Thousands of miles away, the situation in Japan's outer sea and north of Ryukyu is changing.
The main force of the Japanese Navy is fighting fiercely with the Shogunate Navy for control of the sea.
The commander behind this conflict is entering the Shidao Zhao Mansion at this time.
Zhao Lie entered the study in a dusty state.
He had just participated in the preparation of the army in the military camp.
Today, the army was finally formed.
From then on, Zhao Lie's nearly 4,000 troops were finally able to organize the army and go on the expedition.
The infantry, artillery, cavalry, and night troops are all ready.
Judging from the clean-up training today, they are quite impressive.
However, Zhao Lie knows in his heart that without experiencing the tempering of battle formations, one cannot become an iron-blooded warrior.
When Zhao Lie entered the house, he planned to take a shower and change clothes, and then check on the two children.
The children could already stand and walk around for a while, and could even call their mother vaguely.
It was the most lovable time, and it was a must-have for Zhao Lie to go back home and play with his children.
The guards knew him well today.
Du Li came here an hour ago and left after waiting for half an hour.
Zhao Lie knew that something must have been left in the study and kept by Li Lin.
Nowadays, Li Lin is a transfer station.
Many letters and letters are kept by her when Zhao Lie is away.
She is equivalent to an assistant in later generations, and she is also a beautiful assistant.
Every day she clocked in, went to the Zhao Mansion, met with the old lady and Alexandra, and then went to the study to tidy up.
After finishing her work, she would read quietly here.
Sometimes Zhao Qin and Alexandra came to see her.
Chatting, I also come here to find her.
It is said that Zhao Lie's study has become Li Lin's exclusive room.
When Zhao Lie entered the room, Li Lin was cleaning the bookshelf on the right, which was originally very neat.
Zhao Lie rushed back from the Acropolis yesterday afternoon to review the soldiers, and read here at night, so he casually let it go.
The study was clean and tidy and disappeared without a trace.
Li Lin may or may not have heard it.
She had her back to the door and was rearranging the second shelf of books.
It was early summer.
Li Lin's meager moon-white hair was stretched tightly on his waist, showing a graceful arc from the side, while a few strands of hair hung gracefully on his slender and white neck.
And the slightly exposed buttocks draw an arc that makes people daydream.
Zhao Lie couldn't help but be stunned and quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.
Suppress some kind of intention.
Alas, no wonder heroes have always struggled with beauty.
It’s really a torture.
"Ahem."
Zhao Lie cleared his throat anyway, no peeping, no peeping.
"My lord is back."
Li Lin turned around and bowed slightly, his fair cheeks turning slightly red.
"Just came in.
Just came in."
Zhao Lie stumbled a bit.
My face also felt hot, but fortunately my skin tone was darker and I couldn't see it.
Li Lin's eyes were slightly surprised, and then he smiled intelligently.

He understood something in an instant, and couldn't help but blush.
A pair of white jade hands presented a letter.
Zhao Lie hurriedly took it with his hand and came to sit behind the case.
His heart was full of emotions, but as he read the letter, his expression calmed down.
Du Li made several points in his mind.
First, the reason why the Ministry of War named the Weihai Navy to fight this time was due to his cousin Yang Jingtang’s contribution.
He was even the one who proposed and contacted the army.
Second, in mid-March, Liu Xingzhi, who had overwhelming power on Pi Island, was conspired to be executed by Shen Shikui, Liu Xingzhi's younger brother Liu Xingji, and others.
Pi Island once again fell into chaos without a leader.
Huang Long, the Dongjiang general appointed by the imperial court, was previously rejected by Liu Xingzhi and could not land on the island at all.
He could only stay in Lushun.
At this time, he took the opportunity to send his deputy Zhang Tao to Pi Island to integrate.
However, after two years of constant chaos.
There are only two or three soldiers left in Pidao, and they are completely in decline.
Third, Huang Taiji had already sent six thousand Jiannu and Han troops led by Huang Taiji to drive directly to Yizhou.
The target is Pidao, trying to take advantage of the turmoil on Pidao to take down the southern trouble in one fell swoop.
Zhao Lie held the letter in his right hand and looked at the opposite wall, silently, as if falling asleep.
Li Lin, who had experienced this situation many times, knew that Zhao Lie had entered a state of deep thought again.
This situation is uncertain and often lasts for a long time, but once it was just a cup of tea and it was over.
Li Lin privately speculated that Zhao Lie was thinking about countermeasures.
At this time, she quietly sat on a chair, picked up a book, and started reading.
She just had to wait, wait, and wait for Zhao Lie's decision.
The room was extremely quiet for a moment, as if there was no one around.
In Zhao Lie's memory, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others turned Denglai upside down.
The original cause was the Battle of Daling River, where Huang Taiji besieged Zu Dashou and more than 10,000 of his men.
The Ming Dynasty had no choice but to send troops to assist, but the nearby Liao Town soldiers failed to assist, so they had to continue to mobilize troops.
Wherever they could mobilize troops, it would be Denglai, the second largest military town after Liao Town.
The food and salary in Denglai was eighty-eight dollars a year.
One hundred thousand taels, even though it’s on paper.
Kong Youde rebelled on the road.
Zhao Lie had no idea whether he rebelled at sea or on land.
Okay, now what is before Zhao Lie is how he should deal with it.
After Kong Youde rebelled, he captured many prefectures and counties in Shandong, burned, killed and looted, creating millions of refugees and turning many places into white land.
Zhao Lie's question was whether to defeat Kong Youde in one fell swoop when he rebelled against Denglai, or to delay.
After Kong Youde's uprising, the imperial court should have sent troops to suppress it, but it must have failed, otherwise the rebellion would not have lasted for such a long time.
Zhao Lie can extinguish it in one fell swoop, but what will Zhao Lie get?
The emperor will be even more wary because of his well-trained soldiers.
The other Ming armies have been defeated repeatedly, and they will be wiped out in one fell swoop when they come to you, haha.
I'm afraid that if Zhao Lie becomes even more wary, the situation of the Polu army will become more dangerous.
This would cause him to lose a lot of opportunities and affect the overall plan.
In the end, it would not be Ming Ting or Zhao Lie who would benefit, but Jian Nu, who would get away from the incident and reap the benefits.
It would be good if Kong Youde was allowed to cause trouble. . . .
Zhao Lie found that he couldn't even get rid of all the refugees.
The large number of refugees was what Beihua urgently needed.
Now it was the limit to draw tens of thousands of water infantry from the 300,000 Liao people, and Beihua still had large areas of wasteland waiting to be reclaimed.

