Chapter 117: Old Ginger
Chen Mu felt that what was sitting in front of him was not a drooping old arch, but the entire cabinet of the Ming Empire.
In his eyes, Gao Gong, who didn't understand all kinds of overseas affairs, opened his mouth to ask the first question on the topic, and said: "Can Chen Shuai's troops stay in Luzon be combatable?" Why did Ke Zhan stay in Luzon? ”
Does this need to be asked? Luzon is his base camp and the military government is located, not to mention to protect the peace of Liangguang, he is not worried about Guangdong, which is a strong general.
"This is the Nanyang Military Mansion, not the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, nor the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, let alone the Liangjing Military Department, there is chaos in the southeast, and there will be soldiers from the southeast." Gao Gong asked with a reasonable temperament, and said: "Lu Bo is still here, Yu Shuai is fierce, Liu Xian is capable of fighting, and Tan Lun is not old." If the enemy is fierce, our Ming soldiers will have no Chen Shuai's sharp firearms, warships and ships. ”
"Lucky boat firearms, land division art of war, roaring 100,000 soldiers, good generals and old commanders out - Chen Shuai said that overseas strong countries, only Xiyi, Portugal, Hongmaofan, its prosperity is thousands of miles, can there be a person who can take Guangdong Province within three years?"
Chen Mu was asked.
He thought about it, and it seemed like there really wasn't.
In these years, no one on the western sea and land could really throw the Ming Dynasty away, and even if it was advanced, it was very limited, far from reaching the level of qualitative change.
The worst result is heavy casualties, even if you use a fortune ship, the enemy's largest warship, one fortune ship is not enough, two ships are not enough, five ships are not enough, fifty ships, and there is no local battle that cannot be defeated.
Conquer Guangdong, not to mention, not to mention that the Liangguang Fujian Naval Division is forging ahead now, even if it is the era when Chen Mu is still Xiaoqi, there is no one in the world who can obtain Guangdong.
At best, they can enter the Guangzhou Mansion, loot it, and retreat directly without guarding, and there is still a way to survive with harassment tactics.
As for what Gao Gong said, Yu Dayou, Lu Bo, Liu Xian, and Tan Lun added a piece to guard Guangdong, and Chen Mu smiled directly.
"The four marshals don't say that they will defend Guangdong, if they are transferred to the South Seas, they will be equipped with shark boats and fortune boats, trained for three years, 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers, and the food and salary will be sufficient." The donkey man rubbed his chin and short beard, didn't know what to use as a metaphor, and finally pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and said: "Six years later, it will be the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Six years?"
Gao Gongxin said that it doesn't matter if you underestimate yourself, you can't underestimate those four people.
However, he didn't continue to talk to Chen Mu about this matter, "Chen Shuai said that six years is six years, and the old man really doesn't know as much about Nanyang things as Chen Shuai, but the accounts are not good." ”
There is no good general who does not understand the baggage, just like there is no first assistant who does not understand finance.
Gao Gong read all the accounts of the Nanyang Military Government, and between the lines of the accounts, everything that the Nanyang Military Government had done in the past two years from beginning to end, coupled with the existing overseas map of the Nanyang Military Government, he knew the Nanyang Military Government better than Chen Mu imagined.
"If the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done, and even if it is successful, it will cause a lot of harm to the future." Gao Gong took out a pen and paper, and wrote down all Chen Mu's subsidies to Liangguang and Fujian without comparison, each stroke was clear, and after writing it, he pushed the letter page with ink stains on the case, and said: "That's not how money is used." ”
"It's about turning a good thing into a bad thing."
"The chapter was submitted to the cabinet, the Nanyang military government needs more capable officials, and the provincial nursing homes, drain gardens, and Huimin pharmacies need to be allocated silver by the imperial court. The imperial court's tax expenditure was insufficient, and the revenue of the Nanyang military government increased. ”
"However, cotton cloth, warships, artillery, birds, armor, military service, conscription and other manpower and material resources are insufficient, and it is recommended that the two Guangzhous and Fujian have the advantage of the coastal sea, which should be levied by the imperial court, and the Nanyang military government should use silver taels to dedicate the social studies, nursing homes, and Huimin pharmacies in various places."
