Chapter 116: On the Road
Chen Mu thought about this matter carefully, it didn't matter who the target was, Zhang Juzheng naturally asked You Qi to convey this matter.
Even if the young and ignorant emperor wanted to kill these people in a fit of anger, he had to take the means of a court rod, or he listened to Chen Mu's slander and sent them wherever he was guilty.
Zhang Juzheng just said that he couldn't let Zou Yuanbiao come back alive.
Who did he think he was?
It doesn't matter what position Zhang Juzheng puts himself in, but what does he think of Chen Mu, a killer?
Chen Mu is true that he has killed countless people, but military law is military law, war is war, his identity is a general with enough independent power overseas, if the national interests are so big that he needs to plan a war, he will naturally plan it, and he will not hesitate to kill as many people as he wants.
But what is it?
Leading the country depends on the appointment of the emperor and the selection of the imperial court, but it relies on the private influence that is strong enough to influence the country, which is commonly known as the power and skill ability.
Chen Mu began to understand why Zhang Han, who had always been promoted and reused by Zhang Juzheng, would neither object, agree, nor implement many things instructed by Zhang Juzheng.
He killed Zou Yuanbiao today as ordered, which official provoked him tomorrow, if his power and influence were enough, could he also bypass the laws of the imperial court and send someone to blow up other people's mansions with Nanyang explosives?
This is gangster behavior and should not be seen by the actual head of the empire.
The main hall of the Yamen of the Beiyang Military Palace.
At night, the lights were already turned off, and the marshal returned to the yamen, and the earthen-core iron-framed kerosene lamp inlaid into the top beams and pillars in the hall was lit, illuminating the main hall.
In the hall, Zhao Shizhen and the five gentlemen sat in the guest seat together, and Zhao Shizhen did not hurry to put incense pills into the Fuhu Boshan furnace in the hall, which imitated the shape of antiques, in order to calm down and refresh his mind.
Several people yawned, and Zou Yuanbiao, who couldn't stop idle, watched the kerosene lamp on the beam and pillar burn and emitted clean smoke, and asked Zhao Shizhen like a hundred thousand whys.
However, the well-informed Shen Sixiao did not have the slightest curiosity, and said in a familiar tone and did not forget to comment, and said: "I told a few people earlier, Chen Shuai has a natural talent, and it is not strange that anything appears in the places where he has stayed - but this lamp still needs to be made by Guangzhou craftsmen, that is the magic workmanship, this is too rough!" ”
Zhao Shizhen squinted his eyes and listened to Shen Sixiao boasting about his ability to be the master of the scene, and looked at the expressions of several people, Zou Yuanbiao was pure curiosity, this person can accept the best treatment, and he is not afraid of the worst thing after thinking about it, and his heart alone is a talent; Shen Sixiao and Ai Mu looked a lot more cheerful when they arrived in Beiyang at this time, and they must have opened their hearts and figured it out.
Wu Zhongxing didn't have any knots, as soon as his impeachment of the teacher was transmitted, he took a copy to see Zhang Juzheng, ashamed and ashamed, hated and hated, and the complaint was upright.
Guangzhou craftsmen's handicraft ability is the best in the world, pewter, iron, pottery, proficient in everything, known as the world's best.
In Chen Mu's words, it is the first in the world.
"I have dealt with Fanren in Xia, and when Yin Gong was appointed to Liangguang, he also wanted to raise military funds in Guangzhou, but he did not obey the prefect and the county order, and Fanyi must be managed in the way that Chen Shuai governs Haojing, less profitable, and more domineering." Shen Sixiao raised his hand and patted the armrest of the seat and smiled, feeling very proud of himself, and said: "They do everything possible to learn iron casting, silk weaving, shipbuilding, bridge building, and farming tools. ”
"Cast iron is for making cannons, weaving silk is for wealth, and farming is because they can only use dustpans to raise the valley, and Shen Moushi Panyu alone caught many thieves who wanted to smuggle Yanggu fans."
Foreigners don't know how to cast large pieces, Zhao Shizhen has long known that Nanyang has a complete set of laws and regulations to manage smuggling, so he didn't care, just smiled and asked: "They still want to learn shipbuilding?" ”
Shen Sixiao bowed his head and said: "It's not a battleship in the South Seas, and the foreign soldiers who stayed in Haojing can't return to their hometowns, not to mention that our new warships have learned from them, and the structure is clear at a glance, what they want to learn is a lucky ship, which is cheap and durable, and they are all businessmen over there, and they want to learn this." ”
Zou Yuanbiao didn't understand this, and when he listened to the two of them chatting more and more, he fell asleep, yawned and complained with his chin: "Chen Shuai is not good when he goes to take a bath?" The boat line does not say day and night, and it is ...... in the middle of the night Chen Shuai is here, Chen? ”
Zou Yuanbiao, who was originally bored, showed ecstasy when he heard the sound of military boots stepping on the floor from the screen in the back hall, and then saw Chen Mu walking out in red breeches and a white middle shirt, and then the joy on his face quickly froze.
