Like most people, Zhang Zhiji was having a reunion dinner with his family.

As the supreme general of the Beijing camp, he has not personally led troops to the expedition for a long time.

But this battle is extraordinary, and His Majesty's attention is even greater than that of the time he once faced Jiannu.

And he knew that he had a heavy task, so he didn't drink tonight, and after a few simple chats with his family, he returned to his study, made a cup of tea, and began to think about some details of tomorrow's opening.

"Grandpa, someone came to the palace, saying that His Majesty wants to see you."

A voice pulled him back from his daze, Zhang Zhiji was stunned for a moment, and then put down the teacup and stood up.

When he reached the door, the butler was standing by the door.

"Where's the people?"

"Master Hui, I'm waiting outside the house."

"Order someone to prepare the car." Zhang Zhiji said. "Tell Madame."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Not long after, Zhang Zhiji came to the Qianqing Palace and saw Zhu Youzhen, who was dressed in regular clothes.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, sit down."

The two of them are already quite familiar, and they are not polite.

Zhu You ordered the inspector to take him a bottle of drink, and then spoke directly.

"It's all arranged at home, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already arranged. But there's nothing special to arrange, and it's not the first expedition."

"That's just as well." Zhu Youzhen nodded. "This attack on the Wa Kingdom, with the sea force as the vanguard, you don't need to do anything in the early stage. But once you've landed, you're going to have to pick yourself up. The Japanese people are cunning and deceitful, and you must be careful not to believe anything they say. They will always be inferior when they are weak, but at the slightest chance they will show their fangs and bite you in the back. It's basically an immature wolf, and you have to pay attention to that.

Not only that, but they must also restrain their subordinates, act according to orders, and not make arbitrary claims, let alone have pity for these people. And that you have to keep in mind."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Zhiji nodded yes, but there was something strange in his heart.

Your Majesty has said this more than once, why is it that when you are about to go on an expedition, you have called yourself over again to talk about it.

I have long remembered it, isn't it just to be cruel to them, kill what should be killed, bury what should be buried, how simple is it?

"Haha, I'm a little long-winded."

It seems that he guessed Zhang Zhiji's thoughts, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

"On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when all families are reunited, Your Majesty is still worried about national affairs, which is the blessing of the country and the people, not long-winded!"

"Haha, you." Zhu Youzhen smiled and pointed at Zhang Zhiji. "Many of the soldiers in the capital camp were born inland and do not know the nature of water, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to adapt to the sea. The medicine sent by the people the day before yesterday can relieve the symptoms of seasickness, and you can distribute it yourself. And then ......."

Zhu Youzhen talked endlessly, no matter how big or small, as long as he could think of it, he arranged it all over.

Zhang Zhiji listened quietly and added a few words from time to time.

The two chatted with each other, and it was not until the end of the day that Zhang Zhiji left the palace.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Zhu Youzhen got up.

By the time he arrived outside the Desheng Gate on the Imperial Rim, the soldiers of the Beijing camp had all assembled.

80,000 people.

Stand quietly in the open space outside the city, basking in the first rays of the morning sun.

The team is neat, the stomach is distinct, far away, you can feel bursts of killing breath coming, insects and birds are all silent at this moment, it seems that they are also disturbed by this killing atmosphere, and hide.

These are soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield, and good food and long-term uninterrupted training make their spirits look very excited.

The moment Zhu Youzhen's imperial chariot stepped out of the Desheng Gate, all the soldiers knelt on one knee, accompanied by the sound of the collision of armor stomachs, and knocked on their supreme emperor, His Majesty.

The uniform sound echoed over the capital, waking up the birds in the nearby woods and the sleeping babies in the houses inside and outside the city.

"All the soldiers are flat!"

Zhu Youzhen's voice came out through the sound of the city, and the soldiers who knelt down all stood up according to his order, like waves.

Then there was a neat burst of thanksgiving, and all the soldiers stood in place, waiting for Zhu Youzhen's lecture.

Zhu Youzhen came to the temporary platform, and after looking around, he said loudly:

"I remember the last time I sent you on an expedition was six years ago. At that time, Daming was in a precarious situation. There are slave building disasters outside the customs, disasters inside the customs are continuous, displaced people are everywhere, the people are not able to make a living, and the gathering of people to rebel has occurred from time to time. In all this, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Now, six years have passed, and I dare not say that everyone in the Ming Dynasty will live a life of fine clothes and food, but more and more people are getting rid of the torture of hunger. Some people say that I am a faint king, autocratic and authoritarian. Some people also say that I am the master of the Ming Dynasty and appoint virtuous ministers.

No matter what others say, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is constantly expanding, destroying Jiannu, collecting Mongolia, recovering Taiwan, and occupying Luzon. Over the years, I have heard too many words praising virtue and virtue. It is said that I am far superior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and that is a well-deserved emperor of the ages!

But today, I want to tell you. The credit is yours, not mine.

It was you, who charged again and again on the battlefield, to conquer this huge territory.

It is you who have practiced day and night, not afraid of cold and heat, that have cultivated a strong physique, and are not afraid of any powerful enemy.

It is also you, in the face of a strong enemy, who are not afraid of death and move forward bravely, so as to protect the people of our Ming Dynasty from the ravages of foreign races.

Today, you will embark on a journey again, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, on behalf of me, on behalf of thousands of people, to go to a new battlefield to conquer the Japanese kingdom that once took advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty to constantly provoke.

I, see you off, and hope you are triumphant. I also wish each of you a triumphant victory.

Da Ming! Mighty!"

"Da Ming is mighty!

！」

The overwhelming cries sounded again, and the atmosphere had reached its peak. Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Zhiji on the side and nodded to him.

Zhang Zhiji understood and shouted loudly.

"Pull out!"

The 80,000 soldiers left in an orderly manner, and Zhu Youzhen stood on the high platform and watched everything.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp remained at about 100,000, and after these 80,000 soldiers went out, there were still 20,000 left.

With the weapons and equipment and territory that the Ming Dynasty has now, no one can capture the capital.

Or even if they were able to get outside the city, they would be easily repelled by the artillery and heavy machine guns deployed on the city walls. He didn't even have to defend the city, and went out to fight directly.

But that's not going to happen.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zhiji did not hesitate to take so many people to Japan to fight in other countries.
