Zhu Yunwen was not joking.

With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, its improved cannons, and the military capabilities demonstrated by all its soldiers who have undergone special forces training, the Ming Dynasty is well-positioned to achieve this.

Destroying the Eastern Island Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom would be almost effortless.

Faced with such a powerful Ming Dynasty, they not only failed to restrain themselves but also failed to quickly respond with a spirit of submission.

But in private, he continued to engage in underhanded tactics, recklessly testing Zhu Yunwen's limits.

In Zhu Yunwen's view, this was indeed something he could no longer tolerate.

If we continue to tolerate and indulge them, they will truly believe that the Ming Dynasty is an easy target.

Clearly, previous military operations and exercises did not seem to have had a very direct effect.

They couldn't keep the Eastern Island nation quiet for even a few days.

Since that's the case, Zhu Yunwen might as well give them a real beating.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen made up his mind that if the Eastern Island Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom really did anything outrageous this time...

The Ming Dynasty then dispatched its army to sweep across the country and bring both nations under its control.

Perhaps only in this way can we completely extinguish some of the unnecessary ideas of this eastern island nation and the unwarranted ambitions of Goryeo.

Meanwhile, in the royal palace of Goryeo.

The princess of Dongdao Kingdom looked at the new king of Goryeo, Yi Seong-gui, and said:

“Your Majesty, you should know why I have come to see you this time.”

Li Chenggui smiled and nodded, saying:

"Of course I know that our two countries are so close to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is now exceptionally powerful. We should unite and deal with it together."

The princess of the Eastern Island Kingdom nodded and said, "That's right, and nowadays, almost everything in the Ming Dynasty is decided by that grandson of the crown prince. As you know, this grandson of the crown prince is not very old."

Young people always have all sorts of ideas in their minds and like to pursue so-called grand ambitions. And now, is the Ming Dynasty once again a sword hanging over the heads of our two nations?

I believe that if this continues, once this grandson of the Ming emperor becomes emperor, both our countries will likely become his targets. We must be wary of this.”

Li Chenggui sighed, agreeing with what the princess of the Eastern Island Kingdom had said.

After all, such a thing is indeed worrying, but at the same time, there was a sense of helplessness in saying:

"But the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that it is far beyond what our Goryeo Kingdom can handle. Your Dongdao Kingdom has also suffered losses at their hands. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful. Can you and I really contend with it?"

The princess of the Eastern Island Kingdom said with great confidence:

"Although the Ming Dynasty is growing stronger, it is not invincible. As long as our two countries unite, we can definitely deal with it."

Li Chenggui looked at the princess of the Eastern Island Kingdom and asked:

"Oh? I wonder if the princess has any good ideas? Why don't you tell me? If they are indeed feasible, cooperating with me is not a problem."

The princess of the Eastern Island Kingdom smiled and said:

"It's actually very simple. If a large number of soldiers from my Eastern Island Kingdom want to go to the Ming Dynasty, they need to use ships, which is very inconvenient."

If we really have to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, then it would be best if the soldiers of my Eastern Island Kingdom went to your Goryeo Kingdom's territory first, and then joined forces with the soldiers of your Goryeo Empire.

Thus, the Ming Dynasty's northern border was breached in one fell swoop, like a long sword piercing straight into the throat of the Ming Dynasty. And to the north of the Ming Dynasty, wasn't there also the Northern Yuan?

If the Northern Yuan also seizes this opportunity to join in, then if they combine with their tribes to form a single force, there will be three forces.

At that time, we can catch the Ming Dynasty off guard and easily break through the Ming Dynasty's northern defenses.

"Once we break through the defenses, our army can advance rapidly, heading directly south towards the Ming Dynasty, greatly increasing our chances of success."

Li Chenggui frowned and asked:

"Your idea is very strategic, but doesn't the Ming Dynasty have powerful weapons like cannons? It won't be so easy for us to make a deep incursion."

After Lee Seong-gui of Goryeo finished speaking, the princess of Dongdao Kingdom smiled and said:

"The King probably doesn't know this, but although the cannons of the Ming Dynasty are incredibly powerful, they are even more advantageous when used in naval warfare."

Because at sea, the soldiers are concentrated on the ship, and if a bomb is launched, all the soldiers on the ship will be wiped out.

This is why our Eastern Island Kingdom is so wary and dares not send a large number of soldiers directly into the Ming Dynasty by sea. Instead, we need to come to Goryeo, use Goryeo as a springboard, and then enter the Ming Dynasty by land.

In addition, there was another reason: when used on land, soldiers could quickly disperse. Although the cannon was powerful, its effectiveness was greatly reduced once the soldiers were dispersed.

Furthermore, the terrain on land allows soldiers to find cover, greatly reducing the artillery's firepower and rendering it virtually useless.

Upon hearing the princess's words, the King of Goryeo nodded, finding them somewhat reasonable.

The princess of Dongdao continued:

"Furthermore, as far as I know, the Ming Dynasty had a very well-developed road system, with excellent connections between official roads in every place, and the roads were very wide."

This provides us with a great advantage in our long march, making it much easier for our army to advance rapidly.

Perhaps due to the poor roads and various terrain conditions, we might not have been able to easily advance all the way in a short period of time.
