open sea

Chapter 125 Resolved
Chen Mu is now sure of one thing, this old Governor Zhang really doesn't understand military affairs.

Originally, he thought that the last time he was in the Governor's Mansion, the old man was self-effacing when he said that he only knew water transportation, but now it seems that is not the case.

Otherwise, how could Chen Mu ask such a bitter question?

"Governor asked, I dare not lie a little bit." Chen Mu curled his lips, with an ugly expression on his face, and said, "If the Zeng bandits invaded Guangcheng, the humble official would probably be dead."

If you want to attack Guangcheng by water, you must enter Lingdingyang, which is also the mouth of the Pearl River. One Xiangshan and the other Tuen Mun are two large pincers facing each other across the sea to the south of Guangcheng. Guangcheng.

Overseas, the attack on Tuen Mun before the summer is smooth, and the attack on Xiangshan after the summer is smooth, so if there is a book coming in the second half of the year, most of them will attack Xiangshan first.

The same thing, to Yu Dayou's ears, it's just common sense, no matter whether Chen Mu is fighting or defending when the thief comes, if Zeng Yiben can pass through Xiangshan, then Chen Mu is probably dead.

But in the ears of Zhang Han who doesn't know how to do it, it is that Chen Junye is full of loyalty to the country.

The old man almost waved his old arm and patted his old leg, and shouted: This old man needs a warrior like you!
Zhang Han looked at Chen Mu with more kind eyes under the candlelight, and his tone was much softer, saying: "It's rare to have a guard like you guarding the country for Daming. If there is any difficulty, the old man will definitely solve it for you."

Chen Mu felt a little guilty.

He really didn't mean to die for the country, but this will be a fool to clarify, right?

He glanced guiltyly at the knowledgeable Yu Dayou. Mr. Yu seemed to have entered the state of pretending to be asleep in the governor's office when he first met him. Just close your eyes.

The cooked duck is near his mouth, can he not bite?
Want ships, guns, and armaments?

Chen Mu felt that this was not good. Sooner or later, the Governor would know the relationship between the location of the Xiangshan Guardhouse and the first battle when encountering bandits. Coveting for such petty gains would only spoil the impression.

He arched his hands and said, "The governor has already provided the humble officer with a lot of armaments. Although the guard only has one lucky ship, the humble officer has a way to get two warships, which requires the governor's approval."

Zhang Han frowned, what do you mean by 'getting it'? Hearing this sounds like stealing, but he still said patiently: "Let's listen to it."

Chen Mu briefly told Zhang Han about the barbarian merchants plundering and selling women in the Ming Dynasty, and said: "The humble official wants to detain the barbarian merchant warships after landing in Macau and use them as Xiangshan military ships. I hope the governor will agree."

What he had been thinking in his mind before was to get the warship in his hands first, and then he could just give up one if it couldn't be done.After all, such a good ship and so many cannons are rare in the whole coastal area. It is very likely that he will not be able to keep a single ship on his own.

If the governor in charge of Guangdong's military and political power speaks, the chief military officer will witness that no one in Guangdong and Guangxi can take the warship away from Chen Mu.

Zhang Han obviously didn't care about these two boats. He frowned and said, "Under the imperial court, how can the Fanyi be allowed to be presumptuous and plunder and sell our Ming people? Eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts!"

"You said that the barbarian merchants brought hundreds of troops, are you sure you can take them down? The governor's office gave you the power, and you don't have to interrogate them after you take them down, and you will be executed in Haojing on the spot to clarify the law. Otherwise, those barbarian merchants would think that Haojing is a Outlaw place!"

Zhang Han made a final decision, waved his hand and said: "If you seize the boat, it will belong to your Xiangshan Thousand Households. In addition, Zhifu, you built [-] lucky boats in Hongtang, Fujian, and moored in Haicang on the north bank. Take one."

"At first I thought there were few people in Xiangshan, but now that Chen Erlang has enlisted thousands of households, there are fewer lucky boats!"

Yu Dayou nodded slowly.

Chen Mu almost laughed out loud.

In this way, after the garrison Haojing, his subordinates will have two lucky boats, five fast boats, and two centipede boats?

This is amazing. The two centipede boats are long boats loaded with 38 troops, not to mention the scattered hundreds of small fishing boats. Langji, a salvo of [-] cannons is enough to set up a battle array - within four hundred steps, can the small boats commonly used by pirates stop it?
Although this was far from going to sea to show off his prestige, as long as Zeng Ben dared to come to Guangzhou, biting off Chen Mu would make him bleed.

"Governor, I have one more request from the humble office, can you agree?"

Seeing his happy face, Zhang Han asked with a slight smile, "What else do you want?"

It's so cool to deal with the boss of Dry Water Transport!

However, Chen Mu didn't dare to push forward, and he didn't want anything anymore. He cupped his hands and said, "Xiangshan Thousand Households is facing the sea, and its troops are a little insufficient. Please the governor call Qingyuan Wei Qingcheng Qianhu Station to lead troops to help defend for half a year, in case of pirates."

Of course, Lord Chen Jun would not forget what Zhou Xing was doing, so he gave Shunde Thousand Households a backstab.

"Qingcheng Thousand Households Office? The two provinces are still pushing each other's affairs. The old man transferred you to another Thousand Households Office without a unified superior. Even if you are given the power of temporary restraint, you may control it?"

Zhang Han suffered from the blame of each other, and he never forgot about it. He also wanted to mention something to Chen Mu when he spoke, so he asked, "Who are the Qianhu in Qingcheng?"

Just as Chen Mu was about to speak, Yu Dayou glanced at him, and said to Zhang Han with a somewhat helpless tone: "Who else can it be, Bai Jingchen, when he was the official of the General Banner, Bai Yuanjie from a hundred households in the world."

"He!" Yu Dayou shook his head and smiled, "He is fighting for the old Shangguan!"

That's what Chen Mu meant. Many friends have many paths. He doesn't have many friends, and his big brother Bai Yuanjie counts as one.Left and right have no battles to fight in Qingcheng recently, they were transferred to Xiangshan to assist in the defense, Zeng Yiben didn't come, it was just to eat half a year's food in Xiangshan; if Zeng Yiben came, they would be meritorious!

But he can't say that, gangsterism is not good, and informal leadership with low-sighted bosses is not good.

"Reporting to the governor, it would be best if you can dispatch the Qianhu station nearby." Chen Mu's expression was extremely sincere and composed, and he said, "But as far as I know... Among the guards of the Guangdong capital, only Xiangshan and Qingcheng have enough banner troops gone."

No one has a choice in this matter, the only guards suitable for mobilization are Bai Yuanjie, a thousand households in Qingcheng, and there is no one else besides him.

Zhang Han said with a cheerful smile: "The person who should be used, the person who can be used, if you want to use it, old man Bai Jingchen will know it, and he will be transferred to help you."

"It's a good thing to be able to read and write, but don't just read military books. You are still young, you have to learn more, see more, do more. You don't hesitate to fight, but you can survive. Don't be reckless." Zhang Han looked at Qi Jiguang's military books on the felt and stood up. Then he said: "When the warship arrives, you have to remember that it is Guangzhou Mansion that is defending. Once the pirates leave Lingdingyang, don't chase them. The navy of General Yu will fight them."

"Practice well, report to the old man immediately after the barbarian merchant is executed... rob and sell my Daming woman!"

The little old man flicked the sleeves of his official robe and left!

　Good morning!
