Dengzhou Governor's Palace.

Today is the day of the official establishment of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Japanese Slave State, and first Sima Jiong, the secretary of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and military judge, announced the order of the military department to form the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and then announced the establishment of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army was commanded by Li You, deputy marshal Cheng Yanjin, secretary and military judge, Yao Dong as grain and grass supervisor, Zhang Guigui, Gao Tong, and Hou Cheng as the chief and deputy chief flag officers of the Chinese Army.

Under the jurisdiction of the Offshore Fleet: Liu Renliang, Wang Jue, Wang Guoxiang as the chief and deputy commanders, 12,700 officers and men (including 2,500 marines), 75 ships of various types.

Army: Xue Rengui and Cheng Yanjin were appointed as the chief and deputy commanders, and Cheng Chuliang was appointed as the chief flag officer, with a total number of 10,000 people, and 4 armies under its jurisdiction, and the military envoys were Liu Anjin, Shen Ming, Sun Yongsheng, and Xiang Donglei, who were captured by Dengzhou, Qingzhou, Lizhou Zhichong Mansion and Dongmu Shou.

The order was announced, and Sima Jiong asked Li You to speak.

Li You said: "Generals, it has now been ascertained that the pirates are instigated by the internal forces of the Japanese slave country, and they not only burned, killed and looted in the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, but also plundered many of our people in the Tang Dynasty, according to incomplete statistics, the number is not less than 5,000 people. ”

"Huh? So much, huh? ”

"Pirates are too hateful to be spared." There was a lot of talk among the generals.

"Yes, the Japanese slaves are really hateful. The court decided to teach them a hard lesson, not only to meet the pirates, but also to make those who supported and directed them pay the price. Therefore, the imperial court decided to organize an eastern expeditionary army and fight directly to the Japanese slave country.

Although I am the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the war is all up to you soldiers to complete, and I am only responsible for your logistics and solve your worries. That's all I have to say, and I'll tell you the specific things. Li You said.

Wang Guoxiang, Liu Anjin, Shen Ming, Sun Yongsheng and Xiang Donglei thought that His Royal Highness King Qi would have to speak for half an hour for such a big action, but they didn't expect it to be over in just a few words. Not to mention anything else, this pleasure is very much to the appetite of the generals.

Sima Jiong said: "This time the prince brought a large amount of military expenses, from the date of the establishment of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, all the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army enjoy wartime treatment, the monthly salary will be doubled, and there is also a wartime subsidy equivalent to fifty percent of the monthly salary, which is also distributed with the monthly salary. The food standard was doubled, the whole army changed its clothes, each Tang knife was handed, all the officers were dressed in Mingguang armor, the soldiers were dressed in light armor and chain armor, and the bows and crossbows were ......" Sima Jiong said about the various new treatments of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The generals were all excited, and said in their hearts: "I heard that it is refreshing to follow His Royal Highness King Qi, this is also too powerful." No wonder His Royal Highness King Qi doesn't talk much, and he doesn't say anything to boost morale, just this treatment is more effective than any pre-war mobilization. ”

Not to mention anything else, the value of the Tang knife is three to catch up with a horse, in the past, the generals of their local armies were not able to equip themselves, and this guy took out tens of thousands of them at once, which is too good.

Then, Cheng Biting Jin spoke, he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi said very little, and I don't talk too much about old Cheng, in a word, as long as you are willing to fight hard, with His Royal Highness the King of Qi here, the credit will not run away from you." ”

Then, he said to Liu Anjin, Shen Ming, Sun Yongsheng, and Xiang Donglei: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi has made Xue Rengui the commander of the army, and you guys don't accept it." He had already seen that these guys were a little unconvinced by Xue Rengui. It's no wonder that the youngest of the four of them is also 30 years old, and Xue Rengui is just 22 years old, so it's normal to have ideas.

