Wen Tianxiang was thinking about his thoughts, Cheng Yue had already gone into battle to stir up the dishes, and the kitchen was immediately filled with unprecedented fragrance, and the cooks were all excitedly watching from the sidelines, learning while watching, and some people had the courage to ask a few questions, and Cheng Yue was also happy to answer.

Wen Tianxiang listened to Cheng Yue happily explain the methods and exquisiteness of various ingredients, watched the hot and fragrant meals being made, and was also immersed in this joyful atmosphere, and suddenly felt that the kitchen was really a good place, and the gentleman could actually enter the kitchen.

The dishes were fried one by one, and one by one the servants came in with plates, and under heavy surveillance, put the dishes on the dining tables of the outer and inner houses.

After the last dish was fried, Cheng Yue personally took the plate and walked to the flower hall where he ate. Wen Tianxiang was about to stop it, but he held back again. This metropolitan governor is a maverick, how can he listen to his own persuasion? After thinking about it, he also took a plate from the hand of a servant, and served food to others for the first time in his life, so as not to be embarrassed when he went in.

The ministers were certainly surprised when Cheng Yue entered the door with the dishes, but they were not so surprised when they saw Wen Tianxiang coming in with the dishes.

Wen Tianxiang is the champion! It's Wenqu Xing! Why did you follow Cheng Yue to carry the plate as the starting hall? This...... What a humiliation! What a system! But looking back, the two emperors served themselves together, and this honor was unprecedented, right? You don't need to eat vegetables, just today's wonder, you can see it even if it is not in vain.

Cheng Yue ignored their eyes, put down the dishes with Wen Tianxiang, and said, "Today, the sages have gathered to wash the dust for the governor." The Governor is grateful. As a gesture of appreciation. Stir-fry a few dishes by hand. Serve food to you together with Moon Xianggong, please taste it. He picked up another glass of wine and said, "This governor respects you with a glass, and you will need your help in the future." This governor should work with all of you to raise the might of the Han people in the world! ”

"Good!" Not only Xia Gui, Zhang Shijie and other generals, but even a group of civil servants also applauded Cheng Yue's words. They know very well that what Cheng Yue said was not a scene, but something that he really wanted to put into action.

After drinking this glass of wine, all the civil and military officials were impatient to stretch their chopsticks to the dishes. Last time in the palace, everyone only had a little. It's not enough to eat enough today, and many people are actually rushing to the food.

Immediately, there was an endless sound of praise in the flower hall, Wen Tianxiang also nodded and smiled at Cheng Yue, he also waited for several days, and Cheng Yue really did not disappoint him.

When the wine was hot, everyone couldn't help but mention yesterday's events again. Although the general process is known, it is still not detailed enough.

Cheng Yue told the matter one by one, and the ministers heard such a thrilling assassination. They were all amazed, and congratulated Cheng Yue again. If the Wenfu is facing a big enemy today, I don't think it's a big fuss.

After Cheng Yue finished talking about yesterday's events, he said to Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu: "Wen Xianggong, Lord Lu, I would like to ask the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to make a commotion together, and ask for a letter of state to reprimand the Japanese for assassinating the important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty." And this is the following crime, and it is an unforgivable sin. I want the head of Dazaifu Shoji Fujiwara and 10 million taels of sterling silver as an apology and compensation. If I don't, I'll take it myself, and then everything I've gotten and all the people of the territory I've occupied will be mine. Well, let's write it like that. ”

The civil and military forces in the seat were so shocked that they stopped the dishes and chopsticks and looked over here. It was the first time they had heard of such a domineering national letter.

Lu Xiufu hesitated and said, "Governor, according to what you just said, those two assassins are completely self-proclaimed, and Fujiwara does not know about it, let alone the emperor of Japan. According to the previous practice of the Ministry of Rites, it was enough to send a letter to reprimand and wait for them to send someone to ask for sin. The Metropolitan Governor has nothing to lose, so how can he ask them to compensate so many silver taels? Isn't this a bully? I know that the Metropolitan Governor wants to use this as an excuse to raise troops, but he must not oppress Japan too much, otherwise it will be unconvincing, and it will not show the magnanimity of the Celestial Empire. ”

Cheng Yue knew that he would say this, and immediately retorted: "Lord Lu, let me ask you, if they succeed in assassination, let's not talk about myself, how much loss will our Great Song Dynasty suffer?" ”

"This ......" is not only Lu Xiufu didn't think about it, but all the ministers present didn't think that there was such an algorithm.

