The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

But Emperor Xinglong still bent over the imperial desk, writing quickly.

Dai Quan held a bowl of porridge and looked at Emperor Xinglong who was diligently reviewing the memorials with a weeping face.

With a weeping look,

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark. Please eat a little."

"You've only just recovered. If you don't eat, how can you survive in the long run?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xinglong glanced at Dai Quan slightly, and then continued to review the memorial in his hand.

He smiled and said,

"You little dog slave! You're really nosy!"

Dai Quan said with a pleading look,

"Your Majesty, I dare not! I only beg you to eat at least a little, no matter what."

Emperor Xinglong said without even raising his head,

"Okay, you old stuff center, just put it there for now. I can't eat it right now."

"Your Majesty..."

Dai Quan wanted to say something else, but Emperor Xinglong frowned and said,

"Leave it there. I'll have dinner after I finish reviewing this pile of memorials."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Dai Quan wiped his tears helplessly and responded.

The porridge was then placed on the stove and simmered.

Then he walked respectfully to the imperial desk again, bowed slightly and stood there to serve.

Emperor Xinglong concentrated on reviewing the memorial for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something.

Turning his head to look at Dai Quan, he asked,

"Does the Shadow Division know how many armies there are and where they are now?"

Dai Quan was a powerful eunuch beside Emperor Xinglong.

Naturally, I know what Emperor Xinglong cares about most every day, and I also know what he is asking.

After hearing this, Dai Quan, who had been prepared for this, bowed slightly and spoke without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from the day before yesterday, the 30,000 troops from Fujian have arrived in Yanzhou Prefecture, joining forces with the newly assembled 80,000 troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They have now, unsurprisingly, reached Huizhou Prefecture."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xinglong nodded in satisfaction and looked much more relaxed.

"It's only been a month since the imperial edict left the capital, and the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian regions have gone from being completely unprepared to immediately calling up troops. Such a swift response is truly heartening!"

This is not Emperor Xinglong deliberately praising anything, but the current information transmission is underdeveloped.

From the time the imperial edict reached these places, even if it was an express delivery of 800 miles, it would still take half a month from Shenjing to Fujian.

In addition to the army's response, the march was not as expedited as 800 miles. An army of tens of thousands could march 50 miles a day, and they were all elite troops.

Furthermore, Emperor Xinglong is fully aware of the current military situation of Daqian.

Even in the Beijing camp right under the nose of the capital, there are countless people who are eating the empty salaries and sucking the blood of the soldiers.

Not to mention the other generations whose emperor is far away.

That is why Emperor Xinglong was always thinking about reforming the military system as soon as possible after he ascended the throne.

But he was always suppressed by his father, who had already abdicated the throne.

After putting his thoughts aside, Emperor Xinglong said to Dai Quan,

"Issue a decree of praise!"

The rapid response of troops from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian this time was probably due to the efforts of my father.

The food and mobilization of the 30,000-strong army must have cost a lot of money, so a few words of verbal praise are well deserved.

Military system!

Emperor Xinglong sighed lightly, and then he lost interest in reviewing the memorials. He placed his brush on the pen holder on the imperial desk, turned to look at Dai Quan and asked,

"What about the Huguang area?"

Dai Quan bowed and replied,

"Five days ago, a total of 120,000 troops from Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces met in Guangzhou Prefecture. Now, several days have passed, and it is possible that they have already arrived in Chuzhou Prefecture along the Huai River."

"Okay! Okay!"

Emperor Xinglong nodded in satisfaction, his face flushed with joy, and he said,

"Once the army from Jiangsu and Zhejiang arrives at Hefu Prefecture, I will order Wang Ziteng to march north immediately and march towards Yangzhou in three directions!"

"As long as the rebels in Yangzhou are completely wiped out, I will not be ashamed of the people of the world. However, the people of Yangzhou will suffer."

Looking at Emperor Xinglong who was quite self-blaming,

Dai Quan wiped the tears from his eyes and shook his head and said,

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things again."
