Yang Peng then put forward some temporary arrangements on major military and political matters for everyone to vote on. Including the deployment of the army, the selection of governors of Tubo, Dali, Bagan, Dhaka, etc., and the war against the Japanese.

Regarding the deployment of the army: Yang Yanzhao continues to guard the Hexi Corridor and Ningxia area. The 100,000 Volcano Army under his command remains unchanged. The 40,000 Plateau Army led by Yang Gui, Yang Dezheng, and Yang Xin guard Tubo. The defense of Tubo is under the jurisdiction of Yang Yanzhao as the general manager of the Hexi March. ; The Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Army Corps, the Hanzhong Army, and one hundred thousand directly affiliated army officers under Duan Zhixian are stationed in Dhaka, Dali, and Bagan, the newly incorporated lands in the southwest; the Ninth Army Corps moves to the Sichuan region , as the general reserve force in the northwest and southwest directions; the first army, the second army, and part of the third army stayed in Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. The position of Yanyun Marching Manager was still Yang Jiumei, and the Xuanjia Army was transferred back to Bianliang; The 100,000 troops of the directly affiliated legion, as well as the 50,000 trapping troops, 50,000 breaking front troops, and 20,000 Khitan troops of the directly affiliated legion, a total of 220,000 troops and horses will continue to guard Datong Fu Road. Gao Hu will replace Liu Zhiliang as the commander of Datong. The general manager of Fulu March is in charge of the military affairs of Datong Fulu.

Next came the arrangements for the Japanese war: the main force of the navy was transferred to the Hangzhou area, and Liu Zhiliang led the 30,000 elite troops of the Third Army to Hangzhou. At the same time, the military governments in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian mobilized military troops.

After discussing military issues, it was time to make personnel arrangements for some government officials. Previously, Yang Peng temporarily assigned the Dali area to Sichuan and let Yang Guihua manage it. However, adjustments were made at the annual meeting. Dali was no longer under the management of Yang Guihua, the governor of Sichuan. Instead, it established a new area together with Bagan and Dhaka. The Governor of the Southwest appointed Zhang Xiaochun as the Governor of the Southwest; Tubo was placed under the jurisdiction of Yang Guihua, the Governor of Sichuan.

In addition to voting on these matters, the conference also voted on matters such as national road planning and construction, and the establishment of investment departments.

The meeting lasted from morning to noon, and all major matters were completed. Seeing that it was noon, Yang Peng ordered the kitchen to serve food and wine. Everyone drank and chatted in the main hall, talking about everything, but no one dared to be too presumptuous due to the presence of the ladies.

That night, Yang Peng, Shi Liancheng, Duan Zhixian and other brothers changed into casual clothes and went to Fanlou to drink. A few grown men were drinking wine from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat in a private room, chatting and yelling at each other. It was so enjoyable! Men are like this, they need to leave their wives and children once in a while to relax completely.

Unconsciously, several people were a little drunk. Duan Zhixian walked to the window, unzipped his pants, and started peeing outside from upstairs. People outside were shocked and shouted and cursed, but Duan Zhixian laughed proudly and then fell to the floor with a plop. Yang Peng came over, slapped Duan Zhixian's bald head, and laughed and scolded: "You are a drunken monk, you are so shameless!" Duan Zhixian laughed and said: "I have never practiced good deeds in my life, I only like to kill people and set things on fire! Duan Zhixian, Duan Zhixian, Rising from the green forest, with two flaming eyes and a murderous heart!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Shi Liancheng raised his wine bowl and said loudly: "Have fun! Come on, let's have another bowl of wine!" Everyone filled the bowl with wine, drank it in one gulp, and burst into laughter. At this time, the sky was full of fireworks outside the city, and the night seemed like daylight, with colorful lights; cheers and shouts came one after another, resounding throughout the night sky in Bianliang. …

In the early hours of the morning, although the city was much quieter, it was still very lively. Many people had been partying all night and were still not satisfied. Such joy had never happened before. In the past, under the suppression of imperial power and the perverted control of Confucianism, who could be so revelry? In fact, in just a few decades of life, we have made up so many rules and regulations to torment people. It is really a psychological abnormality. If we don't have a good time, this life will be a waste of time!