Chen Mu, who had just finished bathing, was not wearing a hair towel, and his short hair was still wet, but this had nothing to do with the black guards who followed behind the Oriental Marshal, Zou Yuanbiao's eyes were staring at Chen Mu's hand.
Chen Mu's hand was holding a wide leather belt that had been untied, and the belt was connected with a sword sleeve and a gun cover, and the sword sleeve contained a short sword worn by a martial arts officer, and there was naturally Chen Mu's portable sword in the gun sleeve, and it was two strokes.
Bang dang!
The belt was thrown on the table, pressed by Chen Mu's palm, and Juniper stood expressionlessly on the right side of the main seat.
When Chen Mu was taking a bath, Juniper, who received the news, got up overnight and rushed to the yamen, and reported to Chen Mu the urgent letter from Nanyang that came with the ship, fortunately Gao Gong was in Nanyang Weigang when he received the letter, otherwise the letter would have to wait at least a month and a half before it could be sent to Beiyang.
In the letter, Gao Gong expressed to Chen Mu the reaction of the Nanyang vassal states since the Deng Zilong incident, and there was no fierce resistance as Deng Zilong imagined, and it was the relatively leaderless Luzon soldiers who were assigned to the Yunnan army, and the king of Luzon is now living comfortably in Beijing, and the state affairs are completely handed over to the Nanyang Military Government, where can I take care of those soldiers.
Suleiman has one meaning, the emperor will fight the Luzon army wherever he directs, and the emperor will put them wherever he likes.
He was a tribal chieftain himself, and was courteous to Emperor Longqing when he first entered Beijing to pay tribute, and saw the flowery world of Beijing - his mansion was arranged to build a well-equipped inner city in the year of Yongle, and all other facilities except transportation were the first in the world, so in the second year of Wanli's accession to the throne, he hurriedly put aside the country and went to Beijing again to pay tribute.
Then Zhang Juzheng said the little emperor's suggestion, if you really like Beijing so much, don't go, the king enjoys the treatment of the king of Zhu's county, the prince enjoys the treatment of the general of the Zhenguo, and gives a total of 3,000 stones of rice, 3,000 taels of silver, 15 horses of brocade, 70 horses of silk, 30 horses of yarn and Luo, 150 horses of silk and winter and summer cloth, 750 taels of cotton, 70 taels of salt, 400 catties of tea, 15 horses of horse foil, and the prince of the country enters the country to study for five years, and if you want to return to China in the future, you can go back directly to inherit the throne.
The Ministry of Industry also specially made him a deputy Kongming car, that is, a wheelchair, to facilitate the walking of the king of Luzon.
Does this still need to be considered?
The reason why Luzon is still there is because of the Ming army, and now there is not only the Ming army, but also the Ming prefect, the county, the political and the people, what else to consider?
It's now called Julaiman.
Therefore, Gao Gong still transferred troops and ships to Beiyang, but he was really reluctant to transfer the army of the Zong Domain, and according to Chen Mu's request, he transferred three fleet commanders, and the letter said that they were ready to set off after getting the news, namely Shao Tingda, Shi Qi and Lin Manjue, but the first two only brought less than 100 subordinates each, and did not lead troops.
It was Lin Manjue who met Chen Mu's requirements for sailors, and he would take 1,200 of his old troops such as the guerrilla general Lin Xiao to sail north, and they would serve as the captain of the navy of the Oriental Expedition.
Chen Mu pressed the belt on the table with his hand, his eyes scanned the five people, and finally stayed on Zhao Yongxian's face, and said: "Zhao Rushi, Chen heard Chang Ji say, you don't want to live anymore, tell me why you don't want to live, after speaking, Chen will give you reason, see if you can persuade you to love life, if not, it will be too hard to hang yourself and jump into the sea......"
Chen Mu raised his hand and tapped the wooden handle of the handcuff decorated with inscriptions in the handcuff on the table, and said: "It is also called reason, Chen Mou pointed out that the archery technique is the most proficient, and he will send you on the road." ”
