Chapter 80: Preparation
When Chen Mu has several roads in front of him, he will always choose the most difficult one, many people in the world are like this, it seems that there are infinite possibilities in the road ahead, but in fact, everything was doomed at the beginning, but in fact, there was no choice.
Since he has no choice for a long time, Chen Mu hopes that the people around him can have some choices, choosing what they want to do rather than what they should do.
The carriage dragged no faster than a single horse, not to mention the accompanying female dependents, General Zhenshuo and his entourage of more than ten people went to Xuanfu through Changping Yuhe Station, resting when they were tired on the road, sleeping when they were tired, and when they arrived at Xuanfu without hurry, the recovery training of the battalion and flag army at the end of the first month had begun.
Twenty miles outside the east gate of Xuanfu, Chen Mu was greeted by Hu Liangpeng, who introduced each other to Zhao Shizhen, a new recruit, and then listened to Hu Daxiong report on the military affairs of Xuanfu in the first month.
"In the first month, the flag army practiced on the fifth day, and the military affairs were lax like a new pawn, but it benefited from the coal matter, and the entire flag army of the Wanquan Division had a good year." Hu Liangpeng said this, released the cavalry to send the police for General Zhenshuo's chariots and horses, and said: "General Deng and the two general soldiers summoned the Che Battalion and the cavalry battalion to practice in the Xuanfu Sanwei University after the New Year, but they failed to come to greet them. ”
Chen Mu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Chen doesn't like this either, as long as you can train usable soldiers, thank you for your hard work...... What is the coal market like in Xuanfu? ”
With the Dong brothers and the second general Deng Hu, the degree to which the Xuanfu military affairs have been maintained in the past is not a problem, but what makes him more concerned is the honeycomb coal that was negotiated with the emperor a few years ago, and how many shovels are sold?
The story of Shuntianfu made Chen Mu have a new understanding of trading in this era and the royal business, he himself didn't expect that giving people a shovel would earn tens of thousands of taels a year, and that was just Shuntianfu.
What about Xuanfu?
"I always know about those things, I don't dare to make claims, the people who received the letter have long been waiting in the Zhenshuo General's Mansion, they have talked to the internal officials sent by the imperial court, and they can't make up their minds, and now they are just waiting for the general to go back and make a decision, not only the Xuanfu."
Hu Liangpeng shook his head as he spoke, looked left and right, and then said extremely cautiously: "It's Xuanfu and the whole of Shanxi, as well as Ning, Gansu, Shandong, and Jianghuai." ”
Chen Mu paced forward and suddenly stopped, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Hu Liangpeng, and said in surprise: "So big? ”
"The stalls opened by the Wang and Zhang families and the internal officials, they want to make it possible for the world to have salt wherever there is coal."
As soon as Hu Liangpeng said Wang and Zhang, Chen Mu knew why he could spread the stall so big, this is the head snake of today's Jin merchants, Wang is Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, and Zhang is Zhang Siwei from the Ministry of Rites this year, saying that it is two, but it is actually one.
Zhang Siwei's mother is Wang Chonggu's sister.
Chen Mu bowed his head on the horse, and then hit the horse and continued to walk, but he didn't walk into the avenue of the city again, turned in the direction of the three guards of Xuanfu, and Hu Liangpeng hurriedly said: "The general is not going back to the house?" People are still waiting in the Zhenshuo General's Mansion! ”
"Junxiong took the carriage and horses back to settle down, and brought the businessmen and internal officials to the three guards of Xuanfu, Chen saw them there, and it was inconvenient for the yamen and the family to talk about it." Chen Muce Ma explained a few words to Yan Qingyao and Long Junxiong, and said to Hu Liangpeng: "Let's go, go and watch the generals train their troops!" ”
It's not that Chen Mu wants to put on a score or anything, since he heard Hu Liangpeng say that Deng Zilong and the Dong brothers practiced in the school field, Chen Mu decided not to go home and go to see it first. Although the Chinese New Year is a holiday, in the eyes of others, he went to Beijing to have a happy life, and the first thing he should do when he comes back is of course to see the soldiers under his command.
