Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 473
The drill of one hundred thousand soldiers and horses progressed very quickly, and under Li Yin's arrangement, an effective combat force had already been formed.

Cheng Yaojin and others also grew up under Li Min's guidance, and gained considerable experience in leading and training troops.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Li Yin walked out of the big tent slowly, without thinking about sending troops.

"Come on, call the generals to come to my place to discuss matters."

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, and there was shrewdness in his eyes.

The messenger was extremely excited, knowing that Li Min was going to make important arrangements.

After all, the last time the generals were called to discuss matters was on the eve of military training.

Not long after, the soldiers who were practicing on the ship stopped to move, and they all stood ready.

The generals who walked back and forth to supervise the training gathered one after another, and even Zhou Jie put aside all the things in his hands and went to Li Yin's big tent.

The generals lined up on both sides, led by Cheng Yaojin and Li Junxian, all of them looked solemn.

"Your Highness, I don't know why you are in such a hurry to call me to wait." Li Junxian looked puzzled, but he was training one of his troops, and hurried over after receiving the order.

Cheng Yaojin was also quite puzzled, but he vaguely felt the atmosphere was solemn, and felt that Li Min was making important arrangements.

When everyone was present, Li Yin laughed lightly, and dropped a command arrow on the ground.

"Where is Zhou Jie!" Li Yin was shocked when he opened his mouth, and everyone looked at Zhou Jie who was standing behind Cheng Yaojin.

In the past, he was just a poor man who fished for a living, but he was born at the right time, but now he is entrusted with an important task by Li Yin.

He also became a lieutenant colonel, respected by everyone.

"The end is here!" Zhou Jie was wearing armor, full of vigor.

Then he listened to Li Min arrange his next task.

"Now the time is ripe. Tomorrow morning, Zhou Jie will be the vanguard and set sail on the first ship to open the way for the army!"

After Li Min said this, he looked at everyone with bright eyes and immediately announced the important news.

"Generals, raise your troops for a thousand days, and use them for a short time!"

"Now the drills of our [-]-strong army have achieved remarkable results, and it is urgent to go to sea to fight!"

Li Yin's instructions were very simple, and the people present immediately cheered and jumped for joy, without a trace of the airs of a general.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Junxian looked at each other. As the commanders of the left and right armies, the two of them were extremely excited at this moment.

"Finally this day has come." Li Junxian sighed again and again, then bumped fists with Li Yin to show his determination.

The troops were ready to go, and began to board the ship early the next morning. Zhou Jie, as the vanguard, set off early.

Wei Zheng acted as a counselor, never leaving Li Min's side, and needed to be on the main ship.

One after another the warships went to sea one after another, and the soldiers regarded death as home, knowing that this time they sent troops to the Japanese country and escaped death, and they might never return to their homeland.

But no one regrets it, and no one is afraid, fighting for the country should not be afraid of life and death.

Li Yin walked to the stern, turned back to see that there were thousands of people on the shore kneeling to see him off.

At this moment, Li Yin was like a god.

war!
Li Yin shouted, and thousands of soldiers on the boat roared together, and it was shocking.

The fleet sailed away quickly, and the soldiers calmed down, and all stayed in the cabin to recuperate.

Wei Zheng walked to Li Yin's side, feeling very solemn.

"Your Highness, the hardships and dangers of sending troops to the Wa Kingdom this time are unknown."

"The old minister dares to advise His Highness that you must not take the lead!"

Wei Zheng took a deep breath, but he had the courage to say these words.

He knew Li Yin's temperament very well in his heart, he went up the mountain alone to negotiate with Ruan Shi, but in Wei Zheng's view, this kind of thing must never happen again.

"Oh? What are you talking about, Mr. Wei? On board the battleship, I am also a member of the army. If you retreat when something happens, how can you expect your brothers to charge into the battle?"

"If you are a general, you should not be afraid of death!"

Li Yin has his own set of views, and no matter how Wei Zheng persuades him, it will not help.

But he also knew what the old minister was thinking, and he was just afraid that something would happen to him and the country would suffer losses.

Li Min gently patted Wei Zheng's shoulder, motioned him to stand up first, and gave him a reassurance.

"Lord Wei, don't worry, if it is not necessary, I will only command the main ship, and I will never take risks alone."

After Li Yin finished speaking, Wei Zheng let out a long breath and felt relieved.

Time passed, and the battleship hadn't traveled far, and the sky had already darkened.

Li Yin stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, but it was pitch black.

Wei Zheng approached and wanted to ask Li Min whether he wanted to drive at night.

"Let the soldiers stand on the bow, raise the torches, and the battleship moves slowly."

Li Yin frowned tightly, he didn't want to spend too much time at sea, but he also knew how dangerous it would be to travel at night, so he settled down.

"Master Wei still needs to take a trip to explain to the generals that the battleship must always check the landmarks when driving at night, and must not deviate from the route!"

Li Yin's tone was very solemn, he knew best what would happen if he lost his way at sea, when the ship crashed and people died, the whole country would feel the same grief.

Wei Zheng hurriedly went to notify Zhou Jie and emphatically told Zhou Jie that as a pioneer, his direction of travel was particularly important.

Can……

The battleship marched in the dark, and the soldiers held up their torches, but they could barely see the direction.

But there was a problem just before dawn, Li Yin woke up in his sleep, and a soldier came to report in panic.

"Your Highness, something has happened!" The soldier's tone was urgent, which made Li Yin's heart skip a beat, and he walked onto the deck without thinking about putting on his good clothes.

Looking at it again, there are already countless reefs around, and the battleship deviated from the route, almost hitting the reef!
As a pioneer, Zhou Jie could hardly shirk his responsibility, and he took the initiative to plead guilty, but Li Yin didn't blame him at all.

"I was too anxious and almost made a big mistake."

Li Yin looked at the surrounding reefs, but fortunately, he discovered in time that the warships did not collide.

There is still room for maneuver in everything.

Li Yin looked serious and settled Zhou Jie carefully.

"You have been fishing at sea all year round. This king has no doubts about your ability. There is nothing you can do if you stray into the reefs."

Li Min's expression was cold and he ordered Zhou Jie directly.

"Go to the rear ship now and command them to retreat slowly to the reefs."

When Zhou Jie heard this, his expression became tense, and he only felt that the burden on his body was heavy.

But he obliged and left directly.

"The rear army becomes the front army, get out!"

After Zhou Jie sorted out his emotions, he commanded in an orderly manner. In Wei Zheng's eyes, all this made him very impressed.
