Chapter 224: Planning to Destroy the Country

Gather in the Xuanzhong.

Li Jin casually used wine on the wine table and simply drew a map of Wajima.

I saw the general outlines of the four islands slowly emerging on the wine table, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were amazed to see it.

It seems that Li Jin has indeed made a lot of efforts to exterminate the Japanese islands, otherwise he would not even remember the map of the Japanese island so clearly.

Li Jin cared about the eyes of several people, and after drawing a map of Wajima, Li Jin began to draw a map about North Korea again.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang can no longer be as calm as he was at the beginning.

Li Jin can draw a map of the surrounding areas of Wadao at will, and based on this, it can be seen that Li Jin does have scale armor on his belly.

After all, even Zhu Yuanzhang may not know what the map of North Korea is like.

"Look, this is the map around Wajima."

After Li Jin finished drawing the map, he began to draw against the map.

"When Kublai Khan exterminated the Japanese, he took the Korean route."

"When attacking Wajima from North Korea, there is only one Wahai Sea in between, so the distance is very convenient."

"But now North Korea is just a subject country of our Ming Dynasty, and we have no right to call on North Korea's resources, so we can only take another path."

"That is from the map of Gangnam, directly to the island of Wajima."

"That is, starting from Shanghu County and arriving at the port area of Wadao."

"Everyone, please see, the closest port area to the south of my Daming Jiangnan is the Satsuma Domain."

"If we go to Wajima, the first port we want to occupy must be Satsuma."

"If you take Satsuma, then my Ming army can continue to enter Wajima, and supplies can also be stationed in Satsuma."

Zhu Biao next to him was a little confused and asked:

"But Lord Li, aren't we going to Wadao to counterinsurgency?"

"If you brazenly occupy the Satsuma Kingdom of Wajima, will it arouse their vigilance and attack our Ming Dynasty?"

Li Jin shook his head and said:

"Counterinsurgency is naturally counterinsurgency, but in any case, the Satsuma Domain must be in the hands of our Ming Dynasty."

"Only in this way can we occupy the initiative on the battlefield, and when the time comes, whether we really want to quell the rebellion on Wajima, or continue to occupy the land of Wajima, it is our Ming Dynasty."

"The most important thing is that the north and the south of Wajima are now in opposition, and the daimyo of Wajima are all fighting against each other."

"There is scattered sand on the island, and it is impossible for me to attack the Ming group."

"As long as our Ming shows strong strength, then no matter which side of the North and South Dynasties is, it will only win over our Ming Dynasty."

"Otherwise, these daimyo of Wajima will fail."

"After we gain a firm foothold in the Satsuma Domain, we will begin to move north, and use the reason of the king's rebellion to quietly take down the Iwami Silver Mountain in Wajima."

"By that time, we had achieved the first phase of our goal."

"You just need to guard these two places, sit quietly on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until the north and south sides of the island are completely declining, and it will be the time for us to swallow the island."

Li Jin's words are reasonable and convincing.

Zhu Biao next to him nodded approvingly, but Xu Da frowned, had a different opinion, and said:

"I've always felt that your idea was too simplistic, and if we occupy Satsuma, it will cause alarm in Wajima."

"Then our next plan to occupy Iwami may be affected."

"Our main goal of encroaching on Wajima is Iwami Ginzan, and if we don't occupy Iwami Ginzan in the end, it will be unacceptable to us."

"In my opinion, it is better for us to directly lead the army to take Iwami first, with Iwami Silver Mountain as the center, and radiate the surroundings."

"As for logistical supplies, I think it's entirely possible for North Korea to help."

"No matter what, North Korea is a subject country of our Ming Dynasty, and the king of North Korea will definitely come to the aid of our army."

Xu Da's suggestion attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, and he thought that what Xu Da said was very reasonable.

After all, the Ming Dynasty entered Wajima under the banner of counterinsurgency, and if he unscrupulously occupied the land of Wajima, he was afraid that it would cause a backlash from Wajima.

Therefore, occupying Satsuma first and then snatching Iwami will cause a backlash from Wajima.

Xu Da's plan to directly seize Iwami satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang's appetite very much.

After all, what Zhu Yuanzhang wants is silver, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang is not interested in the poor countryside of Wadao.

Since Iwami has the largest silver mountain, it should naturally be the first target.

Only by taking Iwami Silver Mountain can the Ming Dynasty raise the war with war, and only then can it be motivated to continue to occupy Wajima.

Li Jin thought for a while, and then continued to speak:

"Since Xu Dashuai said so, let's change our strategy."

"On the border between Wajima and North Korea, there is a small island called Tsushima Island."

"We can use this place as our logistics supply base, and then directly attack Iwami, and after occupying Iwami, we claim that we are here to quell the rebellion."

"Then stand your ground and start the next step of expansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Jin:

"Just follow this plan, after tonight, you will return to Shanghu County first."

"Pay attention to the situation on Wajima at any time, and as for that letter, we will let people enter Wajima and spread it secretly."

"When the time is ripe, you will directly send troops to Tsushima Island, and then invade Iwami Ginzan on Wajima."

"What the emperor needs is silver, and as for the land of Wajima, the emperor doesn't care."

"If you send troops to Wajima for the first time and don't get a huge profit, it is likely to affect the next troops, do you understand?"

Li Jin was speechless in his heart, didn't he just not scatter the eagle if he didn't see the rabbit?

"Of course I understand, what does the emperor think, can I still not understand?"

"But in the future, the emperor will understand how important it will be to occupy the land of Wajima."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand indifferently, no matter how important it is, can he still help him solve the Mongols in the north?

"Okay, let's talk about this matter when you take Wajima."

"I wish our Daming a prosperous future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his wine glass, and then Li Jin and Xu Da Zhu Biao all raised their wine glasses.

Everyone clinked glasses, and then drank them all, and the dinner table began to stagger and stagger.

Li Jin finally returned drunk again, and was finally dragged back to the mansion of Wei by Xu Da.

...

In the early morning, the sound of birds came out of the window.

The sparse sunlight shines through the gaps and shines on the table in the room, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

"Oops!"

Li Jin slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a splitting headache.

The most painful hangover is always the next day, because the previous day has been drunk, but the residue of alcohol will make the brain pain unbearable the next morning.

The maid in the house heard the shout, hurriedly walked in, and when she saw Li Jin wake up, she shouted outside:

"Your guest is awake, your guest is awake."

Li Jin was stunned, I don't know who this maid is? And who is the guest of his mouth?

But when he regained his consciousness a little, he found that this was not Honglu Temple, and he didn't know where it was.

Soon, someone came to serve Li Jin with a basin of water and a towel, and began to wait for Li Jin to wash and get up and change clothes.

has been in this era for so long, and it is the first time that Li Jin has enjoyed being served by a maid so much.

In the past, although he was also rich in Shanghu County, he was used to doing this alone, and he didn't have to serve at all.

But now in an unfamiliar environment, Li Jin did not refuse, after all, the guest is as he pleases.

Li Jin quickly cleaned up, and then couldn't help but ask:

"Dare to ask, where is this?"

"The Duke of Wei's Mansion."

At this time, a woman wearing a pale green dress suddenly walked in from outside the door, with a little powder, but she looked fresh and refined, especially a pair of smart big eyes, which made Li Jin couldn't help but stagnate slightly.

Rao is Li Jin has also seen a lot of beauties in Shanghu County, but the beauty of this woman still makes Li Jin a little excited.

"Yesterday, the son was drunk, and the father had no choice but to take the son home, and I hope the son is not strange."

Father?!

This woman turned out to be Xu Miaojin!
