Chapter 52: The Southerners
The military parade in Longqing really didn't go through Chen Mu's careful consideration, he just simply felt that he couldn't let himself be pulled into the camp of directly confronting Gao Gong by Feng Bao, and would rather make the stall bigger and muddy the water, rather than offend Feng Bao, and simply let the Admiral of Dongchang make a big move.
But he really didn't expect that Longqing Dayue would proceed almost completely according to his ideas, and even the upcoming peace negotiations would be stranded because of this.
At the beginning of October, the reward of the Battle of Juma River took the lead in sending 14,300 taels of silver, and the military department meant to send a part of it first, and then the silver was transported to Beijing and then issued.
General Chen's military exploits were promoted to two levels, and his official rank surpassed that of General Zhaoyi, and he was awarded the highest rank of Zhaowu General of the third rank, which was only one foot away from the second rank, but he took off the official position of the commander of Yanqing Wei, but fortunately, the official position of the commander of Nanyangwei was still retained.
Then, a few days later, Chen Mu was still busy managing the affairs of the Zhuwei Gou Army, and the military department sent a letter again, taking away his official title of deputy chief soldier of Changzhen, but the military department officials also smiled and told him not to think about it, saying that it was the meaning of the department, so that he could wait with peace of mind.
Wait a fart!
Taking away the official title of deputy chief soldier of Changzhen and the commander of Yanqingwei is equivalent to taking away his power to train soldiers in Sanwei, and now in addition to his official position, his status is even inferior to Xu Jue, the commander of the brocade-clothed courtier, he has no power, and the reform of the guard army has directly stalled.
The real power is not as good as Deng Zilong and Hu Daxiong!
Anyway, those two are still staff generals and guerrilla generals.
Chen Mu couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head, didn't he say that he wanted to get a second-grade flying fish suit, why was he taken away from all his official positions except for the commander of Nanyang Wei in a blink of an eye, what does this mean?
Is it to give him a holiday, and say that he can go home if he doesn't need it in the north?
It's not too frustrated, although Chen Mu doesn't know why the above decided like this, but it is also a good thing to go back to Nanyangwei to complete the wedding, his roots are in Nanyangwei, in Nanyang, and he doesn't need him to go back to Guangdong in the north...... Chen Mu has always wanted to move Lin Afeng to clean up the Spaniards occupying Luzon.
"What is this?"
Chen Mu is idle, only five or six hundred banners of military family Ding Tun is stationed in Changping Xiaoxi Camp, although he has lost his authority, but at least these people are under his orders, as soon as he wakes up in the morning, he will take people to the school field to practice, sweating profusely back to the house is about to take a comfortable hot bath, and he saw a large and two small food boxes on the table.
Under the dismantling, it is not strange that the sauce is small and dried fish, but the boiled shrimp, Guangfu soup and even a dish of Qingyuan black-maned roast goose, this is not the flavor that the northland chef can make for him - Chen Mu raised his head and searched around, someone from the family came.
There are not many people who can make the flag army violate the military order and enter his mansion without passing it through, even in Guangdong, let alone in the north.
