Chapter 33 Landing in Macao

Going from a private school to a seowon is not a simple matter, or you have to be rich enough to be simple.

Because this is not like other academies, those students have the money to do the restraints, most of the banner army of the guard institute does not have such conditions, and Chen Mu runs the school by himself, which costs a lot of money.

But it has to be done.

The idea of running a academy comes from the fact that many schools of science have their own academies, but what Chen Mu wants to run is not the kind of academy that teaches science, but a modified version of the original military science of the Wei Institute.

The Xiangshan Military Academy teaches Confucianism, mathematics, time and place, maritime affairs and military training, and some specialize in craftsman techniques.

It is planned on this land, although there are only a few broken wooden houses on the mountain now, and even Chen Mu's imagination can only let half of the children in the health center study in a short time, but Xiangshan is their cradle, the South China Sea is their playground, and the fortune boat is their teaching aid.

Chen Mu will get stronger and stronger, and Xiangshan Military Academy will also get stronger and stronger, and one day burst out of their glory in this era.

The south port of Phoenix Mountain, facing Haojing Ao, which is far away from the sea, Zhou Xing boarded the fortune boat here, and sailed to the opposite shore with five fast boats and thirty small boats of Xiangshan Thousand Households.

For this landing, two deputy thousand households, seven hundred households, and nearly 700 banner troops were dispatched, and they may face the Yi merchants who are tied up, or they may be a bigger law and order battle than Lao Anshan, with more than 400 sailors or pirates.

Because that's the mirror, the place where the Ming Dynasty turned out.

Huge bald warship birds from the Indian Ocean flew in the sky, and the humid sea breeze was blowing in the air, and the air seemed to be thick with moisture, making people sticky.

Standing on the bow of the Fu ship, Chen Mu held the cannon and looked into the distance, although this was not the first time he had taken a sea boat, the bumps in the hull still made him feel a little uncomfortable. The skills of the flag army as sailors are still a lot worse, and a lucky ship can only show sixty percent of its combat power in their hands, whether it is sailing, steering or cannon.

On the other hand, those small boats can exert the greatest combat power in the hands of the flag army, and the oars boat is the old business of the flag army as a Tan people in the past, just like Bai Yuanjie's barbarian battalion, they grew up on the ship and are the most suitable sailors.

It just takes time.

But what Chen Mu lacks most is time.

In the distance, Haojing looked lush and green, there was no white sand, and the shallow water of the gravel beach had a long ferry trestle, Li Dan explained on the side: "This is a ferry port that communicates with Xiangshan, and the port is on the other side." ”

This is not the endless prosperity of Chen Mu's imagination, the brigade of flag soldiers squeaked across the trestle, and it seemed that every step made the dust on the bridge shake off into the sea, but in fact, this was absolutely impossible, because the bottom of the trestle had already been covered with a piece of green and decayed.

At the end of the tidal flat, along the barely flat loess road to the low mountain range, the gentle slope of the mountain road on both sides of the dense forest grow many branches, the mountain road is paved with the granite abundant in Haojing Ao, and the large stones are paved straight to the far pass.

That is the Ming Dynasty guard in the mirror set up by the gate, since it is no longer able to control outsiders to land on the island, can only control the Ming Dynasty people from here not to land on the island.

Chen Mu couldn't see if there were soldiers guarding the gate, but this was actually not important, because the Australian guards knew that Zhou Xing and Chen Mu were coming, and they had been waiting before the gate for a long time.

There are three officials guarding Macao, who are promoted, prepared for the war, and patrolled, all of whom are subordinate to the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Patrol Channel.

The official position of the deputy envoy of the sea route is sometimes filled by the commissioner, and sometimes by the secretary of the political department, and he has a lot of power in the maritime affairs of a province, but now is the window period of the Guangdong sea channel, because in these years, the deputy envoy of the sea channel is concurrently served by the political envoy himself, a name that the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese cannot bypass - Wang Bai.

