"Finally here!"

Li Long slapped his thigh, he really couldn't wait to hear this decree.

At the same time, he still felt a little nervous. His Majesty wouldn't really order a shopping trip with Daning in a fit of enthusiasm, would he?

As he was thinking, the secret book had been placed on his desk.

Li Long opened it directly and saw a big word "retreat". He continued to look down. His face was surprised at first, and then a little suspicious. He took a long breath, and his hanging heart finally fell.

Come down.

"Come here, please immediately release all the messenger soldiers in the army and send His Majesty's decree to the surrounding counties as soon as possible. All officials and local troops can temporarily retreat. Before retreating, be sure to appease the people."

Li Long thought this was nonsense.

After the officials made money, they were eager to leave. Who cares about the life and death of the people?

Like some people here, the top end of silver dollar exchange is Qian Dafu, but these people are all upstream. Because it is close to the area occupied by Daning, a huge black market has been formed in these border areas.

Himekawa has always wanted to control but couldn't stop it. This is the fundamental reason.

How can the referee and the kicker be banned?

Now they are all in panic.

Everyone knows that Emperor Daning went to Liang and gained a province. Now he is coming to Wei, and with such great momentum, he may also have plans to continue the attack, and then they will all fall into his hands.

They heard that Emperor Yuanwu liked to harm rich people the most.

I finally made a fortune here, but don't fall into the hands of Emperor Yuanwu in the end, then there will be nothing.

It is a good opportunity to use this reason to leave naturally.

As for the life and death of ordinary people, what does it have to do with them?

Therefore, many people in the military council hall were very happy at this moment.

This is His Majesty's will, but it's not that they don't have the courage to fight against Daning's army.

This is what most people think, but there are also people who are worried that this retreat will deplete the morale of the army and the backbone of the country, and the whole people will bow down and never be able to lift it up again.

Immediately, someone stood up and shouted: "Retreat, where can we retreat to? Are we going to give up Wangjingdu in the end?"

"No."

Li Long shook his head and said: "This time is different. The imperial court has invited foreign aid."

"foreign aid?"

Everyone present looked stunned, which was really strange.

Liang Guo has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he get foreign aid?

"It's a Japanese!"

Li Long said in a low voice: "The foreign aid invited by the imperial court is the Japanese!"

"Japanese?"

Everyone present was slightly startled, and then their expressions changed, becoming more complicated.

The Japanese invasion of Wei was raging, and many of the generals present had experience in fighting against Japanese invaders, but now they became Wei's foreign aid.

Lu Xun, the left deputy general, frowned and said: "What kind of strength do the Japanese pirates have? Can they still fight against Daning?"

"What you don't know is that a Japanese daimyo has led a large number of warriors to Shanzhou Port and made bold promises to drive away Emperor Daning..."

"What?"

Li Long's words shocked all the generals present again.

Why does the little Japanese country have such nonsense? How dare you say such things?

"The Governor's Office and the Ministry of War have issued orders asking us to pay attention and be prepared at all times. The Governor Chen Shenzhi will also come here."

Li Long said in a low voice: "I hope the Japanese can give us some surprises."

Everyone looked at each other, but they all felt a strong sense of unreality?

Daning was able to stand firm despite the four disasters. Can the Japanese country really drive away Emperor Yuanwu?

They were very suspicious.

However, His Majesty's order was finally followed, and the military meeting was quickly concluded, and a large number of scouts were dispatched from the United Front Office to various places.

This decree was timely, and the local officials who had already become impatient evacuated immediately after receiving the order, not to mention appeasing the people...

The army and officials abandoned the people and fled.

The northern part of the Wei Kingdom is in chaos, and on the eastern coast, Guan Ning's fleet has reached the Wei border waters!

There was also a grand review in Huizhou. In recent years, the navy has developed more and more, and Guan Ning had to pay attention to it.

The Daning Navy started out as pirates and was later divested. However, the skeleton fleet still remains, but its scope of activities is no longer limited to the offshore, but allows them to go to sea. This is to prepare for the great voyage of the Daning Navy.

…

When a country develops to a certain level, it will fall into a bottleneck, and tax revenue will basically be fixed, with some fluctuation at most. At this time, it needs to find new growth points.

Guan Ning, who had traveled through time, naturally knew that there was a better way, and that was the great voyage. To be precise, he took the sea route to trade with more distant countries. This would provide a new source of national fiscal revenue.

This has long been foreshadowed in history, such as the emergence of the Silk Road...

Could it be that the powerful Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty mobilized the whole country to control the Western Regions just for the sake of those two taels of raisins?

Of course not!

Guan Ning has paved the way for the development of Daning in advance.

Ocean trade and even ocean plunder are the fastest ways to make money!

When the imperial court had money, there was no need to exploit those peasants who were already very poor and had their backs turned to the sky.

This is not an assumption.

With the development of navigation technology, going to the ocean is no longer a dream.

Wei State, which developed the shipbuilding industry earlier, has mature technologies in manufacturing large sea-going ships, watertight compartments, multi-layer side plates, and keel structures.

They just don't have the awareness of ocean going, and they still view the world with feudal ideas and implement the policy of banning the sea. In fact, as long as they are willing, they can build an ocean-going ship that can accommodate a hundred people...

Guan Ning wanted something ready-made, and he was planning to take over a shipyard this time when he arrived in Wei.

The vast sea, the water is light blue.

After a period of adaptation, Guan Ning finally no longer felt so uncomfortable. Navigating on the sea was completely different from traveling in the river...

Only with the cool sea breeze blowing did Guan Ning feel more comfortable.

"In three days we can reach Wei State's Shanzhou Port, which is also an entrance to the sea. We can enter Wei State from here..."

Navy Admiral Jinghai Gongsun Pusheng was beside Guan Ning to explain the situation.

"Arrangements have been made over there, and the strategy of clearing the road has been implemented in accordance with your will. All land and waterways are open to traffic."

Guan Ning asked with a smile: "Did I go too far? After all, Wei Jun is also my uncle, so it always feels inappropriate to slap him in the face so unreasonably."

"If the king of Wei is interested, he should hand over Wei. There is no point in resisting."

Sun Pusheng said: "The situation in Wei is very bad. The money you sent is worth as much as a Daning navy!"

Because he often travels between the two countries, he has some understanding of the situation in Wei.

Guan Ning didn't say anything. He knew how powerful money was, and it wouldn't have been so smooth originally, but he couldn't help his uncle to commit suicide, so he kept doing it and got himself killed.
