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

Chapter 948 The army opens

In the square outside Zhengyang Palace, all the commanders and generals of the four major legions were present.

Lu Hao climbed up the tower and looked at the soldiers standing upright below, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

After all, the Central Army of the Chinese Empire was invincible and invincible. Although it relied on advanced weapons, its soldiers were also very able to endure hardships and even conducted many thousands-mile raids.

Lu Hao led his army into the Western Region this time, hoping to complete his victory in one battle and completely wipe out the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu.

"Greetings to the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

All the soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

"Soldiers, today, you are about to go on an expedition. I am here to see you off. But don't worry, I will also join you in the expedition to the Western Regions. I will lead you to conquer the entire Western Region! Destroy the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu !”

Lu Hao's voice was majestic and he was definitely not joking.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

All the generals roared loudly with murderous intent.

"For this expedition to the Western Region, I have equipped you with enough ammunition and the most advanced submachine guns..."

Lu Hao said, taking a submachine gun, pointing it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.

Da da da……

The submachine gun spurted out tongues of flame, and the extremely powerful firepower stunned all the soldiers.

"Have you seen it? The lethality of this submachine gun is enough to tear apart any enemy. Of course, there are even more terrifying mortars!"

Lu Hao waved his hand, and the mortar in the distance roared, and the artillery target in the distance was blown to pieces.

All the generals looked at such a terrifying weapon, and they were all excited and shouting, as if they had been given blood.

"These advanced weapons, as well as the most advanced grenades, will provide you with strong support on the battlefield. I hope you can bring out the power of these weapons, clear all obstacles, and conquer the entire Western Region."

Lu Hao said loudly.

"Conquer the Western Region! Conquer the Western Region!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Drink!"

Lu Hao shouted loudly.

Bowls of fine wine were brought up, and the soldiers held their glasses high.

"Soldiers, I am here to serve you. I hope you can make new achievements and return in triumph! Let's do it!"

Lu Hao raised his wine and said loudly.

"It's done! It's done..."

All drank it down.

"The army moves out!"

Lu Hao roared loudly.

All the generals marched towards the west gate in unison.

Lu Hao was very fast. Naturally, he would not set out in such a panic. Instead, he would wait for the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet and load military supplies onto the ship before preparing to leave for the Western Region.

Just like this, one day later, the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet, led by General Cheng Li, finally slowly sailed into the port of Yandi City.

This inland port is the only port built in the city in the empire. From here, you can pass through the Grand Canal, go down the Pearl River, directly to Qiongzhou Port in the south, and then head towards the Western Region from the South China Sea.

Having not experienced the baptism of war for so long, these newly trained sailors and marines do not know how much combat effectiveness they have.

However, they relied on the cannons on the ship to hit all the port cities along the coast from a distance of two kilometers.

Of course, as the Empire's logistics transport ship, the Second Fleet is responsible for escorting guns and ammunition, which is very suitable. It can also be used as a reserve force.

Lu Hao stood on the pier and brought Cheng Yujie and his family to greet General Cheng Li.

Lu Hao did not pursue too much into the matter of old General Cheng Meng handing over power to Cheng Li. Instead, he felt that Cheng Li was Cheng Yujie's father and there was nothing wrong with him being in charge of the Second Fleet.Cheng Yujie was pregnant now, but when she saw her father's warship arriving, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"Yujie, be careful. Are you pregnant with a child?"

Lu Hao greeted quickly.

"Your Majesty, father is on that boat."

Cheng Yujie pointed forward.

Lu Hao also turned his head to look, and sure enough he spotted General Cheng Li's figure, and suddenly showed a smile.

"welcome……"

The crowd on the port pier cheered.

Lu Hao knew that this was an arrangement by the Imperial Ministry of War, and it was also to liven up the atmosphere and give the officers and men of the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet a strong sense of belonging.

Sure enough, when all the soldiers saw so many people coming to drink with them, they were all moved, and many soldiers shed tears of excitement.

General Cheng Li and his generals came in neat steps.

"The general will lead all the generals of the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet to pay homage to the Emperor! Pay homage to the Empress!"

General Cheng Li and others knelt on one knee and bowed.

"Be flat!"

Lu Hao smiled and gestured.

"Daughter pays respects to Daddy!"

Cheng Yujie quickly saluted her father.

"Hehehe... You are an empress now, and you are still pregnant, so don't be too polite!"

General Cheng Li laughed happily.

"Dad, grandpa is here."

Cheng Yujie looked behind and pointed at the old man.

General Cheng Li quickly stepped forward to greet the old man. Many people sent flowers to the general, and the scene became lively.

The Cheng family father and son chatted with the emperor for a few words, and Lu Hao began to explain the mission of the trip.

Of course, the most important thing is that guns and ammunition need to be loaded onto the ship and transported away. These materials are carried on the ship by the logistics force and are responsible for safety management, while the fleet only provides transportation.

These military supplies will be transported to Pulu Port, and then wait for the army to capture Lia City to achieve a material transfer.

Of course, this also depends on the consumption of guns and ammunition of each legion, and then adjustments and arrangements are made for replenishment.

This time, the shipment of military supplies was to serve as the general reserve of the entire army, and it also had to cross the Great Bay Strait. Although there were navigation charts, the journey was still very difficult because of the long distance.

Therefore, Lu Hao let the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet rest for three days before setting off again, so that the soldiers could feel the atmosphere of the imperial capital.

The biggest reason was to allow General Cheng Li to stay in the imperial capital for a few more days to spend time with his family and make up for the Spring Festival.

Cheng Yujie seemed very excited because of her father's arrival, and she insisted that Lu Hao entertain his father in person.

Lu Hao couldn't do anything about her, or he doted on her, and he actually agreed to entertain General Cheng Li and the generals of the Second Fleet of the Navy at a banquet in the palace tonight.

Cheng Yujie happily went home with her father and grandfather, leaving Lu Hao on the carriage.

However, seeing how happy she was, Lu Hao didn't say anything more. He just told her to be careful to protect the child and not to cause fetal contractions.

The sky gradually dimmed.

Changqing Palace is in full swing, and Chen Yuhuan is arranging the imperial dining room to prepare fine wine and delicacies.

The generals from the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet received the emperor's warm invitation and came to the banquet one after another, making the entire palace lively again.

Lu Hao did not bring the Queen tonight, but Cheng Yujie, the most beautiful woman in Crescent Harbor. Of course, she was also the apple of Cheng Li's eye, the second naval fleet general.
