The map was large, covering almost the entire wall, and it was commissioned by a group of missionaries on his behalf, and according to the missionary, it was one of the most accurate maps of the world on earth.

Earth - this word is also a new word that has only recently become popular, I don't know which missionary said it first, but it has become popular anyway, these Westerners think that the earth is a huge solid sphere, and all things, including human beings, live on its surface, like moss on a large stone. This fresh doctrine greatly impacted Zhao Song's original inherent worldview, but it seems that the emperor is not too disgusted with this statement.

The emperor said that the earth is flat, that is, flat, the emperor said that the earth is a ball, then it must be a ball, so Zhao Song has not been hurt by this problem.

The emperor's eyes were on the north at this time, but Zhao Song didn't think there was anything in the north that needed special attention.

Since a few years ago he assisted the then Ming Dongjiang Town on Phi Island, resisting the Jurchen army of Huang Taiji together, he has been fighting in Liaodong all these years, first directly under the emperor, and then under the command of Ji Guogong Chen Sheng, in a few years he led his troops from Phi Dao, Jinzhou, all the way to the Jurchen sphere of influence to assault, the Jianzhou Jurchens who had been independent into a country, operated for two generations and known as "invincible", and the whole country was beaten to pieces, Only a few remnants of the forces fled north, hiding in the snowy mountains and old forests, and they were in constant panic in the midst of the constant purge.

Now Liaodong has been basically pacified, so a large number of troops have been transferred from Liaodong, Ji Guogong is now sitting in Shenyang, in fact, there is not much work, now he is in charge of civil affairs more, and Zhao Song and his troops have been stationed in the suburbs of Shenyang recently, and there has been no war for many days, as if there is some taste of horses in Nanshan.

In fact, the Mongolian side does not have to worry too much, since the first battle in Tumubao defeated the former Ming army and attacked the city of Beijing, shaking the world, Mongolia has been divided for two hundred years, each other divided into countless tribes to attack and kill each other, although there are some strongmen in the middle, but no one has been able to unify the whole Mongolia.

A while ago, Mongolia produced a Lin Dan Khan, he attacked everywhere, annexed many Mongolian tribes, and his strength has been expanding, as if he had some Mongolian communist posture, but after entering Beijing and destroying the Ming Dynasty, the emperor sent a large army to the north, and the army went deep into the hinterland of Mongolia, defeated Lin Dan Khan's army, captured and killed countless Mongolian soldiers, and even Lin Dan Khan died in the battle array. Since this war, the Mongol tribes have been extremely afraid of the Han Dynasty, and few people have dared to disrespect the Han Dynasty.

Now Cao Guogong Jixiang led a large army to be stationed in Guihua City, the capital of Lin Dan Khan at that time, and monitored the movements of various Mongolian tribes at any time, and did not hear of any troubles on the border now.

Jurchen, Mongolia, these two external troubles that gave the Ming Dynasty a headache for I don't know how many years and how much money and effort were spent, and they were defeated by the invincible Han army not long after the establishment of the Han Dynasty. The two princes also sat in the east and west respectively, suppressing and destroying the remnants of these two alien forces, making it difficult for them to become a climate again.

This result proves more convincingly, than any evidence, that the Han Dynasty is indeed a dynastic atmosphere carried by the heavens, and the emperor is indeed a saint from heaven, destined to lead the Han people to overcome obstacles and sweep the world.

In this case, Zhao Song didn't quite understand why the emperor was still suspicious of things in the north, so he had to pay attention to the map all the time.

"Zhao Song, do you remember the battle on Phi Island back then?" After a long time, the emperor, who had his back to Zhao Song, asked in a low voice.

"I don't dare to forget it for a day." Zhao Song replied respectfully.

Indeed, he could not forget. That time, he came to Phi Dao with a fleet, originally just to establish a foothold there, and then do some trade with the people of Phi Dao, who would have thought that he would come across the Jurchen army to attack?

The Jurchen generals said that as long as they handed over Phi Dao, they would let him go, they didn't want to offend the Zhao family's army, but he refused, he couldn't bear to watch the creatures on the island be destroyed by the brutal Jurchens, so he chose to follow the defenders on the island - no, it was better to say that he took the defenders on the island and resisted the siege of this group of Jurchen troops for more than 20 days and kept Phi Dao.

Many of his brothers died there, some of his closest brothers. Even, if he had been sent to reinforcements for another day or two, he himself might have been buried there, and he had the courage to forget all these years of hardships, all kinds of hardships, and the experience of near-dying?

