"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Xian quickly agreed.

The emperor has already said this much. If you still don’t agree, it would be ungrateful.

In front of the emperor, those who don't know how to appreciate favors usually don't have a good ending.

"Okay, we've watched the sunrise, it's time to go back to eat and get back to work."

Zhu Youxiao stood up and spoke in a very relaxed tone.

At this time, the east was already bright and the sun had already jumped out of the horizon.

The group went straight back and had dinner there.

After dinner, Zhu Youxiao met Yu Zigao and Qi Yuanbi.

Seeing the two of them coming up, Zhu Youxiao said directly, "I heard that you can't wait to go to the battle?"

No one expected that the emperor would actually say this.

Qi Yuanbi looked at his brother who was standing not far from the emperor with some helplessness, and the expression on his face was very melancholy.

We agreed to love each other as brothers, but in the blink of an eye you sold me out?

You are my brother!

Qi Yuangong stood there calmly, his gaze far away, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. "You're looking at me? Why are you looking at me?"

Qi Yuanbi withdrew his gaze, feeling helpless.

Yu Zigao, unconcerned, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we train here daily, receiving Your Majesty's money and rations, using the best ships and the finest equipment of the Ming Dynasty, yet we are unable to fight. The entire navy is deeply concerned. We are sorry for Your Majesty, and the officers and men are eager to fight. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive us."

Zhu Youxiao stood up, smiled, nodded, and said, "You are right. I am very pleased to hear you say so. However, those who understand me know that I am not an emperor who only listens to what others say. What I want to see is how well you do things. If you can't do things well, no matter how beautiful your words are, it will be useless."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Zigao took a step forward and said, "I wonder what Your Majesty would like to see?"

"So confident?" Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Then let's conduct an exercise and land on the beach. I'll decide the content of the exercise, how about that?"

"No problem." Yu Zigao quickly agreed, "I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are very ambitious. I hope your abilities are as strong as your ambition."

Of course, he couldn't admit defeat at this time. Yu Zigao said, "Your Majesty will know when you see it."

If the emperor wants to see you practice, then you must practice, and practice well and powerfully. You can't just admit defeat in front of the emperor and say, "We can't do it," right? Then what's the point of the emperor keeping you?

At this time, both Yu Zigao and Qi Yuanbi had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Youxiao's visit this time was not only to establish Tianjin as a prefecture, but more importantly to watch the military exercises.

I have spent so much money and invested so much energy in the Royal Navy. If nothing is accomplished, what is the point?

If things can be done well, then they can go to war. The next war may not be easy to fight, so we must be fully prepared.

If this exercise reveals any problems, such as insufficient firepower preparation, the Baigong Academy can study it carefully.

Zhu Youxiao attached too much importance to the Ming Dynasty's royal navy and always felt that its firepower was not sufficient.

Next, we started studying the exercises.

This was just a simple landing exercise, and Zhu Youxiao did not do anything too large-scale. It did not enhance the strength of the defending side very much.

First of all, they had warships outside the beach landing and positions on the land. Of course, the equipment was different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao wanted to see the foreign war, so this time the guards imitated foreign troops, and the target of the imitation was the Japanese army.

The Ming Dynasty didn't particularly understand the Japanese army, but that didn't matter. Even if the Ming didn't understand, others did. Ming's ally, Korea, had already requested to join the battle. And Zhu Youxiao was determined to unify the country.

The timing was just right. When we were preparing for the exercise, the Korean delegation arrived, led by Lee Seong-hee, the son of the Korean king.

Also traveling with them was Princess Hyomyeong, the only daughter of the King of Joseon, who was about to marry Zhu Youxiao, but her mother was not the Queen of Joseon.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect her to come, the internal struggle in Korea was too serious.

It was not easy for North Korea to release Princess Hyomyeong.
