"According to the intelligence, the headquarters of the Wako Tokugawa clan have already carried out operations to clear the walls in coastal areas such as Hizen and Higo, moving the people inward, destroying roads, and polluting water sources, as if to prevent us from landing and fighting from this area.

From this, we can conclude that although the Japanese have not shown it explicitly, they do not trust us and have prepared for a possible war, and our strategy is still the same and will not change.

No matter what they want to hinder us, our strategy will not change, and the established landing sites are the Godo Islands, Tsushima Island, and Oki Island in Matsuura County, Hizen, where we will set up forward bases to reorganize personnel and replenish supplies.

The army will depart from the port of Tianjin, escorted by the navy, and launch a direct attack on the five islands of Matsuura County, taking this archipelago as a base for advancement, and using it as a springboard for attacking Hizen, and the other two groups will go to Tsushima Island and Oki Island respectively to rest, and then use these two islands as a base to launch an attack. ”

Ma Wei briefly talked about the preliminary preparations for this battle.

Chai Guozhu had some doubts about Ma Wei's explanation, and he directly raised his doubts.

"Isn't it okay for us to attack directly? Why spend time and effort on these three islands? ”

Liu Huangshang explained.

"General Chai's doubts, let me explain, it's like this, this battle, we are the so-called war of destroying the country, since it is the destruction of the country, it is different from simply conquering a certain place and defeating a certain army, you need to prepare for a war for three months, four months or even five months.

This requires us to have a logistics base that is not vulnerable to threats to provide material support to the army, and in addition to the Japanese Shoguna County, Tsushima Island and Oki Island are already occupied by us, and there is some infrastructure on them, and there are ports that can be used.

Tsushima is the transit point of Wu Weizhong's supply attack in the pre-Ming Dynasty, after the establishment of our dynasty strengthened management, there are garrisons on the island, and the same is true for Yinqi Island, there are also infrastructure on the island, and there are also ports and garrisons of our dynasty.

What's more, His Majesty has been preparing to fight against the Japanese since a year ago, so he began to transport and settle military supplies on these two islands a year in advance, and now the military material reserves on these two islands are enough for 50,000 troops to use for half a year, which greatly reduces the transportation consumption of this war.

Even the five islands in Songpu County have been clearly understood by our business brigades and meticulous work, and it is clear how many people, military facilities, and material sites there are on the island, and after the landing of the army, they will attack directly, and a large number of military supplies can be transported directly from Korea to the five islands. ”

The main generals have admired Xiao Ruxun's foresight, it turns out that he has begun to silently reserve more than a year ago, no wonder, so it seems that if this battle is over, it will not be wronged at all, Daqin has made such preparations, if he loses, it is really unreasonable.

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Ma Wei continued his strategic arrangement.

"In the early stage of this war, the focus is on the Japanese invaders' own civil war, and according to His Majesty's arrangement, I hope to promote a war between the two factions of the Japanese and the east, and when they are fighting in the dark, our surprise attack is enough to take them by surprise.

In this battle, the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army attacked from the direction of Goto and Yinqi Island, which were partial divisions, commanded by General Chai Guozhu and General Li Rusong respectively, and the main force of the Chinese Army was led by me personally, and General Wu Weizhong was my deputy general, and launched an attack from Tsushima Island.

General Shiba Koku-ju's Left Army was responsible for attacking the Wakoku Kyushu Island area, and then using the Kyushu area as a springboard to attack the Shikoku Island area of Wakoku, while General Li Rusong's Right Route Army was responsible for launching an attack from Oki Kijima, targeting Tajima, and then attacking Tanba and penetrating directly into Kyoto, the capital of Wakoku.

General Chai Guozhu's department is 30,000 infantry troops, and it is necessary to fight steadily and steadily, firmly grasp the Kyushu region, and if there is spare strength on this basis, then attack Shikoku, if there is no spare strength, just stick to Kyushu, and the task has been completed.

General Li Rusong's command of 20,000 cavalry troops was to attack quickly, wipe out the Japanese king and the head of the Toyotomi clan, destroy their head organs, and leave them leaderless.

