My wife is Invincible East

He needs supreme power, the power to influence the world with his words and deeds.

As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

This experience made Zhu Moye realize that power alone is far from enough. The greatest help in the world is the people's hearts.

Perhaps I need to work harder on this aspect in the future.

"Your Highness is truly amazing. With just a few tricks, the people have such a favorable impression of you. It's truly remarkable."

Shang Ming gave him a thumbs-up, flattered him, and then whispered, "But why are you leaving him alone like this?"

As for the mysterious prince, Shang Ming didn't think he would do such a meaningless thing.

"Just watch, fill your stomach first."

Zhu Moye chuckled and kept the secret, without turning his head or even looking at Hosokawa Ono.

Hosokawa Ono was sweating profusely. The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was indeed terrifying. This psychological warfare tactic was too cruel.

He knew very well that the situation in Japan was unstable and that the Ming Dynasty urgently needed to intervene to establish its rule, but I didn't offer anything that satisfied him, so he just ignored me on purpose.

Make yourself wait anxiously, so that he can see his own position clearly in the process of anxiety.

Now, he, Hosokawa Ono, is the passive requester, and he, Zhu Moye, is not negotiating business on an equal footing.

It's naked blackmail!

Don't try to be too arrogant, or just go back to Japan. I won't bother with you anymore.

After thinking this through, Hosokawa Ono broke out in a sweat and was horrified to find that Zhu Moye had been in control of everything from the beginning to the end, and he was just a piece of fish on the chopping board, to be kneaded at will.

It’s doomed!

Hosokawa Ono was constantly struggling with his thoughts, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to act on his own and raise the price. He would advance the 20 million taels of silver and say that he would pay the rest later. After the Japanese Empire was unified, he could use the excuse that the war had just ended and there was a lot of work to be done, so there was no extra money, and then pay it back slowly. Wouldn't that be enough?

Who doesn’t know how to procrastinate?

At that moment, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Highness, I've thought about it and believe that Japan does need 50,000 kilograms of pig iron. Ono accepts this deal."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Moye stood up, smiled at Xiao Ye with relief, and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Hosokawa Ono suppressed his excitement and hurried forward. He took out a large stack of silver notes from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Zhu Moye, saying, "Your Highness, I only have 20 million taels of silver notes on me at this time. After the Ming army is dispatched to Japan, I will give the rest to the general leading the troops and bring it back to you."

"No problem. We in the Celestial Empire never care about small matters."

Zhu Moye's face was full of smiles. Although he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and lived a carefree life, the monthly offerings were only so much, which was more than enough for him to live a rich life.

But it is still far from enough to do something big.

These two Japanese "friends" instantly became cute in his eyes.

He made 20 million taels of silver as soon as he arrived in Hebei and became a local tycoon.

He is simply a boy who gives away money!

In the next chapter, the Oriental girl will be online.

Chapter 32 Long live the prince!

"However, I need these 50,000 kilograms of pig iron to forge a batch of weapons to support Daimyo Hosokawa's army. Do you have any objections?"

Zhu Moye is a typical example of a whore who tries to be a saint. He is clearly blackmailing others, but in order to show that he is a cultured and well-educated person, he pretends to be mysterious and comes up with a rip-off deal.

After getting the money, he even gave up the items for the transaction. It is really shameless.

Baka! I'm so pissed off, how could there be such a shameless person!

Hosokawa Ono kept roaring in his heart and was almost going crazy.

However, he needed help from others and could not lose his temper. He could only endure it and pretend to be a grandson on the surface.

At that moment, he bowed repeatedly in a pretentious manner and said, "Of course not. Your Highness, please feel free to use it if you wish."

Twenty million taels of silver have been given away, so why should we be stingy with this little piece of pig iron?

Hosokawa Ono kept comforting himself in his heart, and then, with a hint of urgency in his eyes, he asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, when will you go to the capital to ask the Emperor for troops?"

