Although Lin Chong wanted to fight the Japanese state for a long time, Lin Chong also knew very well that the difficulty of defeating the Japanese state was at least five or six times higher than that of the Andong Peninsula, or even ten times higher.

There are ready-made examples.

In the original history, the Mongols launched wars of conquest against Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom.

In the end, Goryeo was completely conquered by the Mongols, and although it retained its throne, Goryeo became in fact almost a Mongol province.

The Mongols fought two wars against the Wa, but in the end they ended in humiliating defeats, totaling more than 100,000 troops, and tens of thousands of Mongol elites stayed on Wa Island forever or died in the sea.

Regarding the defeat of the Mongols, later generations summarized two main reasons.

First, it was naturally the two famous typhoons, and the two attacks on the Yuan army encountered typhoons, which led to heavy losses and a sharp drop in morale, and finally had to flee in embarrassment.

In particular, the second typhoon, which lasted for two days, was revered as a "kamikaze" by the Japanese people, and they were gratefully worshiped for more than 700 years.

Although the reason why the Yuan army fleet was destroyed by the typhoon, later research concluded that it may be that the Mongols ruled brutally and brutally oppressed the Han and Goryeo people under their rule, so these Han and Goryeo people who built ships deliberately used the wrong flat-bottomed ship type, not the type of ship that sailed in the ocean, and the Mongols knew nothing about navigation and were not discovered.

It may also be that Kublai Khan attacked the Japanese in too haste, did not fully prepare the sea ships, and the shipbuilders had to do things perfunctorily in a hurry.

Or both, in short, the boat is not very good, which is why it is so easily destroyed by wind and waves.

However, it is always a fact that the Mongol army encountered typhoons twice.

Although the warships of the Liangshan Army are all suitable for ocean voyages, many ships are not a problem even sailing all the way to Arabia.

However, this time, the Liangshan army was going to make a detour to raid Kyoto from an unfamiliar sea area and an unfamiliar shipping route, and the voyage and risk were many times greater than the landing of the Yuan army from Hakata Port.

If you encounter a super typhoon on the road, or a reef or something, won't the whole fleet be buried in the sea?

And the second reason for the failure of the Mongols in their conquest of the Japanese was that the Mongol army, which was almost invincible in Eurasia, went to the Japanese country to fight with the Japanese army on land, but in fact, it did not take advantage of the slightest!

Except for the first landing operation, when the Yuan army relied on its superiority in weapons and tactics to defeat the Japanese army and retreat, at other times, the Yuan army was tied with the Japanese army and even often had the upper hand.

Moreover, even if the Yuan army had the upper hand in the first landing operation, it could not expand the results of the battle, because the Mongols were not good at mountain and jungle warfare at all, and could not break through the rugged terrain of Kyushu Island and enter the hinterland of Kyushu.

Moreover, the Japanese army was tenacious, almost all the people were soldiers, extremely brave in battle, and not afraid of death, so even if the Yuan army had an advantage in both weapons and tactics, it immediately fell into the vast sea of the all-people war, and was forced to withdraw to the ship.

Then they had a tragedy, and that night there was a typhoon that blew over 200 warships at once.

By the time the Mongols attacked the Wa for the second time, although this time the Yuan army dispatched more than 100,000 people to attack the Wa Kingdom in two ways.

However, the Japanese people also learned the lessons of the last time, summed up their experience, and took advantage of the terrain of the mountains and jungles to constantly harass the Yuan army, resisting step by step, and defeated the Mongols.

Think about the US military in later generations, how advanced their weapons and tactics were, didn't they also sink into the Vietnamese jungle, and there was nothing they could do to take the Vietnamese?

The same was true of the Mongols, in fact, their second attack on the Japanese was very unsuccessful, and before the "kamikaze" occurred, the Japanese army defeated the Yuan army in the Battle of Iki Island, forcing the Yuan army to abandon Iki Island and go south to Hirado Island to join the main force.

Later, after the second landing operation, the Yuan army was driven back to the ship by the Japanese army again, only to encounter the typhoon that lasted for two days, which is also known as the "kamikaze", and lost most of the ships again.

Fortunately, in fact, the main force of the Yuan army was not on the ship at that time, but was stationed on Hirado Island, Eagle Island and other islands, but in the end, most of these Yuan troops were killed by the Japanese army.

Naturally, there was a "kamikaze" to help, and the morale of the Yuan army plummeted, and the morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted, thinking that the gods were the reason for their help.

But on the other hand, the Yuan army is also a trapped beast, and its combat effectiveness is not low, but it is still almost completely annihilated, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army can be imagined.

Therefore, if the Liangshan army wanted to attack the Japanese state, it also had to face the terrain of the mountains and jungles of the Japanese country, as well as the tenacious will of the Japanese army.

