Chapter Ninety-Three: Sending Troops
The whole of Luzon seems to be writing books when the typhoon is coming.
Chen Mu was writing a book, and he brought back a few boxes of lecture hall textbooks from Guangdong, compiled and revised them, and prepared to make a new book for the little emperor.
Xu Wei was writing a book, he collected the battle reports of the previous naval battles with Xiyi, and summoned all the generals and soldiers who had experienced the war to summarize the laws in the war and compile the book of victorious soldiers.
Yu Shaoyu and others were even writing books, and Chen Shuai's obscenity and silver offensive instantly made these literati with almost no social status willingly write stories that they did not want to sign.
It's not that the story is bad, it's not that they don't write well, it's that the idea is too deliberate.
In Chen Mu's words, money, beautiful women, treasures, adventures, glory, harvests, and victories are used to achieve the results that make people feel broken and open their eyes, even if they are actually mixed with some lies.
The ends are noble, but the means are dirty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the high status was civil officials, but officials were not literati, and those who knew how to govern the country and had a little experience as officials and had a good official reputation were civil officials, what about them? They write a lot of stories and still can't get through their lives.
Therefore, not every Qing Gao literati is willing to do this for a few taels of silver, at least a dozen taels.
Chen Mu gave one hundred taels, and everyone was very happy and full of enthusiasm!
The Chen clan came out in all directions, and the most unpromising was his brother-in-law Yang Zhaolong.
Look at the battle reports sent by others, a letter from Chen Bazhi, Longzao Temple was sunk; Li Dan sent a letter, and the Japanese were subdued; Lin Afeng's letter, the island is encamped, we can build our own 500 pirated shark boats; Lin Daoqian sent a letter to thousands of immigrants from Chaozhou to reclaim land on the island, and next year he will be able to provide for himself.
Yang Zhaolong sent a letter: Brother-in-law, I tamed more than 20 wild dogs in Xinming alone, and I can obey!
Out of breath! Chen Mu could imagine his proud little expression when he looked at the letter.
The letter was sent to Manila, and Yang Qingluan was so angry that he wanted to raise his sword and kill his younger brother in the past.
Taking advantage of the typhoon's passage for more than ten days, Chen Mu finally had the opportunity to rest and look at the achievements of many subordinates, the Luzon Islands were slightly on the right track, and they were going to continue to explore, the first task was to ask Lin Feng to go out and lead the fleet to attack Yang Zhaolong's Manjapahit on the way.
That place is too crucial, it is the only way to immigrate to Xinming, and in the future, the best young officials of the empire will reach Xinming through that route, and there is no room for error in the middle, since it is unstable, occupy it and rule it.
Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Luzon Southern Guard was taken over by Fu Yuan, and Shao Tingda dispatched the 3,000 banner army of the Benwei and went to Borneo by boat to serve as the commander of Borneo, in charge of the training of Borneo and Sulu Six Guard Banner Army, in charge of the Ming merchants between the two countries, and to protect the route to Malacca.
Chen Bazhi's side ordered him to contact Qi Zhengyan, who was going to Kyoto, Japan, and at the same time raise military rations in Hirado with the power of Korean and northern merchants, and establish Hirado as a large camp for the Eastern Expedition to hoard grain, and at the same time unite with Otomo to attack Maori under the banner of Nizi Restoration, if Otomo does not agree, he will first join Matsuura and Shimazu to kill Otomo and then attack Maori.
This strategy didn't work at other times, but this time it was different, and with thousands of capable fighters and able to quickly support the Ming army all along the coast of Kyushu, it was not too simple to break the balance of power in one region.
In the case of two weak and one strong are evenly matched, whoever is said to be destroyed will not live long.
After the rainstorm, Chen Mufa's fleet delivered the news to Chen Bazhi and sent Magui to Hirado Island, while Ni Shangzhong and Yi Sunsin each led six military ships and four grain ships, and combined 20 ships from Hirado Island to the east to Kuwu Island, and asked Chen Bazhi to give Magui possible help.
