There are not many treasures and goods transported from Nanyang, but they are packed up in half a day, Chen Mu is not in a hurry to summon the messenger, just let him rest for half a day, bath and change clothes to wash away the dust.

The banquet held in the side hall of the yamen that night did not talk about maritime affairs, but just let them rest well and sleep enough to recuperate.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Liandou was asked to beat the yamen drum and for the first time to report to the generals of the Beiyang and Oriental ministries and the officials of the Beiyang branch of the six ministries to enter the yamen.

Generals at all levels wore official uniforms, scarlet robes, green robes and green robes were mixed, each decorated with birds and beasts, and Chen Mu also changed into a long-lost crimson python robe, which was full of well-dressed beasts.

The only one of the participants wearing regular clothes was Deng Zilong, who followed the Beijing transport ship from Nanyang to Beiyang, who had just become the chief military officer last year, and led the Yunnan military town three Xuan and six comforts, because of the poor handling of things and Liu Wei had an awkward quarrel, the two battalions of soldiers fought, originally this kind of big crime was to be punished by two people, Liu Xian could not speak, fortunately there was a high arch from the middle, the military department dismissed the two, and the soldiers and horses were handed over to Liu Xian as commander.

Nanyang couldn't stay, and it was not a matter to be idle, Deng Zilong went to Beiyang with the ship after asking Gao Gong for instructions, and went to Chen Mu in disgrace.

Originally, the imperial court was bound to fight forty boards each, regardless of the cause, the generals of the imperial court led the troops to fight together, and they also started a military battle, almost even artillery and rockets had to be used, and if something happened, the military power must be returned, but in the final analysis, both sides themselves are at fault, and Liu Wei's grievances are still relatively large, so the soldiers and horses will be handed over to Liu Xian's people to command.

Although it is a local army, it can be regarded as a central army compared to the joint battalion of the Zong Fan Army led by Deng Zilong.

Chen Mu listened to Deng Zilong's complaints from thousands of miles away, and was so angry that he sneered one after another: Don't blame any of you, it's a trivial matter for soldiers to fight in groups, who let your soldiers take shields and sticks to make mandarin ducks array? Don't blame people for throwing long targets and shooting poisonous crossbows.

What is the Mandarin Duck Formation? The anti-riot squad of the police in later generations can still see a little shadow of the mandarin duck array thinking, they are all well-trained soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who can stand this thing to fight.

This is self-inflicted, and it also made more than 2,000 vassal troops in Nanyang change their doors and become the border guards of Yunnan, but Chen Mu doesn't think this is a bad thing, Deng Zilong has learned his own lesson, and the court has also collected more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the most tricky thing has not fallen into his own hands.

As for the lack of troops in Nanyang, it is enough to recruit them again, and it is still easy to recruit the army of the Nanyang Sect at the moment.

On the Yamen, Deng Zilong had no official or position, so he could only stand on the side of the hall wearing a cuirass and a waist knife as a guard.

In the hall, Chen Mu sat on the top with a golden knife, and the Beiyang Guard Officers and Military Generals sat on the left and right, and now there are few such seating patterns in various departments of the imperial court except for the Yamen Shengtang, usually the first place is two main and guest seats, and the following is accompanied by two columns, even if the guest seats are empty, it does not seem so depressing.

Chen Mu deliberately arranged the seating arrangement of the marshal's lecture today, he glanced at the officials, raised his hand and said, "Two things." ”

"The imperial court has been surging recently, and your colleagues from the six ministries must know it, Chen only said it once."

Chen Mu didn't plan to mention it, but now that the news of Zhang Juzheng's father's serious illness is getting more and more intense, the officials who have been suppressed by Zhang Juzheng over the years and offended are moving around, and they are even ready to set aside the chaos and punish him after Zhang Juzheng steps down.

