There is a treasure in Cai Shouqi's mansion that his ancestors bought from unknown where they were bought. The full name is: peony flowers with tangled branches and eight treasures, ginger buds, sea water, passion fruit, colorful beasts, all over the ground, two clouds, dragons, dark dragons, phoenixes, treasures, flowers, lions rolling embroidered carpets, eight auspicious clouds, linguistic flowers, flowers and fruits.

It is said that this porcelain basin was a treasure tributed by the Bohai Kingdom in the first year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty. There is only one piece in the world, and there is no more semicolon.

But whether this thing was collected in Cai’s Mansion was not true. Lishan was just mentioned by his friend, and he didn’t take it seriously. He never asked Cai Shouqi for confirmation. Today, he might as well submit this matter to the emperor and ask Cai Shouqi to contribute with this treasure. If he couldn’t take it out, he would say that he had hidden the treasure and asked him to be accused of deceiving the emperor!

The emperor always had an irresistible attitude towards such things. The emperor was rich all over the world and took them away. What had he seen before? "The things that are from others are from others, what should I do?" He laughed and scolded Lishan, "I think you are also a fool. Do you want me to do something that can kill my love with one another?"

"How dare I?" Li Shan said with a grin, "It's just that the emperor said this, because the master is wise and kind-hearted. We who are slaves cannot cherish it because of this. It's fine if the slave has no wealth in the family and is difficult to contribute. Like Lord Cai, who has a treasure that has been passed down from family to country, dares to act like this? The slave is deeply unfair to the emperor."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with you today? Lishan! Cai Shouqi wrote a memorial to you,... Oh! I understand." He chuckled.

Takayama knew that he could not hide it from the emperor, so he lay on the ground and hit his head. "I would never dare to take Lord Cai's letter of impeachment as jealousy. I just thought that Lord Cai's behavior is too unauthoritative!"

"You, don't use any bad ideas. Isn't the errands of the Ministry of Revenue busy with you?" He changed his topic and asked again, "How are the preparations of soldiers from all provinces outside the pass before departure?"

"It's all over." When talking about the important matter, Tarzan restored his hypocritical expression. "Zhejiang Governor Tang Jiong had shipped 150,000 kilograms of Jinhua ham onto the vehicle a few days ago and sent it straight to Liaoning. The slave calculated that by July 12th, before the soldiers officially went to sea, they would be distributed to the soldiers."

"How about rice prices in each province?"

"Slightly increased. The imperial court launched a large-scale military service, and the price of grain and rice was also predicted by the emperor and all the people early. The increase was less than 30% of the grain price, which was lower than the estimates of the imperial court and various departments. This also shows that the emperor loved the people as his sons for decades, and his virtue was passed down by the people. Justice is in the hearts of the people!"

"The people are grateful to me, because the grass and wild people have their own hearts. The court cannot use this as an excuse to delay the war for a long time. I will see Zhu Hongzhang and others later, so you can go down first?"

"Zhe." Lishan agreed, but then left, and then touched his head and said, "Your Majesty, what happened to Lord Cai's mansion?"

After mentioning it repeatedly, the emperor was inevitably interested. "After you go down, ask him. If there is any, take it into the palace and I will take it. If there is no, forget it, and there is no need to make things difficult for him."

"Yes." Takayama was satisfied. No? No, he also asked Cai Shouqi to turn things out! He bumped his head happily and then turned around.

Just as Tachiyama went out, Liufu came in with a plate equipped with a green head sign for the audience. "Emperor, Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, several adults from the Ministry of Revenue have arrived."

"pass."

Sushun, Yishan is in front, Zhu Hongzhang, Cheng Xueqi, Lin Wencha, Cheng Xiang, Hu Xiaomao and others are behind, and they entered one after another, kneeled down on the thick felt. They performed a great ceremony for the monarch and ministers, "I respectfully ask the emperor for peace and safety! Long live long live long live long!"

"Have Zhu Hongzhang the soldiers from the six northern provinces gathered?"

"Yes! We have gathered together and prepared. Just wait for the emperor to pass the east and go out to sea and attack the enemy's nest."

"I have read the combat plan formulated by the Ministry of War. It is probably difficult to land in Sakai, Tsuruka and Wenhai!"

"I also feel the same way. But I think that there is an emperor who teaches the strategy and a soldier who gives his life to him. What's the point of being a small country in Japan?" Zhu Hongzhang said with a big word, "As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, the enemy will collapse without fighting, and they will escape after looking at the wind."

"If it is that simple, do you think I will transfer you from the Liaoning Harbour to the death of you without hesitation? After winning a few battles, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong! Don't forget that you, Zhu Hongzhang, is now the commander-in-chief of the Northern Legion, who used Japanese troops to the court, and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are placed on your shoulders. You blame any such great consequences? If you have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy from you, it's better not to fight this battle! It won't be a loss of soldiers and generals, and I will embarrass you."

Everyone didn't want him to get such a big temper. He was led by Yishan and kept lying on the ground to meet. Zhu Hongzhang felt very wronged. He said this to the emperor. For him, he didn't know how cautious he was. Every time the war was promoted and previewed, he had to plan with the officers of the Ministry of War. He was afraid that there would be something unexpected, but how dare he talked at this moment? He imitated his colleagues and met hard. In a short while, his forehead was blue and purple.

