Chapter 313 Pajamas
The letter was sent from the Eastern Military Palace at the end of July. As the Wanshou Festival approached, the magistrates of five places, the governors of five departments, Deng Zilong and Yang Tingxiang, the invited nobles of New Spain, Portuguese Brazil and hundreds of leaders from all walks of life scattered in North Asia rushed to Changsheng.
Of course, the Asian "boundary generals" such as Black Cloud Dragon and Hulan did not come. They held on to the land they had just surrendered and only sent riders to escort Iroquoi, the leader of the Brotherhood, to Changsheng to attend the ceremony.
The ever-winning merchants and immigrants used colorful paintings, silk, cloth, and lanterns to decorate the street market with lanterns. The yamen and all walks of life have a holiday for three days, and the whole world celebrates together.
The garrison was also on holiday, but some of the complicated departments were on the front and back of Wanshou Street.
The eight characters of Chaotian Palace have not yet been traced. The only prince of Changsheng, King Ailan, who has been conferred a serious title, believes that he has a considerable authority when celebrating the emperor's birthday. He transferred the Restoration Army, which had excellent training, to the outside, gave up the Restoration Army camp, and set up a birthday platform facing the west of the bay.
Whether it is the five governors led by Chen Mu or Deng Zilong, and the five county magistrates led by Zou Yuanbiao, it is an important festival and form to celebrate the emperor's birthday. The Wanshou Festival is not only the birthday of Emperor Wanli, but also the way they miss their hometown.
From this perspective, Zhu Xiaoen, King Ailan, was undoubtedly the most sincere. He knew very well that everything he had come from the Emperor Ming in the Forbidden City. He worked hardest when he arranged it, and he just wished he could fly over Cangming Sect and return to his country to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
After the Eastern Military Palace spent military loans, Prince Ailan had no money to spend on his daily life. Even so, he still saved money from Changsheng and hired more than a dozen painters, and used various painting techniques to paint him and his restoration army several times as a birthday gift to the emperor.
Originally, Zhu Xiaoen wanted to find a group of European painters from New Spain and Brazil, but found that under Xu Wei's influence, many of Changsheng's painters had already integrated some European painting techniques, so they simply did not bother the two masters in one thing, and all hired them from Changsheng.
There is a Spanish-style infantry phalanx that holds a spear and holds a bird gun; there is a Qi Jiguang-style mandarin duck array that holds wolves, long swords, bird guns, and large shields; there is also a Beiyang-style wheel-firing array composed of armorless bird gunners; there are also a cavalry 100 households, artillery 100 households, and engineers 100 households.
The restored army with only a thousand troops forced Zhu Xiaoen to draw flowers.
He also wrote a long letter to the emperor, which was to wish His Majesty a long life. Thank you Lord Long. With the help of General Chen of the Eastern Military Palace, Ailan's army had completed the training and would go on an expedition to Ireland next year to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty.
These birthday gifts were presented to Chen Mu with officials from all over the country and the people who offered them a birthday gift to be shipped back to the Ming Dynasty. When Chen Mu only hoped that these paintings would not be seen by Qi Jiguang or other generals who knew the soldiers.
Otherwise he would be ridiculed.
Does the Restoration Army have combat effectiveness? Yes.
But the generals and officials of the martial arts lecture hall can see from these paintings at a glance that all troops have disadvantages.
There is no problem with the Spanish phalanx composed of three infantry and hundreds of households. The cloth-armored bird gunner and the breast-armored spearman are matched properly, and there is also a heavy-armored long sword hand holding the Qi family's sword. Even if it encounters the genuine Spanish phalanx, it will have the power to fight.
But the configuration of bird gun team, horse team, cannon team, and armor gun cannons is all monkey version.
For example, a Beiyang cavalry is equipped with long weapons one, short weapons two, bows and guns two, and a man and horse armor, and is composed of baggage. The cavalry of the Restoration Army only has spears, bones, horses and horses not armored, and people only have helmets and breastplates.
To be fair, this set of military equipment is actually a great military configuration. The only problem is that Zhu Xiaoen spent money, although the loan would not be repaid until the country of Ailan was independent, he spent money.
What makes Chen Mu very pleased now is that regardless of what the generals of the Central Korean War thought of when they see these paintings, Zhu Xiaoen is very satisfied with it anyway.
Zhu Xiaoen said this: "The Restoration Army serves me, and I am loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What should I do if I have such a good military? As long as I can defeat the nobles who are loyal to the British in England and Ireland."
Chen Mu's evaluation is very free and easy and understandable.
Zhu Xiaoen knew what he wanted and what his enemies were. If the restoration was successful, the Eastern Military Office would be protected by the sea, and the land would not border European countries. The business and trade business would be done by the Ming Dynasty merchants.
He really doesn't need to maintain a strong armed force.
In addition to Zhu Xiaoen, the five counties prepared a lot of gifts for Emperor Wanli. The garrison of Majiagang was very simple, with two good white bear furs and four complete huge walrus tusks. These treasures that were unwilling to sell were sent on a lucky boat.
As for Jincheng, it is relatively simple. It uses 120 kilograms of gold to make a Wanli ship model.
Deng Zilong from Ukyo Panama was not interested and asked his confidants to go around the Portuguese Brazilian Governor's Office, and sent back some novel objects and loaded half a boat.
There was nothing in Jie County, and there were more sheep than people. Aimu had a long time of difficulty. Finally, at Chen Mu's suggestion, he made nine sets of cashmere coats for the emperor. This was probably the most heart-willing because it was specially designed to be suitable for wearing in military uniforms to keep warm.
Shao Tingdana is the most realistic. The son of Lautaro, the leader of the Mapuche, came here in person and wanted to load himself on the ship.
It was his second son. Lao Laotaro was trained in Chile with the Western weapons seized by Shao Tingda, and was planning to go to Peru to make a revolution; his eldest son, Xiao Laotaro, also learned agricultural knowledge of irrigation and water conservancy in Chile. His second son was not old, so he followed Shao Tingda over to Chen Mu and told Chen Mu that he would serve the emperor.
It scared Chen Mu. This kid is about the same age as Wanli. He went to the palace to serve the emperor and was he going to castrate himself?
Inappropriate, the final name was to go to Beijing on behalf of your father to send the emperor a camel fur blanket woven by Mapuchu. After giving it to the emperor, he followed the emperor's arrangements and asked him to stay in Beijing and study in Beijing. When he came back, he would come back with the fourth period of Beiyang.
As for Chen Mu's gift, he knew that the emperor liked cats and even sent the Siamese servant here, so he wanted to get the emperor a cat, a big cat.
After his idea appeared, Ding Hai, an immigrant village lieutenant on the border, did get a condom and catch a jaguar. Later, he followed the clues and carried a litter of big cats and cubs back to raise them. However, the cubs are still basically fierce. To eliminate the danger, it may take at least three generations of domestication, which obviously cannot catch up with this year's birthday.
Chen Mu, who had no other choice, had to ask Xu Wei to paint a picture of the big cat, and carefully made two sets of Zhangfeng pajamas according to the outfit of the Jaguar Warrior, the kind with leopard print, to bring warmth to the cold winter night of the Forbidden City in the seventh year of Wanli.
From this perspective, the demise of Aztec is probably unrelated to the military uniforms. How can the most outstanding warriors wear pajamas to the battlefield to form combat effectiveness?
