After 50,000 soldiers loaded a lot of food on the shore, they followed Gan Ning to sea in a mighty way, but everyone was still puzzled about the destination they were going to. ←

"General, where are we going to go to sea this time?" Deng Xiang gradually showed his strength in the army, still overshadowing Hao Zhao, Linghu Shao and others, becoming the first brave general under Ganning's tent. The contribution of killing Cao De at that time made him suddenly become a general from the lieutenant of the Marine Corps' vanguard battalion, breaking the balance of the five lieutenant under Ganning's tent for the first time.

Gan Ning was looking at the sea with a telescope. On the one hand, he looked at the direction with a compass and said lightly to Deng Xiang: "Don't ask, don't ask, in short, I will take you to make contributions this time."

In the heart of the south side of the Yangtze River, the patrol ships of Wu were also in conflict. Seeing Gan Ning leading an army of 50,000 left Jiangdu Port, they immediately reported to the Hengjiang General Dong Xi on the shore.

After receiving the news, Dong Xi was restless and didn't know what Gan Ning wanted, so he immediately issued a preparation order, fearing that Gan Ning would launch a sudden attack on the Nan'an.

When Dong Xi came to Jiangxin on a boat, he could no longer see any shadow of Gan Ning's army, which made him falsely shocked. After asking about the situation, Dong Xi went ashore and wrote two letters, one sent someone to Jianye and the other sent someone to Chaisang.

The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the 50,000 navy troops in Ganning go down the river, which is quite convenient. Once they go out to sea, they raise their sails and head towards the northeast in a mighty way.

In the evening, after the sun subsided at sea level, Ganning ordered all navies to temporarily stop advancing. Forty large warships stopped at sea level, lined up in a row, stretching out across most sea miles.

"Beat the drum, and all the navy generals came to the flagship for a meeting!" Gan Ning came onto the deck and shouted.

"promise!"

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The powerful and extremely regular drum sounded, but the forty warships dropped their ships, then five people came down from the warships, and they rode the boats toward the flagship. In a short while, two hundred middle and senior generals from the navy gathered on Gan Ning's flagship and held a meeting in the flagship conference room.

As the number one figure in the navy, Gan Ning looked around the people present and said aloud: "Generals, how many years have it been since the founding of the Chinese Navy?"

"It's been eight years!"

"That's right! Eight years! Eight years have passed since we founded the navy in Shangjing eight years ago. Eight years have passed. You have been my good brothers. But we have experienced ups and downs in the past eight years. The navy has not been in scale at all in the first three years. In the past five years, the emperor has increased its construction of the navy, from the initial 10,000 to the current 200,000. This is a great development. You are my most elite subordinates. Where are the elites of the navy? On you, you are sharks at sea, and you are a wolf on land. So, this time the emperor has given us a secret mission. Do you have the confidence to complete the secret order assigned to us by the emperor?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The crowd was excited and all answered in unison.

Gan Ning nodded with satisfaction, then took out the secret letter Lin Nan wrote to him, and immediately read it: "Sacred Order!"

Two hundred officers stood up one after another. Navy officers with different characteristics saluted one after another, and then told and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

This is a unique method of the Navy, and it is also the point that differentiates the Marine Corps from any army. They have a very modern training mode. The salute is taught to them by Lin Nan himself. It simplifies some etiquette. Treating salute as the highest etiquette in the army will no longer be performed.

Gan Ning then held the secret letter and said lightly: "The Emperor asked us to occupy an island in the east, and told me that it was called Japan. Let us take all the Japanese people away and drive them to Liaodong, and let them dig coal and mining. After that, we established our own naval base on the Japanese land and set up Yingzhou. We are temporarily under the jurisdiction of our Marine Corps. This is a conquest, and this is also our mission. When we complete it, the women of Japan will be arrested and will be your wives. For your wife and for our Emperor, we will advance!"

"For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, move forward!"

The sixth year of China's China, on the first day of May.

The savage sun hangs above the imperial capital, spreading the golden sunshine throughout the palace. In the hall, all the civil and military officials stood on both sides. Lin Nantou sat on the dragon throne. After looking around, he shouted loudly: "Take Wei Qiutai to the palace."

"Take Wei Qiutai to the palace!" The warrior in front of the hall shouted loudly outside the hall.

