Chapter 115 Set sail
In fact, there is no decisive effect on talking about these things between Chen Mu and Gao Gong. Gao Gong is now really powerless. Chen Mu said this just hopes that Gao Gong can use his wisdom to help Chen Mu correct his less correct ideas.
If there is, correct it; if there is no, encourage it.
In terms of talent, there were countless wise ministers in the Ming Dynasty, but Chen Mu believed that Gao Gong could squeeze into the top three when all of them were sent together.
Gao Gong may be a little bit narrow-minded, arrogant and revengeful, lacks the demeanor of a virtuous minister, and has a lack of ambition to show off all officials, which also lays a hidden danger for him to stop his appearance. But it can be said that his personality is problematic, but he is not bad at all in terms of talent.
Zhang Juzheng's six memorials are the same as Gao Gong's Chen Bashi. Even Zhang Juzheng's subsequent series of reforms actually continued Gao Gong's ideas and was the result of their cooperation.
The only difference is that when Zhang Juzheng was alive, no one could object to these things.
It would be different if it were Gao Gong.
Chen Mu was worried!
How could Lin Afeng hit the wrong person?
The good Manzhe Boyi country is there, and there is only one Bali, which is not as big as Minduluo, with only a thousand troops stationed in the army. What a simple thing, huh?
How could Lin Feng fight with Java next door?
It's so finished!
"Lin Feng asked me to send someone to take over Bali and transport some food to him. He said that he won the third formation there, occupied two islands including Bali, and attacked a place called Sishui. The local leader surrendered, and he promised to help the Sishui leader attack other leaders. There were many Han people, and they all raised their troops with him, and there was insufficient food and grass."
Chen Mu was quite helpless. He really didn't think about letting Lin Feng go there to open up the territory. It would be fine if he wanted to change the country. He sent someone to talk about peace and resolve the misunderstanding. After all, it is not the time when the power of the Nanyang Military Administration is expanding to the point where he can start a war in all directions.
But the key is that Java has never been a unified dynasty. The local population is large, with no less than one million households and hundreds of tribes. They fight each other, and the situation is so chaotic that it is endless.
Trade alone allows them to get everything they want, and there is no need to use a stupid method like starting a war to contact them.
Now he just wants to say peace, who will he talk to?
Chen Mu discovered that the Min Guang Lin clan was extremely powerful overseas in this era. Lin Daoqian was already considered safe. Lin Afeng felt uncomfortable if he didn't fight with others. In the Guam battle report he had just sent, he used a war to turmoil Guam, causing the fleet to land on the shore.
These three people are not involved in the relationship, but they are more fierce than the other when they start a war overseas.
"Master, this may not be a bad thing."
"The leader Lin wants food and grass." Xu Wei did not think so much about Chen Mu. He looked at the map and found Sishui in the northeast corner of the island and looked up at Chen Mu and said, "The general will transport food and grass to him. You can also write to him. Don't help a country to achieve success. Send a close confidant to the island to support various ministries, so that all the countries on the island can open up their territory, but the largest area is not more than a county, and they will provoke all the countries to fight on their own."
As he said that, Xu Wei raised his hand to order a tea case and said, "You can ask the vassal kings in the court to enfeoff the country and divide it and govern it."
Chen Mu had long told Xu Wei about the idea of asking the vassal kings to go to sea to take the vassal. His staff all agreed with it. Without the local governance foundation, it is basically impossible to govern with bureaucracy. If you want to manage a huge territory, you need to divide the feudal system.
The most reliable person who was the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty was of course the Ming royal family. Moreover, they would rather spend food in the country than to get it out.
Xu Wei smiled and said, "One Java is enough to divide into hundreds of royal families."
The royal family has great ills. More than 20,000 royal families have to receive a salary of 200 stones per year. This is actually just a decisive amount. The Chinese people are very reasonable. The whole world is driven by the ancestors of the royal family and the ancestors of the country. It is understandable that they are born with good treatment.
The key is that the royal family is not satisfied with this. Those who have farmland and land enclosures make the people have no land to farm, while those who have colluded with royal merchants monopolize the salt law.
Even if the minority of offenders are the subject, the court and the middle school are all concerned about this problem, but they have no better solution except for the treatment of symptoms but not the root cause.
In the end, the public was full of internal and external troubles. Once the rebellion of the king entered the city, the sky streets were covered with the bones of the ministers, and almost no princes in various places could survive.
"They will come here sooner or later, only the chief assistant of the current dynasty can do this."
Chen Mu was very focused, and only Zhang Juzheng could do this.
"Can't Lin Daogan build his own small shark boat? From him, there should be no shortage of 20 to thirty small shark boats, swords, spears, bows and crossbows. From the Guangdong Dusiqian Banner Army, one thousand flint-cord bird guns were transferred to Guangdong, and the Nanyang Military Weapons Bureau would add 800 flint-lock guns."
The flintlock gun was replaced with a flintlock gun. Two or three years later, most soldiers in the Guangdong Banner Army camps used flintlock bird guns, but this was indeed not something that could be done overnight.
He served as the commander of the Nanyang Guard. The guards were full of flint guns. It was already the best firearm in Guangdong. There were even a large number of old-style firearms in other places. Now, most of the guards in Nanyang, Qingyuan, and Guangzhou have flintlock guns, but the rest of the guards had just replaced the flintlock guns.
The power of the flag army to replace the fuse rope with a musket is very strong, after all, the increase in range and power is obvious at a glance.
But it is more difficult to let the guards use flintlocks to replace the flint rope. The range and power have not been directly improved. The firing speed is a little faster, and there is also the risk of a small number of bird guns not firing occasionally. They are not so happy.
Unless you issue a dead order, the progress of loading the flintlock gun will be very slow.
Only generals who have actually used the flintlock gun to fight the enemy's troops in front of the battlefield hope to use the flintlock gun... The Ming Dynasty's tactics of using bird guns were nothing more than Lin Manjue, who either used scattered troops to attack and fire a gun; or they would set up a row of wheels to shoot and fire the guns.
The biggest benefit of the flintlock gun is not that little fire rate, but that it can save the risk of sergeants who are prone to make mistakes in the battle from time to time to time and time, unable to connect to the fuse due to hand shaking.
So what if you don’t get angry, just use the faucet pole on the board again.
After Xu Wei said this, Chen Mu was also ready to let Lin Feng go and asked Zhao Shizhen to polish the letter and said, "Tell the leader Lin, Chen will give him food and grass and bird guns support, but this is not a war in the Ming Dynasty, but a local melee. Chief Lin is only invited to help, and should divide his countries and support him."
"As soon as the aid is provided, except for the 1,000 bird guns and 3,000 soldiers who need food and grass in June, the rest need to be purchased at a fair price in Java, which is the same as Sulu and Borneo."
Zhao Shizhen remembered the key points. When he heard Chen Mu's affordable price, he looked up. He knew that Chen Mu's "affordable price" was. Buying a gun could make the Nanyang Military Weapons Bureau more than three poles in terms of wages.
"In addition, as the war progressed, the gold, silver, copper, iron, pearl and spice products on the island were discovered, and the local needs were also found, and the merchant ship was about to set sail."
