Because whatever Zhu Yunwen does has a certain reason, it's not up to Feng Shenglai to ask any questions.

This military exercise was a great success. Zhu Yunwen believed that it would not only deter the Eastern Island Kingdom, but also make other countries overseas realize the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

This will curb some of their reckless ambitions.

That evening, Zhu Yunwen ordered that the five hundred special forces soldiers be well rewarded.

The entire Heishui County, including its people, officials, and soldiers, was immersed in overwhelming joy.

This time, Zhu Yunwen demonstrated the military capabilities of the Ming Dynasty on the coast of Heishui County, not only eliminating more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, but also ensuring the peace of the people of Heishui County in the future.

This also gave them a great sense of relief, and perhaps they wouldn't have to worry about the Japanese pirates anymore.

However, while some rejoiced, others grieved. Just as the people of Heishui County in the Ming Dynasty were cheering and overjoyed,

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Eastern Island Nation.

At this moment, the Emperor was filled with worry. Looking at the princess standing below, he asked with utmost seriousness:

"More than two thousand people were wiped out without any chance to resist?"

The princess of the Eastern Island Kingdom also looked very unpleasant, and nodded, saying:

"Yes, Father. The Ming Dynasty wiped out more than two thousand of us with only five hundred men, and they didn't even fight in close combat, but with cannons. The power of those cannons was truly terrifying."

The Emperor frowned:

"In my memory, although the cannons of the Ming Dynasty were powerful, they were far from reaching this level of power, and it seemed difficult to use them in naval warfare."

Princess Dongdao spoke:

“Father, this matter is too unusual and completely beyond our imagination. I have decided to investigate it thoroughly. In addition, I have an idea.”

The Emperor asked in confusion:

"You've always been clever and quirky, with all sorts of strange and wonderful ideas, but many of them have actually worked. I wonder what strange idea you've come up with this time?"

Princess Dongdao said:

“Father, I plan to extend an invitation to Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Ming emperor, to come to our Dongdao Island.”

The Emperor frowned: "You want to invite him here? After your last trip to the Ming Dynasty, where you prepared to defeat them in various ways, you've already put them on guard. The warriors you brought last time even planned to use the rule of 'swords have no eyes' to kill him. If you invite him this time, he definitely won't come. After all, he'll definitely think it's a trap."

The princess of Dongdao Island smiled:

"Precisely because they won last time, I firmly believe that he will come to the Eastern Island this time if I invite him. I have met him, and I know that this Crown Prince is a very confident, even arrogant, person."

He possesses his pride, and he certainly has the right to it. But precisely because of this, he cannot refuse my invitation. If he doesn't come, people will likely say he's afraid to come to my Eastern Island nation.

Isn't he incredibly capable in every way? Not only can he compose poetry, but he also possesses formidable weapons. He's even learned some martial arts, and now he commands such a formidable army. All of this demonstrates his immense power.

A strong, confident, and arrogant person cannot refuse an invitation, or rather, a provocation, from someone they perceive as weak. Therefore, when I invite him, he cannot refuse; he will definitely come, even if it means gritting his teeth.

Hearing what the princess of Dongdao said, the emperor felt it made sense, and then asked:

"So what exactly do you want to do by inviting him to the Eastern Island Country?"

The princess of Dongdao Island remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"I want to get the secrets of his powerful weapons from him. After all, the reason why this grandson is so powerful and confident is because he has some very powerful weapons."

"Once he comes to our Eastern Island nation, we can obtain some secrets about weapons from him. Then we can manufacture those weapons ourselves, and then we won't have to fear his Ming Dynasty anymore."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor nodded repeatedly, finding it reasonable, and then smiled and said to the princess:

"I thought you were still not satisfied and wanted to bring Zhu Yunwen to the Eastern Island Kingdom to kill him!"

Princess Dongdao shook her head and said:

"I'm not that stupid. If I really tricked him into coming to the Eastern Island and killed him, then the Ming Dynasty would probably fight us to the death. Right now, the gap in strength between us and the Ming Dynasty is still huge."

Unless we possess sufficient strength and the weapons manufactured by Zhu Yunwen, we can completely turn against the Ming Dynasty without any hesitation.

Therefore, the purpose of sending Zhu Yunwen to the Eastern Island Kingdom was merely to trick him into revealing the secrets he possessed, and it was impossible for them to do anything to harm him.

That's why I trust Zhu, and Yunheng understands we wouldn't dare hurt him. So he'll definitely come; that's my confidence, and it's also Zhu Yunheng's confidence.

The Emperor thought about it carefully, though he felt it was somewhat risky.

But it's still worth a try.

After all, as long as Zhu Yunwen is invited to Dongdao, and nothing is done to harm him, that should be fine.

This way, the two sides will not have any conflicts in a short period of time.

Therefore, this risk is controllable. As for the information obtained from him, that depends on how the Princess of Dongdao implements it.

If successful, it would be a tremendous success, bringing great benefits to the Eastern Island nation.

Furthermore, mastering such technology can enable rapid mass production.

At that time, the eastern island nation will be able to rise rapidly.

The princess of Dongdao Island revealed a sinister smile again and said:

"If we can use a honey trap to keep Zhu Yunwen in the Eastern Island Kingdom, that would be the best outcome."

In this way, his value can be amplified and utilized infinitely. Therefore, I believe he can create enormous value for our Eastern Island nation.

Such a capable person would become a powerful trump card in our hands. At the same time, it would deprive the Ming Dynasty of a strong heir.
