Chapter 646 Darkroom
A side room of the Qianqing Palace was slowly opened, and Xiao Wanli in military uniform looked solemn, opening the private treasure house in his bedroom to outsiders for the first time.

Just as Chen Mu guessed in his mind, Emperor Wanli didn't actually care much about Zhang Juzheng's seduction or not. His confidence in himself.

Just like when Chen Mu tried to lead the topic from the Eastern Fleet to Zhang Juzheng's seizure of love in the palace, Emperor Wanli was very surprised to bring a young eunuch named "Siamese servant" in his pocket, who was a close friend of the milk cat. Let's go, and said seriously: "Didn't I already issue an edict, the teacher can't leave, whoever talks more, we will be promoted to an official in America!"

The ear room is located in a hidden location, and it communicates with the East Nuan Pavilion. The small door can only allow people as tall as Wanli to pass through. It is usually blocked by thick and tall bookshelves.

"Country and country, first there is country and then there is family. I prefer the empire that Jing Haibo talked about, but the teacher doesn't like it very much." Emperor Wanli said slightly moving away from the bookshelf leading to the ear room in Qianqing Palace, and said to Chen Mu: "Does Jing Haibo look familiar?"

The room, which was originally not that big, was separated from the bookshelves as high as the roof by a screen. On the other side, there was the main door of the side room leading to the outside of the hall, but this side was well concealed.

The situation inside could not be seen clearly for a while, Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Wanli, and saw him rushing into the dark room through the bookshelf with a swish, and kicked somewhere beside the bookshelf, and a few glazed lamps illuminated the room small space.

At first Chen Mu thought it was just a child's secret base, but he didn't know there was a universe inside until the glazed lamp was lit.

He blinked, looked at the interior furnishings in the ear room, and looked at Emperor Wanli in disbelief.

In the corner is a knight's plate armor from Milan, Italy, with a Portuguese black-brimmed bonnet on the helmet, and two bird feathers on the hat.

There are kite-shaped shields painted with red lacquer and Ming characters on the side wall corners, and all kinds of bird guns, European-style swords, Japanese swords, and Qi family swords are hung on the wall. This cannot be said to be the Ming Dynasty. It is basically the Chinese Empire, so it has a circle of influence. Mongolia in the north and Siam in the southwest are all on the map.

Hanging on the wall in the middle are several map scrolls such as the map of the world and the map of Nanyang. They all use the method of pulling down and retracting the scroll. A full set of military equipment, such as a dragon-patterned breastplate, a pointed helmet and a spear, a six-petal armored god helmet, and an armor skirt, stands with a sword in a military uniform.

This way of furnishing was no longer familiar to Chen Mu, and it made him dumbfounded—there was absolutely no mistake, this was his home!

The house in Weigang, Nanyang, was arranged inside and out by his elder brother Bai Jingchen according to his preferences, and was moved almost intact to the Forbidden City, which symbolizes supreme power, in this inconspicuous ear room connected to the emperor's palace .

In that silly portrait, little Wanli is the same as the portrait at home that doesn't look like himself, even the movements and postures are the same!
"This……"

After Chen Mu asked Wanli for instructions with his eyes, he picked up the blunderbuss hanging on the wall with both hands in a cautious and awkward posture, and looked at the woodcut and lacquered inscription on the blunderbuss bed—"In the spring of the 46th year of Jiajing, Guan Yuangu of Qianhu House in Qingcheng There are two notches on the body of the gun, and the word "Mu" on the handle is rigid.

That's right, this is his blunderbuss. There will never be a second shot in the world. This is the old blunderbuss that Fu Yuan exchanged for silver with a general banner surnamed Wang in Qingyuan at that time. Guan Yuangu remade the blunderbuss bed. He also has another Japanese gun, and two guns participated in the battle of defending Qianhusuo in Qingcheng with him. What is particularly conspicuous is that the inscription on it marking the spring of Jiajing 46 is wrong.

In fact, it was the first year of Longqing at that time, but Qingcheng was located in a remote place, and the news of the death of the first emperor and the change of the new emperor to the Yuan Dynasty could not be received in time.

He thought it was an imitation!After a long time of trouble, the little emperor sent someone to move his house here. Does this mean that the emperor bypassed the court and copied the houses of important officials of the empire privately?
This is not an antique to be passed on to the younger generations, it is a cultural relic to be buried with Lao Tzu, think about it, one day in the future, the tomb of an important official of the Ming Dynasty who has left a long history abroad will be excavated by archaeologists, and the bird gun used by himself will be taken out, and the inscription is still wrong It is an important prop to witness Chen's legendary story from a soldier to a general. This will be placed in the National Museum in the future!
You, you just got into the Forbidden City like this?
The little emperor didn't have the consciousness to be a robber at the moment, and he was proud with his hips crossed, and raised his chin and said, "When Uncle Jinghai's son was one year old, I sent Wang An to your house to give you a small gift, and I was killed in Nanyangwei. When I was free, I took a boat to Wei Island, Nanyang Military Mansion, and when I came back, Wang An said that your mansion is very uniquely furnished, and it is a blessing for the imperial court to have such a minister who is obsessed with military affairs."

"I heard that there is no one in your mansion in Weigang, Nanyang, and these things should be broken in the future, so I showed kindness and gave you a good place for these useless weapons-move them to my house."

"In the future, when I'm in charge, I'll put them all in the treasury and help you take care of them."

Come on, there is no need to continue reading, the plate armor must have been made in Goa, India, the Qi family sword was given by Wang Rulong, the Japanese sword was obtained from the battle, and the Japanese iron armor on the other side.

Listening to the little emperor's rhetoric, Chen Mu cast his eyes on the kite-shaped shield, which should have been the character "Chen", but now it is obviously painted with the character "Ming" after a new lacquer treatment—why does he not believe it?
This must have become the little emperor's private treasury!
"I thought His Majesty was hiding something here, but I didn't expect it to be these things." What could Chen Mu say, he could only bow and say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind treatment!"

The little emperor smiled and clapped his hands, raised his face and said, "It's a little effort, no need to be polite."

After that, he said seriously: "I didn't ask you to come here to see these things, I did hide something here, only Zhen, Wang An, and Zhang Hong know about it, now Jing Haibo is the fourth, don't let others know! "

"Especially Feng Daban and Mr. Zhang, the teacher is okay, if Feng Daban finds out, he will definitely sue the queen mother!"

As he said, Xiao Wanli pointed to the sand table in the middle of the ear room, and motioned Chen Mu to look carefully.

On the sand table that was pushed out by childish means according to the topographic map of the lecture hall, there were a dozen exquisite pottery warriors stationed in a place along the northern coast of the Ming Dynasty, which were more exquisite than those used in Nanyang and Beiyang, and completely compared with those in Beiyang today. The appearance of the new army was drawn up, and it was also painted.

"I've found out that the Beiyang Military Mansion conducts military training once a year. The first phase is a guard and horse, five thousand and six hundred." The little emperor turned sideways, put his hands in his coat pockets, and raised his eyebrows and asked: " After you leave, how long will America use its troops?"

"Tell me, the remaining soldiers are useful to me!"

　Good morning!
