Yu Dayou regained his troops and led the generals of Guangxi to station troops in Nanguan.

Chen Mu sent his adopted son Chen Jiujing to send me a meager gift to Yu Shuai, and at the same time asked about the coalition's thoughts on the attack.

Chen Mu even forgot how many times this was Yu Dayou's resurrected as a general officer. Anyway, when there was a difficult war in Lingnan, Yu Dayou was always in a position of dismissal before the war began. When the war came, Yu Dayou was always firmly in the general officer.

What Chen Mu can do is to send some gifts to comfort each time Yu Dayou is dismissed; every time Yu Dayou rises up, he sends some gifts to congratulate him.

It is also difficult to choose gifts. When you come back, give gifts should be lighter. The less valuable the better. Several books and a pen must be in the form, otherwise Yu Dayou will not accept them.

It was much easier when it was demoted. Yang Qingluan brought the ugly and very cheap jewelry directly to Yu Dayou's backyard to give it to the old lady. There was no other meaning. If it was difficult for a livelihood, he went to Hexingsheng's pawnshop in Guangzhou Prefecture to make a living.

Everyone praises Yu Dayou's integrity, but no one cares about how the Yu family lives.

As for Liu Xian's side, Chen Mu did not send anyone to ask, they were too far away and could not meet. Instead, Yu Dayou sent troops from Zhennan Pass and bordered the coast on the south side. Regardless of whether the supplies or troops were in charge, they could have partial support.

Yu Dayou is a veteran general, and the suggestion he sent to Chen Mu was to postpone the attack for half a month, send an edict to the people of Annan, and send it to the people of Annan. The army first told the Tianjun that the powerful force was strong, the Mo family usurped the throne, the third asked him to blame him for his harsh policies, and the fourth told us that the justice of our army.

No matter who comes from Annan, it is a place where people are harsh, with a narrow area and a large number of people. They do not collect heavy taxes and cannot raise troops. Especially in the chaos of separatist and military use in the north and south, this kind of crime is accurate.

Not to mention the season of war, just follow the tax rate during the peace period of the Ming Dynasty. It was not that I had tried it in the Chengzu period. I only collected 70,000 taels of silver a year, and I couldn’t even support the army of 10,000. How could it be possible to support the Mo family to raise 100,000 soldiers?

The manifesto written by Yu Dayou asked his staff to send it to Nanyang, and Chen Mu wanted to laugh when he saw it.

He felt that if the manifesto was changed to a name, it would be useful to attack the Li family. It was estimated that the manifesto was spread to the south of Annan, and the old ministers of the Li family were afraid of seeing it.

Not to mention anything else, under the instigation of the Nanyang Military Prefecture, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi rose sharply. Liu Xian recruited more than 100,000 troops from the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and divided his troops to guard the west of Longchuan, Nandian and other places.

After setting up defenses for Myanmar, Liu Xian led his troops to defend Lin'an Prefecture, Yunnan, and conquered the troops of the Five Chieftains. In April of the second year of Wanli, the troops advanced to Xuanguang.

Yu Dayou of Guangxi was much more troublesome. He served as the general of Guangxi, and was appointed as the seal of the general of the barbarians, and was in charge of Nanguan.

The people from the three counties in Gaoping and other places sent troops to pretend to be merchants and infiltrate the west, posting manifestos along the way to disturb the morale of the army.

In late April, the vanguard general Wang Shike led 3,000 troops out of Zhennan Pass, commanding Qi Jimei, Yang Zhao and other bird gunners in eastern Zhejiang, and Huguang Yongshun Gou Knife and Wolf soldiers, each of whom was in charge of the army and yelled out.

Compared with Yunnan and Guangxi's actions, Chen Mu was slower. After all, he did not have direct land transportation supplies, and no one allocated food, grass and arms for him. It was all up to his own planning.

Since Liu Xian sent a letter to attack Myanmar together, the Nanyang Military Administration summoned 200 Hexing Shengdafu ships to transport them to Qiongzhou and Malacca. When the Annan incident began, the transportation to Malacca would be slowed down. It would be transported to western Qiongzhou and established a large camp for stockpiling grain.

At the same time, military troops from all sides were recruited. The military guards were 3,000 households and 4,000 households, and the fleet moved to Qiongzhou; Luzon, Sulu, and Borneo nine guards were 9,000 flag troops, and Deng Zilong, Shao Tingda, Huang Dexiang, and Lou Qimai led the fleet into Qiongzhou.

