Chapter 36 Overseer
Later, Chen Mu understood what supported Bai Yuanjie to dare to drastically implement his own reforms that affected five hundred households in Qingyuanwei, because the governor of Liangguang was changed last year. The name of the new governor was well-known in the southeast at that time, perhaps the southeast could never avoid the name Qi Jiguang during the late Jiajing and early Longqing periods of the Ming Dynasty, because the current Liangguang Governor is also a man standing behind Qi Jiguang - Tan Lun, who was called 'Tan Qi' with Qi Jiguang in the southeast anti-Japanese war.
Where Tan Lun is, Qi Jiguang will lead the Qi family army.
Since Tan Lun is now the governor of Liangguang, it means that Qi Jiguang, a well-known hero in later generations, is also here. However, even if Tan Lun was here, Chen Mu still thought that Bai Yuanjie's military affairs at this time were also risky. Because this year's Spring Ministry of Labor recommended Tan Lun, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang to Wu Shilai to train the soldiers of Jizhen in the north in Lingnan, once Emperor Longqing allowed, they will all be transferred to the north, and who will protect Bai Yuanjie at that time?
What's more, Chen Mu knew that in the near future, Qi Jiguang would indeed lead his troops north to Jizhen to train his troops.
Chen Mu, the new general bannerman, wanted to find an opportunity to see General Qi's demeanor, but ...... He's got a mess to settle on.
There is no yamen in the general banner, and Bai Yuanjie does not plan to build another yamen in the ruins of the thousand households in Qingcheng burned by the Japanese invaders, because the hundred households above Chen Mu's head will never take office, and the hundred households to which Chen Zongqi belongs are only him, the general banner and the military households under his command, and no one else.
It means that although he is named General Banner, his real power is no different from the previous Baihu Bai Yuanjie.
This is the reason why Bai Yuanjie let his banner army cultivate fifty hectares of land, and there is no more left in the hundred households.
It doesn't matter if there is no yamen, after the beginning of spring, Anyuan Post Station ushered in a busy period of time, but in just half a month, Lianzhou handed over the documents and delivered almost, Chen Zongqi did not take himself as an outsider and drew a piece of land in Anyuan Post Station as his temporary residence 'General Banner Yamen'.
It's not true that as Bai Yuanjie said, he is greedy for enjoyment, and likes to eat and live for nothing. This kind of thing is far from being 'enjoyable' in the eyes of the soul after 400 years, and he gives money. The reason why I live here temporarily is because the big rock cave discovered by Shao Tingda seven miles away is not far from the forest, and the military households under Chen Zongqi are cutting wood to build houses and build their own villages.
Since the Qingcheng Thousand Households and Bai Yuanjie talked about it, Chen Mu always had a headache.
"Put the basin down and wash your face myself!" Wei Balang, who had a flag on his back, was ordered to be cautious, put down the copper basin for washing his face, and stood next to him with the front handle of the sword inserted obliquely on his waist, like a loyal little guard, but he was pulled in front of him by Chen Mu pinching his face, and said helplessly with a rigid face: "Wei Xiaogui, you are now a small flag, do you know, if you serve Chen like this, you will be laughed at, how can you command ten military households under it?" ”
Wei Balang was promoted to Xiaoqi, which is about the biggest headache for Chen Mu recently.
Chen Mu didn't expect Bai Yuanjie to want to carry out the military household reform in Qingyuanwei, not to mention that even if he knew that he had no say in this matter, Bai Yuanjie really affected him. Bai Yuanjie really reported the exploits of killing the Japanese Kou, about his Chen Mu Xiaoqi's exploits were not erased at all, Chen Mu was of course grateful to Bai Yuanjie, but the problem was that in addition to his own first-level merits, there were a few more than the promotion of the general banner in exchange for silver, and all the gains under his command were actually awarded by Bai Yuanjie.
As a result, all those under his command who had the first rank of the Japanese were promoted to Xiaoqi.
Shao Tingda won't say it, if Chen Mu has a choice, he will definitely be promoted to Xiaoqi, which is exactly what Chen Mu wants; Shi Qi and Fu Yuan were a little bit different, but they were loyal enough to him, whether it was a dog-headed military advisor or a rooster and a dog thief, he could barely be called a little 'talent', and he could help manage the broken military households.
