After peeking for a while, Gong Yu went to Zhao Min's room.
At this time, Zhao Min had already fallen asleep, but after hearing the sound of the door, she woke up slowly.
If this had happened many years ago, when she was still the so-called Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, she would have subconsciously drawn the sword beside her pillow, but at this moment, she just glanced at Gong Yu with sleepy eyes.
Ever since she followed Zhang Wuji, she had an inexplicable sense of security and she no longer worried about anyone doing something bad to her.
To put it in a positive light, it was because she trusted Zhang Wuji and the women around him. To put it in a negative light, it was because she was already in a den of wolves and there was no point in worrying.
"Why are you in my room again?"
"The entire fleet is yours, why do you always want to squeeze in with me?"
Gong Yu said with a smile: "Sister Min'er, you are wrong. The fleet belongs to the country, not to me. Besides, isn't it good for me to come and see you?"
Zhao Min's hazy eyes became a little clearer again.
"Don't be so naughty here, I just want to have a good sleep now."
After taking off her shoes, Gong Yu jumped onto Zhao Min's bed: "Sister Min'er, please play with me for a while."
"His Majesty wanted me just now and was affectionate with me for a long time. Fortunately, I held myself back, but you know how that feels."
"Please, sister, please."
…
Zhao Min was speechless for a while, but Gong Yu refused to leave no matter what. She couldn't really hit her or scold her.
Therefore, Zhao Min had no choice but to compromise. After all, there was no better way to deal with a shameless person like Gong Yu.
…
Let’s talk about Zhang Wuji, who is enjoying his life happily.
But the Japanese side was already in a panic.
Although Hirohito was the emperor and had enjoyed things that ordinary people could not even imagine, in order to continue his enjoyment, he had to choose to protect and fight to the death with Zhang Wuji's Ming navy.
He really couldn't stay in the palace in Tokyo, so early the next morning after Yamamoto Ningji left, he rushed to the port of the Japanese fleet in a hurry.
He wanted to get the news of victory first.
But what he didn't expect was that a small-scale naval battle had already broken out here, and it seemed that his own fleet did not gain any advantage.
"Yamamoto, what's going on?"
"Why did we lose?"
Yamamoto hesitated for a moment and thought to himself, "Defeat? What does defeat mean? The virginity of the soldiers who died in the battle mostly sank to the bottom of the sea. As for the loss of fifty gunboats and several warships, he, Hirohito Hiroichi, would not send people to check them one by one. The war is imminent, and Yamamoto is sure that Hirohito Hiroichi will not make things difficult for himself."
Yamamoto said aloud: "Your Majesty, in today's naval battle, our Japanese navy did suffer a small defeat, but showing weakness to the enemy during the battle was naturally my strategy."
"Let the Ming fleet win a small victory first. Once the decisive battle begins, they will become arrogant and look down on our Great Japanese Navy because of their previous small victory. Then they will make a desperate bet, and I will wait for them to make a desperate bet, and then annihilate them completely in one battle."
Yamamoto said it with such confidence that it seemed as if what happened was exactly as he said.
In fact, Yamamoto also knew that his words were a bit far-fetched, but what could he do now? Today's incident had already caused the morale of the army to be low. It would be fine if they were defeated. It would be enough to know it in his heart, but he could not say it out loud.
But at this moment, Army Marshal Inoue Takeshi said sarcastically: "Yamamoto, you have a very bad conscience."
"You dare to lie in front of His Majesty. It's just a lie, but why are there so many loopholes? Do you really think our Majesty is a three-year-old child?"
"You suffered a small defeat in the battle and showed your weakness to the enemy. What are you thinking?"
"Are you using Kojima Man's life to test Zhang Wuji's fleet?"
It is indeed not an easy thing to conceal that Mitsuru Kojima died in battle, but who could have thought that Hirohito Hiroichi would suddenly appear here.
"This, this..."
Mitsuru Kojima was a naval admiral, just like Nanyun Chuuji. For a man like him, it wouldn't matter if he died in a brothel, but he died on the battlefield. Compared with Mitsuru Kojima's death, a few warships and dozens of gunboats were nothing.
But Kojima Mitsuru died so openly on the battlefield, and even his flagship was sunk. It's hard to say he simply fell into the water, right?
However, when Yamamoto was thinking over and over again, Hirohito Hiroichi said: "Okay, Yamamoto, it has already happened. I don't want to say anything more. Just think of the island as being full of people who fell into the water and died."
"But you, the Grand Admiral of the Navy, must be careful. This battle is related to the destiny of Japan. If you win, you will be my hero. If you lose, you'd better find a place to slit your own throat. If you dare to survive after losing the battle, I will dig up your family's ancestral grave."
After hearing this, Yamamoto's face turned pale. The fact that he could even say something like digging up his ancestors' graves showed that Hirohito had made up his mind.
"Your Majesty, I, Yamamoto, swear allegiance to you until death, and I will never decline death for you."
After hearing this, Hirohito couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Yamamoto, what I said just now was not to scare you, but this battle really concerns the destiny of the country. This battle is different from the 200,000 troops I sent to invade China a few years ago."
"Although all the people in the Army Department were wiped out last time, in the final analysis, our Japanese mainland did not suffer any losses. As long as the war does not spread to our mainland, there is a chance of turning everything around."
"But this time it's really different. If you lose the battle, the Ming army can land at any point in Japan. Without the deterrence of the navy, their support will be endless. It is possible that they can transport hundreds of thousands of troops to Japan within a month."
"Japan is not like the Ming Dynasty. Given its land area, after three or five major defeats, it will lose all its strategic buffer zones, which is basically equivalent to the destruction of the country."
"And now you are my greatest hope, and even the greatest hope of the entire Japan."
"I won't talk about your level of commanding combat, but I can't find anyone better than you."
"I hope you will take good care of yourself. If you win this battle, you will certainly be able to have gold, silver, beauties and other vulgar things. I will also build a shrine for you so that the people of Japan will still worship you and regard you as a god hundreds of years later."
