The news of worshiping heaven released by Cheng Mu reached Zhu Di's ears that afternoon.
But before Zhu Di could get angry, the civil and military officials under his command could no longer sit still.
"Your Majesty! We cannot let the thieves of the Apocalypse Empire succeed! Xiaoliuqiu is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and we should protect it!"
"Master Wang is right. Your Majesty, Xiao Liuqiu cannot be given up."
"Your Majesty, why not let Liu Sheng take action and kill the leader of the Apocalypse Empire in Xiaoliuqiu. At that time, I, the Ming Dynasty, will take over the Apocalypse Empire without any effort."
My own Ming Dynasty has powerful people in the Shentai realm. Does the Apocalypse Empire have one?
Of course, the people who said this were naturally not very smart people. They had blind confidence in Liu Bowen.
"quiet!"
Zhu Di did not speak, but Xiao Huangmen on the side shouted at the top of his lungs.
In an instant, the originally noisy hall became silent. Everyone looked at Zhu Di with hope, hoping that Zhu Di could revive the backbone of the Ming Empire.
"Ahem."
Zhu Di coughed twice. His injuries have not fully recovered yet.
"My dear friends."
He said slowly: "My Ming Dynasty currently has a leaderless navy fleet, and Qi Aiqing has not grown up yet."
"The Battle of Xiaoliuqiu is full of dangers!"
That's right, from the moment he evacuated all the people in Xiaoliuqiu, he gave up the idea of regaining Xiaoliuqiu.
After all, that's an island. I'm so enlightened that I can't reach it!
In history, at a certain period, the Ming Dynasty's navy was indeed the number one in the world. But with Zhu Yuanzhang's general this time, the historical predecessor of the Ming Dynasty's navy, the Chaohu Navy, is really just a navy at the moment.
Especially after the establishment of a huge treasure fleet led by Zheng He, the historical Chaohu Navy was not taken seriously in this life.
Now, although Zhu Di asked Qi Jiguang to merge the Qi Jiajun and Chaohu Navy, its development still takes some time.
A more important point.
Is Zheng He's treasure fleet powerful? No, they are not powerful at all in front of the Apocalypse Empire Navy.
Back then I was in Xiaoliuqiu, on Shenlong Island.
Zhu Di personally experienced the power of the Apocalypse Empire's navy. Although the Tianlong battleship was about the same size as Zheng He's treasure ship, the strength of the ship's hull was not matched by the strength of the soldiers.
The navy of the Apocalypse Empire completely crushed the Ming Navy.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Liuqiu has been my Ming Dynasty's land since ancient times!"
Some ministers could not listen to Zhu Di's words. What they wanted was to keep the things belonging to their ancestors.
If Zhu Di couldn't hold on, he would be considered inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang. If he couldn't hold on to his ancestral family business, he would be too useless as an emperor.
"Yes, yes!"
Some people are still echoing: "Although the enemy is strong, we, the Ming Dynasty, cannot increase the enemy's morale and reduce our own prestige."
Whether you can beat it or not, you won’t know until you beat it.
Even if Qi Jiguang failed, there would still be generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun on the shore.
For a time, the main war factions stood up one after another.
"In that case."
However, there was not much expression on Zhu Di's face, and he just said in a cold voice: "Wang Zhong, Lin Ziqi and my dear friends, Xiaoliuqiu will be left to you."
"After packing your things, get ready to fight!"
What's the point of just barking in front of him? Zhu Di doesn't like it at all.
Since these people want to fight, let them go. At this moment, there are still a few miscellaneous naval fleets along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.
However, upon hearing Zhu Di's order, the original combatants fell to their knees and begged.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
"Weichen is a scholar, he doesn't understand war, he doesn't understand war!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
Let them direct the battle, it is better to let them die.
"Since you don't understand war, then shut your mouths."
Zhu Di gained the upper hand and scolded mercilessly. These people seemed to really think that he could not cure them.
"This time, we will stand still."
"Wait for the Apocalypse Empire to personally deliver it to your door!"
After resolving the differences, Zhu Di finally made the decision.
The second day.
Xiaoliuqiu.
Zhu Di's attack as expected by Cheng Mu did not come.
"It's so boring."
Zhu Di did not come, which made him a little disappointed. He thought that Zhu Di could be more manly. Before the two countries went into full-scale war, there would be a solo between the navies.
But at present, it is impossible.
"It seems that Zhu Di is not too stupid."
Mr. Qi said from the side: "If he can send troops here this time, we will win 30% of the war against the Ming Empire."
As long as all the Ming Dynasty's navy is annihilated here, the entire Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of sea will become the playground of the Apocalypse Empire's navy.
Even the Tianlong Fleet can directly sail the warships to Yingtian Mansion!
"hehe."
However, Cheng Mu shook his head and said: "He just chose the long pain between the long pain and the short pain."
If Xiaoliuqiu was handed over to itself, what would be the difference between the Ming Dynasty's maritime territory and being undefended?
The naval fleet under Zhu Di will cause certain obstacles to his own naval officers. However, it is only a slight obstacle.
The Hidden Dragon Messenger who infiltrated the Ming Dynasty sent back the news that Qi Jiguang was training the navy.
Cheng Mu naturally knew that Zhu Di was trying hard to train Qi Jiguang's navy during the period when he gave up Xiaoliuqiu!
Otherwise, it would be chronic death.
"Well, that's just as I wish."
Mr. Qi does not have as strong a fighting spirit as Cheng Mu. He is already satisfied with being able to expand his territory.
As for the rest, it is not mandatory.
"Sacrifice to heaven."
Cheng Mu nodded.
If Zhu Di doesn't come, then he won't waste any more time.
After a while.
On a newly built miniature version of the Temple of Heaven, Cheng Muzhao preached to heaven and earth.
In an instant, the sky was filled with golden light. The golden dragon of the Apocalypse Empire roared from the south.
There are even more auspicious unicorns surrounding it, and the glow is bursting.
"roar!"
It was also at this moment that after the National Fortune Golden Dragon rushed into the Temple of Heaven, Cheng Mu felt that his strength had been slightly enhanced.
The expansion of territory and the national destiny had a huge impact on the emperor.
Even though there was only a small Ryukyu Island, Cheng Mu's strength increased by one percent.
It is estimated that Cheng Mu only needs to annex half of the Ming Empire's territory before Cheng Mu's strength can truly enter the realm of the gods.
Based on the strength of the Shenmen Realm, when the fate of the country is with him, he will also become a strong man in the Shenmen Realm.
The broader the country's territory, the stronger the national destiny, and the stronger the support for the emperor.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
After the golden light dissipated, Mr. Qi and others congratulated Cheng Mu. Cheng Mu's strength increased by one percent, and so did their strength!
"Um."
Cheng Mu nodded and said, "Next, Xiaoliuqiu will be left to you!"
"Contain the Ming Dynasty's navy. I want Zhu Di to be attacked from both sides and have trouble sleeping and eating!"
When the war begins, it will definitely be fought on both sea and land fronts.
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"
Everyone took orders one after another.
Finally, Cheng Mu rode on the auspicious unicorn and left in a hurry.
Why ride the auspicious unicorn? On the one hand, it’s because the auspicious unicorn’s performance is a little higher than that of the black order.
On the other hand, there is a lot of water, very watery.
Who knows, we are surrounded by the sea.
But after returning this time, the real war will come.
By then, it is estimated that no matter how much water there is, it will be dried by the flames of war!
