Cai Jing did not intend to hide anything from his niece, and nodded in response:
“My uncle does have this plan. After all, an old man who refuses to die is a thief.
Your Majesty would also be uneasy about allowing someone who has been in office for nearly twenty years to continue to hold this position.
Now the whole country is in a state of disrepair. Your Majesty has established official schools and built canals. All signs indicate that you want to reform the administration of officials.
It's time for the new generation to replace the old. If your uncle is still obsessed with this position, it will ruin your majesty's plans."
Cai Wenji didn't understand politics, but when she heard that it might ruin Ying Yuan's plans, her heart tightened and she quickly said:
"Please rest assured, uncle. Even if you are not in the court, your niece will speak well of the Cai family to His Majesty."
Hear the sound.
Cai Jing nodded and said, "As long as you have this intention, your uncle is already very satisfied.
As for the future of the Cai family, it all depends on whether these young people can live up to their expectations."
To be honest, if Cai Wenji had not become Concubine Jing, Cai Jing would not have chosen to retire in recent years.
With his energy, he can last at least four to five years.
"The court has been busy lately. Your Majesty is planning to use military force against Japan. The construction of the canal and the establishment of the official school are at a critical stage.
After this busy period, your uncle will invite your father to Xianyang, and then you and your daughter will have a good reunion."
Cai Jing said seriously.
Cai Wenji nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle."
...
Ying Yuan stayed in Xuan Zheng Hall until late at night.
Daji, with her slightly bulging belly, personally made a bowl of sweet porridge to soothe the mind and nourish the brain and brought it to him.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan frowned immediately, "It's so late, my beloved concubine, why are you here instead of going to have a good rest?"
Hearing this, Daji brought the sweet porridge to him and said bluntly, "It's okay, but your Majesty hasn't been resting well recently.
Your Majesty often says that state affairs are endless. If they are endless, why not deal with them tomorrow? You will ruin your health if you do this."
She thought that Ying Yuan was concentrating on handling state affairs.
Little did he know that he had been daydreaming all day, imagining how far Huo Guang would fight the battle against Japan.
Ying Yuan put the sweet porridge aside, took her in his arms, and said lovingly, "From now on, just let the servants do such small things.
Tell me, what would you do if you accidentally had a miscarriage?
Daji said helplessly, "My husband is still young, how can I be so fragile? Your Majesty, have you thought about what name to give my child if I give birth?"
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "I know this in my heart, so there is no need for my beloved concubine to worry about it."
Daji advised: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back to the palace and rest."
"Okay, let's go back to the palace."
Late that night.
Daji took a sip of the thick original milk.
......
Japanese country.
Bai Qi and Zheng Chenggong led an army of 100,000 to attack Kochi Castle in Japan.
According to their investigation, there are a total of 150,000 residents in the city.
It is considered a big city in Japan.
Previously, the daimyo who defended Shikoku Island was called Uesugi Kenshin.
Later, because of the favor of the previous emperor, this person went to Kanto to serve as a general.
Manages the entire Uesugi clan.
It can be said that although there are still 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers on Shikoku Island today, they are like a pile of loose sand and are vulnerable to any attack.
To be honest, when Bai Qi learned that Huo Guang wanted to divide his troops, he secretly thought that it would be difficult for him to lead the army alone.
After all, his prestige in the army is relatively low.
But I never expected that the opportunity would come like this.
Moreover, he was the main general, but Zheng Chenggong, who recaptured Chikan City in Yizhou, became his deputy general.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.
In fact, Huo Guang also saw him as a promising talent, and his potential in military command was far superior to Zheng Chenggong.
That's why he was given this opportunity.
In front of Kochi Castle.
Bai Qi personally supervised the entire army in attacking the city.
Zheng Chenggong advised: "General, siege is not a one-day job. This place is too close to the front line. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
General, you should return to the camp and wait until you hear the news of the siege before making any plans."
He is really good at water fights.
However, when facing this kind of siege battle or battle that breaks out on land, he is still not as good as Bai Qi.
"General Zheng is wrong. Our battle in Japan is not about the gains and losses of a city or a place, but about expanding the impact of the battle as much as possible.
There are over 100,000 people in Kochi City. If we can quickly capture this city, our army's triumphant return will not be far away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Chenggong's eyes widened instantly. He said tentatively in disbelief, "General, are you saying that all the over 100,000 civilians in Kochi City should be killed without a single one being spared?"
Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "Of course it is so, your Majesty's decree has made it very clear.
They have slaughtered nearly 300,000 of my Yizhou people, so my army will kill 600,000 of them, 6 million, 60 million!"
Zheng Chenggong frowned and said, "But if we really do this, what's the difference between our army and those Japanese pirates?"
After a pause, Bai Qi said seriously, "The difference is that the Japanese pirates are all beasts, and we want to teach these beasts a lesson so that they will not dare to kill a Qin person again in the future."
Zheng Chenggong didn't say anything, but his silence represented his attitude.
Bai Qi said earnestly, "General Zheng, you are a soldier of the Great Qin. As the Art of War says, a merciful army cannot be commanded.
