Just when Prince Zhu Hai was unlucky and was imprisoned in the clan's mansion, Zhu Jiang, the King of Qin, who was far away in Yangzhou, was excitedly waiting for the orders of Admiral Zhao Guodong.

Emperor Zhu Hongsan prepared to punish the Japanese pirates and sent the imperial edict to Zhao Guodong, the admiral of the Yangzhou War Zone, in the morning. The imperial edict was nothing, was it a war? It was the duty of a soldier. But selecting that regiment would become a big trouble.

Zhao Guodong had a total of 15 regiments in his hands, with a total of 45,000 troops. It is logical that it is not difficult to select three regiments. However, Yangzhou is the front line and is also responsible for the defensive tasks of the North Gate of the Capital, and the Qing army is opposite.

Although Hong Chengchou was beaten by the Ming army and retreated to Huai'an, he gathered another 50,000 or 60,000 people in nearly a year. What if all the powerful troops were sent out at this time and were attacked by the Qing Dynasty?

Zhao Guodong looked at Zhao Guoliang sitting next to him. Zhao Guoliang used to be Zhao Guodong's deputy and was considered an old man from the Second Division. Today, he was very happy to see his comrade-in-arms independent leader Zhao Guodong.

"Guoliang, Your Majesty asked you to lead three regiments to Japan. See how to choose this candidate!"

Although Zhao Guoliang's surname is Zhao, he has no relationship with Zhao Guodong. Zhao Guodong's hometown is Henan, and Zhao Guoliang is indeed a native of Huguang. When he joined the army, he was called Zhao Si with Zhao Guodong, so Emperor Zhu Hongsan changed their name to them, one was called Guodong and the other was called Guoliang.

Zhao Guoliang and Zhao Guodong have worked together for many years and are not seen yet. They bowed and said, "Sir, Yangzhou is so important. I want to lead two regiments of my Eighth Division, and then lead one regiment of the Tenth Division, and all the elite troops will be left to protect Yangzhou! I think this is good?"

Zhao Guodong was very satisfied with what Zhao Guoliang said. He now has 45,000 troops under his command. As Zhao Guodong's direct line, the second division is the most elite. The eighth division has not been formed for a long time and its combat effectiveness is good. As for the tenth division, it really makes Zhao Guodong a headache.

The guys from the 10th Division were originally the new affiliated army of the Qing Dynasty. They were captured during the war with the Ming army outside Nanjing. At that time, Zhu Hongsan lacked manpower, so he chose the strong ones and established the 10th Division. In the Ming Dynasty, these guys were a group of soldiers and stealing chickens and dogs. The harm was one of them. It would be too late to fight.

At that time, during the Battle of Yangzhou, the early siege was mainly the elites of the Second Division who were fighting. The 10th Division were picking up bargains from behind, and even the Yangzhou City was a disaster. Therefore, whether it was Zhao Guodong, who was the admiral or Zhang Bao, who was the commander of the 10th Division, he had a headache for these guys.

According to Zhao Guodong's intention, it would be best if Zhao Guoliang's three regiments were selected from the 10th Division, but Zhao Guoliang would definitely disagree. After all, Zhao Guoliang also wants to make achievements!

Now that Zhao Guoliang has chosen a regiment from the 10th Division, Zhao Guodong thought about it, it would be better to give all the waste to Zhao Guoliang and let them harm the Japanese.

"Guoliang, you know the virtues of the Tenth Division. It's better to bring all the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Tenth Division. There are 12,000 people in four regiments, and you won't be afraid of facing Japanese pirates!"

The 10th Division accepted a total of 6,000 surrendered troops from the Qing Dynasty, and formed two regiments, which was the first and second regiments mentioned just now. The remaining three regiments were all new recruits and were under training.

Zhao Guoliang knew what Zhao Guoliang was thinking, but he had no objection, because he followed him this time, the 12th Regiment of the Eighth Division, which was Zhao Guoliang's direct line, and the people from the Eighth Division suppressed him, and those guys from the Tenth Division could not make up for the truth.

"Mr. Admiral, I have no objection, but the imperial edict says that we should lead three groups, so it is not appropriate for us to lead four groups without authorization!"

"Guoliang, don't worry about this. Now you go and prepare first. I will convince you that you will not delay your war!"

Seeing that Zhao Guodong promised that Zhao Guoliang would not say anything, he nodded in agreement.

At this time, the guards outside the door came in and reported: "Report to the commander, Zhu Jiang, the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Division outside the door, asked for a meeting!"

Zhu Jiang was promoted to regiment commander after the Battle of Yangzhou. He was probably the fastest-growing in the army. He was promoted from a platoon leader to a senior officer in less than a year. But there was no way, I was awesome. Zhu Jiang also knew that he had improved a little faster, so after being promoted to regiment commander, he learned to be a battlefield commander, and now he has achieved some success.

When Zhao Guodong heard that Zhu Jiang was coming, he didn't know what this kid was going to do.

"Let him in!"

Because of his extensive movement in the army, Zhu Jiang had grown to 1.75 meters tall, and he was completely considered a big man in the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Jiang entered the house, he saluted Zhao Guodong. Zhao Guoliang then stood attentively and said, "Report, Zhu Jiang, the 5th Regiment of the Second Division, reported!"

Zhao Guodong looked at Zhu Jiang and asked, "What are you doing if you don't study hard?"

"Admiral, the last general heard that the court decided to go on an expedition to Japan. The last general wanted to ask for a battle to go on the expedition!"

