Chapter 106: Fate

Chen Mu named Zhao Shizhen's arrow car the General Banner Arrow, but Zhao Shizhen was not happy, so he didn't say what it was called Shenwei Arrow.

In fact, not only Zhao Shizhen, but the whole army has learned about Chen Shuai's simple and rude way of naming everything, who doesn't want the weapons they use to be more majestic? can rummage through the arsenal, except for the two-pound cannon is the small flag arrow palm thunder, their arsenal seems to be the least imposing one in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Look at others, people's cannons may be less than half the size of a two-pound cannon, but the name is majestic! What kind of Shenwei cannon, the second general cannon, people's rockets are all names like a hundred tigers, even if it is Qi Shuai, who pays attention to hard work, and also made five thunder god machines in Jizhen, in fact, it is just a five-eyed gun that can turn.

What about them?

Thanks to their invincible Chen Shuai, they used the world's sharpest bird guns and artillery, but their names were defeated one by one.

In others, there are many names for birds, but in Chen Shuai's mouth, there are only handguns, short guns, and long guns; There are also many names for other people's artillery, but in Chen Shuai's mouth, there are only two catties, five catties, and ten catties.

No one knows that Chen Mu has his own naming philosophy.

In his recent letter to Bai Yuanjie in Guangdong entrusting him to build a special fleet, in addition to the general's ship number Chi Hai, there is also a main gunboat with a scale of 1,200 materials, and the ship is named Gou.

"Why hurriedly run in and drink two sips of water first. Wuqiao, I was looking for you. Chen Mu saw Deng Zilong enter the study, and said with a smile: "I just asked Brother Jingchen to build another big ship in Nanyang, 1,200 materials, which is slightly smaller than an ordinary general ship, but I asked the craftsman to cover the board and waterline three feet with iron sheets, and use pure iron for the front of the ship." ”

"This ship is not afraid of burning, although there are fewer guns, I estimate that it can only be loaded with twelve to eighteen guns, but in addition to the sails in the ship and the water wheel, the ship that can stop it from hitting has not yet been born! I've wanted to give you a ship that isn't afraid of fire, and I'll even name you! ”

Deng Zilong was stunned by Chen Mu's words, what is the iron boat, what is the iron boat?

That thing will sink directly into the water, right?

And why did you want to send me a ship that is not afraid of fire a long time ago?

But Deng Zilong saw that Chen Mu was on the rise, and he didn't ask in detail, but just said, "What did the general name the ship name?" ”

"Hey, hey." Chen Mu smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we go back to Guangdong!" ”

"Go back to Guangdong."

The Cantonese soldiers have been away from their hometown for more than a year, and everyone is like an arrow, Deng Zilong is no exception, shaking his head and leaving behind superfluous thoughts, Deng Zilong hugged his fists and said: "General, the second son of Liaodong General Li is here, and he brought a few people to wait outside the mansion. ”

Li Chengliang's son came again, but this time it was no longer Li Rusong's head, Chen Mu was very relieved, and said, "Let them come in." Toshio, go and get a cuirass, a waist knife, and a handcuff to prepare. ”

Deng Zilong went to meet those people in front of the yamen, Long Junxiong went to the armory of the house, Chen Mu did not sit in place, stood at the threshold of the front hall of the house, and saw Deng Zilong bring seven or eight people dressed in various clothes into the house, this is because the soldiers of the house intercepted more than ten people outside, otherwise there would be more people.

There are old and young people who enter the mansion, and their costumes are also very different, including the Han sons who are the leaders, the old girls and the real samurai, and there are a few Koreans wearing big hats.

Just looking at this strange combination, Chen Mu felt that maybe the people he was looking for were here.

Two Han sons with faces somewhat similar to Li Rusong but slightly green walked to the front, gathered their sleeves two steps away, took a step and bowed, and the elder said: "Li Rubai, the younger generation, with his fifth brother Rumei, visited General Zhenshuo on the order of his father!" ”

Li Rumei is still a teenager, but Li Rubai looks similar to Li Rusong. In other words, he and Chen Mu are also the same age, but they regard themselves as juniors, not at all like his brother's pride, and he won Chen Mu's favor cleanly.

"Li Gongzi, please get up quickly, you and I are the same age, so you don't have to think of yourself as a junior." Chen Mu held up Li Rubai with a smile and said sincerely: "I have been friends with Mr. Li for a long time, and I have also seen the prestige of Li's iron cavalry, so we will each hand over our own, and we can call Chen a certain brother." ”

Li Rubai's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to say, just kidding! They came to apologize to Chen Mu, his eldest brother Li Rusong was offended because he called Chen Mu a brother, and now where does he dare to call Chen Mu a brother again.

At the same time, in my heart, I branded General Zhenshuo Chen as a hypocrite.

"There's nothing to dare, let's go in and talk."

Chen Mu led everyone into the house, he was not hypocritical. Although it is very common to be an elder at the same age or even younger in this era, he doesn't care about this, he doesn't like Li Rusong because his proud personality makes him uncomfortable, instead of calling him a brother.

In other words, Chen Mu has always believed that others can't make decisions for him, and he is willing to treat others equally, but others can't decide equality for him, because this era is not equal. His choice of equality is a gift, and it is his magnanimity, not that he ought to be.

If I want to give, I will naturally give, but you can't ask for it.

"Who are these?"

Everyone sat down, Li Rubai was the host and guest, and everyone below sat down one by one, Li Rumei sat in the first seat on the left, although there were still three empty seats, but the others just stood and did not sit down.

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Li Rubai introduced: "This is her brother Rumei, and sitting next to him is Jue Chang'an, the commander of the left guard capital of Jianzhou, and that is Nikan Wailan, the lord of Tulun City in Jianzhou. ”

"The last general meets General Zhenshuo!" Jue Chang'an's Chinese is very good, and now he is old, wearing a fur cotton armor, he got up and saluted, looked at Chen Mu and asked: "The general asked General Li to look for the grandson of the last general in Jianzhou, if the ignorant child has no intention of angering the general Huwei, please don't blame the general." ”

Chen Mu's official position also has a commander, speaking of the same level as Juechang'an, but Chen Mujia has a high-powered Xuanfu chief military officer, not to mention that the three guards of Jianzhou are controlled by the border generals, and the status of entering the customs is not high, and even to sit behind Li Rubai and Li Rumei, the little hairy child, even if he salutes, Chen Mu does not feel strange.

What a kid!

Chen Mu's gaze crossed Jue Chang'an, and behind him stood a Jurchen boy who was not as tall as the back of the chair, no more than ten years old, his face was unremarkable and even stained with dirt, not like the grandson of the commander, but the eyes that met Chen Mu were not afraid, and there was not much innocenceβ€”at a young age, he had learned to be vigilant.

"The general is too worried, your grandson has not angered me, I have not even met him." Chen Mu smiled and raised his eyebrows at Nurhachi, and said, "It seems that the general's grandson doesn't seem to have a good life. ”

"Let the general laugh, his mother fell ill last year, and his stepmother is the daughter of Haixi Wangtai, who can take care of him?" Jue Chang'an didn't grieve when he talked about this, only helplessness: "In the past, there were all the strong troops in the left guard, and now the right guard in Jianzhou is even more fierce, I have five sons, and they all have many sons, if it wasn't for the general to look for it, the last general forgot that there was a grandson named Nurhachi - but I don't know what the general is looking for him, so what?" ”

"He's got in touch with me."

Chen Mu tilted his head slightly, looked at Jue Chang'an with his eyelids, and said, "I have a better place for him to go than Jianzhou, general, let your grandson follow me." ”
