Chen Mu has always regretted that he didn't bring two geese on the boat.

The long voyage made life extremely boring, but fortunately he brought a yellow dog with him, and he could walk the dog on the deck of the Great Wall of China in his spare time.

The voyage of the Oriental Fleet brought with it more than 800 dogs, almost one of which were carried by the officers, and these dogs were no less excited to go to sea than their owners.

In the first half of the month when the fleet first set sail, there were countless dogs running on the flagships of each fleet during the day and barking at night.

Chen Mu's flag army is the most elite flag army, and their yellow dogs are also the strongest yellow dogs.

"The imperial court called this four thousand miles and one hundred households, why is it called four thousand miles, and it is four thousand miles away from Beijing?"

Zhu Xiaoen and Chen Mu stood on the deck together, looking at the four thousand miles and hundreds of households they had just left to replenish supplies from a distance, and there was also a dog standing at his feet, with long red curly hair on his body, which was a hunting dog he had brought from Ireland.

The size is the same as Chen Mu's yellow dog, both are two feet tall at the shoulders, but the yellow dog that looks like a steppe wolf is very different, not very like a wolf.

Chen Mu raised his arm and pointed to four thousand miles and hundreds of households, so he said west: "There is a big bay over there, and the distance from Kuwu Island to the northeast to the bay is four thousand miles, and the coastal navigation is eight thousand miles. ”

"Our brave general took a long way to explore the road, and it was less than two thousand miles from Kuwu Island to the east, and he called it this name to the hundred households in order to remember that he had traveled a long way, and to warn him to be cautious when exploring the road in the future."

"A smart move."

Zhu Xiaoen nodded slowly, more than a year in Beiyang has made him more and more like a Ming Dynasty man in words and deeds, not because of the influence of the environment, but because he has been taking the initiative to learn.

Learn what he sees and hears, learn everything he can see.

For example, how a huge country runs, such as the thoughts of military commander Chen Mu - analyze what he has in his head.

Everything in this country is divided into two parts in Zhu Xiaoen's eyes, one part has nothing to do with Chen Mu, and the other part is more or less influenced by Chen Mu.

For example, craft, let's say military.

Both parts are very powerful for Zhu Xiaoen, but one part is completely strange and not so easy to understand, while the other part is not so strange and even familiar.

Chen Mu brought him such a strange feeling, his military thoughts, his military uniform, his armor and guns, as the first person who can barely be called 'learning from China and the West', Zhu Xiaoen has quite unique opinions.

"A smart move?"

Chen Mu had a smile on his face, and said, "Later, the heroic general of the empire continued to sail eastward, camped in Wangxia Prefecture for a few months, and set sail again, this time he went far away. ”

"He always thought he was lost, but I knew it wasn't because it wasn't a way."

"We can't go to Wangxia Prefecture, otherwise we should really take you to see, the current Wangxia Prefecture is 1,000 miles northeast of 4,000 miles and 100 households, and Wangxia Prefecture originally established by Ma Shuai is 5,000 miles northeast."

"This season, the sea has frozen into ice, and only the ancient ancestors would walk from the ice to the other side of the sea."

"From here to the east, the fleet sails westward for six thousand six hundred miles, and along the way it may pass through hundreds of houses on the island, but it may not, and those are all dangerous places, and the small fleet that is not well supplied must rely on them if it wants to pass through here."

"I've never seen someone as obsessed with military affairs as Dashuai." Zhu Xiaoen listened to Chen Mu lead the topic to the military again, and said helplessly: "No matter what you talk about, in the end, the marshal will talk about the military, the military can't solve all problems, most Ming people attach great importance to the clan, children and grandchildren, your child is almost two years old, but the marshal is much more affectionate than his son when he mentions the military." ”

"We live ......"

Before Chen Mu's words were finished, Zhu Xiaoen directly took over and said: "I know that I know that we live in a world that has been changed by war, and we will use war to change the next world." ”

"This sentence will be more widespread in the future than Plato's 'children are afraid of darkness, and the greatest tragedy in life is that adults are afraid of light'.

"I dare to guarantee that in the near future, the whole world will know that in the Ming Empire, there is a general born for war."

Chen Mu turned his head and smiled, Zhu Xiaoen's Chinese is very fluent, but some pronunciations can be heard with his eyes closed, but the world changed by the war he learned, whether it is the tone or the pause, is exactly the same as himself.

But he still shook his head and smiled to himself: "You know this sentence, but you don't know the meaning of this sentence, only I know it in the world." ”

Zhu Xiaoen blinked, looked at the sky-high seabirds beside the boat, stroked away the water droplets splashed by the waves on the red python robe, and arched his hand: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Chen Mu lowered his head and pointed to the yellow dog lying at his feet, and said, "Which is better or worse between it and your dog?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Xiaoen shook his head, his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't know why Chen Mu asked like this, so he continued: "The yellow dog runs very fast, has a large physique, is fierce, has a simple and docile temperament, and is a very good dog." ”

Chen Mu bowed his head slowly and said: "It is like us, for 10,000 years, from the Yellow River Valley to the world, wherever the footprints of the ancestors went, it followed." ”

"It has the most noble bloodline, and it is it that the ancestors ran to hunt and take care of the family, and the first emperor ruled the world 1,800 years ago, and it was also the one who led it."

"I am it, it is me, the people of the Celestial Empire and the dogs of the Celestial Empire, both have a face that is born to win."

"You know the battle of Linlai Island, I let their fleet sink into the sea, and they not only treat us as people, but even the natives of America who look like the Tang people can be treated as people."

"What if we lose Linlai Island, our men will be vulnerable in battle, and women will have no status, and people will be inferior to other people's people, not to mention dogs?"

"Knowing etiquette and knowing etiquette, knowing honor and disgrace when food and clothing are sufficient. If you lose the war, there will be no etiquette and no honor and disgrace, and everything will go backwards. ”

"Everyone is born in the world and must have something to do, Chen was not born for war, I have always wanted to find a way to avoid war."

Zhu Xiaoen looked at Chen Mu seriously, he didn't believe that Chen Mu would really look for a way to avoid war, obviously everything about Chen Mu came from war.

A person will never dig up the roots of an old house before he has a new house.

"Didn't find it."

Chen Mu said very naturally, shrugged his shoulders, raised his feet, and as soon as he raised the sleeping rhubarb, he wagged his tail and followed, leaving Zhu Xiaoen alone on the bow of the boat, listening to Chen Mu humming the lyrics that came from nowhere.

"This moss pile, I have slept in the wind and sleep, and I will rise and fall for fifty years - see it full!"
