Chapter 723 The Credit Is Yours
Like most people, Zhang Zhiji is having a reunion dinner with his family.

As the top general of the Beijing camp, he hadn't personally led troops out for a long time.

But this battle is extraordinary, and His Majesty attaches even more importance to it than he once faced Jiannu.

Knowing that he has a heavy task to do, he didn't drink alcohol tonight. After simply chatting with his family, he returned to his study, made a cup of tea, and began to think about some details of tomorrow's departure.

"My lord, someone from the palace has come, saying that His Majesty wants to see you."

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

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

"Where is the man?"

"Go back to me, sir. I'm waiting outside the house."

"Order someone to prepare a car." Zhang Zhiji said. "Let me know, Madam."

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after, Zhang Zhiji came to Qianqing Palace and saw Zhu Youjian in ordinary clothes.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"No gift, sit down."

The two monarchs and ministers are quite familiar with each other, and they are not polite.

Zhu You ordered a bottle of drink for him, and he spoke directly.

"Have you made all arrangements at home?"

"Back to Your Majesty, arrangements have been made. But there is nothing special to arrange, and it is not the first expedition."

"That's true." Zhu Youjian nodded. "In this attack on Japan, we have maritime forces as the vanguard. You don't need to do anything in the early stage. But after landing, you have to brace yourself. The Japanese people are cunning and treacherous. You must be careful and don't believe any of their words. Anything. They will always be coy when they are weak, but if they get the slightest opportunity, they will show their fangs and bite you in the back. They are basically wolves that are not well-raised, you have to pay attention to this.

Not only that, but also to restrain one's subordinates, to act according to orders, not to make arbitrarily assertive opinions, let alone show mercy to these people.You have to keep this in mind. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Zhiji nodded yes, but felt a little strange.

His Majesty has said this more than once, why did he call himself over to talk about it when he was approaching the expedition.

I have long remembered, isn't it just to be more ruthless to them, kill what should be killed, and what should be buried, how simple is it?
"Haha, I'm a bit verbose."

As if he had guessed what Zhang Zhiji was thinking, Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"On this Mid-Autumn Festival, when thousands of families are reunited, His Majesty is still worried about state affairs. It is the blessing of the country and the people, not long-winded!"

"Haha, you." Zhu Youjian smiled and pointed at Zhang Zhiji. "Among the soldiers of the Beijing camp, many were born inland and don't know water. I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt to the sea. The medicine I ordered people to send the day before yesterday can relieve the symptoms of seasickness. You can distribute it yourself. Then..."

Zhu Youjian talked on and on, detailing everything, as long as he could think of it, he arranged everything.

Zhang Zhiji listened quietly, adding a few words from time to time.

The monarch and his ministers chatted until Zhang Zhiji left the palace until Haishi.

Silent all night.

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

By the time he arrived outside Desheng Gate in the imperial chariot, all the soldiers of the Beijing camp had assembled.

8 million people.

Standing quietly in the open space outside the city, bathed in the first ray of sunlight in the morning.

The team was neatly organized and the armor was bright. From a long distance, one could feel the chilling air coming from them. The chirping of insects and birds disappeared at this moment. They seemed to be disturbed by the chilling air and hid.

These are soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield. Good food and long-term uninterrupted training make their mental outlook look very excited.

The moment Zhu Youjian's imperial chariot stepped out of the Desheng Gate, all the soldiers knelt on one knee, and with the sound of armor colliding, kowtowed to their supreme emperor, His Majesty.

The uniform voice reverberated over the capital city, waking up the old birds in the nearby forest, as well as the sleeping babies in the houses inside and outside the city.

"All the generals are flat!"

Zhu Youjian's voice was transmitted through the sound system at the top of the city, and all the kneeling soldiers stood up according to his order, like a wave.

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

Zhu Youjian came to the temporary platform, looked around, and said loudly:

"I remember that the last time I sent you on an expedition was six years ago. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in a precarious situation. There were troubles caused by slaves outside the pass, and disasters continued inside the pass. Refugees were everywhere. The people were in dire straits, and rebellions occurred from time to time. In all of this, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Six years have passed now, and I dare not say that every commoner in Daming will live a life of luxury, but more and more people are getting rid of the torment of hunger.Some people say that I am a faint king, arbitrarily authorizing power.There are also people who say that I am a wise lord who appoints virtuous ministers.

No matter what others say, Ming Dynasty's territory is constantly expanding, exterminating the Jiannu, taking over Mongolia, recovering Taiwan, and occupying Luzon.Over the years, I have heard too many words of praise and flattery.It is said that I far surpass Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, and I am a well-deserved emperor throughout the ages!
But today, I want to tell you.These credits belong to you, not to me.

It is you who charged and fell into battle again and again on the battlefield to lay down this huge territory.

It is you who have practiced day and night, not afraid of cold and heat, so that you have developed a strong body and are not afraid of any powerful enemies.

It is you who, in the face of powerful enemies, are not afraid of death and go forward bravely, so that the people of our Ming Dynasty are not ravaged by foreign races.

Today, you will embark on the journey again, representing Daming, Zhen, and thousands of people, to fight on a new battlefield, to conquer the Wa country that was constantly provoking when Ming was weak.

I see you off, and I hope you return triumphantly.I wish each of you a triumphant return too.

Ming dynasty!mighty! "

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!!!"

The overwhelming voice sounded again, and the atmosphere had reached its peak.Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Zhiji who was on the side, and nodded to him.

Zhang Zhi understood and shouted loudly.

"Open up!"

The [-] soldiers left in an orderly manner, and Zhu Youjian stood on the high platform and watched everything.

The number of soldiers in the Beijing camp was maintained at around [-]. After the [-] soldiers left for the expedition, there were still [-] left behind.

With the current weapons and equipment and territory of Ming Dynasty, no one can capture the capital.

In other words, even if they could come outside the city, they would be easily repelled by the artillery and heavy machine guns deployed on the city wall.You don't even need to defend the city, just go out to fight.

But all this is impossible to happen.

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