"No rush. This prince has some personal matters to attend to right now. You take that rubbish here and wait for me to come back. Then this prince will take you to the capital to meet the emperor."

Zhu Moye held a huge sum of money in his hand, and he felt refreshed as if basking in the spring breeze. He spoke with a warm smile on his face.

I don’t know, I really thought he was a sunny and warm man.

Hosokawa Ono's face changed. He took the money but didn't do the job. Damn, is your personal matter more important or state affairs?

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, your country's military strategy says that speed is of the essence in war, delay will lead to changes. Please take me to see the emperor first."

Hearing this, Zhu Moye remained indifferent. He leisurely sipped his tea and said disapprovingly, "Wait if you want. Anyway, you don't have any money on you now."

At this point, he showed sarcasm and sneered, "Hehe, you should know the nature of some people in the Ming Dynasty. Without silver, I guarantee you won't even be able to enter the Forbidden City."

Hosokawa Ono's breath was caught and his expression suddenly darkened.

From the beginning to the end, he was plotted against, but he had no choice but to fall into Zhu Moye's trap.

A chill passed through Ono's heart.

Attack the body, attack the mind, attack the sins.

In a short period of time, he and Lord Congmingwan were attacked from three directions, leaving them with no room for struggle at all.

This guy is too scary, we must not make him our enemy!

Knowing that he was trapped and had no right to resist him, Hosokawa Ono finally accepted his fate.

His face instantly cleared up, and he put on a flattering smile. He said in a sweet voice, "Then Xiaoye will say no more. I will follow the Crown Prince's arrangements. Xiaoye will wait for His Royal Highness's return at the Fulai Inn."

"Farewell!"

As he spoke, Hosokawa Ono walked over to a distance of more than ten meters and stood beside Hosokawa Masato, who was lying on the ground and had already cried until his voice was hoarse.

Seeing Hosokawa Masamoto in such a miserable state, a trace of regret appeared in Ono's old eyes.

The future ruler of Japan will probably be shrouded in a shadow from now on.

Immediately, without giving it any more thought, he carried him on his back, turned around and bowed deeply to Zhu Moye, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing Congming Wan. Xiao Ye then took him away."

Zhu Moye sipped his coarse tea without even turning his head, and uttered two words stiffly.

"get out!"

Hosokawa Ono felt as if he were reborn, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. Fortunately, Zhu Moye did not kill him.

Otherwise, if the only heir of Daimyo Hosokawa died, he would not be able to explain himself even if he obtained support from the Ming Dynasty.

Hosokawa Ono bowed repeatedly, then trotted away, trying to get away from this place of trouble.

Until the two figures walked farther and farther away and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhu Moye stood up, glanced at the enthusiastically watching common people around him, and said loudly, "Fellow citizens of the Ming Dynasty, are you satisfied with the treatment this prince has given these two Japanese?"

More and more common people came to hear the news, numbering into several thousand people. When they saw the prince looking at them, they immediately began to ask questions.

After a moment of pause, the crowd suddenly exploded, with everyone talking one after another, and the noise was like a tide.

"Satisfied! His Royal Highness's decision is truly gratifying!"

"Haha, seeing that arrogant guy being forced to eat sewage, my anger instantly disappeared."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so well-managed and has the Japanese under his thumb. It is truly a blessing for all the people!"

"Your Highness, if you were to become the emperor right now, I, Li Goudan, would be the first to defeat you!"

"Long live the prince!"

There were more and more discussions. Thousands of people had gone from being oppressed to being able to hold their heads high, and they had also seen the crown prince. They were so excited that they seemed to have endless things to say.

I don’t know which guy who was eager to create chaos in the world suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, "Long live the prince!"

The crowd instantly fell silent. One had to know that shouting "Long live the prince" while the current emperor was still alive was a heinous crime that would not only bring disaster to one's entire clan, but would also put the prince in trouble.