After a while, Wei Qiutai led more than ten civil and military officials, including Mo Komo, Mo Kodo, and more than ten civil and military officials. As soon as they entered the hall, everyone knelt on the ground. Wei Qiutai even said in a low voice: "The criminal Wei Qiutai, pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of China."

"Wei Qiutai, do you know your guilt?" Lin Nan asked sternly.

"I know the crime, I know the crime, I know the crime, I am confused for a moment and believed the slander, but later I realized that when the Minister of War Wang arrived, I immediately surrendered without fighting. I only hope that the emperor can give me a favor and leave me a life." Wei Qiutai knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling. For the first time he came to the Central Plains from the northeast. He saw and heard along the way, and realized how powerful China was, which was not something that he could shake the small country of Fuyu. At the same time, he felt glad for himself, fortunately surrendered, otherwise, he would be afraid that the entire Fuyu would suffer a catastrophe.

Lin Nandao: "Wei Qiutai, you have always been in harmony with our country. In the past ten years, there has never been a war between the people of Fuyu and our China Kingdom. They have been communicating with trade and exchanged with each other in terms of culture and economy. I think of the friendship between the past, so I will spare your life. But death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be escaped. From then on, your Fuyu Kingdom will no longer exist as a vassal state of my China Kingdom, but will directly incorporate it into our China Kingdom. I will punish you little and remove your throne. Let's be a marquis of destiny."

Although Wei Qiutai was extremely reluctant, I had to obey him. He immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for not killing me, I am grateful."

Lin Nan said again: "Marquis of Rebirth, I see that you are old and can't stand this kind of bumps. From now on, you can stay in Luoyang to enjoy your old age. As for the people of Fuyu, I will also appoint other officials to manage it, so you don't have to worry."

Wei Qiutai was surprised. Lin Nan did this without a doubt to completely put him under house arrest. His ambitions were afraid that he would never be able to achieve in his life. In desperation, Wei Qiutai had to sigh heavily.

Lin Nan demoted Wei Qiutai to the Marquis of Rebirth, and appointed him as the scattered cavalry attendant, and sent someone to place him in Luoyang City, so he sent Wei Qiutai away.

Subsequently, Lin Nan appointed Mo Komo as the Minister of the Yellow Gate and Mo Koduo as the Chief Commander of the City Gate. The other civil and military officials brought by the Quntai were rewarded, which was equivalent to putting all the senior leaders of the Fuyu people under house arrest in Luoyang.

Later, Lin Nan rewarded Wang Wenjun, Lou Ban, Gongsun Kang, Ma Dai, Zhongli Mu, Yu Du, Gan Xiaoning and others who quelled the rebellion in Liaodong. He was named Wang Wenjun, Lou Ban was the first-class Count, Gongsun Kang, Ma Dai, Zhongli Mu, Yu Du and Gan Xiaoning were all first-class barons, and also awarded Gongsun Kang as the general of Du Liao, who was fully responsible for matters in the northeast, and appointed Zhongli Mu as the general of Dongyi. He was responsible for handling the matters of Dongyi, Yu Du as the general of Liao. Ma Dai and Gan Xiaoning all returned to the imperial capital with Wang Wenjun. Lin Nan also granted Ma Dai as the general of Hu Ben, and Gan Xiaoning as the general of the cavalry, so he stayed by his side to listen.

In addition, Lin Nan sent more than 20 civil servants headed by Jiang Gan to the old land of Fuyu people to manage Fuyu people and asked Gongsun Kang to assist. At this point, the last ethnic minority in the northeastern border of China was completely incorporated into the territory of China, and Fuyu Kingdom completely disappeared, while Fuyu existed as a nation of China.

After this incident, the issue of strengthening the military force in Northeast China was once again put on the agenda. The imperial edict ordered Lou Ban to lead the 50,000 Wuwan Tuqi, who suppressed the rebellion, to be the permanent military force.

For example, today, the next two points are divided, China and Wu are equally divided, but both countries know that the outbreak of war is only a matter of time and time. The difference is that who is unified with whom.

In mid-June, Ganning's navy officially arrived in Japan according to the instructions of the navigation chart. After more than a month of navigation, Ganning's navy also suffered some losses. Forty large warships encountered wind and waves on the sea, but five of them sank, and 6,000 soldiers were buried at the bottom of the sea, which also lost a lot of food. However, thankfully, Ganning's navy had better landed successfully in Japan and officially embarked on the journey to conquer Japan...

