Chapter 196: Controversy

"It's a good 'platform strategy', but I'm afraid there are too many difficulties in this plan!" Nian Qianyao said.

"Yes, how many of the people are willing to leave their homes? Moreover, I am afraid that this move of the adults will have to attract at least 300,000 people, which is too difficult. Yang Yuan also said.

"Hehe, of course I know that this is difficult to do, but this is just a little opinion of mine, and it will be written and submitted to the court later, and in the end, whether it is done depends on how the emperor and the court decide!" Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"In fact, the adults led the troops to pacify half of Taiwan this time, which is already a high achievement, and there is really no need to worry about things here." Yinchu said.

"Big brother, you are wrong, you also know that before I came, I told the emperor about the Great Jianshui Division. Therefore, I don't want to worry about Taiwan, but for the sake of my Dashimizu Master in the future! Yu Zhong said.

"Sailor? Although Taiwan has the power to influence the southeast, as long as our Dashimizu Division is safe, they will not be able to do it at all. What's there to worry about? Yang Yuan asked.

"Taiwan can affect the southeastern half of our Qing Dynasty, but what if it's only to the west and east?" Yu Zhong pointed to the map on the wall of the tent and said: "In the northeast, Taiwan is connected to the Ryukyus, and then to Japan." To the south, Taiwan faces Luzon across the sea. In these two places, it is possible to threaten our country by sea in the future, so we must station more soldiers and horses in Taiwan to guard against possible enemies in these two places. ”

"Little Japan, what is there to fear? If I mention that a brigade of heroes enters the country from Korea, it will be destroyed overnight; Luzon now belongs to Spain, which originally belongs to Europa, and its territory is not as good as one of our provinces, and they are usually respectful to our Qing Dynasty, so how dare they covet Taiwan? Yinchu said with some displeasure.

"Yes, Japan is small. However, the Great Brother Mo forgot about the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty and the attack on Manchuria a few years earlier. Luzon belongs to Spain, and that's true, but, big brother, you also know that Spain itself is in Europa, but how can they have a piece of territory here? Moreover, did Luzon really belong to him Spain? Yu Zhong smiled and asked Yinchu a few words, and then asked Nian Qianyao and Yang Yuan: "Do any of you know the history of Luzon?" Do you know who was in charge of Luzon in the past? ”

Nian Qianyao and Yang Yuan shook their heads.

"Luzon was founded in the first year, between the fifth year of Hongwu in the former Ming Dynasty and the eighth year of Yongle, there were three consecutive envoys to visit the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty also sent envoys to apply for employment in the third year of Yongle. One of the kings of Luzon, King Sulu, personally led a delegation to visit the Ming Dynasty, and later died in Dezhou, Shandong. At that time, the merchants of the southeast coast of the Central Plains also had frequent contacts with Luzon, and from then on, overseas Chinese began to live in Luzon. Later, the Spaniards invaded and met resistance from the locals. Suleiman, the king of Luzon at the time, commanded his army and civilians to engage the Spaniards several times, only to be killed in naval battles. Subsequently, Luzon was gradually conquered by Spain. The Spaniards also established their rule in Luzon! ......," Yu Zhong said, shaking his head. Drake wasn't there at this point, and it was his turn to play.

"Don't you want to say that this Spaniard will dare to offend me one day?" Yin Zhen smiled.

"I don't dare say that. But is that really not possible? The Dutch dared to occupy Taiwan with a small land, why didn't the Spaniards dare? If they don't dare to plot against the mainland, don't they dare to plot against Taiwan? Yu Zhong said.

"If they dare, we'll send him back to his mother's womb!" Yang Yuan shouted.

"Beat back the mother's womb? Hmph, then you'll have to take the troops to Europa! Glaring at Yang Yuan, Yu Zhong continued: "Westerners are robbers by nature. Russia dared to seek our land with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses and invaded the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty. Why doesn't he dare to use our brains? Even if there is a war, are they still afraid that we will not succeed? We have sailors, and they have fleets that can go thousands of miles to the sea, huh, can we still hit his door? Since they won't break their muscles and bones, what else are they afraid of? …… What's more, since you are a warrior, you should guard against any possible enemy for the country at any time. Bright work! ”

"The last general!" Nian Qianyao responded.

"You know something about Japan, and I ask you, who is the most admired person in Japan?" Yu Zhong asked.

"Please forgive me, the last general...... Not so clear! Nian Qianyao replied.

"Not clear? Then you go out and ask, Naoki and they are in the camp, you go and ask them and you'll know! Yu Zhong said.

"Wow!" Nian Qianyao was ordered to go out of the account to ask, and after a while, he walked back and said to the ** hand: "Lord Hui, the Japanese people, the most worshipful is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who once called himself 'Taiko'!" ”

"Why?" Yu Zhong asked again.

"Cause...... Because this person once unified Japan, and led an army of 200,000 to invade Korea, and intended to get involved in the Central Plains! He also made wild promises that he wanted Japan to 'set the capital in Beijing' and 'stay in Hangzhou for the rest of his life'. Nian Qianyao replied in a loud voice.

