Chapter 89 Foreign ministers wish the admiral the first battle victory
In the early morning of October 24th, Xiao Ruxun went across the south of the Yangtze River to make preliminary preparations for the upcoming war. After arriving in Uiju City, he found the king of Joseon Li Yan and Liu Chenglong. The three entered a secret room and had a very secret discussion .

"What? Thirty days? General Xiao is finally planning to do something?"

Li Yan was inexplicably surprised, but Liu Chenglong looked embarrassed and said: "Admiral, maybe we shouldn't say it at this time, but we..."

Xiao Ruxun raised his hand to signal Liu Chenglong not to continue, and said: "The governor already knows that the decision to send troops to Pyongyang on October [-]th was decided after discussions with the Ministry of War and Mr. Song Jinglue, and it will not be changed. As for your road Whether the repairs have been completed, whether the warehouse is intact, has little to do with the outcome of the Battle of Pyongyang, and the remaining part is not enough to affect the overall situation."

Liu Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief, these days, he was really exhausted.

"But this does not mean that there is no need to repair it. Mr. Liu, Shang Wang, roads and warehouses must continue to be repaired, otherwise the Ming army will not be able to move forward. In a word, wherever the grain and grass can be transported, the Ming army will fight Wherever you go, if you can send food and grass to Wang Jing now, the governor can also hit Wang Jing now."

Xiao Ruxun left the words here.

Li Yan is happy and relaxed, but Liu Chenglong's burden is even heavier.

After repeatedly warning Li Yan not to tell this matter to those around him, Xiao Ruxun and Liu Chenglong resigned together.

On the way back to the official office, Liu Chenglong seemed to have something to say, Xiao Ruxun saw Liu Chenglong hesitated to speak, so he spoke first: "Mr. Liu, do you have anything else you want to say to Ben Du?"

Liu Chenglong was stunned for a moment, seeing Xiao Ruxun's normal expression, he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that the fact of transporting grain, grass and ordnance is complex and very difficult, so it's a bit laborious, and the admiral doesn't need to worry about it."

Xiao Ruxun smiled: "The Governor can remind you more than a month in advance. I have left enough time. If you are someone else, I am afraid that you will not have the heart. When the time comes, the frontline soldiers will fight bloody battles, but they will not be able to eat. I am really hungry. Those generals and soldiers are going to tear you apart and eat you! The governor is not joking, the starving soldiers can do anything. Although the governor has strict requirements to restrain military discipline, he can't restrain the starving eyes people."

"What the admiral said is true." Liu Chenglong said submissively: "The ministers will do everything possible to ensure the army's rations and supplies, so that wherever the army goes, the ration team will go there!"

"It's best." Xiao Ruxun nodded, walked a few more steps, stopped, and turned to look at Liu Chenglong who was a little astonished: "Mr. There is no need to do it, the governor will not say it, it is to save face for the king, and to leave room for our two countries to turn around, but if the existence of Li Jie leaks the action plan of our army, I will not give face to anyone, I will directly Murderer."

Liu Chenglong was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Admiral, please calm down! Admiral, please calm down! This matter... the foreign officials have only learned about it not long ago, so they dare not confirm it, but... but the foreign ministers The investigation is really underway, and the results will be available soon! Please, the admiral, don't make any noise!"

"Get up, I'm not the king, why do you kneel to me?" Xiao Ruxun knelt down and helped Liu Chenglong up: "Mr. Liu, you are one of the few capable ministers among the courtiers around the king. I don’t want to force you to be like this, but I reminded you several times overtly and secretly, and gave you several opportunities, but you didn’t do anything, let the spy jump up and down, and even came to me to inquire about the military aircraft, you really thought I was Is it a fool?"

When Liu Chenglong heard this, his legs went limp. If it wasn't for being supported by Xiao Ruxun, he might have collapsed on the ground.

"I have studied Zu Chengxun's report carefully, and sent people to investigate secretly after I came here. I have the evidence of Li Jie's collusion with the enemy. If the emperor of Ming knows about this, you should know it too. What will be the consequences? I don't care who is behind Li Jue, just remember that the Emperor Daming is behind me, and you, with my backing, replace him, but don't kill him. today!"

Liu Chenglong's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his lips were trembling constantly, it took him a while to calm down, and he looked at Xiao Ruxun.

"It's useful to keep this spy, replace him, and don't let him find out that he has been exposed."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Liu Chenglong coldly, Liu Chenglong touched the sweat on his forehead, and nodded in agreement.

"Has the preparation of your country's army, which is dispatched with the army, been completed?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Liu Chenglong's pale face, so he changed the topic to give him a chance to breathe.

"Oh, quasi... the preparations are complete!" Liu Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly replied: "This time, the monks and soldiers led by the eminent monk and the head of the Sixteen Schools of Eight Dao and Sixteen Schools will be sent to accompany the Heavenly Army. [-] and General Li Yi's [-] troops. Master Xiu Jing's subordinates are all monks and soldiers with high martial arts skills. Their combat effectiveness is quite strong. He will run away in battle and mess up his own position, and his military discipline is quite strict."

"Well, the monks are still very reliable." Xiao Ruxun nodded with satisfaction: "In the past, the Japanese riots in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, General Qi Jiguang and General Yu Dayou fought against the Japanese, there were also monks who were very active. They were in the temple and did not forget the country. Hugh Master Jing is worthy of being an eminent monk, I admire him very much, with this monk soldier and my Qi family army under my command, the Japanese invaders will not be able to gain any advantage in melee or far combat, this battle is sure to win."

"The foreign minister wishes the admiral a great victory in the first battle!"

Liu Chenglong bowed deeply.

Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand to support Liu Chenglong: "To put it bluntly, people are iron, and food is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. It depends on the governor, whether you can win the battle depends on you Liu Chenglong, if you can send the military equipment and food to the front line of the army in full, the governor will be able to win the battle, if you can’t send it, the governor will not sit still, this A final warning."

Liu Chenglong's mind was shocked, and he bowed again.

After Xiao Ruxun left, Liu Chenglong looked at the back of Xiao Ruxun leaving, unable to calm down for a long time, the power and influence of this young admiral general did not know why, it was so heavy, but it was not a sense of domineering, as if it was an inherent sense of oppression , I can't feel it normally, but once I feel it, it's like a big stone pressing on my chest and I can't breathe, it's really terrifying.

A master of restraint.

Liu Chenglong has no doubts about winning this battle.

On the evening of the 24th, Xiao Ruxun crossed the river north and returned, and ordered the crossing river swearing-in meeting to be held early tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the 25th, with the sound of [-] cannons, the beating of military drums, and the sound of drums and trumpets, a total of [-] soldiers of the Great Ming Eastern Expedition Army assembled according to the distribution of the left, middle, and right armies, and waited for the chief general Xiao Ruxun to review and eat The soldiers who had breakfast were full of energy and morale and lined up to the predetermined area, with flags flying, swords and guns everywhere, the military appearance was strict, and the military might was mighty.

After a while, the drums stopped, the bugles stopped, and a cavalry came rushing from the front of the army.

The main general of the army, Xiao Ruxun, took his own bodyguards to the stage and made his official debut.