Zhao Guodong laughed: "Haha, you kid want to go out for battle too? How are you studying?"

When Zhu Jiang heard Zhao Guodong teasing himself, he said with a blushing face and thick neck: "Admiral, you don't make such a joke. Didn't you know nothing back then? Didn't the Emperor say that only the battlefield can train qualified generals! So the last general wants to follow the army to fight this time, please allow the Admiral!"

Zhao Guodong pondered and didn't say anything. It was not that he was afraid of Zhu Jiang's accident on the battlefield. Now the Ming army is very powerful and can beat ten against the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, let alone those little Japanese dwarfs. Zhao Guodong was worried that he would take a boat from thousands of miles away from Japan. If there were any accidents on the vast sea, how could he explain to the emperor?

But seeing Zhu Jiang's enthusiasm for patience, Zhao Guodong was not good enough to let him go. Zhao Guodong pondered for a long time and said, "You can go, but the second division of the dispatch army will not send troops. The eighth division will send two regiments and the tenth division will send two regiments. If you want to go, you have to transfer from the second division to the tenth division. Are you willing?"

Zhu Jiang was stunned when he heard Zhao Guodong say this. He was the battalion commander of the 10th Division, but knowing what those guys were, Zhu Jiang couldn't help but hesitate in his heart when he asked him to return to the 10th Division.

When Zhao Guodong saw Zhu Jiang hesitating, he said happily: "There is only this method. If you don't want to go to the Tenth Division, you can't go to Japan!"

Zhao Guodong thought Zhu Jiang retreated, but he didn't know that Zhu Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Admiral, the last general will go to the 10th Division!"

Zhao Guodong was surprised to hear Zhu Jiang agreeing. You must know that the Second Division is an elite, and it is first-class in terms of weapons, equipment and personnel quality. It has never been transferred from a miscellaneous unit to an elite unit. I have never heard of anyone trying to transfer from an elite unit to a miscellaneous unit, let alone a moderate transfer.

"Zhu Jiang, you can hear it clearly. Going to the Tenth Division is not about upgrading, but about leveling!"

"The last general knows that as long as he can follow the army to fight, he will be demoted to the last general!"

Zhao Guodong didn't expect that Zhu Jiang's attitude was so firm, so he had no choice but to agree to Zhu Jiang's request.

Zhao Guoliang looked at Zhu Jiang's figure and said, "Sir, it's probably inappropriate for the King of Qin to follow us! We are thousands of miles away from Japan. I'm sorry for your kindness when something happens on the vast sea!"

"Guoliang, I also know that I originally wanted this kid to give up, but he didn't know it would be difficult. Now I scratch my head, what should I do?"

Zhao Guoliang thought for a while and said, "Sir, do you think this is good? Anyway, the transfer of the regiment commander level must pass through the Military Affairs Office. Why not give Your Majesty a letter to explain the situation in detail? Please ask Your Majesty to decide?"

Zhao Guodong nodded: "That's all we can do!"

After the two discussed, Zhao Guoliang began to prepare personnel and materials. Zhao Guodong wrote a letter to the emperor to explain the situation and believed that it would be better to go to four regiments during the expedition. At the same time, he also mentioned Zhu Jiang's matter and asked the emperor to agree.

After writing the memorial, Zhao Guodong went to the Governor's Office in Yangzhou City. After all, Ma Jiyuan was still the nominal commander-in-chief of the Yangzhou War Zone, and he didn't know if he could say something wrong.

After hearing Zhao Guodong's words, Ma Jiyuan refused to comment. He was a civil servant and had no idea about how to fight.

"Admiral Zhao, although the war with the Qing Dynasty has come to an end, I don't know when the fight will start again. Can the safety of Yangzhou be guaranteed to be transferred to 10,000 people now?"

As the governor of Liangjiang, Ma Jiyuan naturally did not want to lose Yangzhou again, so he asked this question.

"Please rest assured by the Governor. This last general also thought of this. Although Zhao Guoliang took away 12,000 people this time, our elite second division is still there. In addition to the remaining three regiments of the Eighth Division, it is no problem to ensure the safety of Yangzhou!"

When Ma Jiyuan saw that Zhao Guodong was clear, he didn't say anything. The emperor had ordered that he, the Governor of Liangjiang, could only take charge of the local inspection department, and no other troops could control it. Since Zhao Guodong said that, Ma Jiyuan had no choice.

In this way, the plan for expedition to Japan was initially decided, and the next step was to send the plan to the Nanjing Military Affairs Office for approval.

After the plan arrived in Nanjing, Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhao Guodong was right. Although Japan is in the era of separatist rule by princes, it is still a country after all, so it is better to be more secure, so Zhu Hongsan agreed to Zhao Guodong's plan.

Seeing the emperor's agreement, Zhang Huangyan said on the side: "Your Majesty, Admiral Zhao has another order to transfer Qin King Zhu Jiang into the Eighth Division, serve as the commander of the first regiment, and follow Zhao Guoliang to Japan."

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "I know this. Zhao Guodong said it in his letter. What is my attitude!"

"Your Majesty, Japan is thousands of miles away. What if something happens to you..."

Zhu Hongsan shook his hand: "Xuanzhuo, when the child is old, he has his own ideas. My father can only help them achieve their wishes! He chose to join the army by himself, and he had to finish the cannon he had made with tears in his mind!"

Zhang Huangyan didn't know what it meant to have sex, but he had been with the emperor for a long time and had become accustomed to the emperor's nonsense. It seemed that the emperor had agreed to the Qin King to go to war with the army.
