Chapter 88 [Going to Jiangnan] (Additional update, please subscribe)
The Jiangnan Ming family is the guardian family of the three major districts of the Neiku.

It is also the number one family in Jiangnan.

In terms of financial resources, he is unmatched in the world.

The three major workshops are the foundation of the inner treasury and are also a veritable treasure trove.

Whoever guards it will be the wealthiest family.

In the early years, the Ming family was in Jiangnan, and it was also a large family.

However, it is only below average.

Later, by chance, they were noticed by Ye Qingmei and became the guardian family of the three major districts.

Relying on the three major districts, the Ming family gradually swallowed up other aristocratic families and became the richest family in Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and will not tolerate it!"

Li Yunrui knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Qing glanced at her but ignored her.

The most urgent task is to select someone to lead the army to Jiangnan to drive out the Japanese pirates.

But the most difficult problem is that Qing Kingdom currently has no strong navy to mobilize.

Moreover, no general had combat experience in this area.

At this moment, even Emperor Qing was overwhelmed.

Soon, the imperial study temporarily became the place for court sessions.

Almost all officials above the fifth rank have arrived.

"General Qin, as the top military official, why don't you go there in person?"

Lin Ruofu looked at Qin Ye and bowed slightly.

The whole court was buzzing with discussions about what was happening in the south of the Yangtze River.

"This little country of Japan is so arrogant!"

The officials were furious.

Because the Japanese general actually made a harsh statement that he would completely conquer the Qing Kingdom within three months.

Upon hearing this, everyone in Qing State was indignant.

"Minister Lin, I am old, and the Qing army does not have a capable navy."

Speaking of this, Qin Ye couldn't help but sigh.

The navy has always been organized and has as many as 100,000 men.

However, the combat effectiveness is simply shocking.

One hundred thousand against fifty thousand, they are simply unable to fight.

In recent years, Qing State has also thought about training a navy.

However, no one has any experience in this kind of training, so there is nothing we can do.

Although the number of people was gathered, they had no fighting power at all.

It's just a mess.

When faced with the Japanese pirates, their legs became weak and they were defeated without a fight.

On the first seat, behind the curtain, Emperor Qing's face no longer looked good.

These people talked a lot, but no one dared to stand up and lead the army to fight.

Everyone is afraid of failure and being punished.

They are all afraid that it will affect their careers.

At this moment, Emperor Qing was disappointed with these civil and military officials.

A fire is slowly building up.

The Japanese pirates were so arrogant that they simply did not take the Qing Kingdom seriously.

He claimed that three months would be enough to conquer the entire Qing Kingdom.

How arrogant!

Moreover, this is a slap in the face of Emperor Qing.

Moreover, it hit very loudly.

So, Emperor Qing was already angry.

Seeing the civil and military officials behave in this way, the anger in his heart continued to accumulate.

However, no matter how angry he was, Emperor Qing also felt helpless.

In fact, Qing Kingdom did not have a large army that could compete with these 50,000 elite navy in terms of naval warfare capabilities.

Not even the Black Knight!

The Black Knights’ combat power is unmatched on land.

But, water battles are not allowed.

Just when the atmosphere was heavy, more news came.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Jiangnan!"

News from Jiangnan came one after another.

"Read!"

Emperor Qing guessed that it was not good news, and he was too lazy to read it, so he just asked the old eunuch to read it out.

Eunuch Hou bowed and replied "Yes".

Then tell everyone the content of the message in a concise and concise manner.

"News came from Jiangnan that the Beggars' Sects from all over the world gathered 100,000 people and drove merchant ships to block the Luo River. They fought with the Japanese pirates for three days and three nights, fighting to the death and suffering heavy casualties.

but……"

At this point, the old eunuch raised his head, glanced at Emperor Qing, and continued:

"However, the Japanese pirate army was never able to advance a single step."

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qing slammed the table and stood up, his tone showing undisguised excitement.

