Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 575
"Your Majesty, this drawing..."

General Cheng Meng stopped talking.

"This is an inland waterway navigation drawing that I personally drew by taking a boat down. It has shoals and reefs marked on it, as well as some landmark buildings on both sides of the strait as references. You can use it with confidence."

Lu Hao responded loudly.

What?Was this drawing drawn by the emperor?
"Old minister, I will obey the emperor's will!"

General Cheng Meng carefully collected it.

"I am training [-] soldiers in Hengyang City to strengthen the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet in the future. It is estimated that these people will need about a month of training..."

"After these soldiers arrive, we must immediately start maritime training for them to ensure that they will have strong combat effectiveness in the future."

Lu Hao explained again.

Only then did General Cheng Meng realize that he had misunderstood the emperor. It turned out that he had already begun preparing elite troops for the Empire's Second Fleet in Hengyang City.

After receiving the order, the Imperial Household Secretary immediately allocated [-] million taels of silver to be injected into Crescent Port, making this quiet port lively again.

"Okay, the rest of the soldiers can leave. General Cheng Meng and General Cheng Li stay."

Lu Hao said loudly.

The other soldiers retired one after another, leaving only three people in the hall.

"What I am saying now is the empire's top secret. You two, father and son, must keep it secret."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, we father and son must keep it a secret!"

Cheng Meng and Cheng Li responded loudly.

"I believe you also know that the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy, under my leadership, crossed the Great Bay Strait, entered the Zheng Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom, and looted them as retaliation for their support of the southwest ethnic minorities."

"The gold, silver, jewelry and property we looted this time are worth 30 billion taels of silver, which greatly enriched the imperial treasury and also caused the two countries to receive the punishment they deserve."

Lu Hao said eloquently.

Cheng Meng and Cheng Li, father and son, nodded slightly, obviously they were fully aware of this matter.

"The matter of the ethnic minorities in the southwest has been settled. However, the ethnic minorities in the southeast were instigated by the Sui Empire and rebelled again. Therefore, I rushed to the Yunmeng Mountains and completely defeated the Zhuang people, causing the ethnic minorities headed by the Zhuang people to sign the " Treaty of Wancheng."

"Although I sent troops to attack the [-] troops that the Sui Empire had hoarded at the border, sooner or later, the Sui Empire will still have a battle with us..."

When Lu Hao said this, he paused slightly.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you say it, we will definitely keep it secret!"

General Cheng Meng said in a deep voice.

"Since the two empires will have a war sooner or later, we must prepare for a rainy day. Therefore, the purpose of reorganizing the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet is to one day enable the Second Fleet to land from Silver Moon City, the northern important town of the Sui Empire, to attack the Sui Empire. Conduct a land and sea pincer attack..."

Lu Hao finally got to the point.

What?Landing from Silvermoon City?A land and sea attack?
Cheng Meng and Cheng Li stared at Lu Hao dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

"Your Majesty, however, if the naval fleet goes south, it will have to pass through the Stormy Sea and the Thunder Sea. Our fleet has never sailed that far, and it is said that there are many shoals and reefs along the way. If you are not careful, you will die without any body parts!"

General Cheng Meng said with a grimace.

"Don't worry, I will personally lead the army when the time comes and ensure that you can land from Silver Moon City."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"If we really land from Silver Moon City, wouldn't we be able to follow the same pattern as the First Fleet and loot the most fertile Thunder Plain in the Sui Empire?"

General Cheng Li was very excited.

"You brat, the emperor is talking about attacking the Sui Empire's army. You just want to loot. You really deserve a beating!"

General Cheng Meng felt helpless that iron could not become steel.

"After the sea and land attack, it can't be looted."

Cheng Li muttered.

"Hehehe... General Cheng Li, it seems you are jealous of the First Fleet."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Your Majesty, I heard that they looted so many things, can I not be jealous?"

General Cheng Li was very frank.

"Two generals, do as I wish and ensure that you have the opportunity to loot in the future." Lu Hao smiled.

Next, General Cheng Meng arranged for Lu Hao to rest in a small attic in the backyard of the city lord's palace.

After all, Lu Hao had not slept for two days and two nights in order to draw the inland shipping blueprints, and now he was sleepy to death.

After lying down, Lu Haomei slept for a while until he was awakened by the sound of footsteps.

"Sister, keep your voice down, don't be discovered."

A little boy's voice sounded.

Lu Hao opened his eyes suddenly, the power of his soul spread out, and found an uninvited guest outside the backyard wall of the small attic.

"Xiao Hui, what does the emperor look like? Didn't you say you took a peek from a distance?"

A girl's voice sounded.

"Daddy didn't let me see it! I just took a sneak peek and thought he looked quite young and a bit tall..."

The little boy's voice sounded again.

"Okay, let's take a peek and leave so as not to be discovered."

My sister's voice sounded.

"Sister, I heard that the emperor lives on the second floor of the attic. We can't see it even if we go in like this!"

The little boy said with a grimace.

"Then what should we do? Otherwise, we can alert the enemy."

My sister suggested.

"How do you scare the snake?"

the younger brother asked.

"Simple, just watch!"

After my sister finished speaking, she picked up a stone and threw it directly towards the second floor window.

Lu Hao pretended to hear the sound, stood up and opened the window, just in time to see the two siblings on the opposite wall.

What came into view was a girl in a red skirt. She was about twenty years old. She was stunningly beautiful. She was actually a great beauty.

The smaller guy should be her brother, who is only about ten years old.

When the two saw the emperor sticking his head out, they were so frightened that they fell down from the wall.

At a glance, Lu Hao's eyesight was so good that he could see the two little guys clearly at once.

Perhaps the two people made too much noise, which alerted the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, who instantly surrounded them.

These guards were experts sent by General Cheng Meng to protect the emperor. The two siblings were caught making a mistake and were taken directly to the front hall.

"Cheng Yujie, Cheng Yuhui, tell me, why are you climbing the wall?"

Cheng Li asked loudly.

"Dad, we just went to see the emperor."

Cheng Yuhui responded with a grimace.

"Didn't I tell you that the emperor is resting and not to disturb him?"

Cheng Li was so angry that he really wanted to hit someone.

The emperor has not slept for two days and two nights in order to draw the inland navigation map. If you really wake up the emperor, it will be a death penalty!
Originally, the emperor attached great importance to the Cheng family, but now it's good that you have messed it up.

"Dad, don't blame Xiaohui. I wanted to see what the emperor looked like, so I asked him to lead the way."

Cheng Yujie quickly came out to rescue.

"You are talking about you! A girl from the family even went to peek at the emperor. If this spreads out, the Chen family will be completely embarrassed by you!"

Cheng Li looked at his daughter and yelled angrily.

"Daddy, we just took a look. The Emperor shouldn't be angry, right?"

Cheng Yujie looked bitter.
