Han Du would not spoil Zhu Di. Anyway, now that he has built the capital here, can he build it again and move the capital out?
"A small Japanese country scared you like this. Do you think you are great? What's so great about you? No, this is not a Japanese country, it's just some remnants of the Japanese country..."
Han Du sneered and glanced at Zhu Di, full of contempt.
"Of course I'm not afraid of Japan!" Zhu Di retorted loudly, "It's just..."
Just what? Han Du looked at Zhu Di curiously.
But Zhu Di did not continue talking, but suddenly shut up. After all, no matter what the reason was, if he said it, Han Du would feel that he was afraid.
When Zhu Gaochi saw it, he quickly acted as his father's mouthpiece and sighed helplessly: "My lord, I don't know something. If it is just the Japanese country, then I, Xinming, will definitely fight against it at all costs. But besides Xinming, there are also
The five people are watching closely."
"If we go to war with Japan, wouldn't it benefit the five big fishermen?"
"The five great families just want to be this fisherman? Are they worthy?" Zhu Di sneered, then looked at Han Du and said: "But if I go to war with the Japanese country, the Japanese country will definitely unite the five great families in order to survive. In this way, things will be complicated.
Trouble..."
Zhu Di was confident that he could defeat the Japanese state, but he was not confident that he could defeat the Japanese state and the alliance of the five major families. After all, there were many tribes around Xinming who were eyeing it, and there were very few troops that could be dispatched.
Han Du pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "How did Hosokawa Mochizuki threaten you?"
Zhu Di's face darkened and he said nothing. He didn't know how Han Du guessed it.
Although Zhu Gaochi's face was full of smiles, he smiled very reluctantly. He nodded and sighed: "That's right. Hosokawa Morayuki said that if Xinming is not willing to rule the same place with them, then they will unite the five major families to fight against Xinming."
Attack tomorrow."
"It's just alarmism." Han Du sneered.
Zhu Di looked at Han Du with wide eyes and asked in a deep voice: "How do you say that?"
Han Du did not answer, but asked: "Tell me first, where are the Japanese and the five great families now?"
Zhu Di thought for a moment, turned around and waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to bring the map.
Opening the map, Zhu Di pointed towards the location in South America and said, "According to Zhanji, the last time he was attacked by pirates was probably at this location."
Zhu Di pointed his finger at the location where "suspected island group" was written, and continued: "In my estimation, the land close to this place must be the place where the remnants of the Japanese country are hiding."
"Estimated?" Han Du was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhu Di and asked, "Didn't you say that Hosokawa Mokiyuki came to befriend Xinming this time? Why, he didn't even bring his credentials?"
There is not even a letter of credence, which shows no sincerity at all...
"I did." Zhu Gaochi sighed and said, "But there are only terms of good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, and there is no territorial map."
Han Du was stunned after hearing this, and then sneered: "This Japanese country is really stubborn. Back then they refused to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, refused to submit the territory map, and even killed the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty.
There was a disaster that destroyed the country later. But after so many years, the Japanese people still haven’t learned their lesson!”
Then he mocked Zhu Di and said, "They are not even willing to send us a map of the territory. It is obvious that they do not regard Xinming as the suzerain country, but treat it as an equal. How can you endure this?"
Think about the Ming Dynasty, which neighboring country dared not to surrender? The Japanese country felt that it was protected by the divine wind on the sea, and the Yuan Dynasty had nothing to do with it. If it didn't take the Ming Dynasty into consideration, wouldn't it be destroyed in the end?
If Zhu Di couldn't even deal with the remnants of the Japanese country, what qualifications did he have to compare with the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Di's face was livid with anger, but he had no way to refute Han Du.
Zhu Gaochi quickly complained to Han Du: "Master, don't you have five other people here..."
"Are these five families so fearful to you?" Han Du didn't understand why the five families that he had chased so far into the sky and into the earth seemed to be like giant beasts in the wild when Zhu Gaochi said them.
Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "Actually, we don't know much about the Five Families, but according to Hosokawa Mochiyuki, they have been operating in the east of the ocean for decades, and have gathered more than a dozen countries and have dozens of countries.
Ten thousand troops, nearly ten thousand warships..."
To the east of the ocean is the European continent. But didn’t the five great families make their fortunes through business? Or are they frightened by themselves and know the importance of having an army?
This is really possible. If they really have hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be really a trouble. Han Du has no doubt at all about the ability of the five families to make money. With money and soldiers, this is a complete war machine.
"Do you believe what he said?" Han Du still didn't believe that the five families could develop to be so powerful, and asked with suspicion: "If he is boasting, does he want to intimidate you?"
"But..." Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Master, we don't dare to bet!"
It's true that you can't gamble. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
However, after Han Du pondered for a moment, he shook his head slightly and said: "What bet? In my opinion, we must first destroy the remnants of the Japanese country!"
"What should I say?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he felt a little excited when he saw Han Du starting to plan for him.
Han Du pointed at the map and said: "Xinming is here, with the Japanese Kingdom to the south and the Five Great Families to the east. Haven't you noticed that this scene is somewhat familiar?"
Familiar? Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi both lowered their heads and looked at the map. After looking for a moment, nothing seemed familiar. They both shook their heads at the same time.
This time Han Du did not continue to mock Zhu Di, but said two words seriously.
"Three Kingdoms."
Three Kingdoms? Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the map again.
Han Du continued: "Now Xinming is the strongest, just like Cao Wei. The remnants of the Japanese country are the weakest, but their ambitions are the greatest. As for the five major families..."
Having said this, Han Du paused and sneered: "A group of people have been doing business for generations, so what if they have soldiers now? Do they have generals? They are just a bunch of mobs!"
"So, the biggest threat to Xinming is the remnants of the Japanese kingdom. Even though they are the weakest now, they were once a complete country and no one was lacking. Once they grow stronger, they will be Xinming's real worry!
"
"Hiss, hiss..."
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi stood up together and looked at each other with a feeling of sudden realization.
