Chapter 420: Troops Enter Fukuoka

"This war must sweep away all the opponents of the Japanese state, and if this goal is not achieved, the sword will definitely not be sealed."

Zhang Weixian said loudly, and at the same time looked at Li Dan, the head of the Internal Affairs Office: "Other things can be discussed, but this matter is not good, even if it is to destroy the Japanese country, it will be beaten." ”

Of course, Li Dan knew that he was saying this to himself, but Li Dan didn't dare to object, and hurriedly said: "Of course, this is inevitable. ”

Who is Zhang Weixian? The heir of the British Mansion, there must be Zhang Weixian in the chairs of the future Military Aircraft Department, and maybe he can achieve the existence of the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft. If it was for official business, Li Dan would dare to say something, but for the sake of the war, Li Dan would not dare to say that Zhang Weixian had absolute authority in the army.

Nodding slightly, Zhang Weixian was very satisfied with Li Dan's reaction, this is right!

"Then let's talk about tactics!" Zhang Weixian's gaze swept over the faces of the people present: "This battle is ready to be fought in three stages, and the first stage is to establish a solid base. The Imperial Navy sent troops from Tsushima Island to Fukuoka, an important port in the Japanese Kingdom. ”

"Fukuoka was an important base for the invasion of Korea by the Japanese state, and after taking Fukuoka, the army took it directly, that is, Hizen Nagoya, and the reinforcements of the Japanese were stationed here."

Zhang Weixian clicked two places, and then said loudly: "After the army landed in Fukuoka, Kyushu Island was decided in a war. ”

There are two main ways of fighting against the Japanese invaders, one is to take Kyoto directly, and then attack Nagoya, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hometown, so that you can quickly solve the battle, and then turn back to clean up the mess of the Japanese country. The other is to divide and occupy, first attack Kyushu, and then attack the main island of Wakoku.

The two strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on how the general chooses, and it is obvious that Zhang Weixian chose the second one.

In Zhang Weixian's view, after conquering Kyushu, the Ming Dynasty will have a stable rear, and then it can slowly advance to the Japanese state. At that time, domestic merchants can go to Kyushu to gain a foothold, once the Ming Dynasty occupies Kyushu, with the strength of the Ming Navy, it is simply impossible for the Japanese to seize the island.

"After taking Fukuoka, the sailor will be stationed here!" Zhang Weixian pointed to a place this time, it is the strait across the sea between the main island of the Japanese country and the island of Kyushu, its name is the Guanmen Strait, and the famous Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed here, and Zhang Weixian set his eyes on this place at a glance.

Once the Imperial Naval Division entered the Kanmon Strait, Kyushu Island was really closed, and the Japanese on Kyushu Island couldn't leave if they wanted to.

According to the information of Dongchang, the Japanese have placed 100,000 troops in Hizen Nagoya, which is a reinforcement prepared by the Japanese invaders, and if the Japanese reinforcements here are also annihilated, then things will be much easier. In fact, the army gathered here was mainly Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Uesugi Keikatsu, Gamo Clan, Date Masamune, and a few others.

"Qi Jin, Yu Zhigao, there is no problem for the sailor to capture Fukuoka, right?" Zhang Weixian asked after looking at the two people.

Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao stood up at the same time and said loudly: "Don't worry, Dashuai, there must be no problem." ”

Zhang Weixian nodded, and then turned his head to look at Li Rusong and Cao Wenzhao: "After taking Fukuoka, it's up to you, the army will go straight to Hizen Nagoya, this battle will not only be fought beautifully, but also the speed of fighting, and there is no room for loss." ”

Hearing Zhang Weixian's arrangement, Li Dan's expression was a little complicated, some wanted to say it, and some didn't dare to say it.

"Li Dan and Wei Dynasty, the two of you are responsible for contacting the generals of the Wa Kingdom within the Wa Kingdom, we are here to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to rescue the Japanese king, as long as they are willing to surrender and follow us to attack Toyotomi Hideyoshi, we are willing to accept it." Zhang Weixian spoke again.

These two people are all too familiar with the Wa Kingdom, and it is only fitting that this matter is entrusted to them.

Listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Li Dan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was very afraid that Zhang Weixian would call him indiscriminately, which would be really bad. Now Zhang Weixian has not made such a choice, in fact, it is also very good. As for sending someone to contact, Li Dan directly thought of one person, and he was Tokugawa Ieyasu.

As Li Dan's old customer and business partner, Li Dan knows Tokugawa Ieyasu's personality well.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is not only capable, but also very important, he is very ambitious, and at the same time very difficult to deal with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's just that he can't beat Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he has no choice but to surrender to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In fact, in Li Dan's opinion, even if the Ming Dynasty does not send troops, the Wa Kingdom itself will fight.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought in Korea, suffered heavy losses, and the cards in his hand were about to be played, and that old friend of his would give up such an opportunity?

Apparently not!

However, Li Dan knew that he couldn't stop this battle, the nobles wanted to fight, the gentry also wanted to fight, and no one could stop this battle. Xungui wants to make military merits, make a fortune by the way, stop them, and he will be swallowed into slag. It may be a feasible thing to turn against your old friends in the past.

Zhang Weixian was thinking about another thing, persuasion is not just persuasion, the person who persuaded surrender is to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, there is a very important thing that needs to be done by the Wa State itself, that is, to seize the emperor of the Wa State, the Ming Dynasty needs to support its own forces in the Wa State, but a single force is not feasible, it must be two-pronged, or multi-pronged, and the Emperor of the Wa State is a very good bargaining chip.

It is inevitable that the existence of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was very conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom.

No matter what it is, the emperor of the Wa Kingdom is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the princes, the Ming Dynasty is very clear about this, Zhang Weixian believes that His Majesty will definitely send a very experienced person to do this, and it will do it very well. It's just that this mind can't be said, and it's not beautiful to say it.

"The commander announced that the first battle of the war of the Japanese kingdom would now begin, and the sailors would leave for Fukuoka early tomorrow morning, and the army would depart from the port of Pusan and go straight to Fukuoka by ship." Zhang Weixian's eyes swept over everyone seriously: "Ben Shuai only has one sentence, that is, within three days, Ben Shuai will watch the sunrise in Fukuoka." ”

Fukuoka.

This is a very important port of the Japanese kingdom, and it is also the base of the army to conquer Korea, but the atmosphere here these days is very tense.

Since the annihilation of the sailors of the Nine Ghost Jialong, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have harassed Fukuoka a lot, and there are more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers stationed here, which can be said to be frightened. A few days ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, but the generals of the Ming Dynasty ignored this stubble at all.

It's just that the sailors were wiped out, Tsushima Island was occupied, the coastline was blocked by the Ming army, and Fukuoka knew nothing about the situation in Korea.
