As soon as Jiajing's words came out, Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces were ugly, because Yan Song was the current head of the cabinet, and looking at Jiajing's meaning, it seemed that he wanted to make way for him...... And Xu Jie, his goal is to become the first assistant of the cabinet, looking at Jiajing's meaning, it seems that the next candidate has been designated by him as Wang Zhi.

The envoy sent by Wang Zhi said, "Your Majesty, the Lord has already guessed that you will make this promise, and he specially instructed me to say that the artifact will move very slowly, and it can only travel fifteen nautical miles a day, and if you want to transport it back to China, I am afraid it will take more than two years!"

"It's okay, I can afford to wait for two years!"

"As long as he says yes!" Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind, immediately send troops to attack Japan, and within half a year, destroy its country!"

Previously, the vast majority of courtiers were opposed to sending troops, but this time, almost all of them agreed.

The reason is very simple, in the previous battle of Shimonoseki, more than 70% of the Japanese princes' army was drowned in the flood, and the rest of the people were frightened and did not dare to resist at all...... Such a good opportunity, if you can't grasp it, then it's really stupid.

Moreover, since there is an artifact that can trigger a tsunami to attack the land, it is almost a sure thing to fight against Japan, a country with extremely shallow land depth, and there is no reason not to continue fighting.

What needs to be discussed now is who will command the war, how many troops will be sent, how much food will be consumed to start the war, and how to prepare for it......

Expanding the territory is a good thing that can leave a name in history, not to mention such a war that is undoubtedly won, the major generals are naturally rushing to ask for their lives.

After half a month of commotion, one giant ship after another marched along the coastline and killed the main island of Japan.

After the Ming army landed, it annexed Shikoku and directly killed the main island of Japan...... The Japanese princes' troops were almost killed and wounded in the last war, how could they resist the Ming Dynasty, which had an absolute superiority in troops? However, in just over a month, most of the island has fallen.

Because they were afraid of the amazing destructive power of the hidden dragon, the Japanese princes no longer dared to gather troops to fight, and they broke into pieces, and fought a guerrilla war with the Ming army in the occupied area with the scale of dozens or hundreds of people.

In the face of the enemy's harassment tactics, the Ming army was also helpless, and lost thousands of men and horses in two months...... In desperation, they could only slow down the speed of their advancement, choose to fight steadily, encroach step by step, and then continue to attack the next piece of territory after completely controlling it.

And Xiao Qiuyu suggested to Tan Lun, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, that whenever he captured Japanese villages and towns, he would directly use food and money to recruit Japanese civilians to form death squads and use them for offensive purposes.

This plan was modeled after Genghis Khan, and although the nomads were good at riding and shooting, the number of people that the steppe could support was really limited, so they could not pull a large enough army.

In order to maintain his plan of aggression and conquest, Genghis Khan chose the plan of feeding the war with war, constantly forcing the civilians in the occupied areas to become slaves and sending them to death as cannon fodder, so as to deplete the enemy's strength.

In order to resist the invasion of the Ming army, the local daimyo and samurai forcibly recruited a large number of civilians to direct them to fight guerrilla warfare...... Xiao Qiuyu, on the other hand, repaid his own way of treating others, and also forcibly conscripted local civilians to resist the enemy's guerrillas, so as to reduce his own casualties, and they fought back and forth, and the dead were all Japanese.

At the time of the initial war of aggression against China, after Japan opened up the Pacific Theater and the Nanyang Theater, a large number of troops withdrew from China's borders, and the Japanese troops remaining in the Central Plains were only a few hundred thousand......

But they raised millions of "Imperial Cooperative Army" in the local area and used the puppet army to attack China, and the result was that the Chinese fought desperately against each other on the battlefield, and the devils sat back and enjoyed their success...... Now Xiao Qiuyu invaded Japan and deliberately used the same tactics to make the Japanese kill each other. In this way, it can be regarded as a report and a report.

Owari domestic

Oda Nobunaga looked at the map and frowned, the Ming army had already broken through Omi, which was meaningless for Owari Province with a long knife hanging from his neck. If the opponent attacks, it will take up to three days for the entire territory of Owari to fall.

In response to such a critical situation, Oda Nobunaga asked the rest of the daimyo to send reinforcements more than once, but to no avail...... After the fiasco at Shimonoseki, the lords of Dongying no longer dared to gather an army of more than 1,000 people, for fear of being attacked by a terrible flood again.

If there is only a target of a few hundred people, using the hidden dragon is tantamount to hitting ants with howitzers, which is purely wasteful, and every time a major flood is launched, it will bring huge environmental damage, which will not only lead to the destruction of people in a radius of 100 miles, but also the destruction of acres of land due to floods, and it will also fall into serious famine in the next few years, which is not conducive to long-term rule.

Moreover, the hidden dragon also had a great impact, large areas of the field were muddy due to the raging floods, and it became extremely difficult for the army to advance, and the horse-drawn carriages could not be transported on the muddy roads at all, which was a huge pressure ...... for the transportation of military supplies to the front line.

So since the Battle of Xiaguan, Xiao Qiuyu has not used the hidden dragon to attack even once.

It's just that in this way, the Japanese princes can no longer organize organized resistance, and after their army is reduced to zero, relying on guerrilla warfare of dozens or hundreds of people alone can indeed harass the Ming army exhausted, but they cannot stop the advance of the Ming army on the frontal battlefield...... No matter which city the Ming army wants to take, it can easily take it down!

Now that the Ming army has temporarily stopped advancing, it is nothing more than being harassed and exhausted by the war of law and order, and turning its head to encircle and suppress the resistance forces in the occupied area...... But this situation will not last long, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty does not know how many times more than Japan, as long as they persistently fight, little by little to eliminate the Japanese army that has been reduced to zero, step by step encroaching on the land, step by step to advance step by step, and eventually the whole of Japan will inevitably be swallowed into the belly.

When the difference in strength is extremely large, no matter what kind of strategy is meaningless; After the First Battle of Shimonoseki, the elite troops of the Japanese masters were almost completely annihilated, and the remaining troops did not dare to join forces at all, and they could not resist the advance of the Ming army at all, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated in the future.

Oda Nobunaga was hesitating, and suddenly felt a sharp murderous aura, he shouted, immediately pulled out the katana Muramasa on his waist, and slashed to the northwest with a backhand.
