Chen Mu didn't think that he would be a chief military officer, his qualifications were enough to be a chief military officer.

Zhang Han also said that if Guangdong came to war again, he would serve as the chief military officer, but he never thought that he would travel thousands of miles to the north to be the chief military officer.

And he hasn't removed Nanyangwei's official position, Chen Mu feels that this is too mysterious.

What more could he want? Of course, he also did one thing, handed over his son and apprentice to Qi Jiguang, and asked him to discipline Qi Shuai's subordinates.

After staying in the Yamen of the Governor of Jizhen for two days, with the map and required information along the Changping Defense Area, Chen Mu still couldn't figure out why Qi Jiguang, the marshal who killed people, gave his yamen such a cute name.

After leaving the hall and entering the governor's yamen to meet Tan Lun, the atmosphere was very different from that when he met with Qi Jiguang.

Chen Mu's impression of Tan Lun can be described as varied, no matter which one of them is inseparable from two words, Wakou.

As the saying goes, the Jiajing Dynasty had two major difficulties, the difficulty was in the south and the north, the Japanese had been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and in the southeast and the war with the Japanese invaders, the Ming Dynasty emerged a large number of generals who could fight tough battles, headed by Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and Liu Xian, and these three people were Tan Lun's subordinates.

Meeting with Qi Jiguang, because the two have common characteristics, it has completely turned into an arms exchange exhibition, basically Qi Shuai showed himself from firearms such as tiger squats and mines to cold weapons such as wolves and boring handles, pointed out the key points, and analyzed the strength and weakness of the ordnance; General Chen also put up a row of artillery, flint, cuirass, and grenades, and the two practical operators conducted in-depth exchanges in the midst of the artillery fire.

In the end, a consensus was reached and mutual recognition was reached.

Tan Lun is also a practical school, but he is different from Qi Jiguang.

"The general can see Tan, which means that he has been approved by the Qi family, I don't know what kind of official position Qi Shuai has as a guarantee for the general?"

Tan Lun and Chen Mu imagined that they were completely different, and his governor's yamen was also completely different from Zhang Han's yamen, the courtyard was full of military barracks, and the bright weapon racks were wiped and repaired everywhere, and the Zhejiang accent was all Tan Lun's family soldiers.

This is a civil official from a jinshi, who first served as the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, but he has been fighting all his life, like a martial artist more than a literati, his outfit is somewhat similar to Chen Luan, and he is also covered with armor and a wide robe with wide shoulders, his body is not tall but very strong, and he looks at Chen Mu without a smile.

"Back to the military gate, Qi Shuai said that he was humbled as the deputy chief soldier and guarded Changping."

To be honest, Chen Mu didn't understand what Tan Lun meant by this, and he and Qi Jiguang had already explained their own affairs?

"Guarding Changping is Juyong Pass, which is the gateway to Gyeonggi, where all the major wars are located." Tan Lun bowed his head, then waved his hand to let Chen Mu sit down, and continued to ask: "What about your official position of Nanyangwei?" ”

"Because of the combined use of artillery, the lowly position continues to be concurrent."

"Don't claim to be humble, my Ming military is weak, Gayin Wen Tian is martial, and the seventh-grade junior officer can still drive the five-grade military attaché, this matter can be changed overnight, but how can the general have no self-esteem, you are the youngest deputy commander-in-chief, why can't you see the slightest arrogance in you?"

Tan Lun's eyes were staring at Chen Mu, and just when Chen Mu thought it was a test, the governor of Jiliao looked away and asked: "Two hundred recruits, against two hundred Japanese soldiers, five soldiers are coming to the city, what should be the battle?" ”

That's the test.

Chen Mu shook his head, this is a proposition: "If you can not fight, you will not fight, and you will not go out of the fields and the fields will be closed to the fields and destroy the rice walls." ”

"Behind closed doors?"

Tan Lun looked at Chen Mu and didn't answer, and continued to ask: "If there are two hundred old soldiers, complete armaments, and two hundred Japanese soldiers are coming to the city, how can they not be defeated?" ”

Isn't that a problem?

