The best way to unite two very divided groups has never been a charismatic co-leader, but an extremely powerful common enemy.

While Japan's two major forces were preparing for war, Xiao Ruxun did not take a vacation.

In fact, he did not have time to take a vacation, he was convening a high-level strategic meeting of the generals of the staff and the army generals at the General Staff, and Wu Weizhong, who had just returned from Japan, also attended the meeting.

The time was the ninth day of the third month of the second year of Longwu, the withdrawal of the army in Iwami Town had ended, and the southern soldiers returned to their hometowns in Zhejiang and Fujian, reunited with their families, and enjoyed a month or a half month of vacation, while the 10,000 Qin troops did not go to Tsushima Island, and arrived in Tianjin Wei with Wu Weizhong.

There is a naval division cruising in the part of the Tianjin Wei Neihai near the military port, which belongs to the military forbidden area, and the defense is extremely tight, and generally no one is allowed to approach, and anyone who tries to approach will be attacked indiscriminately by the naval division, and he deserves to be killed, and he is not responsible.

Before this meeting, Xiao Ruxun held a court meeting on a certain day.

He brought together the secretaries of the major ministries and the main cabinet officials for a high-level meeting of the core decision-making power of the central government of Daqin, at which he officially declared the necessity of war against Japan.

"Although the Wa State is a small country on a par with my Great Qin, we have to face them squarely, they have a population of more than 10 million, note, it is 10 million, Yang Yinglong only occupies one Banzhou, with 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people, so we need to use 160,000 troops to pacify.

Obviously, the Wa State is stronger than Yang Yinglong, the Battle of Korea, I personally led the troops to fight with the Wa State, the combat effectiveness of the Wa Kou gave me a lot of emotion, from the beginning of the Wa Rebellion in the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State has repeatedly brought us trouble, and the Korean War of that year was just a concentrated outbreak.

However, the fighting power of the Japanese was very strong, and the Japanese also had firearms, birds, artillery, swords, swords, halberds, and even cavalry.

Although the seven-seven-eighty-eight were wiped out by me, after seven years of recuperation, the strength of the Wa Kingdom has recovered a lot, after all, the population is there.

According to the informant, the Tokugawa clan in the west could mobilize at least 100,000 troops to fight in the war, while the Toyotomi clan in the east could mobilize about 150,000 to 200,000 people to fight in the war.

For our army, this battle is a war to exterminate the Japanese, a war to get rid of all the threats of the Japanese state in one go, and the Japanese country will inevitably go all out, and in this case, 300,400,500,000 or even 600,000 are possible.

And our army only sent 100,000 troops, 60,000 infantry troops, 20,000 cavalry troops, 10,000 marines, and 10,000 navy.

100,000 versus 560,000 seems like a desperate number, but I also hope you don't forget that ours is the elite, the Japanese country, and the rabble.

The reason why the army is called the army is that it needs to be organized and trained by military regulations and military law.

I can put my words here, not to mention that the Japanese Kou mobilized 600,000 troops to participate in the war, even if he mobilized 1 million troops to participate in the war, he would not want to shake the 100,000 elites of my Great Qin! That's simply not possible! ”

Xiao Ruxun slapped the map on the table with a hard slap, looking around at the generals with excited faces and red eyes, as well as the civilian officers of the staff who were confident.

Of course, this is true, there are a million people, but as an agrarian country, if you mobilize a million troops, the army must eat and drink, right? What to eat? What to drink? Can you feed an army of a million for war attrition?

With the current level of national strength of Great Qin, it is very difficult to supply 160,000 troops in the war, let alone small Japan.

War attrition and daily attrition are two completely different concepts.

War attrition involves the problem of transportation and consumption and the extreme wall of the empire, but the daily consumption does not have this problem, the empire can have a large standing army, but very little mobilization for combat.

"Your Majesty is right, gentlemen, although the Japanese have troops, manpower, materials, equipment, firearms, and generals, the training and elite level of the Japanese army is far inferior to that of our Great Qin army, this is for sure.

Before Wu Weizhong's general army and Luo Shangzhi's deputy general army led the army to attack, the 5,000 army collapsed the opponent's more than 20,000 troops, which shows that their army is far from being comparable to our Great Qin elite in terms of training, not to mention the rabble they mobilized in a short period of time.

As His Majesty said, the army is either a spear to organize a group of peasants is the army, that is the peasant self-defense force, not the army, although we will face a lot of Japanese in this battle, beyond imagination, but as long as the battle is engaged, the essence of the Japanese outside the strong and the middle cadres will be clear! ”

Liu Huangshang, the secretary of the General Staff Department, gave a full account of Japan's foreign power and central cadres at the court meeting, and received the support of many ministers, so the Great Qin court's crusade against Japan was determined and began to be arranged.

When the army began to assemble at the port of Wei, Tianjin, Xiao Ruxun summoned the generals participating in the battle and the staff officers of the general staff to make a final agreement on strategy and tactics.

After the release of the Qin army reorganization plan, the army reorganization has already begun, and most of the troops involved in this battle are the army under the jurisdiction of the original Suzaku Battalion and the border army of the former Ming Army in the northwest, the combat commander is Ma Wei, and the deputy commanders are Chai Guozhu, Li Rusong and Wu Weizhong.

The generals of the original Ming army performed very well in many political storms, and Xiao Ruxun was embarrassed to let them live trembling all the time, they were all talented people, especially Li Rusong, so in this battle, Xiao Ruxun decided to give them a chance.

Then Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong soon joined forces to write a letter to express their gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor, saying that they would fight for the Great Qin Dynasty and forget to die.

Li Chengliang also personally wrote a recital to express his gratitude to Xiao Ruxun.

In the big war after the founding of the country, the White Tiger Battalion has been in battle, the Xuanwu Battalion has also been done, the Qinglong Battalion has also been done, the two cavalry battalions and the Sailor Battalion have also participated in the battle, and the Suzaku Battalion has not appeared.

Ma Wei attaches great importance to this hard-won opportunity, and has participated in the whole process from the beginning of the war planning, which has played a great role in the determination of the army's mobilization arrangements and strategies and tactics.

Standing on the edge of a hung map of the whole of Japan, he began his explanation with a small wooden stick pointing to Hizen Province, the westernmost seaside province of Japan.
