The results of the recent training and assessment submitted by instructors from five types of troops were placed on the yamen. Three days ago, the Beiyang Military Office just finished its first joint training of five soldiers in a unit of thousands of households. The results were not good, and the three thousand households were deducted from different salary.

After the six-month training period of the Beiyang Army, only more than 230 of the 5,600 posts were completed in the first phase, and nearly half of the flag army could not even receive basic salary if many assessments failed.

The goal of forming an army in June was not achieved. The instructors of each army gave new training plans and re-formulated the training duration, and designed a more targeted training for March to ensure that all flag troops meet the assessment standards.

"What is Gao Gong planning for this matter?"

Chen Lin looked at the decorations in the Beiyang Military Palace's conference hall with his hands on his back. When he heard Chen Mu ask, he turned around and smiled and took out a letter, saying, "I knew you would ask this. The letter Gao Gong gave you is here. He didn't let me say it, but just asked to see if you two thought of going to the same place."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, took the letter and looked slowly. As soon as he looked at two lines, his eyes narrowed and said, "Hong Kong is also interesting!"

This is actually not a letter written by Gao Gong to Chen Mu, but a letter written by Gao Gong to the countries along the Indian coast of Goa, Mughals, and Alakan in Portugal. Gao Gong did not specify the name of the country in the letter, but the words were very serious, and the letters were full of sympathy.

The letter is concise and concise. After all, he was an important minister of the imperial teacher and the imperial chief minister. He had a great power appearance in his writing, but the meaning of the letter was actually only three key points.

First, the Ming Dynasty had strict customs defense. Whether it was the Ming Dynasty merchant ship or the Ming Dynasty vassal merchant ships, they had to go to Malacca to go west to undergo multiple customs inspections. The owners of the merchant ships were serious and legal merchants. It was a very rude behavior to prohibit merchant ships holding Ming Dynasty seals from docking at any port.

Second, given that the pirates attacking various places did have wise people involved, the Ming Atlantic Fleet took this letter to sail along the coast from now on. There will be a large number of merchant ships to transport porcelain, tiles, bonding and other materials and craftsmen. The coastal ports can purchase and hire craftsmen to repair the ports as needed. The Western Military Palace will set a reasonable price and build Ming Chamber of Commerce Halls in various places to strengthen the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and other countries.

Third, in addition to sailing to eliminate pirates, the Ming army's Western fleet was willing to sell a batch of Fran's cannons, fuse bird guns to Western countries at a fair price to help other countries suppress bandits. In order to prevent pirates from haunting the ports of various countries again, they were willing to send 11 to 337 troops along the way, according to the size of the ports of various countries, to assist in port defense and protect Tang merchants.

"Brother, tell the truth to me." Chen Mu rolled the letter under his hands and looked up at Chen Lin and said, "Has Lin Afeng been assigned by Gong Gao to attack the port?"

"Didn't he sent him?"

Chen Lin was stunned by Chen Mu's questioning. He sat on the chair and thought for a while before scratching his face and said, "This is different from what I think. I, Gao Gong, Yin Yangshi, Zhang Shichen, and Bai Jingchen, all thought Lin Afeng was assigned to attack the countries. You were not surprised to hear the Portuguese accusation. Why would you say this?"

Co-option everyone thinks that it is themselves who do such bad things?

Chen Mu opened his mouth several times, and finally he hugged his arms in his chest with some angrily. He spread his hand out and said to Chen Lin: "Lin Feng is a pirate, but we have an appointment first. He can go to Haojing to replenish supplies without attacking Mingchuan. Later, he has been working together, but he has never been given a second position. The pirates attacked several ports and raided the merchant ships. How surprised is my brother?"

"At most I just went north and gave him a map of the world, for fear that after the report, I would be transferred to another place, and a hero from the sea was killed by his successor in Nanyang, so that he knew that there were many good places in this world, and that my heroes in China didn't have to fight to the death." As he said that, Chen Mu let go of his wrist guards with his arms and placed them on the table, shook his red official robe and wide sleeves and said, "I have always advocated the expulsion of the barbarians, you all know."

