The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

“It’s not that we can’t do anything, Ying’er. If we don’t know who the enemy is, then naturally we can’t deal with it.”

"But now that the immortals have given us a warning, letting us know that there are enemies on the other side of the sea that we must eliminate, we will not just focus our attention on the Xiongnu."

"From this day forward, govern the country well, and in the future appointment of officials, consider this aspect more carefully."

"Perhaps it will be difficult to eradicate them in your generation, but at least during the existence of my Great Han Dynasty, we will definitely be able to wipe them out!"

How could Empress Lü not be angry?

After seeing the words on the sky, she too felt a surge of intense anger.

She was one of the people who helped Liu Bang conquer the world, so she naturally had more courage and determination than Liu Ying.

Liu Ying wanted to do something, and she wanted to personally slaughter all those beasts!

But she had to take into account the current situation of the Han Dynasty.

If we disregard the Xiongnu and instead focus all of the Han Dynasty's military strength and resources on that island...

She wasn't sure if she would succeed, but she feared that it wouldn't be long before the Xiongnu would conquer most of the country.

Who knows how many innocent Han people will die tragically at that time!

She was furious; she wanted to resolve the island's future problems herself, but she also knew she needed to calm down.

"Understood, now..."

"Let's see how your father and the others do it."

……

Many emperors with that ability have already begun mobilizing troops and preparing to set off.

However, many people are powerless to do this and can only watch helplessly.

The first people to appear on screen were, unsurprisingly, the Zhu family members.

And it wasn't just Zhu Yuanzhang and his son; there was also the familiar face Zhu Zhanji, and another group of Ming soldiers.

The name labeled on that picture is...

Emperor Xianzong of Ming, Zhu Jianshen!

"Oh?"

"I never expected that all four members of our Zhu family would be ahead of us."

"That guy did a good job."

Old Zhu laughed.

"Emperor Taizu is too kind."

Zhu Jianshen smiled modestly.

"Although we do not know what you did during your time in office, nor whether you were wise or foolish, we are very satisfied with you in this matter."

Old Zhu was too lazy to ask what this person had done during his time in office.

After all, if it's done well, that's fine, but if it's done poorly, wouldn't asking about it be like airing dirty laundry in public?

Even if he doesn't ask, people will still talk.

"Emperor Taizu, at least in foreign wars, Emperor Xianzong has always been assertive."

"He was perhaps the most thorough in dealing with the remnants of the Yuan dynasty outside the Great Wall and those forces that attacked and killed our Ming people."

At this moment, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but jump out.

Others might not know, but he knew it all perfectly well.

Aside from some laxity in his later years and a slight lapse in personal morality, he was undoubtedly one of the most virtuous and decisive monarchs in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty!

"Oh? You can be more thorough than me?"

Zhu Di immediately became interested as well.

During his reign, he launched five northern expeditions, which deterred the Tatars, Oirats and other tribes from engaging in direct confrontation. Was there anyone more radical than him?

"His Majesty the Emperor Chengzu was naturally also awe-inspiring."

Zhu Youjian quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face darkened again.

He really wants to know who changed Emperor Taizong's name to Emperor Chengzu!

Isn't this blatantly proving that his rise to power was illegitimate?

However, Zhu Youjian did not notice his displeasure and continued.

"During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, the Jurchens repeatedly invaded the borders of our Great Ming, abducting countless cattle, sheep, and people. Countless people died tragically under the sword."

"When Emperor Xianzong learned of this, he was furious and immediately ordered his lair to be destroyed and his species exterminated!"

"This is exactly what it means to plough the courtyard and sweep away the cave!"

"After that battle, the Jurchens almost disappeared, and for nearly a hundred years they did not dare to show their faces again!"

"Pretty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di disregarded his anger.

He could only express his satisfaction with Zhu Jianshen's actions!

They plunder and kill Ming people, steal Ming money and grain, and harass Ming borders. This is the kind of method we should use to deal with such enemies!

"Plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves."

Liu Bang looked at the words on the sky and fell into deep thought.

Xiao He quickly offered some advice from the side.

"Your Majesty, you must not wage war on two fronts!"

He knew Liu Bang the longest, and he knew exactly what Liu Bang was going to say the moment he bent over!

He's definitely tempted again!

"Don't we still have plenty of time before our spies find the location and determine the route?"

"Right, Han Xin?"

Liu Bang winked at Han Xin.

Han Xin understood instantly.

"That's right, it will take at least another one to two years. After all, going to sea is a big deal, and we don't have much experience in this area. It's impossible for us to send troops out in a short time."

Xiao He: “…”

Watching the two of them working together, he knew that the national treasury was completely doomed.

"Your Majesty, although the national treasury is still relatively full, we really cannot afford to squander it like this."

You can't expect to feel bad about the days when you're rich, can you?

He was only happy for a few days because the national treasury was full. If he continues to do this, it won't be long before he has to go back to living a frugal life!

Do you know what you're doing?!

"Prime Minister Xiao, there are some things we should do now while we are wealthy. Are we going to wait until we are poor and leave them to our more impoverished descendants to do them?"

“These are things that absolutely must be done. If we don’t do them, it will only be more difficult for those who come after us.”

"When I was short of money, I naturally compromised and negotiated peace. But now, how much money is in the national treasury?"

Decades of accumulated wealth and resources!

You might not get to fight such a rich war even once in ten lifetimes!

If the problems cannot be solved at this point, they will only become more unsolvable as time goes on!

"..."

Xiao He closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and nodded.

"Then scan!"

That's definitely the truth!

He was just heartbroken; he wasn't being unreasonable.

Since it's something that needs to be done anyway, I might as well handle it myself!

This way, he can have some control over the money and food consumed.

"Then it's settled!"

"Han Xin, consider this a warm-up. I'm still entrusting this matter to you!"

"The target is the Xiongnu royal court. You will also wipe them out and destroy their stronghold!"

You're harassing the border, aren't you? You're plundering the people of Han, aren't you?

These countless blood debts will indeed have to be repaid sooner or later!

Meanwhile, in the sky above, all the scenes depicted were one-sided massacres.

The island had few soldiers to begin with, and their weapons were far more rudimentary compared to those of the Ming army.

Faced with the Ming army's powerful cannons that were unloaded from the ships, after a round of indiscriminate bombardment, no one dared to resist anymore, and all that remained was to flee.

But this is an island, where can they escape to?

"run?"

"We've come all the way across the ocean, and you think you can run away? We'll see where you can run to!"

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy. Order Lan Yu to slowly, inch by inch, sweep past them!"
