The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 286 Confident Haibie

Hearing this, Boyalun Haibie felt very depressed. It seemed that everyone around him was saying the same thing to him, but why was Zhu Xiong Ying, who was the same age as him, so many people afraid of him? Did this person have three heads and six arms?

"Aunt, I am truly unwilling to accept this. Our Great Yuan was once an extremely powerful nation, with a territory even larger than that of the Ming Dynasty today!"

"Why did it turn out like this? I originally thought that if Zhu Xiong Ying was confident enough or lustful enough, he would definitely keep me in his mansion. Then I could take this opportunity to gain his trust and eventually kill him!"

“Even if we can’t kill him, we can still find a way to rescue Father and the others. Who would have thought that Zhu Xiong Ying would be so capable as to send me to this place? But it’s not a big deal, after all, Aunt, you are the Princess Consort of Qin.”

"I've heard that His Highness the King of Qin treats you well. If you're willing to help me, I believe we can still succeed!"

Wang Yuemin sighed when she saw Boyalun Haibie's confident expression.

He didn't think his niece had much chance of success, so since Zhu Xiong Ying had arranged for her to stay in her residence, she must have made ample preparations.

“Niece, listen to my advice. Zhu Xiong Ying’s methods are not as simple as you think. Moreover, his henchmen are everywhere in the court. Even the emperor and the crown prince may not control as many things as he does!”

Wang Yuemin had already passed by. The previous events had instilled great fear in Zhu Xiong Ying, who was truly unpredictable.

Fighting against him always brings a painful sense of powerlessness.

Bo Yalunhai curled her lip, her eyes filled with disdain. She thought it was utterly shameful that her aunt had been so terrified by a child.

"You don't need to worry about this, Aunt. I believe I can succeed!"

On the Japanese island, the brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang continued to expand northward, but their pace of attack was much slower than before. It wasn't that they lacked the ability, but rather that they needed to consolidate their existing territory. Currently, there weren't many mines that had been explored and exploited, so they didn't need as many men.

With so many prisoners captured, clearing them out is going to be a real hassle.

Although many prisoners of war were transported to the Liaodong region and made to farm, a considerable number still remained.

If we kill them all, we're worried there won't be anyone left to mine in the future. These guys still have some use, so it's always good to make use of them.

So they simply continued to raise them, gradually consuming them one by one.

Nevertheless, the Japanese emperor and the shogun were still locked in a fierce struggle.

This greatly frustrated the envoy from the Tuohuochi tribe.

At first, he was extremely confident and wanted the two countries to shake hands and make peace to deal with the Ming Dynasty together. After such a long period of mediation, he was now certain that the matter with Japan had reached an irreconcilable point.

Even if he stayed in this place for a longer time, it would be of no use. He decided to take the risk and support one side. After all, the Japanese emperor was the nominal ruler, and his words should still carry some weight. He held the legitimate position and had allies like them, so they should be able to accomplish something great.

Moreover, he was someone I supported, so I might be able to take this opportunity to control Japan's internal affairs.

After having this idea, he went directly to the Emperor of Japan, wanting to form an alliance with him. The Emperor of Japan was extremely satisfied. As expected, the Shogun, who had already supported him, could no longer associate with him.

This was truly a great opportunity, so they made the decision immediately.

Soon, an alliance was formed between the various tribes of the Japanese grasslands and the Kingdom of Goryeo.

Upon hearing this news, the Shogun's face turned ashen, and he smashed everything he could in his room. "These damned bastards, what are they trying to do?"

"Don't forget that Japan is currently ruled by my shogunate. The fact that they went directly to that puppet emperor shows they don't take me seriously at all. They can't unite without my alliance!"

"One of the advisors said in a low voice."

"Shogun, I believe that these factions have joined forces, which is not a good thing for us. I think we must do something, otherwise these guys will continue to be arrogant!"

After hearing this.

The Shogun nodded. Indeed, that was the case, especially the despicable envoy from the Tokachi tribe. The reason why various countries are now allied with the Japanese Emperor is largely due to his machinations. If it weren't for him, the situation wouldn't be so troublesome now.

A tribe that had been beaten like dogs by the Ming Dynasty has now transformed itself and come to their place, showing off its power. It is truly hateful.

He said with a hostile expression.

"What do you think should be done about this?"

The aide thought for a moment and then spoke.

“Since he has allies, then we can also find allies. Although we have some misunderstandings with the Ming Dynasty, I believe the Ming Dynasty will not hold these things against us. Do you think we can go to the Ming Dynasty to explain and form an alliance with them?”

"The Ming Dynasty is stronger than all of them combined. If you have such a powerful backer, then Shogun, your position in Japan will be unshakeable!"

Upon hearing this, the generals standing nearby were in an uproar. They had just fought a war with the Ming Dynasty and suffered heavy losses. They still had a lot of territory in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Now this person was actually thinking of forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, which sounded rather jarring.

Thinking of this place, everyone glared at him angrily, as if he were a sinner.

"What are you saying? Don't you know that the Ming Dynasty is our enemy? There are still many Japanese people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What you're doing is treason! You're a disgrace to our great nation of Japan!"

The other generals nodded in agreement, while some, knowing the strength of the Ming Dynasty, remained silent.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the Shogun.

The Shogun shook his head and said, "

"Don't say anything yet. I have my own ideas. Tell me your thoughts!"

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up; as long as he could keep talking, there was a way.

It seems the general probably has this idea too, but is just too embarrassed to say it.

"General, although we have some misunderstandings with the Ming Dynasty, who knows whether the Ming Dynasty is here to deal with us or the Japanese Emperor? Let's just say that the previous incidents involving the Japanese pirates were all the Japanese Emperor's idea and had nothing to do with us!"
