In this way, Chen Qian'er kept refusing, and the ministers persuaded him kindly, one by one, and said that if she didn't hide the curtain, the Ming Dynasty would be unable to be saved. After repeating it three or four times in a row, Chen Qian'er reluctantly agreed.

Chen Qian'er has been in charge of the court for two months, and Yi Tusheng has been there twice. She found that she was doing a decent job, which is quite a bit like a female politician. However, in fact, she can't do anything at all. All military and national affairs must be approved by Yi Tusheng to take effect. Otherwise, no matter how much research is done, it will be useless. Although Yi Tusheng did not go to court, the government affairs are still firmly in his hands.

Two months have passed, and the ice and snow have bloomed from all over the country, gradually approaching the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

These days, Emperor Nishiwei has been constantly looking for Yi Tusheng to ask him to send troops to Japan as soon as possible. Yi Tusheng always delays on the grounds that the food and equipment have not been collected. Although it is delayed, it is actually a fact. It is not the rainy season yet. Whether the drought can pass is still unknown. Chan Joey Wong's chariot division is also progressing slowly. Since the two invented the chariot, there are only dozens of chariot divisions. Not to mention the chariot division, even if they want to form a chariot camp, it is probably not qualified. Yi Tusheng finally decided to form a chariot camp.

All the cannons and guns sent to conquer Zuo Liangyu a while ago were escorted back. After the work of Johann Chan in recent years, Yi Tusheng's rifle troops basically reached about 130,000. The Shenwu cannons and those who were dragged to some important places to defend the city and defend the city were about 5,000. This was an astronomical figure that was absolutely exaggerated in the society at that time. If such heavy weapons were transported to the battlefield, they would produce inestimable power.

In addition, in order to expand its power overseas, Yi Tusheng has never given up building heavy gunboats. At present, the Ming Dynasty's fleet can steadily rank first in the world and is the most powerful fleet in the world. The Ming Dynasty's fleet now has 500 sail gunboats, and the steam engine iron gunboats have also developed to 200. This is already very fast for an era when handicrafts are not very developed. Not only did Yi Tusheng mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources, but the Ministry of Revenue invested countless military expenditures to reach such a scale. However, Yi Tusheng also knew that there were not many places to deal with the *** this time, because the *** in the shogunate era was basically closed-door, behind in the country's technology and people's livelihood, and the weapons were backward, and they could not be compared with Western powers. Of course, Westerners were not called the great power at this time, especially after being hit by Yi Tusheng, they were even more ruined.

Yi Tusheng is quite satisfied with this number. At least it should be very easy for him to deal with *** now, and it can be said that it is not difficult.

On this day, Emperor Nishio found Yi Tusheng again. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. Yi Tusheng had been persuaded to pull him up, but Nishio sat in Yi Tusheng's room and sighed, which made Yi Tusheng very annoyed. The huge man, the huge emperor, almost wiped his tears.

"Prince, my country is getting more and more chaotic. The Oda family, Toyotomi family, Tokugawa family, and five elders, each occupying the city and disobeying the central leadership. They conquer cities and set fire every day, causing chaos in the world. The people are living and dead and injured in countless lives. Tokyo has completely become an unmanned land. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are dead bodies everywhere, and barren land everywhere. Four-fifths of the strong men devote themselves to military power. Every day, no one farms, and the food is getting less and less. It has reached the point of eating human flesh. You said that the disaster in Guanzhong is very powerful, but it is actually much better than Japan. Although Japan has no natural disasters, man-made disasters are thousands of times more powerful than natural disasters."

Yi Tusheng pondered for a moment, rolled his eyes, took a breath, and smiled bitterly: "After you say this, I can't send troops to Japan even more rashly, because you Japan now has no food, and even if we want to rob, I can't grab it. This time I plan to mobilize the forces of 200,000 troops across the country to fight for you. 200,000 people, the food consumed every day is definitely an astronomical number. I can't let my soldiers go to Japan to eat human flesh. If so many people eat human flesh, I'm afraid you Japanese people will turn into pork ribs!"

"But, but, when do you want me to wait? Now that your chariot battalion has been prepared, my money is ready for you at any time. You can't drag it down indefinitely." Emperor Nishio jumped up in a hurry and kept walking on the ground. This sentence was quite rude, because he suspected that Yi Tusheng had no sincerity to send troops for him.

"Xiweijun, don't worry, I won't take it off indefinitely. I will tell you now when I will send troops, but not the specific time. I can only tell you that if the rainy season comes and the drought in Guanzhong is alleviated, then we will send troops immediately. In that case, I can bring some of the food to go there first, and wait until the grain is harvested in three months and then transport it to the battlefield continuously. We must make long-term plans. This is the basic quality that a strategist should have."

"What if it doesn't rain in Guanzhong when the rainy season comes?!" Emperor Nishio almost grabbed his hair in an anxious manner. He sat on the chair, holding his face and stopped talking, and was so worried that he could have said something Yi Tusheng could basically guess what he could say.

Sure enough, Yi Tusheng licked his lips and said, "That's not easy to deal with. To be honest, Xiwei Jun. According to my observation, if the drought in the Ming Dynasty cannot be solved next year, it will definitely develop more severely. Not only will Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei and Shanxi be affected, it is likely that the disaster will spread to Shandong and most areas south of the Yangtze River. That is a severe drought of a nationwide nature. Countless people will die tragically, countless wealthy families will be penniless, the backbone of the Ming Dynasty will be broken, and my father, the regent, will be in great difficulty. Therefore, I must stay in the country to dig wells to provide disaster relief. I will definitely not care about your affairs. You can't go to someone else's house to put out the fire before the fire has been extinguished."

"No, the drought in the Ming Dynasty will definitely pass, and it will definitely not be as serious as the prince said. I firmly believe in this, because the prince is a person with great luck, otherwise he would not defeat his enemies continuously. This time, the prince will still defeat the drought in the Ming Dynasty with his own luck. Please rest assured." There was no curse, and Emperor Nishio began to fold his hands together and pray to the sky, begging the gods to bless the drought in the Ming Dynasty and bless him to successfully restore the country.

"Since this is the case, Emperor Nishio will not come here during this period. Just look at the weather. Once it rains, I will never break my promise and go back."

Emperor Nishio originally wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it carefully, what Yi Tusheng said just now was indeed very reasonable, and there was no other way except to go back and wait, so he bowed and said, "Please, Tushengjun!" Yi Tusheng nodded and watched him leave the hall.

Yi Tusheng looked back at a picture of Huang Tingjian's Fuchun Mountain residence hanging in the middle of the hall. This painting is priceless and countless people dreamed of. It was given to him by a big businessman. Yi Tusheng said to himself: "It would be great if there was a weather forecast. I don't know when the drought will come back. It's really deadly."
