My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 471 Bad News

Treasure ships are always huge and eye-catching. When the four escort ships went to the dock for repairs, Lu Su and a group of officials were already greeting them at the crossing bridge. First, Su Chen disembarked with the veterans. Then the Chinese civil and military officials came over with their families, carrying specialties purchased from Fenglai County in large and small bags.

"It seems that the generals and their families have gained a lot from this trip."

Lu Su was an honest man, he would say whatever he wanted in his heart. Anyway, he died once, and he was even more outspoken after he was resurrected. Zhou Yu, who walked to him, sighed and said with some envy: "When Xiao Qiao comes, I will take her to play everywhere!"

"One by one of you..." Lu Su looked at him with a somewhat stunned expression.

At this time, Su Chen spoke to Lu Bu and the others, asking them to take their families and go ahead. Then they went here to return to the Shipping Department with Lu Su and Zhou Yu. On the way, they talked about the Japanese pirates' ambush of the treasure ship.

"The Japanese are so bold, they must be eager to do it." After hearing the details, Lu Su was sweating in his heart. If the treasure ship was not prepared for fire prevention, if the treasure ship was ignited by the fire ship, the old events in Chibi would reappear.

"We are in the archipelago, with a narrow territory and a severe shortage of supplies. We can only survive by plundering. Now that they have Daxia to the west, they probably know in their hearts that we will no longer give them breathing space, so they are so impatient." Zhou Yu Leaning back on the chair, he chuckled and said, "But these Japanese people are so brave and not afraid of death, which really makes people look at them."

Su Chen put down the tea cup and laughed.

"The words of Governor Zhou are wrong. Only by defeating and slaughtering such an enemy will your blood boil!"

Afterwards, the three of them talked for a while. Gan Ning and Elsa came back from the dock. After greeting Su Chen, they also joined the discussion. What they were talking about was the Japanese ambush and their battle with Su Chen. The difference from the past.

Collecting this information, recording it, and then distributing it to the military generals has been Su Chen's strategy for a long time, so that all generals can understand the enemy's fighting style and how to guard against it.

After the short meeting ended, Su Chen also left Feiyungang and took the ancestral coffin back to Yanjing. Along the way, he also talked to the emperors in the carriage about his views on Japanese pirates.

"We haven't fought in a long time. The first battle in three years was against the Japanese. I have fought wars to destroy the country many times. I don't care about two more."

Su Chen put his hands on the armrests of the big tiger-skin chair. As the chariot swayed on the road, he raised his face slightly, looked at the sunshine coming from the west, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Allowing him to live for a few more years will only cause severe damage to maritime trade. The navy in Wuzhou will also be exhausted, and the people along the coast will waste their time growing food and fishing. Therefore, fighting the Japanese pirates will be profitable but useless. It's a harmful thing. The only disadvantage is that it may cause a lot of casualties. Your Majesty has also seen the madness of the Japanese pirates at sea a few days ago. If they enter the island to fight, no one can tell what they will do. Whatever happens, one for one, several for one, it’s possible!”

Li Shimin nodded, "The madness of the Japanese is really rare. They are proud to die, and they also want to drag the enemy to die together. Such soldiers can be called good soldiers in their hands, but it is a pity that they are on the opposite side."

"Then forge more thunderbolts and use firearms and crossbows to restrain them!" Zhu Di sat on the edge of the chariot and said with his legs dangling: "It is not worth it to let our soldiers be dragged to death by these 'monkeys'! "

At the top of the altar table, Qin Shihuang, who rarely came out, suddenly spoke from his spiritual throne.

"Changsheng, do you need Mr. Wu An to fight this battle?"

"Wu An-Jun, let's forget it. We only need hundreds of thousands to defeat a group of Japanese. Let Wu-An-Jun come, which is a bit overkill."

When Su Chen heard that he was going to be given Bai Qi, he was very moved by Wu Anjun, who was known as the 'God of Killing' and 'The Human Slaughter'. However, bringing him over to fight the Japanese was really making a fuss out of a molehill.

