    Zhu Youxiao seemed to have guessed what the old lama was thinking, and said nonchalantly: "Master, you said that if I could control smallpox, whoever I want to get it can get it, and whoever I don't want it to get it can't.  Isn¡¯t that a fun thing to do?¡±

    The old lama was shocked when he heard this, but he still clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is joking, smallpox is a disease sent from heaven, how can it be controlled by human beings? The old monk hopes that your Majesty will put the common people first and never play with fire and burn yourself!"  "

    In fact, what the old lama said was very serious. If Zhu Youxiao was a stingy emperor, it would not be an excessive thing to deal with the old lama with this sentence alone, but Zhu Youxiao was a generous man!

    "Hahahaha!" Zhu Youxiao laughed for a while and said: "Master, do you know that I am the emperor? Since I am the emperor, I naturally have destiny. What's the point of a mere smallpox?"

    Having said this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Today is to see the master off, so I won't say these disappointing words. Come here! Get some paper and pen!"

    Qiao Wangjin immediately sent the pen and paper that he had prepared, and Zhu Youxiao took up the pen and wrote a poem on the paper!

    After the poem was written, Zhu Youxiao picked up the paper, dried it and handed it to the old lama and said: "I don't know when I will see my master again. Before I say goodbye, I will send a poem to my master.  This is my gift to my master!"

    The old lama was naturally flattered by the Ming Emperor's personal gift of poems. He took the piece of paper with both hands and said, "Old monk, thank you for your generous gift!"

    Then the old lama took a look at the poem on the paper. Zhu Youxiao's handwriting in regular script was excellent, and it looked pleasing to the eye. The poem was also quite novel, which made the old lama feel bright!

    Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the sky is filled with wind and snow.

    I don¡¯t know when I will return from here. The setting sun is outside the mountains.

    At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, there are only a few close friends.

    A ladle of turbid wine will extinguish all the remaining joy. Don¡¯t sleep in the cold tonight.

    Zhu Youxiao wrote the poem "Farewell" written by the later master Hongyi. He only changed a few words to suit the occasion. But when the old lama saw this poem, he could still feel Zhu Youxiao's deep affection for him!

    The old lama left with Zhu Youxiao¡¯s plagiarized poems and endless touching. He wanted to return to the grassland to complete his mission!

    Looking at the old lama's retreating figure, Qiao Wangjin approached Zhu Youxiao and asked, "Your Majesty! Is this pavilion going to be demolished?"

    Zhu Youxiao glanced at the pavilion, pondered for a moment and said, "Don't demolish it. Although it is only built for the occasion, it can be left here to give passers-by a rest in the future!"

    After seeing off the old lama, Zhu Youxiao began to formulate a plan to attack the Japanese country. After all, this was a national war and could not be taken carelessly. Therefore, the people of Jinyiwei kept all the news about the Japanese country almost day and night.  Send back to Beijing!

    Matsudaira Kubo, who became the leader of the first puppet army of the Ming Empire, also tried his best to provide all the information about the Japanese country. In the past month of busy work, the complete map and humanistic information of the Japanese country were sorted out.  about there!

    At the same time, Cao Ling also followed Zhu Youxiao's order, mobilized 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry in the Guards, and led an army of 30,000 to march towards Nanjing in the wind and snow!

    The cavalry led by Cao Ling is mainly based on the "Blood Flag Army", and 8,000 people are carefully selected. The horses are equipped according to the standard of one person and two horses. At the same time, the 2,000 people of the "Blood Flag Army" are still equipped with muskets and steel tiger squats.  Cannon, its combat capabilities can be said to be extremely strong!

    The equipment of the 20,000 Guards infantry is not inferior to that of the cavalry. Although the Guards infantry has not been on the battlefield since its formation, Qi Jin and Qin Liangyu are both very powerful generals!

    In addition, the infantry of the Guards was based on Qi Jiajun and Baigan soldiers, recruiting good sons from poor families for rigorous training. Zhu Youxiao was a generous emperor, and the Guards were well-paid and had plenty of food.  So fleshy that after more than half a year of hard training, this nearly modern infantry has been forged into a sharp blade that has not yet been unsheathed!

