Zhang Juzheng named the three warships that were traveling around the world.

Whether the cruise fleet can sail is up to date, and there is no need to think about the naming of the warships.

At first, this was a matter that had both advantages and disadvantages for the Ming Dynasty. When the naming of the civil and military warship was thrown out by Chen Mu, it became a matter that had both advantages and disadvantages for Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang.

He couldn't agree so quickly.

However, for the first time, Zhang Juzheng actually asked Chen Mu about the specifications and military configurations of these three warships, which made Chen Mu feel excited.

Zhang Juzheng's meaning was to ask Chen Mu not to make a statement for the time being, and prepare four ships. When these four warships are built, people will first drive to Tianjin Port. After he has seen it, he will discuss this matter. The ship should not have any decorations, only set up military equipment.

If not, just transfer it to the Navy and listen to it.

Obviously, no matter how much Zhang Juzheng considered, he would have been moved.

Not only Chen Mu was happy, but Zhang Juzheng was also happy. He once again discovered Chen Mu's characteristics - this person is very good at turning what he wanted to do into other people's things to make people die.

This trait will be of great help tonight's banquet.

There were not many participants at the banquet, but there were very scenes. All the six ministers of the ministers came and there were a few old acquaintances.

In addition to the Shangshu, Qi Jiguang, the Prime Minister of Ji Town, would probably have to be ranked to the last seat if he strictly ranks. However, it is obvious that Qi Shuai is the protagonist today, ranking second seat on the right, and the main seat is left for Chen Mu. However, Chen Mu felt that it might be left for him to be humble, so he used words to bring Qi Jiguang back to the seat.

If he was in Nanyang, he would sit in the upper seat. This is Shuntian and Qi Shuai’s territory!

Chen Mu, the Minister of Personnel, is the most familiar. He is not unfair to come back to pay New Year's greetings and kowtows, because that is the boss Zhang Han. Since Chen Mu entered the door, he looked at him with a smile. The more he looked, the more he was happy, and he looked like he was hoping that his son would become a dragon.

Although Chen Mu has only seen Wang Guoguang of the Ministry of Revenue several times, the Nanyang Military Office and the Ministry of Revenue are equivalent to "cooperation units". Every year, Beijing transports silver to the Ministry of Revenue, and there are many people who have had their relationships.

Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, is a few officials in the court and the country who do not obey Zhang Juzheng. Today, I heard the emperor mention him in the palace. In the past, when Wanli was the crown prince, he was the crown prince's lecturer. The emperor missed him very much and wanted him to serve as the lecturer on the same position as the lecturer. However, this was unacceptable to Zhang Juzheng, so he rejected it on the grounds that the Secretary of the State was busy with his affairs. Now he is only a Secretary of the State, and he has no power to speak on the day and is only a lecturer on the lecturer.

Just kidding, how can the responsibilities of teaching the emperor day and night be faked by others? Even the textbooks written by Chen Mu have to be translated by Zhang Juzheng himself.

Chen Mu saw himself in Ma Ziqiang. Just this point alone, Zhang Juzheng would not allow him to stay in Beijing for a long time. It would not take long for him to give him a new responsibility to go to other places to shine and heat. He was also content with this - people like him were much more comfortable to take power overseas than to be restrained in China.

Ma Ziqiang also bowed to Chen Mugong and thanked with a smile: "Since the founding of the country, the court's tribute has been a confusing account that has been fooled by the princes of various countries. Even outside the border and Japan are not clear. Thanks to the general's attention to intelligence, the situation of overseas countries has been clear in recent years, and the country's names have been fixed. Qi Shuai also sent people to investigate the Mobei, and he has a good grasp of the situation of his neighbors, which is of great use to the Ministry of Rites!"

This is both funny and lamentable. Some things in this world are very strange. The development of history is not absolute. Too many things are not impossible, but they do not know that things can be done.

Just like the Americans in Amelica ride horses, let alone whether there is a horse or not. Even if they see a horse, they will kill and eat meat because they don’t know that animals can be used to ride.

It is not necessary to say that the Minister of War Tan Lun and the Minister of Justice Wang Chonggu. The Minister of Works changed his new name to Guo Chaobin, and he was not afraid of Zhang Juzheng. The minister who was the minister of Zheng repeatedly opposed Zhang Juzheng's digging of Jiaolai Rivers several times because he had conducted on-site inspections and proved that it was not the time to dig the canal.

