Isn't it too anxious to attack the Wa Kingdom now? Zheng He frowned slightly, "Our army has just captured Korea, and Goryeo Province is in ruins, and the reform system is only a prototype, and it will lead to the whole body." The minister's suggestion was to set up a platform in Goryeo Province first, and with Goryeo Province as a springboard, it would be much easier for our army to attack the Wa Kingdom. ”

"It is better to attack the Japanese kingdom sooner rather than later."

Zhu Gaoxian tapped his fingers on the table and rejected Zheng He's proposal, "The country has just been destroyed, and the morale of our soldiers is flourishing at this time, and they have the intention of pursuing the victory." As for the Japanese side, knowing that after our army annihilates a country in April, it will inevitably shrink back. On the battlefield, morale determines the direction of victory or defeat, and if our army gains a firm foothold in Goryeo Province, morale has already been exhausted, so it is the best time to send troops to the Japanese country at this time. ”

Zheng He pondered for a moment and no longer refutated, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhu Gaoxian's idea.

On the battlefield, there is only one voice, and that is the manager.

When the manager makes a decision, the rest of the people are qualified to make suggestions, but they are not qualified to argue with the manager. Maybe the boss may have made the wrong decision, but as a soldier, even if you know that the decision is wrong, and you may even be sent to death, you still have to strictly carry out this wrong order.

This is a battlefield, not a Jixia Academy where a hundred schools of thought contend.

"In that case, the king of Ben will start deploying now."

Zhu Gaoxian pondered for a moment and said, "In the shortest possible time, the ships in Gaoli, Jianzhou, Liaodong, Shandong and other places will be requisitioned and transferred, and they will be distributed by the marshal's government, and they will be divided into horse ships, grain ships, and transport ships ...... quantitatively."

"Once the war starts, give priority to occupying Tsushima Island, condescendingly, looking for a flaw in the defense line of the Japanese state, and the remaining fleet will land from the flaw and launch an attack on the Japanese state."

"Once we land, we will not be able to deal with our large-scale land war with the strength of the Japanese state, so we will be able to stabilize our position and advance gradually."

"Don't always think about what kind of tentative attack to fight, for the current situation, a blow is the best offensive tactic, try your best to suppress the enemy's defense line, force them to fight with us, I say how to fight, you will fight."

"There is no doubt that I, Zhu Gaoxian, led the troops to fight, and I have never lost!"

The phrase "never lost" is Zhu Gaoxian's confidence in the dictatorship in the army, and it is also the reason why others believe in him.

I haven't lost before, and I won't lose in the future, believe me to win!

……

In Kyoto Prefecture on the island of Honshu in the Wakuni Kingdom, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori convened an emergency meeting.

Ashikaga Yoshinori was the fourth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, and his predecessor was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, because the Muromachi shogunate had great problems from the beginning, and these problems would get worse and worse over time. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu once relied on excellent political means to force down these problems, but as soon as he died, these problems were born again.

And after Ashikaga Yoshinoshi came to power, he continued to solve these problems, just like a firefighter when a fire broke out, the fire was extinguished here and there and burned again, and sooner or later everyone would be burned to ashes.

Ashikaga Yoshimori thought a lot, but he only didn't expect that this flame, which was going to burn everyone to ashes, was not "internal strife", but "external invasion".

"Gentlemen, the catastrophe is coming!"

Ashikaga Yoshichi said solemnly to the people kneeling in the room, "King Qi of the Ming Dynasty, the army led by him destroyed Korea in four months, and the entire Li Dynasty royal family died in Kaijing, and now Korea has become the Goryeo Province of the Ming Dynasty, we have every reason to suspect that the next thing King Qi wants to attack is us!" ”

Everyone listened to it with horror, and there were many discussions: "The Joseon Dynasty that destroyed Li Fangyuan's bastard in just four months? That sounds like! ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Joke, is King Qi the reincarnation of Amaterasu, Li Fangyuan, this bastard, although I also look down on him, but it is undeniable that North Korea is definitely a strong man in defensive warfare, with its excellent geographical advantages in defensive warfare, North Korea can fight with ease even if it faces dozens of times the defenders, dragging the enemy down in Baektu Mountain."

"I'm skeptical, and it's hard to believe that Yi Fangyuan and his Joseon dynasty will be destroyed in four months."

A group of people were chattering like parrots in a cage, and Ashikaga Yoshinori was very troubled by this, and he actually didn't want to believe that North Korea was easily destroyed.

The relationship between the Japanese and North Korea was not friendly, and it could even be called bad, and there were often frictions and contradictions between the two countries, although there was no large-scale war, but it was only a matter of time.

When there is nothing to do, the Japanese people like to scold the king of North Korea Li Fangyuan, for example, if his wife cheats, he will scold "damn Li Fangyuan", drink cold water and choke, scold "Damn Li Fangyuan", such as tripping over a stone, scolding "Damn Li Fangyuan"......

