Chapter 142: Youjing
Chen Mu, who returned to Beiyang, was still a little confused in his mind, the little emperor chattered about making an antique salute to the general, which moved Chen Mu, but the position of the secretary of the Youjing Military Department made his mind very complicated.
The imperial court has always only had two capitals, the north and the south, but Chen Mu clearly knew where his 'right capital' was.
in Central America.
No, judging from his official position as an Asian strategist, I am afraid that Asia in the future will refer specifically to Amerika.
"Brother, where is Youjing?"
As soon as Shao Tingda spoke, Deng Zilong, Shi Qi, and Lin Manjue, these old subordinates, all listened with their necks flicked, and of course, Fu Yuan, who defected in vain, were all admirals.
On the other side, Hei Xiao, Hei Yunlong, Jun Song, Du Tong and others are army generals from Beiyang.
They are not as casual as the navy, one by one staring at the big eyes full of curiosity, sitting upright, pretending to be serious people, in fact, before Shao Tingda and the others came, they were also like that.
Chen Mu didn't tell others what the emperor said about the seal letter engraved for him, after all, it has not come true, this voyage is much farther than in the past, and the time is much longer, and everything is variable.
The courtesy given by the emperor is for Chen Mu to listen to and forget it in his heart.
No matter what the future situation is, the emperor tried his best to worship him as a general according to the ancient rites, at least at that moment in the ear room of the Qianqing Palace, the young Xiao Wanli sincerely granted him all the powers.
"I don't know where it is, do you? I know. ”
Chen Mu spread out the map on the long table in the command room of the Beiyang Military Government, and after the information brought back by Yang Tingxiang when he returned from Spain and the coastal information recorded by him, this map of the world in the fifth year of Wanli is more complete, at least in the shape of the continent, it is very close to the world map of another era.
Chen Mutan pointed his finger in the middle of America, and said: "America, it will be called Asia in the future, Youjing is in the middle of Asia, I don't know where it is, it's in this place." ”
Chen Mu raised his hand and drew a large circle in the middle of America, and said: "Around here, where is it suitable to establish a big city, where is it suitable to communicate the east and west coasts of the mainland, where is the right direct subordinate of the Ming Empire." ”
"As for hearing about Assia from the Yi people in the future, it is the territory of the Ottomans."
Chen Mu has always thought that Asia refers to Asia specifically, but in fact it is not, this comes from the ancient Phoenicians, like the left and right, east and west, with the Aegean Sea as the boundary, the west is called the sunset, the east is called the sunrise, and the sunrise is Asia.
Chen Mu's subordinates knew less than him, and Deng Zilong tilted his head and said, "What Axia?" ”
Seeing Chen Mu waving his hand, he asked again: "Is it the marshal who asked His Majesty to set up a right Zhili?" ”
In the end, in the end, it is the only official in the Beiyang Navy and Army other than Chen Mu who can be called a commander, where is he now white, sitting among the generals, Deng Zilong also has more right to speak.
"It's not me, it's the emperor who wants to set it up." Chen Mu shook his head and explained: "When His Majesty was thirteen years old, he colored the map of the world presented by the Nanyang Military Mansion in the Qianqing Palace, and distinguished their territory and geographical advantages according to the color, and at the same time he also copied and painted a picture. ”
"I've seen that map, there is only one country in the Ming Dynasty, the world is divided into seven capitals and eighty-two provinces, and the map at that time didn't know much about Asia, and the map was not accurate, only a large piece of Mexico to the south."
"Youjing is in that place, sitting on Youzhili and controlling the continent."
Everyone smiled when they heard this, but the generals of the navy and army were not familiar with each other for the time being, only Juniper was familiar with both sides, and he spoke more freely, and said: "The emperor was still young at that time, and he was really ambitious in seven capitals and eighty-two provinces!" ”
Ambition is good, but in fact, the implication is that it is a fool's dream.
It took them many years of effort to regain control of the South Seas with the help of their ancestors' blessings, and the West only set up three prefectures, and the Oriental Fleet was prepared for two years without fully setting sail.
