Domineering Daming

Cao Bianjiao said: "Okay, first go to Tsushima to have a look, Tsushima is not far from Jiuguo Island."

Dorgon looked calm, like a loyal general of the Ming Dynasty, and said: "Captain Cao, the general wants to meet with Commander Yang, I wonder if it's appropriate?"

Governor General Yang is also Yang Sichang, the conscript envoy this time.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, his face was as usual, and said: "Governor Yang has already gone to Ezo, and there are [-] Mongolian troops there."

Dorgon didn't answer this question, he was silent for a while, and said: "According to the information obtained by the general, Wa is an island country with difficult terrain and a very dense population. There are millions of young and strong available. Their shogun is quite capable. Ability, [-] troops, is it really enough?"

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, smiled rarely, and said: "Your worries, the government and the people also have them. Now it's the summer harvest, and the Japanese side must be in a state of distress. The fatal thing about them is that they have no fortresses and no barriers. They are everywhere. Within the range of the attack, the Wa Kingdom will definitely be defeated!"

Dorgon nodded almost subconsciously, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Wa country is an island country, with many mountains, many islands, peninsulas, complicated roads, fierce customs, and dense population.

When marching in the Ming Dynasty, they always abided by the "law and etiquette", and only punished the chief criminals, and pardoned the rest. Wouldn't this be endless?

He didn't say these things, his identity is very sensitive, so he can't say much at this time.

Cao Bianjiao didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, he seemed to know everything, but in fact he had a lot of reservations, and he didn't tell Dorgon.

At the same time, Ryukyu and North Korea's troops were easily concentrated. They were not stationed on Tsushima Island, but went to the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima, and were dispatched by Zuo Liangyu.In this way, Satsuma's army has [-], plus their temporary expansion, close to [-]!

To the south of Sakhalin Island is Ezo Island. Ezo has a very famous name in later generations: Hokkaido.

The current Ezo Island is still a desolate area with a sparse population and poor reclamation. Even though there have been immigrants from Ming Dynasty in the past few years to stop the reclamation, compared to the huge island, it is still only in one corner.

Mongolia's [-] troops have been stationed here, across the Tsugaru Strait, looking at the island of the country across the water.

At this time, Yang Sichang and Chief of Staff Qian Jinxiao were in the camp, discussing specific strategies.

Qian Jinxiao looked at the map with a serious expression, and said, "My lord had a good idea before, but he landed at a short distance, captured Edo, and disintegrated the Wa country in one fell swoop. But it doesn't matter whether we can reach Edo smoothly, if the Tokugawa shogunate leads Their emperor withdrew ahead of time, and we were unable to pursue them from long distances. Without backup and logistical support, if we fell into a hard fight, the entire army might be wiped out, which would affect the entire plan..."

There was no displeasure on Yang Sichang's face, his eyes were fixed on the map, and he said: "The commander-in-chief's worry is right, the situation in the Wa country is complicated, we should proceed step by step, steadily and steadily, and advance on the premise of ensuring victory... But, we can't wait, You can't turn the war into a stalemate, and you can't keep consuming..."

The situation in Daming does not allow long-term battles, and money and food cannot support it.

Qian Jinxiao said: "Then, what do you think, my lord? The emperor has authorized you to command at the front line, and there must be no mistakes."

Yang Sichang was expressionless, and said: "There is still time, we will review the strategy and tactics, formulate a quick and proper plan, and order all the troops to step up to their positions, and order the Military Intelligence Department to keep an eye on the Japanese state!"

"Yes!" Qian Jinxiao said in a deep voice with a military salute.

Yang Sichang stared at the map for a long time, and said: "The previous tactics remain the same. Use the navy to separate Shikoku Island from your own island and Jiuguo Island. Dorgon's [-] troops will eat Shikoku Island!"

Qian Jinxiao said: "Then, if the Tokugawa shogunate launches an attack on the Shimabara Peninsula and Kagoshima on Kyukoku Island, how should we respond?"

Chapter 1329 False Dao Destroying Guo

Although Japan is full of flaws, it is not so easy to attack because of the flaws everywhere.

The original plan of the Shuai Mansion was to drain the blood of the Wa Kingdom on the Jiuguo Island, and then cross the Guanmen Strait and enter the Honguo Island.

However, this kind of strategy is not only time-consuming on the nine islands, but also difficult to drive straight to the home islands, and may fall into bitter battles and logistical problems.