Kuwu Island, which was later Sakhalin Island, sent Magui to restart the three guards of Kuwu Island.
In the tenth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty set up Nangharwei in the north of Kuwu Island, the central Boluo River Basin, and the eastern Wulie River Valley.
But even if the Ming Dynasty has jurisdiction over Kuwu Island, it is not easy to restart the three guards, and the Nurgan Dusi has been abolished for nearly one hundred and forty years, and the time without jurisdiction is longer than the time of jurisdiction, and it is not appropriate to let those two young generals do it.
They hadn't fought before, and they were far from Chen Bazhi. But Japan's affairs are related to Yinshan, Chen Bazhi can't leave, and most of the things over there need the help of the Li family.
Sending Ni Shangzhong and Li Sunchen to go, just to follow the exercise, to reset the guard, that will make the local people willing or not, if the prestige of the Ming Dynasty is not good, you have to fight, if you really want to fight, you have to rely on Ma Gui.
Take Kuwu Island, reset the three guards, and then go south to take Ezo, hold the strait, and set up another garrison point.
Chen Mu found that this year's Nanyang Yamen was really a source of soldiers, the typhoon passed, the whole Luzon was raising food and grass for Chen Luan's expedition, repairing the warships damaged by the typhoon, and Liu Xian, the governor of the Chinese military in Nanjing, sent a letter to him, the southern Sichuan rebellion, unable to attack for a long time, looking for him to borrow troops.
Chen Mu received the letter and jumped to his feet angrily, and in the opinion of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is just idle and has nothing to do to play, and after eating and practicing tens of thousands of troops, he is not comfortable if he doesn't work, and he also went to Lao Tzu to borrow troops.
What can Chen Mu say, of course he won't borrow it!
The affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, what does it matter to the Governor's Mansion of Nanyang?
The dignified donkey race is fighting, is it possible to run to the roots of the Great Wall to find Qi Shuai to borrow people and horses?
He also told Yang Qingluan about this, and said bad things about Liu Xian behind his back, but Yang Qingluan broke the sky.
Where is the Nine Silk Barbarian Rebellion in Southern Sichuan, it is the generation of Xingwen and Juexian in southern Sichuan, next door to Banzhou. Liu Xian served as the chief military officer of Sichuan at this time, and this battle began in March, mobilizing 140,000 officers and troops to attack Jiusi City.
Although there are many troops, the officers and soldiers are not easy to use, Chen Mu knows this too well.
Wasn't it the same when he beat Li Yayuan in the early years, Wu Guifang also sent 100,000 troops with great momentum, what's the use, there are only a few thousand people who really fight with the thieves, and others say that they are chasing and intercepting, and they are stupid.
Who will be relied on to quell the unrest in Sichuan?
Toast.
The Tusi soldiers can fight more than the official army, and they are the ones who rely on the hard battles and waves, or Yang Yinglong will look down on the Sichuan officers and soldiers, and he will come by himself to eat and take cards, and he will work hard for others to go, so under normal circumstances, this matter is not allowed in Banzhou.
But what's the problem, Yang Yinglong wanted to find a brother-in-law for himself in the name of his father, and the first one to find was not the donkey race, but Liu Xian, and he didn't talk about it before he found his brother-in-law to find him.
With this matter, Ying Long's careful eyes can fight Liu Xian with all his heart?
"It was Ying Long who didn't contribute, so Liu Zongbing asked his husband to borrow troops, and his husband borrowed soldiers, and Ying Long contributed."
Chen Mu pondered like this, this soldier really had to be borrowed, he clapped his hands and said: "In this way, I will send Qi Mai to go, without bringing soldiers, the battle merit of leading soldiers will be regarded as Liu Nanchang's." Let him go to Banzhou to bring some gifts to Yue Laozi, and also bring a letter to Ying Long, and recruit two or three thousand people on the spot, and then the battle achievements will be counted as the Banzhou army - Hmph, these days, no one in the whole world dares to be greedy for my war achievements. ”
