Last time, I mentioned that China and Japan have been bitter about each other for more than 1,000 years, and the heart of the Japanese will not die.

"Rest your anger!" Although the carpenter sits in the air and exhales and refines qi, he can stir up the surrounding "Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi" through the release of spiritual power, and emits a resonant voice at the same frequency: "The Japanese slaves are hateful and will be destroyed." However, there are also many powerful 'cultivators' in the Wa Kingdom, and they must be prepared to make all possible measures before they can go to the conquest! ”

"Oh? The meaning of the national teacher is...... Not a good idea of going to war? "Can't we just say that we will destroy the Japanese people? "No! If the king is humiliated, the minister will die, and the Japanese slaves must be destroyed to relieve the hatred! "Yes, yes, the Japanese have repeatedly invaded all parts of the coastal areas of our Ming Dynasty, captured the state capital, looted property, and killed and plundered the people, which is unbearable!" "That's it, if you don't beat you to the death, this widow will bully us in Beijing City!" The emperor, the ministers and others asked for an edict to go east! ”

At this time, the civil and military officials were also angered by the provocative behavior of the "envoy of the Japanese state", even after listening to the warning of the carpenter, they still did not think so, because the civil and military officials felt that even if the other party had a strong "cultivation force" behind the back, but that was also the business of the "immortal family" such as the "national teacher", and it had nothing to do with ordinary people such as themselves, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has a new look, not only is the military strong, the soldiers are strong, and the morale is flourishing, and it is advisable to expand the territory.

"Uh...... Case. Then ......" After Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked around at everyone, he nodded to each other with the carpenter who was sitting in the air and refining qi, and then said loudly: "The ceremony continues." First sacrifice to the temple, then feast the guests, and then amnesty the world! When the court is ready, it will issue a letter to beg for thieves! ”

In this way, Emperor Chongzhen did not want his "big wedding ceremony" to become murderous, so he decided to use "banquet guests" and "amnesty to the world" to ease the atmosphere, which was very popular, because the envoys of "Kunyu Wanguo" had the opportunity to eat and drink while letting go of their bellies, and at the same time receive the rewards they deserved as soon as possible.

However, all those who have a heart can sense a hint of tension from the unexpected incident, that is, the Ming Dynasty is preparing to launch a large-scale war with foreign countries. In this case, it is better for me to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, so as not to burn myself, where can I still care about appreciating the "Ming Fanghua"?

However, due to the provision of "the country that will not be conquered during the fifteenth year" in the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", Emperor Chongzhen hesitated whether to conquer Japan in the east? After all, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, sent troops to Japan three times and failed, which was a bloody lesson, so some people thought that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to conquer Japan.

But in fact, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in a different time and space, the Ming Dynasty had set off a discussion of "Eastern Expedition to Japan", and the strategy of "Eastern Expedition to Japan" was even affirmed by the Ming Dynasty's high-level officials, but why did it not come to fruition in the end? I'm afraid there are a lot of historical coincidences in this, right?

In the 19th year of Wanli (1591), the Ming court received a lot of information about Japan's military expansion. In April, Chen, a native of Fujian, declared: "The Japanese slaves built ships and picked up troops, and poured the country into the country." Immediately afterward, all kinds of information about Japan's imminent invasion of Korea and even China's invasion snowflakes poured in.

In July, this information was transmitted to Beijing, and the cabinet assistant Xu Guo immediately forwarded to the Wanli Emperor a report from Chang Jujing, the governor of Zhejiang, and Zhao Shenlu, the governor of Fujian, and requested that preparations be made to transfer troops and grain to strengthen coastal defenses, so as to resist the attack of the Japanese Japanese army and disturb the Ming Dynasty.

After that, the Ming court also adopted a number of measures to prepare for the Japanese, such as strengthening the armament of the southeast coast, raising military expenses, grain and grass, and collecting Japanese intelligence. At the same time as the war machine on the southeast coast was launched, all people of insight, from the court to the people, all the people of insight went up one after another to discuss all kinds of matters related to preparing for the Japanese. Among them, there is no lack of preemptive strategies to "smash Japan", and this kind of strategy has also been valued by the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, especially the emperor Laozi.

For example, the "Records of Mingshenzong" records that Liu Jiwen, the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, wrote a letter to prevent Japanese slaves: "The circumstances of the Japanese slaves are still known to Yueyi, and they are ordered to capture Guan Bai and sacrifice, and they will be rewarded heavily, especially to eliminate the trouble of Anbang." It's like a talk. It was mentioned that the Portuguese in Canton should be mobilized to attack Japan.

From the folk Qiu Junqing's "Cure for the Root Cause" is recorded: "(Qiu Junqing) died at the age of his death, Wen Ping Hideyoshi (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) will enter the Kou, still angry, Yishu Zhefu, please such as the story of the Han Henghai Building, Zhang Zhongwei, the viewer. ("The Picture of Haiyan County in the Apocalypse") shows that the people care about state affairs.

If the above-mentioned "nest smashing strategy" was confined to local officials and non-governmental figures, and could not represent the opinions of the Ming court, then the "Imperial Decree of the Wanli Emperor" ("Mingshenzong" Zhu Yijun) may show what the attitude of the Ming court was towards Japan, which was about to invade Korea on a large scale.

According to the record of "Seonjo Record": "At the beginning, I sent Huang Yunji and others to Japan, and Hideyoshi wrote to our country, so that he could reorganize his army and cooperate with Japan to directly invade Shangguo. Our country reprimanded the righteousness, that is, in April of his year (the twenty-fourth year of Seonjo), because of the Holy Day, Kim Yingnan's trip was heard. China and North Korea first heard of the conspiracy of Xu Yi and then heard of it, so that our country wanted to join forces with Siam, Ryukyu and other countries to recruit and suppress. This shows that Japan deliberately released false news and wanted to unite Korea to invade the Ming Dynasty in China.

