Chen Mu of the Sulu Islands didn't want to fight, so he naturally had his considerations.

He didn't come out to fight, even if he was a martial artist in the past, a martial artist sees things simply and purely, and he can't do without war.

War has spoils, war is opportunity, the most important point is that the warriors do not bear the logistics, and the food, grass, baggage, and rewards for war exploits are all done by the civil servants, in other words, someone wipes the buttocks.

But this is not the case with the Nanyang Yamen, he not only has to wipe his buttocks himself, but also sends gold and silver to the imperial court.

When people's goals are too clear, everyone knows it's right, everyone knows what you're going to do next, then you can't do it.

Because it may be easier to achieve your goals, but it will be very hard to survive, and when you are in power and have money in your hands, who doesn't want to kill you?

This makes Chen Mu still have to find someone to wipe his ass, who to find?

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, only they have the qualifications to live for themselves, but this is actually very difficult, because the power of the Nanyang Yamen is too great.

Zhang Juzheng never said what he would do in this matter, but he did everything he could; Gao Gong never said what he could do, he only wrote to tell Chen Mu what you can't do - Gao Gong said that Chen Mu can't have big casualties, or that he can't make a big mess in Nanyang.

This is to draw a line for him, not to be killed or wounded, a correct nonsense.

"It is not about conquering, it is about exerting influence; It is not to profit from war, but to deter through military strength, to profit from trade, and to protect the Celestial Empire. ”

Bai Yuanjie held his face and drank a glass of wine, and the old subordinates and now the junior chief talked loudly, making him pout: "Chen Shuai is a fan of money, to put it bluntly, it costs money to fight, and if you spend money, you can't send it to the court, it's the same as the real thing." ”

Deng Zilong raised his head and laughed, Chen Mu smiled: "Brother, if you don't understand it like this, it's okay, anyway, the result is the same, I don't want to be dragged down by the war, there are many villains on the island in that place, and there are soldiers all over the sixty-six countries, if you want to say that the generals on the battlefield are probably not worthy, but knowing that the soldiers are everywhere, it is difficult to fight hard." ”

"If it doesn't come down, it will make people recognize the gap and be brave and brave, but it is not beautiful."

Chen Mu just wants to make a fortune in a muffled voice, like Sulu and Huni, it's very good, he doesn't have to contribute, he reaches an alliance and trains six guards locally, once the situation changes, at least half of them can be transferred to form a fifteen thousand subordinate legions, and they will be transported immediately from Malacca to Japan within three months, which is not much more comfortable than fighting a war to make his soldiers suffer heavy casualties?

Deng Zilong looked at Chen Mu with some suspicion, and wondered: "General Wang's stubborn temper, do you treat him as a place of exile?" Send him over well, can the country still have a good son? ”

"Penal colony? You'll have to get through the fight. ”

Chen Mu sighed, exile has to go to Australia, what to do in Japan. He said: "Japan is dangerous here, you see the Japanese soldiers under Junxiong's hands, they are polite to everyone, bow and kneel, but their personalities are very strange, they have learned etiquette and have a deep influence, but there is no introspection, they don't know how to be cautious and independent, because of the view of outsiders, so the appearance is different." ”

"Hachiro probably can't cope with it, none of us can cope with it, so I transferred the king to the general, and I didn't mean anything else, just to send a knife to Xiaoba. Xiaoba listens to me, he won't start a war without permission, and if he does, it must be that he is helpless.

"If you can't fight, you won't fight, it's good to knock on the bone and suck the marrow so that others can work hard; Once the war starts, it doesn't matter why the war starts, it is important to win - if you want to win, you must have Wang Rulong, otherwise thousands of troops may not be able to support reinforcements to cross the sea. ”

Knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, Bai Yuanjie gave Chen Mu a thumbs up in her heart, and Chen Papi's summary of himself was quite in place.

Don't talk about Sulu from afar, the armament of the six guards almost brought back all the good pearls collected by the three kings of Sulu for several generations back to Nanyangwei, and his words are quite reasonable: the three guards army must buy the armament of the six guards, of course, it does not mean that the armor is broken, the weapon is broken and cannot be sent to the Ming Dynasty to repair, and the weapon damage Chen will be repaired within three years, but after all, the road is far away.

There is a replacement for the purchase, the weapon must be broken in the war, the war is in January and February, and the weapon is repaired in April and May, and there is no time for Sulu to get it bad.

It is said that the three kings of Sulu kicked in their hearts, gritted their teeth and signed out six guard orders, Chen Muyi happily waved three eighteen-pound heavy cannons from others, and placed them on the coastal fort to look really majestic.

This cannon is not cheap, Deng Zilong thought that Chen Erye, who was looking for him to raise three fingers and shout out five taels of small flag arrows, had changed his character, and he rubbed his hands and smiled in a blink of an eye: "After a few years of cannon shells, you have to buy it from us again, he can't smelt iron." ”

Iron smelting is not a high-end technology in Daming, but during this period the whole world is a high-end technology, except for Daming, most countries take another branch, making blocks of iron instead of frying steel and other methods.

Block iron smelting was like the Japanese knife and the European method of hammering the franc machine, and China did the same before the metallurgical technology of mass production of iron such as steel filling and frying, such as the Han Dynasty and the pre-Han Dynasty.

"This year, there are things on the Nanyang Yamen, and the pearls are divided into three routes, all the way north to be bought and sold by the people of Zhang Puzhou; One route is Mr. Yan looking for a way to sell in the south; The last way was sold by Huang Cheng to the Portuguese. Bai Yuanjie shook his head and said, "It's been three years since it was opened, and the market price of pearls will be about 20% lower by you." ”

Chen Mu squinted his eyes and clenched his fists, his face was full of pride, and said, "Ashamed, ashamed!" ”

There is no doubt that the guns and armor that can arm 30,000 soldiers, in Sulu, a place where the price of pearls is ten or even dozens of times lower than that of the Ming Dynasty, what is the concept of exchanging pearls, gemstones, and tortoiseshells?

That's the concept of not wanting money.

Rao is the largest market in the world in the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Mu didn't think that this batch of pearls could be eaten, so let Zhang Siwei's clan businessmen and Yan Qing not be in a hurry to sell, even if they pressed it on their hands for two or three years, it was not a problem.

As long as Huang Cheng can sell it well in Portugal, that is the real place to exchange gold and silver, they will go bankrupt to buy this batch of pearls and sell them to the other side of the world, even the Spaniards will like this batch of pearls and gems very much, and in the end, the Spaniards will have to pay, Chen Mu will still get the American silver he wants.

"The miners of Banzhou have almost explored the mines of Luzon and Mindoro, and the gold and copper mines, ebony sandalwood, the amount of ore is quite huge." Bai Yuanjie saw Chen Mu's villain's appearance and decided to add more fire, and said: "Report to the cabinet next year, and the guilds in the court will laugh off their old teeth." ”

Bai Yuanjie said and asked, "What about Zhaolong, when you go to Nanyang to have fun, you don't plan to let him go back?" ”

"What are you going back to, Qingluan came over a while ago, Zhaolong's kid came out of the wilderness, saying that there is Yinglong in the family to inherit the Xuanwei Division, and he wants to make contributions to me, pestering his sister to go to Xinming, I have promised him."

Chen Muzhen didn't expect that he sent the first real colonial team, which was actually his brother-in-law, he spread his hands and said: "If he wants to go, he can go, I will write to Ying Long and ask him to send some more people to find mines for me over there." ”
