open sea

Chapter 399
The whole of Luzon seemed to be writing a book when the typhoon came.

Chen Mu was writing a book. He brought back several boxes of teaching materials from the martial arts lectures from Guangdong, compiled and revised them, and prepared to make a new book for the little emperor.

Xu Wei is writing a book. He collects the battle reports of the previous sea battles with Xiyi, and summons the generals and soldiers who have experienced the battles in order to summarize the laws of the war and compile the book of winning tactics.

Yu Shaoyu and others were even writing books. Chen Shuai's lustful power and silver offensive instantly made these literati with little social status willing to write stories that they didn't even want to sign.

It's not that the story is bad, or that they can't write it well, the problem is that the intention is too deliberate.

In Chen Mu's words, money, beauties, treasures, adventures, glory, gains, and victories are used to achieve heart-wrenching and eye-opening results, even if there are actually some lies mixed in.

The purpose is noble, but the means are dirty.

In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants had high status, but officials were not literati. Civil servants were those who knew how to govern the country, had a little experience as officials, and had a good official reputation. What about them?They'll write a bunch of stories and still have trouble living their lives.

So not every high-spirited literati is willing to do this for a few taels of silver, at least a dozen taels.

Chen Mu gave 100 taels, everyone was very happy and full of energy!

The Chen Clan's Legion has soldiers and horses everywhere, and the most unpromising one is my brother-in-law Yang Zhaolong.

Look at the battle reports sent by other people, a letter from Chen Bazhi, the Longzuo Temple was sunk; It is expected that there will be pirated shark boats; with a letter from Lin Daogan, thousands of immigrants will be brought over from Chaozhou to reclaim land on the island, and they will be self-sufficient next year.

A letter from Yang Zhaolong: Brother-in-law, I have tamed more than 20 wild dogs in Xinming alone, and I am docile!
promising!Looking at the letter, Chen Mu could imagine his proud expression.

When the letter was sent to Manila, Yang Qingluan was so angry that he just wanted to put his sword on Xinming and kill his brother.

Taking advantage of the more than ten days of the typhoon, Chen Mu finally had the opportunity to take a look at the achievements of many subordinates. The Luzon Islands are on the right track, and they will continue to develop. The first task is to invite Lin Feng to lead the fleet to attack On the way, they attacked Yang Zhaolong's Majapahit Kingdom.

That place is too critical, it is the only way to immigrate to Xinming. In the future, the best young officials of the empire will arrive at Xinming through that route, and no mistakes can be made in the middle. If it is not stable, we will occupy it and rule it.

Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Lusong Southern Guard was replaced by Fu Yuan, and Shao Tingda transferred the [-] Banner Army of the Guard, and took a boat to Borneo to serve as the Commander of the Borneo Capital. Mingshang, protect the route to Malacca.

Chen Bazhi ordered him to contact Qi Zhengyan, who was going to Kyoto, Japan. At the same time, he raised military rations in Hirado with the help of Korean and northern merchants, and established Hirado as a large camp for the Eastern Expedition. The banner is to attack Maori. If Otomo disagrees, first contact Matsuura and Shimadzu to kill Otomo and then attack Maori.

This kind of strategy would not work at other times, but this time is different. Thousands of powerful troops can quickly support the Ming army all over the coast of Kyushu. Breaking the balance of power in a region should not be too simple.

In a situation where two weak and one strong are evenly matched, whoever is said to be destroyed will not live long.

After the rainstorm, while Chen Mu sent the news to Chen Bazhi, he sent Ma Gui to Hirado Island. Ni Shangzhong and Li Sunchen each led six warships and four grain ships. Drive to Kuwu Island, and ask Chen Bazhi to give Ma Gui possible help.

Kuwu Island was later known as Sakhalin Island, and Magui was sent there to restart the three guards of Kuwu Island.

In the [-]th year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty set up Nanghar Guard in the north of Kuwu Island, the Polo River Guard in the central Balo River Basin, and the Wulie River Guard in the eastern Nulie River Valley. Subject to the control of Nurgan Dusi.

But even though Daming had jurisdiction over Kuwu Island, it is not easy to restart the three guards. Nurgan Dusi has been abolished for nearly 140 years, and the time without jurisdiction is longer than the time under jurisdiction. Can't do it right.

They have never fought a war, and they are far behind Chen Bazhi.But the affairs in Japan were related to Yinshan, Chen Bazhi couldn't get away, and most of the affairs there needed Li's help.

Sending Ni Shangzhong and Li Shunchen there is just for training. To re-establish the guard post, it depends on whether the local people are willing or not. If the prestige of the Ming Dynasty is not good, it will have to fight.

Take Kuwu Island, reset the three guards, and then go south to take Yezo, guard the strait, and set up a garrison point.

Chen Mu discovered that this year Nanyang Yamen was really the source of military use. After the typhoon passed, the whole of Luzon was raising food and grass for Chen Lin’s expedition and repairing the warships damaged by the typhoon. Liu Xian, the governor of the Chinese Army’s Governor’s Mansion in the north, sent a letter. , Southern Sichuan rebelled, unable to attack for a long time, asked him to borrow troops.

Chen Mu was so angry that he accepted the letter, and co-authored it. From the point of view of the Chinese military governor's mansion, the Nanyang governor's mansion just has nothing to do and explodes the soldiers. After eating and training, tens of thousands of troops feel uncomfortable if they don't work, and they run away. Borrow troops from Lao Tzu.

What can Chen Mu say, of course he won't borrow it!
As for the affairs of the Chinese military governor's mansion, what does he care about the Nanyang governor's mansion?

Is it possible to go to the Great Wall to find Qi Shuai to borrow a horse for a dignified race against the donkey?

He also told Yang Qingluan about this, and spoke ill of Liu Xian behind his back, but Yang Qingluan broke the secret.

Where is the Jiusiman rebellion in southern Sichuan? It is the generation of Xingwen and Gongxian in southern Sichuan, next door to Bozhou.Liu Xian was serving as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan at this time. The battle had been fought since March, and 14 officers and troops were mobilized 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 [-] troops in a big way.

Who should we rely on to put an end to the chaos in Sichuan?

toast.

The chieftain soldiers are more capable of fighting than the officers and soldiers, and they are the ones who rely on them for tough battles. Otherwise, Yang Yinglong would look down on the officers and soldiers of Sichuan. .

But where is the problem? Back then, Yang Yinglong wanted to find a brother-in-law for himself in the name of his own father. The first person he looked for was not Sai Lugong, but Liu Xian. When the negotiation failed, he turned to his brother-in-law. .

With this matter, can Ying Long's petty mind fight for Liu Xian wholeheartedly?
"It was Ying Long who didn't contribute, so General Liu asked her husband to borrow troops, and when husband borrowed troops, Ying Long contributed."

After Chen Mu thought about it, the soldier really had to be borrowed. He clapped his hands and said, "Well, I'll send Qimai there without any soldiers. The military exploits of leading soldiers would be Liu Nanchang's. Let him go to Bozhou to bring some for Laozi Yue. As a gift, I also bring a letter to Ying Long, recruiting two to three thousand people on the spot, and then the military exploits will be broadcast to the state army—hmph, these days, no one in the whole world dares to be greedy for my military exploits."
