Unexpectedly,
Before he could finish speaking,
Mu Chaobi flew into a rage, "You're the one who's bullshitting! The war songs he wrote, you low-class literati could never write them!"
With a whoosh,
He took another big gulp and calmed down, speaking in a gentler tone,
"Wende, don't speak rashly if you don't understand from now on..."
Liu Zhangkuan, a Jinshi from two imperial examinations, felt ashamed when he was scolded. He lowered his head and said,
"Yes, Your Lordship."
Mu Chaobi didn't have such a bad temper initially. It was just that since Zhu Mo arrived, he had become increasingly conflicted. At one moment, he felt that Zhu Mo was very much like the founding heroes of his ancestors, which stirred his heroic spirit. But then, a wave of fear would surge from the bottom of his heart, making him feel that his future was bleak. This feeling was particularly intense today, causing him to lose his temper repeatedly.
Thinking that Zhu Mo was about to establish a foothold in just a few days, and moving against him would be quite troublesome, he felt a bit short of breath. He slowly asked again,

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered: That's right! If Mu Chaobi saw this situation, he would surely strike first...
He immediately said,
"Zhuo Wu, from this moment on, we must also be extremely cautious... Let's have all our men return, and we should not leave the firearm squad, lest unforeseen changes occur..."
Li Zhi asked in surprise, "Are you saying? Mu Chaobi will take extreme measures?"
Hmm,
Zhu Mo said sternly, "Naturally... Don't forget, the tenth day of the tenth month is approaching. An Xiaoliang said they likely sacrifice to the Imperial Grandson every year. I believe this year will be no different. Those people are probably all in Yongchang City... Even if Mu Chaobi is still hesitating, what about others? Especially those who collapsed after the Jingnan campaign, they are most likely to instigate him to act..."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and blurted out,
"Yes! Zi Xuan, as things stand, we must quickly train the militia. If we have one or two thousand men, we won't be afraid of him anymore! At worst, we'll fight it out!"
Zhu Mo looked at him and thought: Compared to Lu Kun, Li Zhi indeed has more spirit. It's a pity this man is too arrogant, otherwise, he could be greatly utilized...
"Zhuo Wu, counting the days, we left Hangzhou in early August, and now it's early October... I think Yu Dayou should have arrived by now? Why is there no news?"

Thinking of this,
Zhu Mo was genuinely a little nervous.
Because he had thought it over and reviewed it several times in the past few days—
If Yu Dayou had not forced the Portuguese to submit as planned, then Mang Yinglong, seeing the chaos within the Great Ming, would most likely march all the way to Dali. Letting the King of Lushuan be his proxy would be the pinnacle of his life's achievements. This man is a formidable figure, and if he were to take this staged act seriously, he would likely not stop until he achieved his goal. This means he would definitely fight, and his main forces would likely come from Shunning and Lujiang, and Mu Chaobi's troops, although considered elite, would likely not be a match for them...
While pondering,
Li Zhi said, "Zi Xuan, don't worry. General Yu is a man of few words and is unlikely to break his promise. Even if he can't fulfill it, he will definitely consider your situation. There will be an explanation, right?"
Right,
Zhu Mo nodded: The most urgent thing now is to gain control of some troops.
He immediately took Li Zhi back into the city, had You Jujing personally accompany them, and went to the training grounds outside the South Gate.
