Chapter 1 Dagu

Even after the New Year, the route from Nanyang to Tianjin Wei is not lonely at all.

In the area of Fujian and Guangzhou, the freight is developed, and you can meet fellow merchant ships and cargo ships along the way; When he arrived in Zhejiang, Nanzhi area, it was even more prosperous, and when he stopped to replenish water and grain, he could see the port throughput, Chen Mu also specially asked the baggage ship to wait for him for two days, and went to Songjiang Mansion to see Xu Jie's lecture academy.

When you get on the boat and enter the boundary of Beizhili, the atmosphere is even more different.

It seems that only here can one suddenly remember: Oh! Daming is still helping foreign countries to fight!

Chen Mu called out to a few soldiers on the adjacent ship and asked about the situation on the battlefield in Japan, and these people could answer him all about battlefield legends and the like, and they didn't know anything about the actual military situation.

Japan's battle was supposed to be controlled by the Nanyang Military Government, but Gao Gong went through the procedure and asked the Japanese king to send an envoy to Beijing for help, so he handed over the war to the imperial court.

He didn't know where the war was going now.

On 17 February, the fleet arrived at this place as Jiuhe Jinyao, the sea and land throat of the seven provinces and the mouth of Weidagu, Tianjin.

"It just snowed the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Rites prepared winter coats and official robes for the minister of Nanyang, and rested for a while in Haikou City, Tianjin Wei had already received a letter from the adults to return to Beijing to report on their work, and the adults who came to greet them will be there in a while!"

The clerk of the Ministry of Rites took the official seal from him, and the clerk of the Ministry of Rites took him to accompany a group of more than ten people such as the Dagu Fort Fortress, prepared warm soup and meals, and took care of them meticulously.

The official robe prepared by the imperial court was not used, but the complement was used, and Chen Mu's supplement was a lion, and the crane brought by the Ministry of Rites.

Between animals and animals, the difference can be great.

The so-called report to Beijing, in the position of the governor of various places, most of the time it means that this official position has been done, either up or down, some are three-year periods, and some are four-year periods, but others return to Beijing to report on their work before the year, Chen Mu himself is not the governor but has more than the governor's powers, not to mention that the road is far away, there is no custom, as long as you return to Beijing within the time limit of the edict.

He's months ahead of schedule!

Dagukou Fort was very famous in later generations, famous for fighting several battles with foreign countries in this place, being killed and wounded, signing a treaty, and flattering to self-destruction.

This is the Ming Chengzu Emperor Zhu Di repaired, Yongle two years Tianjin guarded, Haikou built piers and set up artillery, so there is the name of Dagukou.

After all these years, the artillery has not been replaced, Chen Mu was led by the staff of the Ministry of Rites to look at it while walking, patting the ancient battlements and asking Juniper to take out his notebook, and said: "Go back here, and over there, there are two temples to be built, and the port side to get on and off the ship, also need two, and the artillery must also be replaced, all of them have to be recorded, and when I finish my work, I will tell Your Majesty." ”

Chen Mu, or all the governors in the world, is not just reporting to the emperor or the cabinet, he has to report to Xu Da.

Yes, it is Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the current Chengtian Jianguo Simin Shengfu Ming Ling King, in Juyongguan Chenghuang Temple.

Because after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he not only managed the household registration of the people such as military households, artisan households, and households, but also had a unified plan for the construction of all temples by the imperial court, and even the gods and goddesses were knighted, all of which were in charge of this person.

He said, "I have set up a city god to make people fearful; If people are afraid, they dare not act rashly. ”

He felt that there might be someone who dared to fool the emperor, but there were far fewer who dared to fool the gods, and ordered the counties to build the city god temple within three years, so the city god temple in later generations was basically built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Xu Da is the great immortal of Zhengyipin who sits in the Chenghuang Temple in Beijing, and all the main officials of the Ming Dynasty should swear to sleep in the Chenghuang Temple where they serve when they take office, and they will sleep next to Xu Da when they return to Beijing after completing this official position.