"Hehe, who is this military master looking for?" Looking at it, there was a sound of eating and laughing from behind the door, Yan Qingyao flashed out from behind the door, and he still looked like a woman dressed as a man, dressed in a green coat and a hat, and mentioned a jar of unopened old red wine, and said with a smile: "But are you looking for this old wine in Guangcheng?" There is only one altar in the whole city of Beijing, and there is no slave Yan's wine! ”
Chen Mu raised his head and wanted to say something, but all the tastes of the past half a year suddenly came to his heart, and he didn't know where to start, so he slowly took out the vermilion and black wine bowl from the food box and put it in front of him, knocked lightly on the table, and said, "Serve the wine!" ”
"Huh! Don't you ask how the slave family came from? Yan Qingyao stepped forward, his body became taller and taller, and he untied the lid and poured out a bowl of clear and low-alcohol wine, but raised his hand to seal the wine bowl and prevent Chen Mu from drinking, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to drink, your soldiers only let the slave family in, and Zhang Baishi is still waiting outside." ”
"Zhang Yanshi? Brother Yongshou? ”
He thought about it, and there were not many people he knew who were surnamed Zhang, and he was just this old immortal, so he hurriedly waved his hand and asked the flag army to order people to come in, but after a while, the flag army ran back and asked in a low voice: "General, more than 500 people are let in?" ”
"More than five hundred?" Chen Mu was a little stunned and asked, "Is it Zhang Yongshou who is the leader, if he is all put into Xiaoxi Camp, what is he doing with so many people." ”
This time the flag army left, it won't be long before there was a loud sound of Zhang Yongshou's big grin, Chen Mu got up to greet him, Zhang Yongshou came with a few familiar faces and hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Second master, don't make these false gifts, it's right to give us a bowl of water to drink, him, this way is really far!" ”
After Zhang Yongshou finished speaking, he didn't let the people who called Chen Mu take care of himself, he walked to the side of the water tank and raised his head to drink, Chen Mu couldn't stop screaming, and Chen Mu took the scoop away by Chen Mu, and complained about it, "When you become General Zhaowu, you are so stingy, you don't even let ...... a little water."
"You're sick, you don't drink the water in the house, why do you drink my bath water!"
As soon as Chen Mu's voice fell, Zhang Yongshou's face was blue and white, and he rushed to the corner of the wall to clasp his throat and vomit, and the surrounding Bai Qi, Yan Qingyao, Long Junxiong and others laughed, Chen Mu also happily watched Zhang Yongshou vomit there, and when he finished spitting up, he said lightly: "The freshly boiled water has not been washed yet, it is clean." ”
After some laughter, everyone entered the room and sat separately, Chen Mu and Zhang Yongshou sat on the top, looking at Zhang Yongshou who was embarrassed by the teasing, Chen Mu smiled and said: "Why did Brother Yongshou come, and he brought five hundred households with him?" You're too big. ”
"You and I are willing to run this trip, I just came to send a few people and something, and Zhang's pomp and circumstance are just two small flags." Zhang Yongshou pursed his lips, he found that Chen Mu's heart was getting worse and worse, raised his hand and pointed at Yan Qingyao on the side, and said: "It's not your Mrs. Ru, she wants to come over, Bai Jingchen also wants to give you a strong voice, you said that you Nanyang Wei family affairs, what is the matter with assigning me to this Qingyuan Wei family?" ”
Chen Mu knew what was going on when he thought about it, it wasn't that Nanyang Wei was too busy and Qingyuan Wei was too idle, this Young Master Zhang was just a casual life, it was impossible to expect him to work hard like Bai Yuanjie or himself, starting from Xiaoqi, although Zhang Yongshou's official position was also the same every year, but every time he mixed up.
There has never been a lot of effort.
"Xiao Qi, it's an old acquaintance, Jingchen's family leader, now it's your person, Jingchen heard that there is a war in the north, I'm afraid that you have too few soldiers to use, so let Zhang send Mrs. Ru to escort the boat over, and find the handbook handed by the governor of Liangguang, the five hundred barbarian camp, which is the family soldier of Chen's commander." Zhang Yongshou shook his head as he spoke: "These people are unloading things, five hundred people brought 1,000 and 2 bird guns, as well as handguns, knives and spears, all of which have been reported to the military department, and they have also brought you 8,000 taels of gold and silver." ”
"Hey, who knows if you didn't catch up, you're done fighting!"
Generous!
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "It seems that Brother Jingchen has maintained Nanyangwei very well, and there is also a relationship with Zhang Junmen." ”
"That's all thanks to you, with your books, Zhang has become a must-have for training soldiers and collecting money in Qingyuan, let alone Jingchen. However, Zhang Laojunmen is no longer in Liangguang, when I came, I just sent the old man to Nanjing to take office, and now he is the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and Lao Bai is the relationship between Yin Zhengmao - these two are your own family, Shao Xing Shao Yong, give us the bow of the ship and let them report to you! ”