Wei Balang, what's going on with this little flag that has just turned fourteen? That's right, Xiao Hachiro got a head and stabbed to death a real widow who knelt on the ground to ask for mercy with a gun, but this stupid kid can't control the ten old fritters under his command at all!
Don't look at Xiao Hachirou standing majestically with a sword on his shoulder, but in front of his own bannermen, after all, he is a child who is only fourteen years old and mentally young, and he has not been played around by those bannermen!
Well...... Now the ten bannermen are following Yu Ding to build a house, and under the order of Chen Zongqi, the hard work of carrying logs and smashing wooden stakes has been thrown to them to do, and the small banner Lou Qimai has been specially dispatched to supervise the work.
Lou Qimai is the only one of the five small flags under Chen Mu who was not his own before, he also won a head in the war war, or he took a head with five people, but Bai Yuanjie didn't look down on the military households who won the head with him, so he gave him this credit, and now he is promoted to a small flag.
He was one of the six firecrackers under Chen Mu's command by Bai Yuanjie in the previous battle, and the other few people retreated in a panic when they were about to fight, only he squatted in place and put the guns, and then the firecrackers exploded and lay on the bed for this winter.
Although he escaped his life from the explosion, Lou Qimai's face was ruined, his nose was cut in half by a piece of iron, and several hideous and terrifying scars were pierced on his face. Because of this, his efficiency in supervising the work is better than that of the reckless Shao Tingda! As long as he appeared on the construction site, he didn't have to speak, and Yu Ding's movements around him were sharp.
In the field outside the post station, there would be a sound of a series of guns every few moments, that is, the new Xiaoqi Shiqi and Chen Mu's ten subordinate guns were practicing, or the sound of crisp or dull bird guns was endless, and now Chen Mu has fourteen bird guns under his command.
In addition to the first one that belonged to Chen Mu and the one that belonged to Chen Mu, the warcraftsman Guan family father and son repaired the earliest one and made a new bed in winter. Later, after using the moon, Chen Mu privately purchased forty catties of Fujian wool iron from the guard office to make a gun pipe, and drill out a smooth and straight gun chest.
Later, the second homemade bird gun had just finished the barrel and had not yet begun to drill, so Bai Yuanjie knew about it. Bai Deputy Qianhu acted generously, and directly allocated ten bird guns and three barrels of nearly 100 catties of gunpowder and lead pills to Chen Mu from the Qingcheng Qianhu Office for him to practice. But everything has a price, Bai Yuanjie tasted the sweetness of the long sickle and rice bed made by Chen Mu last autumn, and asked him to exchange it for the farm tools needed for spring planting, no farm tools, no bird guns.
For this reason, Chen Zongqi could only meditate hard, and convened his Guan family father and son and several old farmers to study for five days, so he could barely make a hand-cranked wooden cart to sow rice seeds, of course, he did not forget the wooden poke in front of the wooden cart and the wooden stamp of the plough, although the efficiency may not be comparable to the most advanced agricultural tools in the Ming Dynasty, but it is undoubtedly the best in Qingyuan. Seeing that the spring ploughing was more than a month away, the Guan family, father and son, were busy working on this big object, and after making a borrowed buffalo and trying it, they hurriedly sent it to Bai Yuanjie with the drawings, and then rushed to the second one in Anyuan Station - spring ploughing is coming, and Chen Junye himself still has 5,000 acres of land to sow and cultivate.
I can't wait.
Chen Mu took Wei Balang to inspect the construction site for a while, and then heard someone riding a stagecoach to report that Shao Tingda was back, Chen Zongqi quickly pulled down the rider and got on the horse by himself, and galloped along the ridge road in the field towards Anyuan Station.
As soon as he entered the post house, he heard Shao Tingda complain nervously, "Brother Mu! If there is such a valuable thing, don't let me go, I don't dare to sleep on the road, for fear of being hurt by thieves! You said what are you buying this thing for, you can't eat it or use it, give it to you. ”
As he spoke, Shao Tingda took out a small cloth package from his arms, and Chen Mu hurriedly took it carefully, opening it with full eyes!
