The beginning of the new year.

In the early morning, Manila Bay was woken up by the three bells of the Nanyang Military Mansion Fort Tower.

The fish raft out of the sea slowly rowed across the sea, and the large net caught a sparkling wave; On the top of the high mountain in the west of the bay, the early riser was covered in sweat, looking at the rising sun that was not dazzling and wiping his forehead, the wheels were crushing the gravel beside the aisle, and the twenty-pound heavy cannon from the bottom of the mountain was slowly pushed into the cannon temple.

Beneath the trestle that stretches from the harbor to the bay, the waves crash against the wooden pillars that were nailed to the bottom of the sea last year. The chief standard-bearer, dressed in a green cloth lined with carved cuirass, walked out of the wooden barrier at the head of the bridge with a waist knife, inspected the port and stopped the ship, counted the firearms and medicines, and stood on the bridge with the replacement of the general flag to hand over the defense.

In the distance, near the city of Manila, the camp of the five departments of the Luzon Central Guard has begun the morning exercise, and the firm shouts of the banner army have brought an incomparable sense of security to the people of Macheng.

The prison soldier Chen Ju changed his official costume, led his relatives and followed the eunuch out slowly, and read the edict in a low tone with his hand open.

"Change the yuan, Wanli!"

Words seem to have infinite magic, standing behind Chen Ju Chen Mu handed over the edict to the Luzon King Suleiman, and then the Nanyang Military Mansion headed by Gao Gong of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon officials at all levels got up and bowed down again, like the ripples stirred up by the water of the stone sinking lake, starting from the Yamen of the Nanyang Military Mansion, in the sound of one after another'Changing the Yuan Wanli', the crowd beside the bow road spread to the entire city.

With Chen Ju reading the edict, most of East Asia changed the era name.

Luzon, Sulu, Borneo, Xinming, and even Majapahit, which had just been captured by Lin Feng, and Java, which was under attack, sailed with the ship that carried the message, and all changed the Yuan Wanli.

"Luzon is divided into three prefectures, boundary monuments are set up in various places, and they will be implemented before March, Governor Li and Haigong." Chen Mu raised his hand and said: "The prefect and county officials are selected, and everything is demarcated, how about it?" ”

The governor of Luzon is Li Tao, except for Chen Mu, no one could have imagined that the imperial court would really transfer him to Luzon to be the governor, not even himself. Li Tao's qualifications are shallow, and he is a little higher than Zhang Yuanxi's several Jinshi last year, and now he has come up in the official position, but he still has no power in his hands.

Governor, the army is in front of the government, and next to him sits the Nanyang Military Government, which controls him and takes charge of the military and politics, what other power can he have.

In particular, there is a governor in the Nanyang Military Mansion called Gao Gong, Hai Rui, who can't figure out the grade but holds the authority, and there is a real Luzon king outside the royal city.

Which governor has faced such a complicated situation?

"In Xia and Haigong are planned, Luzon is divided into three prefectures, north of Banshilan City, for Chen Laifu; south of Banshilan City to Manila Bay, it is the royal palace; To the south of Manila Bay is the Eight Wild Goose Mansion. Li Tao arched his hand and said, and accompanied Wu Ben to lay the table table, and he continued: "And I propose to move the Nanyang Military Mansion to Minduluo Island." ”

The Nanyang Military Government moved to Duluo Island?

Chen Mu pressed the matter down first, signaling Li Tao to continue talking about business, Li Tao nodded and said: "Luzon has three guards, each guarding a mansion, and Wangjing Mansion can grow rice and raise heat-resistant horses; The land of Chenlai Mansion is barren, and tobacco and sweet potatoes can be grown; Eight wild goose mansions are planted with coconut and hemp. ”

"In the next recommendation, Zhang Yuanchen is appointed as the prefect of Wang Jing, Zhou Youguang is appointed as the prefect of Chen Lai, and Huang Zhaolong is appointed as the prefect of Bayan.

