"A rare opportunity."

Cheng Mu had already made up his mind. This little Ryukyu cannot be returned.

Indeed, by stationing troops in Xiaoliuqiu by himself, he was giving Zhu Di some eye drops, which somewhat highlighted his dishonesty. But if he withdraws his troops, Little Liuqiu will once again become a barrier for the Ming Empire.

At that time, if you want to conquer the Ming Empire again, there will be many new obstacles.

This sharp sword, even if Zhu Di is unwilling, still hangs over the head of the Ming Empire.

"Your Majesty, that humble minister is going to talk to the Ming Empire in person."

Guo Jia understood.

Although doing so will cause conflicts between the two countries. But what Cheng Mu meant. That's what he has to follow.

"Um."

Cheng Mu nodded: "Send an order to Cunxiao to lead the troops to Xiaoliuqiu."

There are only 500,000 troops on Xiaoliuqiu now. Although the Tianlong Army is powerful, its number is still too small.

Naturally, transferring Li Cunxiao's Flying Tigers to Xiaoliuqiu would have the effect of stabilizing the situation.

Of course there is one more point.

That means that he has decided to occupy Xiaoliuqiu, the land of Fujian, and return it to the Ming Empire.

Eye drops can be used, but strong drugs cannot be used.

In general, he still wanted to take Xiaoliuqiu under his command without a single soldier. Now is not the best time to start a war with the Ming Empire.

There has been news from the Song Empire that the battle may be extremely stalemate.

There is also Zheng Zhilong's strategy that has been set long ago, and this plan has already begun to be implemented.

Naturally, it is currently impossible for the Apocalypse Empire to fight on three fronts.

Some strenuous.

"Obey!"

Guan Hai took the order. He is not only going to dispatch the Flying Tiger Army now, but the Apocalypse Legion under his command probably has to act at this moment.

He didn't think too much, if the Ming Empire doesn't let go, then it will fight!

 …

"It's really unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"

Ming Empire, Yingtian Mansion, Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the whole hall was restless, and all the civil and military officials were very angry.

"This Apocalypse Empire is too deceptive!"

"Your Majesty, the last general requests to go to war!"

"Yes, teach that arrogant emperor of the Apocalypse Empire a lesson!"

"My Daming's land, I can't let it go!"

When the news came back that Xiaoliuqiu's Tianlong army had not withdrawn, everyone was angry.

They pointed at the Apocalypse Empire from a distance and began to curse. Even those who are filled with righteous indignation are already asking Zhu Di to send troops to conquer.

At the beginning, ceding the territory of the Sand Clan in the south had already made them feel ashamed.

And now. If Little Liuqiu is ceded again, the Ming Empire will lose face!

Those of them who are courtiers have no face to face the dead Zhu Yuanzhang after death!

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and looked at these courtiers who were filled with righteous indignation, but he didn't speak.

Indeed, he was angry.

But the position of the emperor these days has made his self-cultivation much deeper. He can be angry, but he can't show too much in front of his courtiers.

However, under the wide dragon robe, the veins on his hands were already bulging.

He also made a deep imprint on the dragon chair made of gold!

"Order."

Finally, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth: "Reward Qi Jiguang with a thousand-year-old ginseng, and order him to practice as a soldier immediately after he recovers."

"Chang Chang is back, drill the navy!"

Little Liuqiu, he can't cede it.

Since the Heavenly Apocalypse Empire wants to invade so dishonestly, then he will fight again!

"The humble minister obeys the order!"

Yang Changsi took the order.

There are still many capable ministers in Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, Yang Changsi, Yu Qian, Yang Yanhe...

"and also."

Zhu Di thought again, and he ordered Yu Qian: "Yu Aiqing, go to Shenlong Island yourself."

"Tell Zheng Zhilong to get him ready."

"By the way, look at his strength!"

At the beginning, when Zheng Zhilong sent a letter, Zhu Di didn't pay much attention to it, and it could even be said that he dismissed it.

And now, he had to consider Zheng Zhilong's suggestion again.

"My minister complies."

Yu Qian took the order.

Although he really wants to go to the Apocalypse Empire now. But it seems that Zheng Zhilong's side is more important.

 …

Little Ryukyu.

When Cheng Mu's order was issued, the Flying Tiger Army from Fujian immediately came across the sea.

Although there are no big ships, there are countless small sampans.

In addition, under the **** of Zhang Shun and Zheng Yisao, hundreds of thousands of people crossed the strait without any danger.

"Really, a treasure land!"

After stepping on Little Liuqiu, Li Cunxiao couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face. It seems that he has also seen the important strategic position of Xiaoliuqiu.

If you can occupy here.

The long coastline of the Ming Empire will be ravaged by him.

"So, we're going to have an uphill battle."

Zhang Shun nodded.

Although he didn't know what kind of situation his country could negotiate with the Ming Empire. But what he has to do now is to be nailed to death here like a sharp nail.

The flag of the Apocalypse Empire must stand here!

"Going to die!"

Li Cunxiao looked grim.

At this moment, he wished that the Ming Empire would go to war with him. At that time, he will have the opportunity to step into the real ghost realm.

Half-step ghosts and gods, still too weak.

"Then please, Your Majesty, sacrifice to heaven as soon as possible."

Elder Qi on the side said, "As long as His Majesty reports to heaven, then Xiaoliuqiu will officially become the land of our Apocalypse Empire."

Generally speaking, after occupying a piece of land, you can identify with this piece of land by offering sacrifices to heaven.

Its function is naturally to enhance the strength of the guardian.

That's right. If Qi Lao stands on his own land now, his strength will increase.

But there are also hidden dangers.

If Xiaoliuqiu is occupied by the Ming Empire, the fortunes of the Tianqi Empire will be damaged.

One pros and one cons, this needs to be decided by Cheng Mu himself.

This is still different from the extension of the National Games here.

When the fate of the country comes here, you can regard this place as a subsidiary of your own country. When the emperor comes here in person, you can get the same strength bonus as in your own country.

But other soldiers or guardians cannot be blessed.

Just like some arms skills, skills such as defending mountains and rivers and resisting foreign humiliation will not take effect.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, the occupied land officially became part of the country. The various buffs that the country possessed naturally came from it.

Not only the emperor has a strength bonus, but also the guardians of the country and veteran soldiers with specific arms skills can exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

However, the risk is too great.

Therefore, many times, when many countries fail to completely secure the victory in foreign wars, they generally do not sacrifice to heaven.

Worried that the land would be taken back after offering sacrifices to heaven, and the fate of the country would be reversed.

On the side of the Apocalypse Empire, things are a little different.

Since it is decided not to refund, it will not be refunded. As long as Xiaoliuqiu officially becomes a part of the Tianqi Empire~lightnovelpub.net~, Qi Lao's status as a guardian will take effect.

It may not be possible to raise his strength to the level of the altar.

However, even if the strength of a small realm increases, that is one more hope of victory.

"The news has been sent back."

Zhang Shun understood what Elder Qi meant, and he said with some worry: "Everything depends on what His Majesty wants."

Regardless of whether he sacrificed to heaven or not, as long as he did not receive an order to retreat, he would not retreat a step!

"In that case, let's recruit troops!"

Li Cunxiao stood up again.

Now, more than one million soldiers on Xiaoliuqiu are still too few.

To fight against the entire Ming Empire, there must be at least two million-level super **** legions.

Only in this way can there be hope of resisting Liu Bowen who is behind the altar.