Due to the lack of information at sea, the news was not possible to be sent back to China, so the process of Gan Ning's war on the islands of Japan had not been able to reach Luoyang in written news. However, Japan is still a slave society now, and Gan Ning's navy is very powerful, so this is a war without any suspense, full of killing and blood.

At the same time, an agricultural competition was launched throughout the land of China. The people and the army actively devoted themselves to agriculture and began to make sufficient preparations for the final unification.

On the Wu side, Sun Ce believed Lin Nan's words and personally led half of the navy to occupy Yizhou and Zhuyazhou. However, when he made his first voyage, the ships were not suitable for sailing on the sea, so he almost wiped out the entire army. After returning to the shore, Sun Ce stepped up the improvement of shipbuilding technology and sent a fleet to cross the sea to capture Yizhou many times. Finally, after more than half a year of hard work, the first fleet of Wu's State finally arrived in Yizhou. However, it was attacked by the Gaoshan tribe, the native native Yizhou. The Wu soldiers were exhausted and often harassed, so they were forced to withdraw from Yizhou in the end.

In contrast, Zhuyazhou was easily occupied by the Wu Kingdom. Sun Ce sent troops to station in Zhuyazhou. At the same time, he once again led the navy to cross the sea to capture Yizhou. After arriving in Yizhou, he began to capture Yizhou for three years.

In March of the seventh year of China's Shenzhou, Gan Ning borrowed the power of gunpowder to formally conquer Japan and sent people to send the news to the imperial capital Luoyang.

After Lin Nan learned the news, he was very happy and immediately appointed Gan Ning as Duke Jinghai and as the second-class duke, becoming the second minister after Jia Xu to be named Duke.

Afterwards, Lin Nan began to migrate all the Japanese to the northeast with men as miners and women being brought to Xuzhou and Qingzhou for the local people, marrying Han people as wives and concubines. He also asked Gan Ning to establish a naval base on the islands of Japan, leaving it for later use...

……………………

Seven years later.

Western Regions, Dayuan Kingdom.

In Guishan City, the King of Dayuan led his ministers to kneel down to Lin Lin, who was sitting on the throne of the King of Dayuan, in Guishan City. The King of Dayuan was even more afraid of Lin Lin and shouted loudly: "The criminal minister has no eyes and does not recognize Mount Tai. He offended the prince's power. From then on, the criminal minister was willing to bring 480,000 people from Dayuan to the Kingdom of China, just to ask the prince to be extra kind and not to make things difficult for my people."

Lin Lin was tall and strong. He looked majestic with a golden armor on his body, and the dragon pattern on the armor also appeared vividly. There were a few gazes in his deep eyes, which made him look very majestic.

"Hmph! I have warned you that if you had led the crowd to surrender, how could you feel like a prisoner at this time? Now you know how to beg me? Why have you been there? Come and behead you and show me the public, and give those who do not accept me!" Lin Lin shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, don't do anything randomly. The King of Dayuan cannot be killed!" Guo Jia sat beside Lin Lin. When he heard that Lin Lin was going to kill the King of Dayuan, he immediately comforted him.

"Why can't you kill?" Lin Lin turned his head and looked at Guo Jia and asked.

Guo Jia said: "The King of Dayuan is not comparable to King Shanshan, and King of Kucha. King of Shanshan and King of Kucha are all tyrants. The people in the country want to kill them quickly, but the King of Dayuan is different. The King of Dayuan is deeply loved by the people. If they are killed, I am afraid that Dayuan will rebel again. Please think twice."

Although Lin Lin was only fourteen years old, he had been in the army for more than four years, and his military power was even more brave. Fang Tian's painting halberd was even more amazing, which was quite as majestic as Lu Bu at the end of the Han Dynasty. After four years of his military service, he started as an ordinary soldier. He always charged forward in every battle and killed the most enemies. He was promoted again and again with his military achievements. In the end, Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, and Pang De were shocked by him. In addition, he was a prince. The rest were even more afraid of Lin Lin. Later, Lin Nan appointed Lin as the general king for the contributions obtained by Lin Lin and served as the commander of the First Route Army in this Western Expedition.

