"I heard a story that in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, there was a captive woman who secretly ran back while the enemy was lax, but on the way back, she found that she was pregnant, she didn't want to give birth to a robber's child, she tried every means to have an abortion, and the final result was that the woman died for the abortion."

"Is this woman at fault? She is not wrong, it is me who is wrong, and it is our Ming man who is wrong. Our Ming boy and I didn't protect her well, so she suffered such a crime. Is a country still a great country that can't even protect the women of its own country? ”

"If a woman still has such integrity, will we seven-foot men not even be as good as a woman? If my new army is still living with its head in the crotch of its pants as before, it is better to disband it as soon as possible. ”

"Now that Lin Dan Khan has raised 50,000 troops to invade the border again, his 10,000 pioneers can reach the area around Datong as soon as tonight. The 20,000 of you are going out of the city this time to fight to the death against these 10,000 vanguards. This battle is not allowed to be defeated, even if the battle is to the last person, you are not allowed to take a step back, behind you is standing I am standing your parents, wives and children, if you take a step back, the entire Ming Dynasty will take a step back, your parents, wives and daughters will become the spoils of these robbers to show off their achievements. ”

"Today's Ming Dynasty has no way to retreat, there is no way to retreat, only by completely erasing these robbers from this world can we exchange the Ming Dynasty for eternal peace."

"Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?" Zhu Youxiao asked loudly.

"Yes."

"Whoever comes back alive from this battle will each receive a medal, and if you don't return, I will engrave your name on this land, so that you will be admired by all generations." Zhu Youxiao said loudly.

"Loyal to the Empire! Loyal to Your Majesty! The armies shouted together.

……

The medal, Zhu Youxiao finally got it out, and now there are only the Medal of Meritorious Service for the time being, and the Medal of Meritorious Service is divided into two kinds, one is the Golden Dragon Medal and the other is the Silver Dragon Medal. When the medal was released, Zhu Youxiao had already made a report in the whole army, and anyone who won military exploits in the future could be rewarded with the medal.

"Admiral, your five thousand cavalry must be ready to attack at any time." Zhu Youxiao admonished.

"No." Man Gui replied.

After Man Gui finished speaking, he couldn't help but say again: "The minister thought that five thousand cavalry should be sent out for this battle, and the cavalry should be used against the cavalry." "Man Gui is eager to fight now, and he can have today completely by relying on himself to fight hard in Liaodong.

"Your 5,000 cavalry is my hole card, and it's not time to use it yet. You must know that Lin Dan Khan still has 40,000 cavalry on the way. Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

Lin Danhan made such a fuss that Zhu Youxiao's original plan was all stalled, but fortunately, Zhu Youxiao didn't have time to do it when he was waiting for the generals from Shanxi Town to come over, otherwise it would really be a surprise.

"What is the movement of Fan Yongdou and the other eight people now?" Zhu Youxiao asked Luo Sigong.

"These eight people haven't moved at any time yet." Luo Sigong replied.

"Now that the big war is coming, it was originally to capture these eight people, but now we have to slow it down. Remember to keep an eye on these eight people, and don't miss anything. Zhu Youxiao told Luo Sigong.

"The minister understands that there will never be any mistakes." Luo Sigong replied.

"These eight people have been doing business in Shanxi for many years, and their relationship is even more intertwined, so we must not leak the slightest rumor before arresting the eight people, I will wipe out all the traitors who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The minister understands that the ministers are all loyal and reliable people brought from the capital this time." Luo Sigong nodded.

……

Under the clouds of war, even Fan Huifei and others were much more cautious than usual. Be careful in what you say and do things.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously.

"The emperor is good at state affairs, and the concubines dare not disturb the emperor." Concubine Ding said softly.

"I have the chance to win, just waiting for tomorrow to defeat Lin Dan Khan's vanguard army. I will personally meet this Lin Dan Khan and let him know how powerful I am. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"The emperor is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, and he has no rival in this world." Fan Huifei said with a smile.

"Haha, it's nature. But today I have to rest early, and tomorrow morning I will personally go up to the castle tower to cheer on the army. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

……

The smoke cage is cold, the moon is long, and the sand is long, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai.

The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river.

- Du Mu's "Bo Qinhuai"

When Zhu Youxiao was resisting the invasion of Lin Dan Khan in Datong Mansion, Jiangnan was at this time singing and dancing. The wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were holding a banquet on the banks of the Qinhuai River to entertain Zhang Guoji, the abbot of the country, and the accompanying people included Xu Hongji, the prince of Wei, and Yu Zhisoo, the general soldier.

After Zhang Guoji got Zhu Youxiao's secret order, he immediately rushed to Jiangnan. All places in the south of the Yangtze River are now waiting for the emperor to allow the sailors to go to sea.

Since Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family were disposed of by Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan's status as the empress has become more and more stable, although Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji only retains the title now, but in fact, his status has risen with Zhang Yan, and neither the garrison eunuch of Nanjing City nor the Duke of Wei easily dare to offend Zhang Guoji.

"When Your Majesty went out to Beijing to tour the west, I asked for a secret decree from Your Majesty, and Your Majesty was kind enough to allow us to lease the warships and soldiers and horses of the Fujian Navy Division to escort us to Jinshan to hunt for treasures." Zhang Guoji bowed in the direction of Jingshi and said.

"I just don't know what Your Majesty wants?" Someone asked.

"Since it is a lease, we must be responsible for the salaries of the sailors and the cost of the ships, and if there are casualties in the confrontation with pirates, we must also be responsible for the compensation of the casualties." Zhang Guoji said.

"But how to calculate the cost of renting this boat?" Someone asked.

"The full cost of buying a warship, of course." Zhang Guoji said.

"Isn't that too expensive? We're just renting ships. ”

"If you don't want to, I won't force it. This time the Jinshan road is far away, there are several years of back and forth, the wear and tear of the warship is huge, a new ship sails over, back and forth has to be repaired several times, do you still want a new dress to be repaired several times? This is because of His Majesty's mercy to allow you to rent a water master, you don't understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, and you actually dislike the cost is too high. Zhang Guoji said coldly.

"Guozhang, the villain is definitely not what he meant. But where will the money come from? That's a lot of money. ”

"It must be that everyone pooled money together, and only those who paid for it were allowed to follow them to Jinshan. And I've heard that the profits of maritime merchants are as high as several times, and the huge profits are enough to cover the expenses. Zhang Guoji said.
