He knew so little about Japan that it was difficult for him to make an accurate judgment quickly, and he could only consider it based on what he knew. Fortunately, he has been leading the army as a senior general in recent years, so his years of war career have also cultivated some strategic thinking, which allows him to start thinking about the military issue of conquest of Japan from the perspective of the overall situation.

"For example, today is just a preliminary decision, although the Jurchen and Mongolia were beaten and fled, but they have not completely fallen after all, although Sichuan and Guangxi have been taken, Yunnan still has the remnants of Zhu Ming led by King Gui and the Mu family are in turmoil, in addition, Japan is isolated overseas, and the food and straw for the sergeants are also costly, so in the humble opinion of the ministers, it is best not to use the strength of the whole country to conquer the ......" After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Song began to speak in a low voice, and at the same time cautiously peeked at the emperor, for fear that he would make the emperor angry," It is best to select elite soldiers, and then rely on the navy to advance by water, and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army as soon as possible, crush its army, and then end the war. I don't know, though...... I don't know if the emperor wants to destroy the country, or just wants to attack his country? ”

The difference is very big, if you just want to attack its country and show the power of the Han Dynasty, then you only need to select the army of land and sea to defeat the forces that dare to resist.

According to Zhao Song's experience, if you want to destroy the country, you have to raise a large army to destroy every force in Japan that has the ability to resist, and then you have to let the army stay there, and after years of occupation, you can slowly digest the occupied territory, which requires incalculable troops, financial resources, and material resources.

Therefore, he guessed in his heart that the emperor just wanted to attack his country, for some reason that he didn't know yet. If it is the latter, then this expedition should not be his turn to lead the army.

"It's true that I've been practicing for so many years, and I've really learned a lot! I'm much more relieved. Seeing Zhao Song speak so methodically, the emperor was very happy, and gently knocked Zhao Song's shoulder with a small wooden stick in his hand to show encouragement, "That's right, the expedition of the army across the sea is too expensive, and this time I only plan to send a small army over, about three regiments." I'm not going to ask you to destroy their country, as long as you help me subdue their ruling shogunate and get them to agree to the terms we have put on him. ”

It's really just a small army......

Three regiments? Isn't that still a brigade? I'm Luzheng now...... Although he had long known in his heart that the emperor would not match himself with a large army, when he heard that the troops allocated to him were only three regiments, Zhao Song quickly felt a little disappointed.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. It is very simple to assign a brigade on land to command, but it is not simple to plan an expedition across the sea, not to mention that this time the emperor also intends to list himself as the chief general of the expedition.

"The above goal is for you by me, and I won't set a limit on what to do with you, you still don't know much about Japan now, and I want to tell you that you can't say anything good." The emperor looked at Zhao Song calmly, "You stay here for a while, plan and plan with your staff members well, give me a few plans as soon as possible, remember, time is very tight, and now I have ordered all parts of the country to prepare supplies, and an attack will be launched next summer." ”

"Next summer?" Zhao Song was shocked again.

He didn't expect the emperor's plan to be so urgent.

"Since the plan has been decided, then naturally we have to hurry, are we still waiting to drag it on?" The emperor said calmly, "Okay, everything that should be told to you has already been told to you, you can collect more information about Japan for a while, and make a plan for me as soon as possible." Ahead of the curve, if your plan is perfunctory, then I'll give you a few beatings! ”

"Don't dare!" Because the emperor said it so kindly, Zhao Song couldn't help laughing. However, he also understood that there was a real threat hidden in the emperor's jokes, so he knew that he had to work hard to complete this errand, "The ministers will definitely do their best and never let the emperor down!" ”

He was removed from the . When Shenyang was transferred back, he had been with him for many years and had a very good cooperation with the lieutenant of the military academy was also transferred back, at that time he had not yet understood the above intentions, and now he understood that this was a special move arranged by the emperor in order to facilitate him to better plan this expedition.

The emperor is so far-sighted and has entrusted such an important task to himself, as a courtier, how can he not serve his life with all his heart? Zhao Song's heart suddenly surged with a sense of urgency, he knew that if he was going to go on an expedition in the summer, there would not be too much time left for them to make plans, and he had to hurry up with these few soldiers to make a feasible plan, so as to satisfy the emperor.

However, even so, he still has some questions in his mind that need to be clarified.