    The most important thing is that in order to be able to fight the Japanese war successfully, Zhu Youxiao spared no expense and equipped all the 20,000 infantrymen on the front line with Mini rifles. In addition, he also equipped them with a hundred steel heavy cannons, that is,  The twelve-pounder gun as it is called in the West, but this twelve-pounder gun is not a cumbersome and stupid thing, but a copy of the extremely famous "Napoleon Cannon" in later generations!

    This kind of artillery weighs no more than 500 kilograms. It has its own wheeled gun mount, which is very convenient for transportation and transfer. It can fire solid bullets, split bullets, and shotgun shells. The longest range is up to two thousand steps, and the accurate range is also about a thousand steps. It can be said that  This is the most successful piece of artillery plagiarized by Zhu Youxiao, a time traveler!

    Another 20,000 Guards infantry were also equipped with 1,000 steel guns.?Tiger Crouching Cannon, this heartless thing is cheap, sturdy, and durable. Although its range is only three hundred steps, it is deeply loved by the majority of officers and soldiers, so there are already a lot of them in the army!

    With such a firepower configuration, Zhu Youxiao believed that as long as all the expeditionary force did not capsize and fall into the sea, the Japanese country would basically be doomed!

    In fact, if according to the plan of attacking Tsushima Island first, Cao Ling should take people to Liaodong, then take a boat to Jeju Island, and then attack Tsushima Island from nearby Jeju Island, instead of heading towards Nanjing in the winter!

    Cao Ling did this for two reasons. First, he wanted to continue to integrate the troops during this march and conduct coordinated infantry and cavalry drills. In this regard, he gave detailed tasks to the two commanders of the Guards Infantry, Ma Xianglin and Qi Yuangong!

    It should be explained here that Ma Xianglin is the son of Qin Liangyu and Qi Yuangong is the son of Qi Jin. Zhu Youxiao asked them to go out as the infantry commanders of the Guards in order to train a younger generation of generals!

    The second reason why Cao Ling went to Nanjing was that a large number of Western ships were being built in the Nanjing Shipyard. At the same time, the Liaodong Navy also received an order to assemble 300 warships and march to Nanjing. They wanted to repair them in the Nanjing Shipyard.  Warship, and conduct a series of coordinated training with Cao Ling's army!

    At the end of February, Cao Ling's army arrived in Nanjing and received seven newly built Western ships, as well as 300 warships of the Liaodong Navy and 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Navy!

    The Liaodong Navy sent out 7,000 sailors and 3,000 marines this time. The leader was the Liaodong Navy Military Police Commander Wang Hua. It can be said that Mao Wenlong sent out the best of the Liaodong Navy this time. This shows that Mao Wenlong sent out the best of the Liaodong Navy.  The commander-in-chief is so obsessed with grabbing the credit!

    But Cao Ling naturally doesn't care about this. An army that doesn't want to take credit has no combat effectiveness. Only an army that is ambitious and wants to take all the credit will be brave enough to fight without fear of life and death!

    Just when Cao Ling was reorganizing and reorganizing his army, something unexpected happened. Nearly 700 private merchant ships also gathered in Nanjing. Their purpose was simple, to follow the Ming army to the Japanese country to make a fortune!

    Because the organizer of this gathering of merchant ships was Weisman, the second manager of the Royal Trading Company, Cao Ling did not pursue any leaks, because since the Royal Trading Company was involved, the person who ordered this matter was naturally the emperor, and he did not have the courage.  Mind the emperor's business!

    However, what surprised Cao Ling was that these merchant ships were not just for loading goods. Each ship had at least seven or eight cannons, and as many as twenty cannons. Although these cannons were all old bronze cannons,  But the combined firepower of so many ships cannot be underestimated!

    And the sailors on these merchant ships are not only skilled in sailing, but also have extraordinary skills. What makes Cao Ling even more happy is that many of these ships take the route of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, so they can be said to be natural guides!

    Since there are so many free helpers, and among them are the emperor's instructions, Cao Ling will naturally not push it outside. Of course, he will not let those merchant ships do their own thing. Instead, he will organize all the merchant ships and let Weisman.  The old maritime merchant was the leader and formed a Ming Dynasty maritime merchant support fleet!

    The task of this fleet is very simple, it is responsible for transporting soldiers and supplies. Their reward is also very real, that is, under the protection of the Ming Dynasty official army, they can land in Japan to rob and capture slaves wantonly!