“…… To sum up, the terrain of the Wa Kingdom is more mountainous and jungle than that of Goryeo, and the Wa people's will to fight is much stronger than that of the Goryeo people, and almost all the people are soldiers, so it is difficult to be attacked, and I am not ready to attack the heart. ”

Lin Chong finally concluded: "Therefore, even if it is a feint attack on Kyushu Island, it is necessary to severely damage or even completely annihilate the defenders on Kyushu Island, so that the Wa Kingdom will send the main force of Honshu Island to reinforce Kyushu Island, and our raid on Kyoto can be successful."

But this

Moreover, the route to Kyoto should be explored in advance, and the local hydrology and climate should also be understood in advance, otherwise if you venture to go, you will be risking the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the expeditionary force! ”

Everyone's expressions gradually became solemn, and they secretly said that this Wa Kingdom is really several times more difficult to fight than Goryeo, no wonder the Wa Kingdom is so fearless!

Wang Yin couldn't help but be a little discouraged, listening to the meaning of the Lin military master, it seemed that he didn't agree with his strategy of raiding Kyoto, but if he didn't use the raid, what better way could he do?

You must know that what the Lin military lord just said clearly is that it is ten times more difficult to conquer the Japanese than to conquer Goryeo, and the Japanese are several times more arrogant than the Goryeo, and they are unruly and will never give in easily.

To deal with such a country, if it is not necessary to force it to sign an alliance under the city without the method of surprise attack; Then the only way left is to invest a large number of troops, step by step, to advance north from Kyushu Island little by little.

But Lu Junshi also said that if the Jurchen and Zhao Song were the number one enemies of the Liangshan army, they could only use 20,000 or 30,000 people to attack the Wa State, and at most 40,000 partial divisions.

With such a few people, this battle can't be fought at all!

"The military master, the last general is shallow, and for the time being, he thinks of this method of feint to attack Kyushu Island, attract all the main forces of the Japanese army, and use the naval advantage to raid Kyoto and force him to confess and surrender!

Now it seems that the last general still knows too little about the Japanese state, and there are too many ill-conceived aspects of this strategy, thank you for the timely correction of the military master.

It's just that if the method of surprise attack doesn't work, I don't know what other way can take revenge and make the Japanese people kneel and surrender. I'm running out of skills, I don't know what you can do? ”

Lin Chong smiled slightly: "Brother Wang's method is still good, don't be too humble, let alone be arrogant, it's just that you don't know too little about the Japanese country." ”

Wang Yin blushed a little, although Lin Chong still praised him, but he knew too little about the Japanese State, so he was busy making military orders and rushing to fight the Japanese State, did he seem too rash and underestimate the enemy?

After being silent for a while, Chen Hoop, who had been frowning, said tentatively: "Since the Wa Kingdom is so difficult to conquer, it is difficult for us to defeat it to surrender and submit with only one partial division, so why do we still do this?" ”

Everyone was confused by him, and they heard Huan Zhang say: "What does Chen Junshi mean?" ”

Chen Hoop thought about it, became more and more firm in his thoughts, and said: "Why don't we take advantage of the navy and attack it from the sea from time to time, I see that the territory of the Japanese country is not small, and the coastline is so long, how can the Japanese people defend it?"

What I mean is that if the Japanese army had set up a heavy defense at Hakata Port on the island of Kyushu, we would not have landed here, but would have attacked the northwest direction of the Japanese island of Honshu, and after going ashore, we would have raided all the way, killing people when we saw them, robbing things when we saw them, and running away after the battle, and when the main force of the Japanese army arrived, we had already withdrawn with the booty and prisoners.

After that, the Wakuni built a fortress in the northwest direction of Honshu Island and deployed heavy troops to defend it, and we quietly ran to the south of Kyushu Island and landed. In this way, as long as it lasts for a few months, the Wa Kingdom will inevitably be unbearable, and then we will put forward conditions to it, let it compensate for its losses, and call it a tribute! ”

Lin Chong nodded, and in his opinion, Chen Hoop Bucket's method was much better than Wang Yin's method, but Lin Chong was also very dissatisfied.

This method of harassment and guerrilla warfare is, of course, excellent, but my dignified Chinese Celestial Empire used this tactic against the small state of the Japanese kingdom, but it is really a bit of a loss, too self-defeating, and too much to look up to them.

And Lin Chong also suddenly thought of one thing, that is, he only asked them if they should fight and how to fight.

The first answer has already been given, that is, it must be fought, it must be fought.

Now everyone is answering the second question: how to fight, but Lin Chong forgot to tell everyone how far to fight, because everyone unconsciously set the goal of fighting: let the Japanese state compensate for the losses, surrender on their knees, and pay tribute.

But Lin Chong didn't want to do this at all.