What do you mean then?

There are three worlds, and it is up to you to accumulate good and do evil; Throughout the ages, who has the underworld let go? You're here.

Chen Mu is no exception tonight, his destination is not the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the Juyongguan City God's Temple, looking for the old man Xu Da to report to work.

Going to sleep in the City God Temple is nothing to Chen Mu, he is not as trembling as others, if the old man Xu Da knows what he has done in the yang world, he will have to come up and have a drink with him.

Just like returning to Beijing to report on his work, he has a clear conscience.

The main lord who came to greet him did not let him be of great use in this establishment for more than 100 years, and the fortress near the wilderness was more than a few times, and after a while, there were elite cavalry troops with small flags in their helmets and fists and knocked on them, and asked the minister of Nanyang to go out.

There is no way, the sea route is not like the land route, if it is a land route, the nearby post station is hundreds of miles away, and someone will be sent to Pegasus to send a message to the Beijing Division, and the people who greet him will also wait on the road early, but the sea is different, it is impossible to let Chen Mu float in the sea for the sake of honor guards, and send a boat ashore first.

When Chen Mu saw these cavalry on the fortress, he knew who was coming to pick him up.

There is only one army like robots in the Ming Dynasty, and this army is now in Beijing, called the Qi Family Army.

Strictly speaking, whether it is Chen Mu or Chen Bazhi, their military laws are all born from Qi Jiguang, but Chen Mu is adding more rewards to it, deleting some unnecessary punishments, and having his own new things; And Chen Bazhi did not reduce Qi Jiguang's military law, and also added a punishment dedicated to restraining the banner army of the Nanyang Sect.

Putting aside the merits and disadvantages of the changed military law for the time being, there is no doubt that neither of them is as good as Qi Jiguang, the original author, in the implementation of the military law.

The cavalry under the fortress can only be Qi Jiguang's people.

In the distance, a guard of honor is slowly coming.

"Lead the horse." Chen Mu raised a smile on his face and said to Juniper: "The first time I was transferred north to Beijing, I went to the Jinshanling Great Wall Wangjing Tower to see Qi Shuai, just like a world away!" ”

The gate of the fortress slowly opened, the Tianjin Wei Dagu Banner Army gave it to each other in the city, Chen Mu stepped on the tall white girl, the crimson embroidered crane official robe covered with a fox fur turned over the horse, and explained to the relatives to go to the general's mansion in the city in two ways to live, and took Juniper and other four horsemen to meet the honor guard sent by the imperial court.

At the other end of the official road, Qi Jiguang straddled the tall horse of the same Spanish ancestry, smiled at him, turned around and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Sound the gong and open the way!" ”

Chen Mu also hugged his fists and said: "How dare the younger generation come to greet him, it's really rude." ”

Qi Jiguang smiled, waved his hand and walked together, and said: "Don't talk about hypocrisy and politeness, you have sent nearly 10 million taels of silver to the imperial court in recent years, not to mention Qi, even the elder and His Majesty want to come to Tianjin Wei to pick you up, and if you change anyone, you can afford six million taels of silver and five million stone rice grain in Beijing in four years." ”

"But the emperor was persuaded by the elder of the pavilion, the elder of the pavilion was worried that it would not be a good thing for you to have too much reputation, and the day after tomorrow there was a banquet in the mansion, you went to the Juyongguan City God's Temple tomorrow to report on your work, and the day after tomorrow entered the Forbidden City, and the night after tomorrow went to the old mansion, the household department, the official department, and the military department all wanted to see you, and Qi also went with him, and Jizhen also had something to talk to you about, take this."

Saying that, riding from a wooden box containing a richly decorated ruler-length handcuff, Qi Jiguang smiled: "You gave me a handcuff, and I will also give you one, and the gift is still exchanged." ”

"Thank you Qi Shuai, then Chen will accept it." Chen Mu looked at the handcuffs and pursed his lips and smiled: "Qi Shuai is a gift, I won't make any treasure songs, just give it a name, it's called reason." 2k reading network
