As the largest warship, the flagship has a wide and thick deck. There are three layers on the deck and two layers below the deck. The bottom is the drainage area.
The battleship is so thick that standing on it feels like climbing high.
Zhao Shan came to the front of the deck and leaned against the side of the ship, feeling a different feeling in his heart.
This flagship of a keel warship is completely different from the warship that came south from Jingzhou. It has a wider view, feels larger, and the workmanship feels more refined, with the atmosphere of a work of art everywhere.
After touching it, Zhao Shan inspected everything in the cabin and found that the cabin was spacious, with enough rest rooms, and a place specifically for placing war horses, placing weapons, and storing food.
To go to the Japanese country from Daqian, you need to cross the sea.
Crossing the sea takes time.
This requires food.
Just so, enough space must be left on each ship to pile fresh water, food, etc. to ensure that soldiers will not be hungry or thirsty when crossing the sea.
Of course, the route from Daqian to Japan was already familiar to me.
The merchants who come and go have figured out the supply locations along the way. If it is not possible, they can supply supplies along the way.
Compared to a long voyage, such a voyage is much easier.
After Zhao Shan read it, he said in a deep voice: "Xu Qing, is it possible to set off?"
"yes!"
Xu Ziyuan answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "That's good. Our army will repair in the water village for two days and then set off to the sea. In these two days, Abe Yunxiao will also make preparations. He has united with the Yelang Kingdom, and their military strength may be They are all waiting for us in Japan."
Xu Ziyuan did not answer.
He knew nothing about combat, and this was something Zhao Shan was responsible for.
Yu Song took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything else I need to do?"
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "No more for now. Just guard Yangzhou and do good logistics. Other matters will be arranged by the generals in the army."
Yu Song nodded.
Zhao Shan's army, as well as Yue Feipeng's and Qi Yuanjing's troops were mobilized. The army rested in the water stronghold for two days and then took a boat to go to the sea towards the Japanese country.
At the same time, Japanese sentry detectives had already passed back the news that Zhao Shan's army had arrived in Wu County.
The news spread back to the Japanese imperial capital in the shortest possible time.
Japan, in the imperial palace.
Abe Yunxiao is sitting directly above, and below are Yagyu Taizu, Miyamoto Shinsuke, and the Japanese prince Anbei Zhongyuan.
These are the core systems of the Japanese state.
Abe Yunxiao looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Today, Daqian finally sent troops. If Daqian had not sent troops, we would never be able to plot against each other. Now that Dagan is here, we can plot against each other."
"Especially when Zhao Shan comes in person."
"Zhao Shan, the Daqian Emperor, is indeed a talented and strategist, and he is indeed a great leader. However, Zhao Shan is too arrogant and conceited. He personally participates in every battle."
"Though the wars have made Zhao Shan more famous and influential, they have also made Zhao Shan more arrogant."
"It is said that those who are good at swimming will drown, and that is the case with Zhao Shan."
A flash of light flashed across Abe Yunxiao's eyes, and he said: "I believe that in this battle, no matter what, we must devote all our efforts to capture Zhao Shan. If Zhao Shan is destroyed, the entire army will be leaderless, and we will definitely make breakthrough progress. You can enter Daqian."
Yagyu Taizu also had great hatred for Zhao Shan.
Because of Zhao Shan, the Yagyu family lost all face and humiliation, and the family was even more humiliated.
The family's shame must be washed away with Zhao Shan's blood.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to wash away the shame.
Yagyu Daizu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shan's army is already on the way. At present, should we notify the people of Yelang Kingdom to discuss matters."
"Report!"
Just at this time, a eunuch entered and reported: "His Majesty the Emperor, General Ruan Zhongxin of the Yelang Kingdom asks for an audience."
"pass!"
Abe Yunxiao ordered.
The eunuch went to deliver the order. Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and Ruan Zhongxin strode in.
Ruan Zhongxin has dark skin, a short build, a bit of weight, and looks round-waisted and broad-shouldered. He is a solid strong man. He had sharp eyes and said loudly: "I, Ruan Zhongxin, have met the Japanese emperor!"
Abe Yunxiao frowned slightly!
He had corrected him and said he was the emperor, but Ruan Zhongxin was always like a stinking stone. He couldn't change his habit of eating shit, so he had to call him the Japanese emperor.
This made Abe Yunxiao feel a little uncomfortable.
At present, both parties still need to cooperate.
Abe Yunxiao looked serious and said further: "General Ruan, since you came here on your own initiative, you should have received the news about Daqian sending troops."
"yes!"
Ruan Zhongxin answered without hesitation.
His eyes were solemn and he said: "My Yelang Kingdom's sentry in Yangzhou sent back the news that Zhao Shan, leading more than 40,000 elite soldiers, is about to sail to the Japanese Kingdom by boat."
"Currently, Daqian has not launched a campaign to crusade the Japanese. It seems that he is following your strategy of asking for help and is coming to help the Japanese deal with me."
