The capital of Dongzhang was called Dinghai.
Dinghai City was located along the coast. It was the largest city in Dongzhang and also the largest pier.
Dinghai alone had a population of 300,000.
In modern times, it might not even be comparable to a small city.
However, in ancient times, a city with a population of 300,000 was undoubtedly a bustling metropolis.??
Dongzhang Island, Shang Mansion.
"Grandfather, something bad has happened. A spy has reported that the Great Han Dynasty is attacking.”
A handsome young master rushed into the study and shouted with hurried breaths.
In the study room.
A white-haired, peaceful-looking old man sat behind a desk, holding a yellowed ancient book.
He didn't seem to hear it and didn't react at all.
He was the Prime Minister of Dongzhang Country, the true person in charge of the Shang Family-Shang Renjie.
The young master was his grandson, Shang Yong.
Shang Yong saw that his grandfather had no reaction and couldn't help but get anxious.
"Grandfather, something big has happened. The entire city is in chaos now. Everyone says that the Great Han Dynasty is about to attack.”
"Oh, what do you have in mind?" Shang Renjie put down his book and said indifferently.”
Shang Yong was speechless when he heard that.
Brilliant idea?
What brilliant ideas could he have?
That was the Great Han Dynasty, an existence that even the countries of the Nine Regions could not resist and could not be defeated.
Not to mention the Great Han Dynasty's Saint Son of Heaven!
Invincible in the world, the entire nation soaring!
At this moment, he had probably already entered the Godfiend realm, right?
Shang Yong suddenly calmed down.
He cupped his hands and said,"Grandson has been rude. Please forgive me."”
Shang Renjie's aged face finally revealed a smile.
"It's good that you can reflect on yourself," he said with a smile.”
"Grandfather doesn't seem to be surprised that the Great Han Dynasty is attacking us," Shang Yong said.”
Shang Renjie stood up and walked to the window.
He looked in the direction of Nine Regions and said indifferently,""Ever since the Great Han Dynasty's Sage Emperor ascended the throne, he has never stopped expanding and invading.”
"Whether it's the countries around the Great Han Dynasty or the countries on the other side of the ocean like Fusang.”
"Or perhaps the distant countries of the Western Regions did not escape the end of their destruction.”
"Why would I think that the Dongzhang Nation is a special existence?”
"Now is the time."
Shang Yong looked at Shang Renjie in shock.
It turned out that his grandfather had already made preparations a long time ago.
just
"Grandfather, do you have a way to deal with the invasion of the Great Han Dynasty?" Shang Yong frowned and asked worriedly.”
Shang Renjie frowned, he looked at Shang Yong and shook his head.
Too inexperienced.
He was still too inexperienced.
"Let me ask you, whose world is Dongzhang?" he asked.”
"Of course it's your world, Grandpa." Shang Yong said proudly.”
"Who doesn't know that the ruler of Dongzhang is weak and incompetent? All the matters in the court are decided by you, grandfather.”
"None of the officials in the court would dare to disobey you, grandfather.”
"Eighty percent of Dongzhang's army is under grandfather's control. As long as you're willing, you can change Dongzhang anytime.”
Shang Renjie's brows were tightly knitted together.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Shang Yong's answer!
Shang Renjie's face darkened as he raised his voice and questioned sternly,""Whose world is Dongzhang?"
Shang Yong was shocked by Shang Renjie's performance.
He was a smart person. How could he not understand that his grandfather was very dissatisfied with the answer just now?
Shang Yong was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly came to his senses.
"It's the country's ruler, the Yun family's world," he hurriedly said.”
Shang Renjie nodded slightly, satisfied.
He sneered.
"The current country ruler, the Yun family, is arrogant and ignorant. They occupy a small country like Dongzhang and think that the world is as big as Dongzhang. Trying to use the strength of an ant to fight against the Great Han Dynasty's heavenly soldiers and blaspheming the dignity of the Saint Son of Heaven was extremely foolish.”
"I, Shang Renjie, as the Prime Minister of Dongzhang Country, have brought order out of chaos and protected the righteous path.”
"Do you understand now?"
