The generals stood up and walked out the door, ready to go back and get ready. There are many things involved in fighting a war, the simplest of which is that the ship needs to be overhauled again, and the same is true for guns and artillery, which is not sloppy at all, and these things are estimated to be enough for them to be busy for a while! Everyone else walked out the door, except for Lee Kwang-di, who was still sitting in his seat.

Geng Jingzhong took a sip of tea slowly with his head down with the tea bowl, raised his head and saw that Li Guangdi was still sitting there, and couldn't help but smile softly: "Those who know me, Brother Li too!" My men only know how to charge and fight, and none of them understand what I mean! Hey"

"What the prince said just now is still unfinished, there must be a lot of other considerations, how can I not stay and share it for the prince? In that case, wouldn't I, the great butler, be too undutiful! Li Guangdi shook his head and continued: "All the generals here just now are the top elites in the army, and their task is to fight, so don't think about anything else!" ”。

"That's what you said! If everyone is a civil and military all-rounder, I really can't control it! Geng Jingzhong shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

Li Guangdi turned his body to Geng Jingzhong's side and asked, "The prince just said half of what he said, but what other considerations are there?" ”

"Yes! The country is not the same as the countries around us. On the surface, they are all influenced by Chinese culture, but in essence they are very different. As far as I know, this Japanese country has worshiped the strong since ancient times, and it belongs to a country that bullies the weak and fears the hard. Once we can't show the military prowess they want. Sweeping away the resistance with the power of thunder, they are swearing to fight back. Such. It will be even more difficult for us to set foot in the territory of the Japanese Kingdom. On the contrary, if we are a qiēshun lì. When they are afraid, they will only grovel. But that's what I'm worried about, our strength is a little thinner after all, and the Japanese country is a difficult bone to gnaw! Geng Jingzhong spoke out his worries and listened to Li Guangdi without stopping.

Li Guangdi touched his chin, which didn't use much beard, pondered for a moment and replied, "Shizi, I think you're too worried. With our combat strength, there is absolutely no problem in defeating the Shimazu Satsuma Domain, and there will be no problem in turning to take Edo Castle. The current Wa Kingdom. Although there is only one shogunate to order the world on the surface, the princes everywhere are still unconvinced, especially those who are all kinds of foreign daimyos, who have always felt that they do not listen to the announcement. You must know that the Tokugawa shogunate won the world by trickery, and when Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to Korea, he found a reason to stay in the country, so he did not lose his strength and thus had an advantage among the princes in the Wa Kingdom, so that he seized the world of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son. This is completely different from forcing Qin to destroy the six countries and dominate the world. ”

Lee pondered, "If we take Edo all at once, we will have severely damaged the prestige of the Tokugawa shogunate. Then the Tokugawa family, in order to maintain their rule, will definitely agree to our conditions. If you don't agree, we'll add more fire and fight a few more battles. If the power of the Tokugawa shogunate is weakened, then the Wa kingdom will definitely have civil strife. If this is the result, it is not a bad thing for us. Anyway, it's impossible for us to occupy the Wa Kingdom. When they are in civil strife, we will support the weaker daimyo. Then it was good to take Nagasaki homeopathically. ”

"Huh? That's a good idea, so let's use it as a second option! But. The basis of this qiē is that we defeat the enemy who is blocking us. There is another question, if the Tokugawa family succumbs to us, where do we need the Wagawa country to open again? Geng Jingzhong asked again.

"This is the largest and largest plains on the island of Honshu in the Wa Kingdom, and it is the most economically prosperous, making it a good place to do business. I think it's better to have a new port closer to Edo, and it's better to have some soldiers stationed there! Li Guangdi said.

"That's good! It's close to Edo! Let them help us build the port when the time comes, hahahaha! Geng Jingzhong laughed happily. Now it's up to us soldiers! ”

The size of the Mawei naval fleet has now grown to a huge scale of 60 third-class warships, more than 100 frigates of all sizes, and nearly 300 fire dragon ships. The fire dragon ship has been built by various boats in the past two years, and the hull is only ten meters long, and ten such small boats can be built at the same time in half a month. For the Dutch in Batavia to the south, the dragon ship was arguably one of their most feared ships.

A few years ago, Zheng Chenggong used these dragon ships to defeat the Dutch. He ordered the soldiers to pile up hay and other flammable materials on the dragon ships, and hide the soldiers in the bilge, and then connected dozens of dragon ships in series, ignited the fire and rushed to the Dutch ships along the wind, and when the Dutch ships were on fire, the bilge soldiers drilled holes and destroyed the bottom of the Western ships. Or take the opportunity to storm enemy ships. It can be said that in the offshore range, the role of this dragon ship is also very huge. Zheng Jing on the opposite side has more than 500 dragon ships in his hands, which is also one of the reasons why the Dutch dare not fight Taiwan's idea again.