"Of course, Emperor Daqian must also have thoughts. He wants to use this to garrison the Japanese country and control the Japanese country."
"Otherwise, so many people would not be arranged to come."
Ruan Zhongxin said in a deep voice: "Japanese Emperor, we have more than 40,000 people. This is not a small number. Do you need our Yelang Kingdom to mobilize more soldiers and horses to help? If necessary, you can give me more conditions." Yelang Kingdom is naturally willing to send troops."
"no need."
Abe Yunxiao refused without hesitation.
He sneered inwardly.
The Yelang Kingdom worked with him to plot Zhao Shan. Now the Yelang Kingdom's army in the Japanese Kingdom already has 30,000 elite soldiers. If Yelang Kingdom had more troops, he would definitely have to pay a higher price.
Besides, who said Zhao Shan is scary and Yelang Kingdom is not ruthless?
Zhao Shan is a giant dragon.
Yelangguo is also a cunning fox.
Once the Yelang Kingdom has too many troops in the Japanese Kingdom and cannot lose its tail, it will become a situation where it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away, which is not conducive to the Japanese Kingdom.
If Abe Yunxiao is not just a Japanese country, but if he is stronger, he will not mind further plotting against Zhao Shan and Yelang Kingdom. He will drive the tiger to devour the wolf, and finally plot against both Zhao Shan and Yelang Kingdom.
The problem is, his strength is limited.
Abe Yunxiao looked serious and said: "General Ruan, Zhao Shan's army is coming to Japan. Are your fleets at sea ready? Once Zhao Shan's army all lands, your fleet at sea will attack At the port, destroy all Zhao Shan’s ships and cut off Zhao Shan’s retreat.”
Ruan Zhongxin smiled and said: "This is a small problem, I am not worried at all. The fleet I have hidden at sea has as many as 3,000 people and hundreds of warships."
"Warships are approaching Da Gan's ship one after another. As long as they crash Da Gan's ship or kill the people left on Zhao Shan's ship, it will be enough to succeed."
"The plan has already been made, why bother to say more?"
"Does the Japanese emperor not trust me?"
"Or do you not trust me, Yelang Kingdom?"
Ruan Zhongxin looked confident and said forcefully: "In a word, leave the attack on Zhao Shan's rear to me, so you can rest assured. In addition, the Japanese emperor must not be exposed in the battle on land. Only if you go all out can you Enough opportunity to destroy Zhao Shan."
Abe Yunxiao said confidently: "I have paralyzed Zhao Shan a long time ago, so don't worry. When Zhao Shan arrives, I will arrange for the prince to prepare for the Central Plains and personally greet Zhao Shan. Once Zhao Shan's army arrives, I will provide the problem Army rations. After Daqian’s army ate it, they all got sick and had diarrhea, so we can take advantage of the situation and attack.”
Ruan Zhongxin smiled and said: "I hope so!"
Abe Nakahara sat below and remained silent.
In Daqian, he made an agreement with the emperor and became loyal to Daqian. But what happened now, what should he do?
Are you loyal to your father?
Or are you loyal to Zhao Shan?
Or, think about it again and observe the situation.
An Bei Zhongyuan also believed that this plot against Zhao Shan was a clever trick and he begged him to succeed. However, Zhao Shanyou was very strong and invincible, which made An Bei Zhongyuan feel that maybe Zhao Shan also had a chance.
Just like this, after thinking about it for a while, An Bei Zhongyuan decided to wait for a while, observe the situation first and then adapt accordingly.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, another eunuch hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty the Emperor, news came from the sea that the big ship of Zhao Shan and his party has entered our waters in Japan, and will arrive in five days at most. It’s the port into the sea.”
"Prepare for war, prepare for war with all your strength!"
Abe Yunxiao's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.
The opportunity has come!
Zhao Shan is here, and he finally wants to take revenge.
All the soldiers who died in Zhao Shan's hands, all the soldiers who died in the Daqian territory, and all the hatred they felt together, he would take back one by one.
Abe Yunxiao looked at Ruan Zhongxin and said, "General Ruan, it's time to take action. Arrange your troops at sea and the troops near the gold mines to ambush and prepare to join the battle."
Ruan Zhongxin nodded and left.
Abe Yunxiao looked at Yagyu Daizu again and ordered: "Yagyu Daizu, go mobilize the army, even if it is a war."
"As you command!"
Yagyu Daizu also answered loudly.
Abe Yunxiao looked at Abe Nakahara again and ordered: "Prince, take a team of people and go to the port to greet him. Success or failure depends on this one move, so you must be steady."
"My son understands!"
Abe Nakahara also responded solemnly.
Abe Yunxiao waved his hand, and Abe Zhongyuan stood up and said goodbye. He went directly back to the Prince's East Palace. After tidying up, he took the Japanese officials responsible for the reception of the Ministry of Rites and headed all the way to the sea port in the north of the imperial capital.