Han Bing and others led the secret guards and Feifeng female guards to Fan Tower. Several imperial concubines were led by the person in charge of Fan Tower to the room where Yang Peng and the others were drinking. I saw cups and plates on the table in a mess, several grown men lying on the floor in a mess, intoxicated in their dreams. Duan Zhixian's huge snoring echoed in the room, which seemed a bit harsh.

Han Bing and others were both funny and angry, so they hurried over and helped Yang Peng up. Han Bing said to a secret guard captain: "Take a few people and send all the generals back." The secret guard promised, and immediately helped Duan Zhixian, Shi Liancheng and others up and walked out. …

Yang Peng woke up from his sleep and saw the sun shining through the window and shining on his face. For a moment, the golden light flickered and he couldn't see anything. After a while, his vision gradually recovered, and the exquisite furniture of the palace came into view. He was stunned, smiled bitterly, and murmured: "I was just dreaming after doing this for a long time!" It turned out that he had just dreamed that he and his brothers in the army were performing a mission in the wild, and the sound of a flintlock gun suddenly rang out, and he was shot. He fell to the ground and then woke up.

He sat up and turned around the screen. Seeing this, the palace maids guarding outside the screen quickly greeted outside: "Your Majesty, get up!" A busy sound immediately came from inside and outside the originally quiet palace, and then the door opened, and several palace maids were carrying basins, cups, towels, And things like toothpaste for cleaning teeth came in. Yang Peng finished washing up under the waiters of the palace ladies, and then dressed up under the waiters of the two palace ladies. At the same time, several palace maids came in with exquisite breakfasts and placed them on the round table. One of the palace maids picked a little from each food and ate it, and another palace maid turned an hourglass upside down.

Yang Peng walked to the round table and sat down. When all the sand in the hourglass was gone, Yang Peng began to eat and drink. While eating, he asked, "What are you ladies doing?"

The palace maid who tasted the food said: "The ladies are all playing and guessing lantern riddles in the back garden, while Empress Zhao and other ladies have gone back to the two houses to visit relatives."

Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Is Liu Zhiliang here?"

"General Manager Liu has been waiting in the back hall early in the morning."

Yang Peng smiled, finished his breakfast in a few moments, got up and went to the back hall.

His eyes turned to the Song Palace. After the fall of Zhao and Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng, the Eighth Prince, had his imperial title removed and was divided into King of Song and Duke of Song, and was placed in the palace of Song King. Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yanyun's Zhaoyi Zhao Lihua came to the Song Dynasty Prince's residence to visit his elder brother and younger brother. The harem system of Yanyun has been introduced in the previous article. The harem system of Yanyun is similar to that of contemporary times. The queen is the largest and her mother is the most respected one in the world. The current empress of the Ming Dynasty is Yang Tong. Under the empress are the four ladies who are called imperial concubines by the people, also known as the imperial concubines. As the fourth concubine, under the imperial concubine are the so-called nine concubines, and Zhaoyi is the head of the nine concubines. Zhao Lihua did not follow Yang Peng very early, nor did she make any contributions to the Ming Dynasty, nor did she have a son or a daughter. The reason why she became the first of the nine concubines is believed to be because she was born into the Zhao and Song royal family.

Zhao Heng was very happy to see his sister coming, holding her hand and saying caring words; Zhao Lihua rarely saw her brother, and seeing that he was much older than before, she couldn't help but feel her heart go north, and tears couldn't help but overflow her eyes.

Zhao Heng chuckled and said, "Lihua, our brother and sister meet today. It's a happy event. Why are you crying?"

Zhao Lihua said sadly: "My son, I saw that my brother has more gray hair on his temples."

Zhao Heng said calmly: "Brother is old after all. It is normal to have gray hair." Then he sighed and said: "These days, this may be the most carefree life for brother. No need to worry anymore. Being disturbed by the state affairs in the city, without having to worry about the invasion of aliens, and being around poetry, calligraphy and painting all day long, it is really a life like a god!" Seeing her brother say this, Zhao Lihua felt a little better.

Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Lihua and said with some worry: "Brother is a little worried about you now! As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger. You were born in an emperor's family, with a noble status, rich clothes and fine food, and you know too much about the dangers of the human heart. Young Master! In the harem, you must be careful, and the most important thing is not to compete with others for favor, otherwise it will definitely lead to disaster!"

Zhao Lihua nodded and said, "My daughter has taken note of it."

Zhao Heng looked at his daughter's beautiful face and couldn't help but ask, "Daughter, are you happy with His Majesty?" Zhao Lihua nodded and said infatuatedly: "Being his wife is the best thing in my daughter's life. A happy thing." After a pause, he frowned and said, "Although, although it is a bit unsatisfactory, as long as she can always see him and be loved by him, my daughter will be satisfied!" Zhao Heng couldn't help but act in his heart.

Zhao Lihua asked in confusion: "Brother, why haven't you seen me?"

Zhao Heng said: "He went drinking with the Eighth Prince early in the morning."

Zhao Lihua was surprised and asked: "Have they reconciled?" Zhao Heng nodded and said with a smile: "They seemed to have reconciled suddenly. When I, as a father, found out, I just I’m very surprised!”

Zhao Lihua frowned and said, "I wonder if my brother still hates me!"

Zhao Heng smiled and said: "He has stopped hating for a long time. He has already understood that Zhao Song's demise was determined by fate. What does it have to do with you?" Zhao Lihua smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid my brother is trying to spare my daughter's heart!" Zhao Lihua said with a smile. Heng said sternly: "Brother Wei didn't lie to you. If you don't believe it, I will take your two brothers to the palace to meet His Majesty tomorrow. Then you will know that what Brother Wei said is true." Zhao Lihua was very happy, " Great, my daughter is just waiting for her brother and brothers to come!”



On the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the military officers and ministers in Bianliang, as well as the families of the concubines and merchants with unusual identities, came to the palace to pay homage to Yang Peng, the Ming Emperor. All day long, Yang Peng met people who came to see him in the main hall. At about noon, Zhao Heng led his family to come, kowtow and salute, and wish Yang Peng, the Ming Emperor, a long life.

Yang Peng was a little surprised to see that the three brothers Zhao Heng, Zhao Defang and Zhao Ping had put aside their previous suspicions and came together. In the past, Zhao Heng and Zhao Defang had an internal fight over Zhao Song's power, and they were a mortal enemy, but now they get along well and appear to be very harmonious. Seeing this scene, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel happy for Zhao Lihua, at least now he didn't have to worry about the relationship between father and brother.

Zhao Defang, his father and his son, bowed respectfully and wished the Ming Emperor long life and the Ming Dynasty forever.

Yang Peng smiled and said: "Father-in-law, two uncles, there is no need to be polite." The three thanked them and stood up.

Yang Peng glanced at the three of them and said with a smile: "I am very happy to see the three of them put aside their old grudges." The three of them smiled. Yang Peng looked at Zhao Huan. At this time, Zhao Huan also happened to look towards Yang Peng. Yang Peng saw the look of resentment in Zhao Huan's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned. Then he found that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Huan's expression as usual, and couldn't help but think that he had just had an illusion.

He didn't take this matter to heart and said with a smile: "We are relatives. We can move around more and don't be too rigid." Zhao Defang bowed and agreed.

Yang Peng felt that he really had nothing to say to them, so he said: "Lihua is waiting for you in the harem. You go and have a good time with her." The three of them bowed and agreed. Yang Peng called a Feifeng female guard and asked her to lead the three of them to Zhaoyi's palace in the harem. The three uncles bowed to Chen Xiao and followed the Feifeng female guard down.

The three uncles followed the female guard to the harem. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of them, they couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Zhao Huan couldn't help but murmured: "This was originally my home!" The voice was very soft. Only Zhao Defang, who was next to him, heard it. His face changed greatly and he looked at his nephew in surprise. …

The Chinese New Year is a happy time for some people, especially children. However, for others, especially Yang Peng, who is the emperor, it is the busiest time of the year. Yang Peng has been busy with various social activities since the second day of junior high school, and it didn't end until he was fifteen. On the sixteenth day, Yang Peng slept all day and was too lazy to get up.