Chen Mu didn't understand at first, and then his eyes lit up.
Gao Gong ignored him at all, and then said: "How much is apportioned by the imperial court every year, the Nanyang Military Government reports to the cabinet, and the cabinet transmits to the three provinces, how much can the three provinces collect, and the affairs of the three high-ranking officials; How many taels of silver are solved by the Nanyang Military Government, and the affairs of the Nanyang Military Government; The silver and the goods are clear, and there is no need for the Nanyang military government to intervene, and the affairs are not done well, and the governors of the three provinces are responsible for it. ”
"The reward for technological innovation is also reported to the Cabinet, the Cabinet of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry to Guangdong. Even if people have endless desires, not all the people in the world only know how to corrupt and wield power, what are you afraid of? ”
"Ten bird guns blow up two shots, two shots are crooked, and there are still six craftsmen doing things seriously. If you really can't even do this thing, the Ming Dynasty will die early, and you Chen Mu is not the only one in the world, who is honest and honest, selfless. ”
"These things, it's not that you Nanyang Chen Shuai can explain it clearly if you come-don't die?"
Chen Mu nodded slowly, sat on the chair and leaned back, looking at the castle wall that had been robbed before he had time to carve it, and let out a long breath: "Oops—"
The world is getting harder and harder.
At the earliest, he can rely on bravery, cleverness, and knowledge that others don't know, step by step. Later, everything I knew was running out, and it was not easy to be brave.
Deng Zilong, Bai Yuanjie, and Chen Luan, all of them can fight better than him; Tactics and weapons are standardized, and the generations of Chen Bazhi, Shao Tingda, and Shi Qi are not much worse than him; There are also reckless heroes like Lin Afeng, Lin Daoqian, and Lin Manjue at every turn.
Fortunately, we have a bright head, and we can still stay in Luzon to strategize, give the front-line troops a burden, and let them play to their strengths without worry.
Now, the high arch is here.
To a certain extent, the first assistant who rules the huge empire, pondering that these things are really like playing, just looking at a broken account book can show him so many problems.
"If Gao Gong still knew Nanyang so well when he was in the position of first assistant, Iwami Yinshan would have been held in the palm of his hand by the younger generation."
"It's not too late." Gao Gong waved his hand and ignored Chen Mu's flattery, and said: "The Law of All Nations is good, although it is rough but it can be used, but it is leaked from the sea, since this sea is the sea of the Ming Dynasty, there is also the law of the Ming Dynasty, but I won't talk about it today, and I will talk about it another day." ”
As he spoke, the paper on the table was pushed aside, and Gao Gong took the pen to write a few lines on another piece of paper, saying: "The Nanyang Military Mansion does the affairs of the Nanyang Military Government, regardless of anything else." Xiyi is no longer a major trouble, and there are three key points in the affairs of Nanyang, one in Malacca, one in Japan, and one in America. ”
"Malacca is an important sea road, although I don't know why you are so obsessed with silver, but it doesn't matter, just rely on silver, the old man thinks that this circle can earn five million taels a year." Gao Gong drew a circle in the existing sea area including Malacca, Japan and the Ming Dynasty, and said: "The western attack will cut off the trade route and the silver two, first from the east, you say that the southern part of America is the West Yi Silver Mountain, then you must take the West Yi Silver Mountain, and stabilize Japan first." ”
"But Japan doesn't use it like this, it has been more than 7,000 troops for more than a year, and it has not become a big deal for fear, and it is not appropriate to attack the land of the three counties." Gao Gong said that he didn't even blink an eye, and said easily: "There are melee battles in various parts of the Dongyi Kingdom, and the king is soft-spoken, and he must have had a very hard time, so he brought two pieces of silver into his king's capital, met with the king, and taught him to play a song to ask the great tomorrow to calm down the national turmoil." ”
"If it doesn't work, retreat and ask for the second, choose a county official and general with a gentle temperament, and write to the Son of Heaven for help."
"If the name is not right, the name is not good, the name is right, the heavenly army crosses the sea into Dongying, and the stone is merely Ikumi." Gao Gong put down his pen, "It's at your fingertips." ”
