The more Zhu Ciyao thought about it, the angrier he got.
"We have to move forward!"
Zhai Ying frowned. He did not know what Zhu Ci Xin was planning to do.
"Your Majesty, what are you planning to do?”
"The Leizhou Prefecture is on the other side of Qiongzhou Island. I plan to build the Leizhou Prefecture into a bridgehead for us to restore the Divine Great Land!”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Governor Lu Si can chase after you at any time!”
Zhu Ci pointed at the sand table in the palace.
The sandbox was a simulation of the entire planet.
"We have to take down Fuzhou Prefecture! After all, the Tang Emperor is my relative. I must save him!”
"Your Majesty is wise. If the Tang Emperor knew that the Crown Prince of Chongzhen was still alive, he would definitely abolish his year title and follow you! Moreover, the Tang Prince was wise and talented. He would definitely be a great help!”
Zhu Ci Xin nodded. In fact, in history, the one who was most likely to revive Great Ming was the Tang Emperor. If Zheng Zhilong had not betrayed the Tang Emperor, Slave Jian would not have swept through the entire Great Ming so quickly.
"Zhai Ying, I have sent Pu Zhenguo and 1,300 soldiers to follow you to Leizhou Prefecture! Set up a defense line in Leizhou Prefecture as soon as possible!"
Zhai Ying cupped his fists and bowed.
"I accept your decree!"
The Empress tugged at Zhu Ciyan's dragon robe.
"Your Majesty, who will guard Qiongzhou City?"
Zhu Ci Xin did not panic at all. Now that he had 5500 units of gold, he could go to the Sage Gathering Pavilion to recruit generals.
"It's fine. I'll just choose a few more people to be generals!”
Zhu Cixi came to the Hall of Talents and spent 1000 units of gold in the system.
A minister had appeared in the industrial, agricultural, and commercial armies.
Minister of Industry: Zhou Gongqiang (4-star)
Minister of Agriculture: Wang Wenzheng (3-star)
Minister of Commerce: Ye Yuchen (4-star)
[Cavalry General: Ma Zhanshan (Four-star)]
Zhu Ci looked at the ministers who had come to the Hall of Virtue from afar.
They came to the Hall of Gathering Virtues and bowed to Zhu Cixi.
"Your Majesty, we're here to meet!"
Zhu Ci helped them up.
"Sit! Ma Zhanshan, the cavalry general, right?"
"Yes, this general is good at riding and shooting, and is best at commanding cavalry to attack!”
Zhu Ci Xin was very satisfied. Pu Zhenguo was the infantry general, and Ma Zhanshan was the cavalry general. They cooperated and were not afraid of the Jiannu Tartars.
Time passed very quickly. Ten days had passed, and the food reserves had increased by 20 million units.
Looking at the 20 million units of food, Zhu Ci prepared the Berserker Cavalry.
The light cavalry of the southern army was 3000 units of food each, and the cavalry archers and heavy cavalry of the southern army were 4000 units of food each.
20 million was enough to recruit 5000 heavy cavalry.
Zhu Ci Xin immediately recruited 5000 heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalrymen of the southern army wore two layers of armor. The inner layer was chain armor and the outer layer was plate armor.
The weapons were a light crossbow and a long handle Zhanmadao.
He looked at the heavy cavalrymen in plate armor who were slowly walking towards the camp.
Zhu Ci Xin immediately gave the five thousand Ferghana Horses to them.
Ferghana horses were fast and had high endurance. The key was that they carried twice the weight of Slave Jian's horses.
Ma Zhanshan jumped onto the Ferghana Horse, feeling extremely excited.
"Your Majesty, this is a good horse! It's much better than the Jiannu Tartars 'horses!"
Zhu Ci Xin smiled and nodded.
"This is a ferghana horse. Since you have the best warhorse, you must give me the best battle results!”
"Understood!"
In the past ten days, Pu Zhenguo entered Leizhou Prefecture under the lead of the governor and his aides.
Governor Lu Si was very respectful to Pu Zhenguo, especially when he saw the soldiers behind Pu Zhenguo with high morale and well-equipped weapons. Lu Si was in a daze, as if he could see a different future for the Ming Empire.
"General Pu, how is His Majesty now?”
"Your Majesty is doing very well on Qiongzhou Island! His Majesty would probably arrive at Leizhou Prefecture in a few days to direct the northern expedition!”
Governor Lu Si was stunned.
"Northern expedition? General, we don't have many soldiers. Slave Jian in the north has a strong fighting force, and with the Green Army soldiers who surrendered and defected, Slave Jian has at least a million soldiers!”
"What's there to be afraid of? We will have more and more soldiers. Don't worry, Governor!”，Pu Zhenguo looked fearless.
Lu Si was dumbfounded. He did not expect General Pu Zhenguo, who had only brought 1,300 men, to be so confident.
"Zhai Ying, what's going on? Did they not know how powerful the Jianu Tartars were?”
Zhai Ying shook her head.
"They should know how powerful the Jianu Tartars are. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dug trenches outside Leizhou City and built a defense line.”
Leizhou City had less than a thousand state capital soldiers. They were loose and didn't look like Great Ming's soldiers at all.
When they saw the army of Qiongzhou Island patrolling in the city, they were deeply shocked.
" Elite, this is what an elite is!" Governor Lu Si sighed.
Zhai Ying looked at the 1,000 soldiers behind him. Their cotton armor was broken, their hats were crooked, and their knives were rusty.
"Sigh! Governor, I finally understand why the Jiannu Tartars are so fearful in many places! Look at the troops of our Leizhou Prefecture. I'm afraid they can't even defeat a farmer with a hoe!”
Lui Si lowered his head and pondered for a long time.
"The peaceful days have passed for too long, and our weapons have been abandoned! However, I believe that His Majesty will definitely be able to lead us back to the peak of Great Ming!”
"Report, a large amount of resources are being transported from Qiongzhou Island to the dock! Many warhorses and soldiers landed!”
Lui Si was stunned.
"His Majesty has brought warhorses and soldiers? God bless Great Ming, God bless Great Ming Empire!”
