At the beginning of September, Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, returned to Nanjing, with a letter from the Japanese Emperor Shaoren.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor is the lord of China, the king of all vehicles, respectfully honoring the mandate of heaven, ruling over all nations, owning thousands of cities, sealing millions of miles, guests from all over the world, and paying tribute from all directions, which can be described as a grand ceremony of the world, and I envy it......"

In the Qianqing Palace, Wu Zhong read this letter of state in a frustrated manner, and when he read that the emperor claimed himself, he stopped suddenly.

Dingwang Zhu Cijiong said: "Brother, the lord of this small country, arrogant and arrogant, does not know how to count the etiquette......"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "Keep reading." ”

Wu Zhong continued: "I live in a far and weak country, a small country, a land of water, a continent of mountains and seas, a city of less than sixty, a feudal territory of less than 3,000, and I also have the wish to enrich the country and strengthen the army. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor hopes that His Majesty will save the people with the virtue of Yao and Shun and the holy law of the ministers, and from then on he will always be single-minded, serve the Heavenly Dynasty with loyalty, and be friendly to all countries with faith and righteousness."

“....... Special envoys, bow to His Majesty, but the kingdom knows it. ”

After listening, Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, and secretly said that this Japanese emperor is a little self-motivated.

Well, I'll teach you, first of all, you have to cut the feudal domain first......

At present, there are more than 200 feudal lords in Japan, and only a few dozen have been wiped out and disabled by the Ming army, and there are nearly 200.

At that time, the Ming army was only targeting the Tokugawa shogunate, and these daimyo sat idly by and were only responsible for watching the play.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer all of Japan and occupy all their lands, these 200 or so feudal lords and daimyo would inevitably unite to fight back.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty had to put at least 100,000 troops in Japan and fight for a year or two.

Hong Chengchou is not stupid, if the Tatar Qing Dynasty increases its troops on a large scale, the total strength of the Japanese-Qing coalition army can reach hundreds of thousands, and the Ming army has to continue to fill in people, maybe it will fall into it for several years, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Because the Ming Dynasty has been on the agenda in recent years to restore Jiaozhi and pacify the Indochina Peninsula, and the situation in the South Seas has become more and more unstable, there is really no time to entangle with the Japanese.

So, let's let the Japanese play slowly, the more chaotic the better, and then the pot will be served.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty wanted Japan to compensate five million taels of silver, because Japan really had no money, so it could only pay in installments and take the silver mine as collateral.

The Iwami Silver Mine, which was a large mine, was the largest silver mine in Japan at this time, and throughout the 17th century, the Iwami Silver Mine accounted for one-third of the world's total silver production.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought North Korea, the main funds were taken from the Iwami silver mines.

The "Osaka Treaty" signed tomorrow, the Ming Dynasty undoubtedly benefited the most, ceding land, indemnity, trade, garrisoning, the Ming Dynasty fully carried out direct shipping and trade with Japan, and obtained preferential policies for import and export taxes, Japan was forced to open the country, and gave up a large number of national interests.

Japan, the stronger you are, the more he licks you.

In an online poll conducted in the twenties of the twentieth century, the three countries most hated by the Japanese were North Korea, China, and South Korea, and the friendliest country, the United States, ranked first.

What does this mean? Cheap!

Hate the country that has been invaded by yourself, but like to bomb your own country with an atomic bomb and colonize your own country, isn't this cheap?

Not to mention the power caused by the two atomic bombs, the US military bombed 98 cities in Japan in the late stage of World War II, dispatching more than 33,000 bomber sorties, killing 230,000 Japanese and injuring 35 others, and turning nearly a quarter of Japan's houses into ruins.

There was also the bombing of Tokyo, which killed 140,000 people and burned down more than half of the city's houses in three bombings in 1945 alone, leaving millions of Japanese homeless.

Decades later, U.S. troops were still stationed in Tokyo Bay, next to the Japanese capital, in Edo Bay, where Ming warships were stationed.

In this way, the idea that the friendliest country in the minds of the Japanese is still the United States, which is a bit strange.

Therefore, if you don't fight, you can't do it, and the Ming army's bombing of Edo doesn't know how many licking dogs were blown up.

