Now that everyone in Korea had reached an agreement, it was easy to pack up. Two days later, King Li Xun of Korea set off with his ministers to Shenyang to meet the Daming Emperor, Zhu Yijun.

At this time, the Daming army also began to assemble.
The first to react was naturally the soldiers of Liaodong. Everyone of them was very excited. This was a good business to make money from the beginning of the war.
They looked down on the Japanese pirates from the bottom of their hearts. How could the barbarians fight?
The second to react was the Admiral of Liao, Liu Wei.
This Earl Chengde, who had made great contributions to the war against Horqin, couldn't sit still when he heard that he was going to Korea to fight the Japanese pirates.
Liu Wei, who wanted to be made a Marquis, directly wrote to Zhu Yijun.
The content was very simple. It was a request to go to war. All the soldiers of Liao were ready to fight for His Majesty.
Liu Wei even criticized the East Camp. It was so far away. Wouldn't it be a long journey to Liaodong?
Our Liao army is close and it's easy to assemble. We can just send troops.
Zhu Yijun didn't comment. He replied to Liu Wei that the war would come later.
The East Camp of the Capital was also boiling with fighting spirit. When they heard the imperial edict, they shouted excitedly.
They are all from the capital camp, but the Eastern Camp first attacked Wa La, then Ke Erqin and Duo Yan three tribes, so they earned a lot.
They were always arrogant and even looked down on the East Camp, saying that they were young soldiers who had never been on the battlefield.
They couldn't tolerate this. Now that they finally had a chance, they had to fight with all their might!
The generals of the East Camp and the young people who came out from the martial arts lecture hall had been waiting for a long time.
They said they would be made Marquis soon, but they didn't even have the chance to go to the battlefield. Those who came out from the martial arts lecture hall at the same time were all classmates.
Barons, viscounts, and even earls. How could they tolerate this?
Now that he had the opportunity to participate in the battle, he had to go and fight well.
At the same time, the competition between them also began. Normally, there would be seven people who were unwilling to accept it, and eight people who were unwilling to accept it. At this time, however, their fighting spirit was even higher, and no one wanted to admit defeat.
After the army set off, they went straight to Liaodong. This time, the commander of the West Camp was the Crown Prince of Britain, Zhang Weixian.
After Zhang Yong's death, Zhang Weixian observed mourning for his grandfather. However, a family of generals did not need to observe mourning for three years. After the mourning period was over, Zhang Weixian was appointed as the Commander of the Eastern Barracks of the capital. This time, he led the troops out of Korea.
Everyone could see that Zhang Weixian was deeply favored by the Emperor, and his personal ability was also very strong, so everyone in the Eastern Camp believed in him.
At night, in the camp.
After patrolling the camp, the commanders gathered together and chatted. They were all from the Imperial Martial Arts Hall. Although they were competing with each other, their relationship was still very good.
The flames continued to burn, and the sound of whistling could be heard. Several people sat next to the fire, and the fire illuminated their young faces.
"This time, in Korea, I will definitely make a great contribution. I don't want to be a Marquis, but I can still think about being an Earl. I am now a Earl, and when the time comes, I will be a Earl. I will not fight with you Honours."
A young man said with a face full of expectation. His tone was 30% disdainful and 70% mocking.
"Cao Wenzhao, you country bumpkin, you are talking big. How can you be an Earl? I think it will be good if you can be a Baron." As soon as the voice fell, another young man retorted.
"We are Hereditary Honours, and the son of a general. This time, in Korea, we will definitely show our power."
"While we still think highly of you, hurry up and kowtow. When we become rich, we will also promote you!"
Hearing his words, the people around him nodded. "Yes, yes!"
Being different than the West Camp, the East Camp was made up of more descendants of Daming Honours. Most of them were from the Imperial Martial Arts Hall.
The one who spoke was Chang Mingliang, the direct descendant of Huaiyuan Marquis' Mansion.
If there was no accident, the title of Huaiyuan Marquis would belong to him in the future.
Huaiyuan Marquis' ancestor was Chang Yuchun, the meritorious minister who founded the country. However, his title had been taken away. Later on, when his title was restored, he was conferred as Huaiyuan Marquis. These years, he had a good momentum. Now, Huaiyuan Marquis was the commander of Nanjing Garrison and a real power in the military.
On Chang Mingliang's side was a dark-faced man called Li Zongcheng. His father was Li Yangong, the Marquis of Linhuai.
His ancestor was Li Wenzhong, the Marquis of Cao. Because of Li Jinglong's affair, he was dismissed. Later on, he was restored as Marquis of Linhuai. Now, he had a good momentum.
On Li Zongcheng's side was a young man who looked much fairer than Li Zongcheng.
He was Deng Shaoyu. His father was Dingyuan Marquis. His ancestor was Duke Wei Deng Yu.
On Deng Shaoyu's side was a tall, sturdy man called Tang Zhigao. His father was Marquis Ling Bi. His ancestor was Duke Xin Tang He. There were many others around him. Basically, they were all descendants of Honours.
"On the battlefield, you have to rely on your abilities. This time, I'll show you my abilities."
It wasn't that Cao Wenzhao didn't have any helpers. Beside him, a short, muscular man said, "You weren't a match for me back in the lecture hall, and you still won't be a match for me this time."
"He Renlong, the battlefield is not a martial arts competition. What's the use of fighting?" Deng Shaoyu replied with a cold harrumph.
On the hillside not far away, Zhang Weixian was looking at the bonfire as he revealed a faint smile.
After glancing at the young man on his side, he said with a smile, "This feels really good!"
The young man also smiled before saying, "Hopefully, we can all gain something from this battle!"
This young man was dressed like a civil official. However, he was also from a family of generals. He was the young marquis of Marquis Tainning's estate. His name was Chen Wenli.
Marquis Tainning's estate was the most successful branch of Honours who switched from martial arts to culture.
Right now, Chen Wenli was the military advisor of the Grand Council. He was in charge of the army's contribution statistics as well as provisions and armaments.
"His Majesty has feelings for the Honours!"
Zhang Weixian slowly said, "Ever since the Imperial Martial Arts Hall was established, the descendants of Honours and Honours were able to enroll. After coming out, they were placed in important positions. It is the fortune of us, the descendants of Honours."
Chen Wenli looked at Zhang Weixian and asked with a smile, "Bringing these descendants of Honours to the battlefield, you must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
Glancing at Chen Wenli, Zhang Weixian smiled and said, "If we win this battle, the reputation of the Honours will be greatly boosted. If we lose this battle, I will be the sinner of the Honours. Of course, there will be pressure."
"But I have confidence in them. Although the Imperial Martial Arts Hall is easy to enter, it is strict to leave."
"Being able to pass the Imperial Martial Arts Hall's examination proves that they are qualified.
Although they have never been on the battlefield, they will be fine after fighting a few times. Everyone has their first time, right? "
"Besides, the capital's Western Barracks is the foundation of the Qi Family Army. The old soldiers of the Qi Family Army that were transferred from Ji Liao are all in the Western Barracks. These are all soldiers trained by Grand Marshal Qi. I have confidence!"