The "Chronicles of the Rebuilding of the Domain" also recorded: "When Jin Yingnan returned, the Son of Heaven sent an edict to reward platinum, silk, and color segments, and the envoys also ordered the division to be added to the exception, and the edict was sent to Siam, Ryukyu and other countries to copy the army." Although this edict was more of a test of North Korea, it also showed that the top leaders of the Ming court at that time already had the idea of "smashing Japan's nest". Only then did he tentatively propose to let Siam (Thailand), Ryukyu (Okinawa Prefecture) and other vassal states send troops to help Korea resist Japan.

It's a pity that the Koreans politely rejected the edict of Emperor Wanli on the grounds of "not going to the sea", which also laid the groundwork for the Ming court to suspect that North Korea was colluding with Japan. "Not accustomed to going to the sea" means not being familiar with the national conditions of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty such as Southeast Asia, and fearing that the other party's strength is not strong enough to destroy the Japanese and suffer the blame.

It can be seen from this that in the 19th year of Wanli, on the eve of the outbreak of the war of "aiding Korea and resisting Japan", the Ming Dynasty already had the basic idea of "conquest of Japan", and the characteristic of this concept was that the army of the vassal state was the main force to conquer Oriental Japan. This feature was also continued in the subsequent strategy of conquest.

But in general, it was only an idea, which remained only at the stage of proposal and failed to be implemented, because at this stage, the main focus of the Ming court was still on strengthening armaments, guarding against the possibility that the army of the Japanese "madmen" (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) might abandon Korea and invade its own southeast coast.

However, with the beginning of the war, this idea that was almost stillborn was brought out for discussion. In the twentieth year of Wanli (1592), Zhang Wenxi, the young secretary of Taifu Temple, proposed the strategy of "conquering the nest". The core of this strategy was to send 15,000 troops from each of the four provinces of Zhejiang, Zhizhi, Fujian, and Guangdong, with a combined force of 60,000 troops, to land on the Japanese mainland across the sea and solve the problem of Japanese invasion in World War I. Among them, "Zhi" is "Zhili Nanjing", and many elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were also stationed.

After this strategy was proposed, it immediately attracted the attention of the government and the opposition, and was brought to the court for discussion. One of the more valuable comments is "The Expedition to the Nest in a Hurry, Not a Careful Trial to Obtain Victory" written by Xu Huan of Nanjing's "Criminal Division", in which Zhang Wenxi's strategy was considered to be a good policy, but it was difficult to implement because Japan and China were separated by a vast sea, and the road was impassable. In the end, this strategy failed to pass the court, and Zhang Wenxi himself was transferred to Nanjing.

However, the strategic concept of "smashing Japan's nest" has not been hidden because of this, but has been further refined and has attracted the attention of the vast number of officials and scholars. Some officials began to study how to solve the problem of "difficult roads" in Zhang Wenxi's plan, such as Xu Fuyuan, the governor of Fujian at the time.

In the twenty-first year of Wanli (1593), Xu Fuyuan, the governor of Fujian, sent spies to Japan to provide information for the "nest smashing plan" in the future. At the same time, Siam (Thailand) sent an envoy to the court, and recorded in the "Records of Mingshenzong": "The governor of Liangguang is the imperial history of Xiao Yan, Siam (Thailand) is in the extreme west, and he went to Japan for more than 10,000 miles. The Ministry of War issued an order to send troops directly to Japan. "It is said that there is a lot of concern about this matter.

From here, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty military department at that time had agreed to Siam (Thailand)'s request to send troops. The aforementioned Wanli Emperor's "Imperial Decree on the Levy of the Japanese" appeared at this time, which also made the Ming Dynasty a realistic opportunity to send troops to Japan. However, Siam (Thailand) is a foreigner after all, and its heart is unpredictable!

In the end, under the persuasion of the two Guangzhous, the Ming court still stopped the Siamese envoy on his way back to China to announce the edict. The plan to send troops to Siam (Thailand) has been put on hold for the time being. However, this provided an important idea for the officials who advocated "smashing Japan's nest", that is, to mobilize the armies of the subject countries to fight together.

In the twenty-second year of Wanli (1592), as Shi Shiyong and other spies returned to China one after another, a large amount of Japanese intelligence was brought back to the Ming Dynasty, which caused repercussions from all sides. Xu Fuyuan, on the other hand, once again put forward a strategy of conquest and suppression against the Japanese mainland based on intelligence, that is, "Please Deal with the Japanese Chieftain".

This time's strategy is more complete than Zhang Wenxi's previous generalizations. "Shu" not only analyzes the tense situation in Japan at that time, such as "the chiefs of other countries, there are many people who want to think about Hideyoshi's actions. conspiracy to destroy the country, and the grudge is also deep", that is, Japan is deeply involved in the warlord melee.

The "Shu" also put forward the correct strategy for dealing with Japan, that is, "using the space, preparing for the defense, and requisitioning and suppressing," and calculated the relevant military expenditure and the number of troops to be dispatched, that is, "send millions of internal funds, help the provinces to build more than 2,000 warships, select and train 200,000 elite soldiers, take advantage of their emptiness, take them by surprise, join the troops upstream, and go straight to the Japanese state." Xu Fuyuan's training and selection of generals after being transferred to the Nanjing Military Department is probably practicing this strategy, so that he can send troops to conquer Japan at any time.
