Chapter 890 [Battle of Kuangbei, the world is peaceful] five
Mu Linfeng then stopped and learned a lot about what Fang Jiahang had seen while in European countries. Although these things were no longer unusual to Mu Linfeng’s ears, Tagawa Miko, Tokugawa Jiahezi, Aangkong Jing and
Sakurai Rika and all the men present were dumbfounded when they heard this, as if they were reading a book from heaven.
The next morning, as soon as Mu Linfeng woke up, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Chen Ding, and Chen Jinnan came to check on Mu Linfeng's condition. When Chen Jinnan saw Mu Linfeng, he immediately greeted him: "Brother, are you okay?
"
Mu Linfeng looked at Chen Jinnan and smiled slightly, and said: "Jinnan is here, brother, nothing serious is wrong, don't worry!" Then he turned to Yang Geng, Chen Hui and Chen Ding and said, "Everyone is interested!"
Yang Geng smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Sir, the brothers and nephews of Shiba Zhi asked Yang Geng to say hello to you. There are too many of them, and most of them are rough people. They are afraid of affecting your rest, sir.
Let me and Lao Chen be the representatives!"
When Mu Linfeng heard what Yang Geng said, he nodded slightly, then turned to Yang Geng and said: "By the way, Mr. Yang, this change in Nanjing was thanks to the uncles and brothers of the Zheng family, otherwise I'm afraid this soldier would still be here
I don’t know how long it will take. Mu also thought about the suggestion made by Mr. Yang last time for a long time, and felt that what Mr. Yang said was right. Most of the Zheng family’s army are navy troops. If they are transferred to the inner army camp, they will be useless heroes.
The earth has buried the talents of all uncles and brothers..."
Yang Geng was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face remained calm as he said, "Do you mean to arrange for our Zheng Family Army to be assigned to the Navy Army?"
Mu Linfeng nodded, and then said to Yang Geng: "Yes, the Northern War is about to break out. The entire Central Plains defense line is in the north, and the second line of defense is in the Yangtze River Basin. Once the north is defeated, the soldiers will retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, so the Yangtze River
The safety of the watershed is also crucial..."
When Yang Geng heard what Mu Linfeng said, his heart trembled. He seemed to have figured out Mu Linfeng's intention, but then he saw Mu Linfeng looking at him and said: "So Mu decided to form a powerful Yangtze River navy, but for a while...
I couldn't find any suitable manpower, so..."
Yang Geng waved his hand at this time and said to Mu Linfeng: "Sir, our Zheng Family Army is all a navy, and the adults in the Yangtze River Basin only need ordinary naval forces, why..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he immediately said to Yang Geng: "Mr. Yang doesn't know something. The navy in the Yangtze River Basin has been abandoned for many years. Even this time to deal with Nanjing, the harmful navy was temporarily allocated. What's more, all the uncles and brothers of the Zheng family army are...
He is an expert on the water and can ride the wind and waves even in the sea, let alone the Yangtze River..."
When Mu Linfeng said this, he stared at Yang Geng and continued: "Mu also knows that this may be overkill, but now that there is a shortage of personnel, I can't find a more suitable candidate for the moment. I can only feel sorry for everyone in the Zheng Jiajun."
Uncles and brothers... But Mu is not looking at the immediate future, but the long-term. Mu’s wish is to hope that all uncles and brothers can help Mu to train a powerful naval force. At that time, Mu will naturally also
I will transfer all the uncles and brothers out one by one... I just want to ask the uncles and brothers of Zheng Jiajun to help Mu. If other naval generals are transferred back to the navy, they will definitely have ideas. After all, our families are relatives. I believe
Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang should be able to understand Mu, right?"
Mu Linfeng's words clearly stated the interests and family ties. Yang Geng is a smart man. He naturally understands what Mu Linfeng means. He also knows that Mu Linfeng is definitely not as simple as asking Zheng Jiajun for help, but what Mu Linfeng said
, which indeed left him unable to refuse...
Yang Geng glanced at Chen Hui, who had been silent for a long time. Chen Hui was indifferent and still didn't speak. Chen Ding didn't know much about military issues, so he naturally remained silent. Chen Jinnan, on the other hand, looked at Mu Linfeng.
, seems to be thinking about something in his heart.
After Yang Geng pondered for a long time, he said to Mu Linfeng: "What you said is absolutely true. Yang naturally understands what you mean. Yang will definitely convey it to everyone in the Zheng family, but you should also know that most of the people in the Zheng family army are
They are rough people. I'm afraid they can't understand what you mean for a while. Yang needs to explain them..."
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard this, then turned to look at Chen Jinnan and said with a smile: "Jin Nan, tell me, brother Wei, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
After hearing the words, Chen Jinnan pondered for a while, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "I want to be like you, my sworn brother, and be a high official who helps the people and works for the people of Li..."
