Chapter 50 Cannonball
Even if Chen Mu defeated Ji Neng's attack, the war continued. Altan, who was detained Hannaji's pass and asked to surrender, still held 100,000 troops outside Datong. Qiqing Hasin Ai Huang Taiji, who did not work hard, was still wandering outside the border.
However, Xin Ai Huang Taiji was not a problem for the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, Xin Ai Huang Taiji was because of the fact that Han Naji was inconsistent with his father, but in fact, he was unwilling to contribute in this battle because of his views on the Ming Dynasty, so he did not engage in troops with the Ming Dynasty at the border, but just pretended to behave.
Altan and Ma Fang confronted Datong, and brought Han Naji to Datong's hinterland to be entertained by the governor Fang Fengshi. The court and Datong kept letters. Many court officials believed that the opportunity should not be missed, especially the governors and governors of Datong tried their best to promote it.
The court officials discussed the affairs of the court officials, and Chen Mu was busy confiscating the minerals in Yanqing.
Yanqing has many mountains and mines. The surrounding Beijing and Datong are full of coal, but most of these mines are privately occupied by guard officials and local powerful people, and even sent military households to mine for them. Now Chen Mu is facing it, the military affairs of the three guards of Yanqing are terrible.
The military affairs of the Changzhen Guard, which is adjacent to the capital, are much worse than those in Qingyuan, and Xiangshan. The only advantage is that a great victory allows two commanders and many guard officials to see Chen Mu's ability and power. With more than 500 new soldiers in the flag army, they resisted the main attack of the enemy cavalry, and were admired by the guard officials. In addition, more than 200 people were disposed of after the war, the prestige was established.
It is much easier to order the army to be reorganized at this time than before.
However, what Chen Mu did not expect was that Chen Ju did a major event in the past few days - he cut off a ten-pound, two five-pound cannons from the cannons of the Nanyang Guard from the Ministry of War, and was assigned to the Shenji Camp to test the cannon outside the city, and asked the second assistant Gao Gong to climb the city to watch the ceremony.
Gao Gong did not call anyone else, but called the eunuch Meng Chong, the chief of the Sili Supervisor who was a chef, a cannon ceremony for the Shenji Camp.
At this time, the chief minister of the State Administration was Li Chunfang. He was generous and had a fair and fair attitude. He was not obsessed with it. Although he did not make any mistakes, he was obviously not brave enough. The real chief in the cabinet was Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the close ministers of Emperor Longqing as King Yu.
The second auxiliary is at the center, Gao Gong is showing his sharpness, and everything is led by him.
Then, Feng Bao, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, asked the Jinyiwei commander Xu Fatty to come to Changzhen.
"Brother Xu is here." Chen Mu didn't understand why, and greeted Xu Jue and sent someone to serve tea, and smiled: "Brother came. Is it happening that I have something to do here and I want to ask you for help, but I don't want my brother to come. Is this the same thing as you and my brother?"
He did ask Xu Jue for help if he had something to do, which was difficult for him to do, but it would be easy if Xu Jue went to do it.
Xu Jue, who was chubby like Maitreya Buddha, heard Chen Mu's words, and his heart was hanging in his stomach, and even his sitting posture was much easier.
The first impression Chen Mu left on him was really bad. It was not said that he was very cunning or extremely. In short, for Xu Jue, if he didn't hold Chen Mu's little braid or put him in favor, he might not be able to do the business that Feng Bao gave him.
When he came, Xu Jue was ready to be slaughtered by Chen Mu to get the explanation. Unexpectedly, Chen Mu was just in need of his help when he came over. He happily leaned against the chair and took a sip of the tea bowl, and said generously: "My brother, don't worry too much. If you have anything to do, please put it on your brother!"
To my brother?
I really get fat and panting.
Chen Mu smiled and said happily, "To be honest, this capital city, I have two lives, and I know that my brother is reliable! The three guards of Yanqing have to organize forty-five horse teams and hundreds of households, and there are still 6,000 war horses. Brother... has he solved it for me?"
Xu Jue was choked by the tea and almost turned over the chair.
"Oh, it seems to be a tough guy." Chen Mu showed a disappointed look. Although he didn't feel that he needed to be disappointed at this time, for Ying Jing'er, he decided to sigh disappointedly, and then said happily: "The three guards of Yanqing still had 180 short artillery cannons, this brother can solve it!"
Xu Jue put the tea bowl back on the table, got up and wiped the water stains on the official uniform, and glanced at Chen Mu, pretending that he didn't hear it.
Chen Mu opened his eyelids and curled his lips, "There is no horse or cannon, so there are only guns left. Yanqing's three guards lack nine thousand bird guns. This is easier than the two above. Just eighty or ninety percent new ones, and there is no need to bother brothers, I don't have to bother me..."
"Commander Chen, is he teasing Xu!"
Xu Jue stared at the court and glanced at him, then he approached and said angrily to Chen Mu: "Who doesn't know that buying guns and cannons in the entire capital is better than finding General Chen to you than Wang Gongchang Military Weapon Bureau. You ask Xu to rush the guns and cannons for you. Do you think I look like cannons?"
This level of anger was completely lethal to General Chen who put Juyongguan on his face. Chen Mu turned his body and looked at Xu Jue seriously, shook his head slowly, then thought about what he raised his hand and patted his legs twice, nodded one after another, and said, "Bowl Cannon."
Xu Jue does look like a bowl of pot, with a round head and round body, not too tall. However, Chen Mu only realized that it was not funny to say this joke on such occasions, because the bowl of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot of pot, and quickly waved his hand to put aside the topic.
"Forget it, different brothers are joking, it's not to be hiding. I'm collecting the minerals of the three guards. This is too difficult for the people. The guard officials look at the wealthy people in the village, and the wealthy people look at the wealthy people. The most difficult thing among the powerful people is that they have contact with the Jinyiwei officials, and Chen can't move."
Chen Mu rubbed his fingers and said, "Brother, please help me get all the mines. Chen doesn't want to kill people indiscriminately."
"This is almost the same. You can't kill people now, don't mess around."
"It seems you really want to do a big fight in the capital." Xu Jue chuckled. He knew that Chen Mu was playing with him in front of him and asked him to make horses and cannons. He had no place to do it, but he could really do it. "In this way, tell me the Jinyiwei Officer who occupied your mine, I'll go find them and get it done in less than a month, but you have to do it for me."
If Xu Jue didn't come, Chen Mu planned to hand over the book to the court directly, asking the cabinet ministers to think about the idea of collecting military fields, adding military mines, and improving the status of the flag army. His book would definitely get the support of the rulers, but it would be difficult to get the support of the lower class.
The cake was so big, and if he wanted to take it back, he would have to offend a large number of people. If the matter of Changzhen alone was just easy to say, but now Chen Mu was also thinking about it. Before he knew it, he had already stepped into the whirlpool of Zhang Juzheng's reform and could not escape - he didn't know if there were any Guards in the removal of the old ills of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, but now it is obviously on the agenda.
One day, his guards will be able to implement a ministry, or even implement the governor's office of the Five Army.
"Gao Gong and Meng Chong watched the ceremony themselves, but they were not called the godfather in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervision." Xu Jue sat upright and said to Chen Mu: "Godfather wants to persuade Your Majesty, and then go to the Beijing Camp. General Chen, you are in the victory of Mahe, and you must also enter the Beijing Camp and use artillery to seize Long Yan Yiyue."