Shang Yong's face was full of admiration, he understood Shang Renjie's plan.
He suddenly understood why Shang Renjie had controlled the Dongzhang Country long ago, but still allowed that puppet to remain high and mighty.
So…
Everything was for today!
If the Great Han Dynasty came to attack, all the officials and nobles could surrender.
However, even if the royal family surrendered, they might not have a good ending.
Shang Renjie kept the imperial family because he wanted to sell them to the Great Han Dynasty!
To continue the Shang family's prosperity!
Shang Yong understood Shang Renjie's plan, he couldn't help but sigh,""Grandson is foolish. I didn't see through grandfather's plan until today.”
"You are still young," Shang Renjie comforted him with a smile."You still have a lot of time to learn and comprehend.”
"My grandson has the potential to become a pillar of the country."
"The Country of Dong Zhang is just a tiny place. Your future should be in the Nine Prefectures, in the most prosperous and rich capital of the Great Han Empire, Luoyang, and not the tiny Country of Dong Zhang.”
"Go and prepare. Prepare to meet the Han Dynasty emissary with grandfather.”
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi is quite lucky. He actually managed to curry favor with an envoy of the Great Han Dynasty and became the vanguard to attack my Dongzhang Island.”
"However, compared to my Shang Clan, he is nothing.”
"Go. It's time for the sky to change on Dongzhang Island.”
Shang Yong was so excited that his face turned red as he nodded repeatedly.
He was secretly shocked. It turned out that his grandfather had known about the situation outside all along, and he knew it even better than him.
He even knew that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had defected to the Great Han Dynasty.
He was filled with awe and respect. He felt more and more that the gap between him and his grandfather was huge.
However, after hearing this, Shang Yong couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.
"Grandfather, Fengchen Xiu Jiyan asked us to hand over Zhao Gou, the rebel of the Great Han Dynasty.”
"But Zhao Gou's skills are extraordinary, and he has many experts by his side, as well as other rebels. If we make a move against Zhao Gou, the other factions will be in danger and will join forces to deal with us.”
Shang Renjie looked at Shang Yong with admiration and smiled,""Someone has already informed Zhao Gou. He will know what to do.”
Shang Yong was stunned.
Then, he reacted.
Compared to the Shang Family, Zhao Gou and the others were definitely more afraid of the Great Han Dynasty. Otherwise, they would not have fled from the Nine Provinces to Dongzhang Island.
Now, the Great Han Heavenly Army was charging over, and they wanted Zhao Gou's head.
If he received the news, he would definitely run away immediately. How could he dare to stay on Dongzhang Island?
At that time, the Shang Family only needed to put on an act and send people to the traitor's lair to take a look. Then, they would be able to say that the traitor was cunning and had already escaped.
Thus, they could avoid starting a war with the various factions!
Shang Yong was convinced.
He was completely convinced.
He used to boast that he was more intelligent than others, but today, he finally understood what the gap was.
Compared to his grandfather, his intelligence was nothing.
Shang Yong was filled with respect as he bowed and left.
He already understood what he had to do.
Shang Renjie looked at Shang Yong's back and nodded in satisfaction.
Although he was young, he was a talent that was unpolished.
With a bit of sculpting, he could become the future pillar of the Shang Family.
"Men, follow me into the palace," Shang Renjie said indifferently.”
A servant girl walked into the room and helped Shang Renjie change into his court clothes.
Walking out of the study, Shang Renjie ordered the guards,""Inform all the officials in the court to enter the palace immediately without delay.”
As Shang Renjie spoke, he glanced at the dark sky and the howling storm. The corners of his mouth curled up into a victorious smile.
So what if the Great Han Heavenly Army attacked Dongzhang?
If he couldn't beat them, he would just join them.
If Toyotomi Hideyoshi can do it, why can't my Shang family do it?
As long as they surrendered quickly, all the problems would not be a problem!
As for the country's ruler, the Yun family.
Hehe, since ancient times, there were only officials who surrendered and nobles who brought order out of chaos. There were no emperors who surrendered.
The head of the country ruler Yun was the guarantee of the Shang Family's wealth!
