Li Jinglong naturally understood these principles. The interests of the military merit group certainly needed to be taken seriously, as it was an important tool for the emperor to control military power and a crucial bargaining chip against the civil official group. Naturally, the military merit group could not be allowed to decline, and the emperor needed to continuously support it.

Besides these military merits that need to be valued and supported, the battlefield is a place of constant danger, and many soldiers from humble backgrounds can change their fate through military achievements. These people should not be ignored either, as they are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's strong military power.

Looking at Chang Mao, Zhu Yunying asked, "Uncle, is the preparation of provisions going smoothly?"

Chang Mao nodded repeatedly and said with absolute certainty, "Your Majesty can rest assured that the provisions have been prepared long ago, and the ships from Tianjinwei are ready to be transported to Goryeo as soon as the ice melts."

These are not winter supplies; they are provisions and weapons prepared for the decisive battle in the spring and summer. The Ming Dynasty clearly does not intend to continue to waste time on Goryeo and needs to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly, which naturally made Zhu Yunying even more satisfied and happy.

As long as these things proceed in an orderly manner, it naturally means that many things are under control.

This gave Zhu Yunying more confidence, and perhaps now he really needed to confirm some things. He didn't need to worry too much about the war, so he needed to consider the governance and arrangements after the war.

Besides needing a special channel to control the Busan Three Guards, Tsushima Island, and remotely control Japan, Zhu Yunying also needed to consider bestowing at least two princes upon Goryeo. This was also to better teach the unruly Jurchen tribes a lesson.

These are all important matters, and Zhu Yunying cannot afford to be careless.
