"Today is the first time I have written a diary, and before that, I didn't like to write a diary. I always feel that the diary is not very easy to remember, and I really have to write it, but it is just food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I see who said what I said. This kind of stuff is too boring in my eyes, and I really can't lift the spirit to write. But if I really write down interesting things, I am afraid that I will leave a lascivious and obscene image for future generations. I really want to remember, and there is also the staff counselor to remember, after all, everything I did is history. It is like there is a clerical room in the palace dedicated to His Majesty's affairs, which is called a true record.

I am a eunuch, and I dare not compare with Your Majesty, but I am in this turbulent era, how can I not leave a true record for history. Whether it is good or bad, everything I do should be unconditionally known to future generations, and my merits and demerits should also be determined by future generations. It doesn't matter if it's three or seven, four or six, or five or five, even if it's penniless, leaving a thousand years of infamy, it's always the conclusion of future generations, and there's nothing to care about.

In view of this, I will write about it, even if I write something I don't like. I only want to correct myself in order to set an example for my countrymen.

Today's account is due to the Eastern Crusade.

I know that China and Japan are very close in terms of ethnicity, culture, geography, and human relations. This point is different from the countries of Europa and the Hulu Tartar outside the Guanwai, and it is truly the same language and the same species. As a materialist, I think that historically, China's relations with Western countries and with the Hu people outside the Guanxi are not as close as those with Japan.

Therefore, since I opened my eyes to the world, I have sought the unification of East Asia, the self-improvement of the Asian people, and the East Asian nation with the Han nation as the core and the main body to stand proudly in the forest of the world, so that those white-skinned beasts know that the center of the world and the center of civilization will always be China, not the West.

The outside must first be inside, the brothers are on the wall, and the outside is insulted. The age of navigation that the Europa people call has arrived, and if we do not unite as the peoples of East Asia, we will inevitably fall behind this era. Recently, I have been promoting the reorganization of the imperial army and the formulation of the battle plan of the base camp, and this is done in order to unite the East Asian nations, to completely integrate the Chinese cultural circle with our Ming Dynasty as the main body, to bring in Japan, Korea, Annam, and other small China, and to concentrate all the manpower and material resources to fight and fight with the Europa people.

Struggle with the sky, the fun is endless! Struggle with the ground, the fun is endless! Struggle with people, the fun is endless!

The countries of Little China, I love Japan the most, that is, what my people of the Ming Dynasty often call Fusang, so this country must be conquered first. In Japan, there are Toyotomi who call them heroes, and the Imjin Rebellion has greatly damaged our country's strength, but I firmly believe that as long as Japan can truly integrate into our Ming Dynasty, then there will be no insoluble disputes, no unavoidable things, and no unavoidable hatred between the two countries.

I hope that in the future, when I am old, I will be able to have a small villa on Mt. Nafuji and 10,000 acres of land in Edo. Every Japanese person I met spoke the same words as me, wrote the same characters as me, did the same things as me, used the same surname as the Han people, and worshiped the same ancestors and gods as the Han people. When our country is in danger, every Japanese will stand up and fight the most resolute struggle against that foreign enemy without fear of sacrifice.

I have never underestimated the Japanese people, this is a branch of our Han people, and their spirit is good. I heard that they have a bushido spirit, which is actually the national spirit of our Han and Tang dynasties in China, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, chivalrous and righteous, and happy to die. I think this spirit is very good, but it can't be called bushido, but it should be called the soul of the Great Han.

In addition to the spirit of the Great Han Soul, the Japanese nation also has many traditional Confucian spirits of our Han people, especially the practical spirit of "to conscience", "unity of knowledge and action", and "knowledge is action" advocated by Yangming Xinxue.

We must retain and absorb these spirits, and in a certain way, these spirits have been forgotten a lot in our Han people, so in this Eastern Expedition to Japan, I must attach importance to the dual conquest of military and spiritual, and the two cannot be biased.

I must make every Japanese proud of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the Han people. This is my task, my goal, and the mission of every Han person. I'm just a forerunner.

Just as I just thought, the Japanese nation has the spirit of a great Han soul, so it is destined to be very difficult to fight against Japan this time. But no difficulty can stop my determination, nor can it stop the iron hooves of my Ming Imperial Army.

For those stubborn reactionaries, I still say the same thing - if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem.

When necessary, it is very necessary to massacre the city, which can effectively reduce the casualties of our Ming Imperial Army.

Okay, this is my first diary, so I won't write so much. It's very late at night, and I'm going to rest at Concubine Tong Jia's, and I haven't treated her well these days. Tong Jia is nearly forty years old, a bit like a wolf and a tiger, although I am young, I am also afraid of it. ——Excerpt from "The Diary of Wei Gong"

................

The unifying of thought and the unswerving goal of economic development and military power were written into his diary by Wei Gonggong.

In line with this goal, after unifying the ideological work of the eunuchs, Gonggong Wei had to start military rectification in order to carry out the Dongfan battle plan.

Following the first meeting of the joint units of the maritime special zone, Gonggong Wei held a special meeting of the base camp on the 8th day of September. The main purpose of the meeting was to establish a first-class division and guard division, and to appoint candidates for middle and senior generals of the guards of the regiment.

Except for Hu Quan of the North Korean Special Detachment and Taro Higashimura of the Phi Island Brigade, almost all the middle and senior generals of the Ming Emperor's pro-army attended this special meeting.

The special meeting was still held at the Chiang Kai-shek Canteen, but unlike the Maritime Special Zone meeting held at the Xiansi Building, the special meeting was held at the People's Building.

On the same day, nearly 100 generals of the imperial army and navy attended the meeting.

The main generals were Cao Wenyao, Wu Fuming, Zheng Duo, Jiang Xifeng, Sanada Ichiro, Wang Dali, Xu Dayou, Chen Guangrui, Wang Dahai, Yamamoto Koji, Anguoji, One-eyed Ryukugi, Li Yanzhao, Ding Xiaogong, Wang Weidong, Shen Shikui, Li Shauji, Xu Biao, Wu Sansi, Xu Guang, Xu Xing, etc. In addition, there are also Zhang Hu, the former Flying Tiger Military Supervisor, etc.

Roughly speaking, the army has the largest number of generals, with more than 60, followed by the navy generals, with only more than 40. The origins of these middle and senior generals are complex, including those who were born in the Flying Tiger Army, those who were born in the three major battalions of the Southern Capital and the soldiers of the honorable people, those who were born in the original Wusongshui Battalion, and those who were born in the Miners of Liaodong.

But they all have a common name now - the Ming Imperial Army.
