Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 780

Why did Wei Wu make such a request to Hou Yuanrong?

In fact, the reason is very simple. The key lies in the two key points of "People from all over the world gather in Heian-kyo" and "Suzaku Avenue".

Wei Wu's attitude towards the Japanese pirates has never changed. There is no other option but to destroy the country, exterminate the clan, and genocide.

The navy is currently carrying out the first step. Once the silver mountains and gold mines are mined violently, they will start the next two steps.

Therefore, publicly announcing that he would become a vassal in front of everyone was purely a way for Wei Wu to deceive people and smooth things over.

In matters like this, the more demanding your requirements are, the more credible they will be to people like Hou Yuanrong.

Facts have proved that Wei Wu's approach was correct. From Hou Yuanrong's expression at the moment, it can be seen that he had indeed fallen into the trap.

But what he didn't know was that Wei Wu's real purpose was just to use his identity to gather a large number of Japanese pirates and civilians in Heian-kyo.

To be precise, they gathered on Suzaku Avenue, so that it would be convenient for him to carry out the next step.

Traveling through time to this world, Wei Wu didn't know whether he had traveled through time or into another parallel world.

But no matter what kind of time travel it is, one thing is certain: the blood feud that occurred that year has nothing to do with people today.

Only Wei Wu enjoyed a prosperous era, and that prosperous era was defended by the martyrs with their blood and fought for with their lives.

Since we have enjoyed the prosperity that the martyrs exchanged their lives for, we naturally have to bear the deep hatred of the martyrs.

He wanted to avenge the blood of more than 35 million wronged souls with his own hands, but he knew he couldn't do it and didn't have the ability to do so now.

But now he has the power in his hands, and he can still take revenge for the blood debt of more than 300,000 innocent souls with his own hands.

Before coming here, Wei Wu had already decided in his mind that he would replicate in Heian-kyō what the Japanese pirates had done in Nanjing.

This is why Wei Wu made such a request to Hou Yuanrong.

On the other hand, after hearing the request put forward by Wei Wu, Hou Yuanrong was not dissatisfied but felt secretly happy.

He summoned the people of the world to gather in Heian-kyo and publicly announced that the Japanese pirates would submit to the Ming Dynasty forever and become a permanent vassal state.

This request was nothing to Hou Yuanrong. Since he had decided to surrender, he had made all the mental preparations.

No matter what future generations will say about him, that will happen after his death, and it is not shameful to submit to the Central Plains dynasty.

Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei Dynasty, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, in which dynasty did Japan not surrender? So having Hou Yuanrong is nothing!

At least after surrendering, he could be an emperor in his own right, instead of being a puppet controlled by the shogun.

What really made Hou Yuanrong secretly happy was what Wei Wu said, that he would personally hand the three sacred artifacts to him.

In fact, the Yoshino court of the Southern Dynasty was located in the Nara area, not far from the location of Heian-kyo.

Given the Northern Dynasty's current strength, it would not be difficult to directly destroy the Yoshino court, but they just cannot fight.

You can attack the Daimyo Kingdom below however you want, even if it means beating people's heads into dog's heads, but you must not touch the ones above.

Because the three sacred artifacts are in the hands of the Southern Dynasty, this is justice. Although these things look ethereal, no one can ignore them.

Those who have rebelled in ancient times all started their actions under the pretext of supporting the king or clearing the court of corrupt officials.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was so powerful that if he wanted to control the entire Northern Dynasty, he had to support a puppet emperor to sit on it.

Similarly, Hou Yuanrong was a descendant of the Northern Dynasty emperor, regardless of whether he had the ability or not.

Just based on his identity, he could not harm the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, who was also of royal blood, just because of the three sacred artifacts.

But it would be different if Wei Wu took action. After all, Japan and the Ming Dynasty were at war, so anything was possible.
