If the military surpasses more than one era and there will be no economic problems, then this country must be very warlike.

This is the case with the Chinese Empire. Before the Fusang War was over, the Empire had actually begun to consider the war with the Great Zhou.

When someone tentatively proposed to attack Jiangnan and end the split state of the Central Plains during the 1793-1994 annual conference season, the atmosphere at the conference quickly became hot.

Everyone - really everyone, is loudly promoting the view of attacking Jiangnan as soon as possible without any scruples. Everyone thinks that the Great Zhou is vulnerable, and the prosperity of Jiangnan is very attractive to everyone.

More importantly, if they kill the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will not be "traitors" or the Northern Dynasties. Everyone wants to become officials of a unified great empire, truly and comprehensively the officials of the first empire in the world!

Listening to the sounds surging in the venue and looking at people's faces that were excited when they thought of war, Xu Shiyang knew that people's feelings for the Great Zhou court had completely disappeared.

This is really good news.

Perhaps, the war of unity will not cause too much trauma to this country and nation - then it is indeed time to do this.

Now only one suitable excuse is needed.

...

On January 15, 1794, the eastern waters of Fuso.

The Navy's third-class sailing transport ship "Tengyingzhou" celebrated this year's Mid-Autumn Festival at the sea outside Edo Bay.

Because it is still in wartime, although the parties in Fuso have not fought on a large scale, confrontations and small-scale conflicts occur from time to time, and the navy now has to carry out heavy transportation tasks and blockade and surveillance on the coast of Fuso.

The task is so heavy that old sailing transport ships like "Dengyingzhou" are so busy that they are busy.

In the early morning, 15-year-old Imperial Navy Captain Xu Daixuan led a group of second-class sailors to carefully wipe the deck.

In fact, sailing transport ships like "Dengyingzhou" can last for a long time without being well maintained, but the Navy regulations still require that every ship be self-maintained when it is free and must not be slackened.

Therefore, although "Dengyingzhou" is an old ship that has been in service for 19 years in China only and has been on duty at sea for several months, just from the outside, she still looks like a new ship.

After the maintenance was completed, the sailor of "Dengyingzhou" wore a pair of white socks and walked back and forth on the deck with his hands behind his back. From time to time, he stopped to look at the soles of his feet, or walked to the side of the gun, and touched the gun chamber with his hands with white gloves.

If there is a black mark on the snow-white gloves and socks, then the officers and soldiers responsible for maintenance today will also be punished in addition to re-maintenance - usually carrying shells and tidying up sails and other heavy work.

After a long time, the sailor nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "I did a good job, I'll give you half an hour to rest!"

Hurry, salute, the gift is over.

"Captain Xu Daizhuo, come with me, the captain wants to see you."

"yes!"

The captain's room of each sailing warship is the first floor cabin under the stern deck of the ship, and "Dengyingzhou" is no exception.

The captain's room has a large space, and for a sailing warship, it is a bit luxuriously decorated.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

The door of the captain's room was open, and Xu Daizhuo saluted at the door.

"Come in."

The captain of Dengyingzhou was an old sailor in his forties. He had previously helped the local fortress owners run the Jiangnan route in Dengzhou. After the empire ruled Dengzhou, he was admitted to the Naval Military Academy and studied in the military academy for a long time.

Therefore, although he is only a lieutenant colonel transport captain, he has a bright future. He is expected to be promoted to colonel in a few years, or even look forward to the star within ten years.

However, this future general has always had a good attitude towards Xu Daizhuo - it is impossible to be bad, after all, he is the crown prince.

In fact, Xu Daizhuo suspected that he had been promoted from a second lieutenant of the sea school in six months to a third-level naval captain. The top five figures on the "Dengyingzhou" transport ship were because of everyone's own identity - perhaps even this suspicion was unnecessary. It was because of his identity as the crown prince.

"Captain, you have two months of vacation this year." The captain sat behind the mahogany desk and said in a chatty tone: "You can use this vacation."

"Why? Didn't you say that you are not allowed to take leave during the war?" Xu Daizhuo felt a little strange.

Military academy students do have special holidays and can choose when to rest in peacetime, but in wartime, it is certainly impossible to implement this right - otherwise they will become deserters.

"It is not that you are not allowed to take leave during the war, but the reasons for taking leave must be recognized by general officers and the Military Law Department." The lieutenant colonel said with a smile: "Captain, you do not have a deep understanding of military law."

"But I have no reason to ask for leave."

Xu Daizhuo never even asked for leave.

"Captain, sometimes, what you should do doesn't have much to do with what you want to do."

The captain took out a letter from his desk and handed it to Xu Daizhuo:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince asked you to return to your country immediately."

"What? My father?" Xu Daizhuo said in surprise: "He asked me to leave the front line?"

This seems unlikely. Xu Shiyang did not transfer him from the front line when the battle was at its most intense. Now it seems unnecessary to do so. After all, the Fusang fleet was already over, and it is safe for Xu Daizhuo to stay on the front line.

"You can read this letter first." The captain reminded.

Xu Daizhuo opened the letter with doubt.

Then I suddenly realized that it was...

News came from Jiangnan that Xu Daizhuo's grandfather, Wen and Fu Wen, who had served as two prime ministers, were seriously ill, and it was probably not long since they were in trouble.

As a grandson, Xu Daizhuo had to go to Wen's house in Jiangnan and return to Jiangnan together, including Wen Ji, the son of Wen Xianggong, and Xu Daizhuo's mother, Wen Yue, the Crown Princess of the Chinese Empire.

This is the most important filial piety among the Han people. As the Chinese, which boasts about the Han Empire, it is impossible to seize love. However, the attitude of the Great Zhou Dynasty toward China is not very friendly (the empire is the same with the Great Zhou court). Therefore, this trip to Jiangnan must have multiple security guarantees.

The Navy decided to directly draw a squadron and park on the coast of Lin'an. Once something happened, they would go up the river and forcefully enter Lin'an for rescue.

In addition, the Imperial Domestic Cabinet also contacted friendly people from Jiangnan, including Xu Shisong, Wen Zhong, Bao Zheng and others, and obtained a guarantee from them that they would ensure the absolute safety of their group.

Some gentry in Jiangnan who had economic relations with the empire also agreed to provide guarantees.

There is no problem with safety, so Xu Daizhuo has to set off as soon as possible, return to China to meet with his mother and uncle, and then take a boat to Jiangnan.
