Chapter 411 Ding Wang Cheng Yu went out to fight, and Chu defended the capital
When Hanzhu got the news, Cheng Yu and Chuqing had already rode a horse and took Wu Cheng with him when he left.

"Did the Japanese pirates come again?" Hanzhu asked nervously.Hangzhou and Fujian are often harassed by Japanese pirates, and sometimes they come every year. Like the last time Ding Wang Chengyu was defeated, the Japanese pirates stopped for five or six years. It is very likely that the Japanese pirates came to invade again this time.

"Ma'am, it's an urgent report from eight hundred miles. Now, except for the few adults in the emperor's Xuanjin Palace, it is impossible for others to know about it." Chen Shuo said helplessly.

Hanzhu looked out the window worriedly.If they were really Japanese pirates, Ding Wang Chengyu had experience in fighting against Japanese pirates and was familiar with water warfare, the emperor would most likely send them there, unless it was not a war...

"Sister, don't worry, if there is anything, brother-in-law will definitely tell you later." Ningzhu hugged Brother Yuan and softly comforted her sister.

Hanzhu nodded, and took over the son who was nervous because he sensed that the adults had important things to do.Brother Yuan hugged his mother with attachment, as obedient as he could be.

After a while, Sixi reported back and forth, the luggage was loaded into the carriage, and the three of Hanzhuniang got into the carriage, worrying all the way.

In the palace, not only Chu Qing and Cheng Yu, but all the officials were announced into the palace, including the Shou Wang who had just lifted the ban.

This time Fujian was in a hurry, but it was not the Japanese pirates who came, but Dongping Wang Hu Ke, who was in charge of guarding Penghu Island opposite Fujian, rebelled.

"Your Majesty, Hu Ke's father, Hu Quan, had objections when he was the king of Dongping. He stayed dormant obediently because of the majesty of the emperor. Now that Hu Ke has been on the throne for three years, he has openly rebelled. I ask the emperor to send troops to suppress it immediately, so as to shock other border countries." Master Lu, the commander of the city soldiers and horses, reported loudly.

All civil and military officials agreed that King Dongping rebelled, and the suppression must be swift, otherwise the other vassal states that had long been on the verge of making a move might not do anything.

Emperor Mingde nodded, glanced around and said: "I want to send [-] troops to reinforce the Fujian Navy, dear friends, can anyone recommend it?"

"Father, my son is willing to lead the army to capture the rebels, so as to inspire me to be a great Liang Tianwei." Before he finished speaking, King Shou strode out of the line, with his head held high and his chest raised.In a small Penghu, Shou Wang believes that he can achieve success in no time, but he offended his father because he disrespected his aunt a few years ago, so he urgently needs to make contributions to restore his impression in the eyes of his father.

Emperor Mingde looked at his four sons, who were tall and straight and confident, and did not comment, but turned to Chu Qing, "Shou Wang invites you to fight, Chu Qing, do you think it is feasible as a minister of the Ministry of War?"

Chu Qing came out, lowered his eyes and said: "Back to the emperor, King Shou took the initiative to invite Ying without fear of a strong enemy. The courage is commendable, and the minister is very pleased. It's just that Penghu Island is located on the sea, and all of Hu Ke's sailors have been struggling in the sea since they were young. , taking advantage of the right time, place and people, even though we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our main beam, there are not many who are good at water warfare, so if we want to win a quick battle, we must choose generals who are familiar with water warfare and sea warfare."

"If I send you, do you dare to respond?" Emperor Mingde stared at him and said.

Chu Qing said in a loud voice: "As long as the emperor orders, even if the minister dares to go, it's just that the minister has never led a navy, and the naval battle is even more on paper. The minister is really not sure of victory."

"Your Majesty, there are two recommendations from my ministers." Mr. Zhang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came out and looked sideways at Ding Wang Cheng Yu, "His Royal Highness Ding and Mr. Cheng once defeated Japanese pirates in Fujian. Officers and soldiers are familiar with it, so going here will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Cheng Yu and King Ding looked at each other, and went out at the same time, begging for orders from Emperor Mingde, "My son (minister) is willing to lead the army to recover Penghu and capture the rebels and generals!"

Emperor Mingde preferred this pair of sons and nephews, and immediately agreed to play upon hearing the words, "Okay, since you volunteered, I promise you, I will organize the army today, and tomorrow morning I will personally do it for you!"

King Cheng Yuding immediately knelt down to thank him.

Not far away, Shou Wang secretly clenched his fists.Don't look at his father who treats them equally, every time something big happens, the first thing he thinks of is always his second son, if that's the case, don't blame him...

King Shou stared at the ground, hiding the hostility in his eyes.

The expedition needs to be dispatched by the Ministry of War. Chu Qing and King Cheng Yuding worked together until dusk fell, and finally they could go back. Chu Qing deliberately left a little later, waiting for his son-in-law to leave together.

"Have you sent someone to deliver a letter to Hanhan?" Chu Qing asked in a low voice as he rode on a horse in the dusk.The silly daughter has a deep affection for her cousin. Now that the husband and wife have to part ways, how sad is the daughter?

"I'll go back and tell her myself." Cheng Yu said calmly, his voice three minutes lower than usual.He didn't regret asking for an order to go to war, but he really couldn't bear her, felt guilty, and didn't even know how to face her tonight.

"You know more about sea battles than I do, so I won't say anything more. Don't worry about the capital. I will take the two of them back to the Marquis Mansion and keep their mother and child safe." Chu Qing said solemnly, usually hoping that his son-in-law would hide far away so as not to delay He dotes on his daughter and loves his grandson, but at the moment he has no intention of gloating.

Cheng Yu was full of his wife and son, so he didn't care to distinguish Chu Qing's thoughts, so he nodded his thanks and went straight to the palace without further delay.
