Chapter 13 Double

Chen Mu originally thought that a god-given hero like him would always encounter more hardships than others in life, but he did not expect that after two months of voyage, he arrived at Majiagang safely.

Even when he traveled through the Black Water Marine Islands, he didn't even touch his Great Wall Ship on the sea.

What surprised him the most during the entire voyage was that nothing happened.

This made Chen Mu, who enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Majiagang, feel particularly frustrated... He has been preparing for this adventure for more than a year!

If we count from sending Magui, it will be four years!

Standing on the stern of the Great Wall on the sea, one person above the deck, Chen Mu looked at Majiagang Bay in the bitter cold wind.

The sky was filled with snowflakes like fog, and the howling cold wind made people unable to open their eyes. Even so, the silver-covered Majiagang is still extremely beautiful, especially the gray white walls and green tiles on the barracks that were shattered on the shore, and the big red lanterns swaying in the snow, which contrasted colors to give him extraordinary enjoyment.

But his leisurely mentality, which was a little dissatisfied with unexpected desires, soon fell down from the report of the commander of the left fleet, Ishiki, after landing in Asia.

His brother is gone.

While avoiding the ice floes, the front fleet led by Shao Tingda sailed with sailing. The fleets were already dozens of miles away from the sea, and the fleets passing through the back of the archipelago deliberately slowed down along the coast to give the former fleet plenty of time to enter the port.

After all, everyone knows that Majiagang is not a big port, but a small port built by Magui led the remnants of his troops. A large number of supplies will definitely cause the channel to be blocked, and warships are much larger than merchant ships. If the five fleets dock together, they will probably be even more busy.

Shi Qi left enough time for the former fleet led by Shao Tingda. Unexpectedly, he was the first to arrive at Majiagang. Until the fourth Chen Muzhong fleet of the five fleets arrived, Shao Tingda had not come yet.

He stood on the pier to pick up Chen Mu and whispered: "Nothing could happen, right?"

Chen Mu's heart was shocked.

After pausing, he shook his head decisively and said, "It's impossible to make a mistake. I saw it on the way to the accident. It's probably because I've sailed southward. The coast of Asia is very long and cannot float out."

"The reckless man brought craftsmen, dogs and horses, and soldiers and generals to spend a year's food and grass. At worst, he would float to the Spanish territory. As long as he did not attack Mexico City in a crazy way, who could have beaten him?"

"Don't worry, nothing can happen."

After Chen Mu said that, he calmed down and glanced at the generals who welcomed him, and found Ma Gui among the crowd. Ma Jin and a few familiar faces he could recognize were sent to Kuwu Island in his early years.

When he was transferred from Ma Fang to him, the Ma brothers were two handsome young cavalrymen. Now they have only been three years old, and their faces have changed drastically and look more than ten years older.

Chen Mu immediately stepped forward and bowed without saying a word, saying, "All the generals worked hard and made great contributions. After three years of separation, the Ming Dynasty made it firm in Asia. Please accept Chen Mu's bow!"

Ma Gui and Ma Jin have resentment towards him, really.

This resentment does not mean that Chen Mu did not do well or that they blamed Chen Mu for their own suffering. No, this resentment comes from why they were chosen as generals in the Eastern Expedition.

Everyone has their own destiny. If there are any choices, they would also like Fu Yuan, Shiqi, or even like Shao Tingda who was lost. At this time, after the Ma brothers had already walked the road that no Spanish expedition team had not been completed in this unknown place for three years, they drove a fleet like heroes and victories across the sea. When they came, they had a place to live, intelligence, maps, and everything.

But they don’t know where to start with their resentment, and they really have no way to start.

No one said anything polite. Ma Gui and Ma Jin just gritted their teeth and looked at Chen Mu for saluting. They also returned the saluting to Chen Mu without saying a word.

The return gift is a rule and a respect for the superior. If you do not refuse, they should share this gift.

