, and doing so naturally caught Japan off guard.

The expedition to Japan was divided into water battles and land battles. Only if the water battles were won, could one land on the four Japanese islands. Naturally, the choice of commander-in-chief of the naval forces was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is about to get married to his little sister, and as his brother-in-law, Ying Hao naturally wants to send a congratulatory gift.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the Qingzhou Navy and one of the thirty-six founding princes of the Qin Dynasty, Zhou Yu was already qualified to marry Princess Ying Xuewu of Huayang.

In the early morning, Ying Hao shouted to the ministers below: "Where is Zhou Yu?"

"The end will be here."

"Zhou Yu, I have appointed you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Hebei Navy, in charge of all Hebei's naval forces, as well as supervising the construction of warships and other important tasks.

Within the next year, I want you to expand the Great Qin navy to 50,000 men and build a fleet capable of transporting an army of 100,000 men.

Can it be done?”

Da Qin originally had two naval forces, the Yellow River Navy and the Jingzhou Navy, but now the Yellow River Navy has been merged into the Qingzhou Navy, and the Jingzhou Navy has been almost wiped out. Now there is only one navy in the country, the Qingzhou Navy.

The Qingzhou navy originally numbered 30,000, but it suffered a lot in the Youzhou battle. Now there are only 20,000 troops left.

Doubling the size of the army and building a fleet to transport 100,000 people within one year is not an easy task at all.

When they heard that Ying Hao was planning to expand the navy, the civil and military officials who didn't know the truth were a little confused.

After the Qin army has recuperated, its next strategic target will also be Guanxi and the Central Plains. Since the main focus of attacking these two places is cavalry, why should they expand the navy army instead?

Could it be that my lord is already preparing for sending troops to conquer the south of the Yangtze River in the future? But this is probably a little too early. All the generals thought this in their minds.

Zhou Yu didn't know that Ying Hao was going to conquer Japan, but without the slightest hesitation, he knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Zhou Yu is willing to issue a military order. If he cannot complete the task, he is willing to come and see you."

"I don't want your head, otherwise that girl Xue Wu will be a widow." Ying Hao said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the audience. Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed when he laughed, and Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yu with even more relief.
