Wake up refreshed.

Chen Mu had too many things to do, and he had no clue for a while, so he decided to start by going to Haojing first.

He wanted to inspect Bai Yuanjie's work.

I haven't landed on the island for a long time, and I'm afraid that the complaints in the mailbox have long been piling up. Not to mention, in the two years since he left Guangdong, people have not forgotten him, and the first thing Long Junxiong did when he came back was to send someone to burn incense at the Chen Gong Ancestral Hall in Tuen Mun to make up some incense for his father-in-law in the dark.

Chen Mu, who led the two healthy geese to walk the bend, brought back to Tuen Mun Xiaosheng Ancestral Hall was renovated and stamped by the local maritime merchants, and the small dwarf temples at the entrance of the alleys in front of each village in the past were gone, and there were six villages in Tuen Mun to worship a large ancestral hall, and Chen Mu of the ancestral hall was painted with yellow paint, which was bigger than his real life, and looked the same as the distorted portrait hanging in the front hall of the Chen mansion in Nanyang Port, which was renamed.

The golden dragon is a dragon and a tiger, and the true monarch of the Xuantan.

"We don't know what's going on, saying that there is a surname Yu in Fujian, and he came to inquire about folklore, as if he said that he wanted to write a book." Long Junxiong hugged his helmet and scratched his head, "What is it called Dongzhou and what countries, he always tells the villagers about those gods and ghosts, and then it became like this." ”

Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?

Chen Mu felt that this name was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, his eyes widened.

Romance of the Gods!

Although the Yuan Dynasty already had something about

"Go back and let Shao Xing go back to his hometown in Fujian, find this surnamed Yu, he wants to compile it, Chen can fund him some, if you want, you can come to me to write a book." Chen Ye jumped off the boat with the goose, looked at the gate not far away and the long-lost Haojing Fort, and said: "The vision of writing should be long-term, let him go to Luzon with Chen to collect materials, and wherever our fleet goes in the future, it will affect it." ”

The old subordinates such as Shao Tingda and Shi Qi who accompanied him listened to Guan'er, but they were also used to the general's usual nonsense temperament, so they didn't say much. Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong had nothing to say, they knew that Chen Mu's heart was both wild and big.

The only one who spoke out was Zhao Shizhen, who was full of novelties, and he didn't think that Chen Mu was just because someone else wrote one, and established a higher prestige for him in Tuen Mun through the theory of ghosts and gods, so he had to be accepted as a staff member.

After all, most of the military households of Wanquan Dusi worship Chen Mu, and in his opinion, these things should not be enough to surprise Chen Shuai.

He felt that Chen Mu must have deeper plans.

asked: "Ming Gong's move, I don't understand, can you explain it in detail?" ”

"Now that everything is ready, the most difficult support from the court has been solved; Guangdong can also be called a strong soldier and a strong horse, with ships and artillery; The goal is also very clear, that is, the west of Luzon. ”

Chen Mu returned the salute to the soldiers at the gate, and said as he walked with the Nanyang generals, "Now there is only a little left, before the full-scale war, what is the purpose of our waiting?" Is it a soldier who travels outside the territory and acts as a prestige? Of course not, the imperial court wanted to expel Xiyi, restore peace to Luzon, and re-establish the prestige of the Son of Heaven outside the Son of Heaven. ”

"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to ask the four characters of the imperial pen to be used as the sail of the Nanyang gunboats in the future, which is the boundless Celestial Empire, because the country has a boundary, and the dynasty has no borders."

"Most of you are war generals, and it is not that the imperial court has not gone out to fight in the past, but there are very few, mostly in the north. This time we are not fighting for the tributary state, we are still fighting for ourselves, we have three battlefields, in war, in trade, in culture. ”

"Tribute alone is not enough to supplement the needs of the imperial court, nor is it enough for us to push our soldiers into battle, so we need trade; And if you want to keep trade, you need culture, and when they read our books, learn from our heroes, and even the gods they have heard and see are in our system, and their hearts are the same as ours, they become us. ”

Chen Mu can already see the tall cross on the church in the middle of Haojing Square, it seems that the Bishop of Macau Carneiro has not been idle in the past two years, although the steps and stones were taken by him to pave the way, but the church is still slowly being built.

The gods are innocent, but people have hearts.

"Culture and trade influenced each other, forming a new Celestial Empire system, where good technologies were exchanged with each other and bad things were slowly discarded. Chen has always felt that people are alive, either they have money and power, or they can make this life very meaningful. ”

Chen Mu smiled at the people who were following him behind him, raised his hand and swept over: "Right now, everyone, there are both!" ”

-

On this day, the Portuguese finally remembered the fear of the donkey race burning the petition box.

With the two big geese striding into the municipal square, the businessmen and helpers of different skin tones each took a deep breath of cold air, and then they saw Huang Cheng, who was sitting firmly in the city hall, with a retinue of people, walking quickly across the square, bowing down between the two geese, and presenting a book and singing loudly: "The villain looks at Huang Cheng, meet the minister of Nanyang!" ”

In the distance, there was a new Yishang in the Haojing whispering to each other, asking who this young man who surrounded the Bai Commander and Nanyang Weiyi officials and nobles, and asked the leader Huang Cheng to bow down, and then they showed a look of surprise that was not difficult to guess.

"It's very well-informed, Dan'er said that you are very good, so he handed over the responsibility of managing Haojing to you." Chen Mu said, took the book and looked at it twice, Bai Yuanjie had already shown him this thing, Chen Mu nodded and said: "Now it seems that you are in charge quite well, okay, Chen Mou came not to look at your accounts, send someone to summon ...... Yo, you're here? ”

Chen Mu wanted to summon Bishop Carneiro, the head of the soldier Perez and other Hao Jing to lead the business, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, these people had already come, and the head of the bishop Carneiro saluted first, and said eagerly: "General Chen, you are finally here, I implore you to restrain Andrea Didis, his ungodly behavior has affected many of our disciples, and people's pious hearts have been led to depravity under his influence!" ”

Wait a minute!

Chen Mu didn't want to talk to the Portuguese about Andrea Didis, he wanted to see where the Portuguese would stand in the war between the Ming Dynasty and Spain, especially the Portuguese in Haojing, not to mention ...... Chen Mu frowned and said, "I haven't praised you yet, Bishop, your Chinese is improving very quickly." But that Andrea or something, who is that? ”

Chen Mu didn't hate this bishop who had to fight with him alone for the sake of believers in this land back then.

The old bishop's gaze behind his glasses paused, and he looked at Bai Yuanjie suspiciously, then at Chen Mu, and said, "This is your country, I want to use your language, Andrea is your son!" ”

The expression on Chen Mu's face became even weirder, when did he have a foreign son?

Huang Cheng hurriedly said: "It's Master Li, in order to go to Luzon to get sweet potatoes, he was able to enter Hong Kong through the priest, so he was baptized, that is his religious name, and the believers call him that." ”

Is it because of picking sweet potatoes for himself, Chen Mu nodded, sharpened his chin and short beard and asked, "What did he do that angered people?" ”

"He goes to church every time he goes to sea to ask God for his blessing, which is good, we go to sea, but he doesn't say that one god is not enough to protect him. He went to Tuen Mun to worship the General's Temple, to worship the Tianfei Temple in Haojing, to worship the Buddha at the Six Banyan Tree Temple in Guangzhou Prefecture, and then to the North Temple of Yuexiu Mountain to worship the long-haired cultivators. said that he was blessed by the gods of the five directions, and everything was fine when he went to sea! ”

"General, this is blasphemy!"
