Wang Lin shook his head gently: "There is no doubt about the ability of good ministers to lead the army, but the overseas generals will mainly be people from Liangshan. Han Liangchen's prestige is not enough to overwhelm the generals, I think it is inappropriate."
As Wang Lin said this, he suddenly thought of someone.
Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi is now the chief general of one party, stationed in Jizhou, and is also one of the generals who assisted Yue Fei in resisting the Jin people.
When it comes to fame in the world, ten Han Liangchen are not as good as one Lu Junyi.
But to be honest, Wang Lin was still worried about Lu Junyi being alone overseas.
Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, Yan Qing immediately realized that the emperor once again had the idea of chasing a personal expedition, and quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if it is not possible, I am willing to go overseas according to the order to relieve your Majesty's worries."
Wang Lin laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Yi, you are by my side, commanding the Jin Yiwei, and you are known as a famous person in the government and the public. Wherever I am, there must be Yan Xiaoyi. You are my humerus, how can you be away from me?"
I intend to personally conquer overseas and pacify Japan, but you can rest assured that this time, I will not go secretly, I will make a big fanfare and announce to the world that I will go overseas to open up new territories, so that my country, Yanjiang, can be consolidated forever.
, so that future generations can have more land to thrive."
The expressions of Yan Qing, Yue Fei and Dai Zong all changed drastically.
Just as Yue Fei was about to step forward to remonstrate, the emperor said firmly: "This matter of Japan is no less important in my heart than the Kingdom of Jin. I must capture Japan and incorporate it into my territory of Great Yan!"
"Of course, this matter is of great importance, and I will consider it in the long term. Xiao Yi, you go to the Political Affairs Hall to announce that the five cabinet ministers Li Gang and Li Gang will come to the palace to discuss matters with me."
Yan Qing smiled bitterly, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to take the order and go to the political hall.
He knew the emperor's temper better than anyone else. Once Wang Lin decided something, no one could change it.
Yan Qing knew that the emperor's decision would definitely trigger collective opposition from both the government and the public, but since the emperor was now acting decisively, it would definitely come true in the end.
…
The overseas legions were defeated miserably at the hands of the Japanese. Tens of thousands of soldiers died overseas. Chao Gai, the Marquis of Zhenhai, died in battle and martyred his country. The good news soon shocked Yanjing.
However, before the government and the public had fully digested it, news came out that the emperor was about to go overseas to Japan again to avenge his hatred.
Of course, the biggest reaction was from the officials in the DPRK.
This time, almost everyone strongly opposed the emperor's insistence.
Li Gang and other five cabinet ministers led more than a hundred courtiers to kneel down outside Chaotian Gate, begging the emperor to change his mind and not to leave the capital easily, lest the country's foundation be shaken.
Wang Lin, Han Yan and the other girls climbed up to the Chaotianmen Palace Tower and looked around at the ministers who were kneeling and admonishing outside the palace gate. They looked calm and said nothing.
Han Yan couldn't help but persuade her softly: "Your Majesty has a body of thousands of dollars, why do you put yourself in danger so many times? In overseas military affairs, there should be many generals to share your worries and solve your problems, so why bother to do it yourself?"
From Han Yan down, all the women have spoken out to advise him.
Murong Wan'er was the only one who remained silent.
Wang Lin smiled calmly: "Why don't Wan'er persuade me?"
Murong Wan'er smiled slightly: "I know what is going on overseas. The Ryukyu Islands are vast and fertile, and can feed millions of people. And the Japanese islands are even more vast. These two places control the overseas fortresses. If
If we, Dayan, take it, we will not have any worries for thousands of years. If we lose this place, Dayan will have no overseas barrier.
Especially the Japanese pirates will invade our coast without stopping.
Therefore, I agree with your majesty’s grand plan to incorporate Japan into your territory. As for the imperial commander’s personal expedition, I also believe that your majesty is an eternal sage and will be protected by heaven, and there are fierce generals around you. Even if your majesty goes overseas, as long as he
If you don’t come to the battle formation in person, it’ll be no big deal.”