At this moment, these five or six hundred ships are all nested on the river surface of this small military port, stretching for five or six miles, and it seems to be relatively crowded in dense areas. Due to the rapid development of the navy, the original Mawei military port was no longer sufficient. Therefore, Geng Jingzhong ordered the construction of another port on Pingtan Island, the largest island in Fujian, outside Fuqing County, which was comparable in scale to Mawei Military Port and was named Pingtan Military Port. Under the construction of the experienced workers who originally built the Houyu Port, it only took more than three months to complete the construction!

Originally, nearly half of the warships were docked at Pingtan Military Port, and after receiving the order, except for the remaining ships, all the others gathered at Mawei Military Port! The same is true of Mawei Military Port, except for the warships patrolling the coastal waters, other ships have also gathered in the port. Geng Jingzhong looked at his fleet in front of him, this can be said to be a thousand miles away, and it is not an exaggeration to cover the sky with a flag, and he can't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Shizi, let's go, the hour is coming, brothers are waiting!" Geng Jingzhong rode his horse and stopped halfway through, looking at the fleet on the river here, Huang Dazhong's guards were not easy to sweep his Yaxing. Therefore, there was no reminder. In the end, Huang Dazhong saw that the hour was approaching, so he reminded him loudly.

"Oh. Let's go! Geng Jingzhong turned around and answered, and then lifted the reins. Chirp! ”

On the field of the Colonel of the Mawei Barracks. The 38,000 soldiers stood solemnly, all of them soldiers who were about to go to war. They were selected from 60,000 soldiers, and it has to be said that there was some luck. The exact announcement of the list of troops to fight was five days ago, and those who were allowed to fight were of course elated. Although the person in charge of staying behind was depressed, under the guidance of Shangguan, he quickly realized the importance of staying behind. If you don't look at your family, how can other soldiers go out with peace of mind!

Geng Jingzhong walked up to the high platform, and senior generals such as Li Guangdi, Wang Zhenbang, Ma Jiuyu and Zeng Yangxing were already waiting for him. Geng Jingzhong nodded at them. Then he turned around and faced tens of thousands of soldiers. For such a scene, Geng Jingzhong likes and fears it. What I like is that every time I see such a scene, it can stimulate his pride and ambition and make him more confident. What I am afraid of is that when I speak to tens of thousands of soldiers, I must shout at the loudspeaker, and in this way, it may not be possible to guarantee that every soldier can hear it clearly. Although there are some "microphones" in the middle that are specially responsible for passing on the word to ensure that every soldier knows what he is talking about. But he still tried his best to make his voice as loud as possible for the soldiers to hear.

Today's ceremony is a must, pre-war mobilization. No matter which dynasty or generation, the army goes out. Such a ceremony must be held, and the main purpose is to boost morale! Geng Jingzhong cleared his throat. Then he began:

"Brethren! Today, you're on your way! But. Do you know what the expedition is for? ”

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

Most of the officers and men below answered loudly in unison, and only some of the soldiers who joined the navy later did not know what to answer. I was selected to go on this expedition. Most of them are veterans of the former Mawei Navy. They fondly remember the naval battle that took place more than two years ago, when many of their brothers died.

"Not bad! It's revenge! We want to avenge the dead and wounded soldiers in the last battle! The purpose of our Mawei Navy is to ensure the stability of Fujian and let the people of Fujian and their brothers and sisters live a good life. We didn't mess with the widows, but they took the initiative to attack us. We didn't fight right away, because the navy was just building at that time, and its strength was weak. Now, we have strong soldiers and horses, and our ships are wide and artillery, and it is time for us to take revenge. Do the brothers have confidence in this battle? ”

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

Once again, the sound shook the sky, but it was louder and louder than just now!

"I am glad that the brothers are in high spirits! We are soldiers, so we should like the swords and swords on the battlefield. You are here today, not only to avenge the death of your brothers, but also to announce to the world that whoever dares to invade us, we will want someone to look good! Also, you're here, still for honor, because you don't want to be anywhere else at this time. Real gentlemen like to fight, sue me, are you gentlemen? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Good!" Geng Jingzhong's throat was dry, and he took a sip of water and continued to shout at the top of his throat: "Since the establishment of our Mawei Navy, we have not lost a battle so far, and we will not lose it in the future. A real horse-tailed warrior, even the thought of failure, will make people hate it to the bone! You won't die all, and you're only going to be able to sacrifice a few dozen of you at the end of each major battle. Don't be afraid of death, everyone will die eventually. ”

"That's right, the first time you go to war, everyone will be timid, even me. The first time I went to war, I was terrified at the sight of dead people. If someone says he's not afraid, it's a lie. Many of you have not experienced a real battle, and it is normal for some to be timid. But this did not prevent them from fighting like other warriors, for they would be humiliated if other equally timid comrades fought there and they stood idly by. The real heroes are the men who fight bravely even if they are timid. Some fighters are on the battlefield for less than a quarter of an hour before overcoming their fears. Some take an hour, while others may take several days. However, true masters, they will not let the fear of death prevail over their sense of honor and responsibility. Fighting is the competition that the gentlemen who are unwilling to live under others can best show their own courage. The battle will force out the great, and the small will be eliminated.
