In fact, Zhou Zhiruo was not as calm as she looked. After all, Qianye had put the dagger on her neck. If Qianye had been a little tougher, or if her hand had shaken a little, her life would have been gone.
Cold sweat instantly covered her entire cheeks. She had not yet given birth to a child for Zhang Wuji, but she absolutely could not die like this. If she died like this, it would be too unfair.
At this moment, two soldiers on the treasure ship came up to her and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any way I can be of service to you?"
Zhou Zhiruo thought about it. She originally wanted to find a few people to take care of Qianye in the confinement room, but then she changed her mind and realized that doing such a thing would be too beneath her status. If that happened, her reputation would be ruined.
So she changed her words and said, "The Queen of Japan is so disgusting to look at. Can you starve her for three days without giving her any food?"
The soldier said quickly: "You are so capable. Not to mention starving her for three days, as long as Your Majesty says a word, I can do it even if you don't give her food for thirty days."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Thirty days? Wouldn't that mean she will starve to death? Forget it. I'll just give her a lecture today. We can talk about the rest later."
…
Zhou Zhiruo escaped safely, but she would not let anyone know what happened today. After all, it was too embarrassing to have the knife snatched from her hand by a Japanese woman. If her other sisters knew about this, they would probably laugh at her to death.
…
On the other side, under the leadership of Gong Yu, Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min and she came to a troop transport ship.
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Min'er, this is our troop transport ship. Each of these troop transport ships can carry more than 300 soldiers. Our Ming Navy currently has more than 100 such large ships. If all goes well, we can transport 40,000 soldiers to the Japanese territory at one time."
Zhang Wuji nodded: "Yu'er is thoughtful. If we do this, in about four times, we will be able to transport 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers to Japan."
After Zhang Wuji said this, he did not forget to glance at Zhao Min. Seeing this, Zhao Min said disdainfully: "You, my friend, underestimate me too much. It's just a small country. Gong Yu won so easily. How can I need so many people? In my opinion, if I have 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, I can put the emperor's head in front of you."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji quickly shook his head: "Absolutely not, Min'er, it's not that I don't trust you, I just want to be prepared. There are bound to be some unknowns when fighting in Japan. We can't rely entirely on transporting food and grass from the Ming Dynasty to Japan. We still have to rely on looting locally. Even if you only need 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, what about the logistics manpower?"
"If you recruit locally, would you dare to use those Japanese?"
"Moreover, there are no immortals in war. If you only bring 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, you will be short of manpower after fighting one or two major battles. Therefore, I think you must have at least 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers."
Zhao Min thought for a moment: "Maybe you are right, but who can guarantee that after I grit my teeth and win one or two battles, the Japanese will not surrender as a whole country?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Min'er, you may have forgotten what Longze said. There are still about 400,000 Japanese soldiers. With so many soldiers, how can we destroy them in one or two battles? So, no matter how difficult it is, you have to concentrate 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers. It's not a big deal to destroy a country, so it's okay to prepare more manpower."
Zhao Min was also helpless: "Okay, okay, it's up to you. Let's fight a war? For a commander, the more soldiers the better. Since you don't mind the wasted manpower and materials, why should I mind? Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is not mine."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji's face showed a hint of displeasure: "Min'er, what do you mean by this? What do you mean that the Ming Dynasty is not yours? Isn't this our country? Or have you always had the intention of restoring the Yuan Dynasty in your heart?"
After hearing this, Zhao Min was speechless: "My dear, I was just joking. Since ancient times, there has never been a destroyed dynasty restored. At most, there would be a Liu Xiu."
Zhang Wuji said: "I don't care. Anyway, you said the wrong thing. Once a person says something wrong, he must pay the price. Tonight, I will make sure you get the punishment you deserve."
After hearing this, Zhao Min was speechless; "You evil enemy, I knew that you must be thinking about such things in your heart. Let me tell you, you want to take advantage of me now, but there is no way. In the next few months, I will not sleep with you, even if you force me."
Zhang Wuji grinned wickedly and said, "If I force you, will you be able to resist? You have been keeping me hanging for too long. I want to give it a try. If I succeed in forcing you, then I will get what I want."
After hearing this, Zhao Min's face showed some anxiety; "You enemy, you can't treat me like this. What I am thinking about now is how to help you destroy that damn Japan, but what you are thinking about is how to eat me up completely. You, you can't bully people like this."
Looking at the expression on Zhao Min's face, Zhang Wuji felt helpless in his heart: "Min'er, you Mongolian women are really cruel-hearted. Well, I will continue to let you do as you please for a while, but after we destroy Japan, you have to promise me that you will give me another child."
Zhao Min was also speechless: "Actually, I don't like giving birth at all, especially the two or three months before giving birth. It's so uncomfortable. However, this is not something I can decide. It's my fault that I get pregnant all the time. It makes me so angry."
Gong Yu on the side smiled and said, "Sister Min'er, when you said this, did you consider Sister Zhou's feelings? Sister Zhou has always wanted to have a child of her own, but she just can't get pregnant. You don't know how much she envies you behind your back."
Zhao Min's face was full of disdain: "What is there to envy? She envies me, and I envy her too. It's just a child. If she wants one, I will give it to her. It just so happens that I don't like to serve those little brats."
After hearing this, Gong Yu said with some regret: "Sister Min'er, you just don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have. Children are our guarantee for the future. We still need to have many children to enjoy the blessings."
Zhao Min still had a look of disdain on her face, but then she turned her gaze to Zhang Wuji: "You enemy, did you hear everything? Since she said that children are the future guarantee for us women, I have always regarded you as my guarantee."
