The group of people who came here was led by Hou Fangyu, and it was Hou Fangyu who should have spoken to Tang Qi first. Mao Pijiang was not ignorant of etiquette, but he forgot about Hou Fangyu in his excitement. This made Hou Fangyu frown slightly, and he felt a little unhappy, but he still bowed to thank Tang Qi and sat down.

After Tang Qi exchanged some casual conversation with Hou Fangyu and the others, he brought up the Youth Club's work. "You all are outstanding figures among our Han people. The future of the Han people's world depends on young people like you. Therefore, I very much hope that you can accomplish more and greater things in the future and contribute to the development of our Han people. Do you have any ideas?"

Tang Qi didn't directly ask Hou Fangyu and the others to work for him, but everyone felt that by saying this, Tang Qi was recruiting them. Hou Fangyu was a little hesitant. He was currently in the Youth Club and was the boss after all. If he joined Tang Qi's team, he would have to obey Prince Tang in everything. But then again, joining Prince Tang's team would also bring him other benefits. ()

Among these people, the one who really had to make the decision was Hou Fangyu. People like Mao Pijiang didn't matter, and Zhang Rencheng and Dong She had become less and less influential in the Youth Society. It didn't matter what decision they made. But at this time, the first person to make the decision was Dong Shu. He was a smart man and had some ambitions. He was not willing to live such a dull life. Tang Yi's invitation was a great opportunity for Dong Shu, and he was unwilling to miss it.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that the Great War was almost over, and the one who had the ability to rule the world was this Prince Tang. Others like Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were no match for this Prince Tang. Zhang Rencheng and Dong Shu were one and the same. He secretly glanced at Dong Shu, and when he saw Dong Shu nodded slightly to him, he made up his mind.

"Your Highness, I am not worthy of your high expectations. I am afraid that I am unable to save the country and the people." Hou Fangyu thought for a while, but still could not make a decision. He had to speak to deal with Tang Qi first. In front of Tang Qi, due to the gap in status between Hou Fangyu and Tang Qi, Hou Fangyu could only call himself junior.

With Hou Fangyu's words, whatever others said was no longer considered to be overstepping his authority. Fang Yizhi was about to speak when Dong Shu spoke first. Dong Shu was actually glad that Hou Fangyu hadn't spoken first. While his own words might not offend Hou Fangyu, they would leave a good impression on the Tang prince. (Update:)

"Your Highness, I have known your name since I was a child. I have always felt deeply regretful that I could not serve under you. It is my honor to meet you this time. I am willing to contribute my meager efforts to the cause you mentioned." Dong Shu stood up and bowed deeply to Tang Lu.

Dong Shu

Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui were quite surprised by this attitude, but Hou Fangyu was in a good mood. However, it was obvious that Hou Fangyu had no restraining power over people like Dong Shu. When it came to interests, everyone had their own plans. Many things in this world revolved around interests. Only people like Mao Pijiang were slow to pay attention to their own interests. Only people like him could talk to Hou Fangyu about the loyalty between them. After Dong Shu finished speaking, Zhang Rencheng also hurriedly expressed his attitude to Tang Lu.

"Your Highness, I am from Suzhou. When Your Highness was in Suzhou, I longed to meet You one day. It is my great fortune to be summoned by Your Highness this time. If Your Highness has any instructions, I am willing to serve you." Although Zhang Rencheng was a person with a rather bad temper, he was very knowledgeable about some of the flattery in officialdom.

Tang Lu used to hate those flatterers, but now that he is in a high position, he also cares about many things that he didn't care about before. These flatterers actually have their uses. Such people are villains, but some things have to be done by villains, just like people often say, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish.

With Dong Shu and Zhang Rencheng's statements, Fang Yizhi and the others naturally expressed their willingness to work for Tang Qi. In the end, only Hou Fangyu and Mao Pijiang remained silent. At this point, Tang Qi spoke up, "Since you all have ambitions, I welcome you. I am currently the Chairman of the Socialist Progressive Party. I sincerely welcome you to join the party and hope that you will become an outstanding member of the Progressive Party."

Tang Qi did not wait for Fang Yu's statement, because Hou Fang Yu was a spineless man who would never have a firm stand of his own. Now Dong Shu and others were considered a statement from his subordinates. Anyone who had a little knowledge of current affairs would know how to choose. The old saying goes, "A good bird chooses a good tree to roost in," and it refers to people like Hou Fang Yu. In history, when the Jiannu people crossed Shanhaiguan and arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, people like Hou Fang Yu comforted themselves by saying, "A good bird chooses a good tree to roost in," and surrendered to the Jiannu people.