"The total number of Japanese citizens exceeds 40 million. Now that the naval battle has just ended, Emperor Meiji has already issued a national recruitment order. Although these people have not received any formal military training and their combat capabilities are far less than our army, they have the advantage in number and are of the advantage of geographical advantages. If you cross the Strait with this mentality, the results of the battle will be self-evident, and you won't have to continue this battle!"

Su Shun looked excited and confused. Why did the emperor repeatedly reiterate the combat capabilities of the Japanese army? Is it to sound the alarm for these people, or does the other party really have unknown secret skills? "The emperor is a great master, not a slave, and other people can look back on his father. Now that the war is imminent, I ask the emperor to help his ministers and others, and think that he will benefit from it in the future."

With him eased his cheeks from the side, no one else could be ignorant? The flattery was coming and there was endless encounters.

"I don't have much to tell you. What I said is just to cheer you up and treat it with caution! I just said that the Japanese army is not as good as the soldiers of my Green Camp, regardless of weapon equipment or military training. As long as you don't have those unrealistic delusions that are determined by the small Eastern countries when the heavenly soldiers arrive, I will be satisfied."

He scolded everyone, and his tone turned gentle, and then said, "One of the other things to pay special attention to is the people of Japan. That is, those unarmed people on weekdays, don't be deceived by their illusions. Once these people seize the opportunity, the harm they bring to our army will often be more serious than formal combat."

Cheng Xiang knelt among the crowd. He was the admiral of the Shandong Green Camp, the head of a military post in a province. This time he also wanted to lead troops to fight in the sea. But unlike Zhu Hongzhang and others, he, like Zhang Yunlan from Shanxi, boarded a ship from Weihai and Dengzhou in Shandong, and crossed the sea for a long expedition. This time he was seen in Beijing, the emperor's words made him feel like he was falling into a fog for five miles. How could the Green Camp soldiers still be injured by the unarmed villagers? Why should they fight with their own soldiers? Wooden sticks or hoes?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. How can the villagers bring harm to our army?"

"It's very simple." He picked up a memorial and waved it to everyone. "I have given you an example. If this memorial is a fire grenade, or several fire grenades, put it in a commoner's arms, even wrapped it in a swaddle, put it in his arms, and when he approaches the Green Camp soldiers, it will detonate with a bang, what will happen?"

"Then, will he be blown to death if he goes by himself?"

"Bah! You ignorant stupid slave! How many people are there in Japan? How many green camp soldiers can there be? Isn't it the most cost-effective way to choose after you are not an opponent on the front battlefield?"

Zhu Hongzhang and others were shocked. If it was really as the emperor said, the situation would be very serious. The soldiers of the Green Camp had never experienced such a battle, and the attacks were far away, and the momentum was left alone to launch a massacre. How should we distinguish between good and evil?

The emperor deliberately refused to give a solution, but asked them, "Although this is my own worries, we must take precautions early. Tell me, is there any way to prevent this?"

"I don't think that I have to say so much to these people. If I do it honestly, as long as there is a place in Japan that dares to hurt my Green Camp soldiers, I will kill all the people in this place to show punishment!"

Zhang Yunlan's words made everyone look at him, "Mr. Zhang, according to what you said, where has the emperor's wise virtue placed you? Not to mention that even if one or two people are in trouble, what are the other people?"

"Mr. Zhu's words are not unacceptable." Zhang Yunlan led the army for many years and had experienced it. He was no longer the rude appearance of the past. He immediately refused to respond when he heard this. "Did you just watch the brothers hurt these troublemakers and do nothing?"

Yishan turned around and whispered, "Shut up! This is in front of the imperial court! Do you think it is still in your own military camp? I really don't know what it means."

The emperor was very satisfied with Zhang Yunlan's words. But now he was bound to be unable to say what he agreed with him, otherwise he would spread it out and the war would not begin, leaving a fierce infamy for himself. He deliberately pondered for a moment, waved his hand to stop the quarrels, and turned to Cheng Xiang, "Did you hear his words just now?"

"I heard it all." When the emperor asked about this, Cheng Xiang naturally knew what it meant. He said according to his thoughts, "I was thinking that although Lord Zhang's words were rude and cruel, they were taught by the saints in troubled times. If he always kept his mind on educating the saints, he might not have started the war easily and occupied Taiwan."

"...Therefore, the slave thinks that even if you use harsh laws to help others, these people will be rewarded."

"At that time, it depends on the behavior of the other party, and do it more cheaply." He said, "But if you are in normal times, you should still be kind and caressed, Zhang Yunlan..." He pointed to the kneeling man with his hand and shouted in a low voice, "Control your temperament and don't let me deal with you for these things. Hum?"

Zhang Yunlan naturally responded timidly.

The emperor landed his legs and put on his boots. "Today, everyone will go back to Guanyi to rest early. I will come to the palace early tomorrow morning. I will practice it for you. I also wish my soldiers from the Qing Dynasty Green Camp to show their power in foreign lands!"
