The smooth landing in Osaka allowed Xue Ke to taste the sweetness of the cannon, and the first thing he did after setting foot on Osaka soil was to unload the cannon.

Thousands of cannons were unloaded, along with boxes of shells that were about to bring destruction to Japan.

Due to Japan's geographical reasons, its territory is small, so the distance between Osaka and Kyoto is not far, if it is a cavalry gallop, it may arrive in a few days, but Xue Ke obviously does not have this idea of rapid advance.

The battle plan set by the General Staff Office was to destroy Japan in three months, which was an extremely lenient time for Xue Ke.

"From the beginning of Osaka, the road will be covered with artillery fire, and the city walls will be as vulnerable as reckless, and the earth will be scorched every inch under the thunder."

The staff officers faithfully kept a record of every step of the war, and these will be sent back to China as combat records.

But Xue Ke's behavior of opening the way with ferocious artillery fire in every battle made the entire logistics department miserable.

"A small county town garrisoned by 500 people did not attack, but chose to shoot 3,000 shells, isn't Yongcheng Hou fooling around!"

The chief officer of the logistics department found Zhu Di and cried: "The 200,000 army, I haven't even fought a tough battle until now, and I'd rather wait for three days when I encounter a city garrisoned by 1,800 people, isn't this nonsense." ”

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhu Di smiled and didn't care: "Look at the results that Xue Ke has reported back now, only six people in our army have tripped and sprained their ankles due to carelessness when they entered the city, but they have already annihilated tens of thousands of enemies. ”

10,000 enemies were annihilated, and 6 were self-inflicted.

Of course, this is a rare result in history, but what has been paid behind it is the overtime production of the Firearms Division, the logistics department, and the extravagant expenses of hundreds of thousands of people and tens of millions of national treasury in Fujian.

Xue Ke's war against Japan was not a reciprocal war, and Xue Ke's battle was to take the resources of the Ming Dynasty and the entire Ming Federation!

Including the 200,000 troops he led, only 50,000 really belonged to Daming Erlang, and the remaining 150,000 were from South China, Siam, South Burma and other countries.

"What can be settled with money, how can it be filled with human life."

Like Zhu Di's thoughts, Zhu Yunwen also raised his hands to support Xue Ke's actions: "The treasury has money, and this has just been fined seven or eight billion, if you have the ability, let Xue Ke spend it cleanly." ”

Japan is very rich, not to mention the silver that occupies nearly forty percent of the world, and the private property of the so-called Chrysanthemum Dynasty alone has thousands of tons of gold.

Of course, there may not be so much in this period, because the era of large-scale mining has not yet arrived.

Even if the cost of this war does not pay off, so what?

Minglian's resources are the resources of the whole Asia, and the resources of Asia are equivalent to the whole world in the era when the resources of Asia have not been fully exploited in the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

Zhu Yunwen didn't care how much he spent, in his eyes, he only had the world map in the Wuying Palace.

And Xue Ke, who received the full support of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di, intensified his efforts.

If an army can travel twenty miles a day, it will never go thirty miles.

Everywhere he went, there was a tactic of artillery fire to wash the floor.

After the shells were fired, they landed and set up camp, constantly sending people to urge logistics.

Logistics transport ships loaded with shells from the Ryukyus to the north filled almost the entire ocean.

"Staff officer, do you want to go around Kyoto City with Ben Shuai in the future?"

After watching another day of boring artillery drills, Xue Ke sent an invitation to the staff officer, but was rejected by the latter.

"What's there to visit, it's estimated that it's been blown up."

Even though the army was still hundreds of miles away from Kyoto, both Xue Ke and the staff officer had already begun to discuss the leisure and elegance after the war.

What other resistance could the Muromachi shogunate bring to the Ming Dynasty?

"General, Osaka is lost, and the Ming army's troops are coming."

Without the report of the attendants, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked blankly at the armor of the first generation of Zhengyi generals in his bedroom, and he had vaguely heard the sound of artillery fire from the Ming army in his ears.

Regarding the fall of Osaka so quickly, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't tell how he was feeling at this time.

Because he himself is wondering.

Why not be surprised and surprised at all.

"Now, has the movement of the Ming army been captured?"

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu opened his mouth, he startled the attendants, this hoarse and powerless looked so old.

"Kobe."

Hesitating, the attendant still reported truthfully: "The main force of the Ming army is now in Kobe, it seems that it should be waiting for supplies, once the supplies arrive, it is estimated that it will be a day or two before the Ming army appears outside Kyoto." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was trembling and holding the teacup in both hands, tried several times but couldn't drink it, and he threw it out in anger and smashed this Song Dynasty boutique to pieces.

The strength gap between the Ming Dynasty and Japan is not on the same level at all.

Even though inside and outside Kyoto City, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has already laid out a defensive line, but can this so-called defensive line alone repel the Daming?

Anyone knows that this is unrealistic, even if this is an army of more than 200,000 people displayed outside the city of Kyoto, ready for the so-called fanaticism of all the jade shatters and loyalty to the emperor, but this so-called fanaticism is destined to be vulnerable in the face of emotionless shells.

"Say, can we hold it?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was still in high spirits before the start of the war, lost all confidence at this moment, looked at his attendants in horror and asked, "Can Kyoto be defended, right?" ”

The attendant didn't know how to answer, but just then another man walked in.

This is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's confidant general, the Minister of Guards of the Shoji, who is in charge of the security of Kyoto and the Emperor's guards.

"General, His Majesty the Emperor would like to ask you to go."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face was full of wry smiles and disdain: "What did the emperor call me to do?" Or did he listen to the flickering of the group of great priests again, and was ready to invite the three artifacts to summon the kamikaze? ”

When Kublai Khan conquered Japan, the Eastern Expedition fleet encountered a tsunami on the sea and was wiped out, and the Japanese authorities at that time were also ready to fight to the death like today.

This kind of propaganda consolidated the position of the emperor and played a certain deification effect, and because of this, the defense army that accompanied the desperate defense army with the Yuan army took the word kamikaze.

This is the origin of the so-called kamikaze drones according to folklore.

And now, the teenage Emperor Hoko took the so-called mythical story seriously, and talked to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu about it every day, asking Ashikaga Yoshimitsu how he could invoke the power of the artifact.

"Break Your Majesty's thoughts."

Standing up tremblingly, Ashikaga Yoshiman staggered towards the palace: "It is not the god of sunshine who can save Japan, but ourselves, gentlemen, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, let's work hard." ”

"Hey!"