Gao Gong said: "The matter of Luzon, the appointment of officials is simple, the old man thinks that the three of them can be appointed as the prefect first, and wait next year to see their political achievements, and if they don't agree, they will be abandoned." Gao Gong said and looked at Chen Mu, and waited for Chen Mu to nod before he continued: "Where the political achievements are, just like the sea, the governance of the place, and the other depends on the transportation of assets, and the two cannot be wasted." ”

After that, Chen Mu asked: "What is the significance of the Nanyang Military Government's relocation to Duluo Island?" ”

"Back to Chen Shuai, I am so worried, the military government and the palace live together in Macheng, and now it is still stable, but the military government is in the royal city, and the palace is in the outer city, over time, the two sides are out of harmony, it is better for the military government to move to Minduluo, which is where the gold mine is located, although there are gold kilns on Luzon Island, but it is not as good as Minduluo."

"What's more, the three mansions and three guards, the military and the government are all in my hands, and I just exchange my name for Luzon. In addition, firstly, Mindoro has the advantage of passing through Sulu and Borneo, and secondly, it can also control the overseas land of the country, only Mindoro Island is still too few, and the three islands and Cebu Islands do not belong to Luzon or Sulu, but belong to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Those who benefit from copper, iron, wood and stone should be mined, and without the benefits of copper, iron, wood and stone, they can also be stationed in the fort as land under the rule of the Nanyang Military Government."

Chen Mu nodded and said, "There is no rush in advance, we will discuss it slowly later, and it is feasible to build a mansion in the Minduluo area." This year's priority is divided into internal and external matters. Internally, it is necessary to train the ten guards of the four countries of Luzon, Borneo, Sulu, and Ryukyu; Sailors and shipwrights who plan fixed routes and reward them for inventing useful nautical equipment. ”

"Externally, Lin Fengbu Java is the top priority; For all matters in Japan, according to Gao Zhishi's suggestion, let him ask the Son of Heaven for help and take it to the court for discussion. ”

As soon as Chen Mu's voice fell, Gao Gong took the letter and saluted: "Chen Shuai, there is still a discussion for the lower officials." ”

In fact, it is not easy for Old Man Gao, he is used to being the first assistant, and he suddenly ran to Chen Mu to do things, he was very awkward.

By the way, he has always been a hall of words, so Zhang Juzheng can consult with him, but people like Nanyang obviously don't; Yes, he is accustomed to being the deceased Emperor Longqing to advise, educate, and shelter from the wind and rain, and it is impossible for Nanyang to have an emperor.

Let him treat Chen Mu the way he treats his subordinates, that's impossible, that's his superior; It is even more nonsense to treat the emperor.

The most difficult thing for Gao Ge to learn from the Nanyang Military Mansion was not the unheard of Nanyang things, but how to get along with Chen Mu.

"Gao Gong doesn't have to be polite."

"The lower official still has a discussion" Donkey Race's heart is beautiful!

waved his hand lightly, took the letter, looked at it twice, and nodded one after another, saying: "The operation department has three bureaus under the jurisdiction of the warehouse and the three bureaus of armaments; The Department of Foreign Affairs, under the jurisdiction of the three bureaus of the subordinate countries, the staff and the military affairs; The dispatch department has three bureaus under its jurisdiction: craftsmen, boats, vehicles, and horses. ”

In the planning of the high arch, the Nanyang Military Government set up three divisions and nine bureaus, each bureau set up a separate section, and all functions and powers were in charge of a special person, and hoped that the new capital division in the future would also follow this way, and each bureau would be set up no matter what the situation had a special person to deal with.

If something goes wrong, there are also people who are punished.

"Okay, just do it according to this, way." Halfway through speaking, Chen Mu raised his hand and paused for the letter before continuing: "According to this method, the clipper and the horse will be sent to the Beijing Division, and when the cabinet celebrant is going to wear red, he will do it when he comes back!" ”

Gao Gong looked at Chen Mu, his eyes were full of approval.

Obviously, the Nanyang Military Mansion of the Ming Dynasty has ended its barbaric growth.

The efficiency of work can be unprecedentedly improved, which also makes up for Chen Mu's lack of overall vision and courage, but the same problem is that Gao Gong not only helps Chen Mu do things, wherever he goes, the centralization will follow there.

The efficiency of the military government's deliberations in the future will be very low, and even if the military government completes the discussion, it will take two months at the earliest.
