This time, not only Jiang Jiuniang gave, but Ruozheng also gave.
Ruozheng used his professional knowledge to make many small gadgets that they could carry on their bodies for use in counterattacks, calls for help, or self-rescue. These gadgets were small, exquisite, and easy to carry, making them suitable for concealment.
"Wow, this is amazing! I never knew there was such a wonderful thing!"
Qin Jian looked at it with great delight, he couldn't have been happier.
He was relieved that Peng Yuan couldn't go to the battlefield with him this time, and he promised that she would definitely come back alive.
Without these things, he wouldn't have much confidence, but with these good things to support him, his confidence is off the charts.
"We still can't be careless. These can only be used as supplements, and we can't rely on them too much."
Jiang Jiuniang advised, and Peng Yuan nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield, so we must be careful."
If it weren't for taking care of her child, she would have gone to the battlefield too. Now she can only wait at home, and only she knows the anxiety in her heart.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Qin Jian smiled as he carefully packed his things away. After all, he was a father now, so he would naturally be more composed. He had to get back alive no matter what, and he couldn't let his wife and children wait in vain.
That night, Jiang Jiuniang nestled in Lu Baichuan's arms, making no attempt to hide her ambition: "After taking over Dongting this time, we can go and take over the island nation without delay. Ruozheng has improved the ships, making them able to withstand storms, which will make it much easier to go to the island nation."
Only by nipping all the restless ones in the bud can Bei Yan continue to develop and future generations live in peace and prosperity.
Lu Baichuan hadn't expected her to plan this way. He frowned and said, "Isn't this too hasty? The medical school will be completed by the end of the year. What if we're still out there and can't come back by then..."
"Then let's come back when it's completed."
In Jiang Jiuniang's opinion, this was not a difficult task.
"Once we've settled things here, I'll personally go to the Emperor to request an imperial decree to take to the border. Then the soldiers will obey orders."
Jiang Jiuniang really didn't want to waste her time on the battlefield. Only when the country was stable could she do what she loved and carry forward the medical school.
Lu Baichuan still had some objections, saying, "Most of our soldiers are from the north, and few of them know how to swim. The island nation is located by the sea, so the battle will be more difficult than we imagine."
Jiang Jiuniang was stunned for a moment; she had actually forgotten about this!
"What should we do then? Is it too late to recruit some soldiers from the south who can swim?"
Lu Baichuan smiled, patted her head, and said, "Even if we make it in time, the soldiers and generals are not familiar with each other and are not suitable for combat. In my opinion, we can find some people from the south who are good at swimming and incorporate them into the army to teach the soldiers. Those people can also play a very good role in the subsequent battles."
It's certainly unrealistic to form an army on its own, but it's quite easy to infiltrate elite troops into the ranks.
Jiang Jiuniang's brows immediately relaxed, and she smiled, "You really have a way with things. After you leave tomorrow, I'll go to the palace and ask the Emperor to arrange this matter as soon as possible. By the way, you still need to take the twin jade with you. We can use this to communicate, which is much faster than sending messages."
"I know."
Since discovering the use of the Twin Jade, the two have been using it to communicate when they are apart. They want to make the most of it and not let such a precious treasure go to waste.
The next day, the scene of the army leaving the city was spectacular. The emperor personally came out of the palace to see them off, said a series of words to boost morale, drank wine together, smashed bowls, and personally watched the army leave the city.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't rest at all; she went straight to the palace to tell them about attacking the island nation and finding talented young men from the south who were good at swimming.
The emperor hesitated greatly, saying, "I'm afraid the soldiers will complain!"
“The island nation is not far from Dongting. If we don’t go directly to the island nation, we will have to come back first and then set off again. The journey will be arduous and the supplies will be lost along the way. Once we start, we will eventually run out of food. I think we should press our advantage and pursue them. The soldiers are in high spirits and it will be easy to win the battle.”
Hearing what Jiang Jiuniang said, the emperor also felt that it made a lot of sense, but he still cautiously asked, "Is Madam confident that we will win this battle?"
"If the Emperor doesn't trust me, he should trust the soldiers of Beiyan."
Jiang Jiuniang was too lazy to answer such a meaningless question. She was the only person from another world who won the last battle, let alone now that she had Ruozheng and Zhuzhu. The small weapons that Ruozheng made were no joke.
Furthermore, their ship modifications are far more advanced than those of others, not to mention the experienced generals like Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian in command. If they still can't win, then they are truly outcasts of fate, and nothing can change their fate.
Seeing that she seemed about to roll her eyes, the emperor realized his words had been somewhat inappropriate. A little embarrassed, he touched his nose and said, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements. Will the chosen people travel with you?"
"No need. We should set off later and let those talented young men join the army ahead of time, so that the soldiers can learn to swim more quickly. That is the most important thing."
Just kidding, if I went with them, wouldn't I be unable to take the plane?
"In addition, more of the modified ships should be made as soon as possible, and their effects should be tested before use, so that the soldiers can use them with peace of mind. Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty."
Anyone else would not dare to speak to the emperor like that, but this person was Jiang Jiuniang. Not only was the emperor not angry, but he would also do as she instructed and try his best to get things done.
"Alright, are there any other requests? I'll have them arranged by myself."
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head: "That's all for now. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty. I'll go talk to the Empress and then I'll leave."
With that, she bowed to the emperor and turned to leave.
The emperor knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he immediately sent people to do it, ordering them to recruit shipbuilding craftsmen from all over the country to come to the capital to build ships, and to make sure that all the ships between the island nations were built.
Although construction had already begun after Ruozheng's transformation, due to the tight schedule, not many were built, and no water trials had been conducted, which worried the emperor.
I hadn't expected Jiang Jiuniang to go directly to Japan, otherwise things wouldn't be so tight. But Jiang Jiuniang is right. Taking advantage of the high morale to attack Japan will be twice as effective.
The thought of him becoming the shared emperor of both the Eastern Court and the Northern Yan filled him with overwhelming emotion.
Originally, he hadn't thought so much about it. He only wanted to do his job well within his responsibilities and ensure that the people of Beiyan were well-fed and clothed. However, Dongting was not honest and always offended Beiyan. They had tolerated it repeatedly, but they were not easy to bully. If he didn't defeat them this time, he wouldn't mind not being the emperor!
