The Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's daughter ran away from her arranged marriage, terrifying Zhu Di.

"His Majesty!"

"In my humble opinion, that's absolutely impossible!"

Zheng He stated his judgment without hesitation.

He had been to Japan.

Of course I know what kind of state Japan is in now.

During the early Yuan Dynasty, he launched two expeditions to Japan, but both ended in failure.

But after two major battles...

It also emptied the Kamakura Shogunate's coffers.

Not long after, Japan began the Northern and Southern Courts period.

It took the Ashikaga family three generations to barely unify Japan through a combination of coaxing and deception.

To be honest.

In Zheng He's eyes, Minamoto no Michiyoshi was the King of Wa, appointed by the Ming Dynasty.

In reality, he was essentially equivalent to the Zhou emperor.

The feudal lords below completely disregarded the orders issued by Yuan Daoyi.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if Japan didn't fall into internal strife.

Help Jianwen restore the country.

It is tantamount to a fantasy.

"If it were Minamoto no Michiyoshi, what divine weapon or artifact could have given him that suddenly sparked his ambition?"

Zhu Di stared intently at Zheng He.

According to what was shown on the celestial screen.

So-called industrialization is not a high-barrier path; it's a path that requires the permission of immortals to take.

As long as someone can figure it out and has the courage to carry it out, that's fine.

Is it possible that Zhu Yunwen could figure it out?

Or to be even more straightforward.

Who can guarantee that, throughout the whole world?

Is this the only sky screen?

Whenever he thought of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But Zheng He remained unconvinced.

"emperor……"

He knew Zhu Di all too well.

Anything that could possibly be related to Zhu Yunwen.

In Zhu Di's eyes, those were matters of paramount importance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to go on his voyages to the West.

"never mind."

"I might as well speak frankly."

"Having traveled to so many foreign lands, I have witnessed many instances of powerful ministers usurping the throne."

"But there are examples of powerful ministers who have usurped the throne but have themselves been usurped by other powerful ministers."

"Only Japan is an example."

In my opinion...

"Even if Japan lives for another thousand years or so, there is no hope of it ever rising above its former glory."

"They can't even understand their own family affairs."

"I don't have the time or inclination for that."

"To help Emperor Jianwen restore his kingdom?"

Even powerful ministers can be sidelined by other powerful ministers.

This in itself is enough to demonstrate that there are major flaws in the country's system.

In Zheng He's eyes, Japan was at the very bottom of the hierarchy of foreign vassal states in the Ming Dynasty.

A country that only knows how to overthrow its superiors.

What kind of threat could it possibly pose?

It's better to worry about Xu Erniu's plot to usurp the throne than about Japan attacking.

As for your question about who Xu Erniu is.

Xu Erniu was a vendor who sold stinky tofu at the entrance of Zheng He's house.

"Is it really impossible?"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zheng He gave Zhu Di a resolute reply.

If it were someone else who questioned Zhu Di in this way...

Zhu Di had already lost his temper.

But this was Zheng He after all.

Zhu Di knew Zheng He's temperament well; he would never make such a boast without absolute certainty.

Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?

Just then, from Shen Kan's computer screen above the sky, came the cursing voice of a middle-aged man.

"Damn it, a cowardly soldier is one coward, but a cowardly general makes a whole army of cowards!"

"Why don't you dare fight the brigade commander?!"

This sound suddenly rang out.

This really startled Nanping.

After confirming that no outsiders had intruded, Nanping looked at Shen Kan with a puzzled expression.

"Immortal Master, what is this...?"

Shen Kan looked in the direction of the sound.

It was then discovered that Nanping had accidentally canceled the pause button on his electronic pickled vegetable dispenser.

"Where you'd call it a play."

"It's about things that happened hundreds of years after your fourth uncle died."

A hint of confusion flashed in Nanping's eyes.

"Fourth Uncle, this happened hundreds of years after he died."

"So, they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?"

Shen Kan's lips twitched slightly.

Considering Nanping's mental state.

After much deliberation, he still didn't tell Nanping that the Ming Dynasty had been dead for hundreds of years.

I guess so.

"Who are they fighting?"

"Japanese people."

Nanping nodded thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Zheng He was on the other side.

They didn't show much shock.

He had known about the existence of the Sky Curtain for a long time.

They also knew that several hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty would fall into chaos.

However, judging from the image on the sky...

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty already possessed those so-called divine weapons.

The day of its revival should not be far off.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

"I never imagined that hundreds of years later, the civil and military officials of our Great Ming Dynasty would still be so...so harmonious."

I saw Wenwu and Er bickering in the show.

Both Zheng He and Zhu Di felt a strange sense of familiarity.

There's no need to talk about anyone else.

During the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao had many arguments.

If it weren't for the later success of the Jingnan Rebellion.

History books will inevitably record that the two were at odds, which led to the defeat at the front.

On the sky.

Seeing Nanping's reaction.

Shen Kan was clearly taken aback.

This is not the kind of reaction she would normally make.

"Aren't you worried that the future generations of the Ming Dynasty won't be a match for the Japanese invaders?"

Shen Kan looked at Nanping with a puzzled expression.

After spending the last two days together.

In front of Shen Kan, Nanping gradually grew bolder.

When Shen Kan asked her that question, she didn't act too coy.

She stated her opinion directly.

"The Ming Dynasty soldiers in the play already have so many long guns and short cannons."

"To deal with those mere island barbarians."

"Isn't it a piece of cake?"

After saying that, Nanping playfully stuck out her tongue at Shen Kan.

Obviously.

In her eyes, the Japanese were not much different from Zheng He.

Although it's rather disgusting.

But it was still too inexperienced to threaten the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming Dynasty declines further.

How could they not even be able to deal with a small country like Japan?

Available in the next second.

Shen Kan's words left Nanping and Zhu Di and Zheng He, who were standing in front of the sky, stunned.

"yes."

"Normally, it should be done by hand."

"It's a pity. Who could have imagined that centuries of trade and tribute would end up producing such a wolf cub?"

Upon hearing this,

Nanping was taken aback for a moment.

Then he looked at Shen Kan in disbelief.

"Immortal Master".

"You mean to say..."

"Was Japan... also a scourge to the Central Plains during that chaotic period you mentioned?"

Shen Kan shook his head helplessly.

Even though he knows it's all in the past, he still talks about this history.

But my mood still couldn't help but feel heavy.

"More than just 'also'?"

"In that chaotic era, the number of Ming Dynasty citizens who died at the hands of the Japanese probably exceeded the total number of all other foreign nations combined."

"On the battlefield alone."

"Thirty-five million people died."

"This doesn't even include the countless ordinary people who starved to death while they were trying to plunder food supplies."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty under their rule."

"You're not even allowed to eat a bite of plain flour!"

Shen Kan's words.

It's like a sharp dagger.

It pierced Zheng He's chest deeply.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao felt as if they had been hit hard in the chest with a heavy hammer.

Thirty-five million people!

The entire Ming Dynasty had only sixty million people!

This does not even include the ordinary people who starved to death!