The noisy and busy Spring Festival has finally passed, and everyone is getting busy again. Ministers and generals returned to their respective posts one after another, and various New Year policies began to be implemented; while Yang Peng, the Ming Emperor, rushed to Hangzhou with Liu Zhiliang.

When I arrived in Hangzhou, the land in the south of the Yangtze River had already shown a bit of spring. The ice and snow were melting, clear streams were gurgling, the green grass was smiling, and the trees were sprouting new buds; the new-born birds were chirping on the branches, and the farmers were bustling. Begin to be busy in the fields, singing.

Shen Yuqiu, the deputy governor of Jiangnan East Road, the main naval generals, and Teng Kan, the general of the Third Army, rushed to the palace to pay homage to Yang Peng.

Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked with a smile, "Long time no see, are you all okay?"

A feeling of closeness suddenly arose in everyone's hearts, and Shen Yuqiu immediately said: "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I am living a very good life! I just miss Your Majesty all the time and hope to see Your Majesty's holy face again. Now this wish has finally come true!" The generals! They all frowned when they heard him say such disgusting words. Yang Peng said angrily: "Master Shen, don't think about me, I have no interest in men!" Everyone burst into laughter, and Shen Yuqiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but then he thought about Yang Peng's words: "Your Majesty's words must be more than just a sentence It's a joke, maybe it means something. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart, and a look of surprise appeared on my face.

Yang Peng looked at the generals standing on his left and asked, "Are all the armies in place?"

Teng Kan clasped his fists and said, "All the 30,000 soldiers of the Third Army have arrived." Wang Hai, the commander of the navy, clasped his fists and said, "The main force of the navy has also arrived."

Yang Peng nodded and looked at the middle-aged man who looked like a pirate standing on the right: "What's the situation over there in Japan now?" This middle-aged man with a fierce pirate look is known as Hailong. He was originally a man on the sea. The leader of the largest gang, the Haisha Gang, was engaged in the business of killing people, robbing ships, and selling illicit salt. He also robbed coastal towns in the Song and Japanese countries. He was so famous that the people along the coast were frightened by his name; Years ago, the Haisha Gang was recruited by Hua Xu and became an organization under Hua Xu. Hailong, the leader of the Haisha Gang, became an assistant leader of Hua Xu, leading the former Haisha Gang members to specialize in Responsible for spying on the Japanese and Nanyang.

Seeing the emperor's question, Hai Long clasped his fists and said, "I was about to report to Your Majesty. Not long ago, our spies discovered that various Japanese ships were shrinking, as if they were in danger."

Liu Zhiliang frowned and said, "Did the Japanese discover our intention?"

Yang Peng said nonchalantly: "Just discover it if you find it. I don't intend to hide it from anyone. With such a mobilization of land, water, troops and horses, how could the Japanese not notice it." Looking at Hai Long, he asked: "How many Japanese troops are there on Kyushu Island? Soldiers and horses, who is the commander leading the army?”

Hailong said: "The Japanese army has 100,000 troops, all of which are land forces, and the navy is not worth mentioning. The leading general is Shigeo Sasuro, the general who led the invasion of Goryeo before. The main forces are concentrated in Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and the Kumamoto Mountains. In addition, there are also many guards on the outer islands."

Liu Zhiliang said: "One hundred thousand Japanese troops, our army's 30,000 elite troops can defeat them with one blow!"

Yang Peng stood up and walked to the map. The entire map of Japan was drawn on the map.

