It’s really not that Chen Mu is shameless. Mo Jingdian was indeed dragged by him. It was an exaggeration to say that the siege was an exaggeration, but he was the only way to block Mo Jingdian’s army from returning to the north.

There are several roads from Qinghua to Shenglong, but there is a must-pass place for these roads, which is Nanshan.

The foot of the mountain is close to the sea and the road is on the side of the sea. It just happens to be within the range of the heavy artillery of the Chihai-class warships. Whenever Mo Jingdian's soldiers and horses have any signs of trying to pass here, the twelve Chihai-class warships will bombard them with heavy artillery.

Even if they rush, the four thousand military guards and flag troops at the foot of the mountain set up camp, dig trenches, and build civil and wooden bunkers, no one could forcibly break through the military guards and defense line.

In this way, Mo Jingdian could not walk. He would either go north to walk the mountain path three hundred miles away, or walk halfway up the mountain, or other dangerous paths would be fine, and he would inevitably face another result.

The army will be forced to disperse into small troops, and the small troops, the thousands of households under Deng Zilong, are waiting on the other side of the mountain, not to mention that there is a Lin Manjue in the mountain.

Chen Mu feels very comfortable!

Not only did he block Mo Jingdian in Nanshan, but more importantly, he achieved his true goal of participating in the Battle of Annan and shocked others.

The news about Annan always spreads very slowly, but the news that the Ming army defeated Mo Jingdian in Guteng County still spread south, far away.

Nanshan Camp.

Chen Mu played with the seal of the general guarding officer of Guangnan, Annan State, who was sent by the sea sailors, and looked at the important officials of the Southern Dynasty who were nearly 40 years old, wearing a straw raincoat and wearing a hat. He raised his hand to hand the seal to the family soldiers, and his family soldiers returned the seal to Ruan Huang.

Chen Mu looked at him with a restrained look and asked Ruan Huang to sit down in the tent. He said, "Chen escaped the siege of Yi'an, but he did not see Pan Gongji accompany the army; he escaped the siege of Qinghua, but he did not see Zheng Song coming; but General Ruan, who had never had contact with him, came. I don't understand, what's going on?"

"That's because they are rude. Even if there are many wrong people and things, it's not wrong to come to pay a visit."

Ruan Huang bowed and thanked Chen Mu before sitting down. Although he was dressed in a fisherman's outfit, his right demeanor could not deceive others. He nodded and chuckled, saying, "Guangnan, Hue, has been despicable since ancient times, and has been exiled in places where he was exiled. However, General Daming was like thunder pouring into his ears a few years ago. When he heard that the general defeated Ruan Juan of the Northern Dynasty, he came to pay a visit."

He first said that his territory was very poor. Chen Mu understood it. He raised his hand and smiled, "Your clothes don't look like you are visiting me for a special visit. Are you here to borrow soldiers?"

"The general is joking. Although there are always bandits in the Guangshun area, Mo Jingdian led the navy to attack earlier. Although I am weak, they are not opponents and have not come to take refuge. This outfit."

Ruan Huang smiled happily and said, "The Zheng family in Qinghua has wanted to get rid of me since his father Zheng Jian, so he has to be quick and he has to be careful."

"Guangshun is not as clear as Shenglong. It is located in a remote area, with a sparse population, and there is also insufficient daily use for people's livelihood. I came down to see the general and the other is for business."

"There are merchants who come and go that the general has a fleet of merchants under his command. Now the general is in charge of foreign countries. I would like to ask the general to send a fleet to and from Malacca to buy and sell in Guangshun."

trading?

Chen Mu was interested. He thought that the soldiers from all over the country of Annan only knew about war. Unexpectedly, there was a smart man who knew what the nature of war was fighting. He said, "I seemed to hear from your lord just now that the land of Guangshun was exhausted. Even if my caravan went to Hue, what would I sell?"

"What can you buy?"

"It is true that Guangshun is poor, but the poverty in the land is because there is no trade. Once trade is traded, it will no longer be poor." Ruan Huang said this and his eyes were shining. He said: "Thousands of miles north and south, there are more than 400,000 people, the mountains have gold and iron, and the sea has fishing salt."

"As long as the general's merchant ship can reach Guangnan..."

Chen Mu usually doesn't like to interrupt others' words, but this time, he frowned and said, "Chen is not opposed to the trade between merchants and Guangnan Hue, but General Ruan, as far as I know, Guangnan Hue does not even have a decent unloading port. Is it too early to say this?"

"I have found the harbor at the lower level. The coast of Hoi'an is 60 miles deep and sheltered from the wind. I know the rules of the Nanyang Military Administration. If I don't like the harbor at Hoi'an, I will follow the general to take the coast under my control and build camps and ships to station warships."

Ruan Huang said, bowing again and said, "I'll say the same thing. As long as the general's merchant ship arrives in Guangnan, I will buy whatever the merchant wants. In addition to the grain and the people, I will sell whatever the general wants!"

Obviously Ruan Huang came prepared. This was not the first time Chen Mu saw someone begging him to garrison the army. He had sufficient experience to deal with this situation.

Often, small overseas countries beg him to garrison and trade. Just like Ruan Huang now, there is only one possibility in those places - a poor place that he doesn't want for free.

But this does not prevent Chen Mu from appreciating Ruan Huang's courage.

Although the man in front of him was wearing a straw raincoat, asking for humility and governing the land of poverty, he was not a pauper, and his power could be comparable to that of the king and the lord of 400,000 people in a hundred miles.

Chen Mu has never been to Hue, Guangnan, but he can feel that this person is willing to be prosperous and strong at all costs.

"How much can you sell gold, silver, copper and iron, good materials, beautiful wood, and salt and soil in a year?"

Ruan Huang's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "A year of gold is 400 kilograms, copper is 20,000 kilograms, iron is 80,000 kilograms, salt is 30,000 shi, and wood is inexhaustible!"

"There are not much, cotton, pottery, porcelain, dyes, tea sugar, wine, candles, spices, how much can you eat, what do you want most?"

In fact, this answer was already revealed in Chen Mu's heart. He knew what Guangnan Hue wanted most.

Ruan Huang firmly said: "Steel!"

"What do you want steel to do?"

"Make weapons!"

"Who to kill for making weapons?"

Ruan Huang stopped, with a little worry on his face that should not exist, and said, "I'm not hiding it. Zheng regards me as a thorn in his eyes. Now the general attacks me. When Zheng Song has no major troubles in the Northern Dynasties, he will look back and attack me. He will not kill anyone, but he will protect himself and seek survival."

Chen Mu nodded slowly, thought for a moment and nodded, "After the war in Shenglong, someone will go to your territory to find a good port. The port will be completed within half a year. The imperial court stationed 1,000 troops, gold, copper and iron, as you said, changing thousands of troops every year."

"The dagger, knife, spear, ring mail, horn, arm binding, and shin guard each, with two kilograms of cannons and two big tigers squats."

"The rest of the wood, stone, fine salt, are sold by merchants and other daily necessities of the people."

Chen Mu closed his eyes and said the appropriate goods, opened his eyes and said, "How?"

Ruan Huang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for your fulfillment!"

"Don't thank me, I'm open and honest. I don't look down on the little products of Guangnan Hue." Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at Ruan Huang lightly: "But I'm looking at you. I've heard people say that you went to Guangshun because of a word, the Hengshan area will last forever?"
