Chapter 625
The divine body is the physical quality necessary to become a god. Fang Qiang is a fellow practitioner of the three departments of magic and ancient martial arts.

After nearly four months of hard training, Fang Qiang's physical fitness has been stuck at the bottleneck of becoming a god. Whether it is magic, supernatural powers or ancient martial arts, they are all at the peak of B level!
We are just one step away from the last step!

But this kick is not so easy to get, not only requires qualifications and understanding, but also needs opportunities!
Opportunity is a thing that cannot be found, so Fang Qiang has to be so busy for the time being.

Wulin Continent, Yanjing City, the office building of the Supreme Military Council, Fang Qiang is listening to his subordinates to make the next stage of combat report!
Now, Fang Qiang's army is in full swing, and has unified the entire Erhuaxia Shenzhou, and the control of Goguryeo and Silla has also been actually controlled!

It didn't take much effort to defeat these two countries, because Goguryeo and Silla were originally controlled by the Mongolian and Yuan nobles. Fang Qiang's general Wang Baobao completely felt Mobei, and these two countries became tributaries of the Ming Empire. !

It is very difficult to govern such a large territory, because some remote places are really far away from the emperor, and it takes ten days at the fastest for a decree to pass from Yanjing!
The cabinet was very troubled by this, but this matter is not impossible to solve. The railway advocated by Fang Qiang is a very good way to convey information, so the next step of the cabinet's plan is to build a railway!

The railway to be built this time is not a certain one, but a whole series, starting from Yanjing City, and radiating to the east, west, north, south, in turn, in short, this railway will radiate every corner of the Ming Empire!
"Brother Xu, where do you think our next plan is to attack?"

Fang Qiang looked at the railway network on the wall and asked leisurely.

"Your Majesty, with our current military strength, we can reach any corner of the world! But that is at any cost, considering the logistical supplies and casualties, so it is not appropriate to send troops to the north, Wei Chen and Chang Yuchun Geng Zaicheng and others exchanged views, and we believe that the empire’s next strategy should be in the south..."

"Are you talking about Japan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Qiang looked at the map on the wall, found the worm-like land, and said, "The Japanese kingdom is too small, but it is the most important step in our Pacific strategy, so it must be beautiful for me!"

Xu Da said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have practiced the Japanese naval battle more than a dozen times. With the comprehensive strength of the Pacific Fleet, it only takes one frontal attack to wipe out the entire Japanese navy. As for the subsequent landing operations, there is no suspense. The army is unstoppable, and it only takes three days to occupy the entire territory of Wa!"

"Okay!" Fang Qiang nodded clearly and said, "I'm not too worried about the war. The only thing I'm worried about is those Japanese people. Remember, I'm officially giving orders as His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Xu Da hesitated for a while, and then hurriedly knelt down. No wonder Xu Da was surprised, it was really weird.Fang Qiang has always been a amiable person. Even when he became the emperor, he never put on airs. He often called his veterans a brother-in-law. This was the first time he had given orders like this as an emperor except when he ascended the throne!
So Xu Da was very cautious!

Fang Qiang said to Xu Da in a very serious tone: "Don't show any sympathy in the battle against the Japanese country. You don't have to consider the issue of inhumanity. You can kill as many people as you can! In addition, about the post-war issues You have to remember clearly that the captives of the Japanese country, whether they are men or women, or the elderly and children, they can only be slaves! In addition, they are not allowed to intermarry, and they are not allowed to marry anyone! Those women are not allowed to reward meritorious soldiers! Let them live on their own Destroy!"

"Your Majesty... isn't this too cruel? You are exterminating the entire Japanese family!"

Xu Da took a certain risk when he said this, but he had to say that it was not for his own sake, but for Fang Qiang's reputation!

His Majesty, the emperor of the Ming Empire, is kind and virtuous, even for the cruel Mongolian nobles, he still has a way to survive, so such an order will definitely damage Fang Qiang's reputation!
"Cruel? It's a great benevolence for me to save their lives! This matter is settled like this, don't mention it again!"

"Yes……"

Xu Da finally agreed, this is an order given by Fang Qiang as the emperor, and no one can refute it!

The days passed day by day like this, and soon it was the seventh day of April in the third year of Hongwu. On this morning, Fang Qiang personally inspected the Pacific Fleet, and the battle to attack the Japanese country officially began!

The Pacific Ocean is full of wind and waves. Although Fang Qiang's fleet is sailing against the wind, the new warships equipped with steam engines are not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles.

In fact, choosing such a day to dispatch troops was also carefully planned by the staff department. Only in this way, the Japanese navy dared to fight with all its strength!
The strengths of the two sides are not equal at all, so this war has been a one-sided massacre from the very beginning.

The Japanese navy was bombarded by the crossbows in just one encounter, and what happened next was just as Xu Da had guessed, when the fleet of the Ming Empire rushed to land on the beach, the warriors of the Japanese country could not form any effective force at all. Resistance, in just 3 days, the entire territory of Wa Kingdom was occupied, and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu committed seppuku in Kyoto!

According to the original regulations of the Ming Empire, after the war, the people would appease the people, but in the Wa Kingdom, this process was obviously omitted!
There was no comfort at all. The Japanese people were all reduced to slaves, building bridges, repairing roads, mining, and burying them on the spot if they died!

It's not that Fang Qiang is cruel, it's that this nation has no need to survive!

This area of ​​the Wa Kingdom is very barren, except for fish, there is only some rice, but this place is not useless, because their precious metal resources are quite rich, such as gold and silver!
Fang Qiang has always been committed to conquering the world, so the gold standard is particularly important. The Ming Empire has a vast territory, and many gold mines have been mined in various places, but it is still one step away from realizing the concept of the gold standard!
Now it seems that this step has to be implemented on Wa Guo!
Fang Qiang's order to the cabinet was as follows: all Japanese people were demoted to slaves and the silver mines in Shijian Mountain were mined at all costs. Four years before Hongwu, the Ming Empire must enter the gold standard currency system!
The phrase "at all costs" is not just casually, it means that the lives of Japanese people cannot be taken for granted!

Regarding this point, Liu Bowen, the chief minister of the cabinet, did not understand very much. Fang Qiang had never shown such a cruel side before, so his advice!