These people gathered together, which had a great impact on Chen Mu, and especially made him curious about why Zhang Juzheng had gathered them together. He did not sleep at night, sat here without listening to opera or singing music, and his words were relaxed and serious, which obviously meant to agree on major events.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Juzheng cleared his throat and said to everyone: "For several years, he has spent tens of millions of yuan. The imperial court has finally repaired and strengthened the Great Wall defense line. Qi Shuai talked about the loss of the northern border and moved south to the Beiping Xingdusi, which increased the power of the three guards of Wuliangha, and even Jizhen lost its flanks and faced the Northern Barbarians."

"I'm going to come today. The first thing is to discuss. Is there any way to let the court set up another Beiping Dusi?"

Everyone agreed, such as the old man Zhang Han, who only followed the leader of the Pavilion, but did not give any substantial answers; there were also those who opposed it, such as Wang Chonggu, who was an expert in dealing with the northern barbarians outside the Great Wall, was very optimistic about this, and believed that the status quo was not easy, and the north had already bowed down and surrendered, and it was suspicious to attack again.

Qi Jiguang explained: "The Great Wall defense line is an important matter, and it is not a radical attempt to attack Mongolia. The enemy is riding our chariot, and it is already focused on defense and less on attack, and it is not mobility enough. Moreover, it is difficult to find the main force when going out of the frontier. If the food route is cut off, the soldiers will die and live. However, you are all important officials of the court, and you are just preparing for the future."

All dynasties have been repairing the Great Wall, and there is no way to do it. Of course, there is also a dynasty that does not repair it. That is the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang army, who is more fierce than nomads, thinks they don’t need the Great Wall, so what do they need the Great Wall?

In that era, the Great Wall was used to delay the speed of the Tang army's attack and protect the enemies outside the border.

Chen Mu is the first to two big deals. What did Zhang Juzheng ask for himself to do when discussing such a thing?

His Nanyang Army had strong combat power, but it was dependent on the transportation of supplies after controlling the sea power. Without logistics supplies on land, even if his flag army descended to earth, he would go north at most 200 miles and catch them before they even crossed the Bansheng.

What's more, if the returns are too low, it is better to expand to the sea than to pay. When productivity development changes qualitatively, outside the Great Wall will no longer be a powerful opponent.

"What is Chen Shuai's great opinion? You destroyed the country overseas and served more than ten countries, and the means emerged one after another. In addition to the supply of silver and grain, what methods can you help the court gain an advantage besides the war?"

When Chen Mu heard Zhang Juzheng's question, his eyebrows relaxed. Judging from this, it was not that Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng were dizzy and tried to solve the problem with military problems. It seemed that they had reached a consensus.

In fact, this is also the inevitable result of the development of productivity and the inflated silver and grain. Problems outside the Great Frontier have always been high in the minds of the wise rulers and ministers. In the past, internal problems have not yet subsided, and there is no spare energy to consider more. Naturally, no one will think of these things. Now that the inflated silver and grain are full, there are only three Xuan and six comforting Mang Yinglong for a while in two capitals and 13 provinces. It is already very impressive.

Court officials can also free up their hands to think about more things.

Chen Mu nodded and said, "I also thought that the time to send troops to the north and use strong soldiers and generals to solve the problem of the Northern Barbarians once and for all, but if the court wants to make some preparations for the younger generation, I think it can be a try."

"Deepen the ties in business and sign treaties with the leaders of various departments, allowing Ming people to travel to various places to sell merchants and goods outside the Great Wall to go deep into the area, and install spies to survey and map detailed maps of various places, heading north, west, and east, the farther the better. The Ming Dynasty should understand the surrounding situation, collect intelligence for a long time, and set up a special officer department in the middle school to master strategies and understand the officials outside the Great Wall to deduce their leader replacement, and wars in the future."

"Military setting up city defense along the Great Wall such as Bansheng outside the Great Wall. I went to see Altan. I remember that he said that the formation of Bansheng was because the Ming people did not dare to go out of the frontier, and the enemy cavalry did not dare to approach the frontier. Now all places have surrendered. My Ming people should dare to go out of the frontier, which will bring contradictions, but even if the battle occurs, it is very small. The border general can control it and further encroach on it to gain an advantage."

"There is another point." Chen Mu smiled. What he said represents his opinion. There is no major threat in the current northern part of the country. He said: "In the Xuanda area, more wool mills are built, more cotton thread factories are built, more cotton thread factories are built, but a small policy adjustment can affect the trends of private merchants."