Lu Xiufu thought twice before saying: "It's immeasurable. ”

Cheng Yue patted the dining table and said, "That's right." They almost caused incalculable losses to the Great Song Dynasty, I only need their compensation of 10 million taels of sterling silver, is it much? I don't think so. If only they are allowed to make amends, but nothing else is punished, isn't that encouraging them to do it again? Next time, if they really succeed, what will Da Song do? Who will crusade against them? Is it possible to plead guilty and pay reparations? They must be made to pay for what they have done, and they will know that they will be retaliated against for doing so. As for the question of whether you are worried about whether they will give it, I can tell you very clearly that they will not give it at all, and my excuse for sending troops is here. Lord Lu only had to go to ask for a letter of state, and asked the imperial court to send an envoy to Japan to reprimand them. Within two years, I will definitely set foot in Japan and seek justice for myself and the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wen Tianxiang doubted: "The Metropolitan Governor has publicly announced that he is going to crusade against Japan like this, aren't you afraid that they will prepare for the Metropolitan Governor to return in vain?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's just for them to prepare, and I will defeat them in a dignified manner." In this way, they will not find an excuse and will not dare to resist in the future. ”

Zhang Shijie said suspiciously: "Soldiers, treacherous." The Metropolitan Governor used troops before, and he won three of them, which made me admire him very much. The expedition to Japan should be controlled by ingenuity, so that the army can sacrifice and descend in exchange for success. Although Japan is small, but the soldiers are strong and strong, it is conceivable that they can defeat the Yuan army, and the metropolitan governor should not underestimate the enemy. ”

Cheng Yue nodded and smiled: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I've been planning this matter for a long time, and once I go out, I will do it all." By the way, do you want to go? ”

Zhang Shijie's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Is the Governor of the Metropolitan willing to let me lead the troops to the battle?" Of course I want to go. ”

Cheng Yue glanced at him and said, "Not only you, but Sun Huchen is also going, if there are others who want to go, I am also welcome, but they must obey my command." The main thing is not to let you work hard, but to let you accumulate experience. The conquest of Japan is only the first step, and there will be many overseas places that I will conquer one by one, and the more people I have, the better. ”

Zhang Shijie's eyes brightened, and he said loudly: "As long as the Metropolitan Governor has orders, I won't even wrinkle my eyebrows." Sun Huchen also nodded frequently.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, we'll make up our minds." I'm going to form a Marine Corps, do you want to lead it for me? ”

Zhang Shijie was stunned: "What is the Marine Corps?" That doesn't sound like a lot of people. ”

Cheng Yue sneered: "Not many people? Let me tell you, the Marine Corps is a separate branch of the army, which is subordinate to the Navy in peacetime, but can also be formed as a separate army at any time, responsible for storming fortifications and special operations, with the most elite personnel and the most well-equipped. The number of people should be at least one-third of the navy. How many people are in my navy, you know? ”

Zhang Shijie said happily: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is true? ”

Cheng Yue spread his hands and said, "What am I lying to you for?" Who in our military does not know that the Marine Corps is the only army that I am personally responsible for forming? Do you want to do it? If you don't do it, there are still others waiting, Wang Li, that guy has mentioned it to me several times. ”

Zhang Shijie slapped his palm and said, "!" Why not?! But I can't lose my official position in the court, what do you think of it? ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "It's easy for you to do it." The training starts in Hangzhou Bay, and when it is formed, you will go to the sea, and the attack on Japan will be your first battle. I can tell you that the training of the Marines is extremely hard, and you have to hold me up. If you can't, I'll change people right away, how about it? Do you dare to make a military writ? ”

Zhang Shijie was arrogant, Huo Di stood up and said, "Why don't you dare?" Most of the governors can do it, and so can I, Zhang Shijie! If I can't hold on, I'll be left to the Governor! ”

Cheng Yue put on a treacherous face, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, this is what you said, don't regret it, I didn't force you." ”

Zhang Shijie suddenly had a feeling of being evil, but how could he turn back when he opened the bow, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Manly man, of course it counts when you speak, does the metropolitan governor look down on me?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "I value you so I put this burden on you." Since you have accepted it, from tomorrow onwards, you can go to my barracks and choose any soldiers, and when my navy arrives, you can also go in and choose from me, and you can also recruit yourself. The Marines will be limited to 10,000 at first, and I bet that in the end, no more than half of them will be able to hold out, so you can recruit 20,000. I have here the syllabus for the training of the Marine Corps, and I will leave it to you, remember, you can't play at any discount. With that, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shijie.

Zhang Shijie saw that Cheng Yue's generals all showed envy, knowing that this was a treasure, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed it in his hand, and opened it to look at it.

After only reading a few pages, Zhang Shijie felt frightened. Oh my God! Where is this training of soldiers, it is simply training the devil. Let's not talk about others, can you do it yourself? You won't die halfway through, will you? couldn't help but look up at Cheng Yue with fear on his face.

Cheng Yue was looking at him with a smile, and when he saw him look up, he said, "Look at it, if it doesn't work, bring it up immediately, I'll find someone else." There was a clear disdain in his tone.

Zhang Shijie gritted his teeth angrily and said loudly: "What's the big deal?!" Death is death! I promise to train the soldiers! ”

The ministers were shocked, they were just training soldiers, why did they mention the word death? What kind of practice is this, even Zhang Shijie, who is known as the tiger general, is discolored? It turns out that Cheng Yue has achieved such a brilliant record, and the secret is not only weapons. (To be continued......)