Starting from the sixth year of China's Shenzhou, the northwest was only stable for three years. Three years later, the Kushan Empire located in Central Asia sent troops eastward to attack the 36 Western Regions that surrendered to China. The 36 Western Regions often were fences and swung left and right. Because China's control over the Western Regions was not strong enough, the Central and Western Regions countries were bewitched by the Kushan Empire and sent troops to harass China many times. For this reason, wars continued in the Western Regions.

However, since there was Wu in the southeast of China, since Sun Ce conquered Yizhou, relations between the two countries have declined sharply, and the navies of the two countries were even tense on the Yangtze River, and the atmosphere was extremely bad. Fortunately, although there were frictions between the two countries, they were resolved through diplomatic skills.

However, for Lin Nan, if he did not pacify the Wu Kingdom as soon as possible and complete the great cause of unification, he would not be able to truly use troops wholeheartedly to foreign countries. Therefore, since the ninth year of Shenzhou, Lin Nan actively deployed heavy troops in the southeast area, transferred Gan Ning back, occupied the Zhoushan Islands, established naval bases, expanded the troops to one million, and most of them were incorporated into the navy.

In the Western Regions, Lin Nan could only take a defensive position. In the past four years, China was attacked by the Western Regions coalition forces many times. Although they were all repelled, the Western Regions countries were supported by the Kushan Empire and continued to harass the empire's borders, which also gave Lin Nan a real headache.

Finally, Lin Nan, together with the Senate, the Privy Council and the Secretary of the Republic of China, decided to conquer the countries in the Western Regions first, and then go south to unify the Wu Kingdom. Because the relationship with the Wu Kingdom has not yet broken down, there will be no war for the time being. This is why China's large-scale counterattack against the Western Regions this year was a military operation.

The Chinese army had 300,000, and they were divided into three groups. The general of Tiger Wing Taishi Ci led an army of 100,000 to the Xianbei north and Sima Yi was the military advisor; the general of the Western Expedition Zhang Fei led an army of 100,000 to the southern route, conquered Yu, Shule and other countries, with Pang Tong as the military advisor; the army of the middle route was led by General Wang Linlin and Guo Jia was the military advisor, conquering Shanshan, Kucha, Dayuan and other countries. After that, the three armies all joined forces in Guishan City, Dayuan and discussed the resistance to the Kushan Empire.

Lin Lin obeyed Guo Jia's words and immediately said, "Since that's the case, then don't kill them and lock them up for the time being, how about it?"

Guo Jia nodded and said to Lin Lin: "That's all. Let's rest here now and wait for Taishi Ci and Zhang Fei's two armies to arrive."

A few days later, Zhang Fei led the Southern Army to Guishan City and met with Lin Lin successfully here. However, Taishi Ci, who was the Northern Army, failed to arrive.

Zhang Fei surrendered to China seven years ago. Lin Nan treated Zhang Fei as well as before and also valued Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, ordering Zhang Fei to recruit new soldiers alone and named him the general of the Western Expedition. He stayed in Luoyang for listening. It was not until this year that Lin Nan officially transferred Zhang Fei to the northwest to participate in the military use of the Western Regions, and asked him to lead an army of 100,000, so that Pang Tong could follow Zhang Fei and make suggestions sooner or later.

Zhang Fei went on the war for the first time and was indeed fortunate to be unwilling to be despised. He had no blood on his way, and he never lost a single soldier, which made Yu Yu and Shule surrender without fighting. Of course, this was also due to Yu Pang Tong's strategy, and Guan Ping also made a lot of contributions.

In the palace of the Dayuan King in Guishan City, Lin Lin personally met Zhang Fei and set up a banquet to warmly entertain Zhang Fei.

In terms of seniority, Lin Lin should call Zhang Fei the uncle, but after all, he is a royal family. He is also the general and king of China, and has a respectable status.

Therefore, Zhang Fei led Pang Tong and Guan Ping to visit Lin Lin first as soon as they entered the hall.

The different surnames of China were not allowed to be kings, and it has become a system. Those who have made contributions such as Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Guan Ning, and the top ten generals can only get the highest title of dukes. The duke is also the highest title of minister. Since the founding of China, there are only a few people who have been named dukes. Only Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, among which Jia Xu and Zhao Yun are first-class dukes, and were respectively awarded Duke Anguo and Duke Ding.