"It's good if you haven't forgotten it, only those who haven't forgotten the danger can fight." The emperor said with a little emotion, "It's been almost ten years." ”

"Yes, almost ten years." Zhao Song replied in a low voice, speculating in his heart about the emperor's intention in mentioning this matter.

"Ten years...... It's so fast to think about. The emperor smiled slightly, then looked up at the map on the wall again, "Since you haven't forgotten the hardships and hardships at that time, you naturally remember how to fight on the coast with a fleet, right?" ”

This question really surprised Zhao Song.

Could it be that the emperor wants to send himself to fight in a place where there is a sea?

"The minister has a habit of recalling the various scenes of the war after each battle, and then summing up the experience and lessons, and always remembering these lessons and lessons for future needs. The Battle of Phi Dao was the most difficult battle in Chen's life, so the minister also recalled and summarized it many times, and I think I have some experience in it. After Zhao Song showed his arrogance first, he began to show some caution, "However, the minister also knows that the battlefield is ever-changing, and the experience of one place must not be completely applied to another place, and can only learn from the experience a little, so the minister does not dare to claim that he knows everything about relying on sea and land warfare." ”

The answer was ...... It's really flat and steady, it seems that Zhao Song, you are not only brave, but also quite strategic. The emperor turned his head and smiled slightly at Zhao Song, "It's okay, only in this way can I really entrust you with great things with peace of mind." ”

"Big deal?" At this time, Zhao Song was more and more surprised in his heart, could it be that the emperor wanted to let him lead an army out to conquer alone?

If that's the case, that's great......

"Zhao Song, do you know anything about Japan?" Before Zhao Song came back to his senses, the emperor's urging came one after another.

"Japan!" Zhao Song was startled again, and then quickly calmed down. "I've heard of some."

He had been at sea and in Liaodong, and of course he knew some things about Japan, but he couldn't say that he knew it very well, so he could only say it vaguely.

"Oh? Know some? Then say which ones to know. The emperor immediately asked.

"The minister is just hearsay, not particularly understood, if there is something wrong, please don't mind the emperor......" Zhao Song carefully laid the groundwork for himself, and then continued, "Japan is an island country hanging in the open sea, in the past, they were called the Wa Kingdom, and later because they were not angry, so they were changed to Japan by themselves. The country produces gold, silver and copper, and has been in contact with the land for many years, and is still trading with our country. In addition, I heard that their king was called the emperor, but he was overthrown by the generals in charge of the army, and the Japanese generals established their own shogunate and took charge of the whole country, and the emperor was forced to become a puppet by them. In addition, the minister also heard that there were many feudal lords in various parts of Japan, and they also had feudal rights in their territories, so their national decrees were many and varied. ”

"I really know a lot, yes." The emperor nodded slightly, then picked up a thin wooden stick from the table next to him, pointed to the map on the wall, the wooden stick slid lightly on the map, and moved to the upper right little by little, passing through Jingshi, passing through Liaodong, Goryeo, passing through a vast ocean, and finally staying on several islands in the sea.

"That's right, Japan. If I ask you to lead an army to conquer Japan, will you go? ”

When he heard this question, Zhao Song's heart felt like thunder. The emperor really wanted to let himself lead the army to conquer one side! As long as you lead the troops to fight, it is possible to win military merits, and the greatest military merit is naturally nothing more than as the main general leading the troops to conquer the enemy army.

"As long as Your Majesty says a word, the ministers will go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will never give up!" Without any hesitation, Zhao Song shouted loudly.

"Very good, that's what I want." The emperor's grim expression slowly eased, "But don't worry, Japan is not a Longtan tiger's den, I don't need you to die, I am still waiting for you to come back from the battle as soon as possible to receive a reward from me." ”

Reward ...... Zhao Song's heart was slightly hot.

The emperor has just promised that he intends to make himself a marquis, that is to say, this time he will lead his troops to attack Japan, as long as he can win, then he will definitely be able to make a marquis. That being the case, then what is there to hesitate about?

He didn't want to ask the emperor why he wanted to fight Japan, it wasn't something he should be concerned about.

"How does the emperor want to conquer Japan? Is it the end of the army to attack? He earnestly asked, "What are the ministers going to do?" ”

"You're asking me about this?" The emperor smiled indifferently, "I'm going to make you the boss, so this time I want you to analyze how we want to fight Japan." ”

Zhao Song lowered his head in embarrassment and began to think, but the emperor was not in a hurry, looking at him calmly, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Song didn't dare to let the emperor wait longer, so he desperately urged his brain and began to think about it.
