I am worried about His Majesty's spirit. ”

Under the pergola, Chen Mu sat on a stool without a backrest, shook the plain folding fan twice to dispel the heat, and whispered to his side: "Your Majesty is too strictly restrained, and he actually uses such a thing as the Dagu military parade as an excuse to take leave and not have to study." ”

Sitting beside Chen Mu was the imperial horse eunuch Chen Ju, as early as Chen Mu opened his mouth to speak, the black-toothed men stopped the fan in their palms and retreated into the cabin to the brocade clothes and eunuchs standing on the deck.

The palace is a small world, and the people in the palace pay the most attention to the rules, but Chen Ju waved his hand without saying a word, and in the blink of an eye, there were only four Shenji Battalion bird guns left on the deck, and the four sides stood with guns in a distance.

Needless to say, the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor are the two most powerful departments in the inner court, needless to say, the imperial horse supervisor is in charge of the forbidden army, called raising horses, in fact, in the Forbidden City, when the civil and military officials are unfavorable, the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor can be ordered by the emperor to act on behalf of the emperor, and Chen Ju not only controls the forbidden army at this moment, but also comes back from America and is also the minister of the camp in Beijing, with a high and powerful position.

In other words, if the chief civil servant of the inner court, the chief civil servant, is an extension of the stable rule of the imperial court, the power of the imperial horse eunuch, the military yamen, is very arbitrary, and the arbitrariness depends on the emperor.

However, when the power of the imperial horse supervisor reached its peak, it meant that the foreign court could no longer contain the emperor's personal will, and it also meant that the imperial court was about to collapse.

"That's not something we think about, Jing Haibo thinks too far."

Chen Ju sat on the same stool, threw a rock candy into his mouth, and said: "Your Majesty is smart, it will be fine, we heard that the Beiyang Army will set sail in two and a half months, and we have to make clothes and armor for the emperor's grandfather, and we have to prepare for the big parade, is it too late?" ”

This time, Chen Ju accompanied him, that is, he took the eunuch of Shangyi and the palace military bureau, and was ordered by the queen mother to go to the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau to make armor for the emperor.

"It's enough, before Chen entered Beijing, there was a fleet of ships that set sail for 4,000 miles and hundreds of households, and first transported a batch of baggage over."

It is not difficult to make armor for the emperor, and the military preparations have been prepared for a long time, Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "Thanks to the situation of the waterway you brought back from the return voyage of America, the waterway from Beiyang to the four thousand miles and hundreds of households is very safe, and the one-month voyage from there to Majiagang is the real difficult journey." ”

Chen Ju smiled reservedly, did not accept Chen Mu's praise, and said: "When it is cold, the ten islands and thousands of households in the Heishui Ya Islands are difficult to navigate, even if there is no ice, there will be drifting ice along the way, and you have to be more careful when sailing. ”

"Don't worry, Chen knows." Chen Mu nodded and smiled at Chen Ju: "My staff has already made three route maps, don't worry, instead of worrying about Chen's voyage, it's better to worry that you will get sick if you eat so much sugar!" ”

The reason why they sent a group of baggage fleets to the 4,000 li and 100 households in the first place was to meet the worst outcome, if the weather was too cold, their fleet would probably have the next landing point after passing through the 4,000 li and 100 households, and it might even be any unknown coast in North Asia in Molica, northeast of Majia Port.

The best outcome is naturally for the fleet to arrive at Majia Port safely, but there is also the possibility that the fleet will be separated during the voyage, which has nothing to do with the skill of navigation or not, but the difficulties that will always be encountered, and when the time comes, it is very likely that their fleet will scatter and land on the coast of North Asia, so each small fleet must carry grain ships to prepare for everything during the voyage.

"Chen's family will be sent to Beiyang with the Nanyang Fleet, and the imperial court's supervisors were selected when they set sail?"

Hearing Chen Mu say this, Chen Ju smiled and showed two black teeth, raised his palm and patted his chest, and said: "We will not only serve as the overseer, but this time we will also lead the Beijing Battalion, the Praetorian Guard, the Divine Machine, and the Pure Army into the Amerika, and some of them will go to sea on His Majesty's imperial ship, and the forbidden army will not take risks with you, they will set sail with the baggage fleet that will set sail in late March next year." ”

Forbidden Army?

Chen Mu was shocked when he heard the news, and said, "Why hasn't Chen heard about it?" ”

"Haven't you heard of this? This was discussed between the celebrant overseer and the elder, and we just knew. Chen Ju sighed and said: "The Governor knows that going to America is a matter of hardship and suffering, but making achievements also makes the inner court have a bright face, but Chen Shuai can rest assured, we are not robbing merit in the past, and the boats, staffs, and baggage required do not need to be exhausted in Beiyang." ”

"In the event of a battle, we have our own Beijing camp and janissaries to fight, and the heavy people also have a clean army to fill the position, and we will lead it, and we will not cause you chaos."

Chen Mu waved his hand, he knew what Chen Ju meant, Chen Ju thought he was worried that the forbidden army would hinder him, he asked: "Then in addition to North Asia Melica and the circumnavigation fleet, Xinming Island and the Western Ocean?" ”

"Yes, we have to sail one after another, this is also a stepping point for the vassal king, the overseas situation reported by the Wenchen to the court, and the overseas vassals reported by the Wuchen to the imperial court, now this is the last step, when we see what the overseas looks like, the clan should be transferred overseas."

Chen Mu understood, Chen Ju and his Beiyang this time were not just as simple as making a suit of armor for the emperor, he simply smiled: "What else does Chen want to know, you just say it." ”

Chen Ju smiled and arched his hand towards Chen Mu, and said, "The rest of this matter is up to us, and this time I came here mainly to discuss this matter...... Can the school barracks of the Beiyang Military Government build one more guard? ”

"Build an extra bathroom? Now the two guards take turns to drill is already the most efficient, and if there are more, seventy or eighty thousand troops in five years, where can the imperial court use it? ”

It is not difficult to build a barracks at all, but the difficulty is to recruit another 5,000 recruits, which will be more than 10,000 salaries, not to mention that Chen Mu does not think that more than 20,000 troops can be used.

"It's not that Beiyang recruits another guard, it's that there is an extra barracks, and one more guard can be put into practice, and the imperial court knows that the Beiyang Army is well trained and can fight, and no one in the nine sides of the marshals does not recognize it."

After waving his hand, Chen Ju said with a straight face: "We want to ask the three battalions of the Beijing Division to send 1,000 households each year, and the remaining 2,000 households will be sent to Beiyang by Jinyi and generals in turn to train new tactics to prevent them from slackening and waiting for future wars." ”

Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at Chen Jugao, it was very wise to put forward such an idea!

"This is not difficult, there is only one requirement, in the past few years that Chen has been at sea, the Beiyang Military Government has practiced all the training subjects and training systems of the Flag Army, and no one can change them, even if there is a problem, they must wait for Chen to come back and change them, especially rewards and punishments."

"If you want to practice effectively, you don't waste time and money, and you have to promise me this, otherwise it will be in vain to rotate the exercises."

This is also Chen Ju's original intention, he asked the Beijing camp and the forbidden army to come here to practice, not just to watch Chen Mulai, so he stroked his palms and smiled: "Then it is a word, let's go back and play like this!" ”
