Chapter 489: You're Really a Talent
After about a stick of incense, a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance, came in.
"Wu Hanming, this is Lord Xiao Chen Xiao of the Great Zhou." The King of Burma pointed at Xiao Chen and smiled, "Speaking of which, you should be old people." ”
"Young general Wu Hanming, meet Lord Xiao, I have heard the name of Lord Xiao for a long time, and I can see it today, how fortunate it is!" Wu Hanming pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, placed it at Xiao Chen's feet, his voice was clear, and he spoke Huaxia very fluently......
"Oh, it's a heavy word, General Hamming, please get up quickly." Xiao Chen hurriedly helped him up personally, and when he saw that he was heroic and martial, and he spoke fluent Chinese, he suddenly felt good in his heart.
After the introduction of the King of Burma, it turned out that this Wu Hanming was originally a Chinese, and he was also a benevolent and brave captain of the Han Naval Division, in charge of a small warship.
Later, the Han Dynasty perished, he was unwilling to surrender to the Great Zhou, so he crossed the ocean and came to live in Burma, because he was proficient in water warfare, used by the Burmese naval division, and made countless meritorious contributions in the past few years, and now Burma is already a commanding general.
There are not a few soldiers of the Han Navy Division in exile in Burma, and all of these people are brave and good at fighting, and they have made great achievements, so a force has been faintly formed in the Burmese Navy Division, which makes the Burmese king a little uneasy.
This time, Wu Hanming was summoned to Lin Yang, just to transfer him to Jiuxi as the deputy general under Jianu Mountain.
Because Wu Hanming is a powerful general who commands dozens of large and small warships in the naval division, if he goes to the command of Mount Canu, he is afraid that he will have no military power at all......
Now that Xiao Chen came to borrow the boat, the king of Burma pushed the boat down the river and lent Wu Hanming to Xiao Chen, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Xiao Chen is happy, Wu Hanming is also very happy, because he has not returned to his homeland for a long, long time, and coincidentally, his hometown is in Yanyun County!
I thought that I would never be able to go back again in my life, but I didn't expect such a great opportunity to fall from the sky, and my eyes were red under the excitement.
"Lord Xiao, how is Yan Yun?" After holding back for a long time, he asked such a sentence.
"It's not good, it's been fighting for years, and the people are not making a living." Xiao Chen told the truth.
"It's all about worshipping Li ......" Wu Hanming almost uttered a big disrespectful remark, but fortunately stopped in time.
Xiao Chen and the King of Burma pretended not to hear.
The night was full of joy, and Xiao Chen resigned early the next morning and went south, no matter how the king of Burma retained, Xiao Chen is now like an arrow, but it is not as leisurely as last time.
When the Burmese king saw that he could not keep him, he had to agree, and gave him 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, and countless other miscellaneous things such as various local specialties, and filled ten carts full of ten carts.
Qianluo, Doma, and some of the princes and ministers who met last time also had gifts, and they were naturally very willing to make friends with this upstart of the Great Zhou.
The person sent by the king of Burma to send Xiao Chen south was Na Mandu, this guy is really powerful, from a traitor and thief, he has changed into an important minister in charge of foreign affairs and commerce in Burma, and he is still a celebrity in front of the king of Burma.
Originally, I didn't kill him to calm people's hearts, it was just an expedient measure, but I didn't expect that this kid would be able to turn over and regain the trust of the King of Burma.
"You're really a talent!" Xiao Chen was really speechless when he saw him full of ambition and refreshment, and his face was full of red light.
"Isn't that all the cultivation of the prince, Lord Xiao's care?" Na Mandu smiled with a shy face, "Little General Xiao Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are also a lot more heroic, but I don't know that General Xiaosheng, General Yuntian, and Wen Divine Doctor are all quite good, right?" ”
He has a really good memory, he still remembers the names of those people clearly, and yes, after what happened last time, he should also have a long memory.
"These brothers are also very good-looking, and the villain is full, so he doesn't dare to ask your honorable names?" Na Mandu put his posture very low, and he was very polite to Ling'er and the others.
And his ability to do things is really strong, knowing that Xiao Chen is in a hurry to go south, he has prepared a clipper in advance and is waiting at the Lin River Wharf outside Lin Yang City.
Tell Xiao Chen that this is a mountain road, and it is very bumpy to run fast on horseback, so it is better to take a boat directly down the river, and you can reach Maro Port at the southern tip of Myanmar in one day and one night.
The boat he chose was big, fast and stable, the cabin was spacious, cool and tidy, and he deliberately found dozens of small servants and a few maids to serve, and even the cooks were Chinese, and he took care of them so thoughtfully, he was unanimously praised by the big guys.
So whether this guy is a villain or a gentleman, his ability to do things is leveraged.
If he is willing to cut off the root of his life and go to the Great Zhou Palace to be a eunuch, he will definitely be very good and have a great future!
In the evening, a few people sit on the deck to eat melons and enjoy the coolness, chatting while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait, the boat travels at a constant speed, and the breeze comes slowly, which is very pleasant.
"Na Mandu, is there any plan for your kid to please the master so much?" Xiao Chen said casually.
"There is a please, there is no scheme, speaking of which, my little life was saved by you, Lord Xiao, shouldn't it be right to serve you? Hehe, Lord Xiao, don't you have to stare at me, what I said is also the truth, if you hadn't killed Prince Seba, I wouldn't know what the situation was after all? "Namandu seems to be telling the truth.
"Well, that's a human saying." Xiao Chen smiled, "But what did the King of Burma send you to do with me?" Your dignified Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce, don't you have a serious job to do? ”
"Follow Lord Xiao, you're the right thing." Na Mandu said, "I also want to go to Da Zhou with Lord Xiao, if Lord Xiao recovers Shunfeng Harbor, I still want to go to Yanyun County for a walk, I don't know if you are welcome?" ”
"Oh...... That is naturally welcome, and in the future, our two countries will exchange trade, and everyone will get rich. Xiao Chen said.
"Hehe, Lord Xiao, you also said this to the small heart, now I don't want to do anything, I just want to get rich!" Namandu said with a smile.
"Hahaha, isn't it easy to get rich?" Xiao Chen laughed, "Cooperate with me in the future, and I promise you to earn a mountain of gold and silver!" ”
Namandu has not yet made a fortune, so Xiao Chen has made a fortune first.
The king of Burma did not break his promise, and ordered the Burmese sailors to select twenty of the best warships for Xiao Chen.
The tonnage of Burmese warships is not large, but it is not small, and it is indeed not much different from the medium-sized warships of Da Zhou, but the shape is quite peculiar.
There are two types of power for battleships, one is wind, there are three large sails on the battleship, and their ships are relatively small, and the speed of sailing with the wind will be amazing.
The other is manpower, that is, the oars, there are thirty oars on both sides of the hull, a total of sixty oarsmen, and when the war starts, sixty people paddle together, and the maneuverability is also super.
There are two major elements of naval warfare, one is firepower, and the other is mobility.
