Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1456

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1451: Unfathomable

Her gaze fell upon the other naval generals and she said, "Having endured for so long without action, I reckon that everyone here is eager to proceed, so let us forego the formalities and enter the tent... discussing the plan for the extermination of Dongyi is of utmost importance!"

"Your Majesty speaks wisely!" Liu Shucheng nodded repeatedly, "Please, Your Majesty!"

Lu Yuanpeng noticed Bai Qingyan walking inside with General Liu, puffing out his chest, but then saw Bai family elder sister surrounded by the naval generals as they entered, seemingly oblivious to him. He quickly grabbed Sima Ping to chase inside, determined to find an opportunity to speak with Bai family elder sister and obtain her permission to immediately go to Dongyi to find his sister.

The naval commanders who were unfamiliar with Bai Qingyan followed behind the Bai family army and Zhou army commanders into the tent, whispering to Jiang Huaisheng, "This Emperor truly acts swiftly; upon arrival, first went to the government office, then to the fishing village, and now is not resting, but discussing the plan to exterminate Dongyi. Doesn’t she take a break?"

Jiang Huaisheng smiled silently, patting his comrade’s shoulder and simply saying, "Let’s go..."

Jiang Huaisheng could guess part of why Bai Qingyan was in such a hurry; firstly, to demonstrate her determination to annihilate Dongyi, and secondly, perhaps to swiftly and decisively act to minimize disruptions related to gambling in the country. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

As they entered the command tent, Liu Shucheng promptly ordered additional lamps to illuminate the maritime map hanging within the tent. Liu Shucheng then introduced the naval commanders present to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan glanced at the maritime map, removed her cloak, and handed it to Wei Zhong. Listening to Liu Shucheng and the others discuss various strategies, when they mentioned the issue of warships, Jiang Huaisheng spoke up: "Previously, due to the disbandment of many naval soldiers, numerous warships were left unused. Now, many soldiers have returned upon your summons, Your Majesty. If you are eager for swift action and the shipyard cannot deliver new warships promptly, perhaps sending people to repair and revive the old ones would not be an issue..."

Bai Qingyan nodded slightly: "Large warships recently overseen are being expedited day and night as I arrived, coming by waterways, and will start arriving by the twenty-ninth at the latest! Yet, we must be prepared on multiple fronts!"

Xiao Ruohai, Xiao Ruojiang, and Chen Qingsheng have already gone to Dongyi, and Shen Qingzhu will soon bring warships.

"If that is the case, we shall dare to inform Your Majesty of the previously discussed warfare strategies, entirely subjected to Your Majesty’s decision!" Jiang Huaisheng began to speak softly, explaining each strategy deemed most appropriate to Bai Qingyan, concerned that she might be unfamiliar with naval warfare, his pace was exceptionally gentle.

Bai Qingyan listened intently, never showing impatience, nodding periodically to indicate her understanding, sometimes raising her hand to point out specific maritime areas and islands for confirmation if Jiang Huaisheng’s statements were accurate. Jiang Huaisheng was indeed surprised that Bai Qingyan had not made a single error, indicating a thorough study of the maritime domain.

After Jiang Huaisheng completed the discussion of strategies, Bai Qingyan slowly began: "Our Zhou holds a fundamental advantage over Dongyi due to vast land and resources; Dongyi’s population and resources collectively do not even equate to one-tenth of our Zhou... hence, so too our military strength and capabilities!"
