Immediately afterwards, Fang Shuzhen continued forward and soon captured the capital of Japan.
Under Chu Chen's previous guidance, Fang Shuzhen led a team of a thousand soldiers toward Fushan.
Kato Ueto, the second-in-command of the Kato family in Toyama, looked at the approaching Xia people with great momentum.
In an instant, all the experts in the family were dispatched.
"Bold Great Xia people, do you know where this place is?"
Kato looked at Fang Shuzhen, who was in the lead, and said coldly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this place will soon become part of the territory of our Great Xia."
"Hmph, if you want to occupy my Kato clan's land, then first ask me, Kato Ueji, and all the Kato disciples if they agree."
After Kato finished speaking, all the family experts drew their weapons, assuming a posture of fighting to the death.
Fang Shuzhen looked at the Japanese experts in front of him and said with a grin, "Your name is Kato Ueji?"
"That's right, it's me."
"Then it's your parents' fault for not giving you a good name. Brothers, let's send him on his way."
As soon as Fang Shuzhen finished speaking, the first row of flintlock musketeers pulled their triggers instantly.
Before those "experts" could react, they were shot down by volleys of bullets, falling to the ground, their eyes wide open in death, lying in pools of blood.
The next day, Fang Shuzhen led his soldiers to take the head of the Japanese emperor and occupy the palace.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers were dispatched to wipe out the remaining forces.
Twenty days later, Chu Chen's coast guard ship appeared at the Japanese port where it had been before.
Chu Chen looked at the somewhat tired group and said, "Alright, everyone, let's rest here at sea for the night. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see the land."
After hearing Chu Chen's instructions, everyone put down their weapons and headed towards the dormitory.
After arranging for people to stand guard, Chu Yi also rushed into the room.
The next day, the people of Japan saw a strange ship sailing behind the warships of the Great Xia.
Then a young man who looked like a gentleman came down from above, followed by a group of masked people.
Wherever he went, the people gave way.
Chu Chen ignored them and simply strolled along, taking in the sights.
He thought to himself that Fang Shuzhen was not bad; in such a war that destroyed a country, he did not see a single civilian corpse.
The shops that were supposed to be open are still open, and the people who were supposed to be living their lives are still going about their lives as before.
Perhaps after this battle, Zhou Shixun sent a large number of people to Daxia to standardize their written language and speech.
Then send men to spread the seeds, and after several generations, the Japanese nation and its people will completely disappear from this land.
Five days later, Chu Chen led a group of people onto a sea patrol ship and headed towards the Great Xia.
In Linhai City, Zhou Shixun excitedly watched the large ship return.
"Chu boy, you've worked hard. How's the battle going?"
"Haha, as expected, we have taken over Japan. This is General Fang's report to you."
Zhou Shixun took the report from Chu Chen and looked at the results of the battle with excitement.
After a long while, Zhou Shixun let out the loud laughter that only an emperor could produce: "Hahaha, you have repeatedly harassed the borders of my Great Xia, harboring wolfish ambitions. Now, this land will officially enter the territory of my Great Xia."
"Chu boy, such a great victory! You and I, father and son, shall drink until we drop tonight!"
Chu Chen smiled but didn't say anything. He secretly winked at Chu Yi behind him, signaling him to take his younger siblings and go have some fun.
Then he changed into a yacht and headed towards Peach Blossom Island with Zhou Shixun, Eunuch Wei, and Murong Huai.
In fact, this victory was entirely within Chu Chen's expectations.
With the coast guard ships defeating Japan's most powerful navy, and with Fang Shuzhen's flintlock musket army joining forces, the outcome was already decided.
But Zhou Shixun was happy, and so was I, so we had to celebrate.
Eunuch Wei and Murong Huai kept whispering congratulatory words in Zhou Shixun and Chu Chen's ears.
Taking advantage of Zhou Shixun's good mood today, even Murong Huai became less reserved.
Soon after arriving at Peach Blossom Fairy Island, the maids prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
Chu Chen also generously took out a box of Maozi and poured a cup for everyone.
Then he stood up and said, "Congratulations, Uncle Zhou, the territory of Great Xia has expanded considerably."
"Haha, we have to thank Chuwa for this. If it weren't for you teaching Zheng Jing how to make weapons, and if it weren't for your powerful warship, this battle wouldn't have been so easy."
"Come, let's raise a toast to Chuwazi together."
After Zhou Shixun finished speaking, Eunuch Wei and Murong Huai both stood up and drank their drinks to Chu Chen.
As they clinked glasses and exchanged toasts, before they knew it, the night had deepened.
During the meal, Zhou Shixun raised his glass to Chu Chen and said...
"Chuwazi, although it was Fang Shuzhen who occupied the capital of Japan, everyone knows that without you, it's hard to say who would have won or lost this battle."
"So, you deserve the most credit, and Japan should change its name. Also, what good suggestions do you have for the subsequent management of Japan, Chu Wazi?"
Chu Chen was also slightly tipsy when he heard Zhou Shixun talk about governing Japan and changing its name.
I was also a little excited for a moment.
Since Zhou Shixun has asked for my opinion now, I have to think about it carefully.
So he said to Zhou Shixun, "Uncle Zhou, it will be a long process to completely turn those people into Great Xia people."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen recounted his earlier ideas about unifying the written language, currency, and sending men from Great Xia to sow the seeds.
Zhou Shixun thought it made a lot of sense after listening to it.
He immediately slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, this cultural invasion is killing people invisibly. Let's do it this way. Chuwa, you name it."
What should we name it? This Japanese country has been harassing Great Xia for years.
Now that it has been destroyed by the Great Xia, it is equivalent to one of the Great Xia's major cities.
They're just separated by a stretch of sea.
Chu Chen also fell into deep thought for a long time before he finally looked up.
I looked at the pitch-black sky.
A phrase suddenly came to mind: "slaves for generations, servants for generations."
Then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said to Zhou Shixun.
"Uncle Zhou, the Japanese have caused a lot of trouble for our Great Xia with their powerful navy."
"Now that they have been captured by our army, doesn't that mean they will live under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty forever from now on?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixun nodded and said, "That's right, it finally relieves my anger."
"Then, Uncle Zhou, how about calling him Hua Pucheng?"
"Huapu City?" Zhou Shixun didn't understand Chu Chen's meaning for a moment after hearing this.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly spoke to Zhou Shixun.
"Uncle Zhou, I can't explain the reasons to you. Please allow me this once, okay?"
"Haha, Chu boy, you're too kind. Whatever you say goes."
After Zhou Shixun finished speaking, he slapped his thigh, then stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Come, everyone, from this day forward, this Japanese country will be called Huapu City. Let us drink together!"