But it is undeniable that Li Fangyuan, a bastard who seized power and usurped the country by virtue of the two princes' rebellions, made the Japanese people very jealous.

It is really unimaginable that the state of Korea, which is now on a par with the national strength of the Japanese state, has been easily destroyed, does this also mean that the Japanese state will also face the same experience as the DPRK?

While arguing with everyone in the room, Ashikaga Yoshimori's lieutenant hurriedly walked in and handed out a secret letter.

It is very rude to be interrupted in the meeting of high-level generals, but this lieutenant general is not stupid, of course he understands the truth, but he still did it, which can only be explained:

- Something is wrong!

The room fell silent, and everyone looked at Ashikaga Yoshinori in unison.

The secret letter was opened, and after Ashikaga Yoshinori read it, he took a deep breath: "Gentlemen, I want to announce an important matter now, just now I said 'I suspect that King Qi's next target is us', this sentence is a bit wrong. ”

"I can tell you clearly now, remove the 'suspicion', King Qi is about to start a war with us!"

"King Qi's army has occupied Tsushima Island, and they are based on Tsushima Island, and an astonishing number of warships are sailing towards Kyushu Island, the southernmost island of our country!"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar, and it was difficult for everyone to accept this reality, but they had to admit the reality.

Ashikaga Yoshimori, as the real ruler of the Wa Kingdom, could not have made that kind of "funny" joke at such a high-level meeting, unless he, the shogun, did not want to do it.

The high-level people of the Japanese state have a feeling of "mom opens the door, I am outrageous", this little life is good, and suddenly there is a catastrophe, which is difficult for anyone to accept.

"Ashikaga Yoshimori, how are you going to fight this battle?" A gray-haired shogunate elder stood up, not so much as an inquiry, more like a question, and the title was also directly named.

In the Muromachi shogunate, each guardian daimyo obeyed the Ashikaga family by signing and drawing, and they were basically relatives of the Ashikaga family, which was equivalent to just the Ashikaga family on the surface, but in fact, the big guys were equal.

A few brothers support you to be the leader of this Japanese country, and the meaning is fine, but now when the country is in crisis, I don't even bother to mean it.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi pondered for a moment, and could only bite the bullet and say: "We should contact the guardian daimyo of various places as soon as possible, although in normal times, we occasionally have some friction that leads to discord, but now we have a common enemy, that is, King Qi of the Ming Dynasty." There may be some disparities in the strength of this war, but please remember that our goal is not to defeat them, but to bring them down. If the Ming Dynasty wants to attack our country, it must take the sea route, dragging a long baggage line, as long as we can withstand the pressure of the first round, the subsequent battle is actually not so difficult to fight. ”

At the critical moment, Ashikaga Yoshinori was still reliable.

He directly pointed out the biggest crisis in the current state of Japan - continuous infighting.

The best way to alleviate internal pressure is to fight externally, and in the face of a common enemy, everyone will maintain a strange kind of unity, although this unity will erupt in a more violent form after the war is over.

Defeat the enemy, and everyone will be killed for profit.

Didn't run away...... If you don't run away, everyone will die, what else is there to say?

"I agree with you." The venerable shogunate elder nodded.

Not because of how much he respects Ashikaga Yoshinori, but because he has no other way.

Looking at the current situation, the only way to push Ashikaga Yoshiji on the cusp of the storm is to unite to deal with King Qi of the Ming Dynasty.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agreed."

"I agree."

And a number of high-ranking shogunate officials in the room seconded the proposal, expressing their approval of Ashikaga Yoshinori's idea.

This also made Ashikaga Yoshinori breathe a sigh of relief, if these people want to continue the infighting, the next battle will not have to be fought, it is already a disadvantage, and there is a special infighting, and when King Qi comes over, they will all kill themselves!

Now seeing these people acquiescing, Ashikaga Yoshinori is also somewhat sure in his heart.

As long as these people were united, he felt that it would not seem so difficult to deal with the Great Ming Qi King who had come from afar.

……

Tsushima Island, an island that was fought over by North Korea and the Japanese kingdom, was fought over because the island's strategic location was too important.

This island is stuck in the position between Korea and the Japanese state, as long as it can occupy it, it will occupy the military commanding heights, it can be attacked and retreated, and it can launch a rapid attack on the enemy country at any time, and it can also stand firm and constantly wage a war of attrition against the enemy country, as if a solid military town was established on the sea without roots.

Because of this importance, Korea and the Wa Kingdom have been fighting for the ownership of Tsushima, and once the two countries start a war, the country that occupies Tsushima Island is equivalent to 20,000 more sailors!

Well, now no one has to fight.

Now on Tsushima Island, the banner of the Ming Dynasty is flying!
