Chapter 28 Goose Dog
The envoy of the Portuguese Indian Governor General came earlier than Tang Juan, but the Governor's confidants were very dissatisfied with everything about Macau and had no ability to change the status quo, not to mention that he was holding a more sad treaty in his hand.
So he got angry and simply asked Chen Mu, the person in charge of Haojing, Huang Cheng, to find him a place to live, and took his Great Dane for half a month without going out.
Only after hearing that Chen Mu had arrived did he ask the delegation to prepare for his work and clenched his fists to cheer himself up. He must not be scared by this vicious butcher. He wanted to take a letter to Beijing to meet the emperor!
In the letters conveyed by the Jesuits to the new governor of India, other Ming people were more reasonable and kind than Chen Mu, which was almost a rule.
The farmer is kinder than Chen Mu, and the officials are kinder than farmers. It is obvious that their emperor should be kinder than the officials, so... we can conclude that the Ming Emperor is more than 18,000 times more kinder than Chen Mu!
However, when Chen Mu first arrived at Haojing, he ignored him. Lou Qimai, who was sent to Liu Xian to fight against Jiusiman last year, came back. He heard that Sichuan was very clear at Yang Yinglong's suggestion that he could send someone to his brother-in-law when he was placed in prisoners.
Chen Mu went to Guangzhou Prefecture to welcome Lou Qimai, and then returned to Haojing and brought two big geese to come.
Heiwa was in heat some time ago. This young man who got from Mongolia was energetic. Although he was short, he was full of energy and lost a lot of weight. Chen Mu couldn't bear to ride it and put it in the newly opened horse farm in Qiongzhou Prefecture to raise it.
Horses have a long estrus period, but they are too lazy to have a rudder around when they are hot.
The white girl with big belly didn't go and rested in the stables of the royal city of Manila. There was a groom who had not escaped after being defeated in Spain in the past. The grooms in the military government learned from them how to raise Andalusian horses. They didn't dare to let them go anywhere else, for fear of raising these good horses to death.
There were four mares in Andalusian Mali, which were previously rewarded to his subordinates and generals, and all stallions were beaten, so they could only find Mongolian horses to breed them. Fortunately, Chen Mu used to get a batch of unscrupulous horses from Altan in the north. His subordinates usually rode on a step, and now they were all taken to make seeds.
At the beginning of this year, while Chen Mu sent Zhao Shizhen to Beijing, he also asked him to convey to the Ministry of War that he would allocate a batch of war horses and wanted to ship to Xinming to build a horse farm.
Although the horse farm in Qiongzhou Prefecture has been established, the terrain and environment there limit the size of the horse farm. Yang Zhaolong told his brother-in-law that he had a better choice in his letter.
While training wild dogs, trade with indigenous people and teaching them to speak Chinese, Yang Zhaolong discovered the grassland. Although Mongolian horses may not be suitable for living there, many places are always good, and Yang Zhaolong does need a horse.
In recent letters, Yang Zhaolong's life there has been on the right track. He is happy to explore Xinming and hopes that Chen Mu will take a look when he has time and send him more people. He wants everyone, as long as he is a human being.
He said that he had organized several tribes that were nomadic on two legs, and had over 2,700 people under his command, five villages under his jurisdiction, irrigated rivers, reclaimed more than 5,700 acres of fertile land, built four canals, built two bridges, and paved roads for 48 miles. There was no conflict, and everyone had fields to cultivate, which was simply the Peach Blossom Land in the story.
He also relied on the power of the natives to pull the crocodile out of the river and put it on the oven, expanding his territory from Yanglai Bay to the east for 86 miles to the cliffs of the mountains; forty-seven miles westward, and spreading his footprints all over the bay; going south for 120 miles southward, facing the grasslands endlessly.
Through the letter Chen Mu, he could feel the impact of the reclamation of the new continent on Yang Zhaolong, allowing him to write down every inch of land he had stepped on, reclaim every acre of farmland, and wad through every river in the letter.
Apart from the poor soil, there is nothing wrong with that new continent. Even if the soil is poor, Yang Zhaolong doesn’t care. He wants cattle, sheep, and horses, and he wants more people.
In time, the existence of the New World will hit everyone in the entire empire, far ahead of Luzon and Sulu countries. In Yang Zhaolong, Chen Mu became more aware of the mentality of his compatriots who were in his contemporaries towards overseas.
Even if he used war as a means and help as an excuse to put the colony in a cloak of friendship and realize his sinister intention of conquering and assimilation, the Ming people would not have a desire for such behavior, nor would they have a fanatical mentality like the great geographical discoveries of Europeans.
They passively accepted Chen Mu's feedback overseas without any hesitation, enjoying his achievements without any desire to drive them into it.
Because in Luzon, in Sulu, in Ryukyu, and in Borneo, the era when the emperor was home to the world was long gone, and there were two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the blessed ships flying inlaid with dragon flags were guests everywhere.
Xinming is different, they can be the masters there.
Yang Zhaolong's excitement also brought great excitement to Chen Mu.
His sense of accomplishment was quickly dispelled by the rope that was pulled straight on his hands. Opposite the municipal square, the powerful Great Dane, the Portuguese Governor's mission, kicked his front paws uneasily, lowered his head and bowed his body and let out a daunting roar.
Even the European hunting dog, who was not panicked when he followed his master as a mercenary to enter the battle in the Mughal Empire, had to show his defensive posture when facing the two big winged geese that were eager to try.
Even if the owner asked the Great Danes not to make trouble with a standard command, it would be useless, because Chen Mu spread his hands and said, "I know how to train a dog, can you train a geese? Anyway, I can't, I can't control it."
As the saying goes, dogs are afraid of people bent over, wolves are afraid of people taking out their knife, but geese are not afraid of anything. Everything in this world is very small in their eyes, and small things can be beaten.
When the two big geese stretched their wings three feet above the ground and sang loudly at the Great Danes, the brave hunting dog was slapped on the face by the big goose wings. Before they could fight back, they were pecked at the two of them. They whined and protected their dicks and fled. Chen Mu seemed to see a brave Japanese warrior leaping towards the rustic wolf sir without hesitation.
The expression of the governor's envoy became more and more embarrassing. The Portuguese officer who was arrogant in any corner of the world was very unhappy about bowing to Chen Mu here. He was unwilling to stay for a moment and said, "Dear Ming General, His Excellency Anthony, the Governor of India, to greet you, and I will bring you a treaty for joint defense of three ports west of Malacca. I hope the general can stop those pirates who do nothing."
"Your Excellency seems to be in a hurry. Let's go to the yamen to discuss."
Chen Mu was about to go to the municipal yamen, and the Indian governor envoy said: "I still have military affairs in my hometown, so please ask the general as soon as possible."
"Haha, don't be anxious, it will be quick." Chen Mu rarely said their words on his territory, without blindly belittling or bullying others. After all, he was just a little bad-hearted and didn't feel much disgusted with the Portuguese, and said, "The peace convoy sent by the Spanish king is also waiting."
