Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Upon hearing Rhys's words, Xiao Ce suddenly remembered that the staff who helped Tojo Koichi write letters had been sending reports of victory to Japan.

He smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"

"Everything went so smoothly, I always thought the Japanese were just playing along with me..."

Ries laughed: "Actually, it's normal. The journey to Japan has been very smooth. Now they've sent Tojo Koichi here, but they didn't expect that Tojo Koichi has also been controlled by you..."

"So, if we leave this area of ​​the sea, will we be discovered?"

Rhys nodded: "So, they're already discussing it, and they're preparing to advance at full speed! We're definitely no match for them in a naval battle. Therefore, we need to reach the shore as quickly as possible and then land!"

"By the time they discover us, and then relay a series of messages, they'll have already landed. Therefore, we must launch a blitzkrieg..."

"Wait until they've had time to react, then attack... Even if they expected us to attack, they wouldn't expect so many of us..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "How long will it take for our ships to reach the waters of Fusang Kingdom, even if we speed along?"

Reese said, "Our naval personnel have estimated that at full speed, it would take about six to seven hours! So, we can launch our full-speed attack just as it gets dark. By dawn the next day, we should be close to their coast..."

"Even if they discover us, we can handle their reaction. And at night, we can completely turn off all the lights... that way, our warships can disappear into the sea?"

Xiao Ce listened, though he didn't quite understand: "If we do that, wouldn't it be like blinding ourselves? Won't our own ships collide?"

Rhys chuckled and said, “Your Highness, it seems you really don’t understand. No… we have speed, and as long as everyone agrees on the route, we can use signal flares and light signals in case of an emergency… we’ll have plenty of time.”

Seeing this, Xiao Ce nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

As I always say, leave professional matters to professionals.

"Okay, I'll go back to sleep for a while..."

Ries said to Xiao Ce, "Would you like to make a statement?"

Xiao Ce waved his hands repeatedly, "Goodbye..."

That evening, Boudica came over and told Xiao Ce about the battle tactics they had discussed.

It's pretty much the same as what Ries said, it's a surprise attack.

As for the details, Xiao Ce let them decide for themselves.

The next day.

Everyone on all the boats was resting well.

The entire sea area was unusually quiet until nightfall, when the sky gradually darkened.

Their ship had just started moving and was sailing the seas.

Xiao Ce initially thought his seasickness had improved considerably, but it turned out that it was entirely because their ship was stationary.

He only started feeling dizzy after the ship had started moving.

He quickly took the seasickness medicine.

Xiao Ce was awakened by the sound of cannon fire.

Seeing that Xiao Ce had woken up, Da Lei said, "Your Highness, we've already approached the waters of Fusang. This rapid-fire barrage was our doing..."

While Xiao Ce was still in a daze, a messenger came over.

Originally, I wanted to report to Da Lei, but after seeing Xiao Ce wake up...

He then reported to Xiao Ce.

"Your Highness, everything went smoothly. Their port only had about fifty warships; the rest were cargo ships. We annihilated all their warships...and have now landed..."

Xiao Ce asked with some surprise, "Only fifty-odd ships?"

“Indeed, Your Highness. Because we adopted a segmented attack strategy, the first group of small boats has already taken care of the patrol boats.”

"So, they didn't even realize what was happening when we got close. And this is just one of the ports in Fusang, but it's the largest... Their other warships must be located in other ports."

"We have now organized the troop transport areas to dock, and the remaining warships are forming a defensive posture..."

Xiao Ce had heard Boudica say that they were planning to attack their main port, and if successful, their main warships would blockade and defend it.

Cover all army landings.

Upon hearing the messenger's words, Xiao Ce immediately felt no more dizziness or blurred vision.

He ran straight up to the deck.

At this moment, the sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon, while the coastline in front of them had been blasted into a sea of ​​fire.

Many of the Japanese navy personnel were caught off guard, and some even jumped off their ships.

Some retreated directly to land.

At this point, the warships' cannons were used as if they were free, bombarding the port continuously as the ships approached.

The fleeing sailors screamed in agony...

Looking at this extravagant style of play, Xiao Ce knew without a doubt that it was the Slavic style of play.

This kind of extravagant style of play was something I didn't enjoy when I was being beaten.

However, now that Xiao Ce was on the offensive, he felt a surge of pride.

After nearly an incense stick's worth of fire had covered the area, there were almost no survivors left on the shore.

Their ships, carrying army troops, rammed directly into the convoy that had already been bombed to pieces...

The soldiers began landing in an orderly manner.

Everything went even more smoothly than I had imagined.

The fact that things went so smoothly was, of course, partly due to Xiao Ce's efforts.

Among the staff he captured, one had served in the navy and had given them a clear map of the area.

This made their surprise attack and ambush go very smoothly!

However, it must be said that the Japanese navy reacted quickly after learning that the port had been attacked.

Their troops stationed near Fusang launched a counterattack when they landed.

However, the warships in the port were now bombarding the troops stationed there in resistance.

This formed a protective barrier for the artillery shells, forcing the Japanese army stationed nearby to abandon their plan.

After the combat personnel from the first few ships disembarked, the artillery fire ceased.

The first group to come down were all crew-cut soldiers, who rushed out and scattered in all directions.

Having secured a favorable position, they began to defend it.

When the artillery barrage stopped, the Japanese army tried to continue their attack, only to be met with a fierce counterattack from Xiao Zhan's troops.

The garrison here numbers only a few thousand...

