Chen Mu returned to Chenlai Island, and then saw Lin Manjue's deputy general Zeng Xishun. He sailed west with his soon-to-eat grain ship. He was blocked by heavy rain and deviated slightly. When he arrived close to Sulu, he was taken back to Chenlai Island by the cruise fleet.

Although the other Dafu ship sent by Lin Manjue after the war set off late, he gritted his teeth and did not deviate. Instead, he rushed back a little earlier than Zeng Xishun.

In other words, these two lucky ships were lucky. Shortly after they landed, the heavy rains and gloomy signs that the strong wind was coming. If they set off ten days later, they would be blown away by the typhoon, and Chen Mu would not be able to see the fleet sent again.

"Sit down, I just came back from Guangdong and was very hungry, so I was rude." Chen Mu said to the sailor who was put back to convey the news: "Talk while eating."

The winds were howling outside and rained heavily. Chenlai Island's stone city wall could block the strong wind. Although the fleet has now been by port and can sail to Manila Bay to hide, and those who cannot get through are also pulled to the shore to tie it up. They have always had enough experience in dealing with typhoons along the coast, but damage to the ship is still inevitable.

This made Chen Mu a little worried.

The two of them sat on a table to eat with fear, and they were very uneasy.

After explaining the situation, the deputy general Zeng Xishun realized that the general Lin had sunk the warship and said to Chen Mu worriedly: "Master General, Lin is a helpless move to sink the ship, I hope..."

"Just sink, don't be afraid. As long as you can save the life of Chen's elite soldiers, what is a ship?" Chen Mu brushed his mouth before speaking, and said to the two: "You are not afraid of life and death and bringing back the star map. We have always been brave and crafty and well-designed, and we have made great contributions to me. When the strong wind passes, will you dare to lead the fleet and go to Guam again?"

"I am very brave. Mr. Lin is still on the island, just waiting for the general to send troops to help him!"

"When the sea can sail, General Chen will lead the fleet to attack Guam, don't worry."

Taking a few people down, Xu Wei walked out from behind, shook his head slowly with compassion, and said, "They were going back and it took them more than twenty days. The Lin Bar is only two months of food and grass, and there are no big ships. Now there are only thirty days of water and food left, so there are probably many good luck."

Chen Mu felt that Lin Manjue's future was not good. He went deep into the enemy's territory and hung alone in the overseas land, with no soldiers or food. He sighed and nodded, "That is, the rural soldiers who had been following for a long time, if they were the side troops, they would have mutinyed when the warships were sunk."

"When the strong wind passes, General Chen will lead the fleet to the expedition. If this person survives by chance, he can take on a great responsibility in the future. When the fleet is opened, he will send people to Pingyuan and give reward silver to the homes of the soldiers who go out to the expedition, send people to take care of the county officials and neighbors, and take good care of their families. This time, he will bring back some good news."

Chen Mu said as he opened the notebook he had followed him for many years and said, "Last year, I learned that Haojing had bulk silk and satin for sale. This year, I arrived in Hong Kong. In two months, I bought 1.7 million taels of goods from Nanyang Yamen. At the same time, the bulk imported Indian cotton into Haojing. In addition to the Weishou Spinning Factory in Xiangshan, there were thirteen textile merchants, each employed hundreds of workers, and each sold thousands of goods."

"The Ge Lao added customs to withdraw the bid, and the tariffs on Danhaojing Port are expected to exceed 600,000 taels this year." Chen Mu smiled and said, "In this way, it can be regarded as eliminating the consequences of fighting against the Western Barbarians. In addition, the Portuguese Indian Governor has allowed Ming merchants to do business in India, Malacca and other places, but the amount of tariffs that Haojing imposes on them, the Ming ships passing through Malacca will have to pay."

Chen Mu shook his head. The feeling of being controlled by others was very unpleasant, but there was no way. He said: "Now we must have them as a transit for silver to transport, and we have to endure it for a few years. Once the silver in the east has a result, we can break through Malacca."

In fact, this kind of transit is still reciprocal. The whole of Europe needs spices, silks and handicrafts. In the past, this was in the hands of Spain and Portugal, causing unprecedented prosperity and prosperity between the two countries. Now it only exists on the Portuguese ship; the Ming Dynasty needs silver, which was in the hands of Portugal and Spain, and now these silver can only flow into the Ming Dynasty through Portugal.

Chen Mu positioned all this as a pain, and the maritime environment in the south of the Ming Dynasty was really bad.

In the past, the colonies of Spain and Portugal almost surrounded the Ming Dynasty. Unless he wanted to stay patiently in the country and accumulate strength, he could not get out at all. If he wanted to get out, he had to squeeze out one of them.

The reason why he squeezed out Spain was because Chen Mu wanted to let the silver mine take control of it.

But human desires are difficult to fill. Now that the silver mine has not yet fallen into his hands, he looks at India again.

"Supervisor Chen, I think it's better to tell the Portuguese at this time. The Americas that the Grand Marshal said were too far away. It would be better to step up the attack on General Chen, the Japanese country, to obtain the silver mountain as soon as possible. In addition, there is another place that needs to be managed."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Where?"

"Annan, this place was called Jiaozhi in ancient times, and it was the old place of our Celestial Dynasty. Now it is opposite north and south, with Mo family in the south and Li family in the north, and each attacks each other. Why didn't Chen Shuai take this opportunity to send a caravan to communicate with him and open a business station? If the country is unruly, I heard that the king of Champa fled to Aceh, why didn't he support Aceh to attack Mo family first, help him regain his hometown and then join forces with the southern troops to attack Li family in the water and land."

"In addition, there is also the Great City of Siam." Xu Wei opened his mouth and said, "There are many people in Siam, and they are always rich in Chinese people. The local land is fertile and rich in resources. You can also set up commercial stations to sell bulk goods."

Chen Mu crossed his hands and raised his eyebrows and asked Xu Wei with a smile: "Mr. Xu has known a lot of overseas affairs recently!"

"Since the sir has asked, you will do this matter. It's really going to be faster for Hachiro."

In fact, Chen Mu also knew that Hachiro's affairs were not urgent. When Qi Zhengyan contacted Kasuke Nakayama, he could send troops to Ishimi. If he only attacked himself to achieve the purpose of occupation, it would undoubtedly make things much more complicated. As for now, the affairs over there have been done well.

"Ge Lao Zhang also sent me a letter. At the end of this year, the court will send several Jinshi from the previous years to assist in government affairs, and then it will be used by Haigong." After saying that, Chen Mu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is the book writer here?"

The book writer talks about Yu Shaoyu, and Xu Wei said: "I came the month before yesterday. Not only him, but also more than a dozen novels, essays and scores. What did the Grand Marshal send him to Luzon for?"

"What else can I do? Let him write books and compile heroic aspirations. Looking back, let him show him all the letters and reports of Lin Manjue and Yang Zhaolong, and let him write novels for me."

"Lin Manjue was born in a wild family, and was brave in the village to fight against thieves, attacked thieves overseas, and became promoted and made money; Yang Zhaolong, born in a wealthy family, went to sea to establish a career, led the people to Xinming, and trained dogs... Forget it, this kid would write later, and write a book for Lin Manjue first, which requires glory, wealth, and thrillingness. If it really doesn't work, I will send Yu Shaoyu to Xinming to let him see a different world."
