Fu Yuan still understands Chen Mu.

On the endless sea, hordes of warships sailed eastward.

The temperature changed rapidly, and orders were issued from the ships of the Great Wall of the Sea, ordering the captains of each ship to replace the lookouts on the masts every half hour.

The temperature in the cabin is not high, and the best thing to do is about Chen Mu, although the command room of the flagship also has a fireplace made of refractory bricks, but the sailor's room is too big, not to mention that the flag army also has to take on the mission of duty on the ship, only the fleet commander is the happiest.

Luckily, they have a good stock of food and heating for the cold.

This greatly improved the work efficiency of the staff officers on the ship, and in order to keep warm, they all liked to get into Chen Mu's cabin, and entering Chen Mu's cabin meant entering the working state.

"The Oriental Military Government is a local department with three powers: finance, government, and military, and in order to completely control everything in Asia, it has set up five divisions subordinate to the Oriental according to the needs of the military government.

"The Military Affairs Department has two bureaus, and the staff bureau has a chief of staff, two people, and no quota for the staff. The Military Affairs Bureau has two military chiefs and eight attachés, who are in charge of the private affairs of the military government, and are divided into five grades to nine grades. ”

When Chen Mu said this, others didn't dare to interject, just forget about the Staff Bureau, Chen Mu of the Military Affairs Bureau didn't say that others knew it, the two people were the second and the eight attachés, which was completely looking for a name for the people who served him.

"The Military Division, the main departments are organized and organized. There is a military chief, and there are three bureaus of the army, navy, and intelligence. ”

"The Army Bureau is in charge of peacetime and wartime organization, troop replenishment, large-scale drills, changes in various guard stations, road and bridge construction, military discussions, military music, school grounds, training, martial arts halls, documents and statistics."

"The functions and powers of the Navy Bureau are similar to those of the Army Bureau, as well as naval guns, ships, routes, and transportation.

"The intelligence bureau is the chief scout and inspector, surveying, mapping, investigating, collecting and sorting out all the information on the military, cultural, economic, geographical, weather and other information of the tribes of various Asian countries, collecting and sorting out all the intelligence of the Oriental military government in Asia, and commenting on and studying the battles that have taken place in this land."

"The Military Department has a temporary post of 51 people, and the number of people in the military department is from the third rank to the ninth grade."

The Military Department is higher than the Military Affairs Department, which is still more pertinent in the eyes of Zhao Shizhen, Xu Zhenming, Xu Wei, and Yang Tingxiang.

Yang Tingxiang nodded secretly, and did not say anything to interrupt Chen Mu, although Chen Mu said that the Oriental Military Mansion has all three of them: finance, government, and military, but Chen Mu will never take it out in terms of personnel, not to mention that the entire Oriental Military Mansion has no personnel power except for Chen Mu.

He estimates that the rest is also related to the military.

Chen Mu's later words did not surprise him: "The Ordnance Department consists of seven bureaus, including armament, armor, artillery, warships, horse administration, miscellaneous weapons, and research, and the main manufacturing, maintenance, and treasury, and will be in charge of the ordnance bureaus of each county in the future." ”

"The Department of Military Medical Doctors will set up military doctors and veterinary schools to manage the deployment of military doctors in various health centers in the future."

"Finally, there is the Operations Division, which is in charge of customs, commerce, and transport affairs in the country. There is a financial bureau under it, which manages customs, commercial transportation, salary payment, and gold and silver exchange. ”

"The Bureau of Commerce is in charge of the mines, woodlands, hunting grounds and all business affairs in the future."

"Baggage Bureau, baggage shipping and transportation dispatch, rice and grain."

"The Personnel Bureau, every year, the recruitment of new recruits, the recruitment of graduates of the martial arts hall and the retired Beiyang soldiers, the work arrangements for disabled officers and flag army transfer to staff and research."

Chen Mu said, pushed the official document on the table in front of him forward, and then raised his head and asked everyone, "Do you think there is anything to add?" ”

When Chen Mu raised his head, several people still lowered their heads to record, and the first to raise his head was Yang Tingxiang, who looked around and smiled: "You don't have anything to say?" The student added a little to the big handsome. ”

Of these people, only Yang Tingxiang was born in the Guangzhou Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and he had more knowledge of military affairs than others, he said: "Great Shuai, when I was teaching the Martial Arts Hall, I found that there was no siege subject in both the north and the south. ”

"Looking at the past battles, the Nanyang Army rarely encounters sieges, even if it needs to attack a strong city, it does not besiege it, and attacks it with heavy artillery fire, which is the case with the battle of Baigu Three-eyed Gun."

