowned by later generations as the "Steam Emperor", "Gun Emperor", "Training Emperor" and other titles, plus the well-known name of the Emperor of Planting Trees.
Thinking that the little emperor who made a mistake in the Forbidden City and knelt down obediently and did not forget to put his head on his knees may be known as the emperor who surpassed Taizu and Chengzu in combat effectiveness since the Ming Dynasty, Chen Mu laughed unconsciously.
I almost laughed out loud before I realized that Zou Bald was still in the house, and he restrained his smile again, raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, North Asia must set up local administration, and the administrative agency is the best time to solve it in the contemporary era, and if it is not solved in the contemporary era, it will be a mess for future generations, and it is unnecessary to spend great efforts when the time comes." ”
"Have you seen it, is there a candidate for success in the clan...... The imperial court didn't talk about Jinshi this year, even if it was a person and a tribute, it didn't send one, and there should be at least five over there, no, let alone three counties, right? ”
Zou Yuanbiao told Chen Mu with an expression: You are dreaming!
"Xia Guan didn't say that my Daming Sect didn't have a weapon." Zou Yuanbiao was extremely helpless, and arched his hand: "Dashuai, think about it, can the finished one be sent here for you?" Or does the big marshal want to send the great mathematician to Dangzhi County? ”
The bald man answered the question very clearly, and the only one who became the leader was Zheng Wang Shizi, but Zhu Zaiyu just brought these people over, and when he planned to go back, he had the final say, even if it was Chen Mu, he couldn't command them.
"Except for the prince of Zheng Fan, the rest of the bunch of wine bags and rice bags will not know anything, no, they will also do."
Zou Yuanbiao and Chen Mu rarely put aside the topic when they spoke, but you can imagine how helpless he was to the gang of sub-clans, and slowly patted the tea case with his palm: "Those who rob people's daughters, blackmail property, scare officials, and even want to embezzle Changsheng's taxes, a total of more than 600 people have lived in Changsheng for half a year, and 37 people have violated the law more than 400 times. ”
"You can't go to prison, you can't be punished, you can only be arrested and escorted to the prince of Zheng Fan every time, the son of the world is virtuous, but he has no seniority, many people are uncles of the prince, and they are still the same when they go back after being scolded, and no one can do anything about them."
Zou Yuanbiao said, looked at Chen Mu fixedly, and whispered: "Marshal, take this opportunity, if any tribe is disobedient, he will seal a lieutenant of Fengguo to his tribe, and if there are three long and two short, the military government will report ......."
"You can't die, you can't die."
As soon as Zou Yuanbiao's words came out, he was denied by Chen Mu: "There are only 600 people, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the country waiting to be sealed, and there are dead people now, and those people will not be able to come out in the future?" ”
"Raise it first, don't worry, remember the good performance for me; If you don't behave well, remember it, and sometimes settle accounts for them - wait and see. ”
