It is normal for Fu Yuan's team of twenty-three people to have a Jianghu temperament, and it is also normal to have no military temperament, because they are not soldiers themselves.

He said goodbye to Dieniang from Guangzhou Mansion all the way to Beishan, couldn't pull his face to walk with Shao Tingda and others, rode a horse alone, and when he passed through Yangzhou, his hands were itchy for a while, and the money he won from gambling was a little too much, and he was targeted later.

This group of strong men who were lucky enough to make a living in the early years and later idle later voted for Fu Yuan, received military uniforms in Beiyang, and became Fu Guerrilla's personal soldiers.

It is certainly not possible to let these people fight, but the people who are in the quagmire know best how to distinguish what is the life-saving straw that can pull them out of the sea of suffering.

For the Fu guerrillas, who have nothing to do, they are a group of people who have more than enough to do.

There are a lot of empty houses in Majiagang, in order to avoid the long winter, Magui led the department to set up two hundred households near the port like a cat's nest, and Majiagang also has two settlement camps, and Fu Yuan and his party of nearly 500 people can disperse and live in a settlement not far away after carrying goods.

The advantage of Chinese sailing ships over Western-style sailing ships is that they require very few sailors, and a large two-masted ship can be operated by several people, but they carried double sailors on each ship on this voyage to deal with possible problems.

Fu Yuan, who arrived in Majiagang safely, felt that the entire Beiyang Military Government was making a bit of a fuss, obviously frightened by the risks that Magui had encountered before, as long as he knew the way, avoided the most risky winter, and did not go too far north, the two-month voyage could not be called too difficult.

There are indeed some risks, but they do not match the degree of Chen Mu's careful preparation.

If Ma Gui had been so well prepared, he wouldn't have died so many people.

"He's not revenge, he just wants to ask when we'll let them go."

The fireplace in the brick and wooden house was warm, Fu Yuan stretched out his arms and took off the bear hair and hung it on the wall, the Beiyang military boots stepped on the wooden floor with a dull voice, sat on the wooden chair next to Ma Gui and rubbed his hands, and kept warm by the copper smoker.

He turned his head to Ma Gui and said, "This boat of Xiyi soldiers are all vulgar characters who have no knowledge, except for fighting, they know very little things. ”

Ma Gui's foreign language level is very poor, he can only use the daily language of the Ming army compiled by Chen Mu, and their group of Kuwu Island Banner Army can only do this.

And there are only three aspects in it: war, victory, persuasion, and a sentence about a cameo as a pirate when I was a kid - extremely monotonous.

But Fu Yuan's foreign language level is very high, although he can't write, he basically knows what to say.

The enemy had a lot of choice when he was on the ship, and Fu Yuan didn't ask too much, but these Spanish soldiers got off the ship and were taken away from their weapons, so he could ask anything.

The result was very disappointing, Fu Yuan's hand warmed up a little, took the soju and put it in two bowls, and took a sip before saying to Ma Gui: "I can't ask anything if I keep it, how to deal with it?" ”

"By the way, Xiyi already knew that the Ming army had landed in Amerika, and they had discovered the Huangming Banner, so they did not attack north again, and they also had the idea of sending this ship to find us."

Ma Gui listened to Fu Yuan's words and slowly bowed his head, and said, "Then they found it, what do they want to do after they find it?" ”

Fu Yuan shook his head and said: "These Xiyi sailors don't know, their mission is to find the Ming army, in fact, they don't know whether the Ming army came or not, a Xiyi soldier told me that in New Spain, they call this New Spain." ”

"There has always been a saying here that the Turen are the Tang people who have been separated from China, and the Turen who worked for them in Mexico will also say the same, but they all think that this is what they call the Indians to return to their free body in the name of the Tang people."

"Xiyi doesn't believe it at all, there are indeed Tang people in this land, but they can tell who is Tang and who is not."

Needless to say, anyone can tell the difference, looking at clothing, manners, and speech, in fact, even if they say that they have the same blood, they may not be recognized.

Fu Yuan smiled as he said and said, "But don't care how they identify it, Chen Shuai has already made a decision on this matter, and it doesn't matter how they identify it." ”

Ma Gui nodded first, and then said, "What did Chen Shuai say?" ”

"Chen Shuai said that of course they are not Ming people, let alone Tang people - but they can be."

It can be, very domineering, and very reverie.

But Ma Gui agreed, the people he had seen, Mongols, Jurchens, Koreans, and people from the Western Regions, as long as they were willing to serve the emperor, could be Ming.

It doesn't hurt to add an America.

Ma Gui said with a smile: "Chen Shuai is also interesting, he is very keen to let others fight for the imperial court, and the imperial court is not without soldiers, it is almost the same to say that the army of one million is not enough, these veterans pick one out of twenty, and train for half a year, can't they gather an expeditionary force of 50,000 people?" ”

"I really know about this, Second Master Chen didn't think about it, Ma Shuai didn't know, over the years, it doesn't matter whether it is the provincial capital or the Beijing camp and the forbidden army, the north and south martial arts halls are the first choice for transferring lower-level officers."

"The Beiyang Military Mansion built for the expedition to the East has also become the largest training place for the imperial court, which can train 11,200 soldiers of the two guards every year, and this year Shandong, Jingying, and the forbidden army also sent 1,000 soldiers to train there."

"Ma Shuai, don't think that there are few people, this is 10,000 people a year, the second master estimates that when the five-year period expires, he will be able to survive, and those who lack flag officials from all over the country will recruit them away, and Xiaoqi, hundreds or even thousands of households can be competent."

"Five years later, the students who have graduated from the Lecture Hall will all serve as commanders and first-class generals, and at that time, they will be new troops from top to bottom, and they will bring five more years of soldiers, what will become of the military of the imperial court?"

"What will the million-strong army that Ma Shuai said look like then?"

Ma Gui didn't understand, in fact, when Fu Yuan said this, anyone could see that the situation was very good...... But what does this have to do with the question asked by Ma Gui?

But without waiting for Ma Gui to ask, Fu Yuan concluded: "They are all elite!" The army has always been the same, and the soldiers at the bottom do the hardest work, taking money that can only fill their stomachs, alas, in fact, this person's normal feelings are the same all the time. ”

"Chen Shuai can't give too much money to the people below, so let the people below grow their skills, and find a group of people to do the hardest work."

Ma Gui understood at this time, in fact, it was to make the flag army become a flag officer, and the flag officer became a general, and pull another group of people to be the flag army.

This was more than he could consider, he thought about it carefully for a while, and was noncommittal about this matter, and finally shook his head and put aside the topic, and said: "I plan to let someone go back first, discuss with Xiyi to use the Zhuangyuan Bridge as the boundary, and then exchange the clansmen in Zhenguanxi with this boatman back." ”

Zhuangyuan Bridge, Fu Yuan has already figured out where the Zhuangyuan Bridge is, and as the leader of the vanguard baggage fleet, he also brought a map of Asia drawn by Yang Tingxiang when he came back from Spain.

He shook his head and dissuaded: "Ma Shuai should not discuss the boundary with them first, let Chen Shuai come to this matter, I think with the Zhuangyuan Bridge as the boundary, Chen Shuai must feel that he will suffer a loss, a big loss." ”
