Minduluo Island, Nanyang Military Guard.

In the middle of winter, the South Seas are still hot, and there are ships coming from the north.

In the military palace guard, Chen Mu, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Liu Wei who strode into the palace with his head held high and narrowed his eyes, he turned his head to Lou Qimai, who was standing beside him, and asked, "He was the first to attack the city?" ”

Liu Wei is not tall, wearing heavy armor, holding a three-pronged red tassel pocket, his forehead with a hairscarf is covered with a layer of sweat, and his tanned face has a perseverance that does not belong to his age.

"The last general Yunnan garrison Liu Ling, meet the governor of the capital!"

His incomparable feats, sophisticated movements, arrogant demeanor, and even the burly figure of a slightly young general make it easy for people to ignore his age.

At present, the young general who bows down in the hall has the nickname of Liu Dadao in later generations, and his father Liu Xian gallops superbly, but now Liu Wei is estimated to be unable to use the big knife, after all, he is not yet seventeen, and he has been able to climb the city and pull out the village and capture the enemy's head.

"Liu Shuai raised a good son, and General Liu also has a good father."

Chen Mu bowed his head, got up and left his seat to help Liu Wei up, and said: "Chen doesn't like those red tapes, the general sat down and spoke." ”

Liu Xian had been given the title of Commander a long time ago, so although he had not been given, Chen Mu knew very well that the young man in front of him was likely to have received the official position and fortune of the Commander before he could speak.

Liu Wei got up and saluted with his fists in his hands, and saw Chen Mu raise his arm to lead him into the seat, so he stood next to the seat and waited for Chen Mu to sit down behind him, and then hugged his fists and said: "Junior, thank you Chen Shuai for your magnanimity, the letter has been sent from the Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Mansion of the Nanyang Army." ”

"This time I came to thank Chen Shuai for borrowing troops and passing on the two graces of my father, my father said, this kind of gratitude must be faced, but the military affairs are not allowed in person, and I hope that Chen Shuai will forgive his sins, and the younger generations will thank him!"

Liu Wei bowed again, but was stopped by Chen Mu raising his hand, his eyes glanced slightly, this Governor Liu Xian was much more polite this time than when he sent a message to borrow troops, and sent his son to come over and worship again, the reason can actually be understood in the document from the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army half a month ago.

Liu Xian's conquest of Jiusiman can be described as a success, but he planned to sue the old court but did not agree, and sent him to continue to guard Sichuan and Yunnan, with the purpose of directly targeting the three propaganda and six comforts.

Just some time ago, the Portuguese musket captain who was employed by Mang's Dong U informed the Bishop of Macau of his recent military affairs against the Ming Dynasty, and Bishop Carneiro submitted the news of Dong U's intention to mobilize troops against Mu Bang in connection with the Ming and Portuguese alliances.

Chen Mu did a favor, the news sent someone directly to Liu Xian, the Mang family came prepared, Liu Xian took precautions, Chen Mu didn't know what the outcome of the war was, but now Liu Xian sent his son over to thank him - obviously a big gain.

"No need to be polite, General Liu is like this, Liu Shuai is the same, foreign countries want to use troops against me, how can Chen sit idly by, not to mention that the fight is all thanks to Liu Gong, not Chen."

"Liu Shuai is grateful, Chen should go."

Chen Mu agreed with a smile, and then said solemnly: "The previous message from the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army was that the Burmese Propaganda Department had rebelled and isolated itself from worship, and it had been disturbed for decades. ”

"Longchuan Xuanfu Duo Shining is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, in the past he had admonished Mang Yinglong, last year was killed by his sister-in-law Yue Feng, the gold medal seal was taken away, Yue Feng played with power to take the power of Longchuan, killed Duo Shining that is, he surrendered to Mang Yinglong, and was pseudo-subject to Longchuan Xuanfu."

"And Mu Bang and Meng Yangzhu have long existed in name only, even if there are those who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, their loyalty is just not to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty." Chen Mu raised two fingers and tapped the table.

"What Liu Shuai said, advancing by sea and land, entering Myanmar, and regaining the three propaganda and six comforts, Chen thought it was difficult, it was not impossible, but it was of little significance."

Some time ago, Liu Xian passed a letter to the Governor's Office of the Right Army, and the official document was a report, suggesting that the Governor's Office of the Right Army and the Governor's Office of the Nanyang Army jointly send troops to attack the Burma Xuanwei Division by sea and land.

It was not clear in the letter, Chen Mu gathered his staff and asked Portugal for information on the Burmese Propaganda Department, and the final result was not optimistic.

Liu Wei listened to Chen Mu's frustrating words, and his disdainful expression was written on his face, and he sneered: "It is rumored that Chen Shuai's soldiers are strong and strong, and with the power of the right army governor's mansion, are you still worried that you can't win over a small state?" ”

"My soldiers are strong and the ships are strong, but the horse is not strong at all." Chen Mu chuckled, didn't want to reason with Xiao'er, got up and raised his hand to mutter a few times, and said to him: "Come, all go upstairs, the information of the Burmese Propaganda Division, upstairs has been summarized." ”

Chen Mu said and walked towards the stairs behind the screen, followed by the military staff and colonel, Liu Lingke followed the master, and he also wanted to go up to see Chen Mu's ability.

There is no one who is not competitive among the children of Jiangmen, Li Rusong's temper is actually not a special case, like their self-made Lao Tzu has many concerns about civil officials, these children are bullish and powerful to be civil officials, and the only ones who can convince them are the more powerful Jiangmen old-timers.

Obviously, Chen Mu can only be regarded as a pseudo-senior, speaking of which, when Liu Wei was the commander, Chen Mu was still a small flag in Qingyuan.

