Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Lu Bing nodded, but his face was solemn: "However, the border situation is still urgent. Xixia and Mongolia have wolfish ambitions, and I am afraid that peace will not last long.

Does Your Majesty have any further plans?"

Chu Ze raised his eyes slightly, and scanned the whole place with his eyes like lightning. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Western Xia and Mongolia are still in a dangerous situation, so we should not underestimate them at this moment.

I have already predicted that Western Xia will not give up easily.

As for Mongolia, the head of the Mongolian Khan is still hanging outside Tiandu City.

If those barbarians dare to attack me, I will kill them myself!"

Lu Bing was well aware of the majesty's divine power and could not help but be shocked, but he still whispered: "Your Majesty is wise and invincible, but now the state affairs are heavy, I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health, and the matter of going on a personal expedition needs to be considered in the long run!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly, waved his sleeves and said: "Lu Bing, when did you become so fussy? I personally lead the army, you just need to obey my orders!"

Lu Bing was immediately ashamed and dared not to persuade him anymore. He just nodded and said yes.

At this moment, Guo Huai came hurriedly, with steady steps, and said with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the court. Chen Haitao, the naval officer of the Southeast Jiangnan Water Fort, has arrived with his navy and is ready to be dispatched by Your Majesty at any time!"

Chen Haitao and Chen Hong are brothers from separate families.

Chu Ze had heard about the discord between the two.

Chu Ze nodded: "That old fox Chen Haitao must be here to ask for credit and reward.

I had expected him to come, but his navy is very important to me, and can control Jiangnan and quell the civil unrest!"

Guo Huai nodded and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right.

Although Chen Haitao is scheming, this is the time to use him. He is a Jiangnan hero. With his help, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Chu Ze looked into the distance. Under the city wall, the sails of the Jiangnan Navy came into view. The sails were densely packed like a forest, and the elite of the navy were all gathered there.

Chu Ze said calmly, "Bring him to me. I want to see what this Jiangnan Water Dragon Chen Haitao is up to today!"

Guo Huai received the order and retreated immediately.

Not long after, Chen Haitao strode in, wearing black armor and a precious sword on his waist. He looked calm and composed. Although he was a ruffian, he was not afraid of Chu Ze at all. He bowed and said, "Chen Haitao greets His Majesty!"

Chu Ze glanced at Chen Haitao coldly, and said in a flat tone: "Chen Haitao, when will the Rujiang South Navy arrive? What is the purpose of coming to Tiandu this time?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Haitao immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I arrived outside the city yesterday and will bring the navy with me today to help Your Majesty quell the chaos on the border.

If I can serve the country with all my heart, I will be happy to do so!"

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What a humble service.

I would like to ask, how far have the Rujiang South Navy advanced at this time? Have you discussed the matter of mobilizing troops with me?"

Chen Haitao was speechless for a moment. Although he was a man of the world, he did not dare to argue easily in front of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry to offend you. I came to Tiandu to discuss the strategy of advance and retreat with Your Majesty. I dare not act on my own!"

Chu Ze's eyes flashed coldly, and he sneered, "Chen Haitao, I know your heart.

I use the Rujiang South Navy because I value your elite naval warfare capabilities.

But if you have other thoughts in your mind, I will never show you mercy!"

Chen Haitao's face changed slightly when he heard this. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I swear to be loyal to you until death. I will never have second thoughts!"

Chu Ze snorted coldly and waved his hand, saying, "Get up, I will make the decision. When the Jiangnan Navy arrives, they will practice together with Lu Bing. I will personally supervise the battle. If the performance is acceptable, I will reward you handsomely!"

Chen Haitao felt relieved and quickly responded, "I obey your orders! I will not let your majesty down!"

After Chen Haitao left, Qin Yunyun walked over slowly, wearing a light blue robe, with her hair tied up high, and a gentle face. She said, "Your Majesty, now that the Jiangnan Navy has arrived, the situation on the border will surely ease!"

Chu Ze sighed and looked into the distance: "Yunyun, the Mongolian barbarians have joined forces with the Western Xia, and I know that their wolfish ambitions have not been extinguished.

Although the navy from Jiangnan has arrived, I know in my heart that this battle will not be easy.

But now the treacherous officials in the court are ready to make a move, and I have to be on guard! "

Qin Yunyun heard Chu Ze's worry and couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, although Yunyun is not familiar with government affairs, I know that Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, and will surely be able to turn danger into safety.

I just hope Your Majesty will take good care of your health and not overwork yourself!"

Chu Ze smiled calmly and gently held Qin Yunyun's hand: "Don't worry, Yunyun, I know what to do!"

As they were talking, Lin Ye came hurriedly, looking anxious: "Your Majesty, Xixia spies sent urgent news that there was a large-scale mobilization of enemy troops outside the border, and they seemed to be planning to attack the city!"

Chu Ze frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then he regained his composure: "When did you get this news? How many enemy troops are there?"

Lin Ye bowed and said, "The spy sneaked into the enemy camp last night, and the news came back this morning.

There are about 100,000 enemy troops, coming from several directions, intending to raid Tiandu!"

Chu Ze sneered: "A hundred thousand strong army, I want to see what they are capable of! Order the whole army to immediately strengthen alert and guard against enemy attacks. If any enemy troops approach, kill them without mercy!"

Lin Ye clasped his hands and said, "I obey your command!"

Inside Tiandu City, the morning light faded and dark clouds gradually gathered, seeming to indicate that a storm was coming.

The soldiers were lined up in neat rows, their swords and spears reflected the faint light, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the upcoming battlefield in the distance.

Qin Yunyun still stood beside him, looking at the gradually darkening sky, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the sky is different today, could it be..."

"Is there a change in the sky?" Chu Ze smiled and said calmly, "I know that Yunyun is very smart, but the weather is sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny, and war is unpredictable. This is just a natural change. The enemy is coming fiercely. No matter what the weather is like, it can't stop the blood from flowing like a river under my sword!"

When Qin Yunyun heard this, she pursed her lips and felt a little uneasy, but still said nothing.

At this time, Lu Bing came in with big strides, followed by several messengers, with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, the Xixia army is already fifty miles away, and the outpost cavalry has made sporadic contact. The enemy is fierce!"

Chu Ze waved his hand calmly: "I already knew it.

"Order the whole army to prepare for battle! If the enemy dares to invade my territory, let them know that Tiandu City is not a place they can attack at will!"

Lu Bing immediately accepted the order and bowed, saying, "I will pass the order!" Then he turned around, and the sound of powerful footsteps gradually faded away.

Soon, Guo Huai also rushed to the top of the city wall, with a hint of anxiety on his face, and said with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, I have dispatched elite troops to strengthen the defense lines everywhere, but the enemy has too many troops, and I am afraid that a long battle will not be beneficial.

I would like to ask if you need additional reinforcements?"

Chu Ze shook his head slightly, his eyes as cold as a knife: "I have 50,000 elite soldiers. Let alone 100,000 enemy troops, even if there are another 100,000, what do I have to fear? Just remember, Tiandu City must not be lost. In this battle, I will personally take charge and personally cut off the enemy's head!"

Seeing Chu Ze's determined expression, Guo Huai dared not say anything more and could only whisper: "Your Majesty is wise and invincible. I will obey your orders!" (End of this chapter)
