Chapter 27 Tan Shuai
Chen Mu had thought that he would be a general officer, his qualifications were enough to be a general officer.
Zhang Han also said that if Guangdong faces war again, he will serve as the general officer, but he never thought that he would travel thousands of miles to the north to become the general officer.
Moreover, the official position of Nanyang Guard has not been removed, Chen Mu thinks this is too fantasy.
What else do he have to ask for? Of course, he also did one thing, handing over his son and apprentice to Qi Jiguang, and asking him to be disciplined under the command of Qi Shuai.
After staying in the Jizhen Governor's Office for two days, taking the map along the Changping Defense Zone and the required information, Chen Mu still couldn't understand why Qi Jiguang, the general who killed Yingye, gave his yamen a cute name with a folded voice.
When he left Zhizhi Hall and then went to the Governor's Office to meet Tan Lun, the atmosphere when he met with Qi Jiguang was very different.
Chen Mu's impression of Tan Lun is diverse, and no matter which one is inseparable from two words, Japanese pirates.
As the saying goes, the two major difficulties of the Jiajing Dynasty were the enemy of the south and the north. The Japanese pirates had been in trouble in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. In the battle with the Japanese pirates in the southeast, a large number of generals who could fight tough battles emerged in the Ming Dynasty, led by Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and Liu Xian, and these three were Tan Lun's subordinates.
When they met with Qi Jiguang, they completely turned into military exchanges and exhibitions because the two had common characteristics. Basically, Qi Shuai showed off himself from tiger squats, landmines, etc. to wolf silos, boring and other cold weapons, pointing out various key points, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the military; General Chen also arranged a row of cannons, silt guns, breastplates, and grenades, and two practical factionists had an in-depth and easy-to-understand exchanges in the artillery fire.
Finally, we reached a consensus and recognized each other.
Tan Lun is also a practical person, but he is different from Qi Jiguang.
"The general was able to see Tan, which means he had been recognized by Qi. I wonder what official position Qi Shuai was to protect the general?"
Tan Lun and Chen Mu imagined that they were completely different. His Governor's yamen was also completely different from Zhang Han's yamen. The yard was full of military barracks, and bright weapon frames were wiped and renovated everywhere. The accent of Zhejiang was everywhere, and they were all Tan Lun's family soldiers.
This is a civil servant who was born in the Jinshi. He first served as the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, but he has been fighting all his life. He is like a warrior, and his outfit is somewhat similar to Chen Lin. He also has a wide robe with his armor, his shoulders and shoulders, and his figure is not tall but very strong. He looks at Chen Mu seriously.
"Returning to the army, Qi Shuai Yan was appointed as the deputy general and guarding Changping."
To be honest, Chen Mu didn't understand what Tan Lun meant. As he and Qi Jiguang had already explained his affairs to him?
"The guards Changping is Juyongguan, which is the gateway to the capital, and all the wars are here." Tan Lun nodded, then waved his hand to let Chen Mu sit down, and continued to ask, "What about your official position in Nanyang Guard?"
"Because artillery is used together, the humble position will continue to be both."
"Don't claim to be a humble position. My Ming Dynasty's military is weak, because of the fact that the civil and military play, only the 17th-rank minor officials can still drive the fifth-rank military officer. This matter cannot be changed day and night, but how can a general have no self-esteem? You are the youngest deputy general, why can't you see any arrogance in you?"
Tan Lun stared at Chen Mu. Just when Chen Mu thought it was a test, the Governor of Ji Liao moved his eyes away and asked, "Stop two hundred new recruits, fight against two hundred Japanese pirates, and the troops are at the city in five days. What should we do to fight?"
This is the test.
Chen Mu shook his head, this was a proposition for saying: "If you can not fight, you will not fight. If you can harvest fields, destroy rice and clear the fields, keep your door closed."
"Don't leave behind?"
Tan Lun looked at Chen Mu without answering and continued to ask: "If two hundred soldiers and armed forces are fully prepared and two hundred Japanese pirates are at the city, how can they be undefeated?"
