Hong Chengchou is the commander-in-chief of this attack on Japan, the current Ming Imperial Forest Army and the old army are completely different things, the commander-in-chief is not a person who can have the final say, Hong Chengchou is only in the middle of the overall planning, the bigger the official, the more limited the people who can actually be directly controlled in the hands.

Hong Chengchou's directly subordinate army only has the headquarters, and the guards around him are only one guard regiment, and the rest of the armies have their own commanders, He Kegang stayed in Shenyang, and Lu Xiangsheng was the deputy commander-in-chief of the war.

"The emperor doesn't need to give us 400,000 troops at all, only the old descendants of the first army are 50,000 people who are equipped with Chongzhen-style rifles, and the rest are reserve-level troops. Lu Xiangsheng said to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou smiled slightly and shook his head, "Don't you understand what the emperor means, do you see Xinjiang, Tibet, and Mongolia doing?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback, "What does Lord Hong mean that the emperor also wants to gather people in a small city like those places?" This is not the land of the Ming Dynasty? The Japanese must resist desperately, so what's the difference between that and killing all of them? Don't look at this small country with only a few million people, but there are many mountains and lakes, if you really want to gather everyone, let alone 400,000 troops, millions of troops are afraid that it is not enough, people hide in the mountains to fight, how to deal with it? ”

Hong Chengchou nodded, "It can't be done by killing all the people completely, although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of erasing this island country from the map is very clear, and the strategy I formulated is to blossom from Edo and advance in ten ways." From the north of Japan to the south, the island nation is combed through and all the cities are occupied. Destroy all the cultivated land and concentrate them all in Kitakyushu, and kill all the Japanese outside Kitakyushu. ”

Lu Xiangsheng gasped, such an order can only be carried out by Hong Chengchou, and he can't do it. In terms of combat bravery, few people in the Ming Dynasty can surpass Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao. Full of Gui, but if you talk about ruthlessness, Hong Chengchou is definitely the No. 1 trump card in the hands of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

From the succession of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to the tenth year of Chongzhen, the peasant army that died at the hands of Hong Chengchou was more than one million. Not to mention the conquest of alien races.

Tokugawa Iemitsu faces the sky-high flames. He pulled out a Japanese katana and was about to commit suicide by seppuku, but was held by several ministers of staff.

"You let go! The country is dying, how can I steal my life? Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't expect that even if he closed himself off from the country, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen still wouldn't let go of Japan.

A cannonball was falling in the middle of the shogunate, a house was falling, and the Ming artillery was now not only at the level of the end of World War I, but also terrifyingly powerful. The country in the era of cold weapons is compared with the 400,000 Royal Forest Army. It can only be harvested.

"General, retreat to Kyoto, call on the people of the whole country to oppose the invasion of the Ming Kingdom, we Japanese will never compromise." Tokugawa Iemitsu's general, Nobuyo Matsudaira, said loudly.

"No, the edge of the Ming Kingdom is too strong, we should follow their orders and retreat to Kitakyushu, only by surviving first can we keep Japan." Tokugawa Iemitsu's retainer Sakai Tadashimichi.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's mind was blank, and he didn't know why the Ming Dynasty would be so strong in a year, the last time Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen personally conquered, the Ming Dynasty's armed forces were not strong enough to be completely unable to fight back, this war, the Japanese army simply couldn't even stand the side of the Ming army.

One attitude was to surrender, the other was to retreat to Kyoto and continue to resist, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was almost driven crazy.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has always had a faint smile on his face, he doesn't want to think about how Japan is fighting now, on the one hand, he knows that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are at their level, and on the other hand, hot weapons and cold weapons are put together to fight, if you still have to think about the victory or defeat of the war, doesn't it seem that he has no energy?

The only thing that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen had to consider was whether he wanted the Japanese to kill no one left? He can do it, his current national strength, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen estimated that he can do it completely, at most a year, as long as he supports the 400,000 army to sabotage in Japan for a year, it is useless for you to hide in the mountains, after all, the island country is too small, how many people did Lao Jiang have at the beginning? More than 400,000 fought more than 100,000, and a certain army could not stay in Jiangxi, not to mention, the gap in equipment was not as big as the current Ming army and the Japanese.

Compared with Chongzhen-style rifles, those arquebuses of the Japanese are really burning sticks.

But Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen can't give this order, at least he himself can't give such an order, Hong Chengchou once directly sent a telegram to the emperor to ask for the holy decree, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen only replied with three words, 'look at it', as a monarch, he can't make a decision to erase a country on the map, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is not taking care of the thoughts of the Japanese, he has to consider the views of the people.

The Ming Dynasty, Huaxia, thousands of years of Confucianism, not to say that it will be completely overthrown, if an emperor issued a holy decree to completely destroy a country, what will the people of the Great Tomorrow think of him? For this destruction includes the elderly, children, and women.

This is a violation of the holy decree of human nature, so it is impossible for Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen to issue such a holy decree.

However, if Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen could not issue a holy decree, it would be tantamount to asking Hong Chengchou to do it according to the case of conquering other places, which is a hint.

Emperor Xingzi suddenly knelt down for Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, which surprised everyone.

"His Majesty the Ming Emperor, please spare Japan." Xingzi is seventeen years old. Pink face with a mature temperament, Japan's female emperor is a very tragic character, can never marry, and can never contact the outside world, if it were not for the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's artillery bombardment opened the door of Japan, she is just a symbolic excessive character, and when her younger brother is an adult, she will hand over the throne, and then die in the temple.

It was Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen who pushed this girl to the forefront.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw Xingzi like this, and regretted that he shouldn't let her attend this Spring Festival party, he originally saw Xingzi not talking, Wenwen quietly, and wanted her to make a decoration, so as to show off the strength of the Ming Dynasty to the hundred officials, once made the Ming coastal defense a mess, and even did not hesitate to ban the sea policy to prevent plundering Japan, and now it is just an object that the Ming Dynasty wants to fight, how to fight, and how to play.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen didn't expect Xingzi to suddenly be like this in front of his ministers and his queen concubines.

"You get up, what are you doing?" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen calmed his face, the reason why he did not personally levy was because Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen had already made a plan not to personally levy in the future, and after Li Zicheng was killed, he made up his mind like this. He is tired of killing people, and the current Daming Guozheng is, in his eyes, more like a strategy game, he doesn't feel guilty about the numbers in those notebooks and computers, and he doesn't want to face blood anymore.

Xingzi shook his head, "I don't get up, Xingzi knows that the emperor's army is fighting Japan at the moment, please let my countrymen go." ”
