In the Beijing study, Min Ruoying laughed happily and looked at Zuo Xiangma Xiangdong: "Left Prime Minister, Ma Xiangnan's mission was very good, very good, I am very satisfied."

Ma Xiangdong smiled reservedly. If the person on the mission was not his brother, he would naturally praise him. But Ma Xiangnan would not say much.

"This is all his majesty's plan. Xiangnan just read the script. I was worried before that he would draw a cat like a tiger, but now it seems that I'm in vain."

"If we take down Baoqing Port, our next plan will be implemented smoothly." Min Ruoying stood up excitedly and walked to the wall. The eunuch Yang Zhong, who was standing in the corner, quickly pulled open the curtain on the wall, and a map of the entire wall was presented in front of everyone.

Min Ruoying held a cinnabar pen in her hand and placed red heavily on Baoqing, an originally remote and inconspicuous small place. She threw away the cinnabar pen and looked at the bright spot with her hands behind her back. The more she looked, the more proud she became.

The small Baoqing, a small county town located in a remote area of ​​Yue Kingdom, may become a fulcrum for him to leverage the behemoth of Qi Kingdom and become his own victory or defeat in this war related to the fate of the country. How can he not be excited?

"Ma Xiang, how long will it take to complete the cleaning and reconstruction of the original port of Baoqing?" Turning around, he looked at Ma Xiangdong.

"Your Majesty, the cleaning work can be completed in about three months. According to the information detected by the inner guard, Baoqing Port was just abandoned. Although the original facilities have either collapsed or decayed, the important foundation is all. In about three months, our large cargo ship in Dachu can dock, and it will take at least one year to achieve a scale that meets our requirements."

"A year?" Min Ruoying pondered silently.

"Your Majesty, a year is the fastest time that my ministers have predicted. After all, it is not the territory of our Great Chu. Some things cannot be made big, they can only hide them, and they also have to hold Moro's flag." Ma Xiangdong said.

"It's one year!" Min Ruoying smiled in disguise. She was really anxious. How could this battle against Qi be able to win a victory or defeat in three to five years?

"Moro, we still have to support him strongly." Min Ruoying said: "His existence is very important to us now. We not only need to help him consolidate his rule in Changyang County, but also help him expand Shayang County." Speaking of this, Min Ruoying couldn't help but shake his head, "This Moro is a genius in martial arts cultivation, but it is really not a good thing to lead the army to fight. Hundreds of thousands of people, but there is no way to take a Shayang County city. A partial army of tens of thousands of people was defeated by a two or three thousand troops of Qi. It is really disappointing."

"The rabble has met an elite trained troops, which is generally the case." Cheng Wubendao, sitting in the corner of the study. Cheng Wuben originally wanted to resign, but he was promoted by Min Ruoying and was given the title of political affairs in the Ministry of War. However, he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to leave. He should not be too ignorant of being a human being, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for someone like Min Ruoying to be angry.

Cheng Wuben originally ran to work in the Ministry of War with the idea of ​​being a monk for one day and hitting the clock for one day. Based on the principle that more things are worse than less, he was scammers in the Ministry of War. However, this person is a typical guy who can't rub sand in his eyes and can't stand it. After less than three or five days of ease, he began to point fingers at the affairs of the Ministry of War. Min Ruoying, a single book he wrote, would never reject it, which made Cheng Wuben feel embarrassed. Of course, it also made Jia Zhengdao, the Minister of War, even more embarrassed.

"Mr. Cheng is right. Moluo's so-called army is a group of mobs, but he is too bad, but it is not good for us. Mr. Cheng, what can I do to improve the combat effectiveness of Moluo's army? At least we must let him hold on until our layout is completed!" Min Ruoying looked at Cheng Wuben.

Cheng Wuben spread his hands, "Your Majesty, this old minister has no choice, unless we can send some people to help him train the army, but the problem is, even if we are willing to help him, will he accept it? Looking at the information sent back by Ma Xiangnan, Moro is still very sensitive to military power. His number one King Kong Wu Xin, hasn't he just stood aside now? He was punished to go to farm. To put it bluntly, it is not a question of control over the army."

"Your Majesty, I have a way. I don't know if it is feasible?" Yang Qing, the commander of the inner guard, stood up and said.

"Oh, what's your solution?" Min Ruoying asked.

"There are a large number of candidates specially trained for other countries. These people are extremely strong in terms of personal qualities and military qualities. It is better for us to secretly send these people back and let them join Molo's army in various names. With their abilities, they will soon be able to make a name for themselves in Molo's army. Even if they can only become some small leaders, it will be enough to transform the troops they command. More importantly, in the future, we will gain a foothold in Baoqing, and they can play a greater role with just a call." Yang Qing said.

