Chapter 53 Three Guardians
Soon, Chen Mu saw the other side of Hai Rui.
On the third day of the 60-year-old arrived in Luzon, he asked Zhao Shizhen for his official uniform in Luzon. His movements were even stronger than that of Zhao Shizhen, a young man. In just a few days, people with two small flags walked on the horses of Daimao Port and explored the past of the people. His final destination was Chenlai Island, where he would take a boat and bring back all the situations in the northwest of Luzon Island.
Full of motivation.
At first, Zhao Shizhen followed him. When Hai Rui set off from Banshilan City to Chenlai Island, he came back by himself, with the confusion of doubting life.
"Ming Gong, the student... is out of reach?"
In the past few days after they left, Chen Mu even slacked off military affairs and handed them all over to his subordinates to train troops and prepare for the enemy and rest in the ships. He was busy with his wife, such as his wife.
The shopkeeper Xiaoyan came with Tudou, and Sweet Sauce stayed at the Chen house in Nanyang Port to serve his wife.
Chen Mu's original intention was to bring both of them, but Yang Qingluan wrote to him that Chen's house needed someone to take care of him. She and the shopkeeper Xiaoyan came here for half a year to serve Mr. Chen's daily life.
"Whatever you buy land and buy land, you can sell it again. No, leave a few hundred acres."
When Zhao Shizhen came back, Chen Mu asked the shopkeeper about the changes in the family. There were any big changes, but a lot of small changes. What he cared about the most was that Yang Qingluan bought two thousand acres of fertile land for him in Nanyang Port.
Chen Mu felt that the fields were useless and were easy to recruit people to impeach them. He wanted to sell them all, but he wanted to leave hundreds of acres of them.
"We should also leave a memory for others, so that we should not seem to have abandoned our country and family."
"It's not that the wife is busy building land, but the people in Guangcheng are busy working, and the land is going to be deserted."
Chen Mu nodded, and this fell as he expected. Seeing Zhao Shizhen enter the hall in a daze, she waved to the shopkeeper Xiaoyan like a sleepwalking, "Stop first, there is a hot spring on this mountain, and I will take you to play later - Changji, what are you looking for? Mr. Hai is hitting you?"
"Ming Gong, student, are you really stupid?"
"Sit down, what's wrong with you? Potatoes come to tea." Chen Mu was extremely surprised and looked at Zhao Shizhen, who was absent-minded, and asked, "You are not going to Banshilan with Uncle Hai, why are you back by yourself?"
Zhao Shizhen seemed to have just come back to his senses at this time, shook his head and said, "I have never been scolded so much in my next life."
"Just because the land is less than seven acres, Mr. Hai was able to measure the entire county again. The banner army was in a very difficult situation, and in the end it was more than two thousand and seven hundred acres." Zhao Shizhen was deeply hit these days and looked at Chen Mu pitifully and said, "When passing through the tribe, he made things for the people, Mr. Hai said that I was unfair in my affairs, and cut off more than seventy cases that satisfy the people in one day. Later, he simply held a hot trial in the wilderness."
Chen Muqi said: "How to open it?"
"Let the tribes that had stopped the matter spread news, and call the people of the seven or eight tribes who had trouble saying anything, and cut them off one by one, alas."
Zhao Shizhen sighed and said to Chen Mu: "Mr. Ming, I'm afraid I don't have the talent to benefit the officials. I'd better come back to see what you have to do around you."
Chen Mu got up from the chair, walked two steps and looked at Zhao Shizhen and smiled: "He is 60 years old. Although he has never been to the Imperial Academy and has never passed the Jinshi, he has been an official for most of his life. Can you compare?"
"There are not many people in the world who can be better than Haigangfeng, and you are not as good as him. Let him govern Luzon, and he is not good at it. He is transferred to the governor of Yingtian, which is not a bad government official, but because he offended all his superiors and subordinates."
"In Luzon, he has no superiors and subordinates, and he depends on his arbitrary actions. I believe that Luzon has him to govern the government in a clear and clear way. As for you, please help me take the boat." Chen Mu looked over his notebook and said, "In a few days, there will be a lot of supplies from the Nanyang Guard to Daimao Port. You can inspect and accept it, and then distribute the supplies that Balang needs to him, and transport the rest to Macheng."
This batch of supplies was specially extracted by Chen Zhi from the Northern Xuanfu Military Arts Bureau and the Southern Nanyang Guard Military Arts Bureau. It was almost as close as the armies of Chen and Qi. Needless to say, the long knife, the boring handle, the bird gun, the cannon, and the Yalang were all equipped with it. It can be said that he has a big appetite.
Of course, his arrangement of bird guns and cannons was not like Chen Mu. His gun soldiers were clamoring for more than half of the ratio. The bird guns retrieved by Chen Zhi were only one-quarter of the ratio of ordnance. Considering that the damage rate of bird guns was lower than that of other ordnances, his gun soldiers accounted for roughly one-third of the number of flag troops under his command.
Luzon first set up a new garrison to train troops for several months. After the armies are fully equipped, it should be able to catch up with next year's big battle.
"After the Luzon Left Guard selected the armies, he sent the baggage to Macheng. He took Chen Lian. He learned a lot from Qi Shuai. Now he has experience in the left guard. He asked him to set up the Luzon Central Guard in Macheng and train the flag army. Luzon would set up three guards. As for the Right Guard, he would set up the Minduluo and let Shao Tingda go."
Just establishing the three guards on Luzon Island can provide basic supplementary forces. In this way, after the training is completed next year, the Nanyang Army's strength will reach more than 30,000, which is enough to deal with most situations in the east and south in the future.
Zhao Shizhen still likes to do these things, especially dealing with arms. He is interested in this. Even though he just returned from Banshilan City, he immediately bowed and said, "I know, I'll go prepare a boat and set off."
Chen Mu nodded and added: "By the way, Nanyang Port may bring more than a dozen craftsmen here this time. At that time, you will set up the Luzon Military Weapon Bureau here. You are most concerned about this and will leave it to you for your care when you come back. Choose a relatively hidden location, transport materials, and use hydraulic power to facilitate."
"The cannons should still be built in Nanyang. Here we mainly build firearms, guns, arrows, and other firearms, swords, spears, armor, and armor to share some baggage pressure and make the three guards self-sufficient." Chen Mu said with emotion and shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to let Portuguese-British iron transport more Burmese iron, but a few days ago Guan Jiang wrote to them that there were always people selling good iron to pretend to be Burmese iron. After pursuing it, he found that it was produced in Qiongzhou."
"There are copper and iron ore stolen by the people there. After several explorations, there are not only a large amount of iron and copper, but also gold and silver ores. The range is very large, and it may not be short of iron for a long time in the future."
"The merchants have already offered a reward to look for the big island south. After they enrich the chart, your craftsmen will draw some to the big island to explore all the raw materials and minerals on the island. Let me tell you first, and then you can go."
When Zhao Shizhen left, Chen Mu called his family soldiers and said, "Go to Bannai Island to call Lin Feng and Qi Zhengyan back."
Turning back, Chen Mu looked at the island country on the east side with a huge map in the hall.