Ishiki's troops also led thousands of households to Malacca to take over military affairs in customs defense. He had nothing to do with the battle in Annan, and he was preparing for Myanmar.

In April, Liu Xian had sent troops, and Chen Mu's army was still in Qiongzhou. He only sent Lou Qimai's fleet to join more than 800 fishing boats in Guangxi to sweep the Mo's coastal ships, looking for suitable places for landing along the coast.

Because he sent people from the coalition forces to Qinghua to discuss with the old ministers of the Li family back to tell him that Qinghua had been captured by Mo Jingdian, the front further moved south, and the fishermen had another mission - to help him find out where the front between the Mo family and the Li family was progressing.

At the end of April, Yu Dayou's troops in Guangxi had already left Zhennan Pass, and Chen Mu sent the new information he received to Zhennan Pass through Lianzhou, Guangdong.

Mo Jingdian, the general of the Mo family, sent 100,000 troops to surround Qinghua and sent his general Ruan Juan to Nye'an to threaten Hue, almost destroying the Li family.

But this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Ming Dynasty.

On May 3, Chen Mu climbed the altar to worship at Xigang, Danzhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture, and personally led the warships to divide into three groups and headed towards Annan.

Chen Mu's main fleet soldiers set off for Ruan Juan, Deng Zilong's troops cut off the northern Yanzhou, and the last route was Lin Manjue, the "Marine Captain" under Chen Mu, who had just been familiar with the complete set of new military uniforms in Guangdong.

"General Lin, your trip is the most dangerous place. It is the area bordering Qinghua in the northern part of Yanzhou. At this time, it is the place controlled by Mo Jingdian, the Mo family general. After landing, you are in the south of your battlefield where General Deng cuts off the rear of Ruan Juan's troops, and in the north of yours, the Qinghua surrounded by Mo Jingdian's tens of thousands of troops."

"You don't need to fight to the death. Bai Shuai has cleared the enemy ships on the sea first, and the fishermen warships along the coast are all my fishermen. You need all the supplies you need to go out to the sea with only one goal."

It is still a hundred miles away from the coast and the three huge fleets have not yet separated. Chen Mu summoned Lin Manjue to the Chihai ship and pointed to the spread map and said, "When Mo Jingdian goes south, if I have not defeated Ruan Juan, I want you to delay his trip south as much as possible, it will take a few days."

"If you can't delay, you can drive the ship to the rear of the enemy, ask Bai Shuai to help and cut off the food route. The frontal war will be fought with General Deng."

Although Lin Manjue's place to go is dangerous, as long as he is not surrounded and has a fleet to help him when he runs to the coast, mobility is not a problem.

Hearing Chen Mu's orders made Lin San Lao feel a little relaxed. The bearded man smiled tremblingly and said, "Shi Shuai's general is much easier than Guam."

"Easy is relaxation, but unfortunately the war did not give you time to familiarize yourself with the armies. Now you can only familiarize yourself with the war." Chen Mu patted Lin Manjue's shoulder and said, "If the flintlock gun is not suitable, I have prepared a flint gun on your ship. If it doesn't work, I will exchange it for you."

Chen Mu said, the family soldier took out a wooden box from the cabin, and after opening it, he placed an exquisitely decorated flintlock hand gun. What is unique is that there are six rotors. He handed it to Lin Manjue and said, "A new thing from the Military Weapon Bureau, after a hand-turning bullet bay, can be used to release six guns."

"Although I have tried my best to make it, I still have some air leakage. I can barely break the armor with ten steps. Without armor, I can take fifteen steps. If I don't have any distance, I can't hit it accurately. I'll take it and defend myself."

This gun is extremely valuable without looking at the skills, just looking at the decoration. Lin Manjue received the gun and thanked him: "Thank you, the commander-in-chief!"

It is too time-consuming and laborious to build this, and it is not cost-effective to install the flag army. However, the generals can hold their self-defense for another year and a half.

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Go, General Lin, deal with them well for me!"

He looked at the endless sea, and he was going to join the war!

The earliest flintlock revolver was made in 1597. The bullet casing and firearms are integrated, and can be rotated but not removed. It is currently in the McHogan Museum in Lillehammer, Norway.
