The vast Changsheng Bay is showing a magnificent scene that is rare in the world.

Countless warships and merchant ships docked in the bay were nothing, ships were moored in patches at sea, and ships lined up endlessly in the distance, except for some dangerous areas with reefs, and even the lookouts on the port watchtowers could not see the end.

There are countless small paddle boats on the sea, constantly transporting and loading all kinds of supplies, and when it is time to cook, those ships will waft a dazzling smoke from the cooking stove.

"Forty-six warships of all sizes and two hundred and seventy-three civilian ships were berthed in Changsheng Harbor; Twenty-two warships and seventy-three civilian ships were parked in the bay. ”

Zou Yuanbiao was sweating profusely, like Fei Laoer, his forehead was also an indescribable pain, so he didn't even want to use the net hair scarf, the black thick cloth hair towel hid the biggest secret in his heart, and said to Chen Mu at the door of the port office: "The boat below 200 materials is not counted, and the prince of Ailan does not dare to train the army, for fear of startling the battleship with artillery." ”

Chen Mu held a thick stack of reports sent by the third issue of Beiyang in his hand, watched the people from the shore hand over the official documents to his soldiers, squinted his eyes and muttered, obviously his mind was not here, and said casually: "There is something to disturb the fleet on the sea of my own house." ”

He was looking at the people who came down from the fleet, and the walking posture of the leader was a little familiar, and when he got closer, he laughed out loud, and walked quickly - the leader was Bai Yuanjie.

Looking behind him is followed by Zhang Yongshou, the two of them are surrounded by several officers of the third phase of Beiyang, then Hai Rui, an old man with a high head and extraordinary temperament, and then behind is the emperor's confidant Zhang Whale leading the eunuchs and several Han generals in armor.

It's all acquaintances, and the lineup is grand.

Zou Yuanbiao was also happy when he saw Zhang Whale, thinking that he had bribed Zhang Whale back then, and thought that after impeaching Zhang Juzheng, he could save him from a violent beating.

"Your Majesty sent your brother?"

Bai Yuanjie smiled and led a group of officers to stand at a distance, but his hand waved lightly around his waist and then pointed at Zhang Whale, and he was silent.

Chen Mu saw that Zhang Whale was holding the edict in his hand.

Zhang Whale has followed Lin Afeng to make waves on the sea, but he has seen the eunuchs of the world, not to mention that he met Chen Mu in his early years, and he first arched his hand and shook the edict, and said: "Lord Jinghai is ready to accept the edict, Your Majesty has an edict." ”

With the edict in front, Chen Mu naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Not to mention, I haven't seen the little emperor for several years, and I really miss it.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict...... The emperor said. Zhang Whale's expression when he read out the will suddenly became weird, he looked a little like laughing but he had to hold it back very hard, and then said a sentence that was not at all like the meaning of the reading, and his posture made people know that these words were not what he said: "After several years of fighting, Chen Qing is not as smart and wise, modest and studious as me, and has no time to improve his knowledge, old rules." ”

Your Majesty.

The Ming Empire raised his hand to wipe his face in front of the public, sighed softly, and then continued to give up.

Where is there such an emperor who does not boast of his subordinates in the edict, but actually praises himself?

Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help laughing, and ...... Bai Yuanjie is very envious, this is not an edict, this is more like a private message.

"I have practiced the Four Guards Banner Army at home, and I have not experienced any war, so I will borrow your two guards to drive, and I will send them back in two years, so that I can use them greatly. Your exploits are known to the world, and I plan to reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, but Huo De Xingjun has changed and changed again, and the family needs to spend money, so I won't reward you. ”

"I haven't seen you in the past two years, I miss it very much, Songjiang Kaifu is ready, and the goods you want will be sent to you, as well as new warships and new weapons, all sent to you."

Zhang Whale paused as he spoke, closed the holy decree and said, "The emperor's grandfather said that he would have to wait for the lord to thank the emperor for a reward of ten thousand taels of silver before continuing to read." ”

Yes, the little emperor is now developing more and more towards Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, and the holy decree is okay in the vernacular, and even I don't need it.

