In the autumn of the fifth year of Longqing, the court removed Chen Shuo's position as General Zhenshuo, the general of the Xuanfu, and was appointed as Minister of Nanyang. He stayed in Beijing and studied in the Imperial College for three months, and was sent to Guangdong to govern the war.

During the winter when Mr. Chen joined the Imperial College and his brother-in-law as classmates, the court officials were discussing a series of state affairs, which was inseparable from Chen Mu's official position.

Because when he left Beijing, Gao Gong gave him a big gift, which was his official position.

The full name of the official name: Guangdong Military Affairs Co-organizer, the right governor of the Nanyang Military Office, the Prime Minister of the Maritime Affairs Minister.

When he left Xuanfu, many people sent him to Beijing; when he left the capital, few people sent him back to Guang.

The only ones who truly have a high status are Wu Dui, and the others are Zhang Siwei who came for Gao Gong, You Qi who came for Zhang Juzheng, and Xu Jue who came for Feng Bao. There are basically only a few officials, and the other officials basically see off for others.

Most of the merchants saw him off.

Because Chen Mu has many official titles and is ranked first in the official position, but his power is a big pie, and it has nothing to do with anyone.

The Guangdong Military Affairs Co-organized, so that anyone in Guangdong could manage him, but no one could listen to him. The right governor of the Nanyang Military Office sounded very powerful, but it did not belong to the Five Army Governor's Office. It was a new Governor's Office, with no subordinates or direct subordinates. He was even the only right governor in the entire Governor's Office, and he was also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. The Prime Minister of the Nanyang Minister was also an empty shell. According to the name, most of the government and the people believed that he was in charge of the Nanyang Guard.

The north knows little about overseas.

In the eyes of ordinary people, General Zhenshuo, who called wind and rain in Xuanfu, made a mistake and was demoted. This is the real rise in openness and decline in secret.

Ni Shangzhong, who had two swords inserted into his waist, followed the chariot and horses and walked south in the wind and snow, and his heart became colder as he walked; Dong Yiyuan and Ma Gui were in the same horse, and both of them were full of bitterness; but Chen Bazhi, who came back from Qingshankou, brought calmness and perseverance that was not suitable for age, and together they called Liangwen, instructed the servants to urge them to move forward, neither excited nor unwilling, as if they were just ordinary orders.

As a military supervisor, Chen Ju, even when the army was marching, was full of stars, and the eunuchs ran forward and behind.

Deng Zilong beat the horse and smiled at Chen Mu, "General, morale is very low!"

Chen Mu grinned, looked back at the continuous military force, and said, "It is normal for the slump. Everyone can understand the imperial edicts of the court, but they don't believe it, and they don't believe that Chen can accomplish things."

The official position given by the cabinet ministers has actually expressed the meaning very clearly. He has the final say in overseas matters.

The question is whether the Ming Dynasty has power overseas? No, there is no power. Even the deputy envoy of the southern sea route is in charge of Lu Shanghai Pass. So it is also a matter of fact that others interpret this official title as a false title without power.

The newly established Nanyang Army Governor's Office is OK, but it is OK to say that it is the Sixth Army Governor's Office, but it is OK, anyway, it can be abolished in a blink of an eye; the Prime Minister Nanyang Minister is also an official without real power, and the Admiral Maritime Affairs, which is worth mentioning, is actually not as good as a Guangdong general officer.

What does this count as compared to General Zhenshuo?

"Others say I'm asking for trouble. What do you think this is Wuqiao?"

Chen Mu slowly walked around in a fox fur, and even Heiwa was wearing a thick wolf fur horse suit. His expression looked relaxed, not as sluggish as the generals and officials transferred to him behind him.

"No matter what others think, the general has achieved his wish." Deng Zilong shook his head and said, "Actually, Deng doesn't know what the general wants."

This made Deng Zilong feel that he was quite energetic to follow Chen Mu. "Deng is just a vulgar man. He is a soldier and always wants to do something big, but he doesn't know what big things he can do. Maybe the general knows."

Chen Mu raised his head and laughed, looked at Deng Zilong, rushed forward and laughed loudly to his left and right, "I have already entered Guangping. Let's go for another hour to rest in Handan!"

-

War is a risk, and war is also an opportunity, from family and country to individuals, this is true.

For Chen Mu, the biggest risk is that he can't go back if he takes this step. The so-called king has no jokes, not only does he say nothing but no jokes, but the promises made by the ministers to the emperor can only be achieved.

There is no room for negotiation.

The troops were sluggish, and they marched south from the end of winter. When they arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, it was already spring and flowers blooming. Then they went south to Huguang and cross mountains and ridges. They blocked Chengtian Prefecture for half a month, and when they entered the boundary of Sichuan, it was already the end of March.

Chen Mu's first stop was not Guangdong, but Bozhou.

Yang Yinglong's course at the Imperial College was over. He returned with Chen Mu and took over as his father Yang Lie's official position as the Xuanwei Envoy of Bozhou, and Chen Mu came to complete his wedding.

The wedding is not complicated, it is just limited in distance and has had many troubles. However, the betrothal gifts and other matters have been completed in the middle. It is considered a marriage when we waited for the Qingyuan Temple to see you. It is worth mentioning that Chen Mu's betel nut.

Shao Tingda helped him deliver the goods, except betel nut, gold, silver and other items, all of which were transported from Nanyang Port.

Most of the troops were led by Deng Zilong to transfer to Guangdong, while Chen Muze led his small troops to Bozhou to welcome the bride.

At the junction of Huguang, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, there are many Xuanwei Divisions established. For example, the head of the family soldier Xiangfei obtained by Chen Mu from Bai Yuanjie, which is the warrior of the Yongshun Xuanwei Division in Baojing, Huguang. To the west of Huguang, there is the Youyang Xuanwei Division, and to the south is the current Sinan Prefecture, and in the past it was the Sizhou Xuanwei Division.

After passing through Sinan, Guizhou and then heading west, it is the Bozhou Xuanwei Office, which belongs to Sichuan.

The Xuanwei Office of Bozhou was much larger than Chen Mu imagined, and its jurisdiction was almost the same as Chongqing Prefecture. It reached the north of Zhuanjiang River and the south of the Nangwen River. The river was full of traffic and merchant ships. From Yong'anyi, the mountains gradually became lower, and there were endless chariots and horses coming and going on the road. In the distance, Bozhou City stood tall under the guard of the camp of troops. There were countless chariots and horses walking towards the official road from the city.

This is not a noble city like Beijing, nor is it a big city with convenient transportation and complete sea and land in Guangdong, but Bozhou City also has its own momentum. Especially among the mountains and rivers, it is not easy to exude such prosperity.

Yang Yinglong said: "The porter goes north and picks tens of thousands of dans of camellia every spring. When the price of summer rice is high, he starts to pick the rice tea to the river, boards there, and sends it to Chongqing for sale. To the east, he sells pine boards and lead. The mountains are frying 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 dans of black lead every year, and the flower pine boards must be calculated as tens of thousands of 10,000 dans of flower pine boards."

Chen Mu looked at Yang Yinglong who was proud of him, and his face was complicated and his heart was moved.

Your ancestors have been busy doing business on this land for generations, and their relationship networks are spread across the country. If you know that one day this foundation will be ruined in your hands, I wonder what it would be like?

A large group of people rushed to the official road from a distance. The mountain riders with helmets and armor were cheerful. When they saw Yang Yinglong from afar, they turned over and dismounted, led the people all the way, knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Go and report to the envoy Xuan, the eldest son is back!"
