"General, where are you going to take office?"

No one knew exactly what had happened in Zhaoqing, but everyone in Xiangshan had speculations about it, and they guessed that the governor, who had a lot of appreciation for Chen Qianhu, would be able to select suitable guards for their generals.

Obviously, for their generals, the most suitable guard is Guanghaiwei.

"Where to go to work? Fuck me up! General Zhaoyong, who rode his horse into the guard, stepped down at the door of the station, the mounter stood up, and the dust brought up by the gallop behind him was late, Chen Mu raised his whip and shouted: "Convene more than 100 households of guards, and discuss the matter!" ”

Zhang Han admitted it, and he admitted defeat like that.

Such a big thing, from beginning to end, he didn't think about finding Chen Mu to do it, maybe in Zhang Junmen's eyes, although Chen Mu is good at fighting, but arresting Zhou Yunxiang, who fled overseas, is not something that he can do as a guard of thousands of households who have never been out of Lingdingyang.

But General Chen didn't think so.

It was not difficult to be an official or a military attache in Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty.

When he was a small flag general flag, Bai Yuanjie only hoped that he could do a good job as a general flag, so he gave him a big smile, at that time, it was not how high Chen Mu's talent was, it was all set off by his peers, and he was already much stronger than them.

When he was a thousand households in Xiangshan, Zhang Han didn't want him to do more, take good care of Xiangshan, and at most guard Guangzhou Mansion, it was enough, and he never sent him a mission outside the scope of the palace.

When Chen Mu sat down in his Qianhu Yamen again, he recalled Zhang Han's complicated expression at the time of parting, he may have understood it, he didn't bring much comfort to Zhang Han, but more of the sadness in the old military gate's expression - the dignified governor of Liangguang actually ended up relying on a small guard of thousands of households to fight for the throne on his behalf?

"What is this?"

Before the hundreds of households arrived, there were three-grade military attache court uniforms, official uniforms, regular clothes and pearl and jade crown ornaments sent from Guangzhou Mansion on the table in the front hall of the yamen, which were all rewards that should be shared by the imperial court with the promotion of official positions, but there was a new set of armor next to the official uniform, but it was not a reward from the imperial court.

Xie Ming arched his hand and said: "General, this set of congratulatory gifts from General Chen Shen of the Mountain Armor, Xiao Sheng has selected a few foreign strange things from the gift house to give back." ”

Chen Mu is clear, General Chen is not someone else, it is Chen Lan, this Chen Dynasty's merit in pursuing Zeng Yiyi not only eliminated the guilt, but also moved the official position upward, and now he is also General Chen, but perhaps because of the previous unfavorable garrison, he did not get the official title of General Zhaoyong, maybe he will have to wait for his next meritorious service to get the official title.

"Isn't he leading troops out of the sea, how can he send someone to give gifts? Most of them have already been prepared, Mr. Xie, I bother you to prepare a few more gifts, and inquire about the official movements of Bai Jingchen, Zhang Yongshou, Hu Liangpeng and others, as well as these people from our Qianhu Institute, from the general flag to the deputy Qianhu, but all those who have been promoted will send soldiers to send a gift, and they will find it from the gift library. ”

Chen Mu guards the convenience of Haojing, and now that he has money in his hands, he often sends people to Haojing or Guangcheng to buy some rare utensils, precious jade, swords and armor or the four treasures of the study, and collects them in the gift library to prepare for human exchanges.

However, this time, most of the people he knew were promoted because of Pingding, and his gift treasury was probably not enough.

"Five beams with gold and jade, the crown of the court clothes is good, put it away first, and try it when you are free."

He still thought about going to the martial arts test, and in the blink of an eye, General Zhaoyong of the third grade, when the time comes, he won't be able to take the martial arts exam, is it a shame to be ashamed?

didn't let him wait too long, all the hundreds of households in Xiangshan gathered in the Yamen of the Thousand Households, seeing Chen Mu's calm face, no one dared to smile and stand in two factions obediently obeying orders, these people were all people that Chen Mu could trust, he made the matter of Zhaoqing clear, and asked: "Who knows, where did Zhou Yunxiang flee to?" ”

Deng Zilong, who was sitting on the side, arched his hand and said: "Zhou Yunxiang is just an excuse to attack the governor in words, without Zhou Yunxiang, there are other things, who the imperial court wants to send to be the governor, not Guangdong can influence it!" ”

"What Deng Qianhu said is true." Shi Qi Yinghe said: "There are only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, not to mention the vast sea, how can you catch Zhou Yunxiang." ”

Fu Yuan scratched his ears and cheeks and couldn't speak, seeing Chen Mu looking at him, he hurriedly clenched his fists: "General, don't be embarrassed for me, where can a villain explain this kind of big thing, the general said, kill whom!" ”

Lou Qimai and the others also have the same meaning, they are not people who can figure things out on their own at all, they don't have a bunch of big ideas, and they really can't help in this matter.

But Chen Mu was very pleased, raised his finger and pointed at Fu Yuan and said, "That's right, kill someone." There is no need to kill people, with Zhou Yunxiang here, sooner or later the governor will be changed, but at least the old man will suffer less crimes, and he can't blame him for his meritorious work, and when the military gate rises to another place in the future, they will attack them if they love to attack, and now the old man is the chief of my Chen, then it won't work! ”

"Coming to you is to let you make a plan to go into the sea, and take this opportunity to set the routine for the flag army of Xiangshan to patrol the sea."

"From now on, every ten years, a hundred households will lead troops to sail and sail to the open sea, including the three islands of Haojing, Maruxing, and Dazha, and also to train more sailors."

This made many hundred households not understand, but no one dared to ask, but Sun Ao, the deputy thousand households, thought about it, and asked: "General, Zhou Yunxiang can't be on the three islands, Zeng Yiyi died in our hands, where does he dare to come here again?" ”

"Make a show."

Chen Mu glanced at Sun Ao, shook his head and laughed, and then said: "It's not just about making a show, if someone hands Zhou Yunxiang into your hands, at least they must be able to pick it up at sea, we can't rely on ourselves in this matter." ”

"Don't care if the flag army or the battalion soldiers, they haven't really gone to the sea, it's good if you don't get lost at sea, it's strange to catch Zhou Yunxiang."

After sending the flag army to leave, Chen Mu turned around and walked into the house of a thousand households, and there were three people waiting in the mansion for a long time, it was Li Dan, Hua Yu, and Zhuang Gong who had received the news earlier and rushed from Haojing.

"I want to be alone, Zhou Yunxiang, the former Guangdong general, defected in May and fled to the sea, and now I don't know where he fled to, but it is not Malacca in the west, Luzon in the south, and Japan in the east, it is on this sea."

"He won't be alone, there are some battalion soldiers who have rebelled with him, and there are also Japanese who are with him." Chen Mu raised his hand and said: "In three months, I want to see him, and I want every sailor and pirate at sea to know that Chen has offered a bounty to bring Zhou Yunxiang to the sea outside Haojing, and wants money, five hundred taels of silver; If you want a ship, two ships with 400 materials; Whatever they want, Chen can afford it! ”

From this day on, the news spread like wings on the sea.

Haojing Spring merchants, Portuguese merchants, Spanish pirates, Fujian and Guangzhou pirates, in a very fast time, everyone wandering in the South China Sea got a message through different channels, arresting the Ming rebel Zhou Yunxiang and escorting him to the sea of Haojing, which can be exchanged for a reward of five hundred taels of silver!

Power and wealth are good things, and a word can make the lost dog have nothing to hide.