"This……"

Upon hearing the news, all the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar.

No one could believe that it was those ragged beggars who finally resisted the Japanese pirate army.

Incredible. Unbelievable.

It's unimaginable.

All the civil and military officials looked towards Li Chengqian.

Because the world's number one warehouse not only controls the world's grain, but also controls the world's waterways.

Within the territory of Qing State, all water transportation is subject to the world's number one warehouse.

The person who established the world's number one warehouse was the current crown prince, Li Chengqian.

The Second Prince and Li Yunrui also looked at Li Chengqian in shock.

"Crown Prince." Emperor Qing spoke.

"Your Majesty, I admit my guilt!"

Li Chengqian stood up, and his first words were not to ask for credit, but to plead guilty.

These words also made Emperor Qing stunned for a moment.

"It was not my son's order that the Beggars' Sect send out troops.

However, when the gang was first established, I gave some instructions.

Only with a country can we have a home. When it comes to the interests of the country, we must not give up an inch of land.

This time, the Beggars' Sect, with a total of 100,000 troops, acted voluntarily.

Please, Your Majesty, forgive them for their crimes."

Li Chengqian's words made all the civil and military officials present feel burning with pain.

Even these beggars understand the feelings of family and country.

In the face of justice, he resolutely faced death without fear.

But what about these civil and military officials?

Each and every one of them is afraid of death and responsibility.

"Not guilty, what crime have you committed?" Emperor Qing waved his hand and said:

"Not only is he innocent, but he has accomplished a great deed!"

"Father, the most urgent task is to send troops to support!" Li Chengqian reminded.

Emperor Qing walked out from behind the curtain and in front of the crowd.

When they met his gaze, all the civil and military officials avoided his gaze.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

Finally, Li Chengqian spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.

Everyone was surprised.

The Japanese pirates were brutal and cruel, committing all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting and robbing.

There are many crimes.

The prince went there in person. If he was not careful, I'm afraid...

This time, Emperor Qing also remained silent.

"Your Majesty, these Japanese pirates are so arrogant that they threatened to conquer Qing Kingdom in three months. This is a slap in your face, and also a slap in the face of me, the crown prince.

So, I must go to this battle.

I will never return until the Japanese pirates are destroyed!
Please allow me, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Li Chengqian bowed slightly and said, "However, before I set off, I would like to ask my father for a treasure."

"What treasure?"

Emperor Qing's gaze towards Li Chengqian suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Although he had chosen Li Chengqian as the crown prince, the prince was timid by nature, which always disappointed him.

However, over the past five years, his understanding has been refreshed time and time again.

Emperor Qing was very satisfied with this.

Especially at this moment, no one in the court, whether civil or military, was willing to take charge.

In the end, it was Li Chengqian who stood up.

"The Emperor's Sword!" Li Chengqian said.

Holding the Emperor's Sword, you can kill first and report later.

"Okay, that's right!"

Emperor Qing walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"You must come back alive. I will prepare a celebration banquet for you!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Chengqian bowed slightly.

"Tell me, what else do you want?" asked Emperor Qing.

"I only bring six generals from the East Palace, and six thousand soldiers and horses are enough.

The rest of the troops will be drawn and organized from the world's number one warehouse."

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, all the civil and military officials in the court started talking about it.

Without exception, all of them were voices of doubt.

That is a navy of 50,000 with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

What good are six thousand men and horses?

"Okay, I hereby authorize you to hold the Emperor's Sword, go south to the Yangtze River, and destroy the Japanese pirates.

At the same time, you can form your own navy of 100,000 men, with the money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chengqian bowed.

“However, the purpose of my sending troops this time is not to drive out the Japanese pirates.

Instead, we will attack Japan, destroy it, and kill everyone!"

Li Chengqian's words were like a huge rock falling into a river, instantly causing a thousand waves.

All the civil and military officials, including the Second Prince, looked at him with suspicion and talked a lot.