"You're only half right." Yu Zhong looked at Yinchu and Yang Yuan, who were in a daze when they heard the conversation between him and Nian Qianyao, and continued: "The reason why this person is worshiped by the Japanese is not only because he has left behind some bullshit that 'drove straight into the Ming Kingdom, the customs of the Yi Wu Dynasty in more than 400 states, and the Shi Emperor was politicalized in hundreds of millions of years', but also because he once led 200,000 troops to destroy North Korea and hit the former Ming Dynasty hard, making the former Ming 'lose hundreds of thousands of teachers and pay millions', and the treasury and army elites were almost exhausted. With a remote Ze country, the former Ming Dynasty was greatly injured, so although he was defeated, he was still glorious. ”

"That's the incompetence of the former Ming general!" Yinchu said indifferently.

"The former Ming general is incompetent? Really? Big brother, I guess you don't know much about the nature of the Japanese. I can give you an example...... As you know, we have an army of servants! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Not bad. I know this! Yinchu nodded and replied.

"Lianggong, this servant army is trained by you, and it is also led by you personally on weekdays, I want to ask you, how is their combat strength? What about training? Yu Zhong looked at Yinzhen with a smile, and asked Nian Qianyao again.

"This ......" Nian Qianyao took a breath, took a good look at Yin's face, hesitated for a while, and then nodded and said: "This army is very obedient, easy to train, can endure hardships, can endure fatigue, and more than a month of training is enough to fight against my ordinary army." ”

"More than a month? ......" Yinchu was stunned for a moment, then relaxed his expression, and said in a somewhat teasing tone: "I remember that most of these people seem to be pirates, as long as they are obedient and train well, they shouldn't be too bad, right?" ”

"Big brother, you still haven't understood!" Yu Zhong shook his head.

"How?"

"Big brother, this army is extremely well-behaved, but when it fights, it is extremely brave, and it is also very grouped. I remember one time, when they failed to complete their task for some reason, they were all generous, and only punished a few leaders for not having food for a day, and as a result, the soldiers in this army went on a hunger strike for a day and punished themselves together! ......," Nian Qianyao said again.

“……”

"If our soldiers go on a hunger strike for a day, I don't know what will happen?" Yu Zhong asked faintly.

“…… If you meet a famous general, it will naturally be fine, but if you are an ordinary army, I am afraid that someone will make trouble! Yang Yuan replied.

"Yu Dutong, do you want me to tell the emperor and the ministers of the court that to the east of us, across the sea, there is a tiger that will suddenly jump up and hurt people! We should be preemptive! Yinchu thought for a while, and suddenly asked with interest.

"That's not what I meant!" Yu Zhong understood what Yinchu meant, this eldest brother wanted to say that he intended to incite the Qing court to provoke Japan in order to seek military merits, but he didn't mean this in the first place, so he naturally wanted to deny it.

"Not? What do you mean by that? Yinchu asked again, a faint smile on his face indicating that he just thought that Yu Zhong's words just now were shirk.

"Japan is very respectful to us right now. So, my purpose is ...... Recruit a few more servants from there and let them fight for us! Yu Zhong smiled mysteriously, and then said to Yinchu: "Big brother, these Japanese salaries are very cheap. ”

“…… Adult, are you kidding? Yang Yuan asked dumbfounded.

"General Yang, what you said is reasonable...... Yu Dutong, what you said is too much, how can there be a reason to give the weapon of the country to another country since ancient times? Yinchu also shook his head again and again. If it weren't for Yu Zhong who said this, he would probably have been killed on the spot.

"Big brother, you're too impatient, I don't mean that, forget it, let's talk about it here today, anyway, until we return to Beijing, we all have time to discuss this issue! ......" Yu Zhong knew that his question was a bit ahead of his time, after all, the word "mercenary" was not very fashionable in China, and only bodyguards were hired at present. However, he is not afraid of Yinchu's opposition, and he said this mainly for an introduction, no matter which aspect Yinchu and others can think of, as long as he does not think of him as wanting to take these Japanese to occupy China, he can be regarded as achieving his goal.

And the reason why he did this was just because of a nonsense idea when he talked about Japan with Mo Jing before.

Although he was just dreaming at the time, but things in this world are not real things before they have ideas? Just like airplanes, if people don't "unrealistically" want to fly into the sky, how can they build this thing? When Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of many people, it was not a farce of hitting a stone with an egg?

So, he decided to give it a try.

His idea was this: there was a plan that would span decades. Employing the common people of Japan, then their nobles, the army, and the daimyos, it was possible to keep abreast of the movements of the Japanese people and to bring Japan closer to China. Since Japan now wants to have and admires China, it is entirely possible to find an excuse to meddle in Japan's national affairs after a period of time. Proceeding from the nature of the Japanese, as long as they are supported by strong force, they will certainly not encounter too many problems in doing so. Even if they encounter problems, they can come slowly, and their ill-intentioned daimyo nobles will start with it. Then, further, the Qing court could give the Japanese emperor the title, and then, in Japan, give some daimyo the name of Chinese nobility, and let these people take refuge in it, forming a circle of aristocratic influence relying on China. In this way, it will inevitably form a kind of confrontation with the Tokugawa shogunate, no matter what the Tokugawa shogunate does in the future, the Qing court will have the opportunity to send troops to Japan, and when the time comes, he can take the servant army composed of the Japanese to fight Japan. Even, he also thought of a name for this servant army, which was called the "Imperial Cooperative Army", or: Puppet Army!