After the ceremony, Ma Gui then bowed back again: "Report to Chen Shuai, the general of Kuwu Island, Ma Gui, led his troops to Yamelica in the second year of Wanli. So far, he surveyed and mapped 14,700 miles along the coast, and 97 islands of all sizes; there are 233 tribes of all sizes and sizes, and nearly 100,000 people; marking forest farms and fishing grounds, suitable for reclaiming wastelands in total."

"There is a sign that I can fight against the flag army, one hundred and one hundred and ninety-six."

In fact, if they don’t say polite words, Chen Mu feels more comfortable - there are too many surprises, at least for the Kuwu Island Expeditionary Force, too many situations that no one wants to see happen.

When Ma Gui led his army eastward, he did not expect that the warship would be frozen on the sea. He was just lucky to choose a road that would allow them to arrive on land early. If he had chosen to lead the crowd back at that time, there might be more people who were frozen to death, and they would never know how far away they were from Amelica.

Chen Mu didn't want this. When the expeditionary army on Kuwu Island was most worthy of supply, Ma Gui lost the news for half a year. Ni Shangzhong searched along the coast but only found the wreckage of their abandoned warships. The whole world thought they were dead.

Chen Mu, who was in charge of Nanyang, could not get out of here. That period was the most important time for Ma Gui's troops to reduce their staff. Later, he received sufficient supplies. Even if it was only delivered once every six months and once a year, Ma Gui's troops did not have the situation at that time again.

"Please call on Mashuai to summon all the flag troops of Majiagang." Chen Mu took a deep breath, helped Ma Gui up, and said, "At the school ground, the Dongyang Military Palace rewarded the merits."

While waiting for the flag army to gather from the port and the hundreds of households on both sides, Chen Mu did not get into the house to avoid the wind and cold. The snow in the school ground was very thick, but Chen Mu did not feel cold. He stepped on the snow with double-layer cowhide iron boots set against rabbit hair, and walked deep and shallowly on this land where the expeditionary army had overcome all obstacles.

The flag army at the port carried boxes of supplies under the command of the generals of each department. In the corral next to the schoolyard, several huge bisons snuggled beside the haystacks under the brick wall to keep warm. Among all the corrals, the only one in charge of the bison did not have a wooden fence.

Chen Mu was surprised. Those huge beasts with long hair looked at the people on the school ground with caution, neither fear nor anger. This was probably very similar to the survival strategy of Ma Gui and others in the previous few years. Human resources could not reverse the environment of the world, and could only try their best to coexist.

He guessed that these cattle voluntarily walked into the corral, otherwise, not to mention the wooden walls, even if they were all brick walls, even if they were cement brick walls, they would not be able to stop the collision of these huge monsters.

The flag army gathered from all directions, and finally told Chen Mu that they had gathered together. Chen Mu first bowed to everyone, and then said, "According to your promise when you came, the flag army will be promoted to a hundred households, a hundred households, a small banner will be promoted to a thousand households, a thousand households, and a thousand households. A hundred households will be promoted to commander, commander, and commander."

When it comes to merit, Chen Mu, the young man, believes that everyone can be promoted to commander because the environment here determines that from now on, from now on, from the next thirty years, no matter who you are, no matter what status or kind of wealth you have, what you can have is very limited.

But his official position was limited, so he had no choice.

"There are two ways to get home with silver rewards. One is to double the silver reward. When Ma Shuai came, he promised 100 taels, the East Army Mansion would reward 200 taels, and the East Army Mansion would reward 500 taels. The second is to reward silver rewards. Chen recommended to the various garrisons in your hometown. The flag army would return home with the general flag; the small flag would return home with the reward silver; the hundred households would return home with the reward silver; the commander would return home with the reward silver."

"There is another way. If you can survive in this land, you will have enough knowledge and courage. You are the most loyal warriors of the emperor. Each person has two quotas to be promoted to one level, select clan brothers, and your nephews will take over the post. You will enter the Eastern Military Mansion with the same official title and salary. Chen will set up a new military department in the military mansion, and you will be the chief of the Navy's Land Army's Asia Survival Training."

"Chen gives you a month to consider it, consider clearly registering with Zhao Changji, a staff officer, and returning home on the return baggage ship, and also catching up with the Dragon Boat Festival in the sixth year of Wanli."
