The letter was sent from the Oriental Military Government at the end of July, and as the Wanshou Festival approached, hundreds of leaders of the five prefectures, the five overseers, Deng Zilong and Yang Tingxiang, the nobles of New Spain and Portuguese Brazil, and the tribal alliances scattered throughout North Asia, large and small, rushed to Changsheng.

Of course, the Asian 'border generals' such as Black Cloud Dragon and Hulan did not come, and they stuck to the land they had just annexed, and only sent riders to escort the leaders of the Iroquois and the Brotherly Alliance to the victory of the Everlasting Tribute.

The ever-winning merchants and immigrants used colorful paintings, silks, colored cloths, and lanterns to decorate the lanterns in the market, and the yamen and all walks of life had a three-day holiday, and the whole world celebrated.

The garrison is also on holiday, but some of the complicated departments take turns in front and behind Wanshou Street.

The eight characters of Chaotian Palace have not yet been skimmed, and Zhu Xiaoen, the only prince who has been canonized in a serious manner, thinks that he has considerable authority when celebrating the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and transfers the well-trained Restoration Army outside, gives up the camp of the Restoration Army, and sets up a birthday platform in the small bay facing west.

Whether it is Chen Mu or the five overseers headed by Deng Zilong, or the five county magistrates headed by Zou Yuanbiao, giving the emperor a birthday is an important festival and form, and the longevity festival is not only the birthday of the Wanli Emperor, but also the way they miss their hometown.

From this point of view, Zhu Xiaoen, the king of Ailan, is undoubtedly the most sincere, he knows very well that everything he has comes from the great tomorrow in the Forbidden City, and Zhang Luo is also the hardest, and he only hates to fly back to China with his wings to celebrate the emperor's birthday in person.

After the Oriental Military Government spends military loans, this Alan prince no longer has much money to spend. Even so, he still saved money and hired more than a dozen painters from Changsheng, and painted him and his Fuguo Army several times with various painting techniques as a birthday gift to the emperor.

Originally, Zhu Xiaoen wanted to find a group of European painters from New Spain and Brazil, but found that under the influence of Xu Wei, many of Changsheng's painters had already integrated some European painting techniques.

There is a phalanx of Spanish-style infantry with spears and birds; There are Qi Jiguang-style mandarin duck arrays with wolf stalks, long knives, bird guns, and big shields; There are also Beiyang-style wheel firing formations composed of armorless bird guns; There are also 100 horse teams, 100 artillery teams, and 100 engineer units.

The 1,000-strong Restoration Army forced Zhu Xiaoen to draw flowers.

He also wrote a long letter to the emperor freely, to the effect that he wished His Majesty a long life and thanked the Lord Longen, with the help of Chen Shuai of the Oriental Military Government, the Alan Restoration Army has completed its training, and will go on an expedition to Ireland next year to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty.

When these birthday gifts were sent to Chen Mu with the birthday gifts offered by officials and people from all over the country to be loaded on a ship and sent back to Daming, Chen Mu only hoped that these paintings would not be seen by Qi Jiguang or other generals who knew the soldiers.

Otherwise, he would have been ridiculed.

Is the Restoration Army combative? Yes.

However, the generals of the martial arts department can see from these paintings at a glance that each unit has drawbacks.

There is no problem with the Spanish phalanx composed of three infantry hundreds, the cloth armor bird hand and the cuirassier spearman are well matched, and there is also a heavy armored long knife hand with a Qi family knife, even if it encounters the genuine Spanish phalanx, it has the power to fight.

But the configuration of the bird gun, the horse team, the artillery team, and the armor gun are all monkey versions.

For example, a Beiyang cavalry is equipped with one long weapon, two short weapons, one of two bows, and a human horse armor and carrying a baggage, while the cavalry of the Fuguo Army only has spears and bones, and horses do not have armor, and people only have helmets and cuirasels.