If Kong Youde defeated the Ming army, he would of course lose the imperial military strength.
If he finally suppressed the rebellion, his strength would make the imperial court afraid to act rashly and could only appease him.
Two years of rest and recuperation would be enough.
And there are countless acres of rice and grain that can be obtained during the war.
But this was a matter involving millions of lives.
Zhao Lie seemed to have seen the fire burning all over Denglai, and the beast soldiers were looting without any scruples.
Zhao Lie's chest seemed to be filled with fire and water, constantly attacking his body, leaving him struggling with this choice.
What kind of choice is this?
It’s too heavy.
Li Lin was reading quietly, and gradually she heard heavy breathing.
She took a peek and saw Zhao Lie's chest rising and falling violently, his face changing, his expression cold and stern, even a bit like gnashing of teeth, something she had never seen before.
Li Lin looked at Zhao Lie worriedly, but Zhao Lie was not aware of it and was still staring at the opposite side with a painful expression.
Li Lin stood up gently and gently brought a cup of fragrant tea to Zhao Lie, "Sir, please have some tea."
Zhao Lie suddenly fell into a dream and turned to look at Li Lin, his eyes sharp and fierce.
Li Linyu stroked her red lips with her hand, "Wow."
Zhao Lie saw the shock in Li Lin's beautiful eyes and the look of shock on his face, and he suddenly realized.
He hurriedly put his hands on his face, stood up and said, "I frightened Miss Li.
Please forgive me for my sin."
"It's nothing wrong.
I just see that the adults are too worried and the little girl can't help, so I feel very guilty."
Li Lin smiled sweetly, her face blooming like a flower.
"I'm ashamed.
There are tens of millions of people on one side, but in the past few years, millions of people on the other side are right in front of us.
We can't have both.
It's really a dilemma."
Zhao Lie shook his head helplessly.
"Oh," Li Lin put his hands on his chest in surprise.
I can't blame the adults for being so entangled.
If it was what others said, Li Lin would just laugh it off.
But if Zhao Lie said it, it is probably true.
Everything Zhao Lie said in the past few years now seems to be absolutely true.
So is there really such a shocking choice?
"Sir, can't you have both?"
Li Lin's eyes widened, and his face was pale with a tangled expression.
"It's because I can't have both.
That's why I'm so helpless.
I can only choose one or the other."
Zhao Lie shook his head helplessly.
He took a few steps forward and opened the window sash, making the room less stuffy.
Li Lin looked at the tall and strong figure in front of the window with beautiful eyes, and felt sad for it.
He also hesitated, weighing up and down, what should his family do.
I couldn't help but feel lost and speechless, it was too difficult, but it seemed that the answer was clear, millions are still more people than millions, but after all, they are all choices of human life.
At this time, Li Lin discovered her naivety.
In the past, when she saw those dog officials being greedy and derelict in their duties without scruples, she hated that she was a daughter who could not be born into the world and serve as a minister for the people.
Now when this bloody choice was placed in front of her, she suddenly found that she was trapped in it and had no choice.

It’s really easy to watch and difficult to get into the game.
Zhao Lie looked at the gloomy early summer scenery in the courtyard, his depression a little lessened, and he sneered in his heart.
In fact, as a latecomer, it should be a good choice.
After all, if the emperor is tabooed now, the imperial court's strength is still intact, and he does not get Dingkou, Then he can only be trapped in a corner at most.
A few years later, when Jian Nu galloped across the country, he could only inflict heavy losses on Jian Nu, but he could not build up his foundation.
After all, in the end, the Eight Banners soldiers only acted as a suppressor, and the actual number of people fighting in the battle was hundreds of thousands.
It’s the Han military flag.
Then the answer is right in front of you.
You can only choose to strike later.
There is no other choice.
Alas, it is so hypocritical.
You, Zhao Lie, do not have the strength to take care of both sides.
Zhao Lie gave a wry smile and turned back to the desk.
Well, he saw Li Lin's beautiful eyes looking directly at him, and his heart moved slightly, "Ahem, Miss Li."
Li Lin suddenly fell into a dream, looked at Zhao Lie, and immediately turned around.
At this time, her face was full of shame.
Why was she looking directly at Zhao Lie like this?
It was so embarrassing.
Zhao Lie was happy in his heart.
He was deeply in love with the beautiful woman.
If anyone didn't like it, it would be pretentious.
He also had worries.
It was difficult to explain to the family.
Of course, this was also the worry of happiness.
Tuk-tuk, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Zhao Lie said seriously.
The guards came in to report, and Denglai Commander-in-Chief You Shilu sent someone to come.
Five days later, the generals gathered in Dengzhou to discuss
