Chapter 115: Set Sail

In fact, Chen Mu and Gao Gong talked about these things without a decisive role, Gao Gong is now a real hand and has no power, Chen Mu said that these are just hoping that Gao Gong can use his wisdom to help Chen Mu correct his not so correct thinking.

If there is, it will be changed, and if it is not, it will be encouraged.

In terms of talent, Daming has countless virtuous appearances, but Chen Mu thinks that if all of them are sent together, Gao Gong can squeeze into the top three.

Gao Gong may be a little smaller, arrogant and happy, lacking a bit of virtuous bearing, and the mind of the exemplary officials is insufficient, which also lays a hidden danger for him to quit the prime minister. But it can be said that he has a problem with his personality, and he is not bad at all in terms of appearance.

Zhang Juzheng's six things, the central purpose is the same as Gao Gong's Chen Bashi, and even the follow-up Zhang Juzheng's series of reforms, in fact, is also a continuation of Gao Gong's thinking, is the result of the cooperation between the two of them.

The only difference is that when Zhang Juzheng was alive, no one could oppose him for doing these things.

It's not the same if it's a high arch.

Chen Mu is worried!

How could Lin Afeng hit the wrong person?

The good Majapahit country is there, and people can't catch up with Bali, which is half the size of Bintulo, and there are thousands of garrison districts, how simple it is, huh?

How could Lin Feng fight together with Java next door?

It's!

"Lin Feng asked me to send someone to receive Bali, and by the way, I sent him some grain, saying that he won three battles over there, occupied two islands including Bali, and attacked a place called Surabaya, the local leader surrendered, and he promised to help the leader of Surabaya attack other leaders, and there were many Han people, and they all followed him to raise troops, and there was not enough food and grass."

Chen Mu was a little helpless, he really didn't want Lin Feng to go over there to open up territory, just change countries, send people to make peace and resolve misunderstandings, after all, now is not the time for the Nanyang Military Government to swell to the point where it can start a war in all directions.

But the key point is that the state of Java has never been a great unified dynasty, with a large local population, no less than a million households, and hundreds of tribes, each fighting for itself, and the situation is chaotic to the point of chaos.

Trade alone allows them to get everything they want, and there is no need to use such stupid methods as war to get involved.

Now he just wants to make peace, who to say peace with?

Chen Mu found that in this era, the Minguang Lin clan's combat effectiveness overseas was very strong, Lin Daoqian was already considered to be in peace, Lin Afeng was uncomfortable not fighting with others, and in the Guam battle report just sent, Lin Manjue used a handful of soldiers to mess up Guam and make the fleet land like a bamboo.

These two people are not related to each other, but the overseas wars are more and more fierce than the other.

"Dashuai, this is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Leader Lin wants grain and grass." Xu Wei didn't think so much about Chen Mu, he looked at the map and found Surabaya in the northeast corner of the big island and looked up and said to Chen Mu: "Then the big marshal will transport grain and grass, and you can also write a letter to him, don't help a country succeed, assign cronies to support all the ministries on the island, so that all the countries on the island can open up their territories, but the largest is no more than one county, provoking all countries to fight for themselves." ”

Saying that, Xu Wei raised his hand to order some tea and said, "You can invite another vassal king in the middle of the court, seal the country in the meantime, divide and rule." ”

Chen Mu had already told Xu Wei about the idea of inviting the vassal king to go to sea to become a vassal domain, and his staff all agreed that without a local governance foundation, it was basically impossible to govern with bureaucrats, and if you want to govern the huge country, you need to divide it.

The most reliable person in the feudal system, of course, the most loyal is the Daming clan, not to mention that they spend rations in the country, it is better to get out.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "One Java is enough to divide hundreds of clans. ”

The evils of the clan are very great, and more than 20,000 clans have to receive 200 stone at least a year, which is actually just a small number. The Chinese people are more reasonable, and the world is brought down by the ancestors of the clan, and it is understandable that people are born with good treatment.

The key is that the clan is not satisfied with this, those who have farms and fields enclose land make the people have no land to cultivate, and those who collude with the emperor and businessmen monopolize the salt law.

Even if there are a small number of perpetrators, the DPRK and the Chinese people will look at this problem in their own eyes, but they have no better solution than to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

The final result caught up with the internal and external troubles caused by the people's grievances, and once the anti-king entered the city, the heavenly streets trampled on the bones of the ministers, and the princes in various places basically did not survive.

"Sooner or later, they will come over, and only the head of the court can do this."

Chen Mu nodded heavily, this matter may only be done by Zhang Juzheng.

"Isn't Lin Daoqian's side able to build his own small shark boats, twenty or thirty small shark boats from him, there should be no shortage of swords, spears, bows and crossbows from Lin Feng's side, and transfer 1,000 arquebus guns from the Guangdong Dusi Banner Army, and let the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau give Guangdong 800 flintlock guns."

Two or three years have passed, and most of the soldiers in the Guangdong Banner military camp still use arquebus guns, but this is indeed not something that can be done overnight.

He was the commander of Nanyang Wei, and the guards were full of arquebuses, which were already the best guards for firearms in Guangdong, and there were even a large number of old-fashioned firearms in other places. Nowadays, most of the guards in Nanyang, Qingyuan, and Guangzhou are flintlocks, but the rest of the guards have just replaced the arquebuses.

Let the flag army exchange the fire rope for the fire gun, the power is enough, after all, the increase in range power is clear at a glance.

But it was more difficult to get the commanders of the guards to use flint for the fire rope, the range and power were not directly improved, the rate of fire was a little faster, and there was a small number of bird guns that occasionally fired without firing, they were not so happy.

Unless a death order is given, the progress of attaching the flintlock is very slow.

Only generals who have actually fought the enemy with flintlock pistols want to use flintlock pistles...... The Ming Dynasty used the tactics of the bird gun, which was nothing more than Lin Manjue's, or used the stragglers to sneak attack and leave; Either shoot in a formation and shoot in turns, and go to the top to release the gun.

The biggest advantage of the flintlock is not that little rate of fire, but that it allows the error-prone sergeant to save the risk of not being able to connect to the arquebus again and again due to hand tremors.

Even if you don't get angry, it's good to do it again with the faucet lever on the board.

As soon as Xu Wei said this, Chen Mu also wanted to open it, so he simply let Lin Feng toss, he asked Zhao Shizhen to polish the letter, and said: "Tell the leader of Lin, Chen will give him a grain and grass and bird support, but this is not a war of the Ming Dynasty, it is a local melee, and the leader of Lin is just invited to help, and he should divide his countries and support him." ”

"Except for the 1,000 poles of bird guns given to the chief of Lin and the 3,000 soldiers for the grain and grass needed for the month, the rest must be purchased by the Javanese countries at a parity price, which is the same price as Sulu and Borneo."

Zhao Shizhen remembered the main point, and when he heard Chen Mu's parity, he glanced up, he knew Chen Mu's 'parity', bartering, and buying a gun could make the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau more than three strokes if he counted the wages.

"In addition, as the war progresses, the gold, silver, copper, iron, pearls, and spices on the island are discovered, and the local needs such as cotton and silk are also identified, and the merchant ships are about to set sail."