Therefore, Yang Sichang proposed to go to Shikoku Island first to disperse the military power of the Wa Kingdom, and then land in Edo, take the heart of the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop, and then sweep the island of Japan to conquer the Wa Kingdom!

Now after careful research, it is found that this strategy is also dangerous. It does not meet the "quick and safe" requirements of the Qianqing Palace, and there may be a risk of failure.

The question raised by Qian Jinxiao was very sharp. Jiuguo Island was the heart of the Wo Kingdom. If Daming could not control Jiuguo Island, it would be even more impossible to conquer Homeland Island.

Therefore, the Satsuma clan in Kagoshima and the Christians in the Shimabara Peninsula must not lose!

While Daming contained the Wa Kingdom, it was also held back.

What Yang Sichang is best at is large-scale layout, various ministries advance, encircle and encircle, and divide and eat.

Hearing Qian Jinxiao's words, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "Waguo has deployed heavy troops in the Guanmen Strait, and there is also a navy, so it can't be blocked now?"

Qian Jinxiao said: "Yes. Japan has learned the lesson from last time, not only the Kanmon Strait, but also the Tsugaru Strait."

"How many fleets have been dispatched by the navy?" Yang Sichang asked.

Qian Jinxiao said: "One hundred ships, 3 people."

"Okay, when people arrive, let Cao Bianjiao go to the shore of Edo first, pretend to land, make more scarecrows, and make them more realistic, so that the Japanese people believe that we will go straight to Edo!" Yang Sichang said.

"Yes." Qian Jinxiao took out a small notebook and said in memory, just about to ask again.

Yang Sichang said again: "Go and watch. The Mongolian soldiers on Ezo Island will be transported by sea during the day, and transported out at night, back and forth several times. The camp will expand, pretending to have an army of [-]."

Qian Jinxiao stopped asking, took notes carefully, and said, "Yes."

Yang Sichang said: "Send a letter to the commander's mansion, saying that I want to make temporary decisions and adjust strategies and tactics."

Qian Jinxiao said: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Then, the date of the start of the war?"

Yang Sichang stood up, his eyes were cold, and he said: "Make preparations first, especially the Military Intelligence Department. You must find out all aspects of the situation. Others, wait for my order!"

"Yes." Qian Jin said filially.

When Yang Sichang stepped up his preparations, on the opposite side of Ezo, the Mutsu Clan in the south was already on the verge of an enemy, and Chen Bing was looking across the Tsugaru Strait.

The feudal lord, Masamune Date, stayed with the patriarchs of Andong, Nanbu, Oura, Ishikawa and many other big families. At the moment, they are in the northernmost city of Dounan, the northernmost county of the Mutsu clan.

Masamune Date is almost 70 years old, with the oldest qualifications and the strongest strength. As the feudal lord, he sat in the middle, looked at the kneeling crowd, and said: "Everyone has already seen that the menacing Ming Dynasty is a matter of life and death for our Mutsu clan. , right in front of your eyes."

Except for Date Masamune, these people are all in charge of one side of the hall, similar to a country within a country, with considerable autonomy, but they are subordinate to the Date family.

Date Masamune himself did not have many troops, and the total number of so many families was only 8000.

The group of people were all silent, their heads lowered, their eyes flickering constantly.

The Ming people on the other side, they have checked many times, and there are [-] troops who have arrived at Ezo Island!

Thirty thousand, not to mention the Mutsu clan, even Luzhong, and the Luqian feudal clans don't add up to that much, and they are equipped with such powerful firearms and navy.

Date Masamune's complexion was old, with a deep and cruel look in his wrinkles. His gaze was like an eagle and sharp as a sword, sweeping across everyone present.

Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, it was the Patriarch of the Ishikawa Clan, he raised his head and said, "Dian Date, I don't know, what is the arrangement of the public?"

The strongest one in Japan now is the Tokugawa family. After two generations of governance by Tokugawa Ieyasu, no one can stand against the Tokugawa shogunate in Tokugawa Iemitsu's generation. What's more, Tokugawa Iemitsu's methods are not inferior to his father and grandfather at all. .

Date Masamune glanced at him, and said: "The plan of the government is to solve the Kyugoku Island first. Matsudaira Nobutsuna will bring 2 people to support us, and keep the Mingren on Ezo Island."

Everyone present raised their heads one after another, and the head of the Dapu Clan smiled and said: "Your Lord Xin Gang is here, why should we worry."