Soon after returning to Yanjing, the first thing he did was to put forward the agenda of besieging Japanese islands. All official affairs in the court prioritized attacking Japanese people.

Especially in the dockyard in Wuzhou, all the old warships will be sent for renovation and reinforcement. The Huya and Qinglong warships in Feiyun Port are also speeding up the process under the imperial edict, and at least twenty ships and fifteen ships will be built. A large cargo ship specially used to transport troops and war horses.

At the same time, a recruitment order for the navy was also issued. Priority was given to recruiting soldiers from various counties who were good at water and willing to fight at sea, followed by private soldiers, with a maximum recruitment limit of 30,000.

Just as everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Fang Xuejun suddenly came from the harem to the middle palace. Su Chen happened to have just left court to correct the memorial in the imperial study of the middle palace. "Why are you free to come here today?" Su Chen put down his writing and stood up to meet his wife. He took her hand to sit on the chair next to her, touched her bulging belly, and then looked at the door: "Where is Chen'er? I'm not with you. Come together?"

"Your Majesty, I have asked Chen'er to follow Duke Zheng to prepare the carriage first."

Fang Xuejun looked bad. After she sat down, she held Su Chen's hand tightly: "I have news from three days ago that I haven't told you yet. My father-in-law fell down..."

"fall down?"

Su Chen frowned, then took half a step back, "It's not serious, why don't I know?"

"My father-in-law won't let me." Fang Xuejun stood up and took Su Chen's hand, "The Fang family heard it, and someone sent it to me, saying that when I went out, I tripped over the threshold and threw my hand He broke his leg. As I know the news, His Majesty has just returned from Feiyungang and is busy with the campaign against Japanese pirates."

"Why are you saying it now?"

Su Chen was a little annoyed, raised his hand and nodded at his wife, then turned around and walked out. Outside, there was Li Wangqiu secretly peeking in. After Meng Zhaoyi moved to the Yanjing Palace three years ago, Su Chen took her in as his concubine.

Seeing Su Chenyun coming out with anger, Li Wangqiu quickly stepped aside and bowed low and said, "I have met Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

Su Chen raised it casually, passed her directly, and summoned Wu Zixun to quickly prepare the car. Wu Zixun, who didn't understand what was going on, saw the angry look on the emperor's face, didn't dare to ask more questions, and ran away in a hurry.

In less than half an hour, everything was ready for leaving the palace.

This time we returned to Ding'an County, there was no pomp, and we didn't take the slower Tiger Guard Camp with us. We only asked the Shenji Camp to follow us, as well as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zheng He. Their family members were the prince Su Chen and Fang Xue. Jun, with a big belly, let her stay in the palace and don't run around, so as to save you the anxiety of rushing on the road and the fetal gas.

As for the affairs of the imperial court, all matters were left to Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Wang Lang and others.

After the arrangements were made, he took the royal chariot, followed by two thousand Shenji battalions, and rushed back to Ding'an City under the stars. This is the place where he grew up, and he rarely comes back now.

On May 24th, the team passed through Changchuan County and entered the boundary of Ding'an. The outline of the city wall could be seen in the distance.

The dilapidated city in the past has become majestic and majestic after Xun Yu's management and repair. Because of the Longxing Land, the number of people settling here has increased several times compared to the past.

It is as big as the second capital city.

When he came back this time, he didn't notify anyone. When he arrived at the gate of the city, everyone in the Su family knew that the third son of the former Su family and the current emperor of Xia Kingdom was almost at the door.

For a time, the house was abuzz with excitement and busy preparations.

The old woman Xiao Wei even waved her cane and shouted at the servants to clean the house quickly. She also sent people on horseback to call her eldest son and second sons Su Yong and Su Lie back from the city.

In the mansion, the eldest sister-in-law Yin Suhuan and the second sister-in-law Hua Hongzhen were also busy decorating themselves. After all, they could not go to see the emperor without makeup.
