Kojiro had just established a new government, and everyone supported him, thinking that they could live a peaceful life after overthrowing Su Yuan. But the first thing the new government did was to unite with pirates to attack the Great Dragon Empire, which completely baffled everyone.

This directly led to the people below beginning to waver, wondering whether this new ruler was worthy of their support.

Dairyū's counterattack caused Fusang to collapse instantly, not only because of its own powerful military force, but also because the local people of Fusang were unwilling to support Kojirō.

In less than ten days, Zhou Wu led his South China Sea warriors to completely surround the last capital of Fusang.

Zhou Wu did not adopt a strategy of simply besieging without attacking, but rather focused on winning hearts and minds.

Although the capital was built much better than other Fusang cities, Zhou Wu had no intention of preserving it. He wanted to take the opportunity to erase all of Fusang's own culture, to make this nation disappear from its roots, and to make the world forget its existence.

The cannons fired in unison, bombarding the capital of Fusang. Exquisite buildings were reduced to ruins, and soldiers and civilians fled in terror. No orders came from within the capital.

Half a day later, the capital was filled with ruins and broken walls, and the survivors either stared blankly or cried loudly.

When the dragon soldiers stormed into the royal city, they discovered that Kojiro had already committed suicide.

. . . . . . . . .

After hundreds of years of civil war, the Kingdom of Fusang finally achieved unification. However, the ruler was a Gaoli person who not only failed to bring a peaceful and stable life to the people of Fusang, but also increased taxes, making their lives even more miserable.

So everyone supported the Japanese hero Kojiro again. However, Kojiro, who overthrew the tyranny once again, actually joined forces with pirates to oppose the Great Dragon of the Celestial Empire, thus seeking his own death. Therefore, no one was surprised by his death.

This war between the Great Dragon Empire and Japan shocked the entire Asian nation. Although Japan was an island nation, its fighting strength was definitely among the top in Asia. However, it was destroyed in just ten days in front of the Great Dragon Empire.

If there were any countries that had any ideas about the Great Dragon before, those ideas were completely extinguished after this war.

They were all hoping that the Great Dragon wouldn't come looking for trouble, let alone provoke the Great Dragon Empire.

When news of the victory reached Fusang, surprisingly, although the whole country was still celebrating, it was clear that the joy of conquering Fusang this time was not as great as the excitement of conquering other countries in the past.

Capital.

After Zhou Wu's victory, he was to return to the capital to be rewarded, as was customary.

"Do you have any questions?"

Sitting opposite Zhou Wu, Gu Xinyuan immediately noticed the question on his face.

"Yes, we defeated Fusang. Although everyone was happy, it was clearly not as exciting as when we defeated Gaoli and Dazi before. His Majesty and the court officials didn't seem too concerned either."

Zhou Wu was somewhat frustrated. In his mind, Fusang was the greatest potential threat to the Great Dragon. Although this threat would not emerge for another thousand years, even if we take a step back, it could be considered as expanding the territory of the Great Dragon. However, the civil and military officials of the court seemed to be uninterested.

"You don't understand this."

Gu Xinyuan spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all, while Lu Da, having not read many books, was also quite confused as to why the court's reaction to his third brother's great achievements was surprisingly calm.

"Brother, please tell me quickly. I also want to know. No matter what, Third Brother has expanded the territory for our Great Dragon. Isn't the court's reaction too lukewarm?"

Lu Da naturally felt indignant on Zhou Wu's behalf as well.

"Ah, actually I thought of that a long time ago. Back then, when we attacked Gaoli, the previous dynasty failed to conquer Gaoli three times, but our Great Dragon won. Can you imagine how the whole country could celebrate?"

Zhou Wu and Lu Da both nodded in agreement, and Gu Xinyuan then added.

"The Dazi are even more formidable. Relying on their cavalry, they have been harassing the borders of the Great Dragon Kingdom since its inception. They even have a history of leading troops to besiege our capital. Tell me, shouldn't we be happy that we finally defeated the Dazi?"

"Should."

"Moreover, whether it is Gao Li, Da Zi, or Tu Bo, they all have one thing in common."

"what?"

Gu Xinyuan took a leisurely sip of tea and then changed lanes.

"The countries that the Great Dragon occupied before all bordered the Great Dragon. Now, let's talk about Japan. It doesn't seem to have any deep hatred for the Great Dragon. Even when the Japanese pirates were rampant a few years ago, it was only a small part of the coastal area. Moreover, Japan has always referred to the Great Dragon as the Celestial Empire. There are even many people in Japan who think that Japan should not have fought this war."

Zhou Wu instantly understood. To put it bluntly, Zhou Wu acted too early. He brought the hatred from the future into this world, so he didn't want the Great Dragon to suffer that kind of harm. That's why he nipped the Fusang cancer in the bud. But the others had no idea about these details.

However, Zhou Wu didn't think much of it. He had already achieved his goal, and he hadn't thought about gaining any benefit from this war.

His desire to destroy Fusang was purely selfish, for the sake of future generations. People of this era had no idea how much disaster Fusang would bring to the people of the Great Dragon in the future.

Seeing his third brother's open-minded expression, Gu Xinyuan thought that Zhou Wu had given up hope on the court. He couldn't help but think of his brothers who had fought on the front lines for the Great Dragon Empire. He secretly decided that he must help his third brother and not let him suffer any injustice.

"Don't worry, Third Brother. Even if I have to lose face, I will make sure the court gives you a fair reward."

"Brother, no need, I really didn't expect any big reward."

Although Zhou Wu said that, Gu Xinyuan took it as Zhou Wu being polite.

. . . . . .

After leaving Zhou Wu, Gu Xinyuan went straight to the palace. Lu Da, naturally wanting to do his part, also went to the palace with him.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Gu and the Duke of Lu request an audience."

Li Tiancheng was carefully reviewing memorials when he heard the eunuch report that two people were asking for help. He immediately guessed that it was about Zhou Wu.

"Xuan."

"promise."

As soon as Gu Xinyuan and Lu Da entered the room, Li Tiancheng spoke.

"Are you two here because of Zhou Wu?"

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty, that is indeed true."

Although there is a distinction between ruler and subject, the three of them had a brotherly bond, unlike other ministers. Now that there are no outsiders present, they naturally do not have many ulterior motives in their conversations.

“I’m also having a headache over this matter. Zhou Wu has expanded the territory, and the land area of ​​Fusang is not small. Logically speaking, this achievement should be worthy of being made a king. But you should understand what the ministers are thinking. Do you have any good ideas?”

Because he had been reviewing memorials for a long time, Li Tiancheng's head was a little dizzy, so he rubbed it vigorously.