In addition to this letter of state, Dingwang Zhu Cijiong also brought a secret letter from Emperor Shaoren, hoping that Emperor Daming would marry his sister, the former Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi.

After reading the content, Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Shaoren's little abacus is very good, and he wants to be my brother-in-law!" ”

He asked Zhu Cijiong: "Have you seen the empress?" Is it pretty? ”

Zhu Cijiong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest brother's words, the younger brother didn't ...... Didn't see it. ”

The place of negotiation was in Osaka, but the Empress was in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

Zhu Cijiong suddenly remembered that the Japanese Emperor Shaoren's kid invited him to Kyoto many times, and also sent a few Japanese beauties, it turned out that he wanted to match his eldest brother and his sister.

This kid's routine is quite deep! Fortunately, the lonely king accepted the little beauty and ran away, without his way!

"Oh, I haven't seen it, I don't know if it's beautiful or ugly, so forget it." Zhu Cihong's tone was quite regretful.

Zhu Cijiong didn't react yet, but heard Zhu Cihong wave his hand and said: "Go down if it's okay, be more modest, when you are young, don't let the princess sue in front of your imperial sister-in-law, saying that you don't do 'right' things." ”

Dingwang Zhu Cijiong got married before going to Nanyang two years ago, and married the cousin of Queen Xu Chenyun, who is also a businessman's family.

But this kid is very careful, he goes out to mess around at every turn, and his heart is far inferior to Zhu Cihong, who is upright and not lustful.

"Brother obeys!"

Zhu Cijiong laughed twice and hurriedly retired.

After finishing the affairs of Japan, Zhu Cihong began to work on the war to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty occupied important strategic positions such as Kyushu Island, Yalu River, and Phi Island, and had formed a huge encirclement network against Tatar Qing, just waiting for an urn to catch turtles.

The battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty was scheduled for the spring of the eighth year of Tianwu, during which the governors of the five armies in the south, south, northwest and central armies all handed over their notebooks and asked them to participate in the war.

Taqing is the old enemy of the Ming Dynasty, since the Wanli period of the slave chief Nurhachi called the Khan, the two sides have been at war for decades, I don't know how many Ming army veterans look forward to participating in the war of annihilation, to their military career to draw a successful end.

On the fifth day of the first month of September, the military aircraft drew up the troops and generals to enter the Korean war, and Zhu Cihong gave the imperial approval, and asked the military aircraft to submit at least three combat plans.

Originally, Zhu Cihong wanted to select all young generals to participate in the battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty, so that they could hone their skills.

However, seeing the invitation of these veterans, Zhu Cihong finally chose many veterans, mixed among young and old.

The efficiency of the military aircraft was very fast, and it only took two days for several battle plans to be handed over to Zhu Cihong's dragon case almost at the same time.

The battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty was proposed half a year ago, and in the past six months, the Zan Painting Department has conducted many war games.

The most stable strategic plan is to attack from the north to the south, and the northern route will be a joint attack on the northern and eastern capitals, and the 100,000-strong army will enter the dynasty from the Yalu River.

The Ming Royal Navy assisted the Northern Route Army to land on Fur and Sumeru Islands, uprooted the two main roads into Korea at Tieshan and Xuanzhou, and besieged Pyongyang, an important military town in the north of the Qing Dynasty.

The southern route of the army departed from Nanjing, crossed the sea into Korea, landed in Busan, and penetrated directly into Shengjing, the capital of the Tatar Qing state. (Incheon is too close to Shengjing, and it is a mudflat, which is blocked by the Qing State)

Phi Island and the newly occupied island of Kyushu served as a place for the front-line logistics supply of the Ming army.

On the sixth day of September, the cabinet planned to support the logistics provinces of the war, namely Zhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, and North Zhili.

On the seventh day of the first month of September, the military planes issued an operational notice, and the whole army entered the first level of combat readiness, and a total of 50,000 troops from various localities were transferred to participate in the battle, and they must be concentrated in the ports of Nanjing, Zhoushan, and Denglai before the first day of February in the eighth year of Tianwu.

The troops of the Eastern Protectorate and the Northern Protectorate, including the troops of the Mongolian tribes under it, totaling 100,000 horses, must arrive at Jiuliancheng on the Yalu River in Liaodong before the first day of the second month of the eighth year of Tianwu.