If the first battle is the best, General Li will lead the army to make peace with us as soon as possible, if the first battle cannot be successful, he will pursue closely, as for the supply, if the supply is not timely, General Li Rusong's troops will be allowed to fight to support the war.

The remaining 30,000 infantry troops and 10,000 marines were all under my own command, and if I expected it to be correct, Iwami would inevitably become an area where the main forces of the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa clan converged. ”

After speaking, Ma Wei handed the baton to Xiao Ruxun: "Please correct Your Majesty!" ”

Xiao Ruxun smiled, waved his hand and didn't ask for the baton: "It's not about correcting anything, you are all very good generals, I trust you, but there are some words, I have to say, first of all, don't underestimate the enemy, when I fought with the Japanese for the first time, although I won a big victory, but I can also feel the good fighting of the Japanese Kou."

The Wako were good at using long knives, using what they called iron cannons, and they didn't have as many guns as we did, but there were some, and they had larger guns in their army than they could carry guns, and their firepower was not weak.

Especially after being stunned by my artillery back then, I have worked artillery over the years, and the Japanese have a lack of resources, and a large number of materials need to be purchased from outside, but even so, according to intelligence, the Tokugawa side has at least 100 artillery pieces of various types, and the Toyotomi side has at least 80 artillery pieces of various types.

These artillery pieces were purchased from the Franco-Japanese and Siamese in those years, most of them were Franco-Japanese guns, as well as their own self-made artillery, and even the Tokugawa side also had a Hongyi cannon, it can be said that they also made great progress in firepower, but compared with our army, it was far from it. ”

Xiao Ruxun sat down.

"I say that these are to ask you to face up to the enemies you encounter, lions fight rabbits, and do your best, not to mention that we are going to destroy a country with a population of 10 million, it is not easy at all, your 100,000 troops are elite, they are a broken army.

After you, we still need a large number of auxiliaries and people, and even Koreans, I want them to contribute together, and we need to occupy them, and you all know that after this war, most of the population of the Wa Kingdom will be used to build infrastructure for Daqin.

But 10 million people, Daqin doesn't need so much, the rest of the people, and the land, there will be a part of the fief for you to make a fief, I promised you, Daqin can't give you land, but outside of Daqin, I can give you a lot of land, but you have to try everything, the Wa Kingdom, is to try. ”

When Xiao Ruxun said this, the expressions of the generals became a little unnatural.

Even the expressions of some of the Wenchen were not very natural.

Land is their greatest thirst, but under Xiao Ruxun's pressure, they don't dare to have the slightest idea about land, they can only watch Xiao Ruxun distribute land to poor peasants, but they can't get thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres of land rewards like the heroes of the previous dynasties, and they can buy more land.

The land plot is one of the lingering plots of the Chinese.

They actually had a strong desire as well, but it was only now that Xiao Ruxun officially relented and allowed them to occupy the newly occupied land.

In fact, many people are also more entangled, although it is said that they can get land, but foreign land, wild land, can be compared with domestic land?

And how should it be developed and managed?

Xiao Ruxun didn't say anything, but they believed that Xiao Ruxun would definitely not let them suffer.

They are tired and tired to fight the world for the emperor, and if the emperor doesn't give his own land, he will always give some benefits to foreign land, right?

Maybe you won't have to pay taxes!

They naturally couldn't imagine that this was not only a method used by Xiao Ruxun to reward the heroes to make up for the heroes, but also a way to insure the marine forces they had cultivated, and after their death, there would be no closed sea after Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.

The territories of the heroes are overseas, and the interests of many people are overseas, and they are driven by interests, and they will definitely protect the interests brought by the opening of the sea.

Objectively, it will light up Daqin's maritime skills, so that Daqin's career can be broadened, and it will evolve from a land hegemon to a land and sea hegemon, so as to prevent the population traps that may be encountered in the future in advance.

How can the ocean, the ocean with infinite possibilities, not be used by China?
