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

Chapter 299 Japan is in even greater chaos

Hua Yunlong was extremely happy at this moment, mainly because his spoils included a considerable number of warhorses. Although they had tried their best to start breeding warhorses, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short time. It seemed that it was faster to plunder the enemy's horses. There were nearly 40,000 to 50,000 warhorses in his possession.

In order to speed up the journey to Korea and bring back more spoils, they basically adopted a "one person, two horses" approach, which resulted in Hua Yunlong's great harvest.

Wait until Huayunlongjiang arrives.

After collecting all the warhorses, he returned to Liaodong with his spoils.

The tribal chiefs waited and waited for a long time before finally receiving news from the front lines. However, the news was not good to them: their troops at the front had been almost completely wiped out. This was not good news, and they felt a pang of heartache.

These warhorses already represented half of what they currently possessed, and now they've all been lost. The crucial point is that they can't voice this bitter loss.

After the battle ended, the tribes of the grasslands hurriedly claimed that it was a misunderstanding and left without even asking for compensation.

When the King of Goryeo was escorted back to Yingtian Prefecture, the officials and common people of Yingtian Prefecture couldn't help but discuss it. When they learned that this person was the King of Goryeo, they were all very surprised. At this moment, several scholars said in confusion.

"Isn't Goryeo our ally?"

"Why have they arrested our allies? This is utterly absurd!"

Upon hearing this, one of the people next to him snorted coldly.

"What allies? Goryeo was indeed our ally before, but now it seems they've formed some kind of tripartite alliance, joining forces with Mongolia and Japan to fight against us!"

"This guy truly deserves to die; arresting him is the least he can do!"

The group nodded after hearing this.

When the King of Goryeo entered the palace and saw its enormous scale, even he was shocked, as he had always studied the Ming Dynasty.

They believed their country was very similar to the Ming Dynasty, and even far superior to it in some aspects. However, they never expected that when they actually came to the Ming Dynasty, they would find that the gap between the two countries was still so great.

Then a teenager appeared in front of me.

Despite his young age, the aura he exudes is extremely terrifying.

This is a kingly aura that even I don't possess.

The King of Goryeo was deeply shocked. He thought that the person in front of him must be Zhu Xiong Ying, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the Ming Dynasty had become so powerful was largely due to this person. Looking at the person in front of him, he felt extremely complicated. This person had achieved so much at such a young age.

Now that he was a prisoner, he felt extremely resentful, but he had no choice but to bow his head.

"This humble subject pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xiong Ying looked at the King of Goryeo in front of him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such politeness!"

"Now that you've come to my Great Ming, just stay here peacefully!"

"As for Goryeo, you don't need to worry too much about me. No one will say anything if the Ming army is stationed in Goryeo!"

"The Ming army will protect the safety of the Goryeo people!"

The King of Goryeo's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this, but given the prevailing circumstances, he couldn't say anything. In any case, being spared was already a great blessing. Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Xiong Ying before him and said…

"In that case, thank you, Your Highness!"

Then the King of Goryeo was taken back directly. At this time, Zhu Xiong Ying arrived at Renshou Palace. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao saw Zhu Xiong Ying arrive at this place. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said...

"I heard that you've conquered Goryeo!"

"Can this be taken seriously?"

The King of Goryeo smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Originally, I didn't have a pretext to deal with Goryeo, but who would have thought that Goryeo, Japan, and Mongolia would form some kind of tripartite alliance to deal with my Great Ming? Since that's the case, why should I be polite to them?"

"Since you've decided to oppose my Great Ming, you must bear the consequences of opposing my Great Ming!"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded upon hearing this. Now that they had bullied the Ming Dynasty, if they remained silent, it would mean that everyone in the world could bully the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"That's right. Our Great Ming is not someone that can be bullied by anyone. Since they dared to betray us, Great Ming will fight them!"

"As for the other countries, let Biao'er handle the talks!"

Zhu Biao was speechless upon hearing this. His own son had made a mistake and he was now cleaning up his mess. Why did he suddenly feel so stifled in his position as the crown prince?

Seeing the displeasure on Crown Prince Zhu Biao's face, Zhu Yuanzhang said with great displeasure.

"Do you have any other objections? I'm your father, do you think I'd let your father go!"

"Besides, this is something your son did. As his father, shouldn't you help him?"

"I really don't know how we raised such a good-for-nothing son!"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao was on the verge of tears. Zhu Yuanzhang had never treated him this way before. Sure enough, everything could change. Thinking of this, he sighed.

Upon learning this news, the Japanese emperor panicked instantly.

The Ming Dynasty's attacks have slowed down considerably recently, which has relieved them. They thought the Ming Dynasty's attacks were over, but who would have thought that this was the case? Now, almost all of their allies are gone.

"They can't be relied on anymore. I guess he'll have to rely on himself for the next war." At this moment, the Shogun, who was standing nearby, also received the news and burst into laughter.

"The Ming army did a great job! I've had my eye on these guys for a long time. These damned bastards don't take me seriously!"

"They actually tried to help the Emperor and the others; they deserved this fate!"

The other generals nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"General, the Emperor has no one to support him now. This is a good opportunity for us. Why don't we take direct action against the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the Shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, who was standing nearby, also had the same thought.

"You're right. The Emperor has no outside support now, so he probably doesn't have many people supporting him anymore. If we continue our attack, we will definitely be able to defeat him completely!"

"When that time comes, I will be the new Emperor of Japan, and you will all be my founding ministers. I will definitely reward you!"

The men were extremely excited upon hearing this, and they thanked the king for his generous gift.
