Text Chapter 1129: The Smell of Coffee

In the middle of the night, another deep-sea dragon attacked Cangfeng Harbor, but it was secretly quelled by the Gonggong navy led by Zhulong.

...

In the morning of the next day, the sea breeze was bitter, and the wind was mixed with fine and small snow particles, which made the face extremely painful.

After Lin Muyu's tour of the camp returned to the big tent where he lived, he found that Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were making coffee in their residence. The coffee making set was brought back from the earth and heated with alcohol. Now the two MMs have used it to perfection. , and it is rare to drink warm and mellow coffee in the broken tripod world.

"Damn, it's really unsettling!"

Feng Jixing walked in cursing, looked up, and immediately said respectfully: "Your Highness and the princess are there too. Please refer to your Highness. Good morning, Your Highness."

Qin Yin said with a smile: "What is Commander Feng so angry about? Sit down first and have a cup of tea."

"Thank you Your Highness!"

Feng Jixing sat down opposite Lin Muyu and said, "Ah Yu, the second deep-sea dragon attacked our harbor last night, capsizing three walking boats and a building ship, NND, that building ship is ours! The main battleship can be used for transportation and artillery battle, which is good, and it costs more than 100,000 gold coins to build one, which is good, as soon as the dragon flicks its tail, it will be sunk."

"I know everything."

Lin Muyu pondered, and said: "Last night, I sent hundreds of Gonggong sailors into the deep sea to investigate, and they reported back in the morning, saying that due to the climate change of God's punishment, the temperature in the air has dropped a lot, but the deep sea is heating up. , so those deep-sea dragons couldn't bear the heat, and they all came ashore one after another, relatively speaking, the climate on land is more favorable to them."

"How many deep sea dragons are there?"

"Thousands of thousands. If there is no accident, within three days we will receive reports of many seaside fishermen being attacked by deep-sea dragons."

"Do you need to send someone to destroy these deep sea dragons?"

"We are powerless. Ordinary soldiers are no match for deep-sea dragons. A hundred soldiers may not be able to defeat a dragon. Even the scales of this dragon's skin can resist the shelling of the magic crystal cannon."

"My dear... so powerful?" Feng Jixing was speechless, and said: "Then just pretend I didn't say it, but your Gonggong navy is very powerful and good at water warfare, why don't you send them out to strangle the deep sea dragons, so as to avoid these Do animals endanger the common people?"

"I have already given the order to order Zhulong to be in charge of offshore defense. The 30,000 Gonggong water army is divided into hundreds of legions and scattered to patrol our offshore area to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"That's good." Feng Jixing clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Highness Yin, is my tea ready?"

"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

Qin Yin smiled sweetly.

At this moment, two beautiful figures from outside came in, they were Chu Yao and Ouyang Yan.

"Sister Chu Yao, are you here?"

Lin Muyu stood up and moved a chair for Chu Yao herself, and after sitting down, Chu Yao smiled and said, "So there are so many people..."

"There must be something wrong with you here?"

"Um."

Chu Yao's eyes were like water, and she said softly: "About the matter of medicinal herbs, more than 30% of our soldiers have frostbite on their hands and feet, and the frostbite has spread very badly. This will greatly affect the combat power. I have already ordered them to prepare gloves and leather boots. and other cold protection items, but this will not cure them immediately, and some medicines to promote the healing of chilblain are needed.”

"Is there no stock in the Elixir Department?" Feng Jixing asked.

Chu Yao smiled slightly, shook her head and said: "Originally there was, but it has been used up in half a month. The weather is extremely cold, and there are more and more soldiers with frostbite. When I came, I had already made a purchase list for Wugu City and Muyu City. The chambers of commerce have disappeared, and the stocks of the elixir department in various places are out of medicines, but these merchants still have a lot of stock in their hands, but the funds of the elixir department have been exhausted, so... this fee must be allocated by the household department."

Qin Yin came over with a cup of coffee, put it in front of Chu Yao, and said with a smile: "I see, how much is it in total?"

"Eight hundred thousand gold coins." Chu Yao took out a list of application funds from her bosom, and said: "This list was issued by the Department of Spirit Medicine and the Ministry of War, and I want to get the money from the Ministry of Households There must be two signatures, one from Ah Yu and the other from His Highness."

"no problem."

Qin Yin smiled happily, reached into her bosom, and took out a dark blue signature pen.

"Wait, Xiao Yin."

Lin Muyu said speechlessly: "If you sign with a pen, maybe the Ministry of Accounts will not recognize it?"

"It's okay, there is a jade seal..."

"That's right, sign it."

After Qin Yin signed, Lin Muyu also signed her name, then took out the Marshal's seal from the Qiankun bag and stamped it, and then handed it to Qin Yin. After Qin Yin stamped the Empress's seal, it was officially issued.

