Chapter 104: Becoming a God

Acosta waited for two days, but he didn't wait for the terms of the contract that Chen Mu promised to send him.

Not to mention him, a Spanish monk, even the people of the village and the middle- and lower-ranking generals had not seen Chen Mu for two days after the arrival of Duke Alva's messenger.

The mourning hall is still there, and the wounded barracks are still there, but Chen Mu just worships and visits the wounded soldiers on time every day, and he doesn't appear at the port at all.

Acosta was very curious about the secret whereabouts of the commander of the Ming army, and according to his observations, Chen Mu summoned dozens of people every day to enter the port yamen, which was not very spacious, and they were all low-level officers, and they were not like discussions, because there were always people in the middle who left the yamen in a scattered manner.

However, it is impossible not to be unimportant about what is going on in the yamen, because there are only two things that can make these low-ranking officers leave, either to go to the wounded barracks or to eat, and sometimes their subordinates go directly into the yamen to deliver food, and they will return to the yamen after visiting their subordinates in the wounded barracks.

In Acosta's eyes, the officers of the Ming army drilled too hard into the wounded barracks, let alone see it, or even heard of an army with such low-level officers as the Ming army caring for the wounded soldiers.

The monk was very touched by the unwavering affection between the low-ranking generals of the Ming army and the soldiers under them—these men ran to the wounded barracks almost every day, and visited their men every day, and with such low-ranking officers, it did not seem strange that the Ming army had burst out in battle.

What Acosta didn't know was that there were strict rules in the Beiyang Military Law for flag officers to visit wounded soldiers.

The flag army was wounded, and the main and deputy small flags and the three officers of the flag were accompanied by three shifts a day and night, and the main and deputy general flags visited once a day, the main and deputy hundred households visited once every two days, and the main and deputy thousand households visited once every three days, and each visit above the small flag was not less than one moment.

As for Chen Mu, the chief soldier, the commander, and the officers who did not lead the troops, they visited the wounded soldiers under their command once a day.

In addition to requesting leave from Zhao Shizhen, who was approved by the adjutant in command, the adjutant in command of the affairs was to be fined half a month for the first violation of the order, 30 days for repeated violations of the military stick, and three times within nine days for violating the order.

The low-ranking officers of the Ming army that Acosta saw were propaganda officers, not officers, to be precise, unless the small flag and the deputy flag were killed or could not command during the war, they would have the right to command the remaining flag troops of the small banner to fight, but in terms of treatment, they were higher than the salary of the main banner.

Chen Mu has to do a big thing.

"As far as the army is concerned, religion is a powerful medicine in addition to military discipline and punishment, but in Beiyang, you are not allowed to believe in religion during your lifetime, and you must pass on this order on my behalf to the army so that they can know."

Bear...... Not allowed to be religious?

It sounds like the standard has been relaxed, but can it still be believed after death?

The handsome man will fool people with this!

The preaching officials were humble and light-hearted, but they didn't dare to speak when they heard Chen Mu's obviously illogical words, but the old madman Xu Wei applauded and said: "We were born imprisoned in this shell, and our souls are free after death, so handsome!" ”

Chen Mu glanced at Xu Wei, sometimes it is good for someone who is too smart to be crazy, after all, you don't know that he is laughing at you and that sentence is really crazy, so even if you know that he is laughing at you, you can still calmly think that he is talking crazy.

For example, this Xu Wei, he knows everything Chen Mu has been doing quietly in the past two days, and he is still painting on a large piece of paper in the yamen at this time, and the painting is the painting that Chen Mu is now giving to a group of preachers, and there is a line of small characters on the unfinished painting, Chen Mu can't see it clearly.

"There are two main things in the past few days, one is that in the past, although the preaching officer received two military salaries, but if he made a meritorious service and was promoted to the flag officer, he did not do much preaching, and the princes fulfilled their duties, which is unfair, so in the past two days, we have formulated an official position to rise, and in the future, the small flag preaching will be renamed as the small flag guidance, and after the meritorious service, the general flag will be directly raised to guide, and then the guidance of 100 households, the guidance of 1,000 households, and the command and teaching."

"Not only to supplement the culture of the officer's care and life, but also to specialize in the courage, will and culture of the flag army and officers in the future, you must let every one of my brothers in the flag army who died bravely know what he is fighting for."

"It's not just about being a soldier, eating salaries, getting promoted to officials, and making a fortune for yourself. The money is used to support the family, so it is for the parents, wives and children; If the enemy is overseas, he does not have to be killed or injured by the pirates, that is, he is for his father and fellow villagers; It is natural to be trained to kill the enemy and be loyal to the emperor, and it is a unique step in the world for the Ming Dynasty, and it is loyal to the monarch and patriotic; No one can turn a blind eye to the suffering of the colonies, and liberate them so that all people can live in a better world. ”

While Chen Mu was talking, there were pro-soldiers who handed out paper for each preaching, the printing house in the port village was too small, and at present, these papers were still manuscripts, which were hand-copied by scribes such as Zhao Shizhen and Zou Yuanbiao, but fortunately, they all used imperial examination calligraphy, and they were all printed when written, which was also good-looking.

Seven points are clearly written on the paper: self, home, country, country, world, and life and death.

"Sheng, Chen will equip each flag army with the most sophisticated weapons and armor, and will also take you to attack the most ferocious enemy, so that the flag army will know that Beiyang is the top army in the world; I won't leave anyone with the slightest regret when I die. ”

"In this battle, many brothers Chen died in a foreign country, and there will be people killed in the future, in addition to the salary, Chen will also find a home for each dead brother - Chang Ji put the picture down."

As soon as Chen Mu's voice fell, Zhao Shizhen, who was standing behind him, pulled down the wall hanging map, which was a clear map of the New World, on which all the land was marked with three colors.

Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed to the Portuguese lands on the south and east side, the West Indies and Potosí, and said, "In addition to this, this, and these three places, it is the land I plan to claim from Spain on the agreement. ”

"But they won't agree to this, so it's okay, this, this, and let it be given to them."

Chen Mu then pointed to the north of Panama, the south of Mexico City, the south of Lima to the northwest of Poto, and the broad coastline of the north and east, and said: "I have been calculating for the past two days that there should be more than 5,000 villages and 4,000 mountains in such a large land. ”

"If you can build 5,000 city god temples, 8,000 land temples, and five gods in a temple, there will be 65,000 gods.

Chen Mu said as he took out a letter from the table and handed it to Zhao Shizhen, "Chang Ji, you can now take my contract to Brother Acosta and send two riders to escort him into Mexico City along the way." ”

"Let's start from the north, every hundred households, every village, in the future, will be dedicated to the fallen flag army, every point of its battle exploits, must be recorded in stone, from my Ming Beiyang command, from life to death, Chen Mou helped everyone think clearly."

Chen Mu took a step forward as he spoke, stopping when he was close to Xu Wei, because he finally saw the small characters in Xu Wei's mural clearly.
