Glancing at Qi Yuanbi, Yu Zigao sneered and said, "You're still young and don't understand anything. Back then, the Japanese pirates caused such a scene. Do you think His Majesty didn't mind?"

"But Your Majesty wasn't born yet at that time, right?" Qi Yuanbi said helplessly.

"Who do you think the current emperor is?" Yu Zigao snorted coldly. "The current emperor is a man of great talent and strategy, ranking among the best emperors of ancient and modern times. How could such an emperor not have great ambitions?"

Whether it was the Japanese pirates during the Jiajing reign or the Liaodong War during the Wanli reign, the Ming Dynasty and Japan had always been at war, but the Ming Dynasty lacked national strength and was unable to destroy them.

"In the previous battle in Korea, the Ming Dynasty suffered a great loss. Nine generations of hatred can still be avenged, not to mention that Your Majesty is so talented and strategic, how could he not seek revenge? Therefore, this time, attacking Japan is inevitable, and this is the reason."

Qi Yuanbi curled his lips, feeling that Yu Zigao's words were a little unreliable.

Because Wanli's Liaodong Campaign sounded as if the Ming Dynasty did suffer a little loss and was even unable to continue advancing. The rest of the battles were fought by the Koreans.

However, Qi Yuanbi knew that although the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses in that war, the Japanese also suffered heavy losses.

After these years of fighting, it can be said that Japan has been beaten directly into retreat, and now it has no strength at all. Let alone fighting North Korea, the Japanese pirates have retreated to retreat at sea.

The powerful pirates in the sea are all from the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Wanli failed to defeat Japan and could not hold on in the later period was because he was fighting on three fronts.

The Wanli Emperor's three major expeditions were no mere talk. Of course, from the Ming's perspective, we suffered a loss this time. You dared to inflict such heavy losses on me? Retaliation is inevitable.

In a word, Japan not only refused to surrender, but also dared to resist. Such people must be killed.

However, after thinking about it, Qi Yuanbi threw away this messy idea.

What does this have to do with me?

You know, if the emperor wants to go to war and make use of their royal navy, then the opportunity will come.

If we go to war with Japan this time, we will have countless military achievements.

Thinking of this, it was hard not to be excited. Qi Yuanbi stood up, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Then we have to prepare well."

"Prepare for nothing!" Yu Zigao glared at him and said, "Are you planning to tell everyone that you already know His Majesty's plan, and that it was your second brother who told you? Do you still want to live? Do you want to take your second brother with you?"

"That's not the way to get yourself killed. We just need to understand it ourselves and not tell anyone. We just need to prepare a little in private so that when His Majesty asks about Japan, we won't be clueless."

"And it's not just Japan, we have to prepare for Korea as well. If His Majesty wants to kill two birds with one stone, we have to be ready. Besides that, we have to deal with those red-haired, green-eyed, or green-haired, red-eyed creatures on the sea. We'll take care of them all. If we don't like them, we'll just rob them all!"

"Well, Uncle Yu, why do I feel that your actions are a bit like those of a pirate?" Qi Yuanbi looked at Yu Zigao helplessly and said.

"That's the Ming Dynasty's sea!" Yu Zigao snorted coldly and said, "The Ming Dynasty had no way to stop it before, but now that we have our Royal Navy, how can we allow them to enter the Ming Dynasty's sea freely? Sooner or later, they will be destroyed!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Qi Yuanbi nodded, his heart beating a little faster.

Although he didn't know where Yu Zigao got such high aspirations, Qi Yuanbi also understood that if a war really broke out, the Ming Royal Navy would inevitably become the most envied army in the Ming Dynasty.

Who doesn’t like to fight and steal things?

Make money and achieve merit.

"Okay, go back and rest." Yu Zigao waved his hand and prepared to send people away.

Of course, this was just an explanation. After sending the person away, he would study it carefully. He wouldn't say there would be any major results, but he had to familiarize himself with it tonight.

"Okay, then I'll go." Qi Yuanbi agreed, stood up and walked out.

I'm really tired tonight, so I'll go back and rest and go to bed early.

After seeing Qi Yuanbi off, Yu Zigao returned to his room and began to study.

The next morning, as the sky gradually brightened, Zhu Youxiao got up.

He walked out of the room and took his men for a stroll along the coastline of the naval base, and finally found a good cliff to watch the sunrise.

Thinking about last night's sleep, Zhu Youxiao smiled.

Does this count as a night at the naval port?

It's a pity that no one can sing a song.

Glancing at Qi Yuangong standing behind him, Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile, "Did you see your brother yesterday?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Yuangong said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said indifferently, "You three brothers have all served me and are truly loyal. I cannot bear to see you separated from each other. If I don't allow you to meet and talk at this time, I would be being unkind."

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister. Moreover, Your Majesty has been so kind to us three brothers. We are where we are today because of your care and support. We could never repay you, even if we die."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "You're getting nicer and nicer. You deserve this. You've done a good job. You three brothers are all very good. Didn't your brother say anything to you last night?"
