In October, Wang Sai'er arrived in Beijing under the escort of the Ming Navy. After arriving in Beijing, Wang Sai'er first quietly went to see her younger brother, her current status is special, which makes her not meet her younger brother. But Wang Sai'er is very satisfied with her brother's current living situation, and she doesn't want to transfer her brother into this matter. It wasn't until the third day that Wang Sai'er entered the palace to meet Zhu Youxiao.

"What is the current state of Emperor Gomizuo?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The concubine misses the emperor." Wang Sai'er said coquettishly.

"Okay, let's talk about love first, then talk about things, let's go to the warm pavilion." Zhu Youxiao smiled.

"I'm afraid that the concubine can't serve the emperor when she is old and decrepit, so it's better to serve the emperor with the maids brought by the concubine."

"In my eyes, you can definitely be called a, and your charm is still there." Zhu Youxiao told the truth, Wang Sai'er has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, paying attention to exercise, and his living conditions are good, even if he is over forty now, he looks only in his early thirties.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Then let the concubine serve the emperor. Wang Sai'er didn't postpone it, when she was in Dongying, although the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, she didn't dare to mess around, and she usually relied on grinding mirrors to solve it.

……

After some clouds and rain, Wang Sai'er said coquettishly: "The concubine likes to talk to the emperor like this. ”

"You can talk to you as much as you want?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Emperor Gomizuo is in good shape now, but after smoking Hibiscus, his physical condition is obviously not as good as before, but Emperor Gomizuo is not easy to control, and the concubine wants to let him disappear forever after Ryohito ascends the throne."

"It's up to you to decide this, if you need my help, you can contact me through the East Factory at any time."

"The concubine has another idea, and the emperor must help in this matter."

"Say, I will support you in all affairs of Dongying."

"The concubine hopes that the emperor can hand over the Dongchang manpower in Dongying to the concubine to command."

Hearing Wang Sai'er's words, Zhu Youxiao did not nod immediately. Although Zhu Youxiao did not directly send troops to Dongying, he made a bloody investment in Dongying, and Dongchang's manpower in Dongying has reached hundreds of people, once these people are fully mobilized, they can directly affect thousands of people, or even tens of thousands, which is Zhu Youxiao's only means of controlling Dongying at present.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao did not reply immediately, Wang Sai'er explained: "When the army enters Edo and Kyoto, there will definitely be a rebellion, and the concubine wants to take this opportunity to kill the emperor's lineage, so as to ensure that Yoshihito is the sole heir and eliminate all threats to Yoshihito." ”

"Doesn't Zheng Zhilong support your approach?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The concubine didn't mention this to Zheng Zhilong, but the concubine thought that even if Zheng Zhilong would agree, the concubine didn't want to bet on him alone." Wang Sai'er replied.

"In that case, I agree to hand over the Dongchang of Dongying to you."

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Wang Sai'er has been in Dongchang for several years and knows everything about Dongchang very well, and these manpower is handed over to her, and she can soon use these manpower to build her own power.

"Zheng Zhilong is an ambitious person, he must be more vigilant, in the past, his army was dominated by Ming retired soldiers, and now in his army, the Dongying people are close to fifty percent, which shows that he is also guarding against me."

"With the emperor here, Zheng Zhilong doesn't dare to make any moves, as long as there is enough time and the emperor's help, the concubine will definitely control the situation."

"I will station an army in the Ryukyu Kingdom to deter the Toei."

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

……

Zhu Youxiao and Wang Sai'er chatted for a long time about Dongying in the warm pavilion. After dinner, Wang Sai'er left the palace, and her current identity is the middle palace of Emperor Gomizuo, and sometimes she still needs to be pretending.

Wang Sai'er stayed in Jingshi for ten days and left, where she got everything she wanted, and with these, she could slowly build up a power to compete with Zheng Zhilong.

There was not much opposition from the imperial court to Zhu Youxiao's decision to send an army to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the empire had a long tradition of stationing troops overseas, and now there were imperial troops stationed in Korea.

The Ryukyus were friendly with the Ming Dynasty and had always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. In 1609, the Ryukyu Kingdom was invaded by the Satsuma clan and forced to pay tribute to Toei. Zhu Youxiao wants to station troops in Ryukyu at this moment, and the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shang Qian, is also willing, and of course, no one in the Ryukyu Kingdom dares to object.

Wang Sai'er went to Daming, although Wang Sai'er notified Zheng Zhilong in advance, but when Wang Sai'er went to Daming, Zheng Zhilong was quite worried. Zheng Zhilong's biggest worry is that Daming interferes in Dongying's affairs.

"Since the prince became king, there has never been any disrespect for the great tomorrow, and the great tomorrow has no reason to meddle in Dongying's affairs." Zheng Zhifeng said.

"If the Great Tomorrow wants to meddle in Dongying's affairs, do you still need a reason?" Zheng Zhiguan asked rhetorically.

"Dongying is just a small land, but the Ming Dynasty has millions of people in armor, and the navy has the strength to crisscross the seas, if we want to meddle in Dongying's affairs, we are powerless to resist. But until now, Daming has no intention of interfering in Dongying, and even supports us at any cost, and the matter of Zhonggong Niangniang also shows that Daming has no intention of interfering in Dongying's affairs, but just wants to support Prince Liangren in Dongying. Zheng Zhibao said.

"What the fifth brother said is exactly what I think in my heart, since Daming wants to support Prince Liangren, then we also support Prince Liangren, I believe that as long as we do it according to our agreement with the Zhonggong Niangniang, Daming should not interfere in Dongying's affairs." Zheng Zhilong nodded.

"Lord Wang, it's useless to say anything now, the most important thing is to solve the shogunate as soon as possible and unify Dongying, only in this way can we take the initiative." Zheng Zhibao suggested.

"It is true that the shogunate must be resolved as soon as possible, and only by unifying Toei can we take the initiative." Zheng Zhilong nodded, "But through the last battle of Himeji Castle, it can be seen that with the current strength of our army, we can't completely defeat the shogunate, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"I suggest that you can bypass and send troops directly to the northeast, now that the shogunate in the area is heavily defended, relatively speaking, the military strength of the northeast is much weaker. But once our army captures the northeast, it will be like cutting off the shogunate's arm, and then our army will be completely in control of the overall situation. Zheng Zhibao suggested.

"Send troops to the northeast of Honshu, the shogunate will be saved, and I am afraid that there will be a decisive battle at that time, and our army must also expand." Zheng Zhihu said.

"If you expand the army, people are not a problem, but food and materials are a big problem, and I suggest postponing the repayment of Daming's loan." Zheng Zhifeng said.

"Leave this matter to Xu Xinsu, I hope Daming can agree to postpone the repayment of the loan." Zheng Zhihu said.

"I should agree, the trip to the Ming Dynasty of the Middle Palace Niangniang will not be without effect."
