Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

King Zhongshan sighed, "How much of our Zhongshan territory is left?"

"Your Majesty, look, there are only this many left, less than half." A minister pointed at the map and drew a circle.

"This is really outrageous. In the fifth year of Hongwu, we have established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. We pay tribute and acknowledge our allegiance every year. But why do they still want to invade us!" The King of Zhongshan was furious when he saw that he had lost less than half of the country.

Deceiving too much!

"Your Majesty, they said they wanted to recover their lost soldiers and recover their homeland," a courtier replied.

Hearing this, King Zhongshan became even angrier. "Bullshit, what do you mean by recovering their homeland? When did our Ryukyu become their homeland?"

The minister coughed dryly, "Your Majesty, they said they are Han people, and it is normal to recover Han territory."

"Nonsense! Don't think that I don't know the history of Central Plains! Although there was a dynasty called the Han Dynasty in Central Plains, at that time, our place was not their territory!" said the King of Zhongshan angrily.

Hearing this, the minister smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you should know that there is a saying in the Han Dynasty that wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, all belong to the Han territory."

"It seems so, but so what?" King Zhongshan did not realize what was wrong at this time.

"Is our Ryukyu Island illuminated by the sun and the moon?" the minister asked in return.

King Zhongshan nodded and said, "Yes, it was photographed."

At this point I still don't understand what's wrong.

"Then are there any rivers flowing into our Ryukyu Island?" the minister asked again.

The King of Zhongshan replied, "Of course there are, otherwise he would have died of thirst long ago. The sea water is so salty and cannot be drunk. There must be rivers on our island."

"Yes, wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the rivers flow, that is Han land. As Han people, isn't it normal for them to recover Han land?" the minister said seriously.

"Bullshit, chicken shit, duck shit, dog shit, pig shit!" King Zhongshan was so angry that he smashed the teacup to the ground.

The minister knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This has nothing to do with me. It was not me who said that. It was the Ming army who said that."

"Their ancestors boasted a few times and the whole world became theirs?" The King of Zhongshan was so angry that his liver hurt.

What the hell...

"Your Majesty, their ancestors also have a saying: Anyone who openly offends the mighty Han will be punished no matter how far away they are! All the people of the great Han will be rescued no matter how far away they are."

The minister said weakly.

"So what?" King Zhongshan snorted.

"Our people beat their people, which is a provocation to the Han people, so they want to kill us. Their soldiers got lost here, so they have to come up and rescue them." The minister explained.

King Zhongshan's face darkened. "When did we attack them? It was clearly them who attacked us!"

"Your Majesty, when they first came to the island to explain the situation, our people pushed one of their soldiers, and the soldier fell to the ground, shouting something like 'he was beating someone up.'" the minister replied.

The King of Zhongshan felt a headache after hearing these words.

"This is fucking... Even if that's the case, they're not from the Han Dynasty! They're from the Ming Dynasty! What are you talking about with the Han Dynasty!"

The minister continued to answer, "They say this Han, not just the Han of the great Han, but the Han of the Han people. Chinese culture is broad and profound."

"This king is a bastard! Doesn't this mean that the final right of interpretation belongs to them? Robbers! This is naked robbery! My dear ministers, what strategy do you have to repel the enemy? Tell me quickly."

The King of Zhongshan was so angry that he slammed the table.

No one in the court, whether civil or military, answered. The Ming army was coming with great force and they could not defeat it.

"Your Majesty, how about ceding land and asking for peace?" It was the minister who stood up and proposed again.

"I'll slap you in the face! Cede land in exchange for peace? What does ceding land in exchange for peace mean? That would be a loss of sovereignty and humiliation of the country! Even if I die in battle or jump off this Ryukyu Island, I will never lose sovereignty and humiliate the country! My dear ministers, whoever can stand up and lead the troops to repel the enemy, I will immediately grant him a land of 300 miles, and appoint him the title of Grand Marshal of the Army of the World, and divide the land and grant him borders! Who can repel the enemy? Who!" The King of Zhongshan looked at the group of military generals.

At this time, a general stood up weakly.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army killed our people and plundered our territory. This is an outrage to both humans and gods, and cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth! But now our soldiers and horses are not strong, and we cannot confront the Ming army head-on. I think we should quickly contact the two countries of Shannan and Shanbei to fight against the Ming army together! They will know the principle of lips and teeth being cold."

As soon as these words were spoken, ministers immediately came out to oppose them.

"We in Zhongshan have been bullying the two countries, thinking of annexing them in one fell swoop. If we ask them for help, I guess they will just laugh at us. After all, they didn't provoke the Ming army, so the Ming army shouldn't do anything to them. They probably can't think of the principle of lips and teeth being cold."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried into the hall.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Ming army has been slaughtering people all the way and is heading straight for the royal city. The front line is in disarray. I'm afraid the Ming army will be able to reach the royal city in less than half a month! The generals in the front ask Your Majesty to send troops to support us as soon as possible! Otherwise, once the Ming army arrives, I'm afraid the people in the royal city will be slaughtered!"

As the messenger said this, he knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at the King of Zhongshan.

There is no need to think about it. At this moment, King Zhongshan's face must be as black as the bottom of a pot.

The messenger's words caused an uproar among all the officials.

Kill them all?

These four words are full of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. Go and contact the two countries of Shannan and Shanbei and ask them to come for support. This is to prevent the ancestral temple from being overturned and the country from being in jeopardy." A minister hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

"Hurry up and go to the Western Paradise to ask for help from the Buddha... No, hurry up and go to the two countries to ask for reinforcements!"
