The Ming Dynasty was discussing the war against Japan, and the Japanese side was not idle, and the progress was unexpectedly fast.

According to the urgent report delivered by Li Shaoyou, the protector of the Eastern Metropolitan Protectorate, since the shogunate army took Kyoto, it has not stopped for a moment, and it has been clearing the field every day.

The current situation in Japan is like the history of Dolgon who led the Eight Banners Army into the customs, defeated Li Zicheng's Dashun army, and chased Li Zicheng for thousands of miles from Shanhaiguan all the way, making it impossible for them to form effective combat effectiveness.

The current Shogunate Alliance is also a waste gang, and the daimyo of each domain were hunted down and defeated, and some even hid in the mountains with the remnants to become the king of the mountain.

The so-called main "new army" of the Shogunate faction fled from Kyoto to the Osumi Strait, asking for the support of the Eastern Metropolitan Protectorate, and also wanted to enter the territory of Kyushu Island in the Ming Dynasty to seek protection.

Behind the book, there is Li Shaoyou's declaration of asking for war, he said that he did not need the imperial court to send another army, and he only needed to take 30,000 troops to conquer the east to clean up the Japanese.

Zhu Cihong asked the celebrant to reply in court, so that the Eastern Protectorate should not act rashly, and the imperial widow should be in the court, and always pay attention to the situation in Japan.

Fighting Japan is not a child's play, and it is not a matter of sending an army to fight a few battles and then withdrawing troops.

This war against Japan is to be completely conquered, and we must not be careless, and we need to be fully prepared.

In fact, Zhu Cihong himself wanted to fight in person, and he wanted to fight beautifully and neatly to prevent the Ming army from falling into Japan and the Iraq War like the United States in later generations.

Zhu Cihong said solemnly: "The Tokugawa family killed the emperor of Japan, this is a great rebellion!" ”

"What's more, these people dare to provoke my Ming Dynasty unscrupulously, which is unbearable, which is unbearable! I announced that the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, the Protectorate of the Eastern Empire, and the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty have entered the first level of combat readiness! ”

After discussions, the Imperial Council drew up a policy for sending troops to Japan, and sent troops by land and sea at the same time.

The navy was headed by Zhu Chenggong, and a total of 10,000 officers and men were dispatched from the two fleets.

The army was led by Li Shaoyou, who was the protector of the eastern capital, and 30,000 troops were dispatched to the eastern army, and 20,000 Tianwu troops were transferred from the central military governor's mansion to participate in the battle.

Zhu Cihong said that he would go to Japan in person, and no one objected at the meeting.

Nanjing is only a four- or five-day voyage from Japan, and the emperor was able to personally conquer Luzon last year, so it is nothing to go to Little Japan, and it is convenient to go back and forth.

The problem is that the Ming Dynasty needs to prepare for the invasion of Japan, and the departure date is initially set for two months, and God knows how long the Fallen Curtain faction can hold out.

Daming can't send a note to the Tokugawa shogunate, saying that I will beat you, but I am not ready, please stop for a while, and wait for me to come and destroy you when everything is ready in two months.

At this time, it will test the ability of various departments of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, Honglu Siqing Mao Xiang said that he could play a diplomatic role and delay time through negotiations.

Then, Li Tingbiao of the Ministry of Intelligence claimed that Jinyiwei could handle it, and it was no problem to drag him for a month or two by causing a riot behind enemy lines.

This time, Li Tingbiao was going to Japan to preside over the overall situation, and by the way, he would hunt down and kill the kid named Yanagi Taijian.

That dog dares to pretend to be Jinyiwei, who is not good to mess with Jinyiwei, and he is impatient?

Li Yan also offered advice: "Your Majesty, didn't we send twenty officers to train the Japanese new army? The minister felt that he should make good use of this army, first let the Protectorate of the Eastern Capital support their army equipment and rations, and send officers to control them.

When our army conquers Japan, we can use them as the vanguard, and then use them to maintain stability throughout Japan after the war......."

"Well, yes, in this way, the casualties of our soldiers have been greatly reduced, very good!"

Zhu Cihong secretly thought, isn't this the imperial army becoming the imperial cooperative army?

