The nautical chart provided by Nansheng Mi is only a foot square, and it shows a small section of coastline below the Japanese island, as well as several small islands nearby, and there is no other information.

Liu Xie angrily threw this piece of Zou Zou Baba, the so-called sheep dung paper of the sea chart, on the face of the difficult rice, and said angrily: "You are here to be funny!" ”

Nansheng Mi was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, picked up the "sea chart" on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty is angry, this is the sea route provided by our country." ”

"Get out!" Liu Xie pointed to the seat below, "Get over there, find a seat for yourself, you have to come over!" ”

"Yes, yes," he said, and the rice retreated.

The reason why Liu Xie threw him back was because he didn't want him to see the real nautical chart hanging on the court, because it marked important maritime information such as the coastline of Xuzhou and the surrounding islands, reefs, ocean currents, and continental shelves, which was important military intelligence and could not be known to foreign countries.

Liu Xie said: "There is no maritime information near the Japanese Island, which will be a test for our army." ”

Huang Yueying said: "Your Majesty, this difficult to lift rice and urban cattle to come to my Han Dynasty by boat, there must be a navigation log, you might as well come and take a look." ”

Liu Xie nodded, and Huang Yueying walked over and asked, "It's difficult to lift rice, what kind of boat did you take from the Japanese Island, how many boats are there, how big are the boats, how deep the draft is, what route you walked, how long did you walk, did you encounter waves, heavy rain, and other information?" ”

Nan Shengmi shook his head blankly, and Huang Yueying asked again: "There is always a logbook, right?" ”

Nanshengmi shook his head blankly again.

Liu Xie discussed the matter of going to sea with a few strategists here, and also listened to the conversation between Huang Yueying and Nanshengmi.

If it weren't for the system mission to conquer Yamatai, he would have really done that.

Liu Xie held back his anger, called Huang Yueying back, and then said: "Xiao Luozi, I have given you a task, send a few eunuchs to escort Nansheng Mi and Du Niu Li, ask them in detail all the experiences of crossing the sea to come to Dahan, and record them. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Be sure to ask in detail, everything they know must be asked clearly, including how many moles their queen Himiko has on her body."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiao Luozi agreed, and then called someone to escort Nansheng rice and urban Niu Li down for interrogation.

Several strategists discussed, and Liu Xie concluded: "At present, it is still difficult to decide on the route, so I think it is better to wait for a few days, and wait for the information on the difficulty of rice to rise before making a final conclusion." ”

All the ministers agreed.

A certain division returned to their seats and sat down, and Liu Xie also returned to the dragon chair and said: "After discussing it so far, I will summarize: with the Beihai Shipyard as a base, we will send 20 large warships, 120 heavy warships, and a number of other functional warships, and send 50,000 troops. Among them, there were up to 10,000 cavalry, 100 musketeers, and all the others were archers. As for the troops going to sea for the time being, the generals are also undecided, and the route is to be determined. Then I would like to ask, if any of you are willing to go to the Wajin Island? ”

After Liu Xie's questioning, a large number of generals immediately stood up to ask for battle, and many strategists expressed their willingness to go on the expedition.

"Little Luozi ......"

Xiao Luozi went to organize people to interrogate difficult to ascend rice, and just came back, he dared to answer: "The slave is here." ”

"After turning back and retreating, the generals and strategists who want to go out to the army will go to Xiao Luozi to sign up, Xiao Luozi, you go down and count. The registration period is limited to three days, and after three days, the training of sailors and marines will begin. ”

Xiao Luo Zi said: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xie said: "I have delayed a lot of time in the morning, now I will rest, give you two hours to eat and rest, continue the meeting in the afternoon, and disperse!" ”

The ministers began to leave gradually, Liu Xie also left on the side of the hall, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly said to Xiao Luozi: "You go and call Yan'er." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie left the Qinzheng Palace, and found a place in the imperial garden to sit down and wait for Yan'er's arrival.

After a while, Yan Er came over and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Liu Xie and said, "Concubine Ai is exempt, sit down." ”

Yan Er said: "Your Majesty must have something important to recruit me at this moment. ”

Liu Xieran's little Luo Zi and his entourage all walked away and said: "This time I went to the Japanese Island, according to the usual practice, I am still the royal driver. ”

Yan Er said: "Your Majesty can't, the sea is far away, Your Majesty can't be far away, to prevent changes." ”

"So, that's why I called you alone."

"Your Majesty, ......what do you mean?"

Liu Xie said: "When pacifying the princes, you sat in Jingzhou and did a good job. Therefore, this expedition to the Waren Island, I plan to let you stay behind and manage the government. ”

Yan Er knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please take back your fame, how can the concubine be virtuous, but this is a big responsibility?" ”

Liu Xie helped her up and said, "I don't feel at ease with anyone, only when I hand it over to you, I can rest assured, only you are the most sincere and loyal to me." Do you think you should fail me? ”

Yan Er was silent.

Liu Xie feigned anger: "Is it okay?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine will live up to her mission."

"Alas, that's right, tomorrow I will announce this appointment, don't worry, there will be someone to assist you, you just need to help me look after my country, so that I can fight at ease on the front line."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but the concubine wants to go with Your Majesty."

"No, this is an overseas expedition, and someone must sit at home!"

"Alright then, Your Majesty."

"There's one more thing that might be difficult for you."

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Xiaoxue is three years old," Liu Xie said, "and she will become my Han and the only female crown prince in history, the future female emperor of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Don't interrupt, listen to what I'm saying. I plan to take her on a journey, honing her since she was a child, and cultivating her into a martial emperor who is proud of the world. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"What, are you reluctant? If you want your child to be promising, you have to be cruel to her! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, this matter is settled, Yan'er," Liu Xie took her with one hand and supported her chin with the other, "You listen to me, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Yan Er said: "The concubine knows that Your Majesty is pampering the concubine in this special way, but Your Majesty, if you do this, how can you let the concubine repay you." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "If it weren't for you, today's big man wouldn't know what the society is like, all this I gave you is what you deserve, but I have to work hard for you." ”

Yan Er said: "It's not hard, it's not hard to be tired to death, Your Majesty, you are really hard." Your Majesty, rest assured, when you go to the Waren Island, the concubines will do their best to manage the government and give you a stable rear. ”
