Polo Chi is really old, his hair is gray and messy, his eye sockets are deeply wrinkled and crawling all over his face, if it weren't for the fact that he was still wearing an official uniform, Liu Hong would almost not recognize it.

"Mr. Pineapple, why are you here?" Liu Hong gradually got off the horse and said in surprise.

"Lord Wang! Chahar is resting! Polo Chi Lao burst into tears and knelt down in front of Liu Hongji.

"What is this doing, Mr. Pineapple can't help it, you are not my Ming subordinate!" Liu Hong hurriedly lifted Polo Chi up, although he knew why in his heart, he couldn't say it.

It's like traveling to the Qin State to be the boss, but meeting Qu Yuan at an inopportune time.

It can't be helped, Chahar is already like that.

"Lord Wang, a month ago, the Rakshasa Kingdom led an army of 180,000 to raid my Chahar, which is not something that my Chahar can resist, I came to ask for support from the Ming court, but the Ming monarch refused to see me.

I waited outside the palace every day for a full month, and now that the Chahar country has been invaded, I just came to pray for the prince to send troops to avenge the Empress Dowager Sutai, the 80,000 soldiers who died, and hundreds of thousands of people! Polochi had long since stopped crying.

Where can he not see the meaning of the Ming court, the Rakshasa country is too powerful, not only the number of troops, but also the weapons and equipment are more sophisticated than those of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Polochi was measured by the firearms of the Chahar soldiers, and he naively thought that the Ming court gave them the most advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't even complain about the inaction of the Ming court, after all, where can there be morality between countries?

Now that Chahar has been destroyed, he only hopes to see the Ming Lion marching westward, because he understands that even if the Ming Dynasty does not act, the Rakshasa Kingdom will not give up, and the Ming and the Rakshasa will have a war sooner or later.

He wanted to see the day when the Rakshasa Kingdom would fall.

"I understand what you mean, the Ming army will go out, but it will take time, and let me go back to the palace to see the saint first!" Liu Hong gradually sighed and stepped onto the war horse.

There are too many things in the world that do not fulfill people's wishes, and he is now in a high position and has to consider the overall interests of the country, but the matter has come to this point, and the Ming Dynasty's expedition to Rakshasa is almost a certainty, but it does not conflict with Polochi's appeal.

Liu Hong gradually rode a war horse straight into the palace, and the general guarding the gate didn't dare to let go when he saw that no one was coming, and Liu Hong gradually went straight all the way to the noon gate before dismounting.

When he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, the great eunuch Da Hai immediately shouted at the top of his throat to report, and before the words fell, Zhu Cihong greeted him from the palace.

"Liu Qing, you're not dead! That's great! Zhu Cihong, dressed in regular clothes, stepped forward excitedly and pestled Liu Hong.

These days, Zhu Cihong is no different from living like a year, and the Song Shu of the North Korean Province was transmitted to him late at night more than ten days ago, and the officials of the General Administration Department received the Song Shu and handed it over to the first assistant Li Banghua without saying a word.

Li Banghua also panicked when he saw it, and he got up and entered the palace in the middle of the night, he knew that Zhu Cihong would not blame him, but if he didn't come immediately after receiving the song, it was likely that he would lose the black yarn on his head the next day.

After learning that Liu Hongjian was besieged, Zhu Cihong called the cabinet members to the palace overnight to discuss matters.

The second assistant Han Yu advocated immediately sending a naval division to support, while Zhang Tianlu, Cheng Zhi and others made it clear that this was a trick of the Dutch, and the Dutch had long been waiting for the Beiyang naval division to leave the Weihai Fort Group.

Even Han Yu was so anxious that he almost got into trouble with Zhang Tianlu, but in the end, Zhu Cihong overrode the public opinion and ordered the Beiyang Navy Division to go to support.

After that, there was anxious waiting, the army needed to prepare too much, even if the imperial court gave the green light all the way to the Beiyang Naval Division, it would still take ten days.

And in the past ten days, Zhu Cihong sent to Weihai, Shandong Province to supervise in person, he couldn't imagine where Daming would go if Liu Hong was gone.

He didn't think it before, but now that the Rakshasa Kingdom is leading an army of 180,000 to attack, if there is no Liu Hongchuan, who would he dare to send to meet it?

His father, the emperor, once told him that a general was incapable of exhausting the three armies, and after so many years of conscription and hard training, how could he rest assured that he would hand over these soldiers to others.

It wasn't until last night that Jinyiwei's people came to report that the king of Anguo had been rescued by the Koreans, that Zhu Cihong could be regarded as having a good night's sleep, and the next morning the dynasty immediately announced that he had exempted the Korean province from Tian Fu for two full years.

"What, does the emperor want me to die?" Looking at Zhu Cihong, who had become a little haggard, Liu Hong gradually patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Where, it's great that Liu Qing can come back, I definitely won't let you take such a risk in the future." Zhu Cihong said in fear.

"More than 1,500 soldiers were killed in the battle of the guard battalion and the sailor, they are all warriors of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope the emperor can give them the treatment they deserve." Liu Hong gradually sighed and said softly.

He knew that for Zhu Cihong, it didn't matter if he had a thousand people to die, and Zhu Cihong didn't care at all, and even felt that as long as he could come back, he would levy another two thousand.

But he had to say that for him the dead soldiers were unique, and even if he were given another two thousand or three thousand, the old ones would never come back, and the new faces would never replace the old ones.

For a soldier, the highest honor is the emperor's commendation and reward, which Liu Hongjian must strive for for his dead brothers.

"After the confinement of the Emperor, he decreed that all of them should be posthumously made barons of the Empire, and that their families be exempted from all taxes.

The Dutch deceived me too much, and I don't know when Liu Qing will go to attack the Netherlands. ”

Zhu Cihong really couldn't understand the pain in Liu Hongji's heart, but this did not affect Zhu Cihong's trust in Liu Hongji, but as long as Liu Hongji's proposal was not too much, Zhu Cihong would generally not refuse.

Sealing out more than a thousand barons at one time, if this matter is known to the courtiers, it will be an accusation, but Zhu Cihong has already seen these things thoroughly.

It's nothing more than a reputation for writing and sealing, and the ministers are just grape sour.

Considering Liu Hongji's mood, Zhu Cihong also took the initiative to propose a war against the Netherlands.

"The capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom has already hit the doorstep? Let's go to Holland? Liu Hong gradually knew that Zhu Cihong was thinking about his interests, but he could still distinguish which was more important.

"The imperial military has always been in charge of Liu Qing, and I just talk about it casually, but Polochi of Nachahar has been in the capital for a month." Zhu Cihong snorted and euphemistically expressed the evil deeds of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

In fact, if according to the meaning of Zhu Cihong or the cabinet, the Ming Dynasty would have sent troops to support Chahar, and Confucianism, which has always practiced the world with benevolence and righteousness, will definitely not sit idly by and watch the allies be destroyed.

It's just that Zhu Cihong has always remembered Liu Hong's instructions before leaving, so he repeatedly suppressed the plan to go on the expedition, compared to the Netherlands, Zhu Cihong also knew in his heart that Rakshasa was the enemy.

"Actually, there is no conflict, the Dutch are better than the navy and the fleet, but with all due respect, the army of the Ming Dynasty on land is not weaker than any country.

We might be able to start on land. Liu Hong said calmly.
