Chapter 56 Jurisdiction
The weather in Luzon is hard to tell what season it is, and it is always hot summer all year round.
"I don't know if I don't say it, it's almost winter."
The walls of the Nanyang Yamen Castle were rested and piled up with ice made of nitrate after the craftsman rested. Chen Shuai wore a large group of lion silk robe with a blush embroidered lion silk robe, and placed aside the jade beads and black gauze hats, and sat on the official hat chair.
Manager Xiao Yan pinched his shoulders behind him and raised his hand to hit him, "How can you sit like this, handsome man?"
"Oh, isn't this comfortable?"
Chen Shuai looked lazy and squinted his eyes and didn't want to open it. Tudou sat behind and burst out laughing. When he saw the lazy lion turning his head and staring at him, he quickly pretended to be scorching his eyes to the side, slowly waved a large fan to fan the wind to Mrs. Ru.
Chen Mu raised his hand to reach the porcelain tea bowl from the window. The outside of the porcelain bowl was filled with a layer of water vapor due to the cold and heat. The mango ice tea inside was placed. At this time, the ice cubes were almost melted, and drinking it in one sip made him feel comfortable and straightened his legs.
"Ah! It's cold from head to toe!"
Yan Qingyao saw Chen Mu's lazy look and wanted to laugh, making fun of him: "Your soldiers and generals are all brave, but unfortunately they are the ones who know how to enjoy themselves."
"I don't know!" Chen Mu's expression was very surprised, "Why can I stay here and feel comfortable? It's because I won. If I lose, I will take a boat back to Spain alone like that little Sa. If he loses, he can return to Spain. If I lose, I will still have the face to go back to the Ming Dynasty?"
Yan Qingyao really never thought about what would happen if Chen Mu lost in a war. It was said that victory or defeat was common in military affairs, but Chen Mu was not a military affairs because he was less defeated.
But this matter was obviously heavy in Chen Mu's heart. It doesn't matter how many times he lost a small battle. If he lost a big battle all at once and had no power to fight back, then he would be the sinner of the Central Plains.
It’s not that he is afraid of the court’s punishment, and it is not his turn to punish him if he loses a war. At most, he is just to remove his official position. The Nanyang Yamen has only the power to transfer military power, and the power to command military power is at the hands of the generals below. If he loses so much that the court can’t get over, he will most likely remove the Nanyang Yamen.
But if even he loses, it will be no longer a win or loss to the enemy in Fujian.
He was feeling heavy here, and suddenly a small shopkeeper on his shoulder covered his mouth and laughed out loud. He asked, "What did you think of, you are still laughing."
"If you lose, remember to leave a boat for yourself, pick it up and run away."
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, felt a little warm, and laughed.
After laughing, he raised his hand to cover the little hand that was holding his shoulder and said, "Don't be in a hurry to lose, take the time to give birth to his son first. The reincarnation asked me to write a letter to the capital to find a teacher to teach his kitten. Jiujing also wrote to explain that after graduating from the Naval Academy in 2018, he would go to the Xuanfu Army Military Academy... In a few years, other people's sons will be able to follow my fleet around the world!"
Shao Tingda was lucky and sent the commander's official position to the Ministry of War to report. I don't know what happened. Perhaps the instructor of the cabinet ministers, the reward was very generous this time. His six-year-old son directly concealed the hundred households of Jinyi. Chen Lin's son, and Chen Mu's adopted son, Chen Jiujing, was also studying in the Navy Martial Arts Hall, and transformed into a thousand households of Jinyi.
Others have very little reward, but Chen Mu is not mentioned in the reward edict.
So Chen Shuai rewarded himself with a bowl of mango iced tea.
Yan Qingyao curled his lips, glanced at the lazy lion with his eyebrows lowered his eyes, made a face, and muttered in a low voice: "Two to one, I don't have a marriage to my sister, who's the matter?"
"It's not that I'm not pregnant, it's time not coming."
Chen Shuai raised a finger very seriously and said in a daze: "Little Chen Mu thinks it's too disgraceful to come out. Think about it, these brothers are either from the thousand households of brocade or from the hundred households of brocade. There are two righteous brothers who become commanders and the other is a big man who is both military and businessmen. What is he?"
"Now you don't remember what the imperial court enthroned him? Nanyang Wei Baihu, listen, how shabby!"
Chen Mu clapped his hands and said, "This is the problem. If you want me, I won't be happy to come out."
"What's the point of being a hundred households in Nanyang Guard? Change bird guns to steamed buns, and change waist knives to steamed buns. Standing in front of the enemy's front is even worthy of the emperor! Thinking back then, I was the Qingyuan Guard's small flag with my ability, so I can have today."
"Is it my son's turn, a Nanyang Guardian, worthy of his identity? At least he has to rely on his ability to embrace him, he... the left governor?"
Puchi!
Yan Qingyao heard that he was messing around here for a long time and jumped out as the left governor and smiled: "How could he be the right governor, Yin Zuo Governor!"
"Hey, that's different. Xiao Chen Mu's family has a lot of official names. The right governor is the smallest. He is used to get a salary for a certain grade. He doesn't even have the power to command military power without adding the general officer. I will co-organize Guangdong military affairs, but when I enter the Guangdong territory, I have the power to command military power, let alone the admiral maritime affairs in charge of overseas military affairs. The Prime Minister Nanyang is the six overseas ministries."
"Don't underestimate the official position of your master. The Six Ministry of Beijing, helping the cabinet masters manage the whole world. It's amazing! The Six Ministry of Nanjing, the Fifteen Prefectures and Three Prefectures in Nanzhili, are also amazing! The more than 20 tribes and halls tied together are the same as your master. The governor of Yinzuo is a joke, but the commander of Yin is not a problem."
Yan Qingyao saw Chen Mu being so beautiful here, smiling and looking back at Tudou, asking her to see if she could hear him talking nonsense around her. Then she asked Chen Mu with a smile: "Why would you ask, Master, where are you in charge of the Six Divisions?"
Chen Mu did not brag. His powers in the Nanyang Yamen were indeed the same as those in the six ministries. In addition to having only the power to mobilize troops overseas but not the power to command military commands, the money and grain of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War's military commands, and even relatively independent diplomatic and official appointments, but the problem lies in the different jurisdiction.
"My six divisions..." Chen Mu was a little short of breath when he said this, and then he said with a breath: "Where I make the emperor, the emperor will let me take care of it!"
Chen Mu laughed at himself, but he didn't want to care. He just wanted to build more places and formulate regulations to get on track and throw them to the officials sent by the court behind him.
He drove a large fleet and rushed around the chaotic world, making other people's voyages chaotic, preventing the people of the Ming Dynasty from starving and freezing, and then all the capable ministers in the world helped wipe their butts from behind - he just enjoyed this feeling!
Chen Mu stood up with uncoverable joy on his face, raised his hand and pointed to the south, "There is a big island over there, and the people sent should be back soon. If they can find that big island, they will name it Xinming, the land of Xinming, and the future little Chen Mu will also be called Xinming, Chen Xinming!"
Just when Chen Mu was proud, Tudou jumped and brought the letter from the downstairs of the castle that the rider had just sent to the yamen. The envelope was stamped with a large cabinet seal. Chen Mu took out the letter and smiled solidified on his face.
