Chapter 423 Old Ginger
Chen Mu felt that sitting in front of him was not the old Gao Gong, but the entire cabinet of the Ming Empire.

In his eyes, Gao Gong, who was ignorant of overseas affairs, asked the first question on the topic, "Is the army Chen Shuai left in Luzon capable of fighting? Why did he stay in Luzon?"

you still need to ask?Luzon is his base camp, where the military government is located, not to mention the peace of Guangdong and Guangxi. He is worried about Guangdong, which has been dispatched with elite soldiers and strong generals.

"This is the Nanyang Military Mansion, not the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army nor the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, nor the Military Department of the Two Capitals. There is chaos in the southeast, and there will be soldiers from the Southeast." "Lu Tong is still here, Yu is handsome and fierce, Liu Xian is worthy of battle, and Tan Lun is not old. If the enemy comes with a fierce force, our Ming soldiers will never have Chen Shuai's fine firearms and battleships."

"Fu Chuan firearms, Lu Shi's art of war, howling hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and all the good generals and old commanders--Chen Shuai said that overseas strong countries, only Xiyi, Puyi, and Hongmaofan, who can make their troops thousands of miles, may have three chances. Whoever takes Guangdong Province within a year?"

Chen Mu was stopped by the question.

He thought about it, and it seemed that he really didn't.

In these years, no one on land and sea in the west can really overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is advanced, it is very limited, and it is far from reaching the level of qualitative change.

The worst result would be heavy casualties. Even with Fuchuan, one of the enemy's largest warships, one Fuchuan would not be enough for two ships, two ships would not be enough for five ships, and five ships would not be enough for fifty ships.

To capture Guangdong, not to mention, let alone the Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian Navy Guards are now determined to forge ahead. Even in the era when Chen Mu was still a small flag, there is no one in the world who can capture Guangdong.

At best, they can break into Guangzhou Mansion, plunder, and retreat without defending. There is still a way to survive with the harassment strategy.

As for what Gao Gong said, Yu Dayou, Lu Tong, Liu Xian, and Tan Lun joined together to guard Guangdong, Chen Mu just laughed.

"Don't say the four commanders are guarding Guangdong. If they are transferred to Nanyang, they will each be equipped with shark boats and lucky boats. They will train for three years, with [-] soldiers and [-] soldiers, and enough food and wages." Knowing what to use as a metaphor, he finally pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said, "Six years from now, it will be Ming Dynasty."

"Six years?"

Gao Gongxin said that it doesn't matter if you underestimate yourself, but you can't underestimate those four people.

But he didn't continue talking to Chen Mu about this matter, "Chen Shuai said that six years will be six years. I really don't know as much about Nanyang as Chen Shuai, but the accounts are not deceptive."

Without good generals, one does not know about supplies, just like without a chief assistant, one does not know about finances.

Gao Gong read all the accounts of the Nanyang Military Mansion. Between the lines, it recorded everything that the Nanyang Military Mansion had done in the past two years from beginning to end. Learn more about the Nanyang Military Mansion.

"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, the project will not succeed. Even if the project succeeds, it will cause thousands of harm to the future." Gao Gong took out a pen and paper, and wrote down all Chen Mu's funding for Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian without comparison. The pen was clear and clear, and after finishing writing, he pushed the ink-stained letter page on the desk, and said, "That's not how money is used."

"It's turning a good thing into a bad thing."

"The memorial is submitted to the cabinet, and the Nanyang military government needs to use more capable officials and talents. The provincial Yangjiyuan, Louzeyuan, and Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau need the imperial court to allocate money. The imperial court's tax expenditure is insufficient, and the Nanyang military government's income has increased."

"However, manpower and material resources such as cotton cloth, warships, artillery, bird guns, armor, military service, corvee, etc. are insufficient. It is suggested that Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian have the advantages of coastal waters, and the imperial court allocates the collection. Sanatorium, Huimin Pharmacy.”

Chen Mu didn't understand at first, but then his eyes lit up.

Gao Gong ignored him at all, and continued: "Every year, how much is apportioned by the imperial court, the Nanyang military government reports to the cabinet, and the cabinet passes it on to the three provinces. How much the three provinces can collect is a matter for the three high-ranking officials; "Since the silver and property are cleared, there is no need for the Nanyang military government to intervene, and the governors and governors of the three provinces will bear the responsibility if things are not done well."

"A reward for technological innovation is also reported to the cabinet, the cabinet's Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Industry to Guangdong. Even if people have endless desires, not all the people in the world only know about corruption and power control. What are you afraid of?"

"Two of the ten bird guns exploded, and two of them were crooked, and there are still six craftsmen working hard. If you really can't even do this, the Ming Dynasty will die early, and you are not the only one in the world, Chen Mu, who is honest and honest Unselfish."

"These things can't be explained clearly by you Nanyang Chen Shuai with just one word - don't you want to die?"

Chen Mu nodded slowly, sat on the chair and leaned back, looked at the castle wall that was robbed before he could carve it, and said with a long breath, "Ouch—"

This world is really getting more and more difficult.

At the earliest, we can rely on bravery, cleverness and knowledge that others don't know, and we can take the lead every step of the way.Afterwards, what I clearly knew was almost used up, and my bravery was no longer useful.

Deng Zilong, Bai Yuanjie, and Chen Lin are all better at fighting than him; the standardization of tactics and weapons, Chen Bazhi, Shao Tingda, and Shi Qi are no worse than him; Such a reckless hero.

Fortunately, we have a bright head and can stay in Luzon to plan strategies and provide supplies for the frontline troops so that they can use their strengths without worry.

Well now, Gao Gong is here.

To a certain extent, the chief assistant who ruled the huge empire, thinking about his things is really like playing, just looking at a broken account can show him so many problems.

"If Gao Gong knew so much about Nanyang when he was the chief assistant, Ishijian Yinshan would have been held in the palm of the younger generation."

"It's not too late now." Gao Gong waved his hand to ignore Chen Mu's flattery, and said: "The "Wan Guo Tong Fa" is well done, although it is rough, it is still usable, but the sea is missing, since this sea is the sea of ​​Ming Dynasty , there is also the law of Ming Dynasty, but let’s not talk about small things today, we will talk about it another day.”

As he spoke, the paper on the table was pushed aside, Gao Gong picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on another piece of paper, saying: "Nanyang Military Mansion is doing Nanyang Military Mansion's business, no matter what else. Xiyi is no longer a confidant There are three critical points in the Nanyang affairs, one in Malacca, one in Japan, and one in America."

"Malacca is an important sea route. Although I don't know why you are so obsessed with silver, it doesn't matter. Just rely on silver. I think this circle can earn 500 million taels a year." Draw a circle and say: "Attacking to the west will cut off trade routes and silver. First come from the east. You said that the southern part of Amerika is the Xiyi silver mountain. Then take the Xiyi silver mountain and stabilize Japan first."

"But Japan doesn't use it like this. It has been more than a year since it sent more than [-] troops, and it has not achieved a major event. It is worthwhile to attack the land of three counties. It is not appropriate." Without blinking, he said without hesitation: "There are scuffles all over the Dongyi Kingdom. The king speaks lightly. It must be very hard. He brought the money into his capital, met the king, and taught him to send a memorial to ask the Son of Heaven to put down the chaos in the country."

"If it doesn't work, the next best thing is to choose a county magistrate and general with a gentle temperament, and write to the emperor for help."

"If the name is not right, the words will not be right. If the name is right, the words are right. The heavenly army crosses the sea and enters Dongpu. It's just a matter of sight." Gao Gong put down his pen, "You can get it at your fingertips."