Hou Fangyu did not object after Tang Qi made his decision. Although he had no backbone, he was much smarter than others. At this time, he had already realized that the Youth Society was controlled by Prince Tang, and he was just a puppet of the Youth Society. Prince Tang now possessed such great power, and any decision he made was not something Hou Fangyu could make independently. Therefore, Hou Fangyu finally expressed his willingness to serve Tang Qi, and joined the Social Progressive Party with Dong Shu, Zhang Rencheng and others. The Youth Society thus became a subordinate organization of the Social Progressive Party.

When Hou Fangyu was leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Xiangjun again, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was not until he reached the shore that he regained consciousness. Looking over his shoulder, he saw many boats on the Qinhuai River, and heard faint sounds of pleasure, but the warship that Prince Tang was on was nowhere to be seen.

This time, Tang Qi came from Southeast Asia, and his main purpose was not to meet Hou Fangyu and others, but to incorporate Japan into his territory. Over the years, there have been quite a lot of Japanese working under Tang Qi. The Japanese auxiliary army has 150,000 people, and there are nearly 100,000 Japanese reserve personnel. Just based on these Japanese troops under his command, Tang Qi is already the person with the largest number of foreign troops in Japan. Moreover, under the influence of these Japanese auxiliary troops and their families, many Japanese civilians hope to run to Tang Qi. The Kokura City in Japan is now overcrowded with people, all waiting to be recruited by Tang Qi and others.

In recent years, under the instigation of Tang Lu's men, wars have been constantly breaking out between foreign countries in Japan. After these years of annexation wars, there are still more than a dozen large foreign countries in Japan. Although Emperor Nisho and Emperor Gomizuo of Japan took this opportunity to develop some power, those foreign countries no longer take the emperors seriously. Whenever they suffered a crushing defeat, as long as they expressed their loyalty to Tang Lu's men, other foreign countries would never dare to attack again. This is much better than the emperor who became a decoration. The lords of these foreign countries all know that as long as they do not offend the big Japanese in Kokura City, they don't have to worry about being destroyed in Japan.

Empress Noriyomizu was a female emperor. She was still very young when she took the throne. Her father, Emperor Go-Mizunoo, was forced by the former Tokugawa Iemitsu to abdicate and became the retired emperor. Empress Noriyomizu's childhood name was Nyoichikan and her real name was Xing. Now she is an adult and is about the same age as Er. Although Er is not as beautiful as Er, she is also considered a beauty. Because of her status, when Tang Li decided to pacify Japan this time, Tang Li's subordinates set their sights on her.

The reason why Tang Li's subordinates had such an idea was that Tang Li was surrounded by stunning beauties, and Xing's appearance did not catch Tang Li's eye. It seemed that this was a bargain for his subordinates. As for whether it would arouse the resentment of the Japanese, Tang Li's subordinates did not care at all. Instead, they hoped that someone would rise up in resistance, so that they could get more slaves and rob more things in a legitimate way. After all, Tang Li now had a lot of Japanese allies under his command. If he carried out massacres and slave trade at will, it would shake the morale of these Japanese allies.

This time, Tang Qi mobilized 10,000 regular troops, 50,000 Japanese auxiliary troops, 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 10,000 Jurchen cavalry (the Jiannu people were no longer called Jiannu under Tang Qi's command, but were changed to Jurchen).

An army of 130,000 marched to Japan, using Kokura Castle as a rear supply base. The merchants from big countries also enthusiastically sent personnel and ships to help Tang Qi transport soldiers. In a short while, there were nearly a thousand ships waiting for the port of Kokura Castle, but Tang Qi had only about 300 warships, and the rest were from the merchants from big countries. Now these merchants from big countries all knew that as long as Tang Qi decided to go to war, then the opportunity for them to make a fortune would come.

The last time India was looted, although not much cash was obtained, a lot of valuables were obtained. After these things were slowly sold, they were worth more than 10 million taels. However, many merchants at that time were in a hurry to sell the things, and as a result, those merchants who resold them also made a fortune. Most of these merchants who participated in the looting in India also seized some land in India to use as their own plantations, and the profits they obtained were incalculable.

This time, Tang Yu wants to attack Japan. How can these big merchants not be excited and how can they not participate? To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in,,,!