In all fairness, this set of armaments is actually a very good military configuration, but the problem is that Zhu Xiaoen spent money - although the loan could not be repaid until the independence of the Elan Kingdom, he spent money.

What makes Chen Mu very pleased now is that no matter what comes to mind when the Korean and Chinese generals see these paintings, Zhu Xiaoen is very satisfied with it anyway.

In this regard, Zhu Xiaoen said: "The Restoration Army serves me, and this king is loyal to the Son of Tomorrow, what do you want such a good armament for?" As long as they can beat the nobles of England and Ireland who are loyal to the British. ”

Chen Mu's evaluation is very free and easy, and he understands people.

Zhu Xiaoen knew what he wanted, and he also knew what his enemy was, if the restoration of the country was successful, there would be the protection of the Oriental military fleet at sea, the land would not border with European countries, and the business and trade affairs would be handled by Ming Dynasty merchants.

He really doesn't need to maintain a strong armed force.

In addition to Zhu Xiaoen, the five counties also prepared a lot of gifts for the Wanli Emperor, the Majiagang garrison was very simple, two pairs of fine white bear fur, four intact giant walrus tusks, these treasures that were not willing to be sold were sent in a lucky boat.

As for Jincheng, it is relatively simple, using one hundred and twenty catties of gold to make a model of the Wanli ship.

Deng Zilong, who was in Panama, was not distracted, and asked his cronies to go around the palace of the Governor of Portugal and Brazil, and brought back some novelties and loaded half a boat.

There is nothing in Jiexian County, there are more sheep than people, Ai Mu made a long difficulty, and finally made nine sets of cashmere jackets of various colors for the emperor under the advice of Chen Mu, which is probably the deepest sacred heart, because it is specially made to wear a style suitable for wearing in the clothes to keep warm.

The most practical thing about Shao Tindana was that the son of Lautaro, the leader of the Mapuche people, had come directly to load himself onto the ship.

is the second son, the elder Lautaro is training in Chile with the Western weapons captured by Shao Tingda, and is planning to go to Peru to make a revolution; The eldest son, Little Lautaro, also learned agricultural knowledge such as irrigation and water conservancy in Chile, and the second son was not very old, so he followed Shao Tingda and ran over to tell Chen Mu that he was going to serve the emperor.

frightened Chen Mu, this kid is about the same age as Wanli, and he entered the palace to serve the emperor, is he planning to castrate himself?

No, the final name is to go to Beijing on behalf of my father to send the emperor a camel skin blanket woven by the Mapuche people, and after the dedication, I will listen to the emperor's arrangement, so that if I stay in Beijing, I will stay in Beijing to study, and let me come back with the fourth phase of Beiyang.

As for Chen Mu's gift, he knew that the emperor liked cats, and he sent the Siamese little guy here, so he wanted to get a cat for the emperor to go back, big cat.

After his idea appeared, Ding Hai, a migrant village lieutenant on the border, did catch a jaguar under a trap, and later picked up a litter of big cat cubs to raise, but at present, the cubs still have basic ferocity, and if you want to eliminate the danger, I am afraid that it will take at least three generations of domestication, and it is obviously not in time for this year's Hallowe.

Chen Mu, who had no other way, had no choice but to ask Xu Wei to draw a picture of the big cat, and also carefully made two sets of Zhangrong pajamas according to the clothes of the jaguar warriors, the kind with leopard prints, to send warmth to the cold winter night that was about to come in the Forbidden City in the seventh year of Wanli.

From this point of view, the demise of the Aztecs may not be separated from the military uniforms, and how can the most outstanding warriors wear pajamas to the battlefield to form combat effectiveness?

The ceremony of paying homage to the bay from afar was a great success, and in the midst of all the attention, the nine Daifuku boats sailed into the bay with huge sails and shadows - it would have been perfect if it was not his brother-in-law who had disembarked from the boat, but the messenger of the Son of Heaven.