As for letting the businessmen's leaders and internal officials go to the camp to find themselves, this is not a show, it should be.
This is not a business negotiation in later generations, in this era, he is the greatest in his sole responsibility, not to mention that even if he is not in full charge, he is also the greatest.
Who is he?
There are only about a hundred people in the world who can directly call him General Zhenshuo in the book, and the rest must be called by his full name, and he has to be called this:
Qincha Zhen guarded Xuanfu, the local general army, Wan Quan, commanded the envoy, the prime minister, the military affairs town, and General Shuo Chen.
He can be visited by Corporal Lixian, but even if others come to him through mountains and rivers, he should be.
On the way to the campus of Xuanfu Sanwei University, Chen Mu finally read the letter from Bai Yuanjie from Nanyang Weigang last year, which said that hundreds of Jinyi Wei arrived in Nanyang and went to sea to visit Malacca, Chen Mu smiled.
This made him happily take out two taels of silver from Hu Liangpeng's waist and throw them to the rider who delivered the letter, and asked him to take them to invite people to drink and have fun.
Hu Liangpeng watched Chen Mu very skillfully touch the silver from his waist and throw it out to reward people, his mind rested, and he saw Chen Mu patting him on the shoulder and laughing on the horse, but he didn't know what the reason was.
What else could it be, by mistake, this became the biggest good thing for Chen Mu to go north!
"General Hu, have you ever seen a battle with the people of the East and West?"
Whether it was him, Deng Zilong, Bai Qiyi or those sergeants who walked from the south to the north, they have been learning and absorbing the northern tactics almost frantically in the past six months, because they know that one day they will meet with the northern captives, and the north is the battlefield of chariots and horses, and they are all novices.
Even if Chen Mu brings long cannons, this may change the pattern of warfare in the north to a certain extent, but the key chariot will not change.
Even if the government and the opposition are talking about peace, they still can't turn a corner, or they don't need to turn a corner at all, and the fools all think that the purpose of negotiating peace is to fight again, and at the level of guerrilla generals, their understanding is clearer that the purpose of negotiating peace is to take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize their troops and horses, and to achieve the goal of not fighting by being able to fight and daring to fight.
Hu Daxiong was thinking about how to clean up those northern captives who didn't look as fierce as him on the battlefield, Chen Mu suddenly asked him here if he had fought with the Eastern and Western Yiren, Hu Liangpeng replied mechanically almost without using his brain: "My subordinates have fought with the Japanese Invaders several times, but they have never fought with the Westerners. ”
"There will be a chance, General Huh! You just need to be ready, and when the time comes, you will make a comeback south with Chen Mu, once you go south, we will not face a small fight on the shore, nor a simple ship jumping to help fight the battle or defeat. ”
"That's a naval battle that is determined by strong ships and artillery, and the full-screen car ride on land shows its majesty!" Chen Mu spread the reins on the horseback, controlled the horse with his legs alone to show off the riding skills he had honed for several years, and struck each other with his fists in front of his chest: "That will be far away from Fujian and Guangzhou, country to country, and fight against each other in our new continent, hahaha!" ”
Chen Mu knew that from the time Jinyiwei went to the South Seas, it was decided that the Ming Dynasty would be involved in another war that would bring wealth or jade. When those flying fish and bulls bring intelligence back to Malacca and the New World further west for the Forbidden City, the thrifty emperors, the hard-working cabinet ministers, and the Manchu dynasty and the world Zhaoli - who can refuse this feast that devours the world?
The big thing he wanted to do was finally no longer alone, and he was finally no longer a lone soldier who tried his best to win over the coastal defense soldiers, unite the southeast maritime merchants, and help the giants in the sea!
The protracted war in my heart that has turned the pattern upside down will eventually come.
When no one in the whole world knew what would happen next, Chen Mu watched his majestic army in the Xuanfu School Yard in the humerus of the Ming Empire in East Asia, rubbing his fists and trying to show his sharp fangs.
He's preparing, he's been preparing for a long time!