Now Beiyang can be said to be a group of sages and talents to have everything, to have talents, to have money, to have soldiers and horses, to rush to this moment to prepare for the expedition, he does not want to have any accidents.

Looking around at the Beiyang colleagues with different expressions, he raised his right hand on the arm of the sandalwood chair and said: "It's best not to wade into this troubled water, whether there are personnel changes in the imperial court or not, they have nothing to do with the Beiyang monarchs. ”

"We will report to the emperor and respond to the people, in order to set the general trend of the world in the next few decades and hundreds of years, so that the world will be known to the Ming Dynasty, and even more so that the Ming Dynasty will be known to the world!"

"How big are America and Europa, you have all seen the map of the world, even if the Ming Dynasty can only dominate three points, wait for you for a hundred years, and your descendants will proudly call my ancestor the Great Ming Pillar Country!"

"If you seek loyalty and filial piety to the country, the east is the place where you should go; Those who seek fame will leave their names in history; Those who seek official residence are a product of official residence; Those who seek wealth have a lot of wealth. ”

"At this time, the situation may not be really turbulent, but the general trend of the world is an opportunity that has not been seen in a thousand years, and it may only be comparable to the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. Chen said today that he will not mention this matter again in the future, and if he wants to be busy standing in line to get the qualifications for promotion, I will not stop him. You are all older than Chen, Chen will not be arrogant and say to you that you will do it yourself, but I hope that all the gentlemen will remember - to seek benevolence and be benevolent. ”

Those who should be reminded have been reminded, Chen's words are mainly to the directors of the six Beiyang sub-bureaus, and the generals dare not jump out in these matters, not to mention that the north and south lecture martial arts have their own military traditions, they know that they are trained to go out of the fortress and the sea, and they are not interested in the personnel turmoil in the country.

They are the generals of the new army, and there is only one place that really concerns their vital future, Beiyang.

There is no one in the world who does not attach importance to the new army, but not every place has such a supporting subordinate who is handy for them to train for them, only in Beiyang, they can be handy with what they have learned, and only in Beiyang can they fight.

After finishing speaking, Chen Mu didn't care about the uncertain faces of others, raised his hand and said: "Jun Zan must have cultivated his spirit at this time, please report what you have seen and heard on this trip to the six departments." ”

The Jun Zan in his mouth, named Yang Tingxiang, was an envoy who accompanied Tang Juan to Spain.

A native of Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian, he was born as a craftsman, and he was also transferred to Nanyang three years ago, and his results have been ranked lower in the same year, with the 66th in the Fujian Township Examination, the 141st in the General Examination, and the 180th in the top 3 Jinshi.

With his results, unlike those who can enter the Hanlin Academy at the beginning, the first choice is to serve as a big county or a small county commander, but at this time, if you are lucky, you can enter the six departments to do a seven-grade thing, and then you have to look at the creation.

In the first year when Yang Tingxiang was assigned to follow Zhang Yuanchen and others to Manila, he followed Hai Rui to any small county near the city of Banshilan, and served for only half a year.

He is the first Jinshi student in the North and South Lecture Martial Arts Hall, majoring in the warship department and minoring in the weapons department, even if he did not lose the technical knowledge brought to him by his background, he can memorize 120,000 words and classics to obtain the top three Jinshi of the Ming Empire in 100,000 miles, learn the naval military, Nanyang, Portuguese, and Xiyi Several languages such as exploring the bag and taking things, and when the semester expires, he will graduate with a full class.

In the year of graduation, it was just in time for the Ming and Western Negotiations and the signing of the Treaty of Lend-Lease of Seville in Nanjing, and there was no one in the world who was more suitable to be an envoy than him-like the honor of Ban Chao to the Western Regions, and was easily captured by Yang Tingxiang, who was sent to Nanyang.

This year, Yang Tingxiang, who was known as the writer and martial arts, was thirty-one years old, standing proudly in the main hall of the Beiyang Yamen, and bowed to his colleagues in the hall.