Yang Peng pointed at Nagasaki, Fukuoka and Kumamoto and said: "There is no need to worry about the enemy forces on the periphery. Our army will directly divide our troops into three groups to attack the three cities!" The generals nodded thoughtfully, and Liu Zhiliang said: "As long as the three cities are If it is defeated, the enemy's defense in the Kyushu region will collapse as a whole, and Kyushu will be ours!" Although Shen Yuqiu did not understand military affairs, after listening to Liu Zhiliang's words, he still understood the characteristics of the emperor's strategy, and immediately exclaimed: "Your Majesty is really Wise! Your Majesty's arrangement like this can be said to hit the strongest point and paralyze its whole body! If the strongest point is broken, the Japanese will naturally fall apart! All the famous generals in the past chose their weak points to attack, but Your Majesty did the opposite. , but the effect is far better than the former! Your Majesty’s strategy is unprecedented and unprecedented. Even Sun Wu and Li Mu are far behind compared to your Majesty! Your Majesty is simply the reincarnation of the God of War in the sky. How can a mortal have such a strategy as your Majesty!”

The scene was completely silent, only Shen Yuqiu's voice echoed. Seeing how excited he was, it seemed like he was really sighing from the bottom of his heart. Yang Peng felt goosebumps all over his body, and couldn't help but admire those great men and emperors who could be intoxicated by the sounds of singing praises. Maybe they are really amazing, at least they can be at peace with this disgusting sound and still enjoy it.

Yang Peng said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Yuqiu slapped the horse's leg with his flattery, and couldn't help but shut his mouth angrily.

His eyes turned to Kyoto.

Yongren urgently summoned all his close ministers and said: "According to reliable intelligence, Ming Dynasty is gathering strength and preparing to invade us."

Everyone was startled, and then they started shouting. One said that the Ming army would never come back, and the other said that the Ming army would be killed without leaving a single piece of armor behind.

Yongren raised his right hand, and the noisy voices gradually disappeared. Everyone looked at Yongren, hoping that His Highness the Crown Prince would have a proper strategy. Despite everyone's angry shouting just now, everyone was actually very scared. In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was like the most terrifying nightmare and the most terrifying giant beast. They roared angrily just to relieve the fear in their hearts. Of course, they may not be aware of this, and even if they are aware of it, they will certainly not admit it.

Yongren frowned and said: "Now the situation is dangerous, we must have a clear understanding. We must do our best to deal with it."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and Fujiwara Naraki said: "We should immediately gather all the naval forces pretending to be pirates to resist the Ming army, and also concentrate all our forces on Kyushu to fight the Ming army decisively! Our Yamato nation is Amaterasu The descendants of the great god, protected by the great god Amaterasu, no one can defeat us, the final victory must belong to our Yamato nation!" Everyone agreed.

Yongren said: "What Mr. Marikachi said is right. Our Yamato nation is the descendant of Amaterasu. With the blessing of divine power, no one can defeat us!" A military general said loudly: "Your Highness, please give me an order!" Everyone looked at them. Yongren.

Yongren glanced at everyone and said: "The enemy will definitely attack Kyushu first, so we have to concentrate our efforts on Kyushu Island. However, there is no need to transfer the navy back. Let them attack the Ming Dynasty's trade routes and coastal towns, which will be more useful to us." It's more advantageous." Everyone thought and nodded.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Yonghito continued: "In addition, the task of opening up the New World should not be affected, and should continue to be promoted firmly." Looking at Fujiwara Marimari, he said: "Master Marimari, the work of relocating residents must be stepped up! This is This is a major event related to the future of our Yamato nation!" Fujiwara Chengqi exclaimed.

Yonghito glanced at everyone and said: "This battle is related to the national destiny of our Yamato nation. I want to personally command the battle!" Looking at Fujiwara Shimitsu, he said: "Master Shimitsu will be in charge of Kyoto for me!" "Hi!"

At the Hangzhou Palace, after Yang Peng, Liu Zhiliang and other generals discussed it, the generals left. Shen Yuqiu ran in and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Yang Peng walked to the desk and sat down. He glanced at Shen Yuqiu and said, "After the war begins, the supply of food, grass and baggage is very critical. Are there any problems in this regard?" Shen Yuqiu said, "Everything is ready. I still want to If you have some emergency response measures in place, there will be no problem."

Yang Peng nodded and said, "You are actually very capable. I believe you can do this very well." Shen Yuqiu was moved and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!"

What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