Chu Yao happily took the receipt, sat down again, took a sip of coffee, and frowned slightly: "Wow, this taste is a bit weird..."

Qin Yin smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I thought so at first, but then I felt much better, Sister Chu Yao, this is a specialty of A Yu's hometown..."

"Ayu's hometown?" Chu Yao blinked, took another sip immediately, and said with a smile: "I like it, I will come here often in the future, is that okay?"

"sure."

At this moment, Feng Jixing also took a sip, and couldn't help but spit it out: "Wow, why does it taste like this?"

Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi stared at him together.

"Ahem...the taste is actually quite unique..." Feng Jixing laughed.

...

At lunch time, everyone still ate together in Lin Muyu's big tent. Even the food of the empress and the marshal was not much better. There was porridge, noodles and a pot of broth, and the meat was dried wild boar , obscure and difficult to swallow, everyone's face turned green, but this is military rations, there is no way.

There has never been any good food in the army camp, and even the dry food is ridiculous. The main dry food is bread, or rice cakes that have been extruded and dried. Usually it is just to boil some boiling water in a hurry, and let the soldiers soak the rice cakes as a meal.

In a life-and-death battle, no one cares about eating well, only whether they are full and whether they have strength.

In the afternoon there was a military meeting.

Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi sit in town, and Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing hold a military meeting together. The commanders of the major armies have arrived one after another. Qin Yan, Tang Zhen, Chen Xiaoli, Xu Jiantao, Wei Qiu, Xiang Yu, Baili Cang, Qianfeng When all the people arrived, there were senior generals sitting on both sides of a huge long table, while the outside was heavily guarded. These generals are too important, they are the core of the entire empire and must be strictly protected.

The coastal defense map composed of three huge scrolls was laid out on the long table, with small dots marked on it, including the broken tripod world, the deployment of the coast of Tianji Continent, and the details of all the islands in the East China Sea and even the northern continental shelf.

The generals looked dignified, and the atmosphere of an unprecedented battle permeated invisible. Everyone felt as if they were facing a big enemy. The opponent in this war was definitely not easy to deal with. After all, the opponent's strength was more than twice that of his own.

"Marshal, when are we going to attack?"

Everyone was silent, but Xiang Yu spoke up, saying: "According to our preparation, we can go to sea and fight three days ago."

"I know, just wait a moment." Lin Muyu pressed the handle of the saber at his waist, walked slowly behind the generals, came to the other side of the map, pointed to the Western Mountain Province, and said: "The battle of this battle That's the point."

"Xishan Province?" Wei Chou was stunned: "Are you talking about Bai Ze's mercenaries?"

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded: "The Bai Ze mercenary is a pawn I left on the Tianji Continent many years ago, and now this pawn has made Yang Shang feel uncomfortable, so Yang Shang is bound to face the Bai Ze mercenary, after all... ...on the side of the couch, there is room for others."

Zhang Wei clenched his fists and said, "In my opinion, it's better to kill them directly, and use Xishan Province as a springboard to wipe out the army of that villain Yang Shang in one fell swoop!"

Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Old Zhang is deliberately setting us as a negative example again."

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Wei was at a loss.

Lin Muyu continued: "First of all, Yangshang's troops are far superior to ours, and the armored cavalry in Tianji Continent are very powerful. Their total cavalry is about 500,000 or more, plus more than 1,000 dragonriders. Our advantage is the magic crystal cannon and magic crystal crossbow, but once we land on the Tianji Continent and fight them on land, the speed of the cavalry will be very important. With the assistance of Chen Yu, I believe Yang Shang I will also understand how to use the speed of the cavalry to drag down our cumbersome magic crystal cannons. In land battles, we will definitely suffer, and it will be a big loss!"

Xiang Yu frowned, and said, "Then... Lin Shuai meant... a naval battle?"

"That's right."

Lin Muyu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Only by dragging the Yangshang army into the naval battle will we have a chance of winning. As far as I know, the navy of the Yangshang army is very powerful, and their warships are enough to carry millions of troops into the sea." In the sea area, our Daqin's large ships can be called the king of sea battles, and the power of the magic crystal cannon is enough to deter the opponent. In addition, with the Gonggong navy and the Limulus army in the eight wild provinces, we have at least seven The odds of success are above."

As he said that, Lin Muyu pressed his hands heavily on the table, and said sonorously and forcefully: "This battle aims to annihilate most of the effective forces of the Yangshang Army, and to hold the control of the entire sea area in the hands of our Great Qin Empire. Yang Shang's forces are overwhelming the Tianji Continent, after that, we can fight however we want!"

"The key is... how can we make Yang Shang underestimate the enemy and be willing to fight us decisively at sea?" Feng Jixing said.

"This is a long-term plan."

Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Bai Ze's mercenaries are the key. Let's wait for Si Kong Yao to come. As for the battlefield, I think it should be around here."

He lightly pressed his palm somewhere on the map.