Isn't this a difficult problem?
"I don't know when I go back to the military gate." Chen Mu raised his face. Didn't you ask why you are not arrogant? "If two hundred soldiers personally trained for the military gate and had guns and cannons in hand, I really don't know how to defeat me, such a battle - I have never lost."
"I know you haven't lost." Tan Lun smiled, patted the books on the table with his hand, and said: "In the 45th year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates came to Qingyuan. The general was the small flag of Qingcheng at that time. He fought with hundreds of households, killed several real Japanese soldiers with his hands, and killed more than ten enemies. Later, the Battle of Xinjiang fought against the riots, and promoted thousands of households in Xiangshan with his military achievements. You can defeat the pirates several times."
"A normal person is like you. It is already a great achievement to be a guerrilla general. It is a good idea to be able to be the commander of the seal." Tan Lun said, but frowned again and said to Chen Mu: "You gave Tan a telescope, and I heard that you gave Qi Shuai two more guns. Will you only give these?"
In Chen Mu's eyes, this is the first time he has seen Tan Lun, but in northern Xinjiang, the name of Chen Mu in Guangdong has long been remembered by many people.
"I have read the battle report of the war in the expedition. Mr. Tan was the head of the Ministry of War at the time. He fought well. He pursued the sea for several days and made great contributions. I guess the telescope must have made great contributions, right?"
Tan Lun's speech was very jumping for Chen Mu, making him a little confused about what the governor wanted to say, but since he was asked, he had to hold his fists and said: "To be honest, the first telescope is built in order to fight on sea ships and artillery, and can seize the opportunity."
"I think the reason why the Japanese invaded the southeast was because our Ming Dynasty's coastal defense was weak. If our ships were strong and powerful, the Japanese were destroyed and the people were killed if they did not reach the shore. How could the Japanese invasion come?"
Tan Lun sat upright and asked, "The ship is strong and the cannon is sharp?"
This word is very heretical!
No matter how strong the ship is, it cannot defeat the fire, and no matter how powerful the cannon is, it cannot escape the Jue Gang - this is the main theme of the East Asian naval war!
"Yes, the ship is strong and the cannons are powerful. My Ming Dynasty soldiers have been practicing ship battles for a long time, and they all jumped to gangs and fire attacks. However, there will be many casualties and injuries in every battle. The experienced sailors are elite. It is painful to die if one person dies. Moreover, hundreds of people are killed in battles. Why bother?"
Chen Mu clasped his fists and said, "There are few people who are as good at fighting as a military gate. Courage and discipline can make the soldiers invincible. However, if there are better equipment to reduce the deaths of elite soldiers with good courage and discipline and enhance their combat power, isn't this a good thing?"
In his opinion, Chen Mu's words meant the advantages of the Nanyang Guard, but in Tan Lun it sounded like a sword to the Ministry of Works, because he had heard too many complaints about military weapons. Everyone knows this kind of thing, but who can do it well?
If he really can do it well, why should he buy bird guns from Zhejiang and Fujian and artillery from Guangdong?
It’s not that Beijing has too many involvement, and the things that are made cannot be returned even if they are not suitable for use!
"The general has talent and knowledge, and Changping currently has more than 20,000 soldiers. How long will it take to train a warable army?"
This is a tough word. If Chen Mu hadn't prepared enough homework on the way to Beijing for Tan Lun's experience, he could have put himself in the future with just one sentence. When Tan Lun was appointed as the prefect of Taizhou, he also asked Qi Jiguang the same thing. Qi Jiguang's answer was three years.
During those three years, all the battles in Taizhou were personally dealt with by the prefect Tan Lun. Three years later, the Qi family's army was formed and the attack was unstoppable.
Chen Mu didn't take this off at all and said, "I dare not make a promise. I will only be able to reply to the military after inspecting the Changping army for seven days."
It was a bit twists and turns. Wu Guifang checked his cannon. Qi Jiguang asked his squad to guard Changping for a year. How could he let him train in Changping when he arrived in Tan Lun?
