Chapter 302
Chen Mu named Zhao Shizhen's arrow cart Zongqi Arrow, but Zhao Shizhen didn't like it, so he insisted on calling it Shenwei Mechanism Arrow.

In fact, not only Zhao Shizhen, but the whole army has learned from Chen Shuai's simple and rude way of naming everything. Who doesn't want the weapons they use to be more majestic?But looking through the arsenal, except for the two-pound cannon and the small flag, arrow, palm and mine, their arsenal seems to be the least imposing one in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Looking at other people, their cannons may not be half the size of the two-jin cannon, but their name is majestic!What kind of Shenwei Cannon, Great General and Second General Cannon, their rockets are all named like Hundred Tigers Running Together, even Qi Shuai, who pays attention to practical work, made the Five Thunder God Machine in Ji Town, but in fact it is just a five-throw machine that can turn. Just eyeballs.

where are they?
Thanks to their invincible Chen Shuai, they use the most powerful bird guns and cannons in the world, but their names fail one after another.

Among other people, there are many names for bird guns, but in Chen Shuai's mouth, there are only hand guns, short guns, and long guns; for other people's cannons, there are also many names, and Chen Shuai only has two catties, five catties, and ten catties. severity.

No one knows that Chen Mu has his own naming philosophy.

In his recent letter sent to Guangdong Bai Yuanjie entrusting him to build a special fleet for him, in addition to the general ship Chihai, there is also a main gunboat with a size of [-] materials, and the name of the ship is Gousheng.

"Why did you come in in such a hurry, drink two sips of water first. Wuqiao, I was just looking for you." Seeing Deng Zilong entering the study, Chen Mu smiled and said, "I just asked Brother Jingchen to build another big ship in Nanyang, one thousand two hundred The material is slightly smaller than ordinary general ships, but I asked craftsmen to cover the ship planks and three feet below the waterline with iron sheets, and the front rams of the ship were made of pure iron."

"This ship is not afraid of burning. Although there are fewer cannons, I estimate that it can only hold twelve to eighteen cannons. But in addition to sails and water wheels in the ship, there is no ship in the world that can block it! I just want to give you a boat that is not afraid of fire, I even have a name for you!"

Deng Zilong was knocked out by Chen Mu's words, what is an iron boat?

That thing will sink directly to the bottom when it goes into the water, right?

And why did you want to send me a boat that is not afraid of fire?

But Deng Zilong saw that Chen Mu was in a state of excitement, so he didn't ask in detail, he just asked, "What name did the general give the ship?"

"Hey." Chen Mu smiled mysteriously, and said, "You will know when we return to Guangdong!"

"Go back to Guangdong."

The Cantonese soldiers have been away from home for more than a year, and everyone is eager to return home, including Deng Zilong. Shaking his head and throwing away his redundant thoughts, Deng Zilong clasped his fists and said, "General, the second son of Liaodong Li Zongbing has come, and he brought a few people outside the residence." wait."

Li Chengliang's son came again, but this time it was no longer Li Rusong's stunned head. Chen Mu was very pleased, and said, "Let them in. Junxiong, go get the breastplate, waist knife, and handgun and prepare each one."

Deng Zilong went to meet those people in front of the mansion's yamen, Long Junxiong went to the mansion's armory, Chen Mu didn't sit where he was, but stood at the threshold of the mansion's front hall, and saw Deng Zilong bringing seven or eight people in various clothes into the mansion, That's why the soldiers of the government stopped more than a dozen people outside, otherwise there would be more people coming.

There are old and young people who enter the mansion, and their dresses are also very different. There are not only Han princes who are the leaders, but also old and young girls who are real warriors, and there are even a few Koreans wearing big hats.

Just looking at this weird combination, Chen Mu felt that maybe everyone he was looking for had come.

Two young Han princes with faces somewhat similar to Li Rusong's, but slightly youthful, walked up to them, retracted their sleeves two steps away, stepped forward and bowed to salute, the elder said: "Li Rubai, younger generation, bring me with you." My fifth younger brother is Rumei, and by my father's order, I pay a visit to General Zhenshuo!"

Li Rumei is still a teenager, but Li Rubai looks about the same age as Li Rusong.In other words, he and Chen Mu were also about the same age, but he regarded himself as a junior, not at all like his brother's pride, and he won Chen Mu's favor cleanly.

"Mr. Li, please hurry up. You and I are about the same age, so you don't have to call yourself a junior." Chen Mu smiled and supported Li Rubai, and said sincerely: "I have been friends with Li Zongbing for a long time, and I have also seen the prestige of Li's iron cavalry. , we’ll go our separate ways, just call Chen Mou’s elder brother.”

Li Rubai's eyes widened, he didn't even dare to say, just kidding!They came here to apologize to Chen Mu. His elder brother Li Rusong was offended by calling Chen Mu his elder brother. How dare he call Chen Mu his brother now.

At the same time, in his heart, he labeled General Chen Shuo as a hypocrite.

"Nothing to dare, let's go in and talk."

Chen Mu is not a hypocrite for inviting everyone into the mansion.Although it is very common for people of the same age or even younger to be elders in this era, he doesn't care about them. He doesn't like Li Rusong because his proud personality makes him feel uncomfortable, rather than calling him elder brother.

In other words, Chen Mu has always believed that others cannot make decisions for him. He is willing to treat others equally, but others cannot decide equality for him, because this era is inherently unequal.His choice of equality is a gift, his generosity, not his due.

If I want to give it, I will naturally give it, but you can't ask for it.

"Who are these?"

Everyone sat down, Li Rubai was the host and guest, everyone below sat down one by one, Li Rumei sat in the first seat on the left, although there were still three vacant seats, the others just stood and did not take their seats.

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Li Rubai introduced: "This is Rumei, the younger brother, sitting next to him is Jue Chang'an, the commander of the left guard capital of Jianzhou, and Nikanwailan, the lord of Tulun City in Jianzhou. "

"The last general pays homage to General Zhenshuo!" Jue Changan's Chinese is very good, and now he is old, wearing a padded jacket with fur, stood up and bowed his hands, looked at Chen Mu and asked: "The general asked Li Zongbing to look for him in Jianzhou. The grandson of the last general, if the ignorant child has no intention of offending General Hu Wei, please don't blame the general."

Chen Mu also has a commander in his official position. It is said that he is at the same level as Jue Chang'an, but Chen Mujia has a high-ranking Xuanfu commander-in-chief. Chen Mu didn't find it strange to sit behind Li Rubai and Li Rumei, even if they saluted.

What a child!

Chen Mu looked over Jue Changan, and behind him stood a Jurchen boy who was not as tall as the back of the chair. He was only about ten years old, and his face was ordinary and even stained with dirt. He didn't look like the grandson of the commander. The staring eyes are not fearful, and there is not much innocence—at a young age, he has learned to be vigilant.

"The general is worrying too much. Your grandson didn't offend me. I haven't even met him." Chen Mu raised his eyebrows at Nurhachi with a smile, and said, "It seems that the general's grandson is not doing well."

"Let the general laugh, his mother died of illness last year, and his stepmother is a daughter of Haixi Wangtai, who can take care of him?" Jue Chang'an said that there was no grief, only helplessness: "In the past, there were many people in the left guard. I have five sons, and they all have many sons. If the general hadn't been looking for him, the general would have forgotten that there was a grandson named Nurhachi—but he didn't know that the general was looking for him. What's the matter?"

"He has a relationship with me."

Chen Mu tilted his head slightly, raised his eyelids to look at Jue Changan, and said, "I have a better place for him than Jianzhou, General, let your grandson follow me."