I am really full of talents, these are reliable methods.

Zhu Cihong said: "Secretaries, today's imperial meeting is here, let's go and prepare, and strive to include small Japan in the Ming Dynasty within this year!" ”

"Yes!" The ministers answered.

Zhu Cihong also said: "As for the cabinet, we must fully cooperate with the work of the military aircraft, prepare and deploy food and other materials, and must meet the needs of the army!" ”

Yang Tinglin said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the cabinet will definitely fully support the affairs of the army!" ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Chen Zhenhui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and said: "There is also the Ministry of Rites, don't be idle, let the major newspapers under the Propaganda Department create public opinion!" ”

Chen Zhenhui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, understands that this is not the first time that the Ministry of Rites has done this kind of thing, and every time the Ming Dynasty is ready to send troops to recruit anyone, it will create public opinion.

In the days that followed, Daming became lively, and newspapers across the country were reporting on Japanese content in a big way.

Of course, these contents are not a good thing, and they have pointed the finger at the Tokugawa shogunate, defining the Tokugawa family as the Cao family in Japan, saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not thin on Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first boss of the Tokugawa shogunate, and named him the head of the five elders.

Before his death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also gave his son Toyotomi Hideyori and his wife to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it is said that Tokugawa old dog should do his best to support the young.

However, as soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately forced Toyotomi Hideyoshi to abdicate, and launched the second Osaka War in a row, killing the remnants of Toyotomi.

Now, the Tokugawa family not only got rid of the Toyotomi family, but also killed the king on the street in a frenzy! They are a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous bastard!

The talents of the major newspapers gave full play to their talents, desperately exaggerated and smeared Japan, and rendered them into heinous and brutal dogs, and everyone was condemned!

In the international community of later generations, the United States of America has repeatedly tried and tested this method as a clever trick, as long as they do not like a certain country, before they are ready to launch a military action, they will use all their firepower to propagate public opinion and desperately smear the other side.

Dictatorial, brutal, undemocratic, unhumane, terror-mongering, hooligan states, these big hats are put on each other's heads one by one, so as to gain the support of the state and society, and then grandly raise the banner of justice and launch military attacks.

Lao Mei played this method perfectly, and indeed coaxed a lot of stupid forks.

In fact, the vast majority of the people do not have a very clear understanding of the situation in the country and the world, and can only learn about it through various media in their own countries.

Of course, there are also some "experts" in a certain region who have not graduated from elementary school, and they were invited to talk about the international situation and regional security on the TV station.

Times are changing, the mode of war has also undergone epoch-making changes, and now the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Zhu Cihong, has begun to lead the world in an all-round way.

In addition to newspapers, the Ming Dynasty's propaganda methods also included storytelling, acting and other ways, sparing no effort to carry out propaganda and momentum, smear and demonize the other party, incite national sentiments, and take the initiative to ask the imperial court to launch a war against Japan and maintain world peace.

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have a good impression of Japan, which was not good at living a small life, and under the vigorous propaganda of many parties, their bad feelings towards Japan unconsciously increased exponentially.

Importantly, Japan was an important exporter of Ming trade in Asia, and many merchants and factories had close trade relations with Japan.

Now that there is a civil war in Japan, the situation is turbulent, and many people's business is going bad, which has brought them a lot of losses, and the merchants are worried and resentful.

Moreover, since the last war of tomorrow, the Ming Dynasty won an overwhelming victory, and the people in the country consciously regarded Japan as the little brother of the Ming Dynasty, and now the younger brother is disobedient and messes around to provoke the eldest brother, and must be punished as it should be!

In just half a month, no less than 30 war-inviting activities have been held in various prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, asking the imperial court to send troops to take over Japan.

The public opinion concocted by the Ministry of Rites not only detonated in the Ming Dynasty, but also fermented in the surrounding vassal states, causing widespread concern in various countries.

The king of a country was assassinated by his subordinates, this kind of rebellious thing, in a country with a dynastic monarchy, who can bear it?

The kings and monarchs of various small countries in Southeast Asia opened their eyes wide, wanting to see how Brother Ming would clean up the disobedient Japanese little brother next.