"What are you afraid of? The Crown Prince is the only son of the current emperor. He will become the emperor sooner or later. Besides, the law does not punish the masses! Don't you all think that if His Royal Highness ascends the throne, it will be a blessing for the world?"

The guy hiding in the crowd added fuel to the fire when he saw that the situation had quieted down.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then smiled knowingly and shouted in unison:

"Long live the prince! Long live the prince!"

"Long live the prince! Long live the prince!"

……

The sound waves were huge and continuous, reaching the Jiuqu Tianhe River, breaking up the clouds and reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

It seems to be foreshadowing that things are going to change.

"The people's will is in our favor, the trend is set. Fortunately, we didn't choose the wrong side..."

Shang Ming stared blankly at the people who were shouting with fanatical expressions. He felt sympathetic and was glad for his vision.

Zhu Moye also looked slightly excited, and a blush appeared on Bai Jing's face.

A surge of passion is surging like crazy, as if it is about to burst out.

This! This is the life I longed for most in my previous life!

He twisted his neck slightly and looked towards the direction of the capital. His eyes flashed with brilliance and he murmured in a dreamlike voice:

"Zhu Jianshen... you've lost the support of the people... I have no scruples anymore..."

"It seems that I am going to change history in advance!"

Chapter 33 Zhu Moye’s Ambition!

The next day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The scorching sunlight made the ground slightly yellow, and the space seemed to be distorted by the evaporation.

Zhu Moye and his group galloped on horseback through the canyon mountain path, moving at an extremely fast speed like lightning.

Shang Ming, Long Yi and others all had beads of sweat on their faces. Such scorching sunlight was rare in Hebei Province.

Even for masters of internal strength like them, it is impossible to release internal strength all the time to resist the heat.

Shang Ming wiped the sweat from his head, turned his head to look at Zhu Moye beside him, and asked, "Young Master, do you really want to help the Hosokawa family take over Japan?"

You have to know that the Japanese are notoriously cunning. Even if you really help them pacify the Yamana clan, you probably won't be able to get the remaining 30 million taels.

It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to fall out with the coastal foreign countries for a mere 30 million taels of silver. That would obviously be a loss.

Shang Ming didn't believe that the prince hadn't thought of this, so he was very curious why he agreed to that Japanese man.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Moye smiled strangely, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said playfully: "Taking over Japan is inevitable, but..."

Having said this, Zhu Moye deliberately dragged out the last syllable to whet Shang Ming's appetite.

He was full of confidence and said with great enthusiasm: "When the Ming Dynasty sends troops, the country of Dongying will become the capital of Dongying!"

Shang Ming's body trembled violently when he heard this, and he almost fell off his horse.

I never thought that the prince's idea would be so shocking.

He actually wanted to be the greatest emperor in history who expanded the territory!

Among the hundreds of emperors in China over thousands of years, only a few have been able to do this.

Each of them has made great achievements that will last forever, leaving their names in history and being remembered forever.

However, this goal cannot be achieved just by wanting it.

During the powerful and prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Tian Khan Li Shimin launched several expeditions to small countries like Goguryeo, but all ended in failure due to various factors.

It is easy to sanction a small country, but it is extremely difficult to actually attack the next country.

An expedition involves a long journey and a fight, and the soldiers are exhausted both physically and mentally. Moreover, it is common for them to suffer from acclimatization problems when they arrive in someone else's territory.

What's more, the local indigenous people can take advantage of their familiar geography to gain a huge advantage. Often, a few hundred people can trap an army of tens of thousands.

"This... Your Highness... Have you been inconsiderate..."

Shang Ming suppressed his fear and did not point out Zhu Moye's wild idea. He just gave him a brief reminder.

After all, no matter how evil this prince is, he only has an understanding of human nature, politics and other things.

Having watched him grow up, I naturally knew that he had never been to the battlefield and had never even read any military books.