The wide picture scroll in the staff room on the second floor of the middle hall of the military mansion was opened, Chen Mu opened it with his impression and glanced at it, only to find that it was a newly obtained map of the Indian sea and land, and quickly asked the soldiers to roll it up, and now that there are more maps, his impression is not good.

Carefully distinguishing the inscription on the iron sheet at the end of the rope, he accurately opened the map scroll of the Indochina Peninsula, and pointed to Yunnan in the northeast with a bamboo whip: "Liu Shuai's intentions in the letter are unknown, and Chen guesses that he wants to send troops from the Yunnan Capital Division, from Tengchong to the southwest, Zhenmubang and Mengyang, and contain most of the troops of the Burmese Xuanfu Si Mang. ”

Then he pointed to the mouth of the Indian Ocean in the southwest of the Indochina Peninsula and said: "If Chen is needed in this battle, and it is advancing by sea and land, the Nanyang Military Government will naturally attack the belly and back of Burma with sea ships and capture the foundation of the Mang clan, but Liu Shuai means this?" ”

Xiao Liu Ling's eyes wandered around the staff department, and he froze for a moment on the face of Xu Wei, who was dressed as a scribe and his eyes were confused, and he flattered him insincerely: "Chen Shuai is smart, my father is exactly what I mean." ”

"I know that the imperial court has always called Burma the Xuanwei Division, and the same is true of 800 and other places, ignoring the fact that its land has been under the control of the imperial court for decades, how much information does the imperial court have about the three Xuanwu and six consolations? In fact, there are not as many as the Portuguese, they have mercenaries under the command of the Mang clan in Burma, Siam and other countries, how much does General Liu know about their troops and weapons? ”

Liu Wei blinked in a daze, opened his mouth and was not sure, and said: "It's over if you die, why do you understand this?" ”

"Twenty years ago, Mang Yinglong integrated the land of Burma, and its momentum was great, destroying Ava, Duolana, and cracking Mengmi to the east, and luring many local officials in Longchuan, Ganya, and Nandian to the north, and there were three million people in the place where it was based."

"Eleven years ago, the capture of the capital of Siam, the battle of the puppet king, the dispatch of troops claimed to be 900,000, in fact, it was bragging, but its poor army was nearly 10 out of 1, Chen's staff estimated that its soldiers were around 150,000, half of which were the troops that Liu Shuai would encounter on the way from Tengchong all the way to invade."

"The war in Myanmar has been going on all these years, you can imagine how many fierce veterans there are, but the enemy that can be predicted is not terrible, Liu Shuai is known as a galloping master, and he is the best general in my Ming Dynasty, and he can defeat all enemies."

"But what about those toasts who have long been rebelled against by the reckless dragon? They will be on Liu Shuai's back, just like Chen is on the back of Mangyinglong's belly, the grain road is cut off, what should the army do? If Liu Shuai retreats to Tengchong, the two armies cannot be contacted, and what if Chen leads the army deep into the enemy's territory? ”

Chen Mu pointed his finger at Liu Ling, "It's right to die, but before the commander sends his troops, he should think about what to do if he doesn't die." ”

"In terms of armament, its country has more refined iron and less iron, so there is no armor for non-elite soldiers, but the Portuguese have in-depth contact with it, and the Mang clan can make their own cuirass and bird guns, which are common with our Ming culture, and can cast cannons, although they are all small cannons in the war, they still cannot be ignored."

"The Mang clan relied on a large number of foot soldiers, a small number of gunned soldiers to form infantry, a huge war elephant that could support small artillery and quickly maneuver on the battlefield, and a hired Portuguese musketeer regiment, this is not much."

Chen Mu opened his hands and compared them to a circle in front of his chest, and said: "What we are facing is not just the Burmese Propaganda Division, it is a country with a huge military force, backward and advanced. ”

"The reason why Chen said that this operation is meaningless is...... General Liu, do you know how this country came to be? ”

Chen Mu said that his face was intriguing at this time, he raised his hand to Yunnan, and said: "In the fifth year of Jiajing, Mu Bang and other three Xuanwei Divisions attacked Burma, and they asked the imperial court for help, and the imperial court sent a person from Yongchang Prefect to persuade them. ”

"If you send troops at that time, you won't lose the six comforts."

"Mubang local official Han Ba reported to the imperial court for the attack, Yunnan officials that this blackmail attempt, do not give the inheritance paper, Han Ba was angry and sent troops to block the road, no road Daming's salt can not be transported in, they have no salt, Mang Yinglong, who led the troops to attack, did not fight, sent troops to send him salt, and took Mubang. The people of Yunnan said that this was because the government cherished a piece of paper and lost two thousand miles. ”

Chen Mu spread his hands and smiled weakly: "It's easy to let Chen's soldiers go to war; Invade Burma, although their soldiers have guns, cannons and elephants, it doesn't matter, Chen will defeat them; With Liu Shuai's bravery, even if the Mang clan has 150,000 elite soldiers. ”

"As long as we are not afraid of death or injury, any enemy can be destroyed—but after it is destroyed?"

"The government doesn't treat the people as people, and even the toasts of the people are not regarded as individuals, but they have obviously taught culture to others, and taught people kindness, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith. But you treat others as cattle and don't talk about kindness, so you can get what you want, and the only thing people can give back to you is conquest. ”

"In vain, human and financial resources are wasted, human lives and silver are splashed out like water, and the emperor is far away; It is easy to set up local officials, benevolence and righteousness, and not to attack and defend. ”

"From Malacca to the chicken coop, from Guangdong to Sulu, the warships are being assembled, the flag army is waiting for battle, the good news is spread within March, and the war is ready after March, I only need Liu Shuai to give me a reason."

Chen Mu put down the bamboo whip, spread his hands and said, "Why should I let the flag army die in this kind of battle?" ”
