Chapter 51 Flying Fish
What a mess?
No wonder Xu Jue agreed so readily to his request.
He and Chen Ju got involved in the battle between Sili Supervisor in charge of the seal and eunuch!
During this period of the Ming Dynasty, what Zhuge Liang said was "the palace and the palace are integrated into one". Originally, after the eunuch Li Fang, the person who was most likely to be the eunuch in charge of the seal was Feng Bao, but when Gao Gong entered the pavilion, he recommended Chen Hong to take the lead. When Chen Hong was dismissed, Feng Bao was the most qualified one. As a result, Gao Gong recommended Meng Chong, who was a chef, to be the chef.
In fact, it may not be said that Gao Gong and Feng Baoyou are so inconsistent, nor that he likes Chen Hong and Meng Chong much, but Gao Gong is too arrogant and he looks down on the middle-level officials at all. It is not important for him who is the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Si Li and the Chief Secretary. The only one is to be obedient.
The department with the greatest authority in the Sili Supervisor is naturally the Imperial Horse Supervisor controlled by Feng Bao. This happened several times and repeatedly, and Feng Bao was also inconsistent with Gao Gong.
This time, Chen Ju performed a cannon ceremony in Beijing. His original intention was to show the soldiers of the Shenji Camp new artillery. He also planned to order a batch of cannons from the Nanyang Guard in the future. However, Gao Gong and Meng Chong watched the ceremony and attracted Feng Bao's jealousy and wanted to do something big.
Chen Mu thought about it and found that this matter would not harm him, and he would not say that he would offend anyone.
Feng Bao took the lead in the military parade and did not do his business. He just led his troops to perform. Moreover, since Feng Bao persuaded the emperor to parade, he had no intention of pointing at Gao Gong. He was just asking the emperor for favor. He would call all the cabinet ministers and high-ranking officials. If he really said that offends, he would offend the soldiers in the Beijing camp.
Who cares?
Compared with this once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity, who cares whether or not the Beijing camp?
His Nanyang Guard Banner Army is not the best in the world, but it depends on who is leading the troops. General Chen is definitely the best in the world when he walks into a square formation!
"I wonder how Master Feng arranged this military parade?"
Feng Bao was the admiral of the East Factory. Chen Mu called the Lord to supervise the Lord, but he stopped Xu Jue. Feng Bao was quite talented and skilled in calligraphy, painting and piano. He lived in the deep palace for a long time and mastered the Imperial Horse Supervisor. He was enough to be the minister of government affairs. He knew very well in military affairs, but he was not a weak point.
But how to parade the military is beyond the duty of an internal official. The matter is left to Xu Jue, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Xu Jue, without thinking about it. At this time, Chen Mu asked, and stuttered, "Just, just like the previous big reading, let the soldiers of the three major camps practice. Your Majesty will take the stage, and how can you read it?"
"Hi!"
Chen Mu slapped the desk, raised his legs and leaned back, and asked, "Your Majesty also wants to go on stage. Brother, isn't it a low-level?"
He didn't care whether Xu Jue could understand the meaning of the word grade, and then said, "Your Majesty is asked to parade the military. Do you have to watch the same thing as those cabinet ministers and the prime minister of the Beijing camp? Your Majesty doesn't need to watch them practice. If you want to see them, just look at the results of their practice!"
"Your Majesty does not need to go to the stage. Just be at Yongding Gate. The police went in and out, and the main street outside the city was closed. The army was practicing in the south. The parade team walked from the left Ding Gate to the right Ding Gate. Your Majesty was at Yongding Gate's Grand Military Academy. Those with guns fired guns in the south of Yongding Gate, and those with guns fired guns in the south of Yongding Gate. Each military academies picked out five hundred-man teams. Your Majesty could finish the army in one hour."
Chen Mu spread his hands and said, "Not only the troops of Jingying, but also the troops of Tianjin Wei, Jizhen, Liaodong, and Datong, even the Jinyiwei can send them five hundred-man teams to let His Majesty see them, so that they can see the atmosphere of the soldiers and horses from all directions."
"The military soldiers in various places are of varying quality, and you can choose the best five hundred-man teams to read. Think about it, what is the atmosphere?"
Xu Jue was stunned by Chen Mu's words and swallowed slowly. Although he didn't know why Chen Mu chose Yongding Sect, his idea of five hundred border troops from all over the country entering the military parade was really unexplainable. Xu Jue could even think that he would do this. Not to mention Feng Bao's face, his status in the capital would also increase in the future. He immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Mu, "Brother, you have to help brother in this matter!"
Isn’t that what Mr. Chen is waiting for?
Why did he say he wanted a team of five hundred people? Because only five hundred people can take it out!
Moreover, these five hundred people were trained by him in the Nanyang Guard. The queues are simply too slight. In addition, the complete set of new carousels, bird guns and cannons, not to mention the East Three Borders and the Jinyiwei, they will be able to attract all the soldiers in the world, and no one can surpass his soldiers in terms of spirit!
"It is very easy to come up with new tricks. I picked hundreds of adults to enter the palace and had a loud voice. Well, what do you think, let them recite the words in advance. For example, when Qi Shuai's army came, they would let them read to His Majesty loudly: This is the Zhejiang soldiers in Jizhen, the generals are the Shishang, and the Tatars in the south are suppressed in the north, and they are not afraid of death and have made outstanding achievements; this is the Iron Cavalry of Liaodong, General Li's subordinates..."
Chen Mu clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty must not know who is his army, but who can still not know after such a report? Then, when the generals from all over the country inquired, this matter was sponsored by Governor Feng. Can the supervisor's reputation not be left behind? Then, I found out that it was your brother Xu who was responsible for it. How can you not be favored?"
Chen Mu enjoyed Xu Dapang's admiration, and then said, "The military parade is definitely not to please Your Majesty's waste of money, but also to shock the four barbarians. The foreign envoys who stayed in the capital from all over the country, such as Hannaji, who had just surrendered, and the descendants of the chieftains in the Imperial College, all invited them to the city to watch the ceremony, and even invited the envoys of Tumot and Ola to watch the ceremony, so as to achieve the purpose of defeating the army without fighting, which would be a benefit."
"If this military parade is recommended as a custom in the future, the soldiers and horses from all directions will practice diligently to correct the military situation. Just like the guards in the world, there may not even be 500 troops to watch now, but if the military parade in Beijing is recommended as a custom, they will have to train 500 troops to watch in the future. Isn't this the second advantage?"
"Wait, brother, you've said too much." Xu Jue's head was so big that he looked at Chen Mu, looking at him, and couldn't think of how he had so many things he could pick up. "Originally, my godfather wanted to ask His Majesty to regain his face when he was parade. You are... not simple. Brother, can you write a copy for Brother Wei?"
"Don't worry, I will never let you do your work for nothing. Godfather will definitely speak up for you. And you Yanqing will cover your affairs!" Xu Jue slapped his chest and said, "Your business is mine. If they dare to occupy your mine, they will occupy my mine. My brother will do it all for you!"
Xu Jue said, frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said with a happy smile: "I almost forgot that my brother has some good things to tell you. You are winning a big victory in Mahe. Guess what kind of merit you can get?"
Chen Mu shook his head. He knew what kind of achievements he would get, so he saw Xu Jue spit out a few words mysteriously.
"Not to mention the official position, Your Majesty wants to give you a second-grade flying fish suit!"
