Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Sister Min'er, it seems that we usually say too many things against our conscience. What I said just now was really praising you, and every word was sincere. After all, you have been the emperor for several years, and your vision is always a little higher than ours who can only sleep with the young master."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo frowned and said, "Sister Queen, even if you want to praise Zhao Min, you can do so, but there is no need to belittle us all, right?"
"Are we really just going to sleep with this enemy?"
…
Amid the chattering of the women, the treasure ship slowly started moving. Zhang Wuji was in a good mood. Although the woman beside him was a little noisy, he was still in a good mood.
Seeing this, he felt proud again. Power, status, and surrounded by beautiful women. Even if they argued a little, so what? A little quarreling was the real home. This was a rare blessing.
…
On the other side, just as the Ming fleet was about to set sail again, Hirohito Koichi of Japan was also making intensive preparations for war.
In the Amaterasu Hall of the Imperial Palace of Japan, Hirohito Hiroichi suppressed his anger.
"Inoue, do you have anything to say?"
Army Marshal Inoue Takeshi said, "Your Majesty, we are fighting on home soil after all, with sufficient logistics. Even if the battle is unfavorable, the speed of replenishing troops will be several times that of the enemy. In the final analysis, the advantage is on my side. You just sit tight in the palace. As long as Zhang Wuji dares to come, I will make sure he never returns."
Hirohito Hiroichi sighed helplessly; "More than a month ago, Yamamoto Ningji said the same thing, but now he has died and no one knows where he is."
Inoue Yu said, "Your Majesty, Yamamoto Ningji is a waste."
"Hundreds of warships, sailors and soldiers together, a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people, and they are on the vast ocean. Even if he and his men are pigs, it is impossible for Zhang Wuji to catch so many people, right?"
"Yamamoto has betrayed the country and is the greatest sinner in Japan. He should be executed along with his entire clan."
Hirohito Hiroichi frowned and said, "Inoue, I am not going to talk to you about the issue of killing my nine clans, but I want to tell you how you can resist Zhang Wuji?"
"Don't forget, your old boss, Musashi Hideki, is still being bullied every day in Caishikou, and there's also that useless Navy Chief of Staff General Watanabe Zan. I really don't want to have you tied up there one day. Do you understand what I mean?"
Inoue Yu quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Those people are just damn trash. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."
Hirohito Hiroichi sighed again: "I have no other choice now. So tell me, how do you plan to defend against Zhang Wuji?"
Inoue Yu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is actually no particularly good way. We can only deal with the enemy with our troops and the water with our earth."
"How many ships does Zhang Wuji have? How many soldiers can he transport to our Great Japan at one time?"
"According to my estimation, there are probably only 30,000 or 40,000 of them at most. Moreover, it will take at least a month to travel from Japan to Ming Dynasty and back. We just need to concentrate our forces within this month to annihilate the enemy who lands first. As long as we win the first battle, the subsequent battles will be much easier."
…
I have to say, Inoue Yu's words actually make sense, but so what? Musashi Hideki and Yamamoto Neiji also made sense before them, but what happened to them?
Finally, Hirohito Hiroichi sighed several times before he said: "Inoue, now I can only place my hopes on you. Our great Japan has reached a critical moment of life and death. After all, we are fighting on our home ground. No matter what you want, I will satisfy you. And I have only one request for you, that is to stop Zhang Wuji and don't let the iron hoof of the Ming Dynasty directly crush my Amaterasu Palace."
"In this battle, you and your soldiers must fight to the death to serve the country. Strategy and tactics are indeed factors for victory, but courage is even more important."
"Five years ago, an army of 200,000 went on an expedition to Middle-earth. Except for a few bastards who came back, the rest of them all died there?"
"If a total of 200,000 people were willing to be loyal to the country and muster all their courage to fight the enemy, how could they be wiped out?"
"And the navy more than a month ago, after fighting to the end, they actually surrendered. Zhang Wuji stripped them of their clothes before letting them go. It was such a shame and humiliation. Why couldn't they fight to the death for their country? Why did they surrender?"
"With more than 300 warships, even if the war breaks out, it would be better to just crash into them and exchange lives one on one."
"There are so many people who disappoint me, Inoue. I don't want to see anyone surrender anymore. When the war with Zhang Wuji starts, I only hope to see the soldiers of the army fighting to the death. As long as you can stop Zhang Wuji, I will build a shrine for you. I will let you enjoy all the pleasures of this world while you are alive. Even after you die, I will let you be worshipped by the Japanese military and civilians for generations."
After hearing this, Inoue Yu naturally hurried to thank him, but then he thought that what Hirohito said now seemed to be exactly the same as what he had said to Yamamoto Ningji before. Inoue suddenly felt that the shrine was not a good thing. People are dead and they are dead. It seems that there is no need to worship it. As long as you are alive, you can enjoy yourself to the fullest.
…
After the court was dismissed, Inoue returned to his residence. He was in a complicated mood. Although he said some words of victory in front of Hirohito Koichi, he was actually a little unsure in his heart. After all, the examples of Musashi Hideki and Yamamoto Neiji were already there, and Inoue really didn't want to fall into their position.
At this moment, Inoue's servant came to him happily: "Marshal, the person has been brought here!"
After hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Inoue's face; "Hey, take me to see it."
A moment later, Inoue was led by the servant into a room where seven or eight beautiful girls were kneeling in a neat row.
Inoue Yu smiled and said, "Hey, raise your heads up."
The seven or eight girls immediately raised their heads. After Inoue Yu glanced at the girls, there was a hint of vulgarity in the smile on his face.
It turned out that these seven or eight girls were all the best in the family of the former Admiral of the Navy, Yamamoto Ningji, and now they have fallen into the hands of Inoue Yu.