"Your Majesty, there are three regiments on this expedition, organized into a brigade, and the minister is the brigade, then among the three regiments, it is best to select one regiment from the brigade led by the minister himself, so that the command can be like an arm......command."

With such a big operation, he didn't expect his brigade to be able to eat all the food alone and take over the entire task, there are so many factions in the army, not to mention him, the emperor will definitely let other factions also send people to serve as regiment commanders, so that it can be balanced.

Therefore, he only thought that it was enough to use one of his own regiments -- in these years, he led the troops to fight, and without a unit that he had grasped from beginning to end, it was really not easy to fight.

"Yes, you are the brigade leader and regimental leader this time, I can transfer a regiment from the previous brigade in Liaodong to you." The emperor was very considerate of Zhao Song's feelings, so he immediately agreed, "The other two regiments, of course I won't give you some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they will all be carefully selected soldiers." Tuanzheng is also set, that is, Ma Tongji and Li Huanghe, although these two people are young, they are all shrewd and capable, they are both talented, and they will never hinder your affairs if they are transferred to you. ”

"I understand." Zhao Song bowed again.

Ma Tongji and Li Huanghe both know that Ma Tongji is the eldest son of Julu Hou Ma Chonghao, and Li Huanghe is the son of Yingchuan Hou Li Dajin, both of them can now be said to be rising stars in the Han army. Not only are they from superior family backgrounds, they are the generals and nobles, they are also known for their talents and achievements, and they have also made a lot of names in the army, and the emperor has deployed these two people to his command, as long as they can obey their commands, then the chances of victory in this expedition will definitely increase by a few points.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Zhao Song thanked him again, and then continued, "Your Majesty, the minister has one last question. ”

"You have a lot of questions, huh?" The emperor was still smiling, "Say it." ”

"When sending troops abroad, the supply of the rear is the top priority, especially this kind of sea-crossing expedition, and the supply of food and ammunition is even more scarce for a while, so ...... This time, there must be no room for loss in the rear......" Zhao Song said a little hesitantly, but the emperor could understand what he meant.

He is right, the expedition is outside, the supply of the rear is the most important issue, and there is absolutely no room for delay and chaos, so the emperor has also considered this issue before, and has corresponding plans.

"Don't worry, for this expedition, I already have a candidate for the coordination of the rear." The emperor's voice was still so flat, "What do you think of letting the crown prince be in charge?" ”

Although his voice was not high, this question once again made Zhao Song stunned for a while.

This expedition, the rear is coordinated by the crown prince?

The crown prince is the prince of the country, and the emperor actually asked him to personally take charge of the rear supply of this expedition?

"What, aren't you at ease?" The emperor looked at Zhao Song, who was bowing his waist, and there was no meaning in his expression, "I know that the prince is still young, but don't worry, I will have other arrangements and will not embarrass you." ”

The crown prince is the eldest son born to the queen when he was in Longxing, Xuzhou, born in the first year of the Apocalypse, this year is only thirteen years old, even if the expedition starts next summer, he is only fourteen years old, let such a big one be in charge of the rear, it sounds unlikely, but the emperor's plan has always been far-reaching and meticulous, he will definitely equip the prince with a think tank to assist him in the work of the rear, Zhao Song is not worried about no one to do things.

Yes, this decision is only good for Zhao Song, not bad.

Moreover, the prince is famous for his early wisdom, and his personality is also calm and resolute, and he has the demeanor of an emperor, and he will never be frivolous Meng Lang to cause chaos for Zhao Song in the rear. The most important thing is that the crown prince is the future emperor, who dares to perfunctory responsibility in the things he is personally responsible for?

Some people dare to delay his Zhao Song's affairs, and some people dare to make him Zhao Song unhappy, but who dares to make the future emperor unhappy?

In any case, no one will dare to slack off. So this time he doesn't have to worry about the rear.

At the same time, Zhao Song also understood that since the emperor had arranged it this way, he would never allow himself to fail. He felt the emperor's determination to win and never lose.

The burden of a thousand pounds was on his shoulders, and at the same time, it also represented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him.

Since the emperor gave himself the elite soldiers and strong generals, and let the prince personally sit in the rear, what reason did he have to fail?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Song slowly knelt down again, and then touched his head on the carpet.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, within the next year, Zhao Song vows to let Japan bow down and tie its neck, and let the emperor do it!"

"Good." The emperor just smiled calmly, then waved his hand and motioned for him to go down first.