But what's the deal with this silver bounty?

I'm going to reward it, but because of what I can't change, I won't reward it, and I have to thank you if I don't reward it?

There is only so much that His Majesty misses Chen?

Someone was already laughing.

There was no way, Chen Mu thanked him first, and then asked Zhang Whale: "Then what did Huo De Xingjun change, what is it?" ”

"Back to the lord's words, Huo De Xingjun is the mount of the emperor's grandfather, which was originally enough for the emperor to walk in the palace, but now that the palace maid is pregnant, His Majesty can't walk if he wants to take the palace maid to ride together, so he asked the Ministry of Engineering to transform the mount and increase its strength."

Zou Yuanbiao, who greeted the officials, whispered to the officials on the left and right: "Hey, God, the Ministry of Industry can still compete with horses!" ”

Chen Mu glanced back at him, understood in his heart, and asked Zhang Whale, "Steam car?" ”

"Yes, the steam car, named Huode Xingjun, goes slowly but smoothly...... Don't worry, sir, let's stay in Changsheng for a few months, there is time to talk about domestic affairs later, let's finish the process that His Majesty wants the villain to do, what do you say? ”

Chen Mu wanted to finish the process as soon as possible, he could feel that the little emperor was too lonely in the Forbidden City, maybe no one could communicate with him like a normal person after he left, and he had to send an edict to toss and toss himself after crossing the ocean for 20,000 miles.

But he still underestimated how naughty the soon-to-be-grown emperor was, and Zhang Whale's next words frightened him into his heart.

"Thank you, huh? You have made great contributions to the opening up of the territory of the country, and I wanted to give you some reward, but the money was spent, and the household department did not give it; I want to promote you to the title of marquis, but the cabinet does not agree, so it will not be sealed, I heard that Mr. Ziwen is strongly opposed, if you are not happy, I will give you an order to allow you to enter the cabinet to quarrel. ”

In fact, Chen Mu was a little happy to hear this, Zhang Han was the second assistant of the cabinet.

As for quarreling or something, it's impossible, if you don't seal the marquis, you won't be the marquis, besides, he feels that he and Zhang Han have similar ideas, even if he wants to be a marquis, he wants to be a marquis when he is in China, and it is not necessarily a good thing for people to be marquises overseas.

"But I must reward and punish you for making great contributions, I see that your garden in Nanyang Weigang is very well repaired, so I demolished it, anyway, there is nothing in it for a long time, and it is not interesting to keep it, and your house outside the Donghua Gate, I bought it and didn't give it to you to live in."

Chen Mu: ???

What do you mean there's been nothing in there for a long time? It was obviously a few years ago that you sent someone to sneak things up and take them to the door of your bedroom without saying a word, and even took away my out-of-print bird gun that was 46 years old in Jiajing!

I'm in a house the size of Nanyang Weigang, huh?

Chen Mu looked at Bai Yuanjie, the house was built by Bai Yuanjie, it was a wild land at that time, it coincided with the repair of Nanyang Weigang, counting the courtyard of more than seven acres, the emperor thought it was very good, so he demolished it?

Is there a logical relationship to this?

And you bought back the Beijing house that was given in the past, and I will buy these two houses!

Is this still a great reward?

If you don't teach strictly, how did Zhang Juzheng teach the emperor!

Bai Yuanjie was not in a hurry at all, and looked like she was waiting to see Chen Mu's jokes.

"I have also demolished the Tiger City in Jingshi, there are no tigers in it anyway, move your garden in Nanyang Weigang, as it is, every brick and tile is right, and the decoration will be placed in the shape of the military room, so that you can get closer to me in the future." But I won't give it back to you, so I asked the Ministry of Industry to make a new set, exactly the same, like the old one. ”

"The title will not be promoted, and you will be rewarded with a thousand stones. Zhang Whale said a lot, he should be tired. Zhang Whale didn't feel weird at all when he said this, and saw the humanoid one-way chat software slowly put away the holy decree and said, "There are two more letters, I will talk to you another day, thank you." ”