After being repelled twice, Xiao Zhan saw that their army, numbering over 100,000, had descended...

"Commanders of each division, proceed with the attack according to the designated objectives..."

So these crew-cut soldiers went berserk, and following the map originally given to them by Tojo Koichi, they began to attack in all directions...

The Slavic army was afraid that the Xiao people would use them as cannon fodder, so they put them last when planning their attack.

Their plan was to make it easier for them to escape should they encounter setbacks.

However, to their surprise, everything went exceptionally smoothly.

While the Xiao Kingdom's army was fighting fiercely, the Xiao Kingdom's soldiers were still lining up to disembark from their ships, which made the Xiao Kingdom's soldiers very anxious.

So, after they came down, fearing they might miss the opportunity, they all began their attack.

The people of Fusang, who lived by the sea, were dumbfounded when they saw the army, which was as dense as locusts.

Xiao Ce's original intention was to kill everyone on this side.

He had no good impression of anyone in Fusang.

But then they thought, those prisoners of war are all experts at growing potatoes.

I was thinking that if the people here didn't resist, then we could let them go and grow potatoes.

After all, we'll still need manpower for future development here.

Therefore, Xiao Ce had them hold up flags and told them that as long as they surrendered, they would be captured.

You can spare their lives, but you must kill them if they resist.

Although they were beasts, Xiao Ce still possessed humanity, stating that he would not kill ordinary people, including the elderly, children, and women...

Of course, all of this is based on one premise: that they surrender.

As it turns out, many wars are games played by those in power.

The ordinary people surrendered quickly, obediently handing over all their weapons and food.

Everything went very smoothly.

Now Xiao Ce's captured advisors will be useful.

They then established their main camp in a location that was not easily bombed from the sea and was also not easily attacked from the land.

Xiao Ce then ordered several of his advisors to be brought over.

After witnessing their army's unstoppable advance, several advisors felt that their decision was absolutely correct.

They kowtowed to Xiao Ce and paid their respects.

After lighting a cigarette, Xiao Ce said to them, "Do you know why I called you here?"

The staff member nodded repeatedly.

Seeing his advisors turn away, Xiao Ce asked with some surprise, "Oh? You know?"

The advisors nodded: "Indeed, Your Highness, it is clear that you need some people to manage the prisoners."

"We are from Japan, so controlling them is relatively easier..."

"Indeed, Your Highness, the King of the Northern Desert... actually, while we were on the ship, we came up with a very good plan. It would allow you to take control of the entire Fusang Kingdom as quickly as possible..."

Xiao Ce said to his advisors, "We're not slow either. Your Fusang territory is like a long worm, narrow at both ends. We just need to advance. We can sweep through it in a month... Moreover, it's clear you haven't left many people on your homeland, you've gone straight out to fight your way out... So, my 600,000 men have swept through..."

The aide nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! That is indeed a solution, but I must say, we still have many arsenals, shipyards, and factories funded by foreigners, all of which are very good... If you blow them all up, Your Highness, rebuilding them will be troublesome. We have a way that might make it easier to take over Japan."

"You're not killing the people here, which clearly means you want a useful Fusang Kingdom, not a ruin, right?"

After hearing the chief advisor speak, Xiao Ce became interested and asked, "Oh? What's the plan?"

The advisor said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it's actually very simple. The people of our Fusang Kingdom are living a very miserable life. Various families exploit them and then invade other countries... So, as long as we use the name of Tojo Koichi and say that we are revolting against those families' exploitation of the people... we will definitely gain the support of the people, and they might even help us."

"After all, what the people want is to have enough to eat... Moreover, I believe that all the families, including the Emperor, are completely bewildered right now... We directly raised the banner of the Tojo family, making them think that it was a Tojo family uprising, and then went to deal with the Tojo family. On the one hand, they will definitely fight amongst themselves."

"On the other hand, we can get the local people to respond to our call..."

Xiao Ce thought it made sense: "What you said does make some sense... but this requires Tojo Koichi's cooperation."

The advisors nodded: "Isn't Tojo Koichi just a lapdog now? Didn't you use your 'Xiaoyao Pill' to control him...?"

Xiao Ce listened and said directly, "Okay, let's do it your way."

Seeing Xiao Ce agree so readily, the advisors were full of surprise: "Your Highness, you agree?"

Xiao Ce said, "We can spread it like this first, let me see the effect, and then you guys go and implement it..."

The staff members nodded in agreement.

"Alright, get back to work. I'll send some people to assist you..."

The advisor said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, are you...you...aren't you afraid we'll run away?"

Xiao Ce said to his advisors, "Even if you escape, I will still sweep through and win... You'd better pray that I don't catch you... Moreover, if you escape, I will expose your crimes... At that time, you will not be tolerated anywhere."

"And now you're all obediently acting as my dogs... So, the people of Fusang that I leave behind will definitely need to be managed... Whoever is close to me and performs well, I'll naturally make them the leaders..."

Several advisors nodded in agreement: "Your Highness, you're right. That's what we were thinking too... So, what about Tojo Koichi...?"

Xiao Ce said to them, "I will send someone to find him... He has been tamed now, and I will have him appear with you when the time comes."

The staff members nodded and then left.

After the advisors left, Da Lei asked, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that by doing this, we'll end up benefiting them?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "His method can indeed help me stabilize the people of Fusang... I have a way to control them!"

“I do need their military factories, and most importantly, they have shipyards here!”