Murong Wan'er has traveled overseas many times and engaged in overseas trade. She understands the importance of the Japanese Islands more clearly than other women.
This was the first person around Wang Lin to support his personal expedition.
Wang Lin laughed loudly: "Wan'er knows my heart well. Yan'er, and you, I am not overjoyed, nor do I care about my safety, but in fact, only my imperial commander can personally conquer the country, in order to demonstrate the prestige of our country, Yan."
Only with military power can the soldiers be united and unite, thus establishing the empire in one fell swoop and laying a solid foundation for the country to be consolidated for the next hundred years.
I want to carve out a vast world for my sons. When the overseas wars are calmed down, you can also take a boat out to sea and go overseas to see and travel, so that you can know how big this world is."
When Wang Lin mentioned that he wanted to fight for future generations, all the girls fell silent and stopped speaking to persuade him.
The prince is the son of Han Yan. The larger the territory the emperor has established and the more stable the empire, it is naturally a great blessing for the prince. This kind of matter is related to the sensitive topic of the prince and the inheritance of Dayan Sheji. How can the girls dare to speak easily.
Moreover, the girls also know in their hearts that the emperor is telling the truth. Judging from the current situation, the number of princes the emperor will have in the future will not be less... The emperor continues to open up new territories, isn't it just so that their sons can have enfeoffed lands in the future?
?
Han Yan smiled bitterly and lowered her head slightly.
She knew that the objections of the ministers would be useless, and that women like herself in the harem had no way of influencing the emperor's decision-making.
Zheng Peng, the imperial censor who patrolled the palace, raised his head and saw the emperor and his concubines standing on the palace gate. He gritted his teeth, got up and ran forward for a few steps. When he got downstairs, he kowtowed heavily on the ground and said loudly: "I am willing to die to remonstrate with your majesty. The overseas soldiers are in danger.
, I, the Holy Emperor of Great Yan, with a body of ten thousand gold, will never come to the battle formation in person again!"
After saying this, Zheng Peng stood up, lifted up the hem of his robe, took off his official hat, and hit the stone lion on the side with his hood.
The expressions of Li Gang and other court officials changed drastically, and Han Yan and the other girls upstairs at the palace gate also exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Lin frowned. What he hated the most was these pedantic censors and officials who always wanted to give advice to death and engage in this kind of disguised trick of forcing the palace.
In an instant, Wang Lin let out a loud roar, and suddenly jumped up, jumping down from the palace gate tower that was more than ten feet high. Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, the emperor's figure had already passed by like lightning, and he was standing directly beside him.
Before Zheng Peng.
The emperor reached out and pressed Zheng Peng's shoulders.
Zheng Peng couldn't move and his face turned red with embarrassment.
"Zheng Peng, do you want to trap me in injustice? If you spill blood on the palace gate, how will I face the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the people of the world?"
Wang Lin gently extended his hand, and Zheng Peng stumbled back a few steps and sat down on the ground. Two guards in royal robes stepped forward to help him.
Wang Lin walked forward slowly, looked around at Li Gang and others and said calmly: "Let me be bold, this world is so big, there are not many people who can hurt me. Besides, although I will personally lead the expedition, I will not go to the battle formation in person.
I have thought about it, and the purpose of this personal expedition overseas is mainly to boost morale, appease the hearts of overseas subjects, and deter the Japanese barbarians.
At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, fought in the north and south, conquering great mountains and rivers for the Tang Dynasty. However, I asked myself that my cultural and military skills were not inferior to those of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that I couldn't do what Li Shimin could do?
I am personally conducting an overseas expedition this time, and I intend to have more than ten civil servants from the court choose to go with me. It is my intention that overseas operations in the future will be one of the important national policies of my country, Great Yan!"
