Shock, panic, disbelief!
Although Karasuma was in Japan, and he was just a poor person. However, he knew the Central Plains very well. Although his ninjutsu came from Japan, his martial arts came from the Central Plains.
Of course, it was not accurate to say that he came from the Central Plains. To be more precise, it came from the Buddhism of ü-Tsang (the Tibet Autonomous Region). It was taught to him by a lama who had crossed over to the east.
Therefore, he knew the Central Plains very well!
The Emperor of the Central Plains was different from the Emperor of Japan. Although the Emperor of Japan had the title of monarch, most of the time, he did not have a monarch. Most of the time, they were just puppets, a mascot.
However, the Emperor of the Central Plains was different. The Emperor of the Central Plains truly held supreme authority. Even the puppet emperor was more effective than the Emperor of Japan.
It was because the Emperor of the Central Plains was too noble, and there was also the so-called Confucianists 'idea that a son of a thousand gold would not sit in the hall and a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall.
Therefore, the Emperor of the Central Plains would not take any risks, let alone come to Japan alone. This was simply impossible and inconceivable.
Alright, even if the Emperor of the Central Plains really left the palace and came to Japan, shouldn't he hide his identity? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too dangerous for the Emperor's identity to be exposed?
If he was the Emperor and left the palace alone, he would not dare to reveal his identity so casually.
However, Zhu Houzhao told him honestly that he was the Emperor of the Central Plains.
"That's right, I am the Emperor of the Central Plains, Zhu Houzhao. This time, he came to the East Ocean Continent to challenge experts and sweep through the entire East Ocean Continent. The second was to denounce him! How dare you send the Ronin to attack my coastal area and kill my people? If the East Ocean Continent doesn't give me an explanation, I will send my troops to flatten the East Ocean Continent!”Zhu Houzhao was unscrupulous and not afraid of being found out at all.
"What…? Send a punitive expedition!"
Wu Wan was stunned. Then, his expression changed drastically as he looked at Zhu Houzhao in fear.
Did the Chinese server have the ability to flatten the Japanese? It could be said to be very simple. But why hadn't the Chinese team attacked the Japanese?
Firstly, it was because of the Confucian ideology of the Central Plains. Secondly, the Chinese server felt that Japan was a place where birds did not even shit in the sky, and even if they took it down, the losses would outweigh the gains.
These two points were also the reason why Great Ming had never fought against the surrounding countries in its close to 300 years of history.
Moreover, the Japanese were separated from the Central Plains by the sea. The price of attacking the Japanese was too high. Just transporting soldiers was a huge problem.
In addition, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were countries that were not conquered, including Japan.
However, if the Chinese were determined to destroy the Japanese, the Japanese would not be able to hold on.
"Those Ronin who lost their master offended Great Ming and brought a huge disaster to Japan!”Wu Wan felt cold all over.
In actual history, even though the Japanese Ronin had brought a huge disaster to Great Ming, Great Ming had never thought of attacking the Japanese.
On the one hand, it was the two reasons mentioned earlier, and the other was that there were many internal problems at that time. After more than a hundred years of rule, the internal decay of Great Ming was very serious.
The land was seriously annexed, and the clans, wealthy families, and even the ministers of the court were lying on Ming's body and sucking the marrow. The income of Ming's national treasury decreased year by year.
The most obvious example was the Chongzhen period at the end of Ming Dynasty! Back then, the national treasury only had two million taels of silver a year. During the war, Chongzhen had to borrow money and wear patched dragon robes.
However, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing City, it was just Beijing City. Li Zicheng had found more than 30 million taels of silver from the officials 'homes.
This was only silver, not including antiques, paintings, jade, jewelry, and even all kinds of expensive items.
From this, one could know how serious the situation was when the Darming Dynasty was sucked dry by these "clean streams","loyal officials","penniless honest officials", and landlord tyrants.
Although Da Ming was a little better than then, he wasn't much better. When Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he had asked the Ministry of Revenue. The current annual income of the Great Ming national treasury was only worth five million taels. Compared to the twelve million strings of strings
"After the rebellion of the Great Ming's Tumu Fortress, the emperor was too weak.”Zhu Houzhao sighed.
At this point, why was Zhu Houzhao still confident in attacking the Japanese?
Because Zhu Houzhao was not like those emperors, he would learn from Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. The suppression of iron and blood killed those vermin until they were terrified. He wasn't afraid of being described as a tyrant by the Confucians. He didn't care about his reputation.
Whoever dared to oppose it would die.
Thus, Zhu Houzhao was confident that he could destroy the Japanese.
"Wu Wan, if you pledge your loyalty to me, I'll make you the King of Dongying after I destroy it!”After threatening him, Zhu Houzhao revealed his purpose.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao had wanted to kill Karasuma and his disciple, but he had changed his mind. This was because he valued the abilities of Ravenmaru and his disciple.
To be precise, it was a transformation spell!
"What if…I refuse?" Wu Wan frowned and asked.
"Then go accompany these two people!" Zhu Houzhao said cleanly.
Wu Wan's pupils shrank, revealing a terrified expression. He didn't doubt whether Zhu Houzhao would do it or not, because Zhu Houzhao had already proven it with his actions.
Moreover, he did not doubt whether Zhu Houzhao had the ability to do so. Although the strength of the two people just now was not as good as his, the gap was not so big that it was insurmountable. He could kill the two of them, but it would take some effort.
However, Zhu Houzhao only used one move to kill them. Therefore, he did not dare to doubt it.
"I, Wu Wan! I am willing to serve Your Majesty until I die!”Wu Wan knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao!
"I, Xiong Nan! I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!”
Wu Wan's disciple quickly followed his master and knelt down.
"Very good, a wise man understands the times. Zhen admires you very much!”Zhu Houzhao nodded happily.
"I wonder what Your Majesty wants us to do. Please tell us!”Radish Ball quickly got into character and began to ask for instructions.
"I'm sure you heard what Zhen said just now. I have the status of an imperial uncle, and I have the intention of replacing him and ascending the throne. That's why I want you to go undercover there. I want to know his every move!”Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.
"This…we've heard of Steelguts. He was skilled in martial arts and resourceful. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to gain his trust.”Wu Wan said with a troubled expression.
"Don't worry, I have ways to make him trust you.”Zhu Houzhao raised his head and said with a deep gaze.
Sorry, I went to harvest corn today and came back a little late. However, there is still a third watch today!"
