Chapter 134: News

Since the arrival of immigrants to the east, the messy affairs of Changsheng County have not stopped for more than half a month, and this key sea ship brought the news of the death of the imperial court officials, Chen Mu could only set up a mourning platform on the shore, and assigned his cronies to take the next boat back to Daming to Yihuang County, Jiangxi Province and Xinjian to mourn on his behalf.

The first to pass away was Tan Lun, who was already the crown prince Shaobao, and the imperial court posthumously presented the prince Taibao, nicknamed Xiangmin.

When the old man died, he still remembered him, and sent someone to copy four copies of his military book, called "Military Regulations Class Examination", a total of seven volumes, one of which was sent to Qi Jiguang in Jizhen, and the other was sent to him across the ocean.

The remaining two copies were sent to the North and South Lecture Martial Arts Halls respectively, drawing an end to his career as a horseman.

Another news of his passing is that Wu Guifang, the old governor who promoted Chen Mu to the end of the micro, first transferred from the governor of Liangguang to the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, and then went north to the left, and the left attendant of the Beijing Military Department, at that time Chen Mu went north, Wu Guifang's health was not very good.

Later, the old man became the governor of Caoyun, built the Caowan River on the north bank of the Huai River, and built two embankments in Gaoyou to store lake water.

In addition to these two people, the family spread the news that Gao Gong's health is not good, the emperor ordered the doctors of the Beiyang Medical Academy to go to Nanyang to recuperate the minister's body, and the first-class doctor who went was called Li Shizhen, and this year compiled a "Compendium of Materia Medica", which summarized tens of millions of herbs in the world.

However, his book is not very valued in the Beiyang Medical Academy, I remember that there are too many prescriptions and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made, regardless of whether the medical academy or the hospital is a court institution, and does not pay attention to miscellaneous prescriptions, but pays more attention to practical and feasible prescriptions.

For example, Li Shizhen's other book that won the Wanli Medical Award, "The Eight Pulses of the Strange Classics", Cheng Hongyuan, an old doctor who became the president of the Beiyang Medical Academy, likes to read this book the most, and "The Pulse of the Lake", which was written a few years ago, is deeply loved by the dean who is not very skilled in medicine.

Cheng Hongyuan, who only knows how to do surgery, read Li Shizhen's book, and his ability to do the big and small pulse has improved by leaps and bounds.

These news continued to bombard his ears indiscriminately for several days, making Chen Mu inevitably feel sad and sad.

Tan Lun and Wu Guifang passed away one after another, and Gao Gong was seriously ill, which made him feel more and more that an era was coming to an end.

It was an era when the Ming Dynasty was deeply affected by the southern and northern captives.

In Chen Mu's view, that era full of disasters is indeed over, and there is a well-known figure for Chen Mu in the army brought from Japan with Li Dan and Chen Jiujing, and the commander of the Echigo Guard, Uesugi Kenshin, led an army of 2,000 to come to the aid of the Japanese king Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

But it was useless, Uesugi Ling, known as the 'Dragon of Echigo', had been under the command of the guard for less than a year, and he drank too much wine on the ship on the voyage and couldn't wake up, and the two thousand Echigo soldiers were panicked, and it was all up to his adopted son Keikatsu to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise their dozen or so ships would have turned around and sailed back.

Chen Mu asked Chen Jiujing, who brought the troops over, how to calculate the official position in Japan, and why he gave Uesugi Kenshin a command of the fourth grade.

The Nine Classics say that this is determined by the Eight Wisdoms, because Uesugi's original official position was that they were promoted from the fifth rank to the third rank of the attached officer, and it happened to be the fourth rank, so he was appointed as the commander.

This is good, people drank and died on the road, Chen Mu's military government had to be promoted on the spot, and sent a suggestion to the imperial court to posthumously present the commander of Zhengsanpin Echigo, and at the same time appointed his adopted son Jingsheng to take over the official position of Wei Zhenfu and continue to command the troops.

Of course, there are good things in the news from China, for example, the old man Zhang Han has entered the cabinet.

Perhaps because he did not go against Zhang Juzheng in the matter of seizing love, Zhang Han soon entered the cabinet after Lu Tiaoyang left, becoming one of the few ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty who did not have Hanlin qualifications but entered the cabinet.

Judging from the letter, the old man must be happy, but he is more afraid than happy, this letter was written when he first entered the cabinet, but in the letter asked Chen Mu whether it was better for him to go to the East or the South Seas after the letter.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Han prefers to go to Nanyang because it is close to home; But because of the proximity to home, he felt scared, and he felt that it would be better to stay away from the East.

I was nervous, as if I was not going to the cabinet but to prison.

Fortunately, the shelves of the Oriental Military Mansion have been erected, and the staff and directors of various departments can do anything without Chen Mu, otherwise these things alone can take up all of Chen Mu's time.

After he finished worshipping Tan Lun and Wu Guifang, and then returned to the port yamen, the underground wine cellar in the past had been transformed into an underground command room. In the middle of the two columns of tables is a huge sand table that is five zhang longitudinal and horizontal, and the sand table topographic map strictly follows the terrain and scale to indent the radius of Changsheng County into a radius of 200 miles.

Mountains, valleys, ravines, plains, rivers, forests and oceans are all covered in a variety of landscapes, glued with dyes of different colors.

This five-zhang sand table is only half completed now, and the Changsheng County around the sea is drawn with a dense grid with ink lines, and the number is numbered with a red pen according to the distance between the grid and the county.

On the side of each number, there are molds fired out of small pottery courtyards, the size of the pottery courtyard is no more than half a palm, some of the villages close to the county have been written with the name of the village, and the farther places are only numbered and have no name for the time being.

No matter how far away, due to the distance, the Ming army could not fully understand the local terrain, so there was not even a small courtyard.

Lin Hu'er led his banner army to escort immigrants to the garrison from west to east, and another mission was to map out the surrounding terrain of the villages according to the number, and when his banner army returned, these terrains and villages could be completed one by one, which also meant that the Ming army's eyes on the terrain would be directly across the mountain from Mexico City.

Those people would be angry if they knew about the irresponsible attitude of the local governor, right? Chen Mu didn't know what the terrain and landform looked like two hundred miles away, so he had already allocated the land five hundred miles away.

Zou Yuanbiao didn't come to work today, only the county canon Shi wore civilian clothes in the underground command room with craftsmen to decorate.

There are aborigines in the county to get married, in the Ming Dynasty this happy event is called Xiao Dengke, the common people get married, the groom can wear the nine-grade green official robe, the bride can wear the nine-grade phoenix crown and the nine-grade embroidered school pattern Xia Wei - the ordinary people who are honest and honest are about this time in their lives to be able to obey the order.

This custom also continued to this side with the Ming army, and the official robe of the classic history was lent to the aboriginal groom who got married, and the phoenix crown was specially made by the craftsmen in the county, and it was placed in the county government in the future, and whoever got married borrowed it.

As for Zou Yuanbiao, the official magistrate of the county, his parents, he specially asked for leave from the military government mechanics unit Zhao today and went to drink the wedding wine.

In fact, Chen Mu should have gone to this kind of occasion, but he was depressed because of the death of two elders who had supported him, and he didn't want to participate in this kind of happy event, so he had to go to the command room to look at the sand table and wonder where the food behind him would come from.

Before he could figure out the result, the pro-soldiers in the port had already run into the basement of the yamen, clenched their fists and said, "Marshal, the fleet is urgent!" ”
