Yuanwu's eighteenth year, February 21st.

At Yin o'clock in the morning, Guan Ning took a bath and changed clothes and got up. Lu Qiling combed His Majesty's hair. Her trembling hands betrayed her mood at this moment.

Your Majesty will personally fight against the rebellion, and her father is one of the rebel leaders.

As smart as she was, she was able to calmly escape Zhu Zhen's difficulties in such a critical situation at the time, but she still inevitably lost her bearings when facing her loved ones.

Lu Qiling believed that her father would not betray the imperial court. He may have had difficulties or a plan in doing so... but others may not necessarily think so.

The abbot of Daning became the King of Anping in the Southern Dynasty, which was a great irony to the court, and it was even more humiliating. It was better to die, at least he could still get a ranking and be known for his integrity.

Originally, the father and daughter were controversial and reviled when they came to Daning. Now that something like this happened, they are even more embarrassed to survive in Daning.

It doesn't matter what outsiders are like, the key is His Majesty's attitude...

Lu Qiling was about to speak but hesitated. She wanted to ask but didn't dare to say it.

"What? You are about to see your father, are you so excited?"

Guan Ning suddenly spoke, making Lu Qiling slightly startled. She couldn't help but stop combing her hand, and then her pretty face was covered with surprise.

She heard something different.

If she can see her father safely, doesn't this mean that his father is fine?

"You won't blame my father?"

"Not only is there no blame, but there are also many rewards!"

Guan Ning said calmly: "Your father is a man of great talent. He took advantage of the rebellion to help me get rid of the old clans and powerful people. I didn't gain any notoriety, and the court didn't face any resistance. Isn't it wonderful?"

Lu Qiling's beautiful eyes widened.

This was the first time His Majesty mentioned this matter to her. Only then did she know how deep the inside story was?

"So...you sent father there intentionally?"

Lu Qiling knew that the original task His Majesty gave her father was to inspect the world's granaries. The original intention was to inspect the grain collection bureaus established by the imperial court in Jianghuai and Huaihe during the war. That was why her father went to Jianghuai, which immediately triggered the Three Kings Rebellion in the Southern Dynasties...

Could it be said that this was all His Majesty’s foresight?

If this is really the case, then Your Majesty is really terrible.

"No."

Guan Ning seemed to know what Lu Qiling was thinking, and shook his head and said: "I just want to take advantage of the opportunity of checking the granary to rectify the atmosphere in Jianghuai and Huaizhou. My original intention is to focus on your father."

"But I don't want your father to find another way to do better..."

As they were about to set off, Guan Ning bluntly said that it was just to make Lu Qiling feel at ease.

Lu Qiling felt relieved, and her hands moved faster unconsciously...

If His Majesty were not about to go on an expedition, she wished she could serve His Majesty right now.

However, this month does not count. The Queen, the Imperial Concubine, and all the concubines are away from home. She can be regarded as the only one who enjoys the favor. She hopes that her belly will be better. Regardless of whether she is a man or a woman, it will be fine if she can have one...

At dawn, the crown prince led a hundred officials, and Pang Qingyun, the military commander of the Tiance Mansion, and the military attachés and generals were waiting outside the palace gate. They were about to escort His Majesty out of the city.

It was the same scene just a year ago.

The prince led his ministers in shouting.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

"The prince is at fault for state affairs."

"My son and I are walking on thin ice!"

Guan Hongzhao raised his head and saw the smile in his father's eyes.

Why do you think your father seems to be trying to succeed?

"I would like to thank all my dear friends for assisting the Crown Prince."

"I will do my best!"

"The conspiracy succeeded!"

Fei Tian, ​​who was bowing, thought to himself that His Majesty could not stay in the capital originally, but now that the prince can supervise the country and there are people in the capital, His Majesty can run around...

I'm afraid it will be even harder to see His Majesty when I go to the capital in the future.

After giving a few simple instructions, Guan Ning got on board the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Let's drive!"

“Let’s drive south!”

“Let’s drive south!”

The court officials, eunuchs, officials, and guards stood up and shouted, spreading far and wide...

The army sets off!

This personal expedition was led by the powerful army stationed in the Beijing camp, with a strength of 30,000.

The Xiongwu Army is a mixed army with multiple arms, including elite cavalry, infantry, chariots, and firearms battalions. The general is named Dou Ying, a veteran who has experienced countless battles.

After the military reform, the size of the firearms battalion will be expanded again. It will no longer be hidden behind the scenes, but will truly be put in front of the public and become a regular force. It will also join the mixed formation of all armies and will no longer be listed separately.

The artillery fires first, the cavalry rushes in to kill, and the musketeers finish last. This tactic is always unfavorable...

Daning will implement the strategy of elite troops and use advanced weapons and equipment and excellent tactics to crush the enemy and achieve victory.

This is the power of the dimension reduction attack of advanced thinking. If you want to meet me, you have to develop. But I am more advanced than you, so you have to go my way. If you go my way, you become my person.

…

This war may seem rushed, but in fact it has been prepared for a long time. Guan Ning had made arrangements during his foreign tour last year and had been preparing for a whole year.

The route of the march to Kanyu has also been decided long ago, and military supplies and supplies have been stored along the way for direct access.

This is not necessary to suppress the rebels in the Southern Dynasties, but the dispatch of a large army requires complete preparations.

This is an expedition as well as an exercise.

Tiance Mansion will formulate detailed plans before the war, and conduct sand table exercises to deduce all possible outcomes. The marching route will also be planned in advance, and military supplies will be stored at the same time...

Guan Ning always believes that the more prepared you are, the greater your chance of victory!

The advantage of this is to reduce the deployment of logistics supply and demand personnel as much as possible, saving this part of the labor...
