The coastal navy is a weak link in the Wei army. He wanted his brother-in-law to ignore it, but he knew that this would not work and would cause problems.
There are a lot of people living along the coast, and Haizhou is close to the core of the Jiangnan region, so if something happens, it will be a big deal.
Even if you want to curb the country's destiny, you can't start from this aspect.
So, after a brief thought, he said directly: "There is no need to report this matter to me. Let Zhao Jiguang handle it himself. He is now in charge of the navy. The safety of the people in the coastal areas depends entirely on him. He knows what to do."
My brother-in-law is a famous general after all. He has been in the navy for the past few months and must have accumulated some experience.
Besides, even if we can’t fight a naval battle, we can always fight on land, right?
So I think there will be no problems in the coastal areas for the time being.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Wang Jin, who was standing next to him, bowed and turned to leave the dragon chariot.
It was obvious that Wei Yunyi's order was passed on to Song Gongwen, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, to handle it.
The army that had marched south returned to the capital by heading north. During this process, the generals of each division also returned to their bases along the way with their soldiers.
This means that as time goes by, the number of troops will become smaller and smaller, and the speed of returning to the capital will become faster and faster.
...
At this moment, in the southwest of Wei, outside the Wus area.
In a snowy mountain valley, a team of thousands of people was marching through the snow.
Some were riding on horses, some were walking, surrounding the carriages.
Without exception, all of them wore armor and furs. Furthermore, the carriages were not only meticulously crafted, but even the decorative patterns were gilded, giving them an extremely luxurious look.
Judging from their attire, they were obviously from Tiandu, and were now heading towards the border of Wei.
At this moment, in one of the luxurious carriages was the new monarch of Tiandu Kingdom, King Aqin III.
He was holding a big piece of meat and eating the milk wine, looking very leisurely.
But he was not the only one in the carriage.
There was another young man, but neither his appearance nor his attire resembled a Tiandu native. He was Chen Xuance, a junior minister of the Honglu Temple under the Ministry of Rites of the Great Wei, a diplomatic envoy to Tiandu and the first top scholar since the Tianqi Dynasty.
At this moment, Chen Xuance was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and his eyes became brighter as he continued to read.
This scene made King Aqin III next to him stunned and very curious.
In his impression, this envoy from Tiandu was an extremely intelligent and calm person. He could remain calm in the face of many things and would not have too much emotional ups and downs.
When he fought with the former King Ali, even when the situation was at its most unfavorable, the other party was always smiling.
It was for this reason that King Achin III was more confident in defeating him.
Now, he showed such an expression.
He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xuan Ce, what makes you so happy?"
"Your Majesty Hui Tiandu, this is the latest news about our Great Wei's southern expedition. We have made great progress. I am naturally happy for the court after seeing it." Chen Xuance said with a smile.
"Oh? What's the progress? Can you tell me about it?" Tiandu is different from Dawei. Although the ministers also call him Your Majesty, the monarch does not call himself "Zhen" but "Wu".
At this moment, Aqin III became interested. He had heard that the emperor of Wei was going to lead an expedition to the land of Baiyue in person.
Baiyue does not border Tiandu and is some distance away, but he knows very well that Baiyue is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is mountainous and water-rich, not a plain area. Not to mention cavalry, even if archers go in, they will be greatly restricted.
The strongest forces of the Wei Dynasty were the cavalry and archers. Of course, the infantry were also quite powerful.
Tian Du had experienced this before, but Aqin III knew that the Baiyue were a thorn in the side of the Central Plains. The successive dynasties of the Central Plains had failed to conquer them, and had even suffered great losses.
The reason why he was interested was very simple. From this aspect, we can see how strong the real Wei Dynasty was.
Moreover, it was the Emperor of Wei who led the army in person, so he could clearly know the other party's abilities and whether it was worth cooperating with him.
You know, after I took office, the domestic situation seemed stable, but that was only on the surface.
There are also many forces in secret that do not obey him.
However, at this time, he could not send troops to suppress the rebellion. After all, he had just fought a great war. If he continued, he would be overthrown. Therefore, it was very necessary to cooperate with the Wei Dynasty.
In this case, it is even more necessary to understand the other party's strength.
Of course, Aqin III also knew that if the other party did not answer, he would not ask any further questions.
But it was obvious that Chen Xuance would not hide this. He smiled and then said, "Of course. Our Great Wei Emperor personally led the expedition and achieved immediate success. The Baiyue Barbarian Lord led his army to surrender and wanted to join our Great Wei and become a part of our Great Wei. Our Great Wei Emperor readily agreed and appointed Meng Jue as the King of Baiyue."
At this point, the smile on his face became even wider. Chen Xuance knew that the reason why Aqin III asked this question was to understand the strength of the Great Wei.
Even if the other party already knew that the grassland battle was also a victory for Wei and understood the strength of Wei, it was only once.
Now, Your Majesty has personally led the expedition against the Baiyue, made the rulers of the Baiyue surrender, and conquered this place that no dynasty in history has conquered.
The shock to Aqin III was obviously greater.
