Chapter 51 Eating Fish
Chen Mu had a good taste and ate a meal of fish steamed by Hai Rui.
He didn't dare to let Hai Rui do it himself, but Hai Qingtian said that he had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank him, thank him for clearing out the Japanese pirates, eliminating Zeng San Lao, and letting the coastal coast clean up.
Because Hai Rui's father died in the Japanese disaster, he said that it was in the twelve years of Zhengde, and said that Qiongzhou was disturbed by the Japanese disaster long before Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.
So Hai Rui insisted on cooking to make the fish for Chen Mu himself, but Chen Mu couldn't persuade him.
This is also a person who will be happy if he turns it off regardless of whether the melon is sweet or not.
"Why didn't Chen Shuai take the first rank?"
The fish were ready, and Xu Wei in the yamen hid far away as soon as he heard that Hai Rui came. Their personalities were too different. Xu Wei was too lazy to cause trouble, so he went to the port to help Chen Mu arrange for the new flag army to go. Zhao Shizhen was a little curious and sat upright and served aside.
He has no luck in eating this fish, and he simply wants to see who is famous in the world.
In this year, it is too difficult to spread your reputation all over the world.
"Mr. Gangfeng, I am not sure about this fish. Chen Mou was ashamed of it." Chen Mu picked up the chopsticks and put them down. It was not that the fish was not delicious. The fish smelled very good, but Chen Mu didn't dare to eat it. He bowed and said, "The reduction of the Japanese pirates is not Chen Mou's merit. There are Yu and Qi Ershuai, and there are two forests who restrain the pirates in the near future, which makes the coast clear and peaceful."
"Compared with their killing of Zeng San Lao, Chen, the effect of killing Zeng San Lao is very small, and I am really worthy of it."
If someone else makes a fish, Chen Mu will eat it, but the fish is Hai Rui, the shadow of a famous tree. Whenever this person goes to the place, the people are happy for it, but no one from the officials above and below can be happy, and Chen Mu doesn't think that he can make Hai Rui happy here.
"The second coach Yu Qi and the other coaches have their own achievements, and Chen Shuai doesn't have to belittle himself. I wanted to ask Erlin after Chen Shuai's food. Since Chen Shuai mentioned it," Hai Rui stood up and bowed, walked back and asked, "Why did Chen Shuai use Japanese pirates? Lin Feng and others attacked Chaozhou and harmed thousands of families. Dao Qian and others surrendered and rebelled against Wuchang and killed very heavily. There are also many Japanese under Chen Shuai's subordinates."
Hai Rui's jaw and beard are gray. People say that he knows his destiny and his ears are 60 years old. The old man is 60 years old this year, but he doesn't see any strong ears. He still has a straightforward attitude and asked: "There are more than ten thousand flag troops under Shuai Chen's command. Can't we rely on them to win?"
Sure enough, the first thing Hai Rui did when he came to Luzon was the Japanese pirates.
Even though Chen Mu was prepared in his heart, he had some new understanding of the reasons why Hai Rui was disgusted in the officialdom.
The court asked him to come to Luzon to help him, but Hai Rui's words were not what his aides or subordinates should say, but they were like interrogation.
If it were an ordinary person, the relationship would be completely broken by saying "This is not something you should care about."
"Of course not. Chen got his name after training the flag army. His flag army has the best armor and the best training. He can play ten on the battlefield. Of course, it is not that he has to rely on the pirates and Japanese to win."
"But I have nearly 5,000 Japanese pirates under my command. With such idle troops, can I let them go to the sea for disaster?" Chen Mu always had his own thoughts about the pirates and said, "If you can lead them to good, why force them to follow evil? People like Lin Fengdaoqian can all make merits and receive rewards. At this time of chaos overseas, it is better to make achievements - Chen believes that adding one or two sea heroes to the Ming Dynasty is much better than sending two heads back!"
