Xiao Ruxun is very clear, as a typical inland dynasty, for the construction of the sea frontier and the navy, the Ming Dynasty has always been indifferent, the strongest era of the Ming army's naval division is the Hongwu and Yongle period, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang competed, but was flattened by his naval division, so he was very concerned about the development of the naval division, but after the unification, the Ming army did not have a threat from the sea, so it turned to the army, and the naval division was placed.

During the Yongle Xuande period, because of Zheng He's feat of going to the West seven times, there were nearly 4,000 ships of the Ming Army's naval division, and the scale and strength were the world's crowns.

The tactics of water warfare of the Ming army are actually similar to those of North Korea and Japan, and they have always been hand-to-hand combat with long-range strikes, and this tactic of a thousand years ago has been maintained to this day, and it has long been behind the times, but we have never had a strong enemy from the sea, so we have never noticed it.

Therefore, during the Jiajing period, with the advent of the maritime crisis, when the Ming army fought for the first time with the Spanish and Portuguese sailors, who represented the world's most advanced naval forces, they suffered a lot of losses, and finally defeated them with stratagems and captured their ships and cannons, and then they realized that they had fallen behind the world a lot.

The only fortunate thing is that the emperor and some officials of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid, and their heads are much more sober, knowing that they have to catch up after being beaten, using huge manpower and material resources and strong national strength, in just a few years, thousands of new weapons have been imitated to replace the old firearms, and the gap has been narrowed in one fell swoop, but this is not all right, the body of the empire is huge, and it will take several years to turn the body, not to mention the introduction and full implementation of new ideas?

To put it bluntly, with the current strength of the Ming army's naval division, it will bully and bully the Japanese, and if you really want to face the Spaniards and the Portuguese, unless the number of ships exceeds them by a lot, and the tactics of ship and sea are piled up with human lives, it will definitely be a fiasco.

Because we are only imitation, we have not yet gone from imitation to the extent of self-development and transcendence, and we have not taken the strong national strength as the most solid backing for scientific research and development.

Of course, fortunately, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty had an excellent tradition of engaging in scientific research, especially a group of scholars who liked and studied Western studies, such as Zhao Shizhen and Xu Guangqi, so Xiao Ruxun was not worried that he could not find excellent talents to help.

Li Sunsin's tactics of melee collision are unceremoniously said that even in the face of today's Ming army sailors, Xiao Ruxun is sure to use artillery to destroy him, and it is thanks to the fact that the Japanese have few resources and cannot make big ships and artillery.

The Ming Dynasty urgently needs to innovate, and needs to transform its strong national strength into resources that can be effectively used, not just a sentence of "the land is vast and the resources are abundant" and then let others slaughter them.

I just don't know what kind of thoughts Chen Lan has.

In between training the North Korean sailors, Xiao Ruxun looked forward to the arrival of Chen Lan and the arrival of the sailors.

At the same time, in Nago House, Hizen Province, Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu was experiencing the most restless period of his life so far, and after realizing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's abnormality, Tokugawa Ieyasu already knew that he must not send his army to North Korea to die, the situation in North Korea is erosive, and sending troops to death at this time is definitely an act of death, and he has always been very stingy, and he is even more stingy at this time.

To this end, he began to plan how to choose a suitable opportunity to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But every word and paper of this plan, he couldn't help the trembling of his hands, and he suddenly remembered that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a wolf, a fierce wolf, a wild wolf with teeth and claws that was still fierce despite being old, this guy who rushed from the bottom of society to the top of society all the way, is it really so easy to overthrow?

Even if he is already mentally disturbed.

But the fierce wolf is still a fierce wolf, the fierce wolf has a ferocity that others do not have, and until the last moment will not lack the courage to bite the enemy to death, this kind of person is the most terrible.

And the reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu chose to surrender after defeating Toyotomi Hideyoshi was for this reason, he knew that he was born in the aristocracy and lacked something that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had that he himself did not have - the will to die with the enemy.

People from aristocratic backgrounds will always lack such a thing, and this is also the common thing of countless people who have been born from the grassroots but eventually reached the pinnacle of power for thousands of years.

Tokugawa Ieyasu hesitated, hesitated, and even woke up in his sleep by nightmares, listening to the turbulent messages from the outside world and the increasingly unstable situation, which was obviously something he expected and even expected, but at this moment, he had a feeling of wanting to retreat, and even decided to follow Toyotomi Hideyoshi to death.

It was at a critical time that the appearance of a man changed the course of history.

On December 29th, Kuroda Rusui secretly came to Tokugawa Ieyasu's residence, and talked with Tokugawa Ieyasu about things at night until dawn, Kuroda Rusui quietly left, no one knows what Kuroda Rusui and Tokugawa Ieyasu talked about, but what happened afterwards proved that this discussion was of great significance.

December 31, the last day of the twentieth year of Wanli, the North Korean Daegu camp, the generals of the Ming army gathered together to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, because the war is not over, everyone can not return to their relatives for the holiday, but the festival must also be celebrated.

Like the Ming army, the North Koreans are celebrating the arrival of the New Year on the soil of PV, and they see the nightmarish half of the year as a test of suffering, and with the arrival of the new year, all this will change.

They believe that the future will be better, and next year will be even better, and the Ming army will definitely expel the Japanese and recover Korea.

The king of Joseon, Li Hao, also did not know if he gritted his teeth and choked tears from Seoul to send a large amount of meat and wine to the Ming army, the Beijing court sent envoys to comfort the meritorious soldiers who had not returned from the long war, and brought them New Year's congratulations and 50,000 taels of silver New Year's gifts from His Majesty the Emperor, Song Yingchang, as the official of Jinglu, also sent a large amount of flour and oil and salt to the Ming army on the front line as New Year's gifts, and even a batch of fireworks.

Xiao Ruxun got these things, so he asked Yuan Huang to organize it, and wrapped the silver brought by His Majesty the Emperor into red envelopes and distributed them to the soldiers as New Year's gifts, and then ordered the soldiers to drink alcohol tonight, and personally went to the Huotou military camp to order the Huotou soldiers to divide into two groups, one wave to make hometown food for the northerners, and the other to make hometown food for the southerners.

Fishing and cooking fish soup everywhere for everyone to drink, meaning that there is more than every year, make a big pot of roast meat and barbecue for the soldiers to eat, so that everyone can have a good year, even if there is no family by their side, they will not feel sad and lonely.

After all, this is the New Year, especially for these soldiers, it is not good to say, it is the last time.
