Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Goose Dog

The envoy of the Viceroy of Portuguese India actually came before Don Juan, but the Viceroy's cronies were very dissatisfied with everything in Macao, and had no ability to change the status quo, not to mention that he had an even more sad treaty in his hand.

So he got angry, so he simply asked Huang Cheng, the person in charge of Chen Mu's Haojing, to find him a place to live, and he didn't go out for half a month with his big Dane dog.

Only after hearing the news that Chen Mu had come over, did he let the mission get ready to go, and at the same time clenched his fists to cheer himself up, he must not be intimidated by this vicious butcher, he wanted to go to Beijing with a letter to meet the emperor!

In the letters conveyed by the Jesuits to the new Governor of India, it is almost a rule that other Ming people are more reasonable and kinder than Chen Mu.

The farmer is kinder than Chen Mu, and the officials are kinder than the farmers, and it is obvious that their emperor should be more kind than the officials, so ...... It can also be concluded that Emperor Daming is more than 18,000 times kinder than Chen Mu!

However, Chen Mu didn't care about him when he first arrived in Haojing, Lou Qimai, who was sent last year because Liu Xian borrowed troops to recruit Jiusiman, came back, and I heard that in the placement of prisoners, Sichuan was very re-enlightened under Yang Yinglong's suggestion, and he could send some people to his brother-in-law when he turned around.

Chen Mu went to Guangzhou Mansion to pick up Lou Qimai and wash the dust, and then returned to Haojing, and by the way, he brought two geese over to slip around.

Heiwa was in estrus some time ago, this young man from Mongolia is energetic, although he is short, he is full of energy, and he has lost a lot of weight, Chen Mu can't bear to ride, so he puts it in the newly opened horse farm in Qiongzhou Mansion to raise it well.

The horse has a long estrus period, but it is too lazy to have an arching temperament when it is hot.

The white-bellied white girl didn't go, she rested in the stable in the royal city of Manila, there were grooms who didn't run away after Spain was defeated in the past, and the grooms from the military government learned how to raise Andalusian horses with them, and they didn't dare to let them go anywhere else, for fear of raising these good horses to death.

There are four mares in Andalusian Mali, which were previously rewarded to his subordinates, and the stallions have all been gelding, so they can only find Mongolian horses to breed with them, but fortunately, Chen Mu got a batch of ungelding horses from Altana in the north in the past, and his subordinates usually ride on a substitute foot, and they all happened to be made to breed now.

At the beginning of this year, while Chen Mu sent Zhao Shizhen to Beijing, he also asked him to convey to the Ministry of War that he hoped to transfer a batch of war horses, and wanted to send them to Xinming to build a horse farm by ship.

Although the horse farm in Qiongzhou Mansion has been established, the topography and environment there limit the size of the horse farm, and Yang Zhaolong told his brother-in-law in a letter that there is a better choice.

In the process of training wild dogs, trading with natives, and teaching them to speak Chinese, Yang Zhaolong discovered the grassland, and although Mongolian horses may not be suitable for living there, many places are always good, not to mention that Yang Zhaolong does need horses.

In the recent letters, Yang Zhaolong's life over there is on the right track, he is happy to open up in Xinming, and hopes that Chen Mu will have time to take a look and send him more people, he wants anything, as long as it is a person.

He said that he had reorganized several nomadic tribes that relied on two legs, and the people under his rule had as many as 2,700 people, five villages under his jurisdiction, irrigated by rivers, cultivated more than 5,700 acres of fertile land, built four canals, built two bridges, and paved roads for 48 miles.

Moreover, he also relied on the strength of the natives to pull out the crocodiles from the river and put them in the oven, expanding the territory from Yanglai Bay to the east for eighty-six miles, until the high mountain cliffs; Forty-seven miles to the west, the footprint is all over the bay; One hundred and twenty miles to the south, it is borderline to the grassland.

Just through the letters, Chen Mu could feel the impact of the reclamation of the New World on Yang Zhaolong, and let him write in detail every inch of land, every acre of farmland, and every river he had stepped on in the letters like a child.

In addition to the poor soil, there is nothing wrong with that new world, even if the soil is barren, Yang Zhaolong doesn't care, he wants cattle, sheep and horses, he wants more people.

In time, the existence of the New World will hit the hearts of everyone in the entire empire, far more than the countries of Luzon and Sulu, and in Yang Zhaolong, Chen Mu is more and more aware of the mentality of his contemporaries towards overseas.

Even if he used war as a means and under the pretext of help to cloak the colonies in a cloak of friendship and realize their sinister intentions of conquest and assimilation, the Ming people still did not have a desire for such an act, let alone a fanatical mentality like the great geographical discoveries of Europeans.

They passively accepted Chen Mu's feedback overseas, enjoying their success but not having the desire to drive them to join it.

Because in Luzon, in Sulu, in Ryukyu, and in Borneo, the era of the Son of Heaven being his home in the four seas has long passed, leaving the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the lucky ships flying the dragon flag are guests wherever they go.

Xinming is different, they can be the masters there.

Yang Zhaolong's excitement also brought great excitement to Chen Mu.

His sense of accomplishment was soon dispelled by the rope straightened in his hand, and across the town square, the mighty Great Dane, the foremost of the Viceroy of Portuguese India, kicked his front paws restlessly, lowered his head and bowed his body to let out a terrifying growl.

Even the European hounds, who had not panicked when they followed their masters into battle as mercenaries in the Mughal Empire, had to be defensive in the face of two eager geese to try their wings.

Even if the owner asked the big Dane dog not to mess around with a standard password, it would be useless, because Chen Mu spread his hands and said: "I know how to train the dog, can you train the goose?" Anyway, I can't, I can't control it. ”

As the saying goes, dogs are afraid of people bending over, wolves are afraid of people pulling out knives, but geese are not afraid of anything, everything in this world is very small in their eyes, and small things can be beaten.

When the two geese stretched their wings three feet off the ground and pounced on the Great Dane with a high-pitched chirp, the heroic hound was slapped on the face by the goose's wings, and was pecked twice before he could fight back, and fled with a wailing tail guard, Chen Mu seemed to see a lonely Japanese samurai jumping towards the rustic wolf without hesitation.

The expression of the governor's envoy became more and more embarrassed, and the Portuguese officer, who was arrogant in any corner of the world, was very unhappy to bow his head to Chen Mu here, and he did not want to stay for a moment, and said: "Honorable General Ming, Your Excellency Anthony, the Governor of India, greets you, and orders you to bring a treaty on the joint defense of the three ports west of Malacca, hoping that the general can stop those pirates who are acting recklessly." ”

"Your Excellency seems to be in a hurry, let's go, let's go to the yamen to discuss."

Chen Mu was about to walk to the municipal yamen, and the envoy of the Indian governor said: "There are still military affairs in the future, and I ask the general to do it as soon as possible." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, it'll be soon." Chen Mu rarely spoke a word of their language in his own territory, and did not blindly belittle or bully others, after all, he just had a bad temperament, and he didn't have much ill feeling towards the Portuguese, and said: "The peace envoy sent by the King of Spain is also waiting." ”

"The Portuguese is my friend, let's talk first, let him wait."
