Chen Mu, who returned to the Nanyang Military Mansion, kept thinking, why did Yu Dayou call the Lizhu ship the Lilou ship many times when he was parting?

"Gao Gong, Lizhu and Lilou, is it so easy to mishear?"

Chen Mu was a little worried, and decided to go back and send a doctor to Yu Dayou, when people are old, they will have symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, weakness, and memory errors.

Thinking about this, Chen Mu looked at Gao Gong with some suspicion, this old man is also old.

Gao Gong has been busy for several days, and the entire Nanyang Military Government is preparing for Magui's upcoming expedition across the strait to the Amerika, and in order to prevent all kinds of situations that will arise, whether it is disease, war, or sea risks, it must be calculated clearly.

"Lizhu and Lilou? How will you hear it wrong, this is a person. ”

Gao Gong raised his head in surprise, put down the wolf pen, turned his eyes from the right side of his eye to the corner of his left eye, and then turned up at Chen Mu and asked, "Little Shuai, is this a joke again?" ”

"Alone?"

Chen Mu's face was a little stiff, licked his lips, and asked, "Lizhu is not an ancient divine beast?" ”

"What a divine beast, that's a person, the Yellow Emperor lost the Xuanzhu, let Li Zhu find it, his eyes have the ability to see every step clearly, and find the Xuanzhu for the Yellow Emperor." Gao Gong rolled up his sleeves and said: "Zhuang Zhou of the Zhou Dynasty called Lizhu Lilou, so this person has two names, what his name is today is unknown, but when people mention these two names, they know that it is him." ”

"I see, the younger generation has been taught." Chen Mu nodded and said with a smile: "I must read more in the future." ”

"Chen Shuai doesn't have to study, if you want to study, you also need to be free, now that you are a very popular minister, it is better to wait for you to have descendants, let him study more, if the old man is there, it will not hurt to accept a disciple." Gao Gong said with a slight pout, "I will never teach him to be like his father who does not learn and does not know how to do it." ”

Chen Mu pursed his lips, knowing that it was just a joke whether he was a handsome man or unlearned, he knew in his heart that the Minister of Gu Ming would inevitably have a sense of secret investment in Nanyang.

It's a good situation to be able to make a few innocuous jokes with a sharp tongue.

After laughing, Gao Gong asked, "Why did Chen Shuai suddenly mention this?" ”

"Gao Gong will know in two months, Nanyang Wei has built a big sky lantern, which can release people to the sky, supplemented by telegrams, which can let people know the situation twenty or thirty miles away, whether it is on sea or land, interspersed with encirclement, gathering troops to break through, and these tactics will be easier in the future."

Gao Gong raised his eyebrows, he didn't pay attention to the matter of carrying people to the sky lantern, he knew that Chen Mu was always doing this kind of thing, and he was cautious enough, he wouldn't use it if he didn't take it easy, he just squinted his eyes and asked, "Chen Shuai wants to let Tanamellika's Magui fleet use this?" ”

Chen Mu nodded and said: "Yes, the sea voyage is far away, and the slightest mistake is thousands of miles, and we don't have an accurate nautical chart to sail to America, once we get lost, it will be an unbearable loss." ”

"Westerners regard outlaws as explorers, and they all use small boats to fight the wind and waves with courage. Our flag officers have such courage, I can make them fight for their lives, they will, but I can't. ”

The corners of Chen Mu's mouth turned up, and he said with a satisfied look: "There is a court that has poured the power of the country to raise the three treasures to go to the South Seas, and Chen Mou also wants to use his talents to help Ma Gui succeed." ”

He knew what it meant to not see the land at sea, even if it was just from Chicken Coop Island to Luzon Island, a sea route that could not be more familiar to the Nanyang Flag Army, and the sailors on board would still feel irritable and suspicious in the last few days of approaching the land.

As for the lack of hope for a long time, what kind of despair the sea can bring to people, Mr. Lin knows best.

Gao Gong sighed deeply from his throat, Chen Mu is good anywhere, except that sometimes he is like a reckless man who has never read a book, and it is also very awkward to think of what to say.

Shouldn't ordinary people keep this kind of concern in their hearts and not say it?

"So Chen Shuai named the big sky lantern Lizhu, and others called it Lilou?"

Chen Mu nodded, patted the chair in the high-arched study and sat down, and said: "It's not much different from what Gao Gong said, it's a boat, I named the big ship with sky lanterns Lizhu, which is equivalent to the level of a ship, like the Red Sea; It's not anyone else, it's Yu Shuai, he said that he left Lou as soon as he mentioned this. ”

Hearing Chen Mu say this, Gao Gong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Mugao, and asked seriously: "Where did Chen Shuai hear this name?" ”

Gao Gong didn't believe it, Chen Muneng had this depth, and casually took out the names of ancient characters in ancient books thousands of years ago, and he didn't even know whether the owner of the name was a man or a beast.

Chen Mu turned his head to look out the window, Lifu and the Banner Army in the distance of the island were building a new Nanyang Military Mansion, so he wouldn't tell Gao Gong that he was listening to Xu Wei, and the Juyong on his face was silent when he lied, and said, "There are occasional gains in the next." ”

"After all, Yu Shuai is serious, he is mentioning Chen Shuai, and it is better to not have Zhu in his name."

Chen Mu frowned, thought for a while, and whispered, "Committed a taboo? ”

"That's not true, the taboos of the dynasty are all written in the Ming Law, Taizu is generous, and he does not shy away from it. After that, the second word of the emperor's name was avoided, and only Emperor Chengzu avoided the single word. Gao Gong shook his head and said: "There is no evasion of the near sound, since Emperor Taizu, the only way to avoid pigs is because of the Wuzong subordinate, Emperor Taizu also wrote a couplet to kill pigs, so that both hands split the road of life and death, and cut off the root of right and wrong with a knife." ”

"If you want to avoid this, you have to use Zhu Pi to kill the pig and swallow cinnabar to commit suicide."

"But Yu Shuai is not wrong, he is a war general who humiliates and degrades seven times, and goes to prison, and it is normal to be more cautious than Chen Shuai." Gao Gong shook his head slowly, and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been convicted for their words, most of them are disasters to the pond fish, if you really want to do it, you must Chen Shuai give the warship what name, and what about your private gathering of armored soldiers?" ”

Don't really say it, if others say this, Chen Mu smiled, Gao Gong has been the first assistant in the cabinet for a long time, and the momentum when he said this was very different, and it made his heart beat twice.

Next, before Gao Gong could react, Chen Mu had already pulled the pen and ink on the table, waved more than ten words, strode to the door, and patted the guards with him: "Load the letter into the post and send it to Guangdong to command Bai Jingchen." ”

Gao Gong watched Chen Mu sit back on the chair again, without blinking his eyes, and said with emotion: "Chen Shuai is in a hurry, he doesn't need to pretend to be a letter, he hasn't had a friendship for ten years, who can understand?" ”

"It's okay, Brother Jingchen can understand eight points."

"Chang Ji hasn't come back from Jingshi, I miss him very much." Chen Mu shook his head, and then said to Gao Gong: "Don't talk about this, think about the days, the Kuwu Island Banner Army should have finished planting human pox, and the preparations are almost the same, and as soon as the boat arrives, they can set off." ”

"Lookout?"

Chen Mu smiled slyly and sat well-behaved, "Yes, it's a boat, with a sky lantern, it's called a boat." ”