Everyone here has an understanding of the general trend of the world, not to mention how difficult it is to conquer one place, just judging from the careful preparations of Chen Muyu Dongyang Military Mansion in the past two years, we know how difficult it is for them to do such things as logistics and intelligence conditions.
Seven capitals and eighty-two provinces...... Are you kidding?
Shao Tingda, who grinned loudly, said well: "I am extremely poor all my life, and I am afraid that I can fulfill fifty percent of the emperor's thoughts." ”
Over there, Hei Yunlong picked up and said, "Uncle Sixteen, you can't say that. ”
"Now the imperial court holds two capitals and thirteen provinces, and Nanyang has three other provinces, and there are two more provinces to be feuded by the vassal king, and there is already one province in the West, and the emperor has set up the right capital for the second uncle's Dongyang, and eight more provinces have been set out in Asia, which is three capitals and twenty-seven provinces!"
"If you want me to say, fifty percent of the emperor's wish is achieved, well, ten years, ten years can be expected!"
Hei Yunlong opened his mouth, Hei Xiao frowned there, and then simply turned his head to the left without looking at him...... Damn, there's another uncle!
Hei Xiao was full of tears on his face, waiting for Hei Yunlong to speak, turned his head and gritted his teeth with hatred of iron and steel, raised his two fingers and said to Hei Yunlong: "How good should it be for Lao Tzu to meet you later?" Meet Chen Shuai first and you will be your uncle! ”
"In the future, when I have a son, I will name him Black Cloud Dragon!"
Hei Yunlong was not only angry when he heard Hei Xiao's words, but slapped his legs and laughed, "You can pull it down, you captive barbarian, let the captives be arrested for more than ten years, and now the mother-in-law can't ask for it, and I still want to have a son, see what you will do!" ”
The Mongols of this era were called Tatars or Tatars for most of the time south of the Great Wall, and for hundreds of years, they also referred to the northern nomads, which was a derogatory term.
Wangwen Shengyi, perhaps pinning on a beautiful yearning, captive means captive, as if calling people this, it will be easier to capture on the battlefield.
Chen Mu, who was sitting at the top, didn't speak, and watched the two of them make trouble with his hands on his knees, which was not a military discussion at the moment, but he was coming back from the Beijing division and the generals gathered together to greet him, and it was not rude to frolic.
What's more, Lu Shi and Shui Shi are not familiar enough with each other, except for Hei Yunlong, Shao Tingda and others who have drunk, everyone else is embarrassed to speak, so it is just right for these two living treasures to make trouble.
The best relationship among all of them is Hei Xiao and Hei Yunlong, so he is not worried that their jokes will hurt their feelings.
He had to consider how to distribute the ships as they got along.
Hei Xiao was blinded when he heard that he was scolded by Hei Yunlong as a 'captive barbarian'...... He is a Han Chinese, and the ancestor of the Black Cloud Dragon is a native of Jianzhou, and he also ridiculed himself for not being able to get a wife, so he couldn't help but shoot back: "Bah! You, a Jianzhou Tartar, actually said that Lao Tzu is a barbarian! Everyone and I have been righteous, and besides, how to be taken captive and enslaved, Hei will make the exploits of Master Ma Tai of Xuanfu in the future! ”
"Okay, okay, you're the Black Master! What about Jianzhou, my ancestor was the commander of Guangningwei, and you still want to name my nephew Heiyunlong? Let me tell you, when I get to Asia, I will make a mountain called Little Black Mountain to commemorate you, right, second uncle! Little Montenegro! ”
In the last sentence, Heiyunlong turned his head to Chen Mu and said, and the second uncle made him stunned for a moment before he reacted to call him.
Heiyunlong is really running the train with his mouth full, and no one in the entire Beiyang takes his relatives seriously, it is an ethical and moral mouth, but if one person takes it seriously, half of Beiyang's generation will not be able to figure it out.
"Get a small black mountain, get a second black mountain, and then find a small second black mountain, it's all your black family."
Chen Mu pointed to the two of them with a helpless expression, and said, "When you get on the boat, you two are separated, don't be in the same fleet." ”
