Chapter 21: Marriage

Nanyang Weigang, Chen Mu decided to call it Nanyang Weigang.

Chen Mu drove more than a dozen shark boats all the way across the Lingding Ocean, and the prosperous Hong Kong in later generations was not even a fishing village on the shore, at most it was a barren land, and there were only a few hundred households living there.

Guangzhou Haiphong belongs to the Nantouzhai Naval Division, which is one of the six villages in Guangdong, east to Dawu and west to Guanghai, which is similar to the Nanyangwei jurisdiction, but Guanghaiwei was the main defense land division in the past, and Nantouzhai was the main defense water division.

However, this matter was outstanding when Chen Mu was a thousand households in Xiangshan, and it changed after the defeat of Zeng Yi at sea, and the new Nanyang Guard became a defense on both land and sea, and both internal and external fleets and shipyards were set up, and they had to be prevented if they were not defended.

The Nantouzhai Naval Division under Chen Lan's jurisdiction had only 56 warships and more than 1,000 standing battalions; The actual naval artillery battle is not as good as a Xiangshan Institute - although Chen Luan added a lot of smoke to the application of artillery after the Battle of Tuen Mun, but the battalion system is not like the guards after all, let alone the clean new Nanyang Guard, and the main warships are still mainly incinerated weapons.

The world is changing dramatically, and artillery is being used on a large scale in the endless seas, but until now this is only a process, and the undeveloped strong ships and cannons cannot win completely against the huge number of experienced and heroic jumping ships of the Ming Dynasty.

So even if there is no Chen Mu, the South China Sea in this era is still the world of these arsonists.

No one cared about the idea of the Nanyang Wei commander to build a water village in Xin'an, and the instructions were completed almost on the same day as the request of the transmission capital was delivered, and the Guangdong commander was very kind to this commander who could make them enjoy themselves in peace and courteous for several weeks, and had a solid backing, not only achieved his goal without resistance, but also said that 500 craftsmen from Zhuwei would be sent to assist in the construction of the port.

As for the letters to the governor, General Chan was reprimanded.

Zhang Han said that as long as the Nantouzhai Sailor is willing, he can move the Xinhui Shipyard wherever he likes, and build the new port wherever he likes, and he is already the commander of the palm print, don't always bother him because of this kind of trivial matter - Old Man Zhang is exhausted by the war of Wei Yinbao in Guangxi, and he has no energy to care about this little thing.

Deng Quan's third brother Deng Zhong did not come to Nanyangwei to take office at all, and he was transferred to Guangxi before his ass was hot, followed by Bai Yuanjie who was transferred to Nanyangwei as a co-intellectual, and was authorized to temporarily take charge of Nanyangwei's affairs after Chen Mu went to Beijing.

Chen Mu's living conditions were clearly seen by Yang Yinglong, who observed him closely, and in his letters to Banzhou, words never lacked ridicule, and of course there was no lack of compliments.

"This commander looks like a hard worker, although he is a general, he always regards himself as a civilian official, and he has few preferences, and there are only three things in his words: one is a goose, two is a boat, and three is a cannon."

Of course, Yang Yinglong also discovered the unknown side of General Chen, although the young general's life is quite 'simple', but in fact he is not poor, on the contrary, he is very rich, Hao Jing alone earns more than 10,000 taels a year, and the smuggler Nanyang is even more profitable, and has created a huge network of relations led by him among the generals in Guangzhou.

The truly talented generals and officers of the entire Guangzhou Prefecture were all encircled by him, and whether it was the supply of military supplies or personal contacts, the generals and colonels who were in the limelight had a close relationship with him.

He has the ability to turn stones into gold, and with Qingyuanwei, Guangzhou Wei, Nanyangwei, and Nantouzhai Wei military camps, he has formed an open source of silk weaving, traders, and escort comprehensive sea dealers, and has been very close to many maritime merchants in Fujian.

This can be seen from the fact that the imperial court issued a hundred ship guides in Yuegang, and the number of merchant ships nailed to the bow of Fujian and Guanghe reached seventy.

Of course, many things are just Yang Yinglong's self-thought, he lived in Nanyangwei for two months, and just happened to see April when Haojing's commerce and trade were at its most vigorous.

And it just so happened that Xiao Tusi didn't know anything about overseas, so everything he saw was covered with a veil, so mysterious and so curious.

Who made Banzhou's main network of relationships in Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou and the imperial vassal king, but not the sea?

In Yang Yinglong's eyes, General Chen, who was full of poor and sour spirit for the first time, became a little taller after Haojing held Fanyi hostage, and this tall impression was especially obvious when he was seated in Nanyangwei and controlled overseas.

Because he saw that Chen Mu had found a job for Lin Feng and Lin Daoqian's old department.

This matter is very divine in Yang Yinglong's opinion, but in Chen Mu's opinion, it is a nossy matter, he doesn't care about this idle matter Lin Daoqian will rebel again, because Lin Feng always led people to bully her old department, and since the beginning of the year, he has led the fleet to attack the chicken coop twice, and the chief military officer of Guangdong thinks that more things are better than less things, and he doesn't want to provoke Lin Feng for Lin Daoqian.

The key pirate fights the pirate, which is a happy thing for them.

Chen Mu became a peacemaker, called Lin Daoqian and Lin Feng to Haojing, and tried to solve the problem.

He couldn't get used to seeing the Ming pirates killing each other, but Lin Feng's people wanted to eat, and they didn't want to attack the city, and they didn't have business dealings with Chen Mu, so it was not good to plunder Hexingsheng merchant ships, not to mention that they had coveted chicken coops for a long time, so they naturally wanted to fight.

In fact, so many Fujian maritime merchants have the name of Hexing, which is also related to Lin Feng, they found that the pirates of Fujian and Guangzhou did not rob the ships of Hexing, not to mention that they had known each other for a long time, and they all ran to Haojing to join the business.

Chen Mu's idea to Lin Feng and Lin Daoqian's old department was to set up a card to collect money, and they would escort the route from Luzon to Japan. There is no need to fight, neither taxes nor robbery, just simple employment, which can not only integrate the pirate forces of Fujian and Guangzhou, but also find a livelihood for them.

Hexingsheng businessmen also just needed this strength, and they almost hit it off.

Chen Mu is a middleman.

But this matter was seen by Yang Yinglong, and it became a proof of the prestige of General Chen, who was not conspicuous and unremarkable, overseas.

The maritime merchant who came from Yuegang brought back Yan Bo's letter, in which Yan Bo did not agree with Chen Mu's idea of taking Yan Qingyao to recognize his father, basically the old shopkeeper and the little shopkeeper made the same decision, and the marriage deed can be married as a side room.

On the other side, the Yang family, through Yang Yinglong, sent a letter and once again formally asked Chen Mu whether he should make this marriage.

He has nothing to refuse, the Yang rebellion is twenty or thirty years later, compared with the help brought by the marriage, even if Yang Yinglong is against Chen Mu after thirty years, it can be ignored.

Thirty years, if he can't even settle this matter, he might as well go back to Qingyuan to feed the geese.

The marriage should be selected to send the dowry to Banzhou, but regardless of whether it is a big wedding or a concubine, the marriage date will indeed be postponed.

Because of the letter sent from the military department in distant Beijing, the order has been issued, and the commander of Nanyang Wei Zhangyin is instructed to select 1,000 people from the elite banner army as the squad and escort the artillery to Jizhen.
