"Holy Lord, you are the king of a country, and you must not go to danger in person, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Looking at the many henchmen kneeling in the hall, Li Nan sighed helplessly: "This time I went north to go deep into the dangerous land of the Song Kingdom, not only to fight against the Jin State Iron Cavalry, but also to worry about the Song Army's repetition at all times, which can be regarded as a move of nine deaths." Most of the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were from Jiaozhi, Zhancheng and other places, and they did not volunteer to save the Song Dynasty in the north, but because of my selfishness. If these soldiers are allowed to risk their lives and go north, and I am left alone in a safe place, I will be unbearable, uneasy, and unhappy, and I hope that all the secretaries can understand my feelings. ”

Lin Chong knelt down and begged for help: "The last general knows the mind of the saint, but you are the core lifeblood of the Chinese Empire, as the saying goes, the dragon is not good without a leader, so the last general is willing to lead the royal forest army under his command to the north, hoping that Your Majesty will give permission!" ”

"The minister is also willing to go north instead of His Majesty!" Minister of National Defense, first-class town Guogong Lu Zhishen also said loudly.

"I want to go!"

"The minister is also willing to go!"

Seeing that the ministers were afraid that they would have an accident, and all of them were rushing to lead the army north on his behalf, Li Nan's heart suddenly became warm, and it seemed that it was not useless for him to treat them with sincerity all these years.

"Everyone, get up." Li Nan came to Lu Zhishen to help him up, and then thanked everyone: "I know that each of you is willing to take the risk on my behalf, I thank you here!" ”

Seeing Li Nan, the emperor, saluting at him, the people present hurriedly dodged and did not dare to accept this salute.

Li Nan looked at everyone and said with feeling: "Some people know, some people don't know, in fact, I, Li Nan, am not a person in this world, and it can be said that it is a miracle to be able to come to this world." ”

As for Li Nan's magical origin, those followers brought from other worlds naturally knew something, but there were still some people who didn't know about it, so they all showed surprised looks.

"Not long after I came into this world, I knew the dynasty I was in, and I also knew the future fate of many people. As a person who has undergone miracles, I believe that I have a special responsibility and destiny, and this may be what the gods expect from me, so I can't let anyone replace me, I have to do it myself! ”

Li Nan's very emotional words not only reaffirmed his determination to go north, but also involved the affairs of the gods, although everyone was worried about his safety, they could no longer persuade him.

Since no one can stop this matter, what the civil and military ministers who care about him can do is to strengthen the level of the army in battle.

Since the Song State did not have the confidence to resist the elite army of the 60,000 Empire, Huizong Zhao Ji also reduced the number of imperial troops entering the Song State by half while agreeing to this rescue operation in the southern country.

To put it simply, Li Nan drove his own expedition to rescue the Song State this time, not only to face the 130,000 iron cavalry on the east and west roads of the Jin Kingdom, but also to be vigilant against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Song State.

The requirements of the Song State were strict, but Li Nan had to go north, so the six major legions of the empire began to select, and 30,000 of the most elite soldiers were selected from the best of 200,000 people.

The most powerful war elephant regiment in the empire was the first to be eliminated because it could not adapt to the climate in the north, and because Li Nan led a lone army to go deeper, logistics could not be guaranteed in time.

The empire lacked horses like the Song State, but it also got a lot of transactions with Western Xia and Tubo over the years, and with the whole country raising, it still integrated a cavalry force of 10,000 people.

This time in the north, although the Song State promised to support grain and grass, the words of the enemy country should not be believed, so each soldier also had to carry food that could survive for half a month.

Each person had a limited amount of weight to carry, and since they had to prepare food, the amount of ammunition they could carry would be correspondingly smaller, which undoubtedly made it very difficult for the Imperial army, which relied entirely on firearms.

In view of this, the 5,000 Ox Roar Heavy Infantry, who are good at using cold weapons, will also join this special army.

The giants from the world of ice and fire are extremely powerful in combat power and deterrence, but the amount of food of these big guys is directly proportional to their strength, so Li Nan thought about whether to bring them for a long time, and finally a hundred giants also joined in.

In addition, there are also Han Guo beauty An Yuyun, who is good at long-range sniping, and 300 long-range attackers trained by her, and 1,000 ninjas trained by Hattori Hanzo and Shiranui Mai.

Because Li Nan wanted to go north in person, there were many people who wanted to protect him with the army, Spartacus and other commanders of various legions scrambled to be the first, and the concubines of the harem were also in a mess, but they couldn't completely leave the thriving huge empire behind, and only a few people were able to make it in the end.

Shapeshifter Var, who can manipulate birds to gain his career; Originally a Roman slave, he came to this world to work hard in the army for many years, and made countless meritorious contributions to the Germanic brothers Juno and Eligon; Wei Xiangman, the martial concubine who led the bull roar barbarian heavy infantry; Superb riding skills, using the sun and moon double swords, the virtuous concubine Hu Sanniang; Miranda, a talented person who is proficient in coercing confessions, and Hanzo Hattori, who has disappeared without a trace, and so on.

In fact, Li Nan originally wanted to take Emma, the white queen who has psychic abilities and can detect other people's thoughts, but Emma is also very busy with Natasha now, and the supervision department in charge of the two daughters is very important.

After several wars, the Empire's firearms have become famous all over the world, and since then, there has been a constant flock of elaborators sent by other countries, all wanting to obtain the design drawings of various firearms and the secret recipe of gunpowder.

Originally, after Li Nan returned from the American world with Emma and Natasha, she used her ability to completely eliminate the undercover work left in the Qiyuan Prefecture Arsenal, but since Song Guo relied on imitation firearms to defeat the Western Xia Iron Cavalry, countless people who are not afraid of death have made a comeback.

Nowadays, Emma must often sit in the Qiyuan State Arsenal to prevent secrets from leaking, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, I am afraid that firearms that belong to the empire will be known to outsiders sooner or later, and all they can do is to delay this time as much as possible.

This time, the whole army was equipped with the newly developed 'Southern Fire Serpent II' rifle, in addition to the more reinforced barrel, the most important thing is that this smoothbore gun abandons the quantitative powder pot and the delicate projectile wrapped in deerskin, and uses a more convenient bullet.

The muskets used by the empire and the Song dynasty before were generally filled with gunpowder directly from the muzzle and then loaded with bullets, which was slow and the amount of charge each time was uncertain, so the shooting effect was also unstable.

In order to speed up the reload and provide a certain amount of medicine, countless experts and skilled craftsmen from the Imperial Ministry of Science and Technology quickly developed a paper bullet.

They loaded the warhead into a paper cartridge case along with gunpowder, which saved a lot of reload time and thus greatly increased the rate of fire.

After everything was ready, Li Nan still let the demon girl Ruiwen turn into his own appearance and sit in Changsha, often appearing in front of the public, so as to reduce his danger.

It is estimated that if Li Nan really reveals his identity, then I am afraid that his father-in-law, Taishan Hui Zhao Ji, will give up everything and send troops to kill him at any cost.

Just when the East Route Army of the Jin Kingdom led by Wanyan Zonghan was still fighting fiercely with the defender Zhang Xiaochun in Taiyuan City, and when the Eastern Route Army led by Wanyan Zongwang was frustrated in attacking the two cities of Baozhou and Ansu Army, Li Nan led the 30,000 elites of the Chinese Empire to begin to go north.
