"Your Majesty, do you really intend to mobilize a thousand men from the two factories and one guard to go to Japan?"

Zhu Moye nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, we need to recruit people from the two factories and one guard, and they must be capable and skilled in martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ming frowned slightly and revealed all the information, saying, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the two factories and one guard combined originally had less than 3,000 people, and those with decent martial arts skills were less than 2,000."

"Furthermore, you deliberately leaked the Sunflower Manual ten years ago, causing them to fight each other and resulting in the loss of nearly a thousand masters. At this point, the two factories and one guard combined only have a thousand skilled martial artists."

"If we deploy them all, I'm afraid there will only be a few hundred people left from the two factories and one guard. They'll be an empty shell, unable to monitor the civil and military officials of the entire court."

"What's more, relying on those 1,000 men, it wouldn't be difficult to help Hosokawa Katsumoto conquer the entire East Japan. But if they wanted to turn against him, destroy the Hosokawa family, and turn the East Japan into a Ming dynasty, that would be beyond their capabilities."

Shang Ming's analysis was very logical and everything he said was true, without any falsehood.

According to Zhu Moye's current plan, it is obvious that he cannot take over Japan. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Hosokawa family destroys the Yamana family and is severely damaged, the remaining troops cannot be destroyed by just a thousand second-rate martial arts masters.

A well-trained army can unleash tremendous power when forming a battle formation. The coordinated charge of a thousand-man cavalry unit is definitely not something that can be resisted by those masters who are good at individual combat but do not understand military formations.

After all, the two factories and one guard are engaged in shameful activities, whether it is reconnaissance, assassination, traps, or even poisoning, they are all things from the dark world.

It was exposed once when dealing with the Yamana family, and it would be useless to deal with the Hosokawa family again.

What's more, if 80% of the forces of the two factories and one guard were sent out, the court would be in a state without any surveillance. At that time, it would be difficult to detect any small tricks played by the civil and military officials in private.

Doing so is obviously not worth the cost.

However, Shang Ming knew that Zhu Moye was definitely not someone who would do business at a loss, and he would never do anything without confidence.

He must have his reasons for doing this.

Shang Ming considered himself to be very smart, but he just couldn't figure out the young emperor's plan. This feeling of frustration almost drove him crazy.

Zhu Moye glanced at Shang Ming, looked at his anxious look, and laughed secretly.

Even if you are extremely smart, you would never have thought that I have a magical tool like the Plane Mall that can make the impossible possible.

However, Zhu Moye obviously couldn't say these words. Immediately, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said grimly: "The main purpose of my sending two factories and one guard is to make the imperial government relax and lose surveillance."

"You should know what I mean."

Shang Ming's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly realized something. He clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"That's right. If we don't give them a chance, there's no telling when these cowards, who have evil intentions but are afraid of losing their heads, will take the initiative to attack. They don't have the courage, so I will give them courage."

Shang Ming frowned and pondered for a moment before continuing, "Haven't you already spread the word that you'll be going to Mount Tai's Jade Emperor Peak to offer sacrifices to the gods in three months? Why are you doing this all the more?"

"stupid!"

Zhu Moye cursed angrily. This Shang Ming was sometimes very smart and sometimes very stupid, which often made him laugh and cry. He habitually wanted to hit him on the head, but Shang Ming, who had been prepared, dodged it cleverly.

After failing to land the blow, Zhu Moye felt too embarrassed to pursue them. He awkwardly retracted his restless hand and said in a deep voice, "These stinking bugs are quite cunning. Even though they knew I would be going to Fengshan in three months, which would be a perfect opportunity to kill me, they couldn't gather together and come up with a perfect plan under the surveillance of the two factories and one guard. They also didn't have the courage to take such a desperate measure and act alone."

Hearing this, Shang Ming slapped his forehead and said in enlightenment, "I understand now. Your Majesty has indeed made a thorough plan. I admire you."

"But... on the Japanese side, Your Majesty, do you really only want the 100 million taels of silver?"

That shouldn't be the case. The emperor just plundered nearly 1 billion silver coins from Liang Fang and his followers. He is not short of money at all now.

Shang Ming was very confused and was even more looking forward to Zhu Moye's earth-shaking plan. His eyes flashed with golden light as he stared at him.

Zhu Moye felt his hair run down his spine as he snorted softly, "Hmph, what's a hundred million taels of silver? I just pretended to be greedy just now, just to let Hosokawa Ono down, so he wouldn't think I was inviting a wolf into the house."