Seeing that they were silent, Cheng Yanjin said: "The old man knows more about Xue Rengui than you, he is very talented, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the imperial court. Did you see it, the old man was very convinced of him and volunteered to be his deputy. If any of you are not convinced, compare with the old man first. ”

Liu Anjin, Shen Ming, Sun Yongsheng, and Xiang Donglei bowed their hands together and said: "Su Guogong, don't dare to be humble." ”

Then, the meeting announced that Cheng Yanjin would preside over the training, and all departments would step up running-in training.

After the meeting ended, Liu Renliang stayed and said, "Lord Wang, Su Guogong, Xue Guogong They have been on the ship for many days, what should you do about this matter?" ”

Li You said, "Let's go see them." ”

Dengzhou Navy Division Military Port.

In the past few days, Changsun Shunde and others have eaten, drank, lassa, and slept on the boat, and they have long been suffocated, and all the officers and men are full of anger, and fights and brawls have occurred from time to time.

Ma Wengui entered the cabin of the eldest grandson Shunde and said, "Xue Guogong, it can't go on like this, you have to leave here quickly." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Didn't you say that Li You's kid came yesterday, why didn't he come to see me, I'll go to him." ”

Ma Wengui said: "There are all troops on the dock, and they won't let us go ashore." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said angrily: "I'll go up and see which of them dares to stop me." ”

As he was talking, someone outside said, "Xue Guogong, His Royal Highness King Qi has come down." ”

When the eldest grandson Shunde went out to take a look, he saw Li You and Cheng Yanjin, accompanied by Liu Renliang and Wang Guoxiang, walking towards the boat.

"Your Highness, you're here." The eldest grandson Shunde arched his hand and said.

Cheng Yanjin's qualifications are not as good as those of the eldest grandson Shunde, and he saluted the eldest grandson Shunde first.

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Lao Cheng, why are you here too?" He thought that Cheng Yanjin was also here to send him.

The eldest grandson Shunde didn't know about the attack on the Japanese slave country, and it was inconvenient for Cheng Yanjin to tell him, so Cheng Yanjin said: "I came with His Highness." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Your Highness, we have been on the ship for more than a month since we set off from Yangzhou. There are so many female dependents on the ship, eating, drinking, and sleeping, which is too inconvenient. When do you leave for Jeju Island? ”

Li You said: "I just arrived here yesterday, and I discussed it with Liu Renliang and them just now, just these few days. From today onwards, I will give you supplies and a batch of supplies, mainly some agricultural tools, tools used by craftsmen, and a batch of weapons. I'll send you away in three days. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Okay, just have a quasi-date." I'm going to get the news out to the people on board. ”

Li You said: "Xue Guogong, I won't send you anymore, let Wang Jue and them send you over." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Your Royal Highness, thank you for your troubles, and thank you for the care of the queen, you returned to Chang'an, saw Your Majesty and the queen, and said sorry for the ministers, and said that the ministers were sorry for them."

Hey, I won't say anything, I just hope that I can bury this old bone in my hometown in Luoyang in the future. ”

Li You said: "Xue Guogong, don't be so desperate, after you take Jeju Island, you want to settle down." Find a suitable harbor and build a large pier, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future. Three days later, Su Guogong and I will see you off. ”

At this time, Li You saw Ma Wengui standing aside and said, "Master Ma, you should assist Xue Guogong well." In the future, you will live on your own, accept the lessons of Luoyang, and manage your subordinates well. "His meaning is very clear, in the past, you were corrupt to corrupt the court. Now there are people down there who are corrupt, and that is the one who is corrupting you.

Ma Wengui almost wanted Li You's life at the beginning, but Li You generously did not pursue him. He said embarrassedly: "Yes, His Highness's teachings, the minister has remembered them. ”

Subsequently, Li You and the others said goodbye and left.

The news that His Royal Highness King Qi came to Dengzhou City quickly spread, and Takahashi Kumiko and others heard the news and specially came to the wine shop near the Dengzhou Sailor last time, hoping to hear more news. 8)
