In the thirty-fourth year of Jinghe, on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
In the afternoon, Emperor Jinghe, who was busy in the imperial study, was reading some memorials.
This year is destined to be a good year again.
Except for the lack of heavy snowfall last winter, the rain conditions this year are also normal.
There is no situation where too much rain is likely to cause floods, and where there is too little rain is likely to cause drought.
Therefore, the emperor and courtiers were in a good mood during this period.
Especially the emperor. In the blink of an eye, his two sons, Mingshou and Mingyun, are already half a year old.
Seeing them jumping around and jumping into his arms, laughing and crying every day, Jing Hedi felt very comfortable in the heart of an old father.
It is a little regrettable that Emperor Jinghe has been working diligently to cultivate the fertile soil recently, but no concubine has become pregnant again.
But it doesn¡¯t matter.
Having two sons again proves that Emperor Jinghe can do it.
As long as he lets nature take its course and keep sowing seeds, he will surely reap something.
"Ge Xiang, Mingjing, Dabao and Aqin are very powerful in the southwest." Emperor Jinghe took a memorial that Ge Songdao had just given and said, "Look, it's only been about seven months." In time, they have already defeated the invincible troops stationed all over Sichuan, and simulated the capture of mountains, castles, etc., with no disadvantages. Do you think we can send them to attack Nanzhao this year? "
Ge Songdao shook his head: "I'm afraid not yet. His Highness King De said that the most important thing for them is to adapt to the rainforest environment Look at what His Highness King Wu said above, they haven't experienced the harsh summer heat yet, so they can't predict what summer will bring. How difficult the rainforest is, we cannot use troops hastily."
"Okay, let's wait."
Emperor Jinghe felt a little regretful.
Among the countries that invaded Dakang from six parties, Nanzhao was the weakest.
He never expected that such a weak country would dare to invade Dakang.
So in order of punishment, Nanzhao is ranked first.
Next up is Japan.
Thinking of Japan, he turned to Liu Renhuai, who was also sitting below, and asked, "Youngling, how is Xiaowei's situation? Have you set off?"
Liu Renhuai replied: "Mrs. Chen has already started making various preparations in Taizhou in late January, and it is time to set off."
"How many ships and how many people are they on this trip?" Emperor Jinghe asked with interest.
Liu Renhuai obviously understood. He answered without even looking at the information: "With the addition of four four-masted sailing ships, not counting those small fire ships and small assault boats, there are a total of fifty-two ships."
Emperor Jinghe thought about it and asked, "Is this very large?"
"It's already very big." Liu Renhuai said, "This fleet is already stronger than any of the squadrons of our Northern Navy and Southern Navy."
"Isn't it?"
Prime Minister Cao Yi took off her glasses and motioned to the palace maid next to her to bring her a hot towel, "I remember that their squadrons all have more than a hundred ships, and they also don't include these small fire ships and small assault boats. "
"They definitely have more numbers, but the problem is that the major fleets don't have four-masted sailing ships." Liu Renhuai said, "I once went to see the four-masted sailing ships in the water transport shipyard. This feeling is unforgettable for anyone. When faced with such a behemoth, there will be an astonishing feeling of powerlessness There is no ship in the Northern Navy and Southern Navy that can match it."
"What about the strength in fighting?" Liao Shicong, the Minister of War over there, asked.
"I'm afraid in terms of ferocity, Mrs. Chen's bodyguards are more desperate." Liu Renhuai said.
"Isn't it?"
Emperor Jinghe frowned, "Our navy has been established for a hundred years, is it not as good as the Chen family fleet which has only been in force for a year?"
Dakang's navy was established before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It followed Taizu in the southern and northern wars and made great achievements. It has been a hundred years.
Liu Renhuai would not cover up the North and South Navy. He said directly: "If it was the navy at the beginning of the founding of the country, although it was a little weaker in weapons, with its tenacious will and strong strength, it should be able to defeat them in turn. Mrs. Chen's fleet.
But the current navyit would be a blessing to be half as strong as them! Otherwise, why could the Japanese pirates succeed so many times the year before last? Are they really too strong? "
"snort!"
Speaking of Japanese pirates, Emperor Jinghe was even more dissatisfiedShocked, Zhao Shou stood up and wanted to protect Emperor Jinghe.
But after taking a closer look, it was Qianniu Guards School Captain Jiang Hu who came in through the door.
Jiang Hu, who had always been honest and steady, had a look of panic on his face. He shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, hurry up"
He rushed in, rolling and crawling, and before he could get up, he was knocked down by several Qian Niuwei guards who came behind him.
It seems that Jiang Hu just barged in without consulting them at all.
No wonder there was no sound at the door.
Emperor Jinghe was about to scold Jiang Hu, but unexpectedly, Jiang Hu, who was struggling desperately, roared: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince has been poisoned Hurry! Go and have a look!!"
Emperor Jinghe's heart suddenly sank, and huge panic surrounded him.
The emperor stood up suddenly and wanted to speak, but he only felt a little dizzy.
But before everyone had time to speak, there was another noise outside.
A eunuch's sharp voice rang out, with a cry in it: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty The fifth prince is vomiting blood Come quickly"
"Boom"
Emperor Jinghe's vision went dark, and he fell backwards, hitting his head on the back of the chair. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
