The middle-aged man's eyes seemed to spit fire as he gritted his teeth and said:
"With a tyrannical ruler in power, we were able to make great strides, but she has made us weak and cowardly in foreign wars. Yet, she is ruthless towards our own people!"
"If we had launched a major offensive back then, how would these Japanese have dared to invade!"
“That’s right. If we show the slightest weakness, they will take advantage of it. That’s just the nature of the Japanese!” The scholar agreed wholeheartedly.
But then, his eyes sharpened:
"But little do they know, we are not weaklings who will be bullied by others when we are fighting hard!"
"If the ruler of a country is weak, then the entire Great Gan will be weak!"
"If our monarch dares to fight and struggle, how could we, the people of Daqian, ever retreat a single step!"
As he spoke, his face gradually flushed, and his voice grew increasingly louder:
“In the past, when I was in Xijing, the Tuyuan Kingdom invaded.”
"The prince led his army! In this battle, hundreds of thousands of them were killed!"
"Countless Tu Yuan soldiers were killed in the massacre. That battle terrified every Tu Yuan soldier."
"Those Tu Yuan soldiers were slaughtered, losing their armor and fleeing in disarray! They came to fight us with great fanfare, but in the end, they fled back in a sorry state!"
"The general who led the troops was named Bai Qi. Faced with the Tu Yuan soldiers who wanted to escape back to their country, he kept them all in Xijing and ordered them all to be buried alive! Not a single one was spared!"
These words stirred the emotions of the crowd, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but shout "Bravo!"
"Good! That's how it should be!"
"If you dare to invade our territory, be prepared to die here!"
The scholar nodded, but said with some regret:
"Unfortunately, this person was left in Xijing by the prince to defend against the counterattack of Tuyuan Kingdom."
"Now, I don't know what's going on."
The middle-aged man followed up:
"This man is so ruthless and decisive. If he were to lead an army in the East China Sea to fight against the Japanese, he would surely wipe them out completely!"
"Indeed! But Your Highness has more than just one capable general under your command!"
"Previously, my brothers from the Crimson Tide Alliance sent word that in the battle of Yanluo Mountain, the Prince led many generals and annihilated the henchmen sent by the imperial court!"
"After that, they headed south, but the roads have been blocked these days, making it difficult for news to get through, so we don't know how the battle is going now."
"Once the prince marches into the capital, then we can..." The scholar clenched his fist, his face full of excitement.
A little child tilted his head and asked, "Does it mean to be an emperor?"
The scholar glanced at him and said, word by word:
"That's one point, but the most important one..."
"It's a major undertaking to revitalize the nation!!"
"Revitalize and work hard..." the child murmured, his eyes filled with confusion.
The scholar continued:
"My child, you must know that our Great Gan has always been a powerful nation!"
"No matter which dynasty or era, no matter how many storms we weather, we will always be a force to be reckoned with!"
"In foreign lands, which country doesn't fear me when I make a big move? It's just that in recent years, some incompetent people have taken control of the government, causing the country's strength to decline."
"But even so, we are still a dragon, and when it is restored, those who come to cause chaos will be driven away!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions brightened, and they all cheered.
But suddenly a child's voice rang out:
"Uncle Zhang, do you mean that all the people who killed my parents will be sent back?"
"But...but this way I can't avenge my parents...Waaah..." It was a thin, pale child, his eyes red, who started to cry.
Not long ago, his village was attacked by Japanese soldiers. If he hadn't been herding cattle outside, he would have been killed along with them.
Upon returning to the village and seeing the corpses scattered throughout it, he made a solemn vow in his grief to avenge his parents.
At that moment, a roar followed his words.
But the scholar's face was flushed red, and his handsome features were filled with passion:
"The prince I know is not a soft-hearted person!"
"The Japanese have invaded our Great Khan! The Prince will not only exterminate these Japanese invaders, but will even..."
"No! It definitely will!"
"He will definitely go to Japan and deal with them personally!"
I have thoroughly investigated the affairs of the Chiyan Army in the past!
The scholar was none other than Zhang Ye, who had parted ways with Qin Ze in Xijing!
Shortly after arriving in the East China Sea, Japan attacked, and Zhang Ye gathered his brothers here to resist the Japanese offensive.
Although the cities in the East Sea had garrisons, these troops were no match for Japan. Of course, there were also traitors among them.
With the assistance of these traitors, the Japanese army, which was already prepared for war, was almost unstoppable at the beginning, capturing many cities in succession!
Compared to before, the Japanese army that came to fight this time is far larger and stronger than imagined!
Zhang Ye was well-versed in history and had traveled extensively throughout the entire Daqian region. Therefore, he could almost be certain that Fusang was truly prepared to conquer the entire Daqian region this time!
But Japan, which was no match for Da Gan a few years ago, now dares to do such a big thing. Even if Da Gan is currently in turmoil, it is still not something they can shake.
As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things are not normal. There must be someone supporting them behind the scenes in Japan!
This perfectly aligns with the Japanese national character of devoting themselves to others!
If he doesn't rely on large-scale military operations and instead chooses invasion, then he might end up relying on another country.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye's gaze gradually deepened.
