Zhang Juzheng wrote in detail about the clues of military affairs in the Xuanfu and the help the court could provide, just like his letters to the generals of the Jiubian Towns, his words were respectful and he did not look down on Chen Mu's youth.

This kind of trick was also used by Chen Muzhi in the past. When his status is higher than others, as long as he can treat him fairly or even treat him with a little intimate manner, people will have extraordinary respect for him.

But the difference is that Zhang Juzheng is more sophisticated, and his words are humble and treated with others in person, but how does it feel when he finally read it?

It's him who is very difficult to get along with.

Chen Mu thought that this was the feeling he deliberately created in the letters.

The only thing that is interesting in this letter is that Zhang Ju was asking about the Nanyang Guard, asking him about warships, asking him about coastal defense, and asking him about the entry of various overseas countries.

He asked the right person. Yu Long, Qi, Hu, Tan Gancheng knew at most two of these three things, and he was not as good as he knew the division of shipbuilding, artillery and sea defense. However, no one in the world knew more about this third thing than him!

On the fifth day after Zhang Juzheng's letter, Chen Mu sent a rider to get on the horse outside Xuanfu City, carefully installed his personal letters and ran to the east, and took the urgent order to the post station checkpoint along the way to deliver the letter to the residence of the cabinet minister in the Beijing.

During these five days, Chen Mu also exchanged views with the Dong brothers on the Changping Precision Edition of the Flag Army Training Manual, and made some modifications and published more than 10,000 copies from Xuanfu, the largest of which was the small flag version, and the commander's version only printed a hundred copies.

There are hundreds of commanders in the Xuanfu area, and it is hard to say that the redundant officials are serious or the reduction in personnel is severe. After all, the commander of the Nine Borders is a high-risk industry and may die this year and next year, so someone will always take over.

While trying to get on the right track in Chen Mu's heart with Xuanfu, in the distant Guangdong, the commander of the Nanyang Guard sent someone to go on horseback with his own letters to Changping. He felt the atmosphere of the storm. Although he didn't know who he was, there was a big problem with the Nanyang Guard in the past two days.

Those figures with dusty accents and dusty figures were qualified to board the ship in Haojing through various means. They were old and young, from all walks of life, businessmen, doctors, craftsmen, soldiers, noble men with folding fans and blue shirts, ragged escapees, and even Japanese pirates covering their hair. They arrived at Haojing at this time at the same time.

Their destinations are also diverse, including Malacca, Mantaga, Johor, Perak, and Old Port. Of course, some people choose to stay in Hokkien.

This sudden incident made Bai Yuanjie feel uneasy. He even guessed whether Chen Mu was in the north and led to a sudden subtle change in Hao Jing - this is not nonsense. Chen Mu was very brave and Bai Yuanjie had always known it.

The most important thing is the order from the right governor Yu Dayou, so that the Nanyang Guard will let the changes in Haojing be allowed to be followed and not interfere with it.

Bai Yuanjie's heart was relieved. Although he didn't know what was going on, at least it didn't seem to be for Chen Mu or for them.

Seeing the rider getting farther and farther away, Bai Yuanjie waved her hand in a little annoyed and ordered to the left and right: "Tell Fu Qianhu, let the dozen idiots caught in the garrison, don't let them go directly."

"Beat it first and then try it out. No matter whether you can find a fart, you have to let it go."

The commander Lao Bai's eyes were filled with wisdom and said quietly: "This may be the only chance you will beat them in your life, and you should not miss it."

The left and right flag officials did not understand what the commander meant, and Bai Yuanjie didn't say much, but later when he summoned the heads and deputy chiefs of the five institutes, he specially reminded them to not make mistakes.

In the next few days and nights, Bai Yuanjie often sat in Chen Mu's house in Weigang, lighting the lights and looking at the picture hanging on the wall, whether it was a pirate, a maritime merchant, or a chart brought back by He Xingsheng. He thought Chen Mu would like the furnishings of this house.

There is Bai Yuanjie's home in Weigang. The Bai family house is separated by a wall. This is in the middle of Weigang. This is not much like a mansion of a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, but more like a mansion and a command center. He knew that Chen Mu did not need a house. In the past, this guy in Xiangshan only slept in Qianhu House, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in Qianhu Yamen outside.

The middle floor of the spacious yard main hall was dug out three meters square and one foot deep sand table, with twenty-six seats on both sides, all of which were carefully selected and made of good woodworking materials. Behind the chair was the Ming General Armour, the Japanese pirate general Armour, and the Xifan used Armour as an exhibition decoration.

There must be soldiers if there is armor. Although there is no porcelain frame, there are two sets of weapon frames: Chen Ming’s battle sword on the left, Japanese long swords and Western stabbing swords; Chen Chen’s flint bird gun, bowstring bird gun, flint bird gun, and bayonet heavy gun.

The walls are commonly used to place literati calligraphy or portraits of ancestors behind the main seat in the hall. Bai Yuanjie thought about it and then thought that Chen Mu had any ancestors who could hang on the wall. So he simply asked a painter to follow various wood carvings in Tuen Mun Shengshu to create and draw a picture of General Chen hanging on it. The painting was too majestic and a little distorted. Lao Bai was embarrassed to look at it, so he simply asked someone to bring the sea map to roll it on the beam.

Usually, I use a chart to block it.

By the way, in order to take into account Chen Mu's vanity, Bai Yuanjie also made a big bookshelf and tinkered with books that no one at home to give them to Chen Mu.

Bai Yuanjie spent only two taels to transfer the land deed from Guangzhou Prefecture to Chen Mu's name, but the furniture at home cost more than three thousand taels. But that doesn't matter, Lao Bai didn't spend his own money on these silver.

Take it out of Chen Mu's treasury and do Chen Mu's business. Brothers have to settle the score clearly, right?

He just thought that Chen Mu should come back, and when he came back, there would be a place to welcome his wife into the door.

At night, Chen's house in Weigang was on the lamp, and Bai Yuanjie sat in the main hall slowly and rhythmically slapped the pistol on the table. He drank another sip of wine, his firm face showed a confused look, looking at the chart.

"Malacca, Mantaga, Johor, Perak, Old Port... Involve the Jinyiwei, what do you want to do?"

Bai Yuanjie muttered these place names in a low voice. Although the titles are different, in Bai Yuanjie's opinion, it is actually a place, that is the place at the southwest corner of the map. Some of these place names are new and old, and some are adjacent to each other. In short, it is that place.

Is he looking at the chart or the majestic and distorted portrait of the painting behind the chart?

No one knows.

But Bai Yuanjie knew that those sneaky people were the Jinyiwei. Not only did he know this, but he also knew that the Jinyiwei's trip to Malacca must be related to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was deliberately guiding something, step by step, in an orderly manner.

To defeat the Haojingyi people with guns and to open up the Malacca trade routes, the Nanyang Guard fishermen all drove gunboats and shark boats to catch fish, the 500-food shark boats in Weigang were also delivered to Chen Lin for use, Qi Zhengyan, who lived in Japan, Li Dan, who was rooted in Luzon, Lin Afeng, who was ready to attack Luzon, and a prosperous future that could guide the entire Nanyang trade.

Too many people were involved in the south, under the guidance of Chen Mu.

This time, hundreds of Jinyiwei sneaked into Haojing and went to Malacca. It can be foreseen that these spies will rely on their talents to appear everywhere in Malacca.

What will happen next time? Feng Bao’s voyage to the West?

Bai Yuanjie didn't know.

Good morning!
Chapter completed!