"If we recover Japan and seize the silver mines there, we will be able to make hundreds of millions, or even billions, of taels, not to mention 100 million."

"As for whether a thousand men can recapture Japan, I was able to borrow the flying iron bird predicted by Liu Bowen a while ago. Is it possible that I can't create a magic weapon that will ensure victory?"

Shang Ming's cloudy old eyes finally became clear. He immediately remembered what happened that day and no longer had any doubts in his mind.

The emperor is the emperor. He is meticulous in his planning and can win the battle from thousands of miles away. In a short period of time, he came up with a plan that could kill two birds with one stone, luring the enemy out of its hole and retaking Japan.

There is no one else like him in this world.

Chapter 84 Xiao Tianyi's First Love

"Is Long Yi back?"

Zhu Moye turned his head to look at Shang Ming and asked.

"Your Majesty, Long Yi only set out for the capital yesterday. Even if he gallops, he won't be back until noon tomorrow."

Shang Ming thought about it and told the truth.

"When he comes back, tell him to come see me immediately. I have something important to tell him."

Zhu Moye nodded, gave an order, and left quickly.

After a while, he returned to the room, ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids to go out and guard, then he lay down on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

……

In the vast space of consciousness, Tianyi sat upright on the grass, slightly lifting her skirt, revealing a section of her slender and delicate white calves like jade, and a pair of beautiful, small and exquisite, white jade feet stretched into the lake.

Feeling the cool and refreshing sensation, a hint of comfort appeared on her rosy little face, and her two little legs kept swaying the water waves as she played in the small lake, creating circles of ripples.

Then, as if thinking of something unhappy, he blocked his mouth in grievance and muttered, "You big bad guy, you are so happy eating, but you don't even send some to others. I will never call you brother again."

As he spoke, he kicked his legs in dissatisfaction, slapping the water surface continuously, splashing countless crystal water droplets that dripped onto the grass.

After a while, she seemed a little tired, so she lay down on her back, murmuring weakly: "Hmm... I'm so hungry... I really want to eat some snacks..."

Little did she know that a figure had already appeared out of thin air behind her.

Zhu Moye just came in and heard the little girl's complaints. He couldn't help but laugh and cry, and jokingly said: "Little girl, you should speak with conscience. I just brought you twenty plates of cakes, twenty plates of fruits and vegetables, and twenty plates of dishes this morning, okay?"

"Oh! When did you come in? You scared me to death."

Tianyi was thinking about something, and when she heard Zhu Moye's voice, she was startled and stood up quickly like a carp, shouting.

After a while, her face flushed red, and she mumbled a little embarrassedly, "I was greedy for a moment... and ate it all..."

The corner of Zhu Moye's mouth twitched slightly. Is this girl the incarnation of Taotie? She ate a quantity that could only be finished by ten grown men in the whole morning, and she was hungry again at noon.

Fortunately, he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise ordinary people really cannot afford to support her.

At that moment, I was a little confused. Didn't this girl call herself a fairy? How could she seem to have never eaten in her life and still be obsessed with these delicacies from the human world?

In Zhu Moye's impression, immortals drink nectar and eat fairy peaches and rare animals every day, so they should look down on worldly food.

"Little girl, have you never eaten in heaven before? Why do you look like a starving ghost?"

Hearing this, Tianyi's face turned bitter, and she said pitifully, "Daddy said that immortals should abstain from the five desires and should not be obsessed with food. He never gives people delicious food."

"All they do all day is tell me to practice and not let me play. I'm so fed up with it."

Zhu Moye suddenly realized, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Although Tianyi is old enough to be his ancestor's ancestor, if she were in heaven, she would probably be just a girl of about ten years old.

Immortals are also human beings, especially those who were born in heaven. They have never experienced the hardships of practicing and attaining enlightenment, so how can they eradicate the five desires?

No wonder this girl ran away from home and went to the human world without permission.

As luck would have it, I met him unexpectedly again.

Since she is by my side, I will never let her suffer any injustice.

Zhu Moxie's expression was gentle. He reached out his hand, pinched her soft little face, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be unhappy. Your face won't be pretty if you cry. Smile."

After these words were spoken, Tianyi's watery eyes wavered slightly, and she felt a little touched, but the desire of her foodie soul prevented her from smiling at all.

Seeing that his comfort had no effect, Zhu Moye felt a headache. This girl really couldn't be moved by anything except eating.

He sighed softly, and said helplessly, "I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare a hundred meals for you later!"

Haw!

When Tianyi heard about the one hundred meals, stars appeared in her eyes. She was overjoyed and jumped up and hung on Zhu Moye's body, and kissed him on the face with her little mouth.