"In the past, my navy did not go to the far sea. Whenever the Japanese crossed the sea, the flag army could only be forced to defend, so the Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded our coast. Now our navy is powerful, and warships and flags cover the sky and the sun. Where can there be Japanese pirates? Even if there are still, they were destroyed before they reach the coast."
Hai Rui still felt it was inappropriate and said, "The ancestors made the crime of communicating with the Japanese. The Ming Dynasty's laws had such rules. However, Chen Shuai recruited Japanese and pirates for his own use. Wouldn't he regard the laws as nothing?"
"But our ancestors also used to surrender the enemy. The Mongols of Guangcheng's Right Guard Semu people were enemies of their ancestors in their early years. Now, who is not our Ming general? In the northern border, Ma Shuai kicked Altan's camp with his commander, and used war to promote peace. The beacon fire in the frontier was not burning and making swords into plows. Isn't it a good thing for the world?"
"Chen first experienced a great battle, and he served as the army under Yu Shuai's command, and supervised the army of the Japanese surrendered to the Wuwuduan, and asked him to share his life and death with the thieves!"
"Mr. Gangfeng, Chen has always respected you, your character is important to you, but if you want to serve in Luzon, you must first explain it to you." Chen Musu asked seriously: "Which is more important, the army of the Ming Dynasty or the lives of the surrendered Japanese pirates; which is more important, the people of the Ming Dynasty or the foreigners overseas."
"Sir, I have made a decision in the past. You choose to let the rich gentry suffer some losses in difficult cases. Chen agrees with your approach. Because there are a few acres of land, it is not a good thing for a wealthy gentry to suffer losses, but the poor people may lose their lives for this."
Chen Mu said as he looked at Hai Rui's expression, and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, saying, "This time the choice is much more difficult. Whether you choose the Ming Banner Army or surrender to the Japanese pirates, there will be people who die; whether you choose the Ming people or foreigners overseas, there will be people who are hungry - the old man will be a good person all his life, but in Nanyang and overseas, you will not be a good person anymore."
"Anyone Chen's followers will be extremely guilty within a hundred years; after a hundred years, it will be difficult to write down, and this matter will be rewarded for thousands of years. If the old man wants to preserve his wisdom, Chen will prepare a boat for you to return to Qiongzhou Prefecture. I will use my head to guarantee that you can see that the Ming Dynasty will become richer."
"If you choose to stay, you must make a choice that is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty is no longer in a corner, and the new world has heard the voice of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Ming army is more important than the military soldiers of any country in this world; the people of the Ming Dynasty are more important than the people of any country in this world!"
Hai Rui blinked and watched Chen Mu walk towards the main seat step by step, without saying a word, blinking again, looking at the young Zhao Shizhen sitting on the side.
The old man really wants to ask, is your master always so nervous?
It is obviously a small matter of appointing Japanese pirates. If you use it, use it, and if you don’t, you don’t need it. Using the ancestor’s method has perfectly convinced Hai Rui. If you restrain yourself and surrender, your ancestors have also used it, so there is no problem.
How can it be easily involved? The crimes and evil within a hundred years are extremely serious. A hundred years later, it is difficult to write about it. The Ming Dynasty’s expedition to Southeast Asia is revenge. If the Western Barbarians attacked Haojing Port, we will go to war with him. Such a simple thing is not to be said in such complicated words.
Swish!
The roll hanging on the hall was untied, and the huge world map fell down, and the red paint on the right paint painted the huge Ming Dynasty. Chen Muzhang pointed to the vast blank space around and said, "This is the new world. On the west, on the east, and on the south, the Ming Dynasty wants to join this competition, and Luzon is just the beginning!"
Hai Rui took a deep breath and walked two steps closer. His eyes seemed to be fascinated by the world map. He held his left arm sleeve with his right hand, flipped his left palm forward, and looked at the map.
Chen Mu smiled with relief. It seemed that another capable man in the Ming Dynasty was about to be abducted by him.
As a result, Hai Rui turned his eyes and said, "Shishou Chen, the fish is about to be cold."