As Lin Nan's second son, Lin Lin was awarded the title of king, and there was only one of them in China. Therefore, his status was particularly respected. Because Lin Nan's eldest son Lin Qi had been dealing with relations with the Eastern Wu in the southeast area, his contributions were not as fast as Lin Lin's, so he was temporarily a second-class marquis, which was much different from the general Wang that Lin Lin was awarded.

However, whether it is Lin Qi or Lin Lin, the two have never met again since they separated at the age of five. So many years have passed, and the two brothers only communicate with each other in the situation of letters.

"General Zhang worked hard all the way. I knew General Zhang liked to drink, so I ordered someone to prepare this fine wine from the Western Regions. I also hope that General Zhang would drink it all the time today." Lin Lin picked up the wine glass and was not polite to face Zhang Fei. His whole body was full of domineering. Although he was still young, he had already shown everything.

Zhang Fei was in his prime, with bright eyes. He immediately picked up the wine bowl and said, "Thank you for the prince's good wine. I have quit drinking for many years and cannot drink it again. But the prince dared not to give him face, so he could only make it difficult. After drinking this bowl of wine, he could only drink this bowl."

After hearing Zhang Fei's words of quitting drinking, Lin Lin became suspicious and asked, "General Zhang, aren't you kidding me? I heard that you are addicted to alcohol, why did you tell me to quit drinking now?"

Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Mo Jiang has indeed quit drinking. Mo Jiang has not drunk a drop of wine for seven years. This is something that everyone in my army knows."

Lin Lin didn't believe it, so he immediately looked at Pang Tong and asked, "Mr. Pang, is General Zhang's words true?"

Pang Tong said: "Everything is true. I am following General Zhang. Over the past month, General Zhang has indeed not been drunk."

"My uncle has indeed quit drinking for many years. I dare not deceive the prince. Everyone in our army knows this, and even the emperor knows it." Guan Ping took a step forward and said with his fists.

Lin Lin said: "Since that's the case, General Zhang will use tea instead of bars, and I will not force myself. Eat more meat and drink less, and drinking too much will also harm your body. After eating and drinking for a while, the general will go down and rest first, and have a good rest for the troops, and wait for General Taishi to lead his army to arrive."

Zhang Fei put down the wine bowl and held it up again. Seeing that Lin Lin was young, he was very fair in his work, he drank the tea in one go. He thought to himself in his heart: "It is said that the general and the king are domineering and arrogant, but in my opinion, although this kid is young, he is still respectful and mature, and it may not be as rumored..."

As soon as Zhang Fei finished drinking tea, he came in from outside the hall and said breathlessly: "Report to the prince, I have received a secret report from General Tiger Wings, please check it out!"

The letter paper immediately appeared in Lin Lin's hands. Lin Lin didn't even look at it, and handed the letter paper to Guo Jia beside him and said, "I miss it."

Guo Jia immediately said loudly: "The General Wang personally opened his army, and the last general led an army of 100,000 to attack the Xianbei. However, the Xianbei people were numerous, and the last general underestimated the enemy too much, so he was lured into the enemy deep by the Xianbei people. Now he was surrounded by the Xianbei people in the hinterland of the Xianbei people. The last general was seriously injured, and he prayed that the General Wang could send troops to rescue immediately. The tiger-wing general Taishici wrote it himself..."

After hearing this, Lin Lin frowned immediately and shouted: "Wei Yan, you and General Patridge lead 50,000 troops here. If you encounter the army of the Kushan Empire, you will strengthen the walls and clear the fields and guard the city tightly. All the remaining troops will follow me and go to the Xianbei to support the Tiger Wing General!"

"promise!"

As soon as the order was issued, Lin Lin left the hall and led the generals to the schoolyard to order the troops and immediately set off the war. So, Lin Lin, Zhang Fei and other 150,000 troops all left Guishan City and headed towards the Xianbei Shanyu Courtyard.

Except for the 20,000 flying guards of Anita Partridge, the remaining 280,000 were cavalry, either riding horses or riding camels. In the vast wilderness of the Western Regions, they were really steadily, and each soldier carried his own food and tied it near the saddle. In this way, the food and grass were broken into pieces, reducing the concerns of food and grass being attacked, so the speed was very fast.
To be continued...