"When I go back to the army, I don't know what I do." Chen Mu raised his face, didn't you ask why he was not arrogant, "If the two hundred old soldiers personally practiced for their humble duties, and they were equipped with guns, they really didn't know how to lose, such a battle - they had never lost." ”

"I know you haven't lost." Tan Lun smiled, patted the book on the table with his hand, and said: "In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, the Japanese soldiers were in Qingyuan, and the general was the small banner of Qingcheng at that time. After the Battle of Xinjiang, against the rebellious army, he was promoted to Xiangshan Thousand Households with his military exploits, and he repelled the Haikou several times. ”

"Ordinary people like you are from this background, being able to become a guerrilla general is already the ultimate in military achievements, and being able to be the commander of the palm print is creative in thought." Tan Lun frowned again as he spoke, and said to Chen Mu: "You sent a telescope to Tan, and I heard that you sent Qi Shuai two guns, will you only send these?" ”

The shadow of the famous tree, in Chen Mu's opinion, he saw Tan Lun for the first time, but in fact, in northern Xinjiang, the name of Chen Mu in Guangdong has long been remembered by many people.

"The battle report of Zeng Yi, Tan was the head of the military department at the time, and he read it all and fought well. After several days of pursuit at sea and great achievements, the telescope must have made a great contribution, right? ”

Tan Lun's speech was very jumpy for Chen Mu, making him a little unsure of what the governor wanted to say, but since he was asked, he had to clench his fists and say: "I can't hide it, the humble initial production of telescopes is to fight ships and artillery at sea, so as to seize the opportunity." ”

"I think that the reason why the Japanese are in the southeast is because our Ming coastal defense is weak, if our ship is strong and the guns are sharp, the Japanese have been destroyed before they reach the shore, so how can there be a Japanese rebellion?"

Tan Lun sat up straight and asked, "The ship is strong?" ”

That's a heretical word!

No matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how good the cannon is, it can't escape the gang - this is the main theme of the East Asian naval war!

"Yes, the ship is strong. I have been practicing ship battles for a long time, all of them are jumping gang fire attacks, but there will be many casualties in each battle, and the experienced sailors are all elites, and the death of one person is still distressed, not to mention that hundreds of people are killed in every battle, why bother? ”

Chen Mu hugged his fists and said: "There are few people in the imperial court who are as good at fighting as a military gate, and courage and discipline can make the sergeants invincible, but if there are better equipment to reduce the number of casualties and enhance the combat power of the elite soldiers with good courage and discipline, isn't this a very good thing?" ”

In his opinion, Chen Mu's words were talking about the advantages of Nanyangwei, but in Tan Lun's ears, it was the meaning of the sword pointing at the Ministry of Industry, because he had heard too many complaints about weapons, everyone knew this kind of thing, but who could do it well?

If he can really do a good job, why should the third battalion of Jizhen buy bird guns from Zhejiang and Fujian and Guangdong to buy artillery?

It's not that Beijing is too implicated, and what is made is not suitable and cannot be returned!

"The general has talent and learning, and Changping has more than 20,000 registered soldiers, how long will it take to train a combatable soldier?"

This is a hard sentence, if it weren't for Chen Mu's homework on Tan Lun's experience on the way to Beijing, he would be able to put himself into the future with one sentence. Tan Lun also asked Qi Jiguang the same thing when he was the prefect of Taizhou, and Qi Jiguang's answer was three years.

In those three years, all the battles in Taizhou were dealt with by the prefect Tan Lun personally, and three years later, the Qi family army was formed, and the attack was unstoppable.

Chen Mu didn't take this stubble at all, and said: "I don't dare to make a promise in the next place, and I will be able to give a reply to the military gate after inspecting the Changping soldiers in seven days." ”

It's a bit of a twist and turn, Wu Guifang checked his cannon, Qi Jiguang asked him to guard Changping for a year, and how did Tan Lun let him train in Changping?