"When my subordinates returned home, they saw many castles in Spain and Portugal, most of which were fortified stone cities, which were difficult to storm and attack, and the Beiyang Army had no training to besiege, so once they encountered an incident, they could not expect to collapse the stone city with artillery every time, not to mention that it was difficult to break through the solid stones."

"Since the Military Department is in charge of combat training, the Intelligence Bureau has so many reconnaissance affairs, and the Ordnance Department still has research, why not add a siege section, the Army and Navy Bureau of the Military Department will train sieges, the Intelligence Bureau will train spies, and the Ordnance Department will study city-breaking weapons."

Specialized!

"Siege section, it's necessary."

Chen Mu and a group of staff members all thought that Yang Tingxiang's words were very necessary, and they really needed such a department to increase their siege capabilities.

"Nothing else?"

Chen Mu followed the temptation, and finally said: "The military government should establish its own duties when it arrives in Asia, and the fleet should be passing through the Heishui Tatar Islands at the moment, and there is still a long voyage, and there is still time, but there are more problems that need to be solved at the moment." ”

"Where does the wealth of the Toyo Military Mansion come from, and where does the expansion of the Toyo Military Government begin?"

As soon as Chen Mu's words fell, Zhao Shizhen said: "Forest, mining and tariffs, the Nanyang Military Government has enough experience, from Majiagang to the south, next year to gain a firm foothold, merchants enter Asia, prospect in the vast land, and exchange silk with Spain for silver." ”

Zhao Shizhen has a sufficient understanding of Nanyang, Yang Ting has more knowledge than Asia, he shook his head and said: "Forestry is not difficult, there are giant trees of more than 100 years old in northern Asia for planning forest farms, and the land is vast enough, even if a forest farm is only cut down for five years, with the existing map, it is enough to plan 20 places, which can be used for 100 years and 1,000 years to obtain good timber." ”

"It's easy to say that the customs are only minerals, and the original intention of the Oriental Military Government was to get Asian silver mines, but this is already in Spain's pocket, and Mexico has silk weaving, and the scale is very large, what they need most is not silk, but raw silk or even silk."

"In Mexico, they have as many as 10,000 silk mills, like the silk mill set up by Chen Shuai in Guangzhou in Xiangshan, but the manual labor and the looms are not good, and the output and quality are slightly inferior."

"Long-distance transportation, the cost of a pound of raw silk is at least one tael, and the cost of a pound of spinning silk is at least eight cents.

"In contrast, the sale of jewelry, porcelain, incense, musk, and metal utensils is more recognized, and it is profitable."

Is it that the Jinshi know how to do business, or does the Jinshi know everything?

Chen Mu looked at Yang Tingxiang with some surprise, at least in his opinion, Yang Tingxiang seemed to know everything, if he was greedy for money, maybe he would be another Yin Zhengmao, and if he was given ten years of growth, he would be even more powerful than Yin Zhengmao.

There is nothing special about the goods he said, the biggest difference is that those are processed finished products, in modern terms, they are high added value, and they are high-tech industries and luxury goods in this era.

It is different from the hard work of selling raw silk and spinning silk.

"It's not urgent to sell any goods, if I can get what I want, even if I give them silk and foot money, I can give in."

When Chen Mu said this, Yang Tingxiang didn't react, but Zhao Shizhen and others, who had a deep understanding of his greed, showed something strange - it was impossible for Chen Erye to change sex, how could he say the word 'concession'?

And it sounds like it's happy to suffer.

"The Potosí silver mine is here, and I want to acquire a piece of land, here, this long coastline."

Chen Mu first pointed to Bolivia on the map of Asia that served as a tablecloth, then covered his hand on the west coast of Asia from Peru to Chile, and then nodded at the narrowest point of the connection between North Asia and South Asia, and said: "This coastline extends four hundred miles inward, including this place, everything else can be compromised." ”

Yang Ting's face was too big, and the expression of this literati from Jinshi was difficult to see, and he reminded in a low voice: "Chen Shuai, that is all the land of Spain in Asia, except for silver mines and Mexico, you want it all?" ”

"And you're just exchanging land with them, what are you going to get? The land north of Mexico was painstakingly managed, and further east, it was Portuguese land, and the Spaniards had nowhere to go. ”

"Changing the land? For what? ”

Chen Mu said with a natural look: "The capital of the Aztecs, the most prosperous Mexico City, I didn't want it, right?" The Potosi silver mine, the backbone of Spain's economy, I didn't want it either, did I? What else do you want? My Celestial Empire's army has come across the ocean, and I don't eat? What's wrong with fishing along the coastline, I'm all the way to him and don't care about the food. ”