So Lin Chong immediately added: "Actually, what I mean is that if you don't fight, if you fight, you must completely destroy this country, occupy all the land of the Japanese country, kill all the Japanese men who dare to resist, and then capture all the men who surrender, not just pay tribute!" ”

After thinking about it, Lin Chong felt that he might not be able to express it very clearly, so he said: "Let's make it clearer, for example, our policy towards Goryeo is to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so that the Andong Peninsula will be included in my Chinese territory from now on."

Moreover, from the topographical point of view, the Andong Peninsula is really the gate of our China, if we let it go unchecked, if there are overseas powers coveting our Chinese territory in the future, they can occupy or control the peninsula, and use it as a springboard to attack our China.

Moreover, since the peninsula is my homeland of China, in addition to the remnants of Silla on the island, other remnants such as the remnants of the Jizi Joseon, the remnants of the Weiman Joseon, and the remnants of Goguryeo are all members of our China, even if most of them are now mixed with the remnants of Silla, they are still my close relatives of China.

As long as the heart is oriented to China and is willing to submit to us, we will give them the status of Chinese people, and then make them cold and clothed, hungry and hungry, and each family has its own fields and houses, and these rescued Goryeo civilians and slaves and sluts are naturally grateful.

In a few years, the peninsula will surely become the same fertile land in China as Jingdong Hebei! But I'm not going to do that with the Japanese people! ”

Everyone was a little surprised, because when they heard Lin Chong introduce the situation of the Wa Kingdom before, they felt as if the military master didn't like it very much, and even hated these Wa people very much.

Now that these words have been said again, it seems that the treatment of these Japanese people after the defeat is much worse than that of the Koreans.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Chong continue: "These Japanese people, I am not ready to let them join the big family of the Chinese nation!" In the future, they will be imprisoned on this island forever, and those who dare to leave the island will be killed! And the land of the Wa Kingdom, I am not going to include it in the territory of China, but to treat it as a colony! ”

Everyone was shocked again, and after looking at each other a few times, General Lu opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, what is a colony?" ”

Lin Chong thought for a while and said: "A colony is to send troops to occupy these places or a certain country, and then immigrate over to establish a settlement for immigrants.

Then you can regard these Chinese people who immigrated to the past, as well as the troops stationed there, and the officials sent by them as landlords and squires, or perhaps slave owners in the pre-Qin period; Then they saw the local people as tenants, farmers, or slaves.

In short, a colony is a country and region that is politically and economically tenaciously ruled by the suzerain, oppressed (exploited). To put it more simply, we don't treat them as our own at all, but only enslave and oppress them to earn profits for us! ”

Everyone finally understood, but they were more and more shocked.

Wang Yin, Chen Hoop and others are better, they are all from the bottom of the working people, and they don't care much about these things, and since the Wa State is the first to fight against the Liangshan army, it is the enemy, even if the enemy is all dead, they will not feel distressed.

But Wen Huanzhang, Lu Jiang, and Xiao Jiasui couldn't accept it slightly.

Because they are all Confucian intellectuals, although most Confucian intellectuals, such as the big landlords in the late Song Dynasty and the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, are not uncommon to enslave and oppress the bottom mud legs, and they never feel that there is anything wrong.

But at the same time, Confucianism is the most face-saving, no matter how ugly the underground food is, on the surface it must be righteous and awe-inspiring, self-proclaimed as a gentleman, and the most benevolent and righteous.

For example, benevolence loves others; For example, the gentleman is said to be righteous, and the villain is said to be profitable; Another example is that a gentleman is to a beast, seeing his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who is far away.

How can you say that you want to enslave and oppress others? Even if these people are aliens.

Especially Wen Huanzhang, Lu Jiang, and Xiao Jiasui are still rare true gentlemen in Confucianism in this era, and when they heard Lin Chong say this, they couldn't believe their ears.

Is this still the Lin Jun Lord (eldest brother) who said that he wanted to do the right thing for heaven and save the world, and he has been practicing benevolent government?

For example, in Jingdong Hebei Road, although Liang Shanjun killed some landlords and squires, it was also because these landlords and squires fished the common people and did too much evil.

Later, Liang Shanjun forced the landlords and squires to reduce their rents, built water conservancy projects in Jeju and Yunzhou, built bridges and paved roads, and taught the people to use biogas digesters and green storage cellars, all of which were great benevolent policies.

Even if he attacked Goryeo, he rescued countless slaves and sluts who were enslaved by the Goryeo aristocracy, as well as civilian tenants, not only practicing benevolent government, but also practicing the royal way, and the merit was immeasurable!

But now that I'm here in the Wa Kingdom, why did it suddenly change?

In the end, Lu Jiang and Lin Chong were closer, and their personalities were more upright, so Lu Jiang didn't think about it: "Brother, can't you be like the Andong Peninsula?" ”