"This idea is good!" Min Ruoying was overjoyed, "You should start doing this matter immediately. Zuo Prime Minister, please contact Ma Xiangnan and ask him to talk to Mo Luo. Isn't he already worried about Wu Xin? Then we are willing to send an officers' regiment to train the troops for him. After training a group, we will rotate an officers regiment, which will definitely not affect his control over the army. Mr. Cheng, you can pick one in the Ministry of War and pick out some veterans with excellent qualities to do this."

Cheng Wuben nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, if Ma Xiangnan's matter can be accomplished and combined with the plan Yang Qing mentioned, there is really no way for us to control Moro's army."

Min Ruoying laughed, "This is correct. Take your time. Since Baoqing has returned to us, Moro's army will eventually become ours."

"If we can successfully open up a second battlefield and even force Yue to join the Anti-Qi Alliance again, this battle between our Great Chu and Qi is related to the fate of the country will have great hope." Cheng Wuben murmured.

"Mr. Cheng finally understands my intention. If Molo can accomplish things with our help, of course, the premise is that Molo's army will eventually be controlled by us, then we can cut off the connection between Yuejing and Qi. At that time, Yuejing will inevitably be unable to support it under the attack of Molo's army and Qin's army. At that time, we will extend our hand to pull him and force him to return to the anti-Qi camp and re-form the overall situation of the three countries' attack on Qi together. Mr. Cheng, I am not just a silly and rude person, I have thought about many things carefully. Mr. Cheng, I will leave this matter to you to preside over the opening of the second battlefield. Are you willing to fight for the Great Chu? I really hope that our Chu State iron wall will have another name called Chu State iron mall, hahaha!"

Cheng Wuben was stunned. His subconscious words actually attracted Min Ruoying's big hat to smash it down, and he actually threw the matter of opening up the second battlefield to himself.

"This?" He couldn't help but hesitate.

"Old Cheng!" Ma Xiangdong, who was the most observant of his appearance, immediately beat the snake and rod. "Your Majesty has done his best. I hope Mr. Cheng will experience it more. In fact, as Mr. Cheng said, we are indeed at a disadvantage compared to Qi on the front battlefield of Kunling Pass. However, if we can successfully open up the second battlefield and have veterans like Mr. Cheng take action, we will definitely be caught off guard by the Qi Kingdom and lay a good foundation for our great cause of unification of the world. Mr. Cheng, please think twice for the sake of the Great Chu. This matter is extremely complicated and requires comprehensive coordination between our various departments of the Great Chu to work together. Only veterans like Mr. Cheng take action can be convinced by all parties and dare not slackew!"

"Yes, that's true." Jia Zhengdao, the Minister of War, was reluctant to push Cheng Wuben, the Ministry of War, earlier. With Cheng Wuben staying in the Ministry of War, he was really uncomfortable to take him as the Minister of War. Everything has to be seen by the old guy. He got out of the Ministry of War so that he could truly be the leader.

Cheng Wuben knew that he could not get out of this pit. No matter what, he was still the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Great Chu, the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Min Ruoying, who was quite good to him. Compared to Yang Yihe, he fell into honey. If he was really not tactful, he would probably end up badly.

What's more, are you willing to see the failure of Da Chu? No, no matter who becomes the emperor, I hope to see Da Chu become the number one in the world.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up, clasped his fists and saluted Min Ruoying: "Since Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, the old minister will reluctantly do it. If there is any mistake in the behavior, Your Majesty can replace me as soon as possible."

Min Ruoying laughed: "What's wrong with the veteran?" Seeing that Cheng Wuben finally surrendered with his unremitting efforts, he also fell into a big stone in his heart. Cheng Wuben's surrender represents the complete return of the eastern border army, and he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Cheng Wuben's prestige in the army is too high, but unlike Zuo Lixing, who was just famous in the west.

"Your Majesty, there is another thing that Your Majesty should also answer to the Qin people." Seeing that Min Ruoying was in high spirits, Ma Xiangdong thought to strike while the iron was hot. "For us, the matter of the eldest princess of Qin married into our Great Chu, this is an excellent thing for us, and it is also conducive to the stability of the next alliance between our two countries. The old minister knows that Your Majesty has a strong relationship with the Empress, but this matter is related to the national affairs, and Your Majesty can no longer hesitate."

"I will discuss this matter with the queen!" Min Ruoying paused and said.