It was precisely because the Portuguese bribed Wang Bai that they got the right to dry their goods in Ho Jing O, and then they had to build houses inch by inch, which gradually evolved into what Wu Guifang called 'Macao as his home for 20 years'.

A few years ago, there was an incident where Fanyi wanted to attack Guangzhou Mansion, and after that, Wu Guifang wrote to the imperial court to vigorously rectify the Haojing, and then there was Chen Mu, a thousand households who were promoted to Xiangshan with three first merits and one miraculous merit in the pacification of Li Yayuan's war.

With the orders of the military department and the governor of Liangguang, even if Wang Bai is a political envoy, he can't control him Chen Junye.

The flag army of the seven hundred households was ready to move, Chen Mu did not walk over to meet the three Australian guards, and said to Zhou Xing: "Brother Zhou, please." ”

After Zhou Xing took a few steps, he turned to Li Dan and asked, "Ready?" ”

Li Dan smiled and nodded, narrowed his narrow eyes to look at a few Australian guards, pursed his slightly dry lips, and then said to Chen Mu: "Don't worry, father-in-law, when you pass the gate, the child will go to find Huayu, the Franco-Robot has a discussion square in Haojing, and the father-in-law will be there to answer after an hour, and he can capture Yishang without moving the army!" ”

"Be careful."

Chen Mu told Li Dan a word, and then looked up at the mountain peak fort not far away again, his face was displeased, and then he walked forward.

As he stepped forward, several hundred households behind him waved their order flags, and the seven hundred banner troops began to reorganize and inspect the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands.

As for the twenty soldiers behind Chen Mu, it was even simpler, they only needed to load their ammunition with Guan Gong, and then the five people followed Chen Mu, and the rest were in front of the team.

The long-term training has made these banner troops who have not participated in the war hold back their strength, not to mention the strength of their combat power, at least they are not weaker than any army in the Ming Dynasty in terms of momentum.

It was not only the three guards waiting in front of the gate, but there were also a few Yi people around them, some wearing priestly robes and crosses, and some wearing red shawls over the shiny plate armor.

No matter what they were dressed in, they all showed a look of horror and nervousness when they saw the Ming army behind Chen Mu making a move to check the ordnance, whether it was an elderly warrior or an elderly monk wearing plate armor, they all held the hilt of the sword at their waists, looked at Chen Mu who was walking with vigilance, and shouted at the guarding officer.

This sense of uneasiness is too strong, and the dozen or so entourages brought by the Ming guard are all wearing cloth clothes and holding poles and bamboo spears, and they can't help but stand there weakly, why are the Ming troops who came by boat from the other side are as strong as calves, and the queue stands more neatly than the Portuguese soldiers, and there are no ridiculous things called fire guns, but only iron spearheads, and most of them are wearing iron armor!

And what are those people in their hands, arquebuses!

Ming still has an arquebus that won't blow up?

"Father-in-law, the bearded man who shouted and shouted said that he was just here to inspect Macau, why did they fill the bird with medicine."

With a cynical smile, Li Dan translated the words of several Francois on the other side to Chen Mu word by word, especially focusing on the old samurai who wore plate armor in the middle, and said: "The one who wears the iron armor is a celebrity of the Franco machine man in Haojing, called Pei Leiruo, when he was young, he was a sailor of the younger brother of the governor of Manchu and Manchu, and he killed people along the coast, and they were the ones who fought in the naval battle of Tuen Mun in the imperial court, and everyone else was killed after the defeat, he spent a few years in prison in Fuzhou and stayed in Haojing for more than ten years. ”

"Shh

Chen Mu raised his index finger to his mouth with a smile, and then tilted his head and said, "Let them not be afraid, it doesn't take so many soldiers to kill a few of them." ”

At this time, the three middle-aged men who were dressed most like the guards finally mustered up the courage to step forward and asked, "Your Excellency led the troops to Macao, dare to ask?" ”

Chen Mu clenched his fists and raised his chin slightly.

"Xiangshan Thousand Households, Chen Mu."