When Mu Linfeng heard the words, his heart moved and he said nothing. Chen Jinnan's father, Chen Ding, changed his expression when he heard the words, and quickly scolded: "Is it possible for you to be an official like this?" After saying that, he quickly turned to Mu Linfeng and said
: "Sir, Jin Nan is young and immature. Don't blame me!"
Mu Linfeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Having lofty ambitions is a good thing, but you can't kill your children's dreams... Water flows to lower places, people look to higher places, and it's not a bad thing for children to want to make a career...
..." Then he looked at Chen Jinnan and asked seriously: "So Jinnan, I want to ask you, if you are the leader of a country, how will you make the people rich and the country strong and free from bullying?"
Chen Jinnan pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Brother, Jin Nansui doesn't understand national affairs, but he also knows that in order to make the country prosperous and strong, it is necessary to make the people rich.
The prosperity of the country is inseparable from each other. A strong country makes the people rich, and a rich people makes the country strong..."
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard this, looked at Chen Jinnan, and said with a smile: "Although what Jinnan said is good, it is just some superficial truth after all. So how can the country be strong and the people rich? To truly make the country strong and the people rich,
It’s not just a matter of saying a few truths, and people won’t become rich just because you shout a few slogans...("
Chen Jinnan smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded his head, and then said: "What my sworn brother said is absolutely true. Jinnan believes that if you want to be truly prosperous and strong, you must no longer have wars, seize development, continue Mr. Chen Zilong and Chen's agricultural reforms, and implement a series of
Preferential policies for merchants, the establishment of traditional Chinese studies, and the army should be reduced. Only the best soldiers should be used. The surplus soldiers can retire and go home to reclaim wasteland..."
Both Chen Ding and Yang Geng were listening to Chen Jinnan's talk, and couldn't help but nod their heads. Chen Ding's face was full of joy, while Yang Geng was filled with admiration, secretly thinking that if Chen Jinnan carves it out well, his future will be bright.
It's limitless...
Although Chen Hui is a rough guy and doesn't understand what Chen Jinnan means at all, he only knew that Chen Jinnan was well-read in the past. Now that he sees Chen Jinnan talking without any stage fright in front of Mu Linfeng, he can't help but look at Chen Jinnan in a different light.
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he laughed, reached out and patted Chen Jinnan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's right. What Jinnan said is absolutely right. It seems that Mu didn't get the wrong person..." As he said this, he looked at Chen Ding. Cai said: "Mr. Chen, your son is really talented and has a bright future..."
Although Chen Ding was happy when he heard this, he still acted extremely humble and cautious on the face. He kept saying politely: "My lord, you are so ridiculous. Jinnan is nothing more than children's nonsense... It's too hard to hear, it's too hard to hear..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, but said nothing. He already had another plan in his mind at this moment. Zhu Cilang was an adou who could not afford it, and he was already dead. Although Zheng Chenggong was his brother-in-law, Mu Linfeng was wary of the Zheng family after all. , Moreover, he also knew that Zheng Chenggong was a very scheming person in history, and this Chen Jinnan had no family or sect. Although he was an uncle to Chen Hui from Shibazhi, Mu Linfeng also knew that Chen Ding and Chen Jinnan had always lived together. In the countryside, I had no contact with Chen Hui...
Mu Linfeng suddenly remembered a story he had read in later generations. It was about Emperor Taizong's selection of the crown prince. All of Li Shimin's sons were fighting for each other and forming factions. However, Li Zhi never fought and would not allow anyone to form factions. , Li Shimin finally elected him, and after Li Zhi became the prince, he was always curious about why he was chosen as the prince despite having no power and no special performance. Li Shimin said to Li Zhi, because of this , you will not favor any party. If you are the emperor, you will fight if you don't fight. If there is no party, then all the ministers in the world will be your party. Li Zhi suddenly realized.
Of course, this is just an unofficial legend, but Mu Linfeng saw this from Chen Jinnan. Apart from being Chen Hui's nephew, Chen Jinnan's background can be said to be very clean...
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he immediately said to Yang Geng, Chen Hui and Chen Ding: "You three, Mu is a little tired..." The three people immediately understood and wanted to leave, but they heard Mu Linfeng holding Chen Jinnan's hand and saying to Chen Ding: " Mr. Chen, please let Jin Nan stay, Mu still has something to ask him!"
Chen Ding frowned slightly when he heard this, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Yes!" Then he turned to Chen Jinnan and said, "Jinnan, stay here and listen to your instructions carefully, and remember every word of it in your heart..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinnan quickly said to Chen Ding: "Father, don't worry, Jinnan will definitely listen to what his father and sworn brother say!"
Chen Hui and Yang Geng were curious. They both saw that Mu Linfeng liked Chen Jinnan surprisingly. They felt that Mu Linfeng had known Chen Jinnan a long time ago, and they couldn't help but feel a little curious.