"Yeah! Long live my brother!"

After cheering uncontrollably for a while, the little girl's smiling face suddenly froze and she became a little dazed.

Just now, she was so happy that she unconsciously took the initiative to kiss him.

Daddy once said that if you start to feel subconsciously close to a boy, it means you are dependent on him. If there is some unconscious physical contact and he doesn’t feel disgusted, then his little princess is not far from getting married.

Could it be that I have fallen in love with him?

Although Tianyi has lived for nearly a thousand years, her mental state is still that of a teenage girl. She is still ignorant about emotional issues and fell into silence for a while.

"This girl..."

Feeling the warm touch on his face, Zhu Moye chuckled, feeling a little warm in his heart, and turned to look at her.

But she only looked slightly dazed, with her mouth slightly open and her beautiful eyes misty. She was so cute and adorable at that moment that even Zhu Moye was a little dazed and intoxicated.

Suddenly, an impulse surged in my heart, and I lowered my head slightly.

The next second, their lips touched, and Tianyi woke up instantly. She saw that Zhu Moye's eyes were almost close to hers, full of doting and intoxication towards her.

For a moment, she actually forgot to resist, and the two of them just stayed together quietly, sharing each other's body temperature.

After a moment, a trace of clarity appeared in Zhu Moye's eyes. On the other hand, Tianyi was actually somewhat immersed in the kiss and smiled secretly in her heart.

Not satisfied with just a quick taste, his tongue, like a snake drilling a hole, quietly parted her tender lips and penetrated into the warm and fragrant interior.

The siege began, mixing with the sweet scent of cloves.

……

"Brother is a bad guy!"

The little girl buried her head in his arms shyly, punching him with her pink fists.

Zhu Moye stroked her hair and said softly, "Okay, stop making trouble."

Immediately, he said seriously: "I want to exchange for one hundred automatic rifles!"

Chapter 85 Everything is ready

“Humph, my brother bullied me, so I won’t give it to you.”

Tianyi raised her tender lips, turned her head and snorted softly, obviously still upset about Zhu Moye's sudden attack on her.

Seeing the little girl trying hard to suppress her shyness and pretending to be arrogant, Zhu Moye laughed in his heart. He tightened his arms around her slender waist, pressed his face against hers, and rubbed it gently.

In her ear, the voice carried a hint of bewitching magnetism, saying: "My little girl, don't you like it?"

Tianyi was startled, a trace of intoxication flashed across her beautiful eyes, and then she shook her head fiercely, her eyes misted with a layer of water, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, we can't do this anymore..."

The little girl's tearful eyes made Zhu Moye panic, and he quickly asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Oooh...if Daddy knew you did this to me, he would kill you."

Tianyi's sobbing reached his ears, and Zhu Moye felt like he was struck by lightning. His heart sank slightly, and he asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Daddy once said that immortals live as long as the heavens and the earth, while mortals only live for a few decades. Love between immortals and mortals is doomed to be a tragedy. He told me that I must never fall in love with a mortal..."

Hearing this, Zhu Moye's frown relaxed. He reached out and held her little face, wiping away the tears on her face with his thumb, and chuckled, "Little girl, you think too much."

"If it were before, I would still be confused about the matter of immortality. Ever since I met Dugu Qiubai..."

A divine light suddenly shone in Zhu Moye's starry eyes. He was confident and said with great confidence, "I have completely strengthened my martial arts path."

"Dugu Qiubai admitted that he was far inferior to me when he was young. He could achieve the Great Dao, transcend cause and effect, and cut off all the constraints of rules."

"I can definitely do that too!"

That confident and high-spirited look, as if emitting a dazzling glow from head to toe, fell into Tianyi's beautiful eyes, which immediately made her stop crying and gave rise to a sense of security she had never felt before.

For a moment, Tianyi's panic-stricken and anxious heart suddenly became peaceful, without any worries at all.

She nodded obediently, like a docile kitten, and gently leaned her little head against his arms, whispering softly:

"Well... I believe my brother can do it..."

The little girl became surprisingly quiet this time, which caught Zhu Moye off guard.

He doted on her even more in his heart. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched her round and delicate chin. With a little force, he lifted her head up to face him and said with a smile:

"Can I exchange my brother's gun now?"

Tianyi nodded obediently, raised her white hand lightly, and changed several gestures. The next second, a fluorescent light lit up in her hand and disappeared in a flash.

"Okay, one hundred rifles have appeared in my brother's room."