"But if you want to assign Lin Feng to attack, and then tell me to clean up the mess in the South and the West - it seems unnecessary in my opinion, so I didn't think about that direction. I guess Mr. Yin could just use his dignified formation to clean up the west side."

Chen Mu said as he raised his hand on the letter and pointed to the letter: "I think that Mr. Gao is the one who can't leak water. He has sent Lin Feng. The fleet sailed, exported building materials, and the vassal states to afford the arms of the vassal states. The ports sent garrisons, and the words were reasonable and well-founded, and Lin Feng was not mentioned from beginning to end."

"Does Gao Gong think Lin Feng is doing well?"

"It's not that good. This is a bad thing that violates the law and discipline. However, all the ministers in Nanyang thought that having Lin Feng overseas was not a bad thing. Pirates have been there since ancient times, and there are countless suppressions. Even if they are now launching a large army to wipe out, they will still have Liu Feng and Yang Feng if they are gone in the future."

Chen Lin sat in the second seat of the conference hall with a big sword, holding his knee with one hand on the edge of the table, saying, "It's better to have Lin Feng on the sea today, which can restrain the largest pirates in the world and not attack the Ming ships. When needed, they can still use them to merge other countries' pirates that disrupt the trade routes. How did you control the pirates? It's obvious to all in the South China Sea. Therefore, Gao Gong plans to continue to implement your policy on the pirates until-"

Chen Mu kept listening carefully and continued, "Until Lin Fengwei was too big to lose?"

"right."

"You can rest assured that one day Lin Feng is an enemy of the State and Gong Gao has placed a spy next to him. Last year, three middle-level generals who came from the Nanyang Martial Arts Hall were transferred to four graduates. They did not know each other and were placed among the pirates in various identities. Lin Feng rebelled today and would have his head landed tomorrow, and the pirates would naturally fall apart."

Chen Mu frowned. Gao Gong was a bit ruthless. He said, "The students in the martial arts lecture hall are all the prides of heaven. If they let them go to pirates to make a living, they will have resentment in their hearts. In terms of knowledge and talent, they are much bigger than Lin Feng. If they can easily become the ministers of Lin Feng's command. Even if Lin Feng can be stabbed to death, there will be a second Lin Feng, and they will be even more powerful than Lin Feng."

"How can I recall it when I am used to making trouble?"

Chen Lin shook his head slowly and said, "They were dead. Mr. Gao had not planned to recall them from the beginning. The order given to them was not to inform Lin Feng at any time. He only said that one day the sea changes, and they could replace them. As long as they did not blame the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would always be their backing. Gong Gao found several big sea merchants from Haojing and Yuegang, intending to let them follow the fleet to find Lin Feng's place, buy the goods he plundered at a low price and sell them again. Alas!"

As he said that, Chen Lin sighed heavily, looking at his brothers with unrecognizable gaze, and said, "No matter how upright a person sits in the position of Minister of South China, it will become like this!"

Chen Lin, who was in Nanyang, could feel that many ministers tried hard to turn the overseas policies of the Ming Dynasty back to the great formation of the Zheng He era, and they did not make these things happen, but what was helpless was that the tone of the entire Nanyang Military Palace had been set by one of his own brothers and could not be changed.

Chen Mu ignored his joke, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and asked, "What are the names of those seven people? Do they have parents and children?"

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and his head was like a rattle, and he said, "It's not that I won't tell you, but no one knows it. The only ones who know this in Nanyang are Gao Gong, I and Bai Jingchen. As for whom the seven people's surnames and names are only Gao Gong himself. However, if you want to investigate, it's not that you can't find out-Gao Wuguan has taken over sixteen adopted sons."

"The blood of the Gao family is prosperous!"